Chapter 319 Two Heroes in One Frame
"You managed to kill Abilisque, so you can barely consider your mission accomplished."
"But you destroyed three of our energy towers in the battle, soiled the sacred square in front of the palace, and even splattered the blood of inferior beings on the land of Sovereign."
She tilted her head slightly, glancing at Star-Lord out of the corner of her eye, her disdain deepening: "But it's no wonder. You creatures from inferior planets are born without any understanding of order and perfection. Just surviving and completing the mission is already your limit."
Upon hearing this, Drax immediately tried to rush forward, but Star-Lord grabbed him.
Star-Lord, played by Chen Xun, raised an eyebrow and shrugged nonchalantly: "Hey, High Priest, we helped you take down that monster that devoured countless fleets of yours. Instead of saying thank you, you're being picky?"
"Is this how you Sovereigns treat your saviors?"
"My savior?"
Ayesha chuckled softly, her laughter devoid of any warmth: "We employ you only because we, the perfect Sovereigns, disdain such barbaric slaughter."
"You are nothing more than tools we paid to do. Tools do what they are supposed to do, and they don't deserve thanks, only their due pay."
She raised her hand.
The guard behind him came up carrying a box containing cosmic currency.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, even the spacing between their steps was exactly the same.
Just then!
Rocket Raccoon, at the back of the line, suddenly spoke up.
Off-camera, Sean makes exaggerated gestures, while Bradley's voiceover reverberates throughout the hall, carrying his signature sarcasm and arrogance: "Come on, you pretty puppets in golden shells. You've spent centuries perfecting your genes, and you can't even fight a monster? What's the point of living?"
"Genetically perfect, yet utterly boring!"
Upon hearing this, the guards of Sovelin in the hall instantly changed their expressions, and their hands all went to the weapons at their waists.
Ayesha's hands, resting on the armrest, tightened slightly.
She lowered her eyes, looking in the direction from which the sound came, her gaze falling on the rocket, which was only half a person's height, and a chill almost overflowed from her.
But he didn't say anything more.
It seems that talking to these races, whom she considers inferior, is a disgusting thing.
The group turned around.
"These perfect guys didn't even notice their energy cells were stolen!"
Bradley's voice acting is full of sarcasm.
With that one sentence, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Ayesha sat bolt upright, her previously calm eyes suddenly blazing with fury.
She suddenly stood up from the throne.
Wearing a 20-kilogram metallic dress, she stood up steadily without swaying at all, her spine still straight, as she walked down the suspended steps one by one.
"Sovelin's fleet, listen to my command!"
The moment those words were spoken, Gunn, watching from the monitor, clenched his fists, his eyes widened, and he held his breath.
That's exactly the feeling he wanted!
Xin Zhilei perfectly captured the essence of this role.
She whirled around, pointed outside the hall, and her voice, now brimming with undisguised killing intent, echoed throughout the golden palace: "I order you to hunt down the Guardians of the Galaxy! I will let the entire universe know the price to pay for blaspheming the perfection of Sovereignty!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Sovelin guards in the hall all knelt down on one knee in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized and without the slightest deviation.
The virtual palace on the LED screen switched instantly, and countless Sovereign warships sailed out of the energy tower. An overwhelming sense of oppression rushed through the screen, and the immersive experience of the entire scene was brought to the extreme.
"Cut!"
Gunn suddenly shouted "Stop!" and jumped up excitedly from his chair, leading the applause.
The entire studio erupted in applause, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Xin Zhilei, filled with amazement and recognition.
Xin Zhilei, who was just exuding a powerful aura, instantly detached herself from her character.
His shoulders slumped suddenly, and sweat from his forehead slid down his cheeks, leaving a thin trail of gold paint.
She let out a long sigh of relief, her calves trembling slightly.
Wearing a 20-kilogram dress, maintaining a straight spine throughout, and having to unleash extreme emotions requires an unimaginable amount of physical exertion.
The outdoor temperature in Atlanta has reached 35°C.
Although the studio was air-conditioned, the airtight metallic dress and the gold paint covering her entire body made her feel like she was in an airtight steamer.
After filming a scene, she was completely soaked in sweat, and her clothes clung tightly to her body, making her feel stuffy and hot.
"Xin! You're absolutely amazing!"
Gunn rushed over, grabbed her hand and shook it vigorously, his eyes full of admiration: "You brought Ayesha to life! That arrogance is exactly what I wanted! Even better than I imagined!"
Xin Zhilei smiled and thanked him, her gaze unconsciously drifting to Chen Xun beside her.
Chen Xun walked over with a bottle of warm water and handed it to her, his eyes full of satisfaction: "You acted very well. Your emotions, body language, and lines were all perfectly on point."
He had already noticed that she was soaking wet, and then waved to his assistant next to him, asking her to bring over some ice packs to cool her down.
"Thank you, teacher. Without your previous guidance, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this effect."
Xin Zhilei took the water glass, thanked him softly, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
The sharp aura she exuded when she first got into character vanished, and she reverted to being that humble and earnest young girl.
