Chapter 181: Intimate Roadshow, Screen CP Becomes Real?
Taylor Swift also watched the live stream intently in front of the screen.
She felt a slight pang of jealousy.
The hand holding the coffee cup tightened slightly.
The takeout coffee cup couldn't withstand such force, and coffee spilled all over the floor.
Her agent rushed over.
"Why be so jealous? You know Xu Can was never an ordinary fish in a pond!"
Taking the tissue from her agent's hand, she gently wiped the stains from her hands.
Taylor Swift looked up at the screen.
"Do you think they are a good match?"
"Of course not as good a match as you two. Xu Can has only ever publicly acknowledged one girlfriend, and that's you. For him, you are the most unique, and you will always have a place in his heart!"
These words resonated with Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift had never imagined she would have a unique place in Xu Can's heart; she was indeed content with "four five three."
But she couldn't help but feel a little jealous, after all, in Taylor Swift's heart, her unique tenderness was all for Xu Can.
To think that a favored son of heaven, a god of cinema, would only have herself in his heart was probably impossible.
But as soon as she thought that Xu Can did have her in his heart, Taylor Swift let go of her jealousy.
Xu Can's manner of protecting women in front of others was truly captivating.
If Xu Can hadn't protected Scarlett Johansson in the live stream today, but instead allowed others to bully her, then this man wouldn't be the Xu Can she loved most!
Soon, she resolved her emotions.
The host quickly tried to ease the atmosphere in the live stream.
"We completely understand everyone's desire to communicate with our main cast, but please organize your words carefully and absolutely do not mistakenly blurt out teasing remarks!"
"Everyone's interpretation of these words is different, and it's easy to inadvertently hurt others. Everyone must speak cautiously, otherwise, we will have to end this call-in segment!"
The threatening tone was actually quite playful.
Those in the live stream who hadn't been called in yet were very anxious.
"You can't do that, we haven't connected yet, how can our opportunity be affected by a few scumbags!"
"I've waited so long, I'm just waiting for this call-in now. I've liked Xu Can for a long time, I watch every one of his movies, I must talk to him!"
"I have a few movie details I want to discuss with Xu Can, I wonder if I can give him some suggestions!"
"This segment is going too fast, just because of those few scumbags, it's affecting us. We'll demand a refund for our movie tickets then!"
"The movie is still very good, and your after-sales service is indeed unique, unlike other movies. I will continue to support every one of your movies!"
Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, the host then drew a lucky viewer.
As soon as the call connected, the other party seemed very nervous.
The words coming through the microphone were stuttering.
"Don't be nervous, audience member. First, tell us, what should we call you?"
"My surname is Zhou. I'm sorry, I was too nervous just now and hadn't calmed down. I'm much better now!"
"No problem, take a moment to organize your words and tell us what you'd like to say to our lead actor!"
Everyone was filled with anticipation!
The voice from the microphone suddenly soared.
The emotions were incredibly high.
"The fight scenes in this movie are, in my opinion, the current ceiling—absolutely peak level. Every punch landing on flesh is just too good to watch!"
"The plot is exciting, the action scenes are brilliant, and the two lead actors are so handsome and beautiful. I absolutely love it!"
Xu Can couldn't help but grin.
Taylor Swift was a little shy, but due to her role, she still had to maintain a poised and generous demeanor.
"It seems you truly love my movie!"
"Of course! I watched both the afternoon and evening showings. The conflict between good and evil was exceptionally well-portrayed by Xu Can in the script, especially the close-quarters combat scene between the two under the bridge—I particularly loved that part. I feel like many famous quotes will come out of it, and it will definitely serve as a cinematic masterpiece for everyone!"
Subsequently, every audience member's speech was exceptionally insightful.
Xu Can and Scarlett Johansson performed their most classic scene live, further.
This sent the live stream's popularity soaring to a climax.
It was hard to imagine that the popularity surged from hundreds of thousands to millions as soon as the broadcast started!
Especially since the popularity of live streaming itself wasn't that strong yet.
But Xu Can pioneered post-movie live streams.
As the event concluded, everyone was reluctant to leave...
They left messages on the bullet screen comments.
But happy times are always short-lived.
Xu Can and the others were also a bit tired from their long hours of work.
"We'll see you again at the roadshows in a few days. The events will also be live-streamed simultaneously, so viewers who can't come to the corresponding cities can also watch in our live stream room!"
A single smile captivated all the audience members present.
"Ah, that's really great!"
"Don't you think Xu Can and Scarlett Johansson look really good together in one frame!"
"I can't wait to see them!"
In a flash, the popularity of the live stream continued for several days.
At the same time, tonight marked the end of 10 days, the time when box office revenues could be recalculated.
This afternoon's roadshow was also extremely important.
Everyone was looking forward to it.
Xu Can ran into Scarlett Johansson as he walked out of the lounge.
"Today's casual wear makes me feel a bit unaccustomed."
Scarlett Johansson looked at Xu Can with a smitten expression.
"This khaki jacket paired with a white inner layer really suits you."
Xu Can's shoulders were exceptionally broad due to his fitness.
The entire jacket was filled out, and he walked with an imposing presence.
As soon as they arrived at the venue, the cheers were so loud they seemed to pierce eardrums.
Getting close to Xu Can, some people could no longer control their excitement.
"Ah! So handsome!"
"Oh my goodness, how can there be such a perfect man!"
The host at the venue was hired temporarily.
This city's roadshow was an impromptu addition because the cheers from this city were simply too overwhelming!
They hadn't communicated with the host about the segment beforehand.
On site, they were actually asked to describe their love by kissing using a forced perspective.
Even just a forced perspective could make people believe in true love.
Xu Can turned his head and asked verbally.
"Is that okay?"
Scarlett Johansson nodded without hesitation.
The people on site instantly fell silent, afraid to break the atmosphere.
The pounding of hearts was probably the clearest sound everyone could hear at that moment.
Xu Can lowered his head and shielded Scarlett Johanssonbehind him; from the audience, all that could be seen was the image of them kissing.
Chapter 182: A Dream Island Trip for Taylor Swift, You Are Still My Favorite!
In an instant, the applause and cheers at the scene blended together.
This roadshow truly delivered genuine benefits.
"This is great! Look, seeing such a behind-the-scenes surprise from them both means I didn't come for nothing!"
"This is truly moving from the movie into reality. If they really got together, I think we'd be even happier!"
"There's nothing to be happy or unhappy about; it's all just for acting. They just want to make money. Do you really think they'd be so intimate in front of us? After all, Xu Can has a girlfriend!"
At this moment, Taylor Swift looked at the two on the screen in front of her, and she actually felt a little resentment, but she had to support Xu Can's identity and work!
The most important thing for two people in a relationship is tolerance.
Especially for someone like Xu Can.
"Everyone should have received the benefits you most desired today, right? This roadshow was specially arranged for your cheers, and we hope it satisfies everyone!"
After the host said a few simple words, Xu Can and the others were allowed to leave.
