I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 549 Marvel's First Appearance!
"Okay, then the start date for John Wick 2 is set for February."

Chen Jin was on the phone with Paula, and their conversation revolved around the follow-up work on the film.

Next, besides filming "Avengers: Age of Ultron", "Dallas Buyers Club" will be screened at the San Daniele Film Festival.

After finishing these tasks, I'll have some free time to go back to China for a family reunion during the Lunar New Year.

Zhu Yanmanz sat beside Chen Jin, and her smile gradually brightened as she listened to the contents of the phone call.

She certainly knew the significance of that phone call.

Just then, Chen Jin hung up the phone.

"Finally, I can go home for Chinese New Year this year!"

Chen Jin stroked Zhu Yanmanz's long hair, her eyes full of smiles.

After the casting process was completed, Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanzi finally had a few days to rest.

The news of Paul Walker's death gradually faded from public view.

But his former comrades-in-arms still cannot accept this reality.

Chen Jin was one of them.

Even though he didn't spend as much time with Paul Walker as he did with Vin Diesel and others, the two still developed a deep friendship.

Ultimately, it's a case of heaven being jealous of talent.

Filming for Avengers: Age of Ultron has already begun, and Chen Jin's role is small, so she doesn't need to stay on set.

Most of the time, I stayed in the hotel reading scripts.

In this drama, Chen Jin's scenes mainly focus on her relationship with her sister, Scarlet Witch.

The beginning of the story.

Their parents were killed by weapons manufactured by Stark Industries, which led the siblings to harbor a deep hatred for Tony Stark and the Avengers.

And for this reason, he was recruited by Hydra and underwent experiments.

only.

As the two got to know each other better, they also realized Ultron's true intentions.

He eventually joined the Avengers.

As for Quicksilver's highlight moment, it is also his last scene in the entire film.

To protect Hawkeye and a civilian boy, he willingly took the bullet with his own body.

Ultimately, he sacrificed himself.

For Chen Jin, the emotional weight of this character's sacrifice is extraordinary.

He transformed from a vengeful figure driven by hatred into a hero who transcended his own limitations and accomplished a greater good.

This is an awakening of the soul, a willingness to protect others with one's own life.

Chen Jin was quite interested in this.

After the casting process ended, Paula and Chen Jin headed to a hotel near Shebdon Studios in London.

A large amount of green screen and interior shooting will take place here.

Sherburton Studios.

It can be said to have witnessed the rise of countless Hollywood blockbusters.

Aside from Avengers: Age of Ultron, both the DC series and the Harry Potter series originated here.

The same applies to Alien, Superman, and Troy.

As one of the world's leading film studios, Shepherdton's history is a microcosm of British film history.

Here, even filming is considered a supreme honor.

Time passes day by day.

Before I knew it, the day to join the crew arrived.

Paula arrived at the hotel early to wait; she would be the one to take Chen Jin to the film set today.

In general.

Chen Jin's role in this drama is pitifully small.

The footage is only ten minutes long, and if the pace is fast, it can be filmed in about a day.

but--

Hollywood filmmaking demands perfection.

Joss Whedon, in particular, possesses exceptional control and work skills.

Along with his outstanding achievements, his work style is also highly criticized.

Almost multiple times.

He was accused of bullying on set.

He was accused of being targeted for his rude and abusive behavior towards actors and staff, and many of his collaborators have also accused him of being targeted.

at this point.

It's somewhat unacceptable to some.

However, his influence, popularity, and the works he has presented have attracted countless superstars.

It has to be said that this is definitely a very contradictory point.

Chen Jin didn't think too much about it. What Joss Whedon did was none of his business. After all, they didn't have much interaction outside of work.

Zhu Yanmanzi watched Chen Jin finish breakfast before stepping forward to straighten his tie.

The two have already discussed it, and Zhu Yanmanzi will not accompany them on this shoot.

Everything is in order.

Chen Jin went downstairs, where Paula had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing her target, she went to greet her.

