Chapter 149: X-Men Plan! Kristen to play Mystique?
Ever since Taylor Swift and Emma Stone "rewarded" him halfway and then slipped away last time,
leaving Xu Can to struggle alone, stuck in place.
They seemed to have conspired to punish Xu Can.
These past few days, whether calling Taylor Swift or Stone Sister, they claimed not to be angry but found excuses not to give Xu Can a chance to get close.
Even when Xu Can suddenly ambushed Taylor Swift's home, he couldn't find her.
"Don't look, Emma and I are doing spa at a hot spring hotel these days. Which city? I won't tell you."
"Yes!"
Indeed, Emma Stone's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You reflect on yourself; don't expect to find us these days!"
Even the workaholic Emma Stone went to play, showing that they were determined to teach Xu Can a lesson.
Emma Stone's movie, the blind side, is set to be released at the New Year to pursue Oscar Awards in February of next year.
The lead actress missing the roadshow was a first in her career.
Fortunately, the blind side is a drama film, not a commercial film driven by celebrity box office,
Emma Stone's absence had little impact on the box office; it would still rely on word-of-mouth then.
As for Taylor Swift, her fourth album, "Red," was halfway through creation, so going on vacation was normal.
Her third album, "Speak Now," released at the beginning of the year, had already received Grammy nominations.
Including Awards for Album of the Year, Best Country Album, Best Country Solo Performance for "Mean," and Best Country Song for "Mean."
Taylor Swift herself did not have high expectations for this album; she believed that in terms of popularity and professional standards, "Speak Now" was not her best album.
It couldn't compare to last year's "Fearless," and the hope of winning a Grammy was not high,
so she had no psychological burden and went on vacation with Stone Sister.
Xu Can still couldn't figure out how two love rivals actually became good best friends.
Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Hanging up the phone, Xu Can, who had been holding back for many days, remembered another girlfriend, Scarlett Johansson, who had publicly confessed at The Avengers premiere.
That day, right after she confessed, Xu Can confirmed with her.
"Are you sure about the situation you mentioned?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Although the process might be difficult, and they might not let go, I'm still willing to try."
Scarlett Johansson's eyes were very firm, like Agent Natasha Romanoff in Avengers.
Xu Can didn't know what to say; if he refused, he would seem hypocritical.
He had just started flirting with Scarlett Johanssonbecause he had a good impression of her, and running away after flirting would be too dishonest.
If he agreed, it seemed a bit against morality, blatantly dating three women; most people wouldn't do this.
Thinking carefully, if he was timid and hesitant, wouldn't he be living like his previous life again?
Any rules, any worldly opinions, could be kicked aside.
I'll do whatever I want!
Scarlett Johansson herself didn't care, so why should I think so much?
Xu Can decisively embraced Scarlett Johansson and lowered his head to kiss her.
The two had moved beyond the dating stage and into a relationship.
On the premiere day of The Avengers, Xu Can and she rehearsed a scene that did not appear in Avengers,
Spider-Man vs. Black Widow was re-enacted, and this time the battle was exceptionally fierce.
Unexpectedly, only a few days later, Scarlett Johansson's tone was a bit strange:
"My Love, I really want to be with you too. It's just... I was tricked out by them; I'll make it up to you later."
Taylor Swift's triumphant voice came from the other end of the phone again:
"Hmph, good for you, Xu Can, you really wanted to sneak around and cheat on us! Sorry, you won't get to!"
Snap, the phone hung up, and Xu Can was stunned for a few seconds.
They actually kidnapped Scarlett Johansson to the hot spring hotel?
Alright, you're tough.
Since that's the case, Xu Can's contact list wasn't without other names.
Anne Hathaway, Ivanka, Kristen... these were all women he had once conquered.
"Kristen, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
"No, I'm not."
"Emma is also there."
"Hmm? Really? Where, what time?"
You're such a tomboy, always coveting my partner?
Fortunately, Emma Stone is straight and only considers Kristen a good sister.
"I'll pick you up at your place. Wait, I'll be there in half an hour."
Soon, an Audi R8, Stark's car from Iron Man, stopped in front of a high-end apartment.
Kristen Stewart got into the car door and subconsciously looked back, but there was no sign of Emma Stone.
Where is she?"
"What's the rush? She's at my place."
Stepping on the gas, Xu Can gave her no chance to back out, and quickly returned to his luxurious mansion.
In the dining room, a dinner had already been prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, with only Xu Can and Kristenpresent.
"You tricked me?" Kristen glared at him.
"You talk so much for a free meal. If you don't want to eat, I'll have the driver take you back."
"You…"
Kristen's expression changed, but she obediently sat down at the dining table.
Dressed in a jacket and leather pants, she looked out of place at the candlelight dinner.
Kristen naturally didn't care about her image and ate heartily.
Xu Can looked at her rather striking pretty face and couldn't help but smile.
During the meal, they casually chatted about movies. Since the box office for twilight 2 wasn't as explosive as in his previous life, Summit Entertainment was already preparing to cut the series.
The project for twilight 3: Breaking Dawn unexpectedly ran into difficulties.
Kristen could only watch Emma Stone become a Best Actress recently, feeling herself drifting further and further away from her.
The once globally popular actress had experienced some changes in her life trajectory in this parallel world.
Considering the friendship from their two "battles," Xu Can was considering giving her a hand.
"I have a new series. Are you interested?"
"Interested!"
Kristen's eyes instantly lit up.
Xu Can proactively extended an olive branch; anyone who didn't accept would be a fool.
Even as a supporting actress in his films, the pay could increase several times, let alone for a lead actress.
"You're interested before I even said anything?" Xu Canchuckled.
"Of course, as long as it's your movie, not acting in it would be idiotic," Kristen Stewart said truthfully.
"You know X Police, right?"
The girl nodded, bewildered.
"Mystique or Storm, which do you prefer?"
In the old X-Men, Mystique was Rebecca Romijn, a third-tier Hollywood actress; in the new version, it was the A-list actress "Big Sister" Jennifer Lawrence.
Xu Can's plan was to directly launch a new X-Men, starting with first class.
Establishing the X Police universe earlier would facilitate its connection with The Avengers, ultimately forming a higher-level pattern of Marvel heroes confronting a greater power.
The X Police movies themselves are also excellent.
first class, Days of Future Past, and Apocalypse are all considered outstanding special effects blockbusters.
Except for Dark Phoenix, which flopped in both critical reception and box office.
As for the actress playing Mystique, "Big Sister," this actress 237 has some character issues. Even in his previous life, despite winning an Oscar for Best Actress, she was deemed unworthy and accumulated a lot of negative publicity.
Moreover, Big Sister had not been friendly towards China and almost caused the death of a crew member, even making a joke out of it.
Xu Can was unwilling to tolerate such an actress, even if she climbed to the top.
Instead of benefiting Big Sister, it's better to give it to his own people.
With Kristen Stewart's figure and long legs, playing Mystique would be more than sufficient, even more suitable than Big Sister.
She would also be suitable to play Storm, but Storm has no role in the first movie, which is a slight disadvantage.
"Mystique, I really like that character."
"Good, she's yours."
"Huh?"
Kristen was stunned.
No audition needed? So casual?
"Yes, prepare your schedule. February to April next year. Any problems?"
Xu Can was very straightforward, giving Kristen no chance to think it over.
"No problem! Absolutely possible!"
Kristen Stewart realized her chance to take off had arrived!
Without a doubt, Mystique should be the female lead in X-Men!
"Mhm." Xu Can nodded lightly, finalizing the casting.
X Police: first class was thus approved, and a crew could be assembled for filming at any time.
As for now, after dinner, their relationship had improved considerably.
Leaning on the sofa watching a movie, they eventually kissed.
Perhaps due to Xu Can's support, Kristen Stewart had become much gentler, full of femininity.