All the promised benefits had been delivered. Scarlett Johansson was very shy; she hadn't expected Xu Can to be willing to engage in such intimate behavior with her, especially in front of everyone. The two of them had created a sensational movie benefit battle at the roadshow.
"Many people are now afraid that their movies will also have to be made with such a scale, but not everyone is like that!"
Scarlett Johansson asked cautiously from the side.
"I remember you never used to care what they said. Why are you trying to please them now?"
The makeup artist beside him quickly helped Xu Canremove his makeup.
Xu Can didn't like having a layer of something on his face all the time.
Today, he had applied a little makeup to match the movie's styling.
The makeup artist politely put down her things and left.
Xu Can smiled slightly, not immediately addressing Scarlett Johansson, but first washing his face.
Only after feeling refreshed did he reply to what she had just said.
"Currently, the box office is quite important for this movie. It can bring us huge box office profits, so I won't treat it the same way as before!"
Movie?
So it was just because of the movie's box office.
"Then do you have time tonight…"
Xu Can hadn't even clearly heard what Scarlett Johansson said when his phone rang.
Seeing his fiancée's name on the screen, Xu Can couldn't help but smile.
Scarlett Johansson had never seen such an expression on his face when he looked at other women.
This time, she didn't even feel like saying what she had just started to say.
Taylor Swift still held a very significant place in Xu Can's heart.
"When are you coming back tonight? It should be over soon. I'll drive back right away. I've already sent the driver home."
"Wait for me obediently at home. The subsequent vacation arrangements have been made!"
Scarlett Johansson knew her place very well now; she couldn't default or be lacking, otherwise, she would annoy Xu Can and lose even the right to stand beside him.
"Since you have other plans, I'll be going first."
Xu Can nodded gently; after all, the call was still connected, so he couldn't say much.
As a woman, Taylor Swift's The Sixth Sense suddenly became very sensitive.
"So your work isn't over yet?"
"Oh, someone's getting jealous! We just finished work and are about to leave. Go home and wait for me obediently, and bring all your pretty clothes!"
"Why do I need to bring pretty clothes? Are you taking me somewhere?"
"You'll know when the time comes. I can't tell you too much about a surprise!"
The moment Taylor Swift arrived at the villa entrance, she excitedly came out of the Room.
"I already saw it! When did you arrange all this? I've wanted to travel to this island for a long time but never had the time. You actually arranged a private plane to take me!"
Taylor Swift clung tightly to Xu Can.
Xu Can buried his head in her golden hair.
"Because you will always be my favorite. Don't doubt my affection for you. We can depart now!"
The reporters had been following Xu Can closely since he left the event site.
They wanted to dig up more information about him.
"That's strange, he didn't go to any other women; he just stayed with his girlfriend. This isn't right. Is he really that well-behaved?"
"Alright, did you bring me here just to prove how loving they are? You said there was something that could help you turn things around, but I think you can forget about it. If you've offended Xu Can, you won't be able to survive in this industry for the rest of your life!"
Xu Can embraced Taylor Swift and walked to the plane parking lot behind the villa. This villa was extremely luxurious, but Zhang reporter and the others had snuck in through a dog hole nearby!
"I didn't go through all that trouble climbing through a dog hole with you just to watch them flirt here. Don't call me over for things you're not sure about in the future. I don't need to suffer with you here!"
Zhang reporter could only crawl back. He was holed up in his rental house.
The walls were covered with photos of Xu Can and other women, especially photos where Xu Can smiled exceptionally brightly.
And now, having been blacklisted by the industry, he was especially down and out.
He could only fiercely slash Xu Can's face with a knife, vowing to make him pay the price.
Based on their conversation and the helicopter, Zhang reporter roughly figured out their itinerary.
This island could be reached by boat, and planes were a high-end luxury only accessible to the wealthy.
When Xu Can and his group arrived, the dreamy island had already been meticulously prepared.
Xu Can did not book the entire island; that would make it seem lifeless.
"Oh my god, you even changed it to my favorite color! When did you become so thoughtful?"
Taylor Swift nestled in Xu Can's arms.
Xu Can's hand gently tapped Taylor Swift's nose.
"It's just because I've neglected you too much recently. I want you to feel my sincerity."
"As long as I'm always in your heart, nothing else matters!"
"You'll always be in my heart!"
Although there were people coming and going, there weren't too many.
Zhang reporter blended into the crowd, his knife hidden in his sleeve.
Xu Can and Taylor Swift were enjoying their sweet time together.
Neither of them noticed the danger approaching.
But when the person in black clothes approached, Xu Canstill looked at him carefully.
Just as they were about to brush past each other, a surge of killing intent struck, and Xu Can instinctively took two steps back, revealing the knife tip instantly.
Taylor Swift screamed and recoiled in terror.
"Help! Someone, quick!"
Slap!
He tried to knock the reporter's knife away.
But unexpectedly, he had taped the knife to his hand.
A sinister smile appeared on the reporter's face.
Chapter 183: Horrifying Murder Scene, A Turning Point of Fate Appears?
To protect Taylor Swift, Xu Can turned and pushed her aside.
Even with his back turned, Xu Can could judge the movements of the person behind him by their breathing.
With just one kick, he sent the person flying dozens of meters away.
Xu Can was thoroughly enraged.
With Taylor Swift by his side, he still dared to attack him.
"Pfft!"
Blood instantly gushed out onto the ground.
Zhang reporter hadn't expected Xu Can to have such power. He had originally thought he could quietly approach and stab the dagger into his heart.
The dagger was discovered before it even got close; the opponent's perception must be extremely strong.
"Didn't I tell you not to anger me again, or you wouldn't even know how you died!"
"You were able to track me here, so you must have used a lot of connections. If you put that much effort into your work, you wouldn't be in this predicament now!"
Xu Can continued to hit him, but he was afraid of dirtying his own hands.
"You've left me jobless, stuck in a basement. I'll never forget this hatred. Even if I can't kill you now, I will definitely kill you in the future!"
Zhang reporter struggled to support his body.
Even though his body was a bit weak now, he would still try to stand up and not let anyone get close to him!
More and more onlookers gathered. They heard there was a fight and came to watch the commotion, but when they saw the dagger, some immediately called the police without hesitation.
Xu Can didn't want to cause a big incident here; he just came for a vacation, but he didn't expect Zhang reporterto follow him.
Taylor Swift was very worried on the side.
She had intended to relax, but instead, she brought more trouble to Xu Can. If they were in the Capital, the bodyguards beside him could probably take down Zhang reporter.
Xu Can glared fiercely at Zhang reporter!
Their personal feud had escalated to this point.
"I never intended to lay a hand on you; it was your constant malicious speculation about me that led to your own downfall~"
"If you lay a hand on anyone close to me again, it won't be as easy as just this kick today!"
The onlookers gasped.
Such vicious words were indeed uncommon.
"What kind of hatred and resentment could make them argue like this? And their accents don't sound like people from around here!"
