Chapter 413 The Spring Festival Film Market Champion
The day the dubbing work was completely finished.
Chris Hemsworth couldn't contain his excitement and edited together a clip of his own voice acting for Lin Tim, along with a classic line from Chen Xun's voice acting for Liu Peiqiang, and posted it directly on Twitter.
"I participated in the dubbing of a great Chinese science fiction film, and the dubbing work has been successfully completed. Just a heads-up, the voice acting for Chen Xun is absolutely phenomenal! See you in theaters worldwide!"
This tweet immediately caused an uproar on the global internet.
In just one hour, the number of reposts exceeded one million, and the number of likes exceeded three million.
The comment section was completely flooded with netizens' amazement and memes: "Thor is actually doing voice acting for a Chinese sci-fi movie? And the Fast & Furious stars are in it too? This voice acting lineup is amazing!"
"Chen Xun's voice acting gave me goosebumps! 'Civilization without humanity is meaningless'—that line is so powerful!"
"What did I just hear? Vin Diesel's deep voice! Paul's gentle voice! And Tom Holland's youthful voice! This lineup is amazing!"
"They used to say Chinese sci-fi couldn't produce anything good, but now Hollywood's top stars are scrambling to get voice acting roles. They must be slapped in the face, right?"
"I can't laugh anymore! Thor gave up being a god of Asgard and came to Earth as a talkative tech geek; the dimensional barrier has been completely broken!"
Weibo in China exploded!
This is the first time a Chinese science fiction film has had such a luxurious foreign voice cast.
#The Wandering Earth's Hollywood Ace Voice Cast#
#Chen Xun's Voice Acting Deification#
The two terms immediately topped the trending search list.
Netizens' comments were overwhelming: "Who understands this, folks! Chen Xun really pulled off an amazing performance! A Chinese sci-fi film with an all-star Hollywood voice cast—this was something we never even dared to dream of before!"
"Before, we were the ones chasing after Hollywood blockbusters; now, Hollywood bigwigs are scrambling to dub our domestic sci-fi movies. This turnaround is amazing!"
"Chen Xun is truly a unique figure in the Chinese entertainment industry! Not only did he achieve legendary status in Hollywood, but he also led Chinese science fiction to the international stage. Who wouldn't be amazed by his vision!"
"A must-see during the Spring Festival! I have to go to the cinema to support Chinese science fiction!"
The viral spread of dubbed clips has directly pushed global anticipation for "The Wandering Earth" to its peak.
The number of people who want to see the film on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb has surged again, and calls for a domestic release date are growing louder.
At the same time that dubbing was completed, good news also came from the domestic film submission process.
"Chen Xun! Passed! Unanimously approved! No major revisions requested!"
Guo Fan personally called Chen Xun, his excitement practically overflowing the screen: "The leaders at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television said this film is a milestone in Chinese science fiction and have given us the highest level of support!"
Chen Xun couldn't help but smile: "That's great, thank you for your hard work."
"What's so tiring? You brought all this!"
Guo Fan said with a smile, "The leaders who reviewed the film said that, on the one hand, the film is of excellent quality and has a positive core message; on the other hand, it's because of your consistently positive image in doing public welfare and the glory you've brought to Chinese films internationally. The higher-ups valued these points highly and gave it the green light all the way!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xun was filled with emotion.

The process of submitting "The Wandering Earth" to the censors in its previous life was fraught with difficulties, requiring countless revisions before it finally passed the review.
In this life, not only did everything go smoothly, but he also received the highest level of support.
This is both an affirmation of the film's quality and a recognition of the positive values he has consistently conveyed.
The Film Bureau officially announced that "The Wandering Earth" will be released nationwide on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2018 during the Spring Festival.
The announcement caused an instant uproar across the internet.
Other film producers during the Spring Festival season panicked when they saw that "The Wandering Earth" was scheduled for release.
With Chen Xun at the helm and a Hollywood all-star voice cast, this film is destined to become the box office champion during the Spring Festival.
