Global Best Actor: Starting with Picking Up Attributes in America

Chapter 443 The Joker and Harley Quinn

The studio for "Dragon Soars Across the Seas".

Stephen Chow sat in front of the monitor, frowning as he revised the storyboard, while Chris Hemsworth next to him was holding a stainless steel basin and wrestling with dumpling wrappers.

Half an hour ago, he confidently declared that he had learned how to make dumplings.

The result was that the filling either leaked out or turned into dough lumps.

Stephen Chow was speechless: "What you've wrapped isn't dumplings, it's a bomb."

On the other side of the training area, Jackie Chan was using a wooden stick to correct Jennifer's horse stance.

"Straighten your back! Stand firm! You're swaying like a reed in the wind; the action scenes will all be blurry!"

Jennifer gritted her teeth and endured it, sweat streaming down her face.

The entire crew is making a final push for the official start of filming in three days.

Rob suddenly walked over: "Bro, there's something important I almost forgot!"

"What is it?"

Chen Xun was confirming the final scene layout when he heard Robert's words and was taken aback.

"The Oscars!"

"You were nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor!"

Chen Xun slapped his forehead.

I almost forgot!

"When?"

"the day after tomorrow!"

Rob's voice sounded a little anxious: "What are you going to wear? Who's your date?"

Nothing was prepared.

Just as Chen Xun was about to speak, his phone rang: "Don't forget to attend the Oscars. We agreed, I'll walk the red carpet with you. I've already prepared the Harley Quinn look."

It's Christine.

He suddenly remembered.

He wasn't in a good mental state after filming "Joker," and Kristen stayed by his side every day.

The two made a pact that if "Joker" won an award, Chen Xun would dress up as the Joker, while Christine would dress up as Harley Quinn.

The two appeared together at the Oscars!

"no problem!"

Chen Xun readily agreed.

On the day of the Oscars, the red carpet outside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles was already packed with media and fans from all over the world.

Every year, the Oscars red carpet is a battleground for Hollywood's top stars, where celebrities compete to outshine each other, with haute couture gowns and jewelry flying everywhere.

This year, everyone's expectations are pinned on Chen Xun, who has yet to make his appearance.

After all, he is the first Chinese actor to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for two consecutive years, a phenomenal actor who swept the globe with "Joker," and a man who can shake up the entire Hollywood landscape.

As the red carpet stretched on, the screams from the crowd grew louder and louder, but the fans never put down the light boards they were holding up for "Chen Xun" and "Arthur Fleck".

The live stream chat in China was already flooded with comments:

-

"Holy crap! Why isn't Chen Xun out yet?! I've already taken my pants off, just waiting for him to show up!"

"I'm guessing Chen Xun will wear a haute couture suit! After all, it's the Oscars red carpet, so he definitely needs to be formal!"

"I bet five cents! He'll definitely take Jennifer with him! They're a perfect match, they'll drive everyone crazy!"

Just as the comments section was buzzing with heated debate, a black Rolls-Royce slowly came to a stop at the end of the red carpet.

The reporters on site went wild instantly, all turning their cameras towards the Dolby Theatre, and the screams of the fans instantly lifted the roof off the theatre.

The car door opened, and the first thing to land was a gleaming black leather shoe. Then, a figure bent down and stepped out.

Her green slicked-back hair was neatly combed, her pale makeup accentuated her sharp jawline, and her signature red lips curled upwards, creating a bewitching yet insane arc.

He wore the classic dark green suit from the movie "Joker," paired with a yellow vest and a red shirt. The custom-made high-end fabric accentuated his tall and slender figure, retaining both Arthur Fleck's madness and brokenness, and Chen Xun's sharp aura.

It's the clown.

The real Arthur Fleck stepped out of the big screen and onto the Oscar red carpet.

The entire stadium erupted in deafening screams.

The reporters were snapping photos so hard they were practically smoking, and the flashes were as bright as day.

Even the Hollywood stars walking on the red carpet stopped in their tracks and all turned to look.