"He kicked someone so hard they coughed up blood; this person is too vicious! Did he steal his wife?"
"Didn't you see his wife right there? Say less of such things in the future, or it might lead to disaster!"
But unexpectedly, some people still recognized Xu Can, after all, his title as the God of Film was not for nothing.
Having appeared at various award ceremonies and on screens for so long, Xu Can would be recognized even if he wore a hat.
"I was so busy looking at the person lying on the ground just now that I didn't realize it was Xu Can. This man must have angered Xu Can!"
"He's a major movie star; how could he casually hurt someone!"
"It seems the person on the ground is a reporter. I forget where I saw him, but he had some past grievances with Xu Can. To chase Xu Can all the way to a vacation spot to harm him, this reporter is quite something!"
"Should we post this online so everyone knows Xu Canwas harmed?"
Xu Can didn't even have time to check his surroundings; he quickly pulled down his hat and prepared to leave.
As soon as he returned to their accommodation, he found that the internet was abuzz with news of what had just happened.
Taylor Swift was very distressed.
"It's all my fault. If we hadn't come to this island for vacation, you wouldn't have been in danger. Now the internet is full of accusations against you; they don't understand the situation behind it!"
Xu Can shook his head; these things were bound to happen.
Regardless of whether they came here or not, such inevitable harm would occur.
Xu Can had to clarify the full story of this incident, otherwise, it would severely impact their upcoming film plans.
Their next major film was not yet released, and they were in need of people.
"I will definitely clarify for you. I'll use my personal account to explain the ins and outs of this matter, which will allow them to understand the story behind this incident from another perspective!"
Xu Can did not stop her.
He knew that only by clarifying from multiple angles could he clear his name.
More and more people knowing about what happened here would only blacken his name, not clarify it.
"Use your personal account. After all, outsiders now know that we are in a relationship. Even if some people know you're protecting me, fans will believe me from your perspective!"
When the reporter saw all the sympathetic messages about himself online, he prepared to use the momentum to harm Xu Can once more.
Only by portraying himself as a victim could he bring down Xu Can.
Now he lay in the hospital, his entire chest bone almost shattered from the kick.
His weak appearance was most likely to elicit sympathy from others.
~I'm recording this video today just to tell everyone the truth. Many people think Xu Can is a movie god, with no bad habits, but when I met him during my travels, I just wanted to get an autograph, but he kicked me to the ground!"
"This harm is irreversible, especially the shadow left in my heart, which will never heal!"
"I strongly urge everyone to help me get justice, otherwise, someone else will definitely suffer the same fate as me in the future. I hope everyone can take this seriously!"
The video was quickly uploaded, and everyone believed it was an act of bullying. They thought Xu Can should no longer appear as a Director or actor in front of the public.
Otherwise, more people would be bullied.
However, a large portion of people believed Xu Can.
"This Zhang reporter is truly a villain who strikes first! He was clearly holding a knife, and now he's portraying himself as a victim. Who is he acting for?!"
"This is how we understand what kind of person Xu Canis. Those who don't understand will only be misled by others. They will think that such behavior seriously affects the atmosphere of the entertainment industry!"
"The film industry would have long since declined without Xu Can. If it weren't for Xu Can bringing us so many excellent works, do they think they would still have anything good to watch?!"
"We must find evidence to help Xu Can, otherwise Xu Can will definitely be harmed by them!"
Xu Can also scrolled through the online comments, appearing calm on the surface. He was still on the island and had not left.
Chapter 184: Kristen Stewart Visits, Cooperation Opportunity Begins!
Although no one on the island knew exactly where he lived.
Most of the reporters were gathered at the airport.
The reporters firmly believed that he would definitely leave from the airport and return to his company to seek cooperation from the company's public relations department.
"I've been waiting here for two days, why hasn't he come back yet? Is he going to stay on that island for so many days?!"
"Maybe they're working remotely. Even if we block the airport, we might not be able to track Xu Can's movements. And smart people wouldn't try to block him this way; they would have already quietly contacted his company's employees!"
A reporter next to him, rubbing his hands to keep warm, quickly said.
"We can't get in touch with anyone in their company at all. Even if we do, they all fully support their boss. Not a single person has changed their tune. Xu Can's influence is really quite large; everyone has been misled by him!"
"That's not necessarily true. What if what they're saying is the truth? As reporters, our main job is to inform the public of the real situation, not for the leaders to prejudge that what Zhang reporter said is correct. He's portraying himself as a 427 victim to slander Xu Can, and the truth of this matter could also exist!"
Kristen Stewart saw Xu Can being besieged.
She dialed the phone without any hesitation.
She knew that Xu Can needed the support of more celebrities now to get through this difficult time. Only with everyone's strong backing could he possibly change the fans' impression.
"Why don't you clarify quickly? If you need my help, you can say so anytime!"
When he received the call, Xu Can leaned leisurely in his chair.
It seemed as if he wasn't the central figure in the online debate.
He looked out the window at the sun and said indifferently, "Adversity reveals true friendship. I want to see who can stand by me at this time and actively help me, instead of me having to beg them."
"Those who wait for me to beg them definitely want to see me make a fool of myself at such a crucial moment. Such people are absolutely not sincere towards me."
Indeed, several people had already called, mostly the Superbad actors he had collaborated with.
Some staff members had sent messages of support early on.
Xu Can quietly noted them all down, ensuring they would not be without benefits.
"Now everyone should have gradually sent messages of support for me. You can also send yours, and as I promised you before, I will still let you play Mystique in X-Men."
A very colorful character, though extremely skilled, also a ruthless existence.
Although Kristen Stewart was pleasantly surprised, she was equally worried about Xu Can.
"Although now is not the time to say these things, I am still very grateful to you. I will immediately issue a statement to support you!"
Before Xu Can had any response, almost all influential celebrities helped Xu Can vouch for him.
Xu Can was not a ruthless person, and he was very sincere to everyone in the industry.
A capable and sincere person is easily envied by others.
Gao Yuanyuan was the first to issue a statement for Xu Can.
"The Xu Can I know is a serious, responsible person with a promising future. Such people are more likely to be envied by others. I hope everyone can start from their true inner thoughts and not be influenced by others. Any scene appearing in the video could be synthesized!"
Taylor Swift, as his girlfriend, had already posted at the first opportunity.
She had prepared a lot of material, all showing Xu Can's meticulous care for small animals in his daily life, and his attention to extras during his daily work.
"Originally, I secretly recorded all of these just for myself, but I didn't expect them to come in handy now!"
Taylor Swift sat in Xu Can's arms, looking out the window. After posting, the two of them enjoyed the sunset together.
It was as if the noisy scene had finally come to an end.
"Someone has already released the video from the scene that day. I didn't expect multiple angles to be exposed. Why didn't they upload these videos they shot from the beginning?!"
Taylor Swift was surprised to scroll through the videos from different angles, which proved that Xu Can was first almost stabbed by the Zhang reporter's knife, and only then did Xu Can angrily retaliate.