Xu Can chuckled inwardly,
Taylor Swift, Stone Sister, Scarlett Johansson, didn't expect this, did you?
What if you team up? I can still sneak a bite..
Chapter 150: DC Movie Universe Begins! The Agreement with James Cameron!
With a first-weekend box office of $230 million, by the second week, on New Year's Eve, The Avengers had been released for 7 days and its box office had already surpassed $550 million!
Coupled with the boost from New Year's Eve and the subsequent weekend, The Avengers truly had the hope of breaking the $1.88 billion record set by Titanic!
The global film industry was shaken; everyone was discussing The Avengers, and other film companies could only temporarily lie low, waiting for this wave to pass.
The most pitiful was James Cameron's Avatar, which had been full of ambition, hoping to achieve great things and break his own record.
As a result, Avatar could only settle for the second spot at the box office.
Even if its total box office exceeded $1 billion, Avatarwould find it difficult to reach the top 3 in overall box office.
If James Cameron had read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he would surely exclaim:
"Since James Cameron was born, why was Xu also born!"
In this "Christmas Battle," he had already suffered a crushing defeat to Xu Can! It was a foregone conclusion!
However, in an interview, Director James Cameronmaintained a good attitude, smiling and chatting with the CNN camera:
"I really like Xu Can's The Avengers; their high box office truly makes sense."
"In these short few years in Hollywood, he has achieved what he has today, and I've watched every step of the way."
"This is due to Xu Can's hard work and talent; his genius has brought him to this position today. Others cannot imitate it, nor can they envy it."
"Rather than the victory or defeat between Avatar and The Avengers, I'm more excited for his next works."
"If possible, I hope to co-direct a major production with him."
Whether James Cameron's interview was sincere or not, at least it seemed magnanimous.
Xu Can also responded from afar:
"Thank you, Director James Cameron, for your praise. I grew up watching his films and really like The Terminator series."
"Working together is a good idea. I will think of a way to create an excellent film together."
Compared to Steven Spielberg, another world-class Jewish Director in Hollywood, Xu Can admired James Cameron more.
Director James Cameron is genuine, while Steven Spielberg has the shrewdness of a Jew, making him less suitable for collaboration.
Xu Can was quite disdainful of Steven Spielberg's habit of inserting private agendas, even though he hid it well.
Xu Can had many ideas for collaborating with James Cameron.
For example, Alita: Battle Angel and Ghost in the Shell, the original live-action adaptations were not satisfactory.
Xu Can could completely re-create them and work with Director James Cameron to tell these stories well.
Avatar 2: The Way of Water was also relatively mediocre; Xu Can could try to elevate this series to a new height.
Of course, these would at the earliest be scheduled for the summer of 2010.
Xu Can currently has quite a few film plans.
After The Avengers was released, there is also spider-man 3: sinister six, which has completed production and review and is awaiting release.
In addition, Iron Man 3, captain america 2: The Winter Soldier, thor 2, Hulk World War, X Police first class, Guardians of the Galaxy…
Marvel movies almost filled up 2010.
Furthermore, after the acquisition of DC, it has been shelved until now, only sustained by comic sales.
When comic sales were poor, DC Comics still had to rely on the headquarters for financial support.
The screenwriters in the DC film production department and the head of DC, Zack Snyder, were idle all day.
Especially Zack Snyder, he sent emails to Xu Can every day, asking when DC movies would start and when the scripts would be ready.
Xu Can replied: "I'm writing it, I'm writing it~."
Warner's version of batman v superman flopped at the box office and in terms of critical reception, dragging the dc universe back into the abyss.
The popularity accumulated by the dark knightplummeted, requiring a complete reboot with a new series.
As DC's flagship character, Superman is naturally the core IP.
So Xu Can planned to start the production of Superman: Man of Steel simultaneously with X-Men: First Class.
He had already sent people to check Henry Cavill's schedule in advance and was communicating with Henry Cavill.
Xu Can helped Henry Cavill make up for the regrets he had in his previous life.
Superman: Man of Steel, the Director's Cut of batman v superman, Wonder Woman, the Director's Cut of justice league, The Flash...
Between 2010 and 2011, these DC works will be successively brought to the big screen.
Xu Can had already assigned the plans and tasks in the Xinghe Entertainment annual report.
Happy, Vanessa, Zack Snyder, Kevin Feige, and others will execute Xu Can's plan in an orderly manner.
Even if Xu Can doesn't personally supervise every movie, he will step away to film, and he has his own arrangements for 2010.
Yes, it's The Three-Body Problem!
This is Xu Can's most important SSS-level plan for 2010.
He originally started preparing for filming at the end of 2009, but as a semi-original film, Xu Can hoped to start shooting in the best condition.
Currently, the movie script is almost adapted. He will then communicate with Liu and ask Guo Fan, Gong Geer, and others to offer their advice.
He strives to bring this sci-fi masterpiece to the big screen in its original form.
In addition to The Three-Body Problem trilogy, there are also Oscar-contending films such as Birdman, Life of Pi, and Manchester by the Sea.
Although the Oscar statuette is becoming less prestigious, if he can win it just by casually making a movie, why not?
Box office, reputation, and Awards—all three must be pursued vigorously!
"Do you all understand next year's work plan? The formal meeting ends here. How is the party arranged?"
Xu Can's serious expression relaxed. On the last day of 2009, the entire company worked hard for a year and deserved to relax.
Considering that time management needed to be divided into three parts this year, celebrating New Year's Eve separately was unrealistic.
With last year's experience, Xu Can naturally invited three beauties to celebrate New Year's Eve with him again.
Last year, the filming of source code served as a cover.
This year's New Year's Eve cover is the Xinghe Entertainment New Year's Eve party!
That's right, on this night, in the ballroom of the Beverly Hills Hotel,
Xu Can invited all members of Xinghe Entertainment, plus friends from the film and television industry and celebrities from all walks of life, to participate in this New Year's Eve party.
Two years ago, the party's scale probably wouldn't have been too large. Most people knew him as Spider-Man, and it was uncertain if they would show him respect.
Today, Xu Can is already an Academy Award for Best Director, a Best Actor, the creator of billion-dollar single-day box office, the father of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the helmsman of a Hollywood entertainment giant!
No one can ignore Xu Can's current status!
Even if he doesn't invite them, many big stars, investors, and others will come uninvited.
Xu Can simply sent out invitations, turning it into a Hollywood feast!
This news was released a month ago.
Xu Can's invitation has become like Willy Wonka's golden ticket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
Whoever receives an invitation is clearly superior in Hollywood circles!
Even A-list male stars like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and Al Pacino,
Half of them are Xu Can's friends, and almost all expressed their willingness to attend.
No one would have thought that Xu Can's original intention was just to celebrate New Year's Eve with three girls.
As a result, this New Year's Eve had a bunch more girls, not just Kristen.
Anne Hathaway, Emma Roberts, and other actresses who have a good relationship with Xu Can will all be present.
Xu Can completely entrusted Vanessa with organizing this New Year's Eve party, believing that she would certainly handle it properly.
"...It's all arranged, boss. In three hours, you might need to prepare in advance to walk the red carpet."
"Huh?" Xu Can was slightly stunned, "A party held in a personal capacity, do I still need to walk the red carpet?"
"Yes, this is also a Hollywood event, and many stars actively asked for and requested a red carpet segment..."
Xu Can could understand after thinking about it. This Xinghe Entertainment annual meeting was indeed a top show in Hollywood's Vanity Fair.
Stars from all walks of life arrived one after another, naturally attracting countless media attention.
Renting out the advertising wall for the red carpet segment not only saves costs but might even make a small profit.
Vanessa is indeed a genius.
"Alright, just make sure you arrange it... By the way, where are the others?"
Vanessa naturally understood Xu Can's meaning.
