Global Best Actor: Starting with Picking Up Attributes in America

Chapter 461 The Great Wall Battle

The final battle of "Dragon Soars Across the Seas" will be filmed on location at the Great Wall.

When the news spread, the internet exploded.

Some say it's Badaling, some say it's Mutianyu, and others say they want to go to the wild Great Wall.

Finally, the Jinshanling Great Wall was officially announced.

The park will be closed for filming from the early morning for two days.

The first reaction of Chinese netizens was concern.

"Filming is allowed on the Great Wall? What was the approval from above?"

"What about the protection of cultural relics? What if they get damaged?"

"Would Chen Xun damage cultural relics while filming?"

As soon as the questions arose, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage issued an announcement on its official Weibo account:

The production team of "Dragon Soars Across the Seas" has been granted permission to film in a specific area of ​​the Jinshanling Great Wall. The production team has submitted complete cultural relic protection documents.

A protection plan was implemented, and cultural heritage experts supervised the entire filming process.

The announcement also included a list.

All the stuntmen wore specially made soft-soled shoes, all props had protective pads, the fighting area was covered with removable protective panels, and protective netting was strung up outside the city walls. Even the anchor points for the wire work were not allowed to hit the city bricks.

"Isn't this much better than some variety shows that are filmed running around the Forbidden City?"

"Chen Xun is indeed reliable."

"Cultural heritage experts were on-site throughout the entire process; this level of expertise is commendable."

Some people also discovered that the film crew donated five million yuan to the Great Wall Protection Foundation for the daily maintenance of that section of the Great Wall.

One netizen summarized: "I won't do things that cost me money and get me scolded, and I definitely won't do things that cost me money and get scolded. Chen Xun is spending money to buy a good reputation."

The crew arrived on set the night before filming began.

The convoy departed from Beijing, consisting of more than a dozen large trucks carrying equipment, props, costumes, and over two hundred people.

-

Jackie Chan rode in one car, Jet Li rode in another car, and Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat rode in the same car.

Chris Hemsworth got into Christine's car, but was kicked out.

"You're too noisy!"

Christine closed the door.

A group of people burst into laughter.

Chris Hemsworth stood outside the car, looking at the row of cars, unsure which one to get into.

Finally, Uncle Da called out to him, "Young man, come on, join us."

Chris Hemsworth breathed a sigh of relief and ran over to get into the car.

Stephen Chow looked at Chris Hemsworth in the back seat. The 1.9-meter-tall man was huddled in his seat with his knees against the back of the seat in front of him, looking very aggrieved.

The convoy set off at 2 a.m. and arrived at Jinshanling at 3:30 a.m.

It was still dark, but lights had already been lit at the foot of the Great Wall.

The crew members, armed with flashlights, carried equipment up the steps, creating a beam of light that stretched from the foot of the mountain all the way to the beacon tower.

At four in the morning, the mountain wind at Jinshanling was so strong it hurt your face.

Chen Xun squatted on the steps of the beacon tower, holding a flashlight in his hand, feeling the protective plates under his feet one by one.

Professor Li from the Cultural Relics Protection Institute was standing next to me, holding a small notebook and jotting down notes every now and then.

"This board is slightly warped!"

Chen Xun stomped on it with his foot, then looked up and shouted, "Someone from the props team, come here and re-nail it."

"receive!"

The staff members in the distance immediately ran over with their tools.

Professor Li pushed up his glasses, his tone full of praise: "Director Chen, this is the first time I've seen such a dedicated film crew. Yesterday I was telling the people in the institute that if all film crews were like yours, we would have so much less to worry about."

"Of course."

Chen Xun stood up and dusted off his hands: "The Great Wall has stood here for two thousand years. We can't let it be destroyed in our hands. Making a movie is temporary, but cultural relics are for a lifetime."

He pointed to the stuntmen changing their shoes not far away: "We're ready."

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

The distant hilltops were already packed with fans.

Although the film crew closed the park, many people still rushed over overnight just to catch a glimpse of the filming location from afar.

"Chen Xun!"

"Jackie Chan!"

"Stephen Chow!"

"Thor!"

The shouts drifted over on the mountain breeze.