So many reversals led netizens to apologize to Xu Canone after another.
Xu Can didn't even need to watch the videos; it seemed he had already anticipated all of this.
"There are always some people who watch from the sidelines. Before they are sure that something is beneficial to them, they are unwilling to release such good evidence!"
"But in the end, they found out that I am the good person everyone praises, so they are willing to release this video. If I were a bad person, they would definitely expect me to buy this video back and give them a high price!"
Such is human nature. It's not that Xu Can thought them too bad; sometimes, an extra thought is also a guarantee for oneself!
"So that's how it is. Fortunately, we don't have to buy those videos from them, otherwise these people would definitely make exorbitant demands. We can afford to give them whatever they ask for, but it would put us in a situation of constantly fabricating lies, and someone would always expose that we spent a lot of money to buy videos!"
Xu Can nodded gently.
What Taylor Swift said was indeed correct.
However, this farce also had a certain impact on his image. He had to quickly restore his image through the films he was familiar with.
At the same time, he also needed to reverse this violent behavior in some details.
Charitable acts absolutely cannot start suddenly, as this can easily be seen as an attempt to whitewash. Fortunately, they had already started various international public welfare project collaborations.
"Let the company's public relations department restore the image from two aspects: the angle of public welfare and the confessions of the extras. Subsequently, during the film production process, we also need to intersperse some detailed displays to completely minimize the impact of this violent incident!"
Xu Can solved this tricky problem in just half a day.
He comfortably spent a vacation with Taylor Swift on the island.
As soon as he arrived at the company, he had to start preparing for Taylor Swift's upcoming world tour concert.
In the office, everyone was discussing the theme of this event heatedly.
Taylor Swift was already their top star, so this concert had to be well-prepared to open up her global recognition.
But Xu Can suddenly had an idea.
This time, they could change the format!
Chapter 185: Promises Must Be Kept, Secrets Eventually Discovered!
Taylor Swift's many performances have already been recorded. Perhaps this time, more people who are not present can also see her wonderful concert.
To gain recognition, more people must see his current performance.
"I believe everyone feels that a concert cannot fully open up recognition in a short time. What do you think about a tour documentary?"
Some people in the office found it difficult to accept replacing a concert with a documentary all at once.
Taylor Swift completely agreed with Xu Can's idea.
"I think this activity is great. If you don't agree for now, you can observe it further. We don't have to start this activity immediately. I want to calm down and compose some more songs recently!"
Xu Can gave them some time to think about when this documentary should be created.
"I hope to give you one month to plan, whether it's a concert or a documentary. I respect your ideas, but you also need to give me a convincing reason, otherwise this project cannot be approved!"
After the meeting, Xu Can returned to his office.
Kristen Stewart had already been waiting there.
She turned around from the chair.
The moment she saw Xu Can, a smile appeared on her face. In a short while, she came to Xu Can's side and pressed close to him.
Xu Can, however, seemed exceptionally natural.
"You're quite enthusiastic today."
"Isn't it because I want to discuss with you how to shoot the next movie? The online matters have been resolved, and we can't keep delaying the movie!"
Xu Can's masculinity completely conquered her.
"Your muscles have grown since I last saw you a few days ago."
His chest muscle, gripped by her hand, made Xu Can's body tremble.
The smile in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
With a hook of his right hand, he pressed Kristen onto the nearby sofa.
He leaned his head closer to her neck.
Aren't you being a bit too much?"
Kristen giggled as his breath tickled her neck.
"No matter how much I am, you still have your official girlfriend by your side. I can't get involved."
A somewhat jealous tone escaped her lips.
It only made him seem more charming.
Entwined on the couch, the atmosphere in the entire Room gradually turned pink.
Kristen leaned back on the couch, panting heavily.
Her eyes held a hint of seduction.
"I got this role based on my true strength."
He deliberately emphasized the words 'true strength'.
Presumably, he was intentionally seducing Xu Can.
Xu Can reached up and pinched his waist.
"Of course, your strength has always been good; I know that."
A knock at the door made Kristen jump in a panic.
She calmly straightened her clothes, her feigned propriety making Xu Can smile helplessly.
"Come in."
A staff member walked over with a stack of documents.
"The X Police approval documents have come down; we have officially passed the review! Now we can arrange subsequent filming and the production of the movie trailer!"
"The contract for the filming location has not yet expired, so we can go shoot anytime. The location you rented for us in advance does not require any additional procedures."
"Alright, I understand. You can go now."
Clap.
The moment the door closed, Kristen rushed over anxiously.
"Can we make the official announcement now? Only when my name truly appears on the cast list will I believe you haven't lied to me!"
Xu Can raised an eyebrow.
"I never lie."
The list was quickly made public.
His previous image issues had a slight impact on Xu Can, but everyone approved of his films.
Especially this new film featuring Mystique.
Since Mystique appeared in Wonder Woman, many people have had a love-hate relationship with this character!
Xu Can did not simply cast Kristen because of their unusual relationship; it was because she truly possessed such potential.
He wanted this film to be both a good story and have profound meaning. In the selection process, it had to align with the essence of each character. Where it needed to be cool, it absolutely had to be cool!
There are generally few films that generate such buzz before filming even begins.
"Just looking at his synopsis, I'm already excited. How can Xu Can have so much inspiration in his mind? I heard he's the Director and screenwriter for every film!"
"Xu Can is a very talented person. In a world like this, he will definitely be envied by many. We shouldn't be influenced by those so-called public opinions. We should actively support a talented person to let him shine brightly in this era!"
"I don't believe every one of his films will be this amazing. Otherwise, we can make a bet: this film isn't as good as they advertised. How can someone never fail even once!"
"Even great Directors in the past have had their failures. No one is perfect. We must learn to accept a person's flaws!"
Xu Can tapped his knuckles, watching the scrolling comments.
Those negative comments would only motivate him further, not cause him to spiral.
0 ...0
He had to inspect the site first.
Then contact the special effects team.
Especially regarding the design of special effects makeup for the actors.
Every actor had to arrive on set in advance to determine the required styling and materials based on their physique.
Every detail had to be perfect.
Throughout this process, everyone endured hardships.
"The venue has been tidied up and can be set up at any time. The teams haven't arrived yet, but all our materials are ready. All the materials they requested are top-grade and must not cause any skin damage!"
Xu Can went over to inspect.
"This material must be breathable so that your skin isn't damaged or suffocated. Afterward, they will also perform other roles that require their faces to be visible. If our film causes irreversible damage, we won't be able to compensate for it!"
It referred not only to monetary compensation but also to their emotional compensation.
The film was one aspect, and protecting the crew members was another.
"Additionally, we have checked all the special effects tools here in advance. All safety equipment has passed the final inspection, including fire safety. You can rest assured that all procedures are complete, and there will be no possibility of filming being halted midway!"
The on-site supervisor reported nervously.
Xu Can looked around and nodded gently.
With the on-site arrangements complete, official recording could begin.