The live stream chat in China exploded: "Holy crap! He really came dressed as the clown!"

"Who says you can't wear costumes on the Oscars red carpet! Chen Xun completely defies the rules! It's insane! I love it!"

"My youth is back! That suit from the staircase dance, my Arthur is back!"

"A Chinese actor! On the Oscars red carpet! A Joker look! This is fucking historic!!!"

"I got goosebumps!"

Before everyone could recover from the shock of the clown, the other door of the car opened.

Kristen Stewart bent down and walked out, instantly triggering an even louder wave of screams.

She wore Harley Quinn's signature red and blue pigtails, with the ends highlighted in a dazzling bright color, and her eyes were painted with upward-sweeping red—

Dark eyeliner, a cool and wild smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

She wore a custom-made high-end leather jacket and skirt, which incorporated classic Harley Quinn elements while exuding a sophisticated red carpet feel, and she was also holding her signature baseball bat.

Standing next to Chen Xun, she looked exactly like Harley Quinn straight out of Gotham City.

The Joker and Harley Quinn.

The Gotham duo stormed right onto the Oscars red carpet.

The scene went completely insane.

The fans chanted "Arthur! Harley!" so loudly that it almost caused the red carpet railings to collapse.

The reporters crowded together, shouting, "Chen Xun! Look over here! Christine! Look over here!"

The flashes never stopped.

Even the live broadcast host was so excited he was almost incoherent: "What we just saw! Chen Xun and Kristen Stewart appeared on the red carpet in their iconic looks from 'Joker' and 'Suicide Squad'! This is absolutely one of the most stunning entrances in Oscar red carpet history!"

Chen Xun turned slightly to the side, stretched out his arm towards Christine, and curled up the corner of his mouth into the Joker's signature wicked smile, just like the famous scene in the movie where Arthur reaches out his hand to Harley.

Christine smiled, took his arm, slung the baseball bat over her shoulder, raised an eyebrow at the camera, and looked incredibly cool.

The two walked side by side, the red carpet beneath their feet seeming to transform into the staircase of Gotham City, each step resonating with the heartbeats of everyone present.

As he passed by the fan area, a fan held up a sign and shouted, "Chen Xun! Do a staircase dance!" Upon hearing this, Chen Xun winked at the fan, paused for a moment, and made the classic arm-raising gesture from the staircase dance in the movie.

The screams at the scene reached their peak.

Christine was laughing uncontrollably beside him, and whispered in his ear, "Take it easy, don't jump up on the red carpet, or the judges will think you're crazy and won't give you the Oscar."

Chen Xun lowered his head and chuckled, his voice low: "What's there to be afraid of? We're from Gotham, why would we care about this?"

The interaction between the two was captured clearly on camera, and the live stream chat in China was so flooded with comments that the screen was almost obscured: "This isn't the Oscars red carpet, it's Gotham City's annual gala! Even Batman would avoid it!"

"Chen Xun is so daring!"

"This look will dominate global fashion headlines tomorrow!"

The Hollywood stars on both sides of the red carpet were also stunned by this move.

Spielberg stood in the guest area, watching the two walk over, then clapped with a smile and said to the people around him, "I knew it, this kid always manages to surprise you."

Leonardo raised his glass to Chen Xun, his eyes full of approval, while Joaquin Phoenix gave him a thumbs up.

The two walked along, waving and interacting with the camera the whole time.

What should have been a three-minute walk on the red carpet took a full fifteen minutes.

The reporters wouldn't let them leave at all, their hands aching from pressing the shutter button so many times.

Reaching the autograph wall at the end of the red carpet, Chen Xun picked up a marker and wrote his name on the wall, drawing a clown's signature smiley face next to it. Christine also signed her name, drawing a small heart next to the smiley face.

After signing their names, the two waved one last time at the camera, then turned and walked into the Dolby Theatre.

The theater was brightly lit.

The Oscar statuette gleamed in the center of the stage.