Robert, clutching the walkie-talkie, paced anxiously: "Security! Security! Talk to those people over there! Don't climb up the mountain, it's dangerous!"

"Mr. Luo, we can't persuade him!"

The security captain's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "They said to just keep an eye on us from a distance and not get close. They even brought us water and breakfast."

Rob sighed and said nothing more. He turned to Chen Xun and said, "Ready? We can start filming."

Chen Xun nodded and picked up the megaphone: "Attention everyone! One last check of the equipment and safety measures! Actors, to your positions! The Great Wall Battle of 'Dragon Soars Across the Seas,' Scene One, First Scene, Action!"

The clapperboard slammed down with a "snap".

In an instant, the entire Great Wall turned into a battlefield.

The male protagonist, played by Chen Xun, is dressed in a black combat suit. He rushes out of the beacon tower and wrestles with the villain's henchmen.

His movements were clean and crisp, every punch and kick was powerful, and he didn't need a stunt double at all.

Jennifer Lawrence, playing Dr. Elena, wields a Tang sword and attacks from the side.

She trained with Jackie Chan for three months, and her moves were very skillful. When she swung her knife, even Jackie Chan nodded in approval.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li flanked from both sides, their Drunken Fist style clashing with Tai Chi, a dazzling display of both strength and gentleness.

The two men, whose combined age was nearly 120, fought more nimbly than young men, rarely even using wires.

"Okay! This one's approved!"

Stephen Chow, who was not yet abroad, temporarily took over Chen Xun's job, shouting in front of the monitor: "Next! Chris Hemsworth, get ready!"

Thor took a deep breath, raised his hammer, and charged out with a shout.

He had only taken two steps when his foot slipped, and he fell flat on his back with a "plop".

The hammer in his hand flew out and hit Chen Xun right at his feet.

The entire room fell silent for three seconds, then erupted in deafening laughter.

"Hahahaha! Thor, are you kidding me?!"

"Soft-soled shoes for wrestling? That's hilarious!"

"The gods of Asgard have fallen victim to a pair of soft-soled shoes!"

Chris Hemsworth lay on the ground, his face flushed red. He quickly got up, scratching his head, "Sorry, I slipped. Let's do it again, this time I definitely won't fall!"

Chen Xun picked up the hammer, handed it to him, and suppressed a laugh: "Slow down, don't hurt yourself."

"

Christine chimed in, "He wasn't smart to begin with."

Thor:

'

Secondly, as expected, Chris Hemsworth didn't fall.

As a result, he rushed too fast and punched the prop mannequin, knocking its head off.

The dummy head rolled a long way and landed right next to Stephen Chow's feet.

Chen Xun picked up the mannequin head and looked at Chris Hemsworth expressionlessly: "Chris, if you break any more props, I'll deduct 50,000 from your salary for each mannequin head."

Chris Hemsworth immediately stood at attention: "I'll definitely be gentler next time!"

By noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the temperature had risen accordingly.

Chen Xun called a halt, telling everyone to rest and eat.

The crew's boxed meals were ordered from down the mountain, including braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and hamburgers and salads specially prepared for the foreign actors.

Chen Xun, carrying a boxed lunch, sat on the steps and ate with the staff.

Professor Li sat down next to him, looked at the braised pork in his bowl, and said with a smile, "Director Chen, you're eating boxed lunches with everyone else? I thought you'd have to have special meals prepared for you."

"There aren't that many rules."

Chen Xun took a bite of rice: "We're all here to work, eat the same food, and do the same work. If I were to give people special treatment, who would want to work for me?"

Just then, Thor ran over with a hamburger, looking aggrieved: "Chen Xun, can I trade you some food? This hamburger is awful, I want to eat braised pork."

"Okay."

Chen Xun handed him his lunchbox: "But eat less, you have to film this afternoon, eating too much will make you sleepy."

"You're such a good person!"

Chris Hemsworth immediately took the lunchbox and wolfed it down: "This braised pork is so delicious! It's better than any Chinese food I've ever had in Los Angeles!"

Jackie Chan and Jet Li were sitting on the other side, also eating boxed lunches.

Jackie Chan took a bite of braised pork and remarked, "I used to always dream of making blockbusters in Hollywood, but now I realize that the best scenery is still in China."

Jet Li nodded in agreement.