However, this time he did not plan to act.
Chapter 186: God-tier Director Takes Control of the Entire Set, Filming Site Submits One by One!
He wanted to concentrate on directing a film, participating in it as a true Director!
Gathering everyone, Xu Can thoroughly explained the abilities they currently possessed.
A Director must know the script by heart to accurately allocate on-site performance abilities.
"I will not fully provide some of the subsequent plot details to you. Performing based on the existing plot will not affect your judgment; otherwise, later plot points could easily disrupt your current performance rhythm!"
"When a situation takes a turn, suddenly seeing the script, that true performance experience is unique; it cannot be acted out!"
Xu Can stared at the staff on set.
They also had to listen carefully to understand the script and the true abilities of each character.
Everyone could not separate their "733" roles and tasks; they were all interconnected.
"Professor X and Magneto are good friends. Professor X has telepathic abilities. This ability does not require contact with any object to control others' minds, manipulate their actions, and he created the X-Mansion to achieve the goal of maintaining peace in the human world!"
"Magneto, on the other hand, controls metal through magnetic fields. This magnetic field is also created out of thin air and used as a weapon. His most outstanding ability is to successfully fly in the sky by interfering with the Earth's magnetic field!"
However, in later plot developments, the two parted ways for their respective goals.
This could not be disclosed to others for now.
In the subsequent plot, the two of them had to portray their conflicting opinions intertwined with emotion.
Not act as if they were destined to part ways from the very beginning.
Then Xu Can looked at Mystique.
Kristen Stewart.
Their eyes met.
The tenderness in the woman's eyes fixed on Xu Can; a Xu Can working so diligently was indeed the most charming.
"During official filming, even in your natural form, your body will be covered in blue scales, so your special effects makeup will be quite troublesome!"
Kristen shook her head, "I have no problem with shaping this character; it's what I should do!"
Xu Can was very satisfied.
"Similarly, you can rely on internal elements to change your appearance and are skilled in special combat operations!"
He analyzed each character in turn.
He wanted them to perform according to their characteristics, rather than delaying the entire crew's progress based on their own interpretations.
Xu Can needed the crew's quality and speed to progress simultaneously.
So that online promotion would not stagnate for too long.
The longer the promotion period, the longer the audience waited, and the more they would lose anticipation.
The entire film was adapted from the comic. Building on the previous life, Xu Can re-integrated the conflicts between various screenwriters.
And in this, Xu Can utilized multiple factors.
Whether it was the hot girl series or the hidden camaraderie between handsome men, different audiences could find what they loved.
Filming location.
The special effects makeup was successfully applied, but to speed things up, they couldn't repeatedly remove and reapply it.
All scenes performed with consistent makeup had to be filmed simultaneously. To avoid skin damage, they used the most breathable and highest-grade materials.
I can sleep with this makeup on tonight and just touch it up tomorrow. Otherwise, I'd have to reapply everything, which would take a lot of time and waste a lot of materials!"
Kristen stepped forward without hesitation.
He believed this was the most correct course of action.
Xu Can quickly rejected her action.
"The crew doesn't need to save budget by doing this; it will harm your body. Even if the materials are good, they will still cause some damage to your body!"
"Tomorrow afternoon is your shooting time. We have rescheduled the entire shoot to ensure you have enough time to remove your special effects makeup for your skin to breathe, rather than constantly being cooped up in such special effects makeup!"
It was useless for Kristen to say anything more.
The first day of shooting ended smoothly.
Xu Can was impeccable in everything from actor scheduling to on-set blocking and explaining the scenes.
Everyone could understand Xu Can's directions, and each time they deepened their understanding of the character, able to perform the deep connotations of the role!
"Today's special effects action scenes were shot exceptionally well. Everyone worked hard. Rest well tonight; we don't have any night scenes to shoot. Tomorrow is the heavy-hitting part!"
The filming set was in full swing….
Online promotion was also very effective.
More and more people are looking forward to the X-Men first class movie's release.
"I heard that this lineup is very strong. Although Xu Canhimself isn't acting, he is directing the entire process, so it will definitely give us a surprise!"
"Forget about surprises, if Xu Can acted, it would give me a greater shock. He often challenges different roles; it's such a pity he didn't participate this time!"
"Perhaps acting no longer challenges him. Fully immersing himself in a film to complete its production is what truly demonstrates the value of his Best Director Awards!"
Xu Can never used a stunt double for his on-set special effects direction.
He always demonstrated on the spot without any preparation, having memorized the entire script and every action required for each character, his body as skilled as if he had practiced dozens of times!
"Director, why don't you act instead? I feel that you have completely mastered these roles requiring special effects actions, even better than us who have memorized the script for a long time!"
Xu Can waved his hand.
"Mastering a role has nothing to do with memorizing the script. Only when you deeply understand the character and completely merge your body and the role will the script become a record of your daily life, not just something you've memorized!"
The educated actor had a sudden realization.
Xu Can looked at the footage in the camera, ensuring every detail of their profiles was perfect.
Kristen came before the camera.
"I didn't expect your footage to capture me so beautifully; I've never shone like this in anyone else's footage!"
"Learning to capture an actor's beauty and amplify it is also a Director's talent!"
"It's because our makeup and styling are also the most unique, not the common kind, and after the training period, our posture has changed a lot, allowing us to display our best temperament on screen!"
Xu Can smiled faintly, not responding.
Chapter 187: All-round prevention of proxy shooting, no leaked filming details!
But just then, the appearance of a flash attracted everyone's attention.
No flash photography was allowed on the entire set, nor was any footage from the set allowed to be circulated by staff.
The Director Assistant immediately stepped forward.
He nervously checked his surroundings.
The previous image was clearly taken on the set.
Such unauthorized photography severely violated the order of the set, and the person behind it had to be caught.
"Haven't I said before that no filming is allowed on set? Nothing can be circulated in advance. You have severely violated the Director's regulations. If you come forward now, we might still give you a way out, allowing you to continue working in other crews. But if you're even a step late, we might make sure you can't even find other work!"
"Is anyone going to step forward? We have comprehensive surveillance on set. If you're caught, you won't be able to survive in this industry. You need to think carefully!"
"I don't care who you worked for before. If we catch you, your leader will also be demoted, dragging others down with them. You need to think about whether anyone will want to be friends with you besides being able to survive in this industry!"
The Director Assistant said all this, but no one was willing to step forward.
Xu Can realized that things were not so simple.
Since they were not people from the set, it could only mean that the enemy was hiding in the dark, constantly watching every move on the set!
"Pause filming for now. Everyone else return to your dressing rooms. Try not to expose your makeup!"
"Only by catching this mastermind can we film with peace of mind. Otherwise, they will seriously disrupt our filming order. The entire set is filmed in a confined environment, yet someone can still manage despicable unauthorized photography. There must be a meticulous plan. Although it wasn't filmed by on-site staff, there must be an insider!"
Xu Can turned and stared at other places.
The more they hid, the more interesting Xu Can found it.