"Let's go."

"Don't keep them waiting too long on their first day on set."

Chen Jin nodded, and the two got into the car.

Overall, Chen Jin doesn't need to worry about the Marvel production team experiencing the same situation as "The Wolf of Wall Street".

After all, Paula and Joss Whedon have a high degree of overlap in their collaborations.

As both are top-tier Hollywood producers, their relationship can be described as mutually beneficial.

It is impossible for any deviation to occur.

Just then, the car slowly drove towards Sheberton Studios.

"Hey! Joss."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Paula walked into the set of "Avengers: Age of Ultron," and after hearing the sound, Joss Whedon looked over.

To know.

In 2013, Paula Vage was arguably one of the most powerful women in Hollywood.

Anyone who sees her will definitely give her a wide berth.

"Paula, why did you come all the way here in person?"

Chen Jin nodded to Joss Whedon in greeting, then walked to a seat to the side.

In this film crew, Chen Jin met countless top Hollywood stars.

Robert Downey Jr., who was at the absolute top of the entertainment industry, became the highest-paid and most bankable male star in Hollywood through the role of Iron Man.

Its artistic and commercial value has been recognized.

From then on, Robert Downey Jr. became a global phenomenon.

Chris Evans, who is currently at the height of his popularity as Captain America, had already established himself as a top Hollywood star with his Fantastic Four series long before playing the role.

Besides.

He also successfully created many characters that are completely different from Captain America.

Look around.

The entire crew is already a hot commodity in Hollywood.

Scarlett Johansson.

As an important female hero in the original Avengers, Black Widow's image immediately made her one of the most bankable actresses.

Prior to this, her film "Girl with a Pearl Earring" was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama or Comedy at the Golden Globe Awards.

As the most influential members of the Avengers, these individuals are among the most popular in Hollywood.

"Hello, Chan."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope we can work together successfully."

A voice sounded in his ear, and Chen Jin turned his head to look at the person who was greeting him.

It's Elizabeth Olsen.

As a new character introduced alongside him, Elizabeth Olsen plays Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver's sister.

"Hello, Olson."

Everyone was still preparing and filming had not yet begun.

Upon seeing Chen Jin's appearance, the others present all came over.

"The Marvel family welcomes you." Robert Downey Jr. waved to Chen Jin. Everyone's first impression of this young film star from China was that he was incredibly talented.

Many filmmakers try their luck in Hollywood, but very few can achieve what he has.

His success can be attributed to a confluence of favorable timing, location, and human factors.

The release of "Fast & Furious 6" in particular doubled his status in Hollywood.

just now.

Chen Jin's career in Hollywood has definitely taken off.

A unique figure in China.

The others present came over and spoke with Chen Jin politely and in a friendly manner.

After exchanging pleasantries with Joss Whedon and giving Chen Jin a few words of advice, Paula left the film crew.

"Guys! Now let's welcome the newest superhero to the Marvel family."

Quicksilver, chan!

"I hope everyone has a pleasant time during the remaining filming."

Those present applauded.

A moment later, the stage crew were all in their positions.

When facing work, the most important thing is to work together effectively.

Clearly, with Joss Whedon in complete control, everyone was on edge.

Chen Jin entered the dressing room.

As for the others, they have already begun setting up the entire filming location.

Robert Downey Jr. glanced at Chris Evans beside him, and their gazes fell on the dressing room where Chen Jin was.

The newly added character received extremely strong criticism when he was first announced.

Throughout North America, no one can accept a Marvel hero with a Chinese face.

To Marvel fans, this is nothing short of blasphemy.

but--

Even though they were criticized by many, they still resolutely chose Chen Jin during the casting process.

Overall, this was the right choice.

After the success of "Fast & Furious 6", no one dared to question China's box office influence anymore.

In just a few days, it raked in 30 billion yuan at the box office.

This achievement has never been seen before.

This is sufficient proof of the ultimate impact brought about by Chen Jin.

