Chapter 100: John Wick
Emma Stone felt she was almost deaf.
Although she guest-starred as the female assassin Perkins in "John Wick," her filming schedule lasted only one day.
Later, she had not seen the finished film; this premiere was her first viewing.
Having experienced the grief of losing his wife and the grief of losing his dog at the film's opening,
and having endured the non-stop, breathless, adrenaline-pumping battles in the middle,
John Wick achieved revenge successful, wiping out the enemy's entire Zhenggebang Sect,
brushed off his clothes and left, disappearing into the night with one man and one dog,
the final silhouette against the night sky appearing infinitely melancholic.
Great vengeance has been taken, yet the beloved remains irretrievable...
Emma leaned back in her seat, let out a long sigh, and was unable to pull herself out of the emotion.
Immediately, the theater erupted in deafening applause, cheers, and whistles rising and falling!
Emma Stone was startled, her emotion interrupted,
and only then did she realize the film must have been a success!
Looking back at the audience's enthusiastic reaction, the scene resembled their "Spider-Man" premiere back then.
Although her starring film "Twilight" was set to release a week later, serving as a competitor to "John Wick."
But at this moment, she subconsciously felt happy for Xu Can,
"Baby! You succeeded!"
"What?"
The venue was too noisy; Xu Can could not hear what Stone-jie was saying at all.
Facing the frenzied audience, he and the creative team could only stand up to thank everyone present.
The film's effect was no worse than the original, and with Spider-Man currently enjoying immense popularity,
the projected box office should exceed the original's 88 million US dollars.
It cannot be guaranteed to enter the annual box office chart, but making a steady profit should be no problem.
This wave is secured!

"I thought Xu Can would be fixed in the Spider-Man persona; I didn't expect him to break the shackles so quickly and challenge a new role! Cool! 10/10"
The next day, a massive influx of users flooded North America's largest film review site, IMDb, all giving ratings to the freshly released "John Wick."
This film, which subverted the action genre, received rave reviews!
Upon opening, it achieved a high score of 9.4/10!
Of course, the score will definitely drop later; pure action films are hard to keep above 9 points,
but this cannot hide the overwhelming positive reputation of "John Wick"!