Kristen urgently returned to the dressing room to wash off the special effects makeup on her body.
She couldn't cause any trouble for Xu Can.
"How's the situation outside?"
"The Director is still looking for our insider. We don't know where the problem originated. We've always been on guard for similar situations, but we never expected to be stabbed in the back!"
Kristen was also very nervous.
If their filming location was exposed, all their hard work would go to waste.
The more secretive it was, the more anticipation it would generate among the public.
This was Xu Can's painstaking work; no one should be allowed to trample on it.
"I remember many vehicles were parked here before. Go retrieve the recordings from all the dashcams and see if there are any suspicious individuals!"
"The Director has already urgently retrieved footage from all vehicles, but the workload is too immense. Moreover, we don't know what kind of behavior to use to identify suspicious individuals. The angles they filmed from have also been filtered, but it's still very difficult!"
Xu Can stared at the few screens in front of him.
Fortunately, they now had more surveillance and capture cameras.
They must catch this mastermind.
And they had to do it before he could transmit these images to the outside.
"Cut off the on-site signal as quickly as possible, and add a signal jammer so he can't easily transmit these images. Once the news is exposed, our confidentiality work will have been challenged by them. These reporters are deliberately trying to challenge our crew's authority!"
Xu Can's expression was extremely dark.
The person hiding in the dark trembled.
Most crews turn a blind eye, even if they outwardly claim to maintain secrecy and prohibit unauthorized photography!
But when things are actually leaked, the crew still pretends not to see it, as long as it helps them with promotion, anything goes.
But they didn't expect Xu Can to be serious.
The moment the footage stopped, Xu Can fixed his gaze on the person in the corner.
In a matter of seconds, he completed the shot and quickly hid in a nearby box.
This person indeed seemed very skilled.
"Get him out for me!"
Hearing the commotion outside, the person knew he couldn't hide anymore and had to come out obediently.
Could it be that these people had fiery eyes to find him in such a short time?
But Xu Can's main goal was to find his insider, only then could he completely cut off the thoughts of others.
"Tell me who your insider in our crew is? Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't keep your job at your company!"
"The one trying to sneak away in the back…"
Everyone's gaze collectively shifted.
That person instantly froze in place.
Especially since the crew gate was closed, he had nowhere to escape now.
No matter how Xu Can thought about it, he couldn't figure out which staff member this was.
"This is a part-timer who was just hired today. He performed well in other crews and was temporarily brought in for a few days of part-time work. I never expected him to cause us such a huge loss. I brought him in, and I will take full responsibility for this!"
The Director Assistant was very annoyed when he clearly saw that person.
If he had been more careful, such a serious accident wouldn't have happened.
"This is not your fault. Some people can disguise themselves very well. Tell the staff of other crews what he did today, and see who will still hire him then!"
Without watching him beg for mercy, Xu Can left.
In the end, this person's reputation in the entire industry became ruined.
"I heard someone in your crew was colluding with outsiders, and almost leaked your internal footage. If the signal hadn't been intercepted in time, I imagine the entire internet would be filled with your filming footage by now, and wouldn't your confidentiality work have been ruined by them!"
"Fortunately, it was a close call!"
Taylor Swift and Xu Can leaned against each other on the villa sofa.
"Today was indeed quite a scare, but it also reminds me to strengthen confidentiality and investigate every staff member to ensure they have no possibility of colluding with the outside world!"
However, it seems no film crew can perfectly withstand these proxy photographers. They can reveal the true scenes of the crew, whether shooting from distant trees or underwater!"
This is their usual method; there's no way to avoid it.
"Firstly, all our recent work involves detailed post-production scenes constructed with special effects. It's not difficult to enclose the entire crew in a sealed space!"
"But wouldn't that cost a lot of money? It certainly isn't that easy!"
Chapter 188: Flirting with Kristen during filming breaks, Taylor Swift visits the set!
"But my confidentiality work has already been revealed. Everyone knows that now we have to follow through. Once they photograph the scenes, all the marketing accounts online will definitely seize this opportunity to make a big deal, and the film's image will instantly deteriorate!"
Xu Can has high hopes for this film and will not allow any mistakes to occur.
Many people online were very surprised.
"Because these proxy photographers were so rampant before, no film scene could escape their cameras. But why hasn't any footage from X-Men: first class been leaked so far?!"
"It must be because Xu Can stopped them. Everyone knows how formidable Xu Can is. It's time to rectify their rampant behavior!"
"Proxy photography is too shameful. The confidential scenes they painstakingly created are revealed by them, and they even use this as a means to make money!"
"Some people even promote these proxy photos. I really don't know what they're thinking. This is trampling on others' hard work!"
Xu Can's secrecy efforts made everyone very satisfied.
More and more people supported this action, unwilling to let proxy photographers affect their experience of the entire film, as this would shatter their long-held expectations and mystery.
Spoilers give people a chance to know things in advance during the movie-watching process, but not everyone wants to know beforehand!
Xu Can turned the entire set into a closed space.
"Thank you for your hard work. Make sure someone guards this place!"
Many ventilation devices were installed on site to ensure normal air circulation and purification even in such a confined space!
Kristen Stewart was the first to arrive on set.
She was very satisfied with the current setup.
"This way, we can film with peace of mind, and there won't be so many passersby who sometimes affect our emotional investment in the shoot!"
"But why haven't the others arrived? It seems I'm the only one here."
Kristen Stewart looked around, seeing no one, and boldly went up to grab Xu Can's hand.
She pulled him all the way into the lounge.
Xu Can's eyes held a smile.
He immediately put his arm around Kristen Stewart's waist and pressed her against the door.
"Yesterday, with so many people on set, I couldn't get close to you. Now I finally have a chance!"
"You're so bold. Someone will be here any minute. If they discover our relationship, it won't be good for you!"
The entertainment industry is just that complicated.
Most of the blame falls on female celebrities, while male celebrities can walk away unscathed.
And as Director Xu Can, although he had such scandals, no one ever criticized him.
"To have my name linked with yours, even if someone curses me, I'm willing!"
Xu Can pressed her onto the sofa.
"It seems you're very bold, but I really like you today!"
Makeup artists and actors arrived one after another.
They waited in their respective dressing rooms for the Director's instructions.
Different people had different filming times, and makeup effects also needed to be rearranged according to the specific schedule.
Xu Can was still in the lounge, tenderly entangled with Kristen Stewart.
Sounds from outside caught their attention, and Kristen Stewart instantly tensed up.
"So they've all arrived! They were so quiet just now!"
"Weren't you quite bold just now, not afraid of them discovering us? Now you seem so cautious. You really have a lot of reversals!"
"If I were always this bold, I could completely take your hand and openly go outside to tell them you're my man. But everyone outside knows Taylor Swift is your real girlfriend, so how can I take your place? My career would truly be ruined then!"
Xu Can appreciated her clearheadedness!
"Do you know why I like you so much? It's because you know your place and have a sense of propriety!"
