Global Best Actor: Starting with Picking Up Attributes in America

Chapter 440 Don't Peek!

Halfway there, Jennifer suddenly sat down on the grass.

"Actually, I know you've been upset about 'Red Sparrow' all along."

Chen Xun spoke first, gently holding her hand: "But Jennifer, the failure of one movie cannot negate everything about you. You are the best actress I have ever seen. No one is more talented than you."

Jennifer lowered her head, her voice trembling with tears: "If I had acted better, the box office wouldn't have been so bad. I've let everyone down."

"You did not disappoint me."

Chen Xun squatted down and looked her in the eye: "In my heart, you will always be the most talented actress."

"Do you remember? On the set of The Hunger Games, you chased after the director with a bow, saying that the lines he gave you were stupid. Your eyes were shining then."

Jennifer finally couldn't hold back her tears and they fell.

For the past six months, everyone has been urging her to cheer up.

Everyone is saying it's okay.

But only Chen Xun truly saw her inner pride and resentment.

"I have nothing left now."

She choked up as she said, "No one wants to cast me in movies anymore."

"nonsense!"

Chen Xun took out the script and placed it in her hand: "This is a script I tailored for you, the female lead Dr. Elena in 'Dragon Soars Across the Seas'."

Jennifer froze, looking down at the words on the script cover.

"Dragon Soars Across the Seas"

She had certainly heard of that name before.

The whole world is talking about this movie now.

Chen Xun's all-star Lunar New Year film reportedly features Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Jet Li, and Andy Lau—half of the kings of the Chinese film industry—as well as Hollywood stars like Vin Diesel and Chris Hemsworth, with box office expectations pointing to 300 billion yuan.

Everyone is speculating about who will win the female lead role.

Some say it's Christine, others say it's Dakota —

No one expected that Chen Xun would leave this role to her.

A washed-up actress abandoned by the entire Hollywood.

"This character is very important to the script!"

Jennifer's voice trembled.

Given Chen Xun's current status and position, and the star-studded cast of this script, although she was on the list when it was announced, Jennifer always thought that Chen Xun would call her to ask her to play a small cameo role.

After all, there are so many popular actresses in Hollywood right now, any one of them could carry the box office better than her.

"This role was written for you; no one else would be suitable for it!"

"Holy crap, brother-in-law, you're amazing!"

Just then, several sounds suddenly came from behind the haystack.

The two turned around and saw that it was Kane, Gary, and Blaine hiding behind them.

Upon realizing that Chen Xun and Jennifer had discovered them, the group blushed.

Kane glared at his son.

They were so worried about Jennifer that they secretly followed her, but they didn't expect to be exposed by Britney.

"Sister, you must have saved the galaxy in your past life!"

Britney's expression was exaggerated.

Seeing his daughter's mood improve, Kane wiped away tears with emotion: "Chen Xun, thank you. Our hearts have been broken watching Jenny like this for the past six months."

"We've tried to persuade her countless times, but she won't listen. Now, only you can pull her out of this mess."

"Auntie, please don't say that."

Chen Xun waved his hand: "Jenny is the best actress I've ever seen. She shouldn't be overlooked."

He then turned to Jennifer, his eyes serious: "Dr. Elena is a brilliant physicist and a kung fu master. I believe you can bring her to life."

Jennifer held the script, her fingers gently stroking the cover, tears falling drop by drop onto it.

The darkness that had lasted for half a year was finally illuminated by a ray of light at this moment.

She looked up and met Chen Xun's eyes.

I found no sympathy, only trust!

Why are you so good to me?

'

She asked softly.

"Because you deserve it!"

Chen Xun answered affirmatively: "The first time I saw you on the set of 'The Hunger Games,' I felt that you were bold in love and hate, and fearless. I want that girl to come back."

Kane and Blaine exchanged a glance, then quietly turned and went home.

Both of them looked relaxed from behind.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps, falling on Chen Xun and Jennifer.

Jennifer's face flushed instantly, and her heart pounded like a drum.

She looked at Chen Xun.

This man, younger than her, was more mature than any man she had ever met.

He came to her side without hesitation when she was at her lowest point, giving her the best opportunity in the world.

"But----

'

Jennifer hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip: "I'm in a bad state right now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to act well."

"It's okay!"

'

Chen Xun reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face: "I will practice with you. We have three months to prepare. You can definitely do it."

He then casually added, "It doesn't matter if you mess up your performance, I have plenty of money anyway. As long as you're happy, anything is fine."

puff!

Jennifer couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This was the first time she had truly laughed in six months.

The sunlight shone on her face, as if dispelling all the gloom.

My older cousin, whose eyes always sparkle, is finally back.

Are you showing off your wealth?

'

She laughed and playfully punched Chen Xun.

Chen Xun smiled frankly: "I'm rich and can do whatever I want, so I just want to give the woman I like the best of everything."

Jennifer's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head: "Then—okay, I promise you!"

'

The Gulfstream G650 cuts through the clouds over the Pacific Ocean.

Jennifer nestled in her window seat.

The script for "Dragon Soars Across the Seas" in his hand was covered with annotations.

Sunlight streamed through the porthole and fell on her face. The emptiness and confusion she once felt had mostly dissipated, replaced by a long-lost focus.

Only occasionally, when I come across Dr. Elena's scenes with the male lead, my ears involuntarily turn red, and I secretly glance at Chen Xun sitting across from me editing emails.

"Stop peeking!"

Chen Xun didn't even look up, his fingers flying across the keyboard: "If you want to see, just look. No need to hide."

Jennifer's face flushed, and she slammed the script onto her lap: "Who was peeking at you? I was looking at the clouds outside the window."

Chen Xun smiled and looked up: "My online name is 'The Clouds Outside the Window'!"

Pooh!

Jennifer laughed so hard she almost fell over.

With the heavy weight on her heart lifted, she returned to being the cheerful and straightforward older cousin she always was.

At 8 p.m., the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

Rob was already waiting at the VIP entrance.

When Rob saw the two of them come out, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Bro, you're finally back! If you hadn't come, the CEO of Fox would have been..."

I'm going to be sleeping on the floor in your office!

The group got into the car, and Rob, sitting in the passenger seat, began to rant about the blood and tears of the past two weeks: "You have no idea, in the two weeks you were gone, I had to answer hundreds of phone calls every day. The people from Fox would come to clock in at eight o'clock sharp in the morning and not leave until six o'clock in the evening. They were more proactive than I was at work."

"Disney people are emailing me every day, wanting to talk to me about the North American distribution rights for 'Dragon Fight,' and Mr. Stephen Chow is saying he wants to add a dumpling-making scene for Chris Hemsworth, saying that it would reflect the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures."