"Taylor, Emma, and Scarlett have been notified. Luxury cars will pick them up to attend together."
"Okay, let's do it that way."
They only managed to avoid Xu Can for two days by teaming up. Wouldn't they obediently come into his arms?
Xu Can found it amusing to think about; those three were still too naive.
The Xinghe Entertainment New Year's Eve Gala is about to begin!
Chapter 151: Hollywood Party, Xu Can's First Shot
"Welcome to Hollywood! On this last day of 2009, welcome to a grand event in Hollywood!"
"We see that at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Xinghe Entertainment annual meeting has begun accepting entry!"
"Just walked by were Tom Cruise and his wife Katie... David Beckham and his wife also came, invited as Xu Can's neighbors."
"We also see Gisele from Fast & Furious 4, Gal Gadot!"
"Anne Hathaway, who just finished filming Alice in Wonderland, also arrived! Rumor has it that she and Xu Can may have dated a few times..."
This was clearly not a social event or a major Awardsceremony.
CBS Entertainment Channel of Columbia Broadcasting System still dispatched news vans and reporters to broadcast live from the scene.
The live broadcast of the red carpet at the Xinghe Entertainment annual meeting maintained a 0.5% viewership rating.
This shows that ordinary Americans are quite idle.
The CBS reporters were like gossip tabloids, sharing gossip about every celebrity who appeared.
"Kristen Stewart, it is said that she will participate in Xu Can's new movie, X Police, with her specific role unknown..."
"Wow, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson are both here. Will Xu Can arrange these two strong men into a superhero movie?"
"And new singers who are emerging in the pop music scene, Ariana, Lana Del Rey, Carly... These three signed to Galaxy-Music, each released new albums this year, with remarkable achievements!"
"Thinking about it carefully, Xu Can's Xinghe Entertainment not only swept Hollywood with movies, but also achieved a lot in the field of pop music! It's truly terrifying!"
The brilliance of Xu Can's movies was so dazzling that people almost forgot about the rising stars in the music industry.
Taylor Swift, needless to say, is already a pop music queen.
The explosive popularity of songs like "The Way," "Call Me Maybe," and "Summertime Sadness" from 703,
Also gave Galaxy-Music an undeniable position in pop music!
Especially Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," after its single release in September 2009,
It debuted at number one on the singles charts in Australia, Japan, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand, Britain, and North America in its first week!
It topped the Billboard charts for 9 consecutive weeks! It became a massive hit across the entire internet!
There were cover videos of this song everywhere on YouTube, and this catchy, brainwashing song was played in every street and alley!
This song alone brought Xu Can at least eight figures in revenue!
Taylor Swift was a bit envious and planned to focus on writing songs in 2010, releasing her fourth album, Red, as soon as possible to reclaim the top spot on the Billboard charts!
Finally, after numerous stars walked the red carpet and entered, the most important guests arrived fashionably late.
When Xu Can walked onto the red carpet hand in hand with Taylor Swift, Emma Stone, and Scarlett Johansson, the surrounding reporters and onlookers erupted!
"Ahhhhh! Xu Can is so handsome!"
"Spider-Man!"
Xu Can had a bright smile on his face, waving and interacting with the fans and reporters around him.
The three actresses, all with polite smiles, walked hand-in-hand with Xu Can down the red carpet.
Unbeknownst to many, their outwardly composed demeanor actually hid playful bickering among themselves.
"I finally get to see you. You're clearly my girlfriends, but it's so hard to meet you."
"Who's your girlfriend?" the three women chorused.
"You guys are really... disheartening," Xu Can feigned pain.
"Do you know how I've been these past few days? Do you know how upset I've been?"
Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson felt a little sympathetic seeing Xu Can like this.
Just as they were about to softly say something nice, Stone Sister, who was holding Xu Can's arm, tightened her grip slightly.
"Hiss... what are you doing?"
"You've been upset these past few days? I'm afraid you've been having a great time with Kristen, haven't you?"
Emma Stone glared at Xu Can reproachfully.
"What?"
"There's more to this?"
The other two women also glared angrily.
No matter how good Xu Can's acting was, it couldn't stand against an internal leak.
Did Kristen tell Emma everything?
"No such thing, don't listen to her nonsense. I invited Kristen to my house for dinner to discuss serious matters; I plan to give her a role in X Police."
"Really?" Emma looked at Xu Can suspiciously.
"If you don't believe me, then so be it. When have I ever lied to you?"
Xu Can's righteous demeanor made the three women pause slightly, and they ultimately chose to believe him.
"Alright, I misjudged you," Emma Stone rubbed Xu Can's arm a bit guiltily.
"Good, since you admit your mistake, give me a massage after the party, and I'll let it go."
Xu Can took advantage of Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson's inattention, whispered into Emma Stone's ear, making her blush.
...
After the little interlude on the red carpet, the Xinghe Entertainment New Year's Eve party officially began.
The party format was very relaxed; Hollywood and political and business celebrities present held champagne, gathering in twos and threes to chat.
Xu Can moved among the North America elites with different female companions, acting as the host.
No matter how famous they usually were, at this moment they were all smiling, eager to strike up a conversation with Xu Can.
Gal Gadot, Megan Fox, Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, Amanda Seyfried...
Several young Hollywood actresses surrounded Xu Can, making Taylor Swift gnash her teeth nearby.
As if declaring her sovereignty, she went over and intimately hugged Xu Can's arm, leaning her whole body against him.
"What are you talking about?"
"We're talking about new movies, Taylor, do you mind sharing your boyfriend?"
Blake Lively joked boldly.
"What?" Taylor Swift's eyebrows shot up.
"I mean, I want to collaborate with Director Xu. It would be great if we had a chance to make a movie together."
"Me too, Director Xu, what do you think of me?"
Gal Gadot, who came from a beauty pageant, inadvertently showed off her impressive figure.
These vixen women, even in front of her, dared to flirt with Xu Can, wishing they could throw themselves onto him.
Taylor Swift hugged his arm even tighter, afraid he would abandon her and run off to Hollywood's flower garden.
Xu Can seemed to read her thoughts and gently patted Taylor Swift's small hand to comfort her.
"There will be opportunities in the future. You are all excellent actors, and you can definitely collaborate."
Xu Can's answer was very official, not using ambiguous words to flirt with them, and Taylor Swift temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.
Emma Roberts, standing nearby, remained silent in the crowd, just quietly watching Xu Can.
"I was clearly here first..."
It seemed Xu Can had always only treated her as a younger sister or a good friend, without any impropriety.
Watching Xu Can's rumored girlfriends increase, Emma Roberts finally couldn't hold back.
"Would it be better if... I was more proactive?"
...
At the party, the popular band Maroon 5 was playing energetically, setting the atmosphere for the party.
It seemed like hard work, but in reality, even without Xu Can paying an appearance fee, they were happy to perform.
Facing social celebrities, Maroon 5 also had a chance to show their faces, which was beneficial for their band's development.
Of course, the most important thing was Xu Can's influence.
Lead singer Adam Levine had always wanted to switch record labels.
Their current label, Octone Records, treated them like a cash cow, and their behavior was becoming increasingly unsightly.
It was rumored that the record company with the best reputation in the industry was Galaxy-Music.
Besides Taylor Swift and the "Three Queens of Galaxy," Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, and Adele had all chosen Galaxy-Music.
Compared to those unscrupulous companies that only cared about making money, Xu Can's company was famous for respecting singers and encouraging creativity.
Adam Levine had already convinced his bandmates to join Xu Can in 2010.
To the tune of Maroon 5's unreleased new song, "Moves Like Jagger,"
Xu Can had drunk too much champagne and slipped away from the crowd to the restroom.
Unexpectedly, just as he entered and was about to take out his "weapon," the restroom door suddenly opened.