After speaking, he stood up and put on his clothes.
When he opened the door, the makeup artist looked very awkward.
Xu Can said very naturally, "We arrived a bit early. We were just discussing the script."
When the door opened wider, and the view expanded, Kristen Stewart was seriously reviewing the script in the makeup chair, with scribbled notes on it!
Only then did the makeup artist understand.
The on-site filming proceeded exceptionally smoothly without interference from others.
Especially the wirework scenes, all the actors had undergone special training and completed their takes perfectly on the first try!
Taylor Swift arrived at the entrance and entered smoothly.
Many people were guarding the set, but Taylor Swift was known by all the security guards!
As the Director's girlfriend, she was naturally allowed in without question.
Leaning against the door, she watched Xu Can calmly direct the actors' movements in front of the camera.
Taylor Swift felt that the current Xu Can was even more charming, capable of making her heart flutter.
But when she saw Kristen Stewart also looking at Xu Canwith admiring eyes, a strange sense of hostility suddenly arose in her heart!
This was not sudden; it was genuine hostility!
"...Cut! Take a break. Later, for the next group, remember your lines carefully. This part mainly relies on your line delivery skills!"
After speaking, he stretched.
When a pair of small hands covered his back, Xu Can was not surprised, thinking it was Kristen Stewart.
Fortunately, he didn't speak.
He turned around, his eyes showing only a few seconds of surprise before he smiled slightly, "How did you get here? You didn't even say anything beforehand. I could have sent a driver to pick you up."
"I can drive myself. You're so busy on set; how can I always ask you to arrange a driver for me?!"
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Can reached out and pulled Taylor Swift onto his lap.
Taylor Swift instantly became shy.
"There are so many people here! What you're doing is affecting your authority as Director!"
"In this crew, who doesn't know you're my girlfriend? Even if I hugged and kissed you here, they wouldn't mind, right?!"
After speaking, he looked at the others.
Except for Kristen Stewart, most of the staff turned their heads away.
Kristen Stewart looked at the two of them with great jealousy, but she knew she couldn't rush over.
The more this situation occurred, the more she had to hold back.
Otherwise, it would cause dissatisfaction among many people, especially affecting her own career!
"You go to the lounge and wait for me. I'll come find you after I check these few shots!"
Taylor Swift nodded shyly.
"No hurry, don't let it affect your normal work!"
Seeing their affectionate moment, Kristen Stewartclenched her fists, but could only swallow the bitterness!
Chapter 189: Scarlett Johansson joins, three women, one scene, a jealous spectacle!
Focused on the cameras on set, Xu Can had no idea what was happening in the lounge.
As soon as Taylor Swift entered, she sat on the sofa at the back.
Kristen Stewart walked in boldly, even bringing her makeup artist with her.
She completely disregarded the fact that Taylor Swiftwas in her boyfriend's lounge.
At the same time, the presence of the makeup artist would make their conversation less direct.
No matter what, they had to consider the presence of others.
Taylor Swift suppressed her anger, sitting on the sofa, wanting to save face for Xu Can and not let him be embarrassed in front of so many people.
"Excuse me, do you have any makeup remover wipes here? I need to wipe off a spot on my face that I made a mistake on!"
The makeup artist rummaged through her bag, realized she had forgotten her makeup remover wipes, and quickly asked Kristen Stewart next to her.
Focused on her own makeup, the makeup artist didn't sense how awkward the atmosphere on set was.
In the second drawer from the right, there's a small box with makeup remover wipes. You can use them; I put them there, and we all share them!"
That indicated the ambiguous relationship between him and the owner of the lounge.
"It seems you often come to this lounge to do your makeup; the dressing room next door is always empty."
Taylor Swift couldn't help but speak, her words sounding a bit sarcastic, but she was the girlfriend with a legitimate claim.
"In the dressing room next door, I can't get close to Xu Can. Don't misunderstand, I mean we often discuss the plot while doing our makeup, which saves a lot of time. You know, Xu Can is very dedicated, and I don't want to waste too much of his time on me explaining the plot!"
Taylor Swift felt a little wronged inside.
She wouldn't hurt others, and she didn't know how to hurt them; she could only bear the grievances herself.
"Then you can use it here."
Xu Can found that some empty shots in the footage were not up to par and needed to be reshot, so he could only go to Taylor Swift a little later.
Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson, driving by, wanted to go in and see Xu Can.
After filming the movie, the two of them rarely met, especially without promotional activities; there were practically no opportunities to meet.
She could only use the excuse of passing by to see Xu Can.
"Excuse me, outsiders are not allowed in here!"
The security guard was performing his duties.
Scarlett Johansson was wearing a hat and a mask, no wonder others didn't recognize her.
"I'm so close to your boss, and you don't recognize me? Even I can't get in."
Scarlett Johansson had heard about the news of the entire set being closed off; it had been widely spread online. Some people criticized Xu Can for making a fuss, but many supported Xu Can, hoping the surprise of the movie wouldn't be spoiled, and they were willing to only know the specific plot and scenes when they actually entered the cinema!
"But without our boss's permission, we can't let other celebrities who have collaborated with us pass. Our boss has collaborated with too many celebrities, and to be absolutely sure, we can't lose this job, so we can only temporarily stop you outside!"
The security guards were very apologetic. They were afraid of offending others in this job, but what they feared most was offending the boss.
Scarlett Johansson was speechless. Wouldn't this make it impossible to say she was just passing by? It would be better to openly admit she came specifically to see Xu Can.
There were still a few small details that needed to be readjusted. This kind of work would be handed over to the assistants nearby, which also served to increase their experience.
Just as he was about to stand up and return to the lounge to get close to his girlfriend, the phone suddenly rang. The name on the screen initially puzzled him, but then he naturally answered it.
"I'm outside your filming location right now. The security guard is blocking me from entering. Can you tell them I'm allowed in!"
Xu Can turned his head to look for Kristen and found that she wasn't on set. He figured she had returned to her lounge, so he temporarily relaxed.
Moreover, he and Scarlett Johansson didn't have too intimate a relationship, so it shouldn't be noticed by others.
"Then come in. I'll tell the security guard."
When Scarlett Johansson came in, she found that there were no other women around Xu Can, and her heart became even more joyful.
Recently, besides the actresses he collaborated with, he shouldn't be in contact with anyone else.
"Are you tired recently? I heard that the communication with the paparazzi a while ago made you angry!"
"I specially brought you some nourishing soup. I heard it's a specialty from China. I wonder if you'll like it!"
"Just put it here for now. I'll drink it after I finish work!"
Scarlett Johansson was afraid Xu Can would send her away. When he finished work, tonight's time had to be hers.
She rushed towards the lounge.
"I'll wait for you in your lounge first. Let's have dinner together tonight. Please don't refuse me!"
Xu Can could only quickly chase after her.
Scarlett Johansson opened the lounge door first, with a happy smile on her face!
But the next second, the smile on her face froze.
Women understand women best. The two of them instantly understood why Scarlett Johansson had such a smile, and why she opened Xu Can's door.