Guo Fan, standing nearby with the special effects team, squatted by the monitor, watching the footage they had just shot. He kept muttering, "My god, the effect of this LED virtual shooting is amazing! Real-time background rendering, the actors don't have to act in front of a green screen, the immersion is off the charts!"
The exterior of Pinewood Studios in Atlanta at this time.
-
Many fans crowded together, craning their necks to look inside the wall.
Among these fans are die-hard Marvel fans from Atlanta.
Many fans traveled from New York and Los Angeles across state lines, and even some flew in from China, South Korea, and Japan, holding up support signs written in Chinese, which stood out in the crowd.
Chen Xun was the first to be frequently photographed.
He is down-to-earth and never lets his bodyguards block his fans.
Even after filming for more than ten hours and looking exhausted when they finished work, they would still roll down their car windows and wave to the fans waiting by the roadside.
When fans offer them notebooks and pens, he asks the driver to stop so he can patiently sign autographs for them. He also chats with them occasionally, asking how long they've been waiting and reminding them to take precautions against the heat.
Although it was not yet the height of summer.
But the temperature has already risen.
It's usually in the 30s.
Fans spotted him and Zoe, who plays Gamora, walking out of the studio together. The two were walking side by side, each holding a script, talking about something as they walked, and occasionally exchanging smiles. The scene was exceptionally harmonious.
The photo was posted on Twitter.

The topic instantly became a trending topic, and fans of the couple went wild, flooding the screen with comments like, "Oh my god! Will the unresolved feelings from the first season finally be resolved in the second season?!"
"The chemistry between Chen Xun and Zoe is amazing! They're such a perfect match both on and off screen!"
"Judging from the way they discussed the script, you can tell there will definitely be lots of sweet moments between them in the second season!"
Following closely behind was a Reuters photo of Jackie Chan.
Whenever Jackie Chan appears at the entrance of the film studio, the cheers from the crowd are enough to lift the roof off.
After all, it's a kung fu legend that has been popular around the world for over forty years. Even casual viewers who don't watch superhero movies would recognize this familiar face.
Whenever he is surrounded by fans, Jackie Chan never gets impatient. He will even show off a couple of quick kung fu moves in front of the camera, eliciting screams from the crowd.
When he encounters Chinese fans, he immediately switches to Chinese, greets them with a smile, asks where they are from, and reminds them to be careful.
He's as approachable as a neighbor or elder.
Overseas fans posted a video of Jackie Chan and Chen Xun together online.
In the video, Jackie Chan pats Chen Xun on the shoulder and says something. Chen Xun smiles and nods. The two walk arm in arm toward the van, exuding a strong sense of master-disciple camaraderie.
-
This video garnered tens of millions of views in just one day.
Netizens commented: "Two heroes on screen together! I could watch this father-son duo for a hundred episodes!"
"This is absolutely phenomenal for the Chinese film industry!"
What surprised netizens the most was the leaked photos of Xin Zhilei.
Initially, when fans photographed this Asian face dressed in casual clothes and quietly entering and leaving the film set, most assumed he was either a crew member or a guest visiting the set.
Once Marvel officially announced that she would play Ayesha, and someone took photos of her entering and leaving the set, the scene instantly changed.
More and more fans are waiting at the door, just to catch a glimpse of the Sovereign high priest.
When she was first surrounded, Xin Zhilei was a little flustered. When fans handed her autographed books, she would blush and say thank you nervously, and her hands would tremble slightly when she signed them.
Later, with Chen Xun's reminder, she gradually relaxed.
She greets fans with a smile, says hello to overseas fans in English, and chats with Chinese fans in Chinese when she meets them. Her gentle and humble personality has won her a large following.
-
Her leaked photos, whether posted on Twitter or Weibo, are instantly and wildly shared.
On Weibo, the hashtag #XinZhileiMarvelAyesha# frequently trends on social media.
Her Weibo followers skyrocketed from tens of thousands before filming began to over a million in just one month.
Countless fans check in on her fan page every day, eagerly anticipating her performance in the movie.
Netizens have uncovered the submission information for "Crosscurrent" and its eligibility for the main competition at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Even the release date has been revealed.
There's still a little over a month until its release.
As soon as the news broke, netizens began to look forward to it.
"My goodness! So Xin Zhilei and Chen Xun had already worked together before! And as the male and female leads! No wonder Chen Xun recommended her to Marvel!"
"Crosscurrent has been selected for the main competition at the Berlin International Film Festival? The entire film passed censorship without any cuts, that's amazing! I definitely have to go to the cinema to support it!"
"I initially watched Xin Zhilei because of her Marvel fandom, but now I'm even more excited for her and Chen Xun's 'Crosscurrent'! The chemistry between the leads in an art-house film is bound to be amazing!"
"I have to go see it when it's released! First, I want to see Chen Xun and Xin Zhilei's romance on the Yangtze River, then I want to see them bickering in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The experience will be amazing!"
