Chapter 107
The filming in China ended quickly.
Next, they officially embarked on the global filming journey of the "public-funded travel" arc.
Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Pakistan, Arabia... and then finally Egypt.
Although the masses globally were cursing online.
But every time they saw the latest progress on the ACG film production online, they still couldn't help but click in.
Soon, photos of Xu Feng, wearing a black trench coat, with his military cap seemingly connected to his hair, and his iron-hard chest and muscles seemingly about to burst the vest inside, were exposed online.
It was clearly makeup, with some Western features, but one could vaguely tell it was indeed Xu Feng.
But didn't they say DIO would return in the third part?
Shouldn't he be playing DIO?
What's going on with this black-haired, black-clothed look?
And... this muscle mass is too exaggerated, right?!
In an instant, this photo went viral online.
After all, "Death Note" wasn't released domestically, so most of the public's impression of Xu Feng.
Was still stuck on that Aizen Sosuke, sitting on the throne of Las Noches in a white trench coat, full of aura.
Because of Aizen's aura-filled and literary lines, many fans jokingly called Aizen a philosopher.
And what's the situation with this look now?
Philosopher turned philosopher?
Seeing that the heat was gradually rising, Xu Feng simply released the crew photos on the internet.
Xu Feng playing Jotaro Kujo, Qiao Zhenyu as Noriaki Kakyoin, Bell as the elderly Joseph, Henry Cavill as Polnareff...
Henry Cavill, who played Superman...
Not to mention that weird broom-head hairstyle.
Polnareff's outfit made his physique look like he had walked right out of an anime.
The outline of his upper chest was squeezed into an exaggerated deep cleavage.
I don't know how many women felt ashamed of themselves.
And Henry Cavill...
Xu Feng said, "You think the nickname 'Pol-Pol' is a joke?"
And Xu Feng and Bell didn't train any less than Henry Cavill.
Bell lived up to his nickname as Hollywood's "Rubber Man," switching between muscular hunk and skinny guy at will.
Hu Ge, who used to play the young Joseph, wasn't even as buff as Bell, the elderly Joseph.
It was just absurd.
And Qiao Zhenyu, who was barely over 1.8 meters, although he trained his abs and muscle lines under Xu Feng's orders.
In front of these freaks who were nearly 1.9 meters tall, he looked as thin as a little girl.
[Holy crap! Peng Zili markets his muscles all day long, but compared to Xu Feng, he's just a skinny dog!]
[Compared to this group, Qiao Zhenyu feels like he's in a different art style; these guys are too buff.]
[In the third season of Bleach, Aizen doesn't even need to use Kyoka Suigetsu; he can just punch the Gotei 13 to death.]
[I'm suddenly looking forward to Xu Feng's drama. Training like this for one drama, and he'll definitely have to lose this muscle to play Aizen later; just thinking about it makes me feel painful.]
[The guy above, don't defect so early. Didn't we all agree that no one should watch Xu the Scumbag's drama, forcing him to film the third season of Bleach early?]
Once the character photos were released, they sparked discussion among the masses, as expected.
After all, nowadays, when "little fresh meat" actors play muscular men, they just search for "muscle suits" on Taobao.
Who would torture themselves like this, training until they look like this?
Unless you're like Peng Zili, who can use this as a marketing tool to cover up the embarrassment of not even being able to speak Mandarin fluently.
Two months later, Egypt.
After nearly two hours of work by Tony, the stylist hired at a high price from the Lighthouse Nation.
When Xu Feng walked out of the dressing room, everyone on set was stunned.
He went in as Jotaro, and came out as DIO.
"Old Qiao, get ready for the scene."
Xu Feng, in DIO mode, spoke suddenly.
Compared to the thickness of the bass voice used in Jotaro mode, DIO's voice was more magnetic and arrogant.
Qiao Zhenyu quickly recovered from the shock, but there was still a slight sense of unreality.
After all, for the past two months, he had been through thick and thin with the Jotaro played by Xu Feng.
Now he had to "kill" him.
That's right, Qiao Zhenyu knew he could wrap up his filming in these two days.
Because he was going to die...
"Old Qiao, when you die, your eyes must show longing for your parents far away in China, reluctance to leave your friends, and determination to defeat DIO. You can't miss any of these."
Xu Feng explained the key factors of Kakyoin's death to Qiao Zhenyu.
Although he is handsome, Old Qiao is also a solid actor, nodding repeatedly as he listened.
But when filming officially started, he was still conquered by the temperament Xu Feng suddenly switched to.
Although both have high aura, DIO and Jotaro are two completely different character types.
But when Xu Feng played them, there wasn't a hint of incongruity!
"You're afraid of me, aren't you? Kakyoin, just like a year ago."
Xu Feng, in DIO mode, crossed his arms over his chest, raised an eyebrow, and asked Qiao Zhenyu, who was standing on the opposite building, with a sneer:
"Is it worth it to risk your life for that old fool Joseph at such a young age?"
Seeing Xu Feng, who had entered another character state, with his appearance and temperament completely different from when he played Jotaro before.
Qiao Zhenyu's heart couldn't help but start racing.
"Nonsense, I was indeed afraid of you back then, but now I'm different from before!"
"Not only to repay Mr. Joestar and Jotaro for saving my life, but also to bid farewell to the weak me of the past!"
This dialogue didn't exist in the original manga or the new anime version in his past life.
It appeared in the OVA, the version where Jotaro had a face on his invincible stand.
Xu Feng felt this dialogue could very well reflect Kakyoin's determination before death, so he added it in.
"Take this! DIO! 20-meter radius Emerald Splash!!!"
To be honest, shouting such lines without special effects and background music is quite embarrassing.
Not to mention the actors, the audience also feels it's weird.
When watching other dramas, it always feels awkward when the protagonist shouts the name of their ultimate move while fighting.
Like in Wuxia dramas, would Qiao Feng or Duan Yu shout "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" or "Six Meridian Divine Sword" while fighting?
But for some reason, in Xu Feng's drama, that sense of incongruity inexplicably disappeared.
When filming "Bleach" at the beginning, Hu Ge, Jiao Enjun, and others also felt uncomfortable when shouting the release words of their Zanpakuto while swinging their swords.
But they got more and more used to it later.
Not to mention Xu Feng, this veteran ACG fan.
"Fool! Let me show you! The true ability of [The World] is that it can dominate the power of the entire world!"
Xu Feng suddenly raised his index finger and shouted louder than anyone:
"ZA WARUDO!"
