The Ellen Show aired.
On the night the show aired, #TheChenXunAllenShow# immediately climbed to the top of Twitter's trending list.
"Holy shit, Chen Xun is so funny! He's completely different from the dull and rigid image I had of Chinese actors!"
"I laughed so hard at the part where he made fun of Chris Hemsworth's drinking capacity!"
"The real Boss Han Li has such a powerful presence just by changing his clothes!"
"His English is fluent, and his reactions are incredibly quick; he caught every joke Allen threw out!"
The online response was almost unanimously positive.
Chen Xun's humor, clear logic, and composed demeanor on the show completely overturned the stereotypical impression many American viewers had of Asian faces as either dull or only good at kung fu.
On the official YouTube channel of "The Ellen Show," his interview saw a rapid surge in views, and the comments section became a massive "I was wrong" moment.
"I used to think he and Kristen weren't a good match, but now I declare myself a fan of their pairing!"
"I went from being a fan of '2 Broke Girls' to a fan of him! This guy's personal charm is even more mysterious than Han Li's feng shui!"

Rob was grinning from ear to ear at the explosive positive feedback on social media.
The phone kept ringing, full of invitations to various programs and inquiries about brand endorsements.
"Bro! Did you see the numbers? You're now one of the most sought-after new faces in America!"
Rob was excitedly shouting on the phone.
Chen Xun, on the other hand, remained calm, currently holed up at home watching the film "The Rise of the Azure Dragon," sent by director Martin, which needed further polishing.
script.
The popularity of "The Ellen Show" continues to grow.
Chen Xun's public image and public favorability skyrocketed.
Warner Bros. and DC Comics capitalized on this wave of hype by dropping a bombshell.
The official announcement states that the Green Lantern movie will be titled Green Lantern: Rise of the Azure Dragon, with Chen Xun starring as Green Lantern.
The news immediately caused an uproar.
The previous rumors about auditions were only circulating within a small circle, but this time it's official confirmation!
Supporters and onlookers cheered: "YES! I knew it! Chen Xun is awesome! The Chinese superhero has arrived!"
"The Rise of the Azure Dragon! That name alone is awesome!"
"From programmer to superhero? This premise is for me! Looking forward to Chen Xun's version of the lamp ring!"
"Warner Bros. finally did something right! This casting is brilliant!"
The voices of doubt and opposition were equally loud, even more jarring: "WTF? Isn't Green Lantern Hal Jordan? How did he become a Chinese man? Has DC gone mad?"
"Chen Xun? That sitcom actor? He can carry a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions? You must be kidding me!"
'
"Just wait and see it flop at the box office!"
"I bet he'll use the energy from the lamp ring to turn chopsticks and an abacus! (sarcastic face)"
"Why change our classic heroes to Asians? This is cultural appropriation!"

Social media instantly split into two camps, arguing fiercely.
Various sarcastic and ironic emojis have also emerged.
Some photoshopped Chen Xun's Han Li boss's image onto the Green Lantern suit, while others photoshopped a Bagua diagram onto the Green Lantern ring.
They're really into using internet memes.
Chen Xun's phone was instantly flooded with messages and missed calls.
He glanced at it briefly; there were expressions of concern and congratulations, but also some who were pessimistic.
Christine called directly via video; the background seemed to be the film set's dressing room: "Have you seen those comments online? Ignore those idiots!"
Chen Xun laughed at her pouty expression: "I didn't really look at it; it was the reaction I expected!"
"You have such a great attitude!"
Christine exclaimed admiringly, "I'd love to go lane there this morning!"
"We can't make them pay for movie tickets just because we're going to be arguing with them."
Chen Xun is very pragmatic: "The work speaks for itself!"
That's what he said, but Robert still treated it as a major crisis and urgently arranged interviews with several influential media outlets in an attempt to guide public opinion.
In a written interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the reporter posed a pointed question: "Mr. Chen, what are your thoughts on some viewers' belief that you cannot represent the classic American hero and their concerns that this will be a failed attempt at political correctness?"
Chen Xun's answer was straightforward: "I believe that heroes should not be limited by skin color or cultural background! The essence of Green Lantern is willpower, the ability to overcome fear, a quality that belongs to all humanity!"
"The character I play, Chen Xun, is an ordinary programmer who grew up in San Francisco. He is humorous, has personality flaws, and is also afraid, but ultimately chooses to shoulder the responsibility."
"This is a story about growth and courage, and it has nothing to do with whether he is Chinese or American!"
"I believe that any ordinary person who is sincere, hardworking, and has shining qualities can become a hero to others at certain moments, regardless of their race!"
Chen Xun did not directly answer the reporter's trick question.
He elaborated on the core of the character, elevating the discussion to a level of universal values and avoiding racist remarks!
When asked about the joke about turning a lamp ring into chopsticks, Chen Xun laughed: "Why not? If you need chopsticks to eat a bowl of noodles that could save the world in a critical moment, I think that's pretty cool!"
"Lamp rings are creations of imagination, and imagination should have no boundaries! And who knows, perhaps the unique understanding of willpower and energy in Eastern philosophy will allow us to come up with some new and creative ways to use lamp rings?"
"Feng shui can resonate with cosmic energy; that doesn't sound any more mystical than extraterrestrial technology, does it?"
He defused the malice with humor and also took the opportunity to promote the film's possible new settings.
The release of these interviews, combined with his previously established positive image on "The Ellen Show," had a surprisingly good effect.
Many neutral viewers began to think, "This guy is quite sharp; what he said makes some sense."
"And he's so funny, he doesn't get angry when teased, I've become a fan!"
Although there are still dissenting voices, Chen Xun's core supporters have been preserved.
At this point, Chen Xun didn't need to say anything more; a great Confucian scholar would naturally defend him!
Robert had just breathed a sigh of relief.
A piece of negative information about Chen Xun was exposed by an anonymous account claiming to be a USC alumnus, and it was quickly reprinted by some media outlets that love a good spectacle.
The headline is explosive: "The newly appointed Green Lantern is actually a dropout? Chen Xun reportedly did not complete his studies at the University of Southern California, raising questions about his academic credentials!"
The content is vivid and detailed, saying that Chen Xun studied at the USC School of Drama, but failed to graduate for unknown reasons and did not receive a degree, making him a true Hollywood dropout.
The post also made a sarcastic comment: "Can someone without even a college degree really understand and portray such a complex superhero role? Are Hollywood's standards getting lower and lower?"
As soon as this news came out, online public opinion reversed rapidly!
"Ha! I knew it! I told you it wasn't that simple! Turns out he's just an uncultured person!"
"He didn't even finish college? Then all those eloquent things he said in those interviews were just an act, right?"
"USC's School of Drama is top-notch. Getting expelled? That's a huge problem!"
"Warner Bros. must be embarrassed now, choosing a lead actor who doesn't even have a diploma!"
"Looks like you don't need a college degree to do feng shui and fortune telling (just kidding)."
