Chapter 86 DC?
The second half of the screening was even more popular!
Chen Xun noticed that when the video played a complex monologue by Professor Anderson, a light green attribute ball fell from his body:
[Emotional impact of the dialogue +2]
He absorbed it immediately!
[Dialogue experience +2, Current experience: Lv2 (396/400)]
It's almost time to upgrade!
Ultimately, the performance that received the highest audience rating was Chen Xun's most outstanding cameo role in "The Insomnia Deliveryman".
When the score settled at 9.1, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Just as the applause reached its climax, Chen Xun saw a large number of gray attribute orbs surge from the excited students and satisfied professors:
[Audience Resonance +1]
[Performance Approval +1]
[Character Development +1]
……
There were also a few light green ones mixed in:
[Emotional Transmission +2]
[Pace control +2]
……
These attribute orbs, like rivers flowing into the sea, all merged into his body.
[Dialogue experience +3, Current experience: Lv2 (399/400)]
Just a little bit more!
Chen Xun looked around to check if any attribute orbs had been missed and not absorbed!
Li Zhe, who was sitting not far away, sighed softly.
He originally wanted to leverage Chen Xun's popularity to win an award for the short film he starred in with Chen Xun, thereby gaining some honors from the school.
It's a pity I didn't win an award!
In that case, he won't be able to get a place in a graduate program!
He stared intently at Professor Anderson, his eyes filled with longing!
The School of Film Arts only has one spot left for Professor Anderson to be recommended for graduate studies!
The screening has ended.
Chen Xun was surrounded by enthusiastic students who asked for autographs and photos.
A boy wearing thick glasses excitedly grasped his hand:
"Senior Chen, your monologue in the convenience store was absolutely brilliant! The rhythm of every word was perfect!"
The instant the boy finished speaking, a bright blue attribute ball fell from his body:
[Insight into the dialogue +3]
Chen Xun decisively absorbed it.
[Dialogue attribute upgraded! Current level: Lv3 (2/600)]
A cool sensation instantly ran through his throat and brain.
He felt that his control over his voice had become more refined, and his understanding of the emotions behind the lines had deepened.
If Level 2 dialogue is about "being able to speak", then Level 3 dialogue is about starting to touch the realm of "speaking well".
Professor Anderson stood not far away, watching Chen Xun surrounded by flashing lights and young faces, and nodded with satisfaction.
Lee So-yeon was unable to catch up because the professor called her back to assign her homework!
Leaving USC.
Chen Xun walked briskly.
His breakthrough in delivering the lines filled him with confidence for the future.
He took out his phone and saw that Lee So-yeon was posting about it like crazy on social media:
"Awesome! A historic night! Thank you Chen Xun oppa! We got the highest score! Fighting!"
Chen Xun gave her a thumbs up.
……
The popularity of "2 Broke Girls" is growing.
Chen Xun would occasionally come across funny videos of people imitating him playing with coins, only to end up flicking the coins into the sewer.
That afternoon, he had just finished exercising with Christine when Rob called.
Chen Xun answered the phone.
Robert's voice on the other end of the phone was full of excitement:
"Chen, I have some incredible news! A truly amazing deal!"
Chen Xun asked curiously, "What is it?"
"DC's Green Lantern project is rebooted! New director, new casting! They want you to audition!"
"Not a supporting character, but the lead actor Hal Jordan, the real Green Lantern!"
Chen Xun suddenly sat up.
Green Lantern?
The male lead?
Without any preparation, a DC opening protagonist just appeared on his life!
This is a DC Universe superhero!
A truly top-tier IP!
Although Chen Xun wasn't a huge fan of Marvel and DC in his previous life, he had watched quite a few superhero movies!
Superheroes!
It has a fatal attraction for any actor!
Are you sure?
Chen Xun took a deep breath and confirmed with Robert.
"Absolutely certain!"
Rob was so excited he was almost incoherent: "The producer contacted me directly!"
"They saw your performance in 'Thor,' but more importantly, '2 Broke Girls' showed them your comedic talent and audience appeal!"
"They felt you could bring something different to Green Lantern, instead of creating that stereotypical, brooding hero!"
"If your audition performance is satisfactory, the chances are very high!"
Robert continued to excitedly share his surprise with Chen Xun.
Just then!
Chen Xun suddenly remembered something!
A memory related to the movie "Green Lantern"!
In its previous life, Green Lantern was all hype and little substance!
The investment was substantial, but the box office performance was dismal!
The film's reputation plummeted!
The famous Waterloo in superhero movies!
It even became a dark chapter in Ryan Reynolds's life that he himself was unwilling to mention for many years!
His reputation only improved after he played Deadpool!
The dismal performance of Green Lantern severely hampered the start of the DC Extended Universe.
The script is terrible!
The villain is an idiot!
The special effects are awkward!
They made the cool concept of space police look like a cheap cartoon!
These were common evaluations he had seen in his previous life.
Should we go or not?
Chen Xun was torn!
He ruined several years of his career for a single role!
Suddenly, Chen Xun had a flash of inspiration!
He's not Ryan Reynolds!
His mind is now filled with all sorts of comments about Green Lantern from his past life!
Among them were many suggestions for changes to Green Lantern!
As long as he can become the male lead and have a certain say, he can at least offer suggestions for modification within a certain scope.
As for character development, he could try to give Hal Jordan more depth, rather than just a cool guy!
This project has been shelved many times, and this restart means starting from scratch, with a lot of room for change!
A rare opportunity!
Chen Xun quickly made a judgment!
The risks are enormous, but the opportunities are equally enormous!
If he could turn the tide of this work by relying on his understanding of his past failures, combined with his own interpretation and performance!
He will then become the first Chinese person to carry the banner of DC superheroes!
The prestige and industry standing this brings are unmatched by sitcoms!
"Chen? Are you listening?"
Rob called out anxiously on the other end of the phone!
"I'm listening, Rob."
"This is big news, but I need to know some details!"
Chen Xun's tone returned to calm, without the excitement that Robert had imagined!
Rob was taken aback; he hadn't expected Chen Xun to be so calm. "Details? What details?"
"Bro, this is Green Lantern! A massive DC project, what more details do you need to know? Just go for it!"
Rob is now completely blinded by passion!
Who would have thought that a newly-turned-agent could bring out a superhero in less than a year!
If Chen Xun succeeds in the audition, Robert will become one of the most sought-after agents in the industry!
"Precisely because it's a top-tier project, we can't rush into it blindly!"
Chen Xun sat up and carefully helped Christine lie down next to him. She put on a coat and went to the study.
"Aren't there plenty of big-budget productions flopping these days?"
Rob gradually began to calm down!
He paused on the other end of the phone: "What do you mean?"
"If the script is still one of those predictable, clichéd pieces where the audience can guess what the next line will be!"
"If Hal Jordan is just a paper doll who only knows how to pose in a tight-fitting suit, then we need to think carefully about the risk!"
Chen Xun took a sip of water and spoke softly:
"Rob, you don't want us to become the unfortunate ones nailed to the pillory of superhero shame, do you?"
Rob gasped.
"Holy shit, Chen, what you said sends chills down my spine! But what you're saying is fucking true!"
"Those studio executives sometimes really do seem to have had their brains slammed in a door!"
