Become Famous Overnight! Have I Really Become A Big Star?

It's true that Xu Can likes acting; it is his hobby and dream. But he doesn't like to wait for other directors to find him like other actors. 

This is too passive. 

Xu Can prefers to play roles he likes. 

If you can't achieve freedom and ease as you wish in your new life, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

During the filming of "Spider-Man," he enjoyed the cool action scenes. 

Therefore, Xu Can does not plan to make literary films too early to compete for Oscars. He wants to play more.

So from the time when "Spider-Man" was filmed until it was released, Xu Can was not idle. In addition to dating Emma Stone and writing scripts, he spent more time preparing to open a company.

That's right, Xu Can plans to open a film and television production company of his own. 

In the early stages, it will only be responsible for production, and we can rely on Columbia Cinemas for the distribution of the film.

Since "Spider-Man" was released to great acclaim, Xu Can has been deeply associated with the role of Spider-Man.

 Xu Can in the parallel world is equivalent to Tobey Maguire in the previous life. He is Sony's cash cow, and Stringer, the chairman of Sony North America, can't wait to offer him up.

I believe that in terms of distribution and theaters, we can negotiate good terms with Sony Entertainment. The key still lies in film production. If the quality of the film is high enough, everything can be said.

Assuming that "Spider-Man" can really exceed $800 million, Xu Can will receive about $15 million in salary and dividends. Coupled with a loan, the production cost can be almost $20 million. Xu Can estimates that for this level of investment, there is a movie that is quite suitable!

That is a niche action movie released in 2013, starring the male idol Keanu Reeves: , "John Wick!" 

Also known as "Give me back my dog's life!" 

It's a story about a retired killer whose dog is accidentally killed, and he kills all the way for revenge.

 From the beginning to the end, the person didn't talk much, but what stood out was that he was crisp and clear!

Summit Entertainment didn't have high expectations at first. It would be good to be able to make back its investment of $20 million. 

Unexpectedly, the final box office revenue was more than $88 million, and it had an excellent reputation. It was considered a small profit. So "John Wick" was filmed for the fourth time in a row, forming a unique "John Wick Universe."

As a start-up company surrounded by Hollywood giants, if it can create a successful IP, Xu Can can definitely gain a foothold in Hollywood! What's more, with his golden finger—god-level acting skills—the shooting efficiency will definitely be greatly improved by then. 

Maybe the cost is less than $20 million.

"Sorry, Summit Entertainment. This work belongs to me."

Xu Can kept recalling and improving and finally completed the script during this period.

"Happy, what's wrong?"

"The office decoration has been completed and the staff has been recruited. It is barely operational. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Agent Happy Hogan has now become Xu Can's general manager, fully empowering him to handle operational matters. 

Happy looked chubby and thick, and it really made Xu Can feel at ease when doing things.

"In two days. Today happens to be Christmas, and I have to go to Sony for a celebration reception. I can't even put it down. I'm so annoyed."

Xu Can gets a headache just thinking about it. After Happy heard this, he wanted to strangle Xu Can through the phone.

"Jesus, are you kidding me? Other celebrities would be eager to squeeze in with this kind of opportunity, but you are better off, and you still want to hide?"

"It's very boring. A bunch of people are just chatting."

"Xu, remember, you are already a quasi-A-list actor in Hollywood! If Spider-Man 2 maintains its reputation, you will be an A-list actor!"

To be honest, Xu Can really doesn't think of himself as a star. 

In his concept, actors are actors, and he is not interested in fame and fortune... well, he is still interested in making money.

In his previous life, Xu Can admired Lana Del Rey, in the European and American pop music circles, and the male idol Keanu Reeves.

 They never regarded themselves as celebrities and never over-exposed themselves to participate in various social occasions. No matter how much they earned, their daily food and clothing were quite simple.

Xu Can became famous overnight, but he himself had no idea of ​​his popularity. The mentality is exactly the same as when he was playing a small role before.

Until he got up and washed up, he was going to ride to the shopping mall to buy some daily necessities.

 As soon as he got on his bicycle, before he could even take two steps, Xu Can was stopped by a passerby.

"Oh.. stop..!"

"Ah?"

Xu Can looked confused and looked at the four young and beautiful girls in front of him, screaming around him. It's not cold at noon in the winter in California, the sun is relatively strong, and they even wear relatively thin clothes, giving Xu Can a rough and rough feeling.

"You are Spider-Man!! Peter Parker!!"

"Can you take a picture with me? Please, Peter!"

"Get out of the way, the one I saw first, his name is Xu Can...Xu, I am your fan, can I take a photo with you?"

The blond Caucasian girl was at most 20 years old, and her voice was quite sweet. She directly hugged Xu Can's arm, softly.

"I want it too, Xu, I'm also a fan of yours!"

"Okay, okay, come one by one."

Who wouldn't be confused as a man in this scene? 

Xu Can picked up the marker pen given by the girl, first signed the book, and then signed the girl's T-shirt. The last girl just opened some of her collar.

"Can you sign here?"

Xu Can swallowed, but on the surface, he was still cool and calm. "Since you asked..."

After swiping and swiping, I signed my name on the snow-white area, and the girl even gave me a kiss on the cheek. The free and elegant characters amazed these white girls, and they wished they could have them tattooed on themselves.

Xu Can was just about to ride away when he was surrounded by a group of movie fans. 

There was so much noise just now that everyone noticed him! Who made this the most prosperous downtown area in Los Santos?

"Damn it, I will definitely buy a mansion in Beverly Hills later! Also, it's time to buy a car."

It's not a problem to be chased and blocked by fans when you go out on your bike all the time. Later, the LAPD was alerted, and Xu Can finally escaped smoothly, relying on the police officers to maintain order.

 The price was that Xu Can took photos with the police officers and signed on their police cars.

"Xu! Spider-Man is awesome! Hurry up for the second part, we can't wait!"

"It's taking pictures, it's taking pictures!"

"NBC reporters will report for you live!"

"The most popular movie in North America these days, I believe I don't need to say more. I don't believe there are people who haven't seen "Spider-Man"! Except for the poor guy who can't buy a ticket."

"Because the film broke the first weekend box office record and has the opportunity to break through the $500 million box office mark in North America, it will strongly hit the annual box office championship...Sony Entertainment held a celebration cocktail party at the Beverly Hills Hotel today, and celebrities from all walks of life in Hollywood came to congratulate."

"From a minor actor to overnight fame, Xu Can became the well-deserved protagonist tonight! According to media reports, Xu Can was besieged by fans on the street at noon today, causing traffic in some neighborhoods to be paralyzed..."

"Look in the direction of my finger, that's Xu Can's car today..."

Before the reporter could finish speaking, the flashlights lit up like crazy, even more exaggerated than on the day of the premiere! Xu Can, who was wearing a black suit, looked like a handsome young man. He walked arm in arm with Emma Stone on the red carpet and walked towards the venue.

"Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Gwen—"

The fans around him were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

"Being famous is really troublesome," Xu Can secretly sighed. Emma glanced at him charmingly:

"What's going on here? You will definitely become more popular in the future, my big star."

"You've become a star and you have such a sweet mouth. Let's do a kissing scene."

"In front of so many people?"

Emma's fair face turned red.

"I'll go to your house tonight and let you put on a kissing scene."
