Chapter 329 A New Realm: Recorded in History (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Public opinion is spreading rapidly online.
The Disney recording studios were no exception.
Chen Xun had just finished recording a line from Nick's dialogue.
Take off your headphones.
I saw news notifications popping up on my phone screen incessantly.
Rob made more than a dozen missed calls.
He casually swiped open the news, scanned the entire content, his face remained expressionless, he simply raised an eyebrow helplessly.
This relationship was already over. Although they haven't officially broken up, they've tacitly agreed not to bother each other and are focusing on their careers.
Unexpectedly, a year later, the paparazzi dug it up again.
Just as he was about to call Robert back, he felt eyes on him.
Emma was sitting in the chair next to him.
The phone screen was still lit, indicating that the user had also seen the news that was trending across the internet.
Her expression seemed more relaxed than before, and I wondered what she was thinking.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Emma subconsciously looked away, but the tips of her ears turned slightly red. She lowered her head and stirred the already melted ice cubes in her glass, pretending to be calm as she spoke, her tone light and cheerful: "It seems—the whole world knows you're single now."
Chen Xun put down his phone, leaned back in his chair with a smile, and looked at her flushed ears, his tone teasing: "What, even an Oscar-winning actress wants to join in the fun?"
"I'm just relieved for you."
Emma looked up at him, a faint smile in her eyes: "After all, it's always a hassle to have your old relationship dug up by the paparazzi, but thankfully it didn't affect our dubbing schedule."
No sooner had he finished speaking than director Byron outside knocked on the soundproof glass and called out with a smile, "Have you two rested enough? We're about to record the most crucial reconciliation scene in the entire film!"
This scene is the emotional core of the entire film "Zootopia".
Judy's remarks at the press conference deeply hurt Nick, and the two broke up.
It wasn't until Judy discovered the truth behind the carnivore's madness and turned back to Nick that the two finally reconciled on the bridge, letting go of all their misunderstandings and defenses.
This scene lacks intense conflict and exaggerated emotional outbursts, yet it best tests the actor's emotional depth and is also the most touching scene for Nick's character.
Chen Xun and Emma exchanged a glance, then stood up simultaneously and walked towards the microphone.
The background noise from the scene came through her headphones. Emma took a deep breath and spoke first, her voice trembling with tears, filled with guilt and anxiety. She perfectly portrayed Judy's regret and helplessness: "Nick, I'm sorry—I'm so sorry. What I said hurt you, and it hurt a lot of people—"
Outside the recording studio, everyone held their breath, staring intently at the monitoring console.
Chen Xun stood in front of the microphone, closed his eyes, and gathered all the emotions for his performance.
He understood Nick's state of mind all too well.
The person I trusted most touched my deepest wound.
I've been disappointed, I've been heartbroken —
But when the other party sincerely apologizes, you can't help but waver.
When he spoke again, his voice lacked its usual languor and cunning, replaced only by barely concealed grievance: "Apologize?"
"Little rabbit, do you know how long I've waited to hear those words?"
A line from a movie.
There was no roar, yet everyone could hear the sense of fragility beneath that hard shell.
Emma was also affected by this emotion, and her voice instantly became even more tearful: "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have looked at the world with prejudice, and I shouldn't have looked at you with tinted glasses—"
"Nick, you're my best friend, I can't live without you."
Chen Xun sighed softly into the microphone.
That sigh contained helplessness, relief, and an unconcealable tenderness.
When he spoke again, the aloofness in his voice gradually dissipated, and the tone softened slightly at the end, carrying a hint of helpless indulgence. He returned to the Nick everyone knew, the one who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside: "Okay, okay, stop crying. If you keep crying, people will think that I, the fox, am bullying the rabbit."
"But let me tell you, little bunny, this is a one-time thing. If you ever doubt me again, I'll replace all your carrots with popsicles."
As the last line of dialogue fell, the recording studio fell silent instantly.
The next second, director Byron ripped off his headphones, jumped up excitedly, and shouted into the microphone, "Perfect! This is exactly what I wanted! Gentle yet powerful, the balance of reconciliation is just right!"
Just then!
Three attribute orbs, glowing softly, fell to the ground.
[Emotional depth in the character reconciliation scene +7]
[Accurate control over the progression of emotions in the voice +13]
[Emotional resonance in duet scenes +19]
"absorb!"