Xu Can didn't pay much attention; there were many male guests, so it was normal for someone to enter a public restroom.
However, he glanced at the door and instantly became flustered.
"Victoria?"
Victoria Beckham's eyes were burning, and she leaned against the door, locking it behind her.
She was wearing a sheer black backless evening gown, her graceful figure faintly visible.
"This is the men's restroom; I think you've come to the wrong place."
"I didn't come to the wrong place... Last time we practiced yoga together, it wasn't thorough enough, and today I suddenly want to practice again."
Previously, when Beckham was away, Xu Can had gone to his house to practice yoga with Victoria, and as they practiced, the poses gradually became outlandish.
Beckham had returned from Milan these past two days, and Xu Can thought she would be more restrained.
He didn't expect Victoria to be so bold?
A woman like a ravenous wolf was too terrifying.
"Wait... this is a public place..."
"A public place? Even more exciting."
Victoria walked forward gracefully, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
...
"Where's Xu Can? He's gone again in a blink of an eye."
"Is he sneaking off to 'eat' again when we're not looking?"
"The three of us couldn't keep an eye on him, it's really..."
At the party, Taylor Swift, Stone Sister, and Scarlett Johansson huddled together and realized Xu Can was gone.
They had clearly agreed to take turns "watching" Xu Can, but he still managed to get away.
Stone Sister and Scarlett Johansson glanced sideways at Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift looked innocent: "I don't know either, I was clearly holding his arm..."
Just then, Xu Can opened his arms from behind and embraced the three of them.
"Talking bad about me again?"
"Where did you go? Did you sneak off to 'eat' again?"
"Of course not, I just went to the restroom."
Xu Can tried his best to appear calm with his god-tier acting skills.
The three women observed Xu Can carefully, but he showed no flaws.
Alright, let's go find someone else to talk to."
Xu Can breathed a sigh of relief after narrowly passing.
It wasn't him who was sneaking a bite just now; strictly speaking, the one who was sneaking a bite was Victoria, Mrs. Beckham.
Xu Can himself didn't want to provoke her, but unfortunately, he was cornered, so he had no choice but to surrender and enjoy.
Chapter 152: Being Counter-Pressured by Emma Roberts, and a Date with A-Mei
"Congratulations! You performed very well this year."
"Thank you, Xu, this album's success is largely thanks to you."
Beverly Hills Hotel, Xinghe Entertainment annual meeting.
Xu Can had just been 'snuck a bite' by Mrs. Beckham, yet he had to pretend as if nothing happened and go out to socialize.
Besides Hollywood stars who had no vested interests, there were also company personnel who needed encouragement and commendation.
This included the female singers signed by Galaxy-Music, Taylor Swift's "junior sisters."
Lana Del Rey and the other girl didn't say much; after a brief chat, Xu Can felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he simply excused himself and left.
A-Mei, Ariana Grande, on the other hand, really liked talking to Xu Can.
She wasn't tall; her height of 157cm made her seem like a little loli in front of Xu Can.
At only 16 years old this year, she even had a student-like aura.
After chatting about music for a while, Xu Can found that her musical talent, like in his previous life, was overflowing with creative desire.
"You really have a lot of inspiration. You can make a demo for me to listen to next week."
"I'd rather chat with you."
A-Mei pouted, "But you are a busy man, and you have Taylor with you. I am insignificant, so I probably won't even have a chance to talk to you."
"Nonsense, if you want to find me, just find me. I won't eat you."
"Really?" A-Mei looked up happily, her eyes lighting up.
"Of course, you are my friend, so you can naturally find me anytime." Xu Can actually really liked A-Mei.
As a Latina, her skin, though not as fair as Caucasians, was much better than Black people.
Moreover, A-Mei was slender and petite, quite adorable.
"That's great, then can I invite you to dinner next week? It's a date, please, you must come."
A-Mei, like a little girl, hugged Xu Can's arm and started to act spoiled.
Xu Can was typically someone who was easily swayed by gentleness, not by force.
As soon as the little girl acted spoiled, looking at A-Mei's eyes full of admiration and warmth, he agreed without hesitation.
As soon as A-Mei left, Taylor Swift came over.
"What were you just talking about with Ariana?"
"Talking about a date next week," Xu Can said casually.
"What?" Taylor Swift's eyebrows shot up.
"Her new album, there's a song she needs to discuss with me. Is there a problem?"
Xu Can said seriously.
Taylor Swift, however, nodded.
Although Xu Can seemed to be a film actor, Director, and producer, he had extremely high attainments in music!
Taylor Swift's song demos, Xu Can's judgment on which ones would succeed and which wouldn't, had a 100% accuracy rate!
This was a level that even music Directors of major record companies could not achieve!
Many of Xu Can's suggestions were very inspiring to Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift even suggested that Xu Can develop in the music direction.
"If you went to write songs, I might not even be able to surpass you."
Taylor Swift, the pop queen of Europe and America, truly felt inferior.
But Xu Can said that film was his true love, and music was not his pursuit.
Taylor Swift was full of regret.
Therefore, it was actually a very normal thing for Xu Canto guide A-Mei alone.
Taylor Swift had no reason to be jealous.
"Then after your dinner, no activities for the second half. I'll be waiting for you at home next week to inspect your ammunition depot."
"Don't worry, the ammunition for you will definitely be sufficient."
"You dirty boy…"
"You were the one who started it."
…
After a night of partying, Xu Can chatted with nearly 100 people in total.
This New Year's Eve party was coming to an end, and Xu Can, Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, and Stone Sisterwere going to watch fireworks together.
Just then, a graceful figure hesitantly approached.
It was Emma Roberts.
Their relationship used to be so good, even a bit ambiguous.
With Emma Stone and Xu Can making their relationship public, and Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson joining in,
with such a luxurious lineup, Emma Roberts became unconfident.
Her acting skills were mediocre and couldn't provide much help to Xu Can.
Her looks were also average, inheriting Julia Roberts's big mouth.
Her only advantage was her age; this year she was 18, younger than all the women around Xu Can.
"Xu, I feel like we've grown quite distant."
Emma Roberts said with a hint of resentment.
"I've been too busy these past two years."
Xu Can, as before, dotingly stroked Emma Roberts's little head.
"I'm not a child anymore, I'm 18."
Emma Roberts said excitedly.
"Don't get excited, Easy…" Xu Can wasn't sure why she was excited.
"Can't you see my feelings?"
"Wait… What?"
Xu Can was stunned. How could A-Mei invite him on a date just now, and then Emma Roberts confess to him right after?
And Mrs. Beckham's 'sneaking a bite,'
this New Year's Eve was truly not peaceful.
Xu Can and Emma Roberts were currently in the Beverly Hills Hotel lounge.
He had come in to rest after being tired from socializing, and Emma Roberts had followed him.
"You know, I have women around me, and quite a few…"
"I don't care, I just hope to have a place for myself."
As Emma Roberts spoke, she seemed to have been prepared for this today, throwing caution to the wind and hugging Xu Can's neck.
"Wait…"
Emma Roberts had already taken the initiative to kiss him.
As expected of one of Hollywood's sweethearts, the kiss was indeed sweet.
However, before Xu Can could react, Emma Roberts had already started to undress.
"Huh? Here?"
"There's no one here."
Emma Roberts said passionately.
New Year's Eve 2009, 30 minutes before the New Year's bell rang…
Xu Can was forced to fire his second shot of the night.
He had originally saved it for the three women, but it was intercepted beforehand by Mrs. Beckham and Emma Roberts, one after another.
What have you been up to again? Gone for half an hour?"
Xu Can had just returned to the banquet hall when he was cornered by the three women.
Taylor Swift, Stone Sister, and Scarlett Johansson looked at Xu Can suspiciously.
"Are you guys a bit paranoid? How could I possibly mess around with others twice in a row at a social event like this?"
