Global Best Actor: Starting with Picking Up Attributes in America

Chapter 441 Another incident occurred.

"You've met all of Stephen Chow's requests. How's it going with Chris Hemsworth?"

Chen Xun rubbed his temples.

"Thor has gone mad!"

Rob looked utterly dejected: "Now I sleep with a Chinese dictionary with me every day, and I greet everyone I meet with 'Hello, I'm Chris, I can make dumplings.' Yesterday I was video chatting with Vin Diesel and insisted on teaching him Chinese tongue twisters, which left Vin Diesel questioning his existence."

Everyone on the bus burst into laughter.

The car drove to the villa area of ​​Beverly Hills, and Chen Xun took Jennifer to her villa in Beverly Hills.

The next morning, at the headquarters of Xunxing Entertainment.

The core team was already in place in the top-floor conference room.

Rob distributed the final version of the script and cleared his throat: "Everyone, the final version of the script for 'Dragon Soars Across the Seas' has been confirmed. Filming will officially begin next Monday."

A round of applause erupted in the conference room.

Chen Xun opened the script and pointed to a few pages: "I've discussed Dr. Elena's action scenes with the martial arts director. We'll add some close-quarters combat scenes to highlight Jennifer's strengths. Also, for Stephen Chow's scene, we'll add a dumpling-making scene as he requested. The props team will prepare the flour and filling in advance, and make extra portions, because I'm afraid Chris Hemsworth will blow up the kitchen."

"receive!"

Robert immediately wrote it down in his notebook.

"besides----"

Chen Xun paused for a moment: "Jackie Chan has confirmed that he and his stunt team will join the crew a week early to teach Jennifer the basics of kung fu. Jet Li's scenes will be concentrated in the later part of the film."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Only Chen Xun has such great influence that he can bring all these immortals together.

Chen Xun also found it quite amazing.

He didn't actually have much contact with Jet Li and Andy Lau, and he only had contact with Stephen Chow through Uncle Da. But when he proposed to make a movie, everyone said they would participate, and they didn't even discuss the salary.

Perhaps this is related to the charity work he has been doing in recent years.

Or perhaps it's related to his status in Hollywood and among his domestic fans.

Chen Xun didn't want to think about it.

He just wants to focus all his energy on movies.

Halfway through the script meeting, the assistant knocked on the door and came in looking troubled: "Mr. Chen, the president's assistant from Fox is here again. He says he has something urgent to discuss with you."

Rob rolled his eyes. "Why is he here again? Didn't I just tell him yesterday that post-production for *Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw* is proceeding as planned?"

"Let him in!"

Chen Xun put down his pen.

Soon, the president's assistant rushed in, a fawning smile plastered on his face: "President Chen, long time no see, congratulations on the [unclear text]..."

"Dragon Soars Across the Seas" is a huge hit!

"Let's get down to business!"

Chen Xun didn't beat around the bush with him.

The president's assistant rubbed his hands together, looking anxious: "It's like this, post-production for 'Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw' is 80% complete."

"Yes, our board of directors discussed it and decided to move the release date forward to June 15th, to catch the first wave of the summer blockbuster season. The entire Hollywood is watching this movie closely; as soon as it's released, Fox's stock price will definitely double!"

"No!"

Chen Xun refused without hesitation: "Post-production isn't finished yet, and there are still many areas where the special effects need polishing. Releasing the film ahead of schedule will only ruin it."

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush!"

Upon hearing Chen Xun's refusal, the president's assistant quickly explained, "We can have our post-production team work overtime, around the clock, to ensure quality, Mr. Chen. This is Fox's best chance to turn things around. We've missed too many opportunities already; we can't afford to miss this one!"

Although Chen Xun was only the lead actor in the film, when the contract was signed, Robert insisted on giving Chen Xun decision-making power, precisely because he was worried that this situation might occur.

Chen Xun didn't want to suffer a career setback at this crucial stage.

"Quality is more important than release date!"

Chen Xun's tone left no room for argument: "I don't care what your board of directors thinks. I starred in this movie. If there are problems with the box office, I will never work with Fox again."

The president's assistant's face turned pale instantly!

He knew Chen Xun's character of keeping his word all too well.

Fox is currently relying entirely on the upcoming movies starring Chen Xun. If Chen Xun refuses to act in them, Fox will immediately go bankrupt.

"Mr. Chen, let's talk this out. We'll still release the film at the original time. We'll do as you say!"

The president's assistant was second only to the president at Fox, but he was unexpectedly so humble in front of Chen Xun.

Rob was trying not to laugh.

He knew all along that Chen Xun wouldn't agree.

As a result, Fox wouldn't give up until he hit a brick wall with Chen Xun.

Chen Xun has always been very serious about film-related matters.

Sacrificing the quality of the film? No way would I agree to that!

After the president's assistant left, Rob couldn't help but complain, "These capitalists are really greedy for money. They don't care about quality at all just to make money."

"That's normal, they've been terrified of poverty!"

Chen Xun understood their situation, but he would never back down: "Tell the post-production team not to rush the schedule, take your time, and do it to the best of your ability."

"receive!"

Chen Xun finished his work at 10 p.m.

He walked out of the company building and found Jennifer's car still parked downstairs.

Why haven't you gone back yet?

Chen Xun opened the car door and got in.

"I'll be waiting for you!"

Jennifer waved the takeout bag in her hand: "I bought a burger and fries, let's grab some late-night snacks together."

Chen Xun felt a warmth in his heart: "Okay."

The two drove back to the villa area and sat in Jennifer's living room for a late-night snack.

"How will the script be today?"

Jennifer took a bite of her hamburger.

"It went very smoothly."

Chen Xun said, "Jackie Chan will be coming to teach you kung fu next week. Be prepared, he's known for being very strict."

"I'm not afraid, I can't wait to start filming."

Jennifer looked radiant.

Seeing her rejuvenated appearance, Chen Xun couldn't help but smile: "This is the Jennifer Lawrence I know."

After finishing their late-night snack, Chen Xun helped her go over her lines for a while.

When the scene where Dr. Elena and the male lead confess their love in the lab was read, the two were very close, and Chen Xun's breath fell on Jennifer's face. Her heart raced instantly, and she even mispronounced her lines.

"I'm sorry, I—"

Jennifer lowered her head in a panic.

Chen Xun looked at her reddened earlobes, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

He reached out and gently lifted her chin.

Their eyes met, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Chen Xun's phone suddenly rang.

The two were startled and quickly separated.

Chen Xun took out his phone; it was Robert calling.

"Boss! Something's happened! Paparazzi have photographed you and Jennifer going back to your villa together! Now the whole internet is saying that Jennifer got the lead role in 'Dragon Fight' through underhanded means!"

Chen Xun's expression instantly turned cold.

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Jennifer and noticed that she looked a little pale.

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

Chen Xun took her hand.
