Global Best Actor: Starting with Picking Up Attributes in America

Chapter 66 Wrap-up Party? Of course I'm going!

"I heard you just finished filming Marvel's 'Thor'?"

Robert spoke, his voice deeper than in the movie, with a standard British accent.

"Just wrapped filming!"

Chen Xun nodded.

"Wow, that's cool. At least we don't have to stare at thin air in front of a green screen every day or be suspended by wires in all sorts of gravity-defying poses!"

Robert shrugged, his tone laced with self-deprecating humor, a stark contrast to his melancholic and sentimental on-screen persona.

Christine chimed in from the side:

"Come on, Robert, you were pinned to a tree by Bella yesterday and couldn't fight back at all!"

Robert immediately made an exaggerated expression of suffocation:

"Don't even mention it, that tree is probably a better actor than me! Seriously, Chen, sometimes I feel like a cologne bottle that can recite lines."

These words amused Chen Xun.

He discovered that Robert wasn't as Edward in private as he seemed; in fact, he had a dry sense of humor.

This somewhat aligns with what he knew before, that Robert didn't want to rely solely on his handsome face and wanted to become an acting talent like Jack Nicholson.

This guy was supposed to have a relationship with Christine!

As a result, I beat them to it!

"If you were a Cologne Aquarius, your Cologne would definitely sell like hotcakes!"

Chen Xun made a joke.

Robert paused for a moment, then laughed, and his favorability rating quietly rose to [45].

Chen Xun discovered that favorability increases faster when it is relatively low, and also fluctuates greatly.

The higher the favorability rating, the slower it increases!

"I like this guy!"

He said to Christine.

The executive director came over and called Robert to prepare for filming.

Robert nodded to Chen Xun:

"We'll talk later. I hope you won't be jealous when you see me and Christine forever!"

He made another joke.

Watching him leave, Chen Xun said to Christine, "He's not quite what I imagined!"

"He's always been a bit of a closet pervert; he's got a lot on his mind!"

Christine lowered her voice:

"Sometimes I felt he was almost depressed from playing Edward so well, thankfully filming is almost finished!"

Chen Xun was placed in a position next to the monitor to watch.

This scene is exactly the part where Bella, after becoming a vampire, is testing her new abilities with Edward in the forest.

Robert and Christine needed to project that vampire-like speed and power, as well as an enduring, unwavering love.

"Action!"

Robert instantly got into the zone.

His eyes became deep.

When he recited those lines, "forever and ever" and "you are my only one," his voice was full of emotion.

Although the content was a bit cheesy, his conviction was very strong.

Just as he gazed lovingly at Christine and uttered, "You are my life now," a blue attribute orb fell to the ground.

[Extreme Affection +3]

Chen Xun's eyes lit up, and he immediately absorbed it.

A series of techniques on how to maintain a high level of emotional engagement and conviction even with an exaggerated plot came to mind.

This thing might be useful for filming adult scenes in the future!

Next, they filmed a scene where Edward demonstrates his speed. Robert needed to perform a rapid sprint in front of a green screen and then stop.

When he stopped and turned around, his gaze shifted cleanly and decisively, instantly switching from a vampire to deep affection for Bella.

Another green attribute orb [Eye Expression Switching +2] has dropped.

absorb!

Chen Xun watched with great interest.

Although he had seen the full movie of "Twilight" in his previous life, sitting on the set and watching the actors perform like this was a completely different experience!

During a break.

Robert walked back, a little sweat on his forehead.

He picked up his water bottle, took a sip, and looked at Chen Xun: "How was it? So embarrassing you could dig Asgard out with your toes?"

"Not bad, they have a strong sense of conviction!"

Chen Xun spoke frankly: "Especially the way he switched his eyes was very well done."

Robert looked at him with some surprise: "You're quite observant. Sometimes I feel like I'm some kind of idiot with twitching eyes."

"It's more interesting than faking a fight with the Frost Giants," Chen Xun chuckled.

"I'd rather fight the Frost Giant; at least I wouldn't have to wear such thick foundation!"

Robert touched his smooth cheek and sighed.

Just then, Christine, having finished touching up her makeup, came over and, overhearing their conversation, interjected:

"At least you won't have to go through what I did, having a baby like it was like a scene from an Alien movie where the baby bursts out of your chest!"

She was referring to the scene where Bella gives birth.

The three of them shared their bizarre filming experiences on their respective sets, which lightened the atmosphere considerably.

Robert's favorability rating has also steadily increased to [55].

After wandering around the film set for two days, Chen Xun felt like he was being marinated in the pervasive romantic and tragic atmosphere.

The film crew has finally reached the day when filming officially wrapped up.

When filming wrapped, there was none of the wild cheers I had imagined on set.

After all, this series has been filmed for so many years and carries so much weight; it's finally coming to an end.

The staff hugged each other, while the actors had different expressions, some relieved, some reluctant to part.

Christine removed Bella's makeup and hair, changed into her own jeans and T-shirt, and found Chen Xun watching the staff dismantle the set:

"There's a wrap party tonight in the hotel banquet hall. Are you coming?"

Without a second thought, Chen Xun replied, "Of course I'll go!"

The image of the splendid feast of attribute balls at the wrap party for "Snow White and the Huntsman" flashed through his mind instantly.

Purple exudes star power, while gold radiates legendary approachability!

For him, such occasions with a large number of high-end film crews are like a carnival for picking up attribute balls.

Missing out would be a crime!

Christine was a little surprised that he agreed so readily:

"Wow, so enthusiastic!"

"Let's celebrate for you!"

Chen Xun made up a reason without changing his expression, but what he was thinking was: "At the same time, it's for my attribute panel!"

The hotel banquet hall was decorated for a farewell party that evening, with dim lighting and soothing music.

Compared to the more masculine and rugged atmosphere of the Thor movie set, this place is noticeably more refined.

Chen Xun entered the venue with Christine as usual, instantly attracting a lot of attention.

He's a familiar face now, and given his status as Christine's boyfriend, he's practically known by everyone in the industry.

My eyes scanned the entire room immediately.

The first choice, of course, was the male lead, Robert Pattinson.

He wasn't wearing the suit from the movie today; instead, he wore a velvet jacket, his hair still impeccably styled, and he was holding a glass of wine, talking to director Bill Condon.

As he slightly tilted his head, revealing a complex smile tinged with melancholy and relief, a blue attribute orb fell out:

[Complex Emotions +3]

absorb!

Chen Xun felt that he had a deeper understanding of that elegant emotional level.

Then he saw Taylor Lautner, who played the werewolf Jacob.

This guy is muscular, has a sunny smile, and is chatting and laughing with a few friends, making very large movements.

As he made a funny gesture showing off his biceps, a green attribute ball fell down:

[Sunny and energetic body language +2]

This healthy sense of vitality was precisely what Chen Xun lacked, and he readily accepted it.

His gaze then turned to members of other vampire families.

Michael Sheen, who plays Caius, is speaking in a low, magnetic voice, and a blue [Deep, Magnetic Voice Control +3] is dropped.

Dakota Fanning, who plays Jane, sat quietly in the corner with a blank stare, but she dropped a rare purple attribute ball [Ethereal Eyes +5]!

Chen Xun was overjoyed.

Absorb it immediately!

He felt that he had gained more experience in controlling his gaze.

Chen Xun even picked up a green [Dramatic Aura +2] from a casting director who just stood there and seemed very dramatic.