Xu Can feigned anger:
"Socializing is too tiring. I lay down in the lounge next door for a while, is that not allowed? Am I the type of person who just goes after anyone I see?"
Seeing that Xu Can seemed genuinely angry, the three women's initial imposing aura vanished, and they instantly cowered.
"Baby, I wasn't doubting you..."
"Honey, don't be mad. I was just worried you'd be led astray by a bad woman."
"Yes, Xu. We misunderstood you, you've worked really hard today."
Watching them apologize and admit their mistake, Xu Canfelt secretly pleased,
but still perfectly acted out the feeling of magnanimously forgiving after being misunderstood.
Xu Can frequently used his god-tier acting skills to fool girls, and it worked every time.
"Forget it, I won't hold it against you. Just don't doubt me so much in the future. Let's go, there are 3 minutes left, let's watch the fireworks together."
With three top North American actresses in his arms, Xu Can lit the fireworks in the back plaza of the Beverly Hills Hotel.
In an instant, the sky was ablaze with colors, illuminating the entire night sky of Los Angeles.
"Happy New Year!"
Xu Can, embracing the three beauties, witnessed the arrival of the New Year alongside numerous Hollywood superstars and North American socialites!
...
After the crazy New Year's Eve party, Xu Can needed to confirm one thing on the first day of the New Year!
spider-man 3: sinister six was released!
Currently, the film's review process in various countries worldwide has concluded. It received a top PG-13 rating in North America, and was approved by all countries.
The final chapter of the Spider-Man trilogy can finally be released globally simultaneously, allowing fans worldwide to watch the long-awaited Spider-Man movie together!
It has been a full year since the last movie, Spider-Man 2!
Spider-Man fans worldwide have long been impatient!
Spider-Man is Xu Can's foundation, the place where he rose to fame.
Everyone has the deepest affection for this character.
And the resolution of the previous Spider-Man 2 left two huge hooks!
One was the confrontation between Rhino and Spider-Man, laying the groundwork for the Sinister Six.
Most importantly, after Gwen Stacy's death, before the audience even had time to cry, Spider-Gwen actually tore through parallel space and came to this universe!
What kind of sparks will Peter Parker and Spider-Gwenignite?
These are the contents that the audience is looking forward to!
Every day, fans leave comments under Xu Can's posts, and they've finally waited for it!
On January 1, 2010, the beginning of the New Year!
The trailer for spider-man 3: sinister six was officially released!
The movie is scheduled for release on January 29!
As soon as the news broke, movie fans around the world were shocked!.
Chapter 153: Spider-Man 3 Trailer! Sinister Six and Spider-Gwen!
"Tonight at 8 PM, same old place, Spider-Man 3 trailer goes live."
Xu Can's single sentence announcement on Face almost caused the GalaxyTV+ servers to explode.
Fortunately, Xu Can was willing to spend money, and most of the billions he earned were invested.
His own streaming platform, GalaxyTV+, has its own data centers, which are among the top tier compared to major global companies.
Weibo's 8 parallel servers for cheating can only be considered a younger brother compared to Xu Can's.
Therefore, at 8 PM, when hundreds of millions of users worldwide simultaneously appeared on GalaxyTV+ to open the spider-man 3: sinister six trailer,
the playback was smooth and fluid, without any lag.
Since source code in 2009, Xu Can gradually began to release trailers first on his own platform.
It would only gradually go live on YouTube and Face a day later.
Because of this, GalaxyTV+ gained many new paid users that year, with global paid users reaching 180 million!
Getting closer and closer to Netfilx's 240 million in 2023 in his previous life,
Xu Can believed that with price advantages, no-threshold registration, and genuinely compelling content,
at least in early 2010, more and more people's first action when opening their computers or TVs was to log into GalaxyTV+ to see if their favorite shows had updated, or what new shows and videos had been released.
Of course, on January 1st, everyone was busy watching the premiere trailer for spider-man 3: sinister six!

"My name is Peter Parker, and perhaps you already know my story."
At the beginning of the trailer, Spider-Man, played by Xu Can, held a cup of coffee, sitting leisurely on the edge of the Empire State Building's rooftop, looking at the panoramic view of New York City.
"For the past few years, I've been the one and only Spider-Man."
"With great power comes great responsibility."
"I saved some people, defeated Old Green Goblin, and unexpectedly, a Little Green Goblin appeared... oh, my poor good brother Harry."
"I also saved this city..."
The scene of Spider-Man stopping the train with his bare hands reappeared.
"Defeated Doctor Octopus... I advise everyone not to experiment on themselves easily before using unknown technology."
"I also fell in love, but unfortunately..."
Peter Parker's tone became somber, and the scene quickly cut to:
Uncle Ben's funeral, Captain George Stacy's funeral, Gwen Stacy's funeral... Peter Parker in a black suit remained unchanged at three different funerals.
"I saved this city countless times, but I couldn't save her."
"After all of this, I questioned whether I was a qualified Spider-Man."
"Perhaps Gwen in heaven also hopes I can regroup... because New York City is not peaceful."
"Every day I wake up knowing that the more people I save, the more enemies I make!"
A gigantic Sandman rampaged through the buildings, with sand swirling everywhere!
Vulture, with his wings, circled above New York, committing evil deeds!
Within New York City's power grid, Electro continuously leaped, flashing blue electric arcs!
In New York's Times Square, Mysterio, with a glass orb on his head, was staging a grand deception!
In a heavily guarded federal laboratory, Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms, which were securely locked away, were stolen, resulting in heavy casualties among the guards!
Inside a federal prison, Little Green Goblin Harry Osbornwalked out of the darkness with an evil smirk!
"See, things are quite troublesome... I'm afraid I can't handle it alone."
Just then, Emma Stone's voice suddenly appeared.
"No, you are not alone, nor are you the only Spider-Man."
"You are..."
Peter Parker instantly jolted, turning on the Empire State Building's rooftop to look behind him!
On the rooftop, a woman in a pink and white Spider bodysuit slowly revealed her figure!
Gwen Stacy!
"Gwen?! How is that possible?"
"Hi, Peter... I need to return to my universe."
Boom!
A thunderous explosion sounded in the distance.
"Manhattan is going to be in trouble, all of New York is about to be destroyed."
Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen, with fluid and graceful movements, fought the Sinister Six together!
The trailer quickly edited together exciting action scenes,
Even a fleeting glimpse was enough to make the audience tremble!
Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen were like perfectly coordinated figure skaters,
Except their dance moves were in the air!
"Sometimes, to do the right thing, we have to give up what we want most."
Boom!
Violent explosions, thrilling first-person shots.
[This January!]
[Two Spider-Man, will break their own destiny!]
"The important thing is, Spider-Man means sacrifice."
"You need to make a choice, whether to keep one person, or choose to save the entire universe!"
"Everyone keeps saying, this is the destiny of Spider-Man."
"I hope to find my own destiny!"
[spider-man 3: sinister six!]
[Shocking arrival!]
[Supports Dolby Audio, in-IMAX 2D/3D]
...
"Hiss..."
In a dormitory at Caltech in Pasadena, California.
Leonard and Sheldon huddled in front of the computer, watching the full premiere trailer.
"Holy Shit!"
Leonard couldn't help but exclaim.
"Although I know there's only one genius in the world, and that's me..."
Sheldon said, dumbfounded:
"But I have to admit, Xu Can is also a genius!"
The trailer for spider-man 3: sinister six made both of them excited!
Knock knock knock.
The door was knocked, and the moment Leonard opened it, Howard and Raj rushed in excitedly.
"Guys, have you seen it? The Spider-Man trailer!"
"It's awesome!! Kick-ass!"
"Seen it, seen it, I can't wait!"
"How can we endure this month!"
Leonard's lament was also the lament of Xu Can's fans worldwide.
