Chapter 105

……

"Really? Willing to pay me a 500,000 fee?"

"Uh... of course. I have high hopes for your acting."

In front of the Marvel Entertainment building, Luo Bote Downey Jr. still couldn't believe he could actually play the real male lead!

Even if it was just Tang Ni Stark, a hero with not very high popularity.

Xu Can's sincere answer put his mind at ease.

Kevin Feige nearby almost couldn't hold it in; a 10,000 fee was simply too low.

He had originally proposed inviting Nicolas Cage, or Tom Cruise.

Even Sam Rockwell would have worked.

Xu Can insisted on hiring Luo Bote Downey Jr.; looking at the bright side, at least the actor was cheap.

"I'll send you a script later; familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible. We must start filming by the end of this month at the latest."

"No problem." As a former drug addict, Downey was in a highly motivated phase; he hoped to reboot and prove himself again.

This might be his last lifeline.

"By the way... who can give me a ride? My car crashed two days ago and is currently being repaired."

Downey had gotten a bit too high before, causing a car accident; thinking about it now was quite embarrassing.

"I'm heading back to the company anyway; I'll give you a ride."

Xu Can drove his newly bought Ferrari F430 Spider, taking Downey away from Marvel.

On the road, Luo Bote Downey Jr. suddenly suggested eating a cheeseburger; he had rushed in the morning and hadn't eaten.

Xu Can wasn't in a hurry either, so he stopped at a burger shop by the seaside and bought two burgers.

Who knew that as soon as Downey took a bite, perhaps due to withdrawal symptoms, he suddenly felt nauseous, his stomach spasming violently.

Downey stared at the burger in his hand, and in a fit of anger, threw it into the sea before him.

Then he dug into his pocket again and threw out a small bag of pills, which fell into the seawater.

"Holy crap?"

Xu Can's eyes went wide; this guy actually carried drugs with him?

If the police found this, he would end up in jail too!

"Xu, I won't take drugs again. Thank you for offering such a role; I will act well."

Luo Bote Downey Jr. gazed at the sea, his eyes gradually clearing up.

Seeing this scene, Xu Can inexplicably thought of "Iron Man 3," where he threw the old reactor core into the sea, symbolizing a farewell to the past.

He hoped Luo Bote Downey Jr. could, like in his previous life, become the real Tang Ni Stark.

"Mm, I believe you."

……

Seeing "Iron Man" preparations gradually getting on track, "John Wick" was screening globally to great heat, with box office about to break 200 million, and "The Dark Knight" series proceeding steadily.

Xu Can would have enough blockbuster works releasing for at least two years.

He had finally firmly established himself in Hollywood and could slightly consider plans after "Iron Man."

Xu Can did not plan to act in "Iron Man," but he would participate in the film's shooting as a director.

The directing experience accumulated previously in "Spider-Man" and "John Wick" had already given Xu Can the ability to direct a movie independently.

If the directing results were good, more plans could be put on the agenda afterwards,

such as the musical "La La Land" promised to Stone...

Xu Can thought about things while driving back to his Star River Entertainment, but failed to notice and almost hit Taylor Swift strolling in the park!

Fortunately, she was quick-eyed and quick-footed, jumping aside.

Seeing Xu Can, Taylor Swift made no complaints; instead, she cheerfully came forward to greet him.

"Xu, I've finished recording my album! We can arrange the release immediately!"

The blonde Taylor Swift, bathed in California sunshine, smiled like a flower,

looking exactly like a Gao Zhongsheng just released for summer vacation.

Judging by the look, after this period of devilish recording sessions, the Miss had been stifled badly.

"To celebrate, how about I treat you to a big meal tonight?"

"Yay! I haven't eaten much recently; I am indeed a bit hungry."

Taylor Swift suddenly remembered something, looked at Xu Can cunningly, and hooked her beautiful lips into a smile.

"Is this a date?"

"Of course. I've said it many times; even if God came today, we would still have to go on a date."

"Okay, then I'll go back and tidy up; come pick me up tonight."

Taylor Swift was not shy; instead, she accepted the invitation with grace.

This was not just a friend treating a friend to a meal,

her agreeing to the date meant at least she was willing to try a romantic relationship with Xu Can.

Taylor Swift's apartment was right next to the Star River Entertainment office building; Xu Can had specially rented a quite safe luxury apartment for her.

She was seen walking with light steps, entering the gate like a little deer.

However, he didn't know that after driving into the underground garage, Taylor Swift stopped in front of the apartment elevator and hesitated for a long time without pressing the button.

Thump, thump, thump, thump...

"What's wrong? Why am I so nervous?"

Taylor Swift, having pulled herself away from work, fell back into a vortex called emotions.

She hadn't felt this anxious-and-eager uncertainty in a long time.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xu Can's heart was also pounding fast.

"Emma, what's wrong?"

"Baby, are you free tonight? The Twilight cast has a pre-premiere party, and I want to go with you."

Emma Stone's gentle voice was no less than a dark magic spell in Xu Can's ear.

So is this the key node of a galgame?

I want to save first!.