Chen Jin had finished her makeup, and her short, silver-white hair made her face look quite handsome.

Filming has already begun outside.

Chen Jin found her position; a forest team battle was currently being filmed in one continuous take.

This is the opening scene of the film.

The Avengers attack Hydra's base in a snowy forest, seamlessly switching between Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk, and Hawkeye.

Chen Jin's gaze fell on the monitor.

It is undeniable that China's filming technology is still somewhat inferior to that of North America.

Whether it's hardware, shooting tools, or technical approaches.

The difference between China and the West is not just a little bit.

In particular, the technological monopoly in North America has meant that even though China has made many attempts in technology, it still lags behind in innovation.

The seamless, uninterrupted film before her made Chen Jin give it a thumbs up.

It's not that he's advocating for foreign technology; this visual relay race requires more than just the director's individual skill; it also depends on the teamwork between members.

This scene.

This allowed Chen Jin to witness Joss Whedon's capabilities.

"OK."

"Halftime, Chan and Olsen are ready to come on."

Robert Downey Jr. had just finished his scene when he saw Chen Jin walking towards him, so he reached out and patted the person on the shoulder.

"OMG!"

"He really is handsome."

"Keep it up! I'm really looking forward to your next performance."

Robert Downey Jr. greeted Chen Jin with a smile.

He had seen the finished product of Chen Jin's previous film, "Fast & Furious 6," and was pleasantly surprised by how well she portrayed the villain.

Chen Jin nodded; he had already prepared.

Today's role isn't important; Joss Whedon probably wants him to familiarize himself with the film set environment first, so he only needs to make an appearance.

Elizabeth Olsen came to Chen Jin's side.

The two will be having a fight scene next, and Chen Jin's filming process requires a higher level of precision.

High-speed cameras were used to film the surrounding environment in order to ensure that the footage of Chen Jin could be played back at an extremely slow speed.

such.

This will allow Chen Jin to synthesize at a normal speed in the future.

After all, Quicksilver is incredibly fast, and achieving his speed is simply wishful thinking. Therefore, Chen Jin had to run quickly on a treadmill in front of a green screen to simulate movement.

Chen Jin is ready.

I'm secretly excited about the upcoming scenes.

It's important to know that Marvel is currently the most popular IP in the world.

This appearance in the movie will bring even greater traffic and influence.

Based on.

why not?

"Rest time over, everyone back to your positions!"

"Day 6, Session 2."

"Action".

At Joss Whedon's command, everyone had already taken care of their own situations.

boom--

After the violent collision, Chris Evans looked straight ahead, completely bewildered.

There was nothing in front of him; this kind of performance without props is the most basic professional conduct for every actor.

Chen Jin's face flashed quickly in front of the monitor.

As his first appearance in a Marvel movie, he was in remarkably good form.

Chen Jin and Elizabeth Olsen appeared before the crowd.

The monitor slowly moved closer.

The appearance of the two left a deep impression.

The image freezes on Chen Jin's face, which carries a hint of rebellion and cynicism.

His strength lies in his ability to pass through walls and create vortexes, and his appearance just now clearly perfectly matched his image.

"Not bad!"

Joss Whedon nodded.

When he reached an agreement with Paula, he had a very high opinion of Chen Jin.

as predicted.

The movie "Fast & Furious 6" directly boosted his current popularity and status.

The first scene ended so abruptly.

For Chen Jin, however, she was able to learn countless knowledge points.

Especially the scene where he just appeared, it really made people gasp.

"How about it?"

Joss Whedon walked over to where Chen Jin was, intending to have a casual chat with him.

After all, with Paula acting as a go-between, things are going to be more favorable towards Chen Jin.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now.

Chen Jin is now undoubtedly the key to opening up the Chinese market. With such a position, Joss Whedon would naturally not break ties with her or engage in any underhanded tactics.

That's not a good approach.

"feels good."

"I benefited greatly from working with Downey and the others."
