Global Best Actor: Starting with Picking Up Attributes in America

Chapter 456 Filming Resumes!

"President Chen will be out soon."

Rob straightened his tie and took a deep breath.

In the past two weeks, he has experienced a rollercoaster ride from hell to heaven, and now he stands here with his back straight.

He felt more relaxed than ever before.

Chen Xun is now his pillar of support!

His boss is back; even if the sky falls, someone will hold it up.

At 10:00 a.m. sharp, the lights in the venue went out.

All the cameras were pointed directly at the back-end entrance.

Chen Xun was wearing a simple black suit, without a tie, and the top two buttons of his shirt collar were undone.

His face was still a little pale, but his eyes were sharp and his steps were steady and powerful, each step seeming to tread on everyone's heartbeat.

The entire audience erupted in deafening applause and cheers.

Chen Xun walked to the microphone, bowed slightly, then looked up and smiled at the camera: "Hello everyone, I'm back."

One sentence caused the entire internet to explode with comments like fireworks: "Ahhh, my Chen Xun! He's finally back!"

"That aura! Who could tell he'd only been in a coma for a month!"

"His eyes are killing me! He's still the same domineering Chen Xun!"

"Disney: Is it too late for me to run now?"

"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone who cares about me for making you worry."

Chen Xun's voice was gentle yet strong: "The doctor said that my body is fine now, and I can return to work after another week of rest. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me outside the hospital, thank you to my fans all over the world, thank you to my family and friends. Without you, I might not have woken up."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on the two pale-faced observers in the corner. His tone suddenly turned cold: "Of course, I also have to thank some people."

"Thank you to those who kicked me when I was down while I was in a coma. You made me realize that there are also unspeakable shadows under the Hollywood sun."

He didn't mention any names, but everyone in the room knew who he was talking about.

The two observers in the corner had beads of cold sweat on their foreheads.

Chen Xun's tone was tinged with sarcasm: "I know you're afraid I'll break your monopoly and take Chinese films to the world stage, so your days of making money while lying down will be over."

"You can bribe the media to fabricate lies and stigmatize me with racism, but you can never buy people's hearts or cover up the truth."

"No one can take away what belongs to me, Chen Xun. If anyone dares to reach out, I'll chop off their hand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause once again.

Christine gave Chen Xun a thumbs up.

The live stream chat in China went wild: "Holy crap! No names mentioned, but the message is attacked! This is the ultimate form of insult!"

Disney and Fox: Just read out my ID number!

"So powerful! That's the aura of an Oscar-winning actor!"

"Tom Rothman is already packing his bags and getting ready to escape to Mars!"

After the applause subsided, Chen Xun changed the subject and dropped the biggest news of the day: "Filming of 'Dragon Soars Across the Seas' will not be postponed and will officially begin in a week."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Everyone thought that after so many things, "Dragon Soars Across the Seas" would be delayed by at least six months.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xun had only been awake for a week before the filming was about to begin.

"I know many people are questioning whether China Dragon now has the ability to finish making this movie."

Chen Xun looked at the reporters below the stage, his eyes resolute: "I assure everyone here that 'Dragon Soars Across the Seas'..."

Not only will filming begin on time, but it will also be better than originally planned. Our cast will only be stronger, and the box office will be even higher!

"To dispel everyone's concerns and to attract more like-minded partners, I have decided to open up the second round of financing for 'Dragon Soars Across the Seas'."

This statement immediately caused an uproar among the people in the capital circle in the audience.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xun seemed like a different person after waking up, his sharpness becoming more apparent.

Mr. Wang from China Film Group and Mr. Zhang from Alibaba suddenly looked up, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.

They originally thought that after the last investment, they had firmly grasped the discourse power of the Chinese dragon.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xun opened up financing as soon as he woke up.

They exchanged a glance, both understanding that this was Chen Xun's punishment for them.

Chen Xun looked at them and slowly revealed his plan: "In this round of financing, we will not accept purely financial investments, only strategic investments. We will offer 30% of the revenue rights of 'Dragon Soars Across the Seas' to raise $20 billion."

"We signed a performance-based agreement. If the global box office of 'Dragon Fight' is less than 200 billion RMB, China Dragon will compensate the investors for double the losses. If the box office exceeds 200 billion RMB, the investors will receive 40% of the excess."

"In addition, all capital participating in this round of financing will automatically receive priority investment rights for all films of China Dragon Pictures over the next three years, as well as the right to share China Dragon's global distribution channels."

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

This isn't fundraising, it's practically giving away money!

The current popularity of "Dragon Soars Across the Seas" is unmatched worldwide.

Let alone 200 billion, even 300 billion is possible.

A bet with double compensation is like providing double insurance for investors.

Not to mention the priority investment rights for the next three years and the right to share global distribution channels.

This is something all capital dreams of!

The CEO of Tencent Pictures immediately raised his hand: "Mr. Chen! Tencent Pictures is willing to invest $5 million!"

The general manager of Wanda Pictures quickly followed up with, "Wanda will invest $5 million!"

Enlight Media, Huayi Brothers, Bona Film Group —

All the major domestic film and television companies raised their hands, afraid that they would miss out if they were late.

Mr. Wang from China Film Group and Mr. Zhang from Alibaba immediately turned pale.

This is like using one wolf to devour another!

Chen Xun used the revenue rights of "Dragon Soars Across the Seas" as bait to attract other domestic capital.

This would not only allow them to quickly obtain $20 billion in cash, but also dilute their shareholding and thwart their attempt to gain control.

More importantly, he tied all domestic capital to his cause, forming an unbreakable alliance.

From then on, the Chinese dragon was no longer just Chen Xun's Chinese dragon, but the Chinese dragon of the entire Chinese film and television industry.

No one has any capital left that can easily shake his position.

With Chen Xun absent, China Dragon Pictures lost its leader and instantly lost its advantage.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

Chen Xun smiled and gestured with his hand: "We will select the best partners based on each company's resources and advantages. After the press conference, my team will communicate with everyone one by one."

He paused, then looked at the camera: "I know many people are waiting to see me fail. Many people think that with Chen Xun gone, the path for Chinese films to go global is over."

"Today I'm here to tell everyone that the era of Chinese cinema has only just begun."

"In the past, Hollywood brought their movies to make money from us; in the future, we will bring our movies to make money from the whole world."

"I will bring the Chinese dragon and all like-minded partners to open up every path for Chinese films to reach the world. I will let people all over the world see Chinese stories and fall in love with Chinese culture."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room stood up, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Jackie Chan clapped his hands vigorously, tears welling in his eyes.

He waited for this day his whole life.

Stephen Chow also stood up and slowly gave Chen Xun a thumbs up.

All the domestic capital representatives were so excited that their faces turned red.

They knew that a golden age for Chinese cinema was about to begin.

The two Disney observers in the corner looked ashen-faced.
