As soon as the call connected, Tom's excited voice came through: "Chen, you've created a miracle!"
This veteran Warner Bros. executive, completely devoid of his usual composure, declared: "Warner Bros. headquarters has decided to offer you a brand new exclusive contract. For the next five years, you will have absolute creative autonomy and final editing rights over all your projects at Warner Bros., and your salary and profit-sharing will all be based on top-tier Hollywood standards!"
This contract is the most prestigious and privileged contract ever offered to an actor in Hollywood history.
Previously, only top directors like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas had such creative autonomy.
No actor has ever received such privileges from Warner Bros.
But now Warner is willingly handing this contract to Chen Xun.
No one knows better than them how much profit Warner Bros. made from that Joker movie they initially rejected.
Warner Bros. made a fortune just from box office revenue sharing.
Not to mention the long-term benefits brought by subsequent streaming media rights, peripheral products, and the enhancement of IP value.
More importantly, Chen Xun's "Joker" helped Warner Bros. win the most crucial round in the superhero battle with Marvel, completely reversing the decline of DC comic book adaptations.
After hanging up the phone, Christine looked at him and pinched his cheek: "Why aren't you excited at all? Warner has been treating you like a god of wealth."
"I'm so excited!"
Chen Xun smiled and pulled her into his arms, then lowered his head to kiss her forehead: "But more than the box office numbers, what makes me happier is that this movie has truly allowed more people to see those forgotten corners."
at the same time.
Joker has also achieved widespread success in winning awards worldwide.
After winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, Joker embarked on a journey to sweep film festivals around the world.
At the British Academy Film Awards, *Joker* received 11 nominations and ultimately won Best Actor and Best Original Score.
Three awards for Best Editing.
At the César Awards in France, "Joker" won the Best Foreign Language Film award, becoming the first comic book adaptation to win the award.
Japan Academy Film Prize, South Korea's Blue Dragon Film Awards, Australia Film Academy Awards —
Top film festivals in dozens of countries around the world have all opened their doors to "Joker".
Joker won dozens of awards, becoming the most awarded and influential comic book adaptation in film history.
Numerous top filmmakers have publicly expressed their approval of this film.
Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese stated in an interview: "Many people say that comic book movies are not movies, but roller coasters in theme parks. But Joker breaks this prejudice. It is true cinematic art, a profound dissection of the times and human nature. Chen Xun's performance is textbook-level. He deserves all the praise."
Heath Ledger's father, who played the Joker, also spoke out publicly: "If Heath were alive, he would be proud of Chen Xun's performance. He didn't imitate anyone; he gave the Joker a completely new soul and made the character have a power that transcends time."
The Academy Awards, which are the most watched awards in the world, also announced the nominations for the latest Oscars after the theatrical release.
With 13 nominations, "Joker" became the most nominated film at this year's Oscars, sweeping nominations for all the core awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score. It became the first comic book adaptation film in Oscar history to compete for the top prize with overwhelming force.
The Best Actor nomination made Chen Xun the first Chinese actor in Oscar history to be nominated for Best Actor two years in a row.
He was nominated for Best Actor for La La Land last time, but unfortunately he did not win.
This time, almost all awards season prediction media listed Chen Xun as the top favorite for the Oscar for Best Actor.
Top entertainment media outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and Vanity Fair all stated in their cover stories: "The suspense for this year's Best Actor Oscar is over; Chen Xun has already secured the golden statuette with 'Joker'."

A series of attribute orbs and text prompts left Chen Xun stunned for a long time before he could fully understand the text.
The backyard of a detached villa in Beverly Hills.
The surface of the outdoor swimming pool shimmered, and a white sunshade was erected around the pool.
The Wagyu beef ribs on the grill sizzled and released a rich aroma of meat.
The long table was laden with handmade sandwiches, fruit tarts, chilled champagne, and craft beer.
Christine, dressed in a simple black tank top and denim shorts, was barefoot on the lawn, arranging freshly baked cookies on a tray with Dakota.
Dakota had just rushed back from the film set in Atlanta yesterday, and before she even had time to put her luggage back at her own home, she brought Ellie straight to Chen Xun's villa.
The two stayed up half the night.
That's how they finalized all the details for this little gathering.
"Put the chocolate chip cookies over there; he doesn't like anything too sweet. Put the oatmeal cookies next to his usual recliner."
Dakota held a cookie and arranged the cookies neatly.
Christine raised an eyebrow at this, moved the oatmeal cookies to the front of the tray, and snorted.
[This woman is quite thoughtful; she even remembered that he doesn't like sweet cookies.]
[To be honest, she flew six hours from Atlanta just to throw him this celebration party; her feelings were written all over her face.]
Chen Xun leaned against a pillar not far away, listening to Christine's thoughts and watching the two girls busy on the lawn, and smiled knowingly.
There are still more than half a year until the final Oscars ceremony.
He had originally planned to have a quiet get-together with a few close old friends.
Unexpectedly, Christine and Dakota had already thought of this for him.
Dakota looked up and met Chen Xun's gaze. A faint blush instantly rose on her cheeks. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the tray in her hand and smiled gently at him.
Sunlight fell on her light golden hair, bathing her in a glow, making her look like a saint.
But the saintess's eyes were filled with affection for Chen Xun.
[Dakota Fanning's favorability +0.5, current favorability: 98.5]
Looking at the words in front of him, Chen Xun smiled slightly.
It's only 1.5 points away from 100 points of favorability.
However, it took several years for Christine to reach a 99-100 favorability rating.
Chen Xun summarized his experience in the middle of the process.
It seems a special CG is needed to satisfy the requirement of increasing the final bit of affection.
And each person's situation is likely different.
It's like a strategy game he played in his past life.
This needs to be thought about carefully!
Chen Xun stroked his chin, lost in thought.
What will the final CG scene in Dakota be like?
See parents?
He has seen it.
Sleeping, needless to say.
He has explored every possible position.
What else could it be?
Just then!
The villa's gate was pushed open, and a hearty laugh rang out first.
"Bro, congratulations on creating a miracle in film history!"
Chris, the god of thunder, strode in.
It felt no different from going into my own home.
He was dressed casually in a linen shirt and jeans, his muscular physique making the shirt look very defined. Behind him was his wife, Elsa Pataky, carrying two bottles of red wine from Australia.
The tough Australian man walked in and gave Chen Xun a big hug, patting him on the back and laughing heartily: "I knew you could do it! Back when you said you were going to make 'Joker,' all of Hollywood was waiting to laugh at you, and now you've really humiliated us!"
"A global box office of 14.8 billion? I couldn't even imagine that! You've shattered the ceiling for R-rated films!"
"If you keep praising me, I'll get arrogant!"
Chen Xun smiled and hugged him back, taking the red wine from his hand: "Sit down, beer and barbecue are all ready, plenty to go."
"Then I won't be polite!"
Chris's eyes lit up, and he headed straight for the barbecue grill, not forgetting to tease, "You're the most valuable person in Hollywood now. Warner Bros. treats you like a god of wealth. Next time I'm negotiating a contract with Marvel, I'll have to use your name."
Following closely behind was Vin Diesel, dressed in a black leather jacket, exuding a tough guy aura. He didn't say much, but stepped forward and gave Chen Xun a tight hug, his voice deep and powerful: "Congratulations, bro. I told you long ago, you were born for this."
He then added a line etched in his DNA: "Remember, we will always be family."
Chen Xun couldn't help but laugh.
This guy is still the same as always.
"Thanks, please have a seat. Let's not talk about work today, just drink and chat."