There was hostility among them.
Scarlett Johansson awkwardly cleared her throat.
And somewhat unnaturally pointed behind her.
"I came to discuss the future collaboration. We need to go abroad to promote the movie, and we need to be there in person…"
Actually, this trip was optional, but she could only use it as an excuse to alleviate the current awkward atmosphere!
It wasn't that she deliberately came to make things awkward; she truly didn't know there would be two women in Xu Can's lounge, and both of them were connected to him.
Now, a private dinner date tonight was probably impossible.
"My work will take a little longer. Why don't you tell me what you came to see me about first?"
Xu Can smiled awkwardly.
Three women make a drama; now there was truly a good show to watch.
Taylor Swift smiled slightly and walked over.
"Do I need a reason to look for you? Remember to come home for dinner tonight!"
One sentence revealed her identity; no one else had the right to say that.
They didn't have a home with Xu Can, nor did they dare to urge Xu Can to go home for dinner like that. For a moment, they suddenly felt defeated.
And Taylor Swift was secretly relieved that Xu Canalways had a place for her in his heart.
This way, she could be with Xu Can with peace of mind.
"I'm just here to discuss collaboration with you. See if we can find a place to sit down after you finish work. It won't delay you going home for dinner!"
Chapter 190: Balancing three women, happiness mixed with worries!
Scarlett Johansson was very bold, seducing Xu Can right in front of the other two women.
"I still have to shoot later. The Director must guide me. I can't shoot excellent scenes on my own. You are our god-level Director on set!"
Xu Can looked at the three women, feeling a bit of a headache.
But things still had to be done one by one.
"Then let's go shoot first, Taylor Swift. You go home and wait for me, don't catch a cold. The wind is a bit chilly tonight. I'll send a driver to take you back!"
The gentle Xu Can shone exceptionally brightly in Taylor Swift's eyes.
"Then I'll wait for you at home. I've made your favorite dishes tonight. Come back early, or they'll get colder and colder!"
"I know. Lock the door properly."
After Taylor Swift left, Xu Can finally let out a sigh of relief.
Scarlett Johansson next to him was purely here to seduce him; their work wasn't that urgent, they could even not go out!
"After we finish work, let's discuss the movie promotion. Contact me after you've arranged a place."
Scarlett Johansson secretly rejoiced behind him.
Then she had to quickly book a hotel.
Kristen didn't understand what the two of them meant, thinking they were indeed going to work privately!
There might be some intimate actions, but not too excessive.
On set, Kristen intentionally or unintentionally got close to Xu Can, wanting an intimate proximity with him.
"I think this shot can be reshot, Director, what do you think?"
Kristen's body was already pressed against Xu Can's back.
Her outstretched arm was also close to Xu Can's ear.
Their body temperatures were getting closer and closer.
The corner of Xu Can's mouth subtly curved upwards.
This woman was truly bold, so close to him with so many people around, not afraid of rumors spreading.
"If this shot is reshot, I won't be able to go home tonight, will I?"
Xu Can's words startled Kristen.
It turned out that Xu Can would ultimately return to Taylor Swift's side; no other woman could shake Taylor Swift's position.
And they could only have minor flirtations, unable to truly enter Xu Can's heart.
But Kristen didn't want to give up just like that. As long as she could be by Xu Can's side and have some contact with him, she would feel somewhat happy.
"All your scenes for today have been shot, it's time to go home. Today was a high-intensity shoot, especially at night. You need to recuperate and absolutely do not bring a bad state into the filming set!"
"Remember to work in your best state tomorrow. You must come!"
Xu Can nodded lightly!
After the on-set filming concluded, Xu Can changed his clothes and left, seeing that everyone else had departed.
He had already received the hotel address from Scarlett Johansson on his phone.
Knock knock knock!
The moment the door was knocked, it seemed the people inside had been waiting for a long time, and Xu Can was immediately pulled in.
Xu Can was pressed against the door, and he lowered his head, speaking in a magnetic voice, "I only have two hours."
He had to leave and rush home after two hours.
Scarlett Johansson leaned in close to Xu Can's neck.
"The shorter the time, the more exciting, isn't it?"
Xu Can was aroused by her.
The women around him were bolder than the last.
After a moment of tenderness, Xu Can's mind was still preoccupied with Taylor Swift.
He put on his clothes without lingering, even when Scarlett Johansson tried to persuade Xu Can in her most coquettish tone.
"Can you tell Taylor Swift that you have too much work tonight and shouldn't go back? I'm still a little reluctant to let you go!"
"She likes you so much, she must also understand your work very well. Aren't we also working? Discussing future cooperation matters in bed isn't exactly lying, is it?"
Xu Can replied while buttoning his shirt.
"I won't go back on my promises, especially with you in bed, how could we only talk about cooperation?"
"You're so annoying, alright then, but next time it definitely can't be such a short time!"
He had his assistant drive the sports car downstairs in advance.
Xu Can returned home as quickly as possible.
Taylor Swift had prepared a large table of dishes and was busy with the last dish in the kitchen when the doorbell rang.
She then remembered that she had locked the door herself earlier, also because Xu Can had told her to lock the door and wait for him to return, and she was very obedient to Xu Can.
"I'm so glad you're back! I missed you so much!"
"Work kept me tied up, but now I've rushed back!"
Xu Can lowered his head and kissed Taylor Swift's forehead.
Taylor Swift quickly pulled him to the dining table, happily showing him the fruits of her labor on the table.
"To capture a man, you must capture his stomach. Have I completely captured your stomach now? Just by looking at these dishes, you can tell how delicious they are. You must eat more later. You've been working too hard recently. Although your film crew can eat takeout, those meals are made in restaurants, and they're not as healthy as what I make!"
Xu Can playfully poked her little nose.
"You're really mischievous. So, if I ask you to bring me food every day, would you go?"
"If you really let me, of course I would go every day!"
..0 0
"That won't do. You still have a lot of work unfinished, especially with the final decision between a movie and a documentary coming soon. We have to go to a meeting tomorrow!"
Taylor Swift was a little nervous.
"Actually, no matter which one it is, I'm very happy. Being able to let more people know and like me is already great. It's another step closer to my dream!"
Xu Can reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"You are always the best. In the days to come, you will become more and more formidable until you reach the height you desire most!"
The woman who was becoming a global superstar stood by his side, embraced in his arms.
"You always make fun of me. Right now, I'm still like a housewife cooking for you. How can I become the most famous person in the world!"
Xu Can reached out and untied her apron.
"I told you a long time ago, this kind of thing should be left to Auntie. Her cooking is what we all agree is the most delicious, even better than a five-star hotel chef's, but you always insist on doing this for me!"
"My current goal is to take good care of you. This makes me feel content. Before, I only had one goal, which was to become a country music singer, but now I have two goals, and one of them is to live a good life with you!"
Xu Can dotingly rubbed Taylor Swift's head.
"We will all make our dreams come true!"