Chen Xun silently counted in his heart, and the unlocking progress of "Loaded into History" on the system panel steadily took another step forward.
After filming the scene, the atmosphere between the two became more relaxed and natural.
The subtle, lingering tension between them had been replaced by an inexplicable sense of closeness.
During breaks, Emma would come over and work with Chen Xun to work on the lines and intonation for the next scene.
The two of them stood very close together, their shoulders occasionally brushing against each other, but they no longer deliberately avoided each other as before.
Watching the two interact, director Byron couldn't help but laugh and joke with the production team around him: "I bet if these two really got together, our film's box office would increase by at least another huge amount."
Over the next few days, the dubbing work entered its final stages.
Chen Xun's condition is getting better and better.
His portrayal of Nick is so masterful that he can bring out a unique depth in even the simplest line.
His chemistry with Emma was unparalleled; even if he improvised a line or changed his breathing, she could catch it perfectly.
The two actors' scenes together were full of sparks.
Even director Byron couldn't help but say that their voice acting made Judy and Nick's love story even more real and touching.
The final dubbed scene in the entire film "Zootopia".
Nick and Judy became partners in the Zootopia Police Department. Sitting in the patrol car, Nick spoke into the walkie-talkie, teasing Judy with a line she used years ago: "I know you love to talk big, Carrot Head, but have you forgotten that you don't have a search warrant?"
Judy rolled her eyes but couldn't help laughing. She stepped on the gas, and the police car sped into the city's morning light.
"Action!"
Chen Xun faced the microphone, a mischievous smile playing on Nick's lips. His voice was languid and soothing, carrying just the right amount of teasing and doting, perfectly delivering that classic line.
Emma smiled and took over the lines. The two went back and forth seamlessly, like partners who had fought side by side for many years, with perfect chemistry.
As the last line of dialogue faded, director Byron, holding a megaphone, excitedly shouted the words everyone had been waiting for: "Cut! I hereby declare the voice acting for Zootopia officially wrapped!"
The entire recording studio erupted in cheers. The staff showered them with champagne and flowers, and director Byron was the first to rush over, giving Chen Xun and Emma each a tight hug: "Thank you! Thank you for giving Judy and Nick the most perfect voices!"
"This film is destined to become a Disney classic!"
Attribute orbs started falling continuously:
[Animation character's ending scene arc closed loop +18]
[Seamless switching between comedic and dramatic voices +12]
[Character detail, emotion, and voice enhancement +9]
[Atmosphere creation in two-person scenes +15]
[Full film character voice integrity +20]
"Absorb it all!"
Chen Xun stared intently at the system panel.
The last 1% is finally complete!
The progress bar is full at this moment!
hum~
Chen Xun felt a clear, melodious bell ringing in his mind, as if a long-sealed palace gate was standing before him—
The front suddenly opened up.
[Successfully unlocked a new realm: making history]
[Unlocking the Core Ability: Your performance will completely break free from the constraints of technical acting, giving the character a timeless vitality, enabling a reinterpretation of classic characters, and creating a screen image that has the potential to be permanently recorded in film history.]
An indescribable sense of clarity instantly swept over my entire body.
His previous ability to draw massive audiences allowed him to accurately capture the soul of a character, completely immersing all viewers in the story and creating a shared emotional resonance.
But the moment he was "recorded in history" placed him in a completely new dimension.
He no longer just brings a character to life, but infuses the character with his own unique soul.
Even classic characters that have been portrayed by countless actors can be given a completely new interpretation by him.
Just like now, with his eyes closed, three completely different characters flashed through his mind: Nick Fury, Star-Lord, and Gao Chun.
No longer three isolated performance templates, but completely integrated to form his own unique performance system.
Even if given a completely unfamiliar role, he can instantly grasp the core essence of the character and use his own interpretation to make the role an irreplaceable classic.
[Host has successfully unlocked the [Historical Record] realm; new system functions are now available.]
[New system feature unlocked: Global Film and Television Intelligence Network]
[Function Description: Accurately updated weekly Monday morning updates on core global film and television industry developments, covering the six major Hollywood studios...]
The entire process of the three major European film festivals and top global film projects is covered, with simultaneous updates on entertainment industry secrets and risk warnings.
Opportunities and trends, 100% accurate information.
Lines of golden text unfolded before my eyes.