Anyone who touches it will die!
Many film producers held meetings overnight, deciding to either change release dates or reduce their marketing budgets.
Netizens couldn't help but joke: "With 'The Wandering Earth' scheduled for release during the Spring Festival, other films have fled overnight. The Chen Xun effect is truly remarkable!"
While the domestic release date has been set, overseas distribution is also proceeding at full speed.
Rob and his team almost never returned to Los Angeles, flying all over the world, from North America to Europe, from Japan and South Korea to Southeast Asia, negotiating distribution and scheduling in one country after another.
With its own distribution channels as a foundation, coupled with Chen Xun's global box office appeal and the support of an all-star Hollywood voice cast, Xunxing Entertainment has the advantage of strong distribution channels.
The overseas distribution has proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
Rob would call Chen Xun every day to report on the progress: "Bro, it's all settled in North America! It's going to be shown across all three major theater chains, AMC, Regal, etc., in 4200 theaters, receiving the same treatment as Hollywood A-list commercial films, with prime-time screenings accounting for no less than 60%!"
"We've got everything sorted out in Europe! Simultaneous release in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, with each film accounting for over 30% of screenings, setting a new record for Chinese films in Europe!"
"We've also reached agreements with Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. The film will be released simultaneously with the Chinese New Year film in 87 countries and regions around the world!"
This marks the first time in Chinese film history that a film has been released globally simultaneously in a truly meaningful way!
Every piece of news that comes out is breaking the record for overseas distribution of Chinese films.
In its previous life, "The Wandering Earth" was released overseas almost a month later than in China, with very few screenings, and ultimately only grossed a few million US dollars overseas.
In this life, thanks to Chen Xun's efforts, it not only achieved a simultaneous global release but also received the same screening privileges as Hollywood A-list blockbusters.
This has completely broken the predicament of Chinese films facing difficulties in overseas distribution and limited screenings.
The moment the news of a simultaneous global release was officially announced, the Chinese film industry was completely shaken.
Countless directors, actors, and industry professionals have posted messages of congratulations, stating that "Chen Xun has not only reached the pinnacle of the world film industry himself, but has also led Chinese cinema to truly step out of the country and onto the world stage."
While news of "The Wandering Earth" was still brewing, Chen Xun received a call from Marvel.
Avengers: Infinity War is about to start filming.
This is Chen Xun's first time participating in a film in the Avengers franchise.
Pinewood Studios in Atlanta.
The filming set of "Avengers: Infinity War" was as lively as a huge party.
The entire studio was covered with green screens, from the wreckage of spaceships in Asgard to the barren surface of Titan, with the 1:1 scale real-life sets and special effects green screens seamlessly integrated.
The final battle, the culmination of Marvel's decade-long plan, has begun here.
In the core rest area of the studio, the core cast of the Avengers gathered together. Robert Downey Jr., wearing an Iron Man suit, crossed his legs and played with his sunglasses. Mark Ruffalo was curled up on the sofa with a thermos in his arms. Scarlett Johansson, wearing Black Widow's bodysuit, was chatting with Elizabeth Olsen.

The focus of the entire event was undoubtedly Chen Xun, who had just entered the studio.
To be precise, it was Chen Xun who had just changed into his Spider-Man suit.
The red and blue bodysuit fit his body perfectly, and the spiderweb pattern shimmered under the lights of the studio. He took off his glasses and hood and hung it on his waist. His hair was slightly damp with sweat, and he exuded youthful energy. He was just like Peter Parker who stepped out of a comic book.
But as soon as he reached the rest area, before he could even sit down, a large hand reached out and patted his shoulder.
Chris Hemsworth, dressed in Thor's armor with messy blond hair, leaned over and winked, "Hey, our Spider-Man's here. Are we going to change clothes later and become Captain Star-Lord?"
Having just finished recording the voiceover for "The Wandering Earth," Chen Xun and Chris arrived at the film set almost one after the other.