The Avengers was still in theaters, and the aftershocks of the superhero blockbuster had not faded,
Everyone's attention had already turned to Spider-Man 3!
Judging solely from the trailer, the scale of spider-man 3: sinister six was no less than that of The Avengers!
In fact, in some large-scale scenes, it was even more shocking than The Avengers!
As the most liked comment below said:
"I thought The Avengers was already invincible, but I didn't expect there to be an even more explosive movie!"
"When you think Xu Can has reached his peak, he will tell you with a new work, no, this is not my peak, I haven't used my full strength yet!"
Just one day after the Spider-Man 3 trailer went online, the total number of views across all platforms had exceeded 300 million!
Everyone was enthusiastically discussing Spider-Man!
Since distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, Spider-Man temporarily cannot satisfy their craving...
Many viewers chose to go to the cinema to re-watch The Avengers.
Two weeks after its release, The Avengers' box office actually saw a small increase again! This completely defied the objective laws of the film market!
While Avatar's box office was only 500 million US dollars, The Avengers' global box office had already surpassed 1.2 billion US dollars!
It was getting closer and closer to Titanic's box office record of 1.8 billion US dollars!
20th Century Fox executives were utterly desperate, and Rupert Murdoch could only watch helplessly as Titanic's glorious history was gradually erased,
The new king was about to ascend the throne!
...
Meanwhile, Xu Can's date with Taylor Swift arrived as scheduled.
At that crazy New Year's Eve party, Xu Can's arsenal was frequently raided, and his firepower was constantly unleashed.
The romantic luck at the beginning of the New Year was somewhat explosive,
Xu Can had practically become a holy monk in a land of women, with every female demon wanting to pounce on him and drain his Yang energy.
First, he needed to reduce his morning runs during this period,
Lest he become weaker the more he ran in the morning.
Beckham officially returned to Milan to participate in the team's winter break training camp, as well as the Three Lions national team's training camp, meaning he would be out of Los Angeles for at least half a year.
Beckham's wife would be alone, and if Xu Can went to her house, he would probably be exhausted, even with his Spider-Man physique.
As Xu Can's friend, how could Beckham easily betray his brother?
Betraying him once or twice occasionally was enough.
In addition, Emma Roberts, the 18-year-old girl who went wild on New Year's Eve, seemed to have acquired a taste for it.
Just blossoming, she was incredibly clingy to Xu Can.
Unexpectedly, there was still an A to be dealt with.
"This date has no other meaning, I just want to thank you. The Way is a really great song."
Under Xu Can's guidance, Taylor Swift wrote The Way, which became popular across the internet, and she finally debuted successfully, becoming a well-known female singer in America.
For this, Taylor Swift was very grateful to Xu Can for discovering her,
This gratitude even became somewhat distorted, and her admiration for Xu Can was obvious.
Xu Can, who was often surrounded by women, how could he not know the thoughts of this 11.36-year-old girl?
Xu Can temporarily adhered to the scumbag's code, quietly observing the development of things with an attitude of not taking the initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility.
So, as they chatted, they ended up in the car, and then continued chatting at Xu Can's mansion.
During the conversation, their words were not intense, but their actions were quite intense.
Xu Can couldn't help but exclaim that being young is truly wonderful, and young people really know how to have fun.
He was somewhat enlightened.
...
Since New Year's Eve, Taylor Swift, Stone Sister, and Scarlett Johansson had reined themselves in a bit.
They no longer teamed up, no longer guarding against every woman around Xu Can like thieves.
It was simply impossible to guard against them all.
Their lives had become normal again, eating and sleeping as usual,
And they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding: each of them took turns dating Xu Can, while the other two turned a blind eye.
The original state of the three attacking each other had transformed into a loose alliance formed by the three.
The principle of this alliance was that if Xu Can was well-fed, perhaps he wouldn't cheat outside.
Little did they know, Xu Can had already eaten.
Thus, while Xu Can was preparing for the filming of X-Men: First Class and the independent film birdman,
spider-man 3: sinister six also held its global premiere!
Chapter 154: Spider-Man 3 Premiere! Battle Kingpin!
The premiere of spider-man 3: sinister six was as usual.
Due to Sony's leadership, this premiere was entirely planned by Sony, so Xu Can finally didn't have to worry anymore, he could relax mindlessly and enjoy the night.
His red carpet partner was naturally his original CP, Emma Stone.
Due to the Spider-Man and Gwen CP, Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson were temporarily unable to accompany Xu Can on the red carpet.
After an unknown period, Emma Stone finally had the chance to have Xu Can all to herself.
"It feels like the past days can't come back."
On the red carpet, Emma Stone was a little emotional.
She suddenly remembered her first red carpet experience with Xu Can at the premiere of spider-man 1.
At that time, they weren't truly a couple, and they only had each other.
Unfortunately, now, Xu Can has more and more women around him, which gave Emma Stone a strong sense of crisis.
If it weren't for Xu Can's favoritism, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
"Since the past can't come back, then I'll work with you to make the future better."
Xu Can looked into Emma Stone's eyes seriously.
Even though she knew it was a cheap line, Emma Stonewas still touched.
That's how women are; as long as she likes you, no fancy words are needed; even the most untechnical words can move her.
"Hmph, always trying to coax people."
Emma Stone complained, but tightened her grip on Xu Can's arm.
Having walked countless red carpets in the past two years, Xu Can had gone from being blinded by the flashlights at the beginning to now being at ease and composed.
Finally, after a series of procedures, the two and the Spider-Man 3 creative team arrived at the premiere hall.
The packed screening hall for spider-man 1 was exactly the same now, and the Spider-Man poster on the big screen made moviegoers feel as if a lifetime had passed.
In the blink of an eye, Spider-Man has been out for over 3 years, almost 4 years!
Xu Can was also very emotional, having been in this world for so long!
From a down-and-out acting student who was kicked out, an Asian kid who ran errands,
To now, establishing an entertainment empire and becoming a giant about to dominate Hollywood!
The changes in 4 years were too fast, something he couldn't even imagine before!
Now, Xu Can is getting closer and closer to his goal.
After Spider-Man 3 is finished, he will first begin filming birdman.
After fully mastering all photography techniques and integrating his divine Director skills, divine acting, and internal cultivation,
At the latest by May 2010! Xu Can will begin filming the three-body problem!
He will bring this sci-fi work to the big screen in its original form, giving the world a little shock!
Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, sensing Xu Can's vision for the future.
Emma Stone held his hand, and a deep look was enough to show that she would be by Xu Can's side, accompanying him to complete such a feat!
The cinema darkened, and the movie officially began!
…
[Produced by Sony/Columbia Pictures]
[Co-produced by Star River Pictures]
The Sony logo, the Columbia Goddess opening animation, and Star River Pictures' space warp animation played consecutively.
The Columbia Goddess animation also included an easter egg this time.
This easter egg showed space flickering several times, and the Columbia Goddess's position suddenly tore open,
Gwen Stacy, Spider-Gwen, emerged from it.
This foreshadowed the previous movie's easter egg, as well as the main content!
"OK, let's do this again."
"My name is Peter Parker, and I'm the one and only Spider-Man…"
The opening was similar to the trailer.
Peter Parker summarized the rough plot of the first two films in a playful tone.
The background maintained the consistent style of the new Spider-Man,
Using a comic book format to depict past stories.
This time, Xu Can upgraded the comic style, making the visual style consistent with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse!
The live audience was overwhelmed by this art style, where colors were used to the extreme, causing goosebumps!
Especially those interested in art, they were almost in tears!
"If only this comic style could be made into a feature-length animation."
"Exactly! If a feature-length animation comes out, I'll be the first to buy a ticket!"
The media and film critics present were also shocked.
At the beginning of the film, still in the opening credits phase, Xu Can actually dared to spend heavily on such a technologically advanced animation production!