Immediately afterwards, an intelligence panel appeared in front of Chen Xun.
Warner Bros.' Joker standalone film project is on the verge of being shelved.
Director Todd Phillips has completed the final version of the script and is requesting a $6000 million production budget from Warner Bros. headquarters.
Warner Bros. executives are extremely pessimistic about the R-rated Joker solo film, believing that there is no audience for a villain solo film, and that the R rating limits the box office potential. They are only willing to approve a budget of $2500 million, and the project could be canceled at any time.
There is currently no casting progress for the project, and no A-list actors within Warner Bros. are willing to take on this extremely risky role.
[The La La Land Awards Ceremony Fiasco at Summit Entertainment]
The 2017 Academy Awards ceremony will be marred by the biggest blunder in history: the Best Picture award will be mistakenly given to "La La Land" when the actual winner is "Moonlight." This blunder is expected to trigger a global media storm.
Post-production for Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" has been plagued with problems.
The rough cut of the film was unanimously rejected by Disney headquarters due to its illogical plot. Johnny Depp's performance in many scenes was subpar due to personal issues, requiring over 40% of the content to be reshot. The production budget has already exceeded the budget by $8000 million, and the original summer 2017 release date is likely to be postponed. The project faces the risk of huge losses, and Disney is urgently looking for actors to reshoot supporting roles to fill the gaps.
Johnny Depp's domestic violence scandal is about to erupt.
Amber Heard will officially file for divorce in May 2016 and simultaneously release evidence of Depp's domestic violence to the media. The scandal will completely destroy Depp's commercial value.
Disney will terminate its partnership with Johnny Depp on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and all commercial projects and brand endorsements associated with him will be terminated.
Chen Xun read through each item one by one, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
The biggest surprise was the information about the Joker project.
He had asked Robert to inquire about it before, but the situation was completely different from what was described in the intelligence.
It seems Warner Bros. is now very wary of Rob, and even his supposedly prestigious network of connections hasn't been able to reveal the true status of the Joker movie.
He holds the Joker role card in his hand, and his understanding and acting ability for the character are unmatched by any other actor in Hollywood.
Warner Bros. is not optimistic about this project right now; the budget is tight and no one dares to take it on. This is precisely the best opportunity for him.
He could have simply brought the budget with him, secured the lead role, and firmly grasped this potential Oscar-winning actor.
If he were to play this role, with the support of the character card and his "historic" acting skills, he could absolutely portray a Joker who would also achieve legendary status, directly becoming the first Chinese actor to win an Oscar for Best Actor!
Other intelligence helped him avoid one Hollywood pitfall after another.
After all, he is now a highly sought-after Chinese actor in Hollywood, with leading roles in Marvel and Disney films, as well as a Silver Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, making him a prime target for major film studios.
With this intelligence, he can shut out all these messes and refuse to get involved in any of the trouble.
There was also the Oscar mix-up involving "La La Land".
As the film's male lead, he will inevitably be standing at the Oscars ceremony.
Knowing about this shocking misunderstanding beforehand, he could have prepared a public relations plan in advance.
This will not only prevent them from putting themselves in an embarrassing situation, but will also turn this globally attention-grabbing blunder into positive buzz, further enhancing their global reputation.
"Chen? What are you thinking about? I've called you several times and you haven't responded."
Emma's voice pulled him back to reality. She walked over with two glasses of champagne, handed him one, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Filming's wrapped up. Aren't you going to celebrate with everyone?"
"Director Byron even said he wanted to have a drink with you, thank you for your perfect portrayal of Nick."
Chen Xun snapped out of his daze, took the champagne, and gently clinked the glasses together with hers, producing a crisp sound.
Looking at Emma's beaming smile, he recalled the blunder that occurred when "La La Land" was about to sweep the awards season in his previous life, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I was just thinking that we'll be very busy this awards season."
Emma paused for a moment, then laughed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "I didn't expect La La Land to be chosen as the opening film for the main competition at the Venice Film Festival. To be honest, I'm a little nervous."
"Don't be nervous!"
Chen Xun looked at her and said, "This film will make the whole world remember us."
His tone carried an undeniable confidence that made Emma pause slightly, her heart skipping a beat for no apparent reason.
Looking into Chen Xun's eyes, she felt that something about him seemed different today.
His aura was more composed, and the light in his eyes was brighter than ever before, as if he could see into the future.