The technology wasn't difficult; what was difficult was this 3D-rendered 2D and boldly avant-garde hip-hop art design!
An animation that would still shock the world in 2018 was a shockwave in 2010!
Xu Can also considered that if the parallel world could accept this style,
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse could also be put on the agenda.
At that time, Spider-Man would no longer belong to Sony, but Star River Entertainment would exclusively own the copyright!
With more and more movies to arrange, Xu Can was almost falling into sweet trouble.
The worry wasn't a lack of content to film, but too much content to filter and choose from!
…
After a series of opening introductions, the film officially began!
The scene shifted, starting with a handsome close-up of Xu Can.
Peter was lying in bed when he suddenly heard the police radio.
"NYPD units, proceed immediately to Fisk Tower! Wilson Fisk, a suspect with multiple charges, is resisting arrest with force, requesting backup!"
Peter Parker immediately woke up, his face unshaven and looking a bit haggard.
The audience vaguely saw a hint of the assassin John Wick.
It seems Gwen's death in the previous movie really hit Peter Parker hard!
After Peter Parker got up, he used his homemade automatic toaster to make breakfast.
He quickly found his Spider-Man suit, smelled it, and it seemed to have a bit of an odor.
This moment instantly made the Hero relatable and incredibly endearing.
As he changed, the camera swept across a series of photos.
Peter Parker in a graduation gown, graduating high school, and a close photo with Gwen,
Peter Parker's photo with Dr. Octopus Octavius in college,
Gwen's memorial photo,
Peter Parker's lonely solo graduation photo after graduating college,
And his work ID as a researcher in a white lab coat at Stark Industries!
To ensure the audience didn't miss this detail, the camera deliberately lingered on the work ID for an extra two seconds.
"What?"
"No way"
Stark Industries!
Not Osborn Industries, not Pym Industries, but Stark Industries!
The position on the work ID showed him as an intern in the Applied Biotechnology Research and Development Department at Stark Industries.
A single shot revealed the background of Spider-Man 3's story!
Peter Parker had already graduated from college and become a working adult.
From the look of his rental apartment, as an intern, he probably wasn't getting paid and was living on part-time jobs.
Because the camera swept over a corner of the bed, showing a pizza delivery vest.
On the table were notices for unpaid utility bills and rent.
Without explicitly introducing the background, Xu Canhad already conveyed Peter Parker's situation.
Even if he was Spider-Man, a Hero, Peter, as an ordinary person, wasn't doing well.
He was even a bit down and out.
The camera moved to the window; in just a few seconds, Peter was fully prepared, wearing his Spider-Man suit.
With a flick of web, he stuck to the toasted bread, and Peter leaped out of the window!
Immediately after, Spider-Man swung on his web, arriving at the Fisk Tower!
Wilson Fisk, as the head of the Fisk Corporation, was also the leader of New York's underground forces!
His crimes were heinous!
His nickname sent shivers down the spine of the entire New York City!
Kingpin!
Helicopters hovered above Fisk Tower, and SWAT teams had completely surrounded the building.
On-site reporters were explaining the situation to the audience:
"Recently, Wilson Fisk has been accused of over 160 serious felonies, including murder, extortion, smuggling, trafficking of illegal weapons, and robbery!"
"Prosecution agencies have received anonymous tips and concrete evidence, and have grasped all of Fisk's criminal facts."
"However, Fisk's armed forces resisted arrest and took hostages. SWAT team members have arrived and are taking rescue measures. CNN is reporting live from the scene!"
Spider-Man crouched on the rooftop next to Fisk Tower, the building's reflection shimmering in his lenses.
It was clear that the anonymous tipster was Spider-Manhimself.
Seeing that SWAT officers were suffering casualties and Fisk Tower's armed forces were well-equipped,
Spider-Man knew it was time for him to make an appearance!
To catch the bandit, first catch the king!
He swung across, breaking through the top-floor glass with a magnificent move, heading straight for Kingpin himself!
"Wow!"
The moment they saw Kingpin, the audience in the cinema gasped.
Kingpin was not the main villain of Spider-Man 3; he was just a minor character at the beginning.
But Xu Can still spent a lot of money to create incredibly realistic special effects!
The actor for Kingpin was Vincent D'Onofrio, who played Kingpin in the Netflix series Daredevil in his previous life.
And with the special effects, his height exceeded 2 meters! He looked like a mountain standing in front of Peter Parker!
"You shouldn't be here, little bug."
Evidently, in the years between Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 5833, the two had many direct conflicts.
And for this storyline, Xu Can had already produced a 15-minute short film, revealing the conflict between Spider-Man and Kingpin, to supplement the story background.
"Oh, Mr. Fisk, you're such a naughty boy. Do you really think you can get away with it?"
"None of your business! The tip-off was clearly sent by you!"
"Anonymous tip-off, who knows who it was? Maybe some enthusiastic New York citizen!"
"Damn it!"
Kingpin looked like a big Fat Man, but in reality, he was all muscle!
This setting was a bit absurd, but it didn't hinder his astonishing combat power!
Less than 3 minutes into the film, the first major battle began!
Spider-Man and Kingpin caused all sorts of destruction in the cramped office, it was like they were fighting the Hulk!
Kingpin had great strength, so Spider-Man used nimble movements to dodge and look for opportunities to counterattack!
While fighting, Spider-Man didn't forget to trash talk, using words to mentally pollute.
"You need to lose weight, sir, you're too slow!"
"That punch was good, but you broke that thing, don't blame me."
"What a pity, that vase must have been expensive, right?"
Kingpin grew angrier and angrier as they fought, eventually losing his mind and making an overly large movement, which Spider-Man seized upon.
Using his web to create a slingshot, he delivered a charged flying kick directly to Kingpin's mandible, knocking him unconscious to the ground.
Sure enough, every time a Hero finished fighting, the NYPD would arrive late.
Fully armed SWAT officers surrounded Kingpin, and Spider-Man tiredly pointed to the large, web-covered man on the ground.
"He's all yours. I need to go catch up on some sleep."
The NYPD had a good relationship with him, and one officer even high-fived Spider-Man.
Spider-Man leaped down from the top floor of Fisk Tower,
followed by another dazzling first-person spydercam shot that left the audience cheering.
[Spider-Man III: Sinister Six]
The title of spider-man 3: sinister six appeared!
The entire audience was thrilled!
Spider-Man 3 was indeed fully upgraded!
Just the opening fight with Kingpin was so cool; how much more enjoyable would the fight with the Sinister Sixbe later?
Chapter 155: Spider-Man and Gwen's Century Meeting! The Sinister Six Arrive!
spider-man 3: sinister six
This was a movie that Xu Can had never seen in his previous life.
The Toby Maguire Spider-Man trilogy was classic, but it had some minor flaws.
The Marvel Tom Holland trilogy wasn't really about Spider-Man, but rather Tony Stark's good son.
The Garfield The Amazing Spider-Man duology also had significant flaws, but it still had a certain number of fans.
Everyone had been waiting for The Amazing Spider-Man3, waiting for Garfield's Spider-Man.
Unfortunately, this The Amazing Spider-Man 3 collapsed midway through its venture, becoming a regret for many movie fans.
Xu Can had also wondered what would have happened if the Sinister Six had actually been filmed back then.
There was no way, now there was no reference, everything could only rely on himself.
The Director was indeed Mark Webb, but the screenwriter, producer, and lead actor were all himself.
The co-Director was also himself!
Mark Webb's creativity was completely suppressed by Xu Can.
But Mark Webb himself was happy about it; Xu Can was an Academy Award for Best Director, so it didn't matter if the film bore his mark.
Mark Webb just needed to be responsible for shipping and fangirling on set.
This Spider-Man 3 was equivalent to Xu Can's original work, accumulating some experience for the subsequent original The Three-Body Problem.
...
Spider-Man's capture of the villain Kingpin was just an appetizer in the movie.
After Kingpin was imprisoned, the main story had just begun!
A series of news reports described the background of the story.
Peter originally thought that by capturing Kingpin, he could wipe out New York's underground forces and reduce crime throughout the city.
But he was still too naive.
Imprisoning one underground force would not completely eliminate crime; instead, it would be replaced by other forces.
Various gangs, big and small, gradually appeared in New York City, carving up Kingpin's territory.
Due to the lack of sufficiently strong restraint and regulation, these new gang members were simply lawless!
To break out of prison, they even caused damage to New York's most important maximum-security prison!
The film then used a cool, fast-cut, multi-linear narrative,
introducing the origin stories of each member of the Sinister Six with the most concise shots.
...
First, Little Green Goblin.
After the prison was damaged, "Little Green Goblin" Harry Osborn escaped in the chaos, his body glowing green, clearly having been eroded by the Green Goblinpersonality.
After escaping, he broke into a laboratory controlled by Osborn Technology and stole Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms.
...
Meanwhile, as Little Green Goblin was acting at Osborn Technology, he triggered an alarm in the corporate building.
When the alarm sounded, engineer Max was debugging equipment in the energy laboratory.
The sudden alarm triggered the lab's lockdown procedure, and Max was accidentally sealed into a bio-energy generator. After powerful electric current stimulation and mutation,
Max's body was decomposed, turning into pure electricity, able to move freely within the electrical grid!
Electro was born!
Many serious criminals escaped from the destroyed prison.
Sandman, played by former WWE wrestler Zhao Xina, accidentally entered the experimental site, and her body was decomposed into fine sand,
evolving into Sandman!
...
After The Avengers' New York battle, Chitauri weapons were scattered everywhere.
Vulture, as a S.H.I.E.L.D. contractor, was responsible for leading his company to retrieve the weapons.
Unfortunately, S.H.I.E.L.D. went back on their word and refused to pay Vulture.
Vulture simply held back some of the weapons to develop his own power.
The moment he put on his wings marked the birth of the villain Vulture!
...
Mysterio was once an employee of Stark Industries, and was once casually rebuffed by Tony Stark.
He regarded it as a great humiliation and began stealing Stark Industries' drones to create realistic special effects scenes.
Mysterio hoped to become a superhero like Spider-Manand Iron Man, adored by the world.
But with his mindset darkened, he planned to destroy these superheroes through illusions and mold himself into a true Hero.
So Mysterio decided to start with Spider-Man!
...
After Little Green Goblin snatched Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms, he skillfully arrived at Osborn Group headquarters.
Doctor Octopus's body was preserved in the OsbornMedical Center.
At the end of the previous movie, Doctor Octopus sank to the bottom of the Hudson River to destroy the nuclear fusion device.
He was salvaged by the Coast Guard and narrowly escaped death, but his brain was deprived of oxygen for too long, leaving him in a vegetative state and receiving treatment at Osborn Technology.
Little Green Goblin found the comatose Doctor Octopusin the ward and installed the mechanical arms on him.
Suddenly, Doctor Octopus opened his eyes, which glowed crimson!
...
By this point, all members of the Sinister Six had appeared!
As everyone knows, the Sinister Six has 7 members.
There's also Rhino, wearing kinetic armor, who is committing crimes all over New York City with fanatical gang members.
Peter Parker had no idea that the moment he sent Kingpin to prison, New York City became even more chaotic!
Full of dangers!
At this time, Peter Parker was still busy with his own life,
interning at Stark Industries during the day, enduring difficulties from his superiors and senior colleagues.
Peter clearly possessed extremely high scientific research talent,
but the employees of Stark Industries were arrogant and looked down on this 'ordinary' young man, making him buy coffee, run errands, and occasionally making things difficult for Peter.
To become a full-time employee at Stark Industries and achieve his scientific research dreams, Peter Parker could only endure this unfair treatment.
After work, Peter Parker also had to work part-time as a photographer for The Daily Bugle and squeeze in time to deliver pizzas.
The editor-in-chief of The Daily Bugle always chewed on a cigar, deducted Peter's pay, and self-righteously slandered Spider-Man.
"It's because of Spider-Man that he sent Fisk to prison, but New York City hasn't gotten better, it's gotten worse!"
"He's the worm in the whole of New York! I told you to take pictures of him harming New York, what did you shoot? Deduct 50 dollars!"
...
While Peter Parker was busy struggling for a living, he had to play Spider-Man and uphold justice at night.
The villain Vulture was organizing people to raid S.H.I.E.L.D.'s armory, which contained Chitauri weapons confiscated by S.H.I.E.L.D..
When they caused an explosion and made a big commotion, Spider-Man heard the police radio and quickly rushed to the scene, engaging in a big battle with Vulture.
"Sir, these things are S.H.I.E.L.D.'s property. Didn't your teacher teach you not to touch other people's things?"
"None of your business?"
Vulture was very angry and swooped down from the air, only to be caught in Spider-Man's trap and entangled in webs.
Just as Spider-Man was about to arrest Vulture,
"Heheheheheh—"
A familiar voice sounded, and Little Green Goblin, Harry Osborn, arrived on his glider, cutting the web and forcing Spider-Man back.
"Harry!!!"
Peter Parker glared at him!
If it weren't for Little Green Goblin, Gwen wouldn't have died!
Spider-Man was about to fire webs to fight him, but the next second, mechanical octopus arms suddenly appeared from behind, entangling Peter!
This scene used a horror movie jumpscare technique, the sudden attack from the shadows startled all the audience!
Spider-Man, fighting one against three, immediately fell into danger!
"Dr. Octavius, you're not dead? It's me!"
Peter Parker still wanted to awaken Doctor Octopus's consciousness, but he was in a vegetative state, completely controlled by the darkened mechanical arms.
Fortunately, a police car arrived at the critical moment, and a Black police officer pulled out his gun and shot Doctor Octopus, saving Spider-Man.
Seeing more and more police cars, Little Green Goblinand Vulture quickly fled the scene with Doctor Octopus.
The little spider lay on the ground, panting heavily.
"Are you okay?"
The Black police officer kindly pulled Spider-Man up.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, you're also contributing to New York. And, my son is your fan."
"Oh? Really, what's his name?"
"Miles."
"He must be a very smart young man."
"Yes, he's my pride."
Xu Can buried a small Easter egg here, setting the stage for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Miles Morales, the Black Spider from Earth-1610.
After this battle, Peter Parker realized the danger.
The chaos in New York led to the appearance of more villains.
He wanted to contact Tony Stark through Stark Industriesand have The Avengers step in.
Unfortunately, he could never reach Stark, and the other members of The Avengers (Zhao Ma Zhao) had also disappeared.
Peter Parker took off his mask, dragged his tired body onto a skyscraper, and looked at the New York City night view and the commotion in the distance.
He felt somewhat powerless, but then his eyes became firm again.
"Even without the help of The Avengers, I can save this city! That's right, you're the best, Peter Parker!"
"Is that really not awkward to say?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind!
The moment they heard this voice, the entire audience's brains tingled!
Peter Parker himself had a 'Peter tingle'!
Under the effect of his spider-sense, Peter suddenly turned his head.
As the camera suddenly shook, that familiar figure stood gracefully in front of him.
Gwen Stacy!
"No-way! Impossible! Gwen?"
"Hi, Peter of this universe."
Gwen Stacy greeted Peter Parker with three parts surprise, three parts restraint, and three parts awkwardness.
The entire audience was stunned!
"Ohhhhhhh!"
"It's really Gwen!"
Those who have seen the Easter egg know that Gwen Stacy traveled to a parallel universe.
But when Gwen really appeared, the audience couldn't help but cheer!
The whole place instantly erupted!.
