Call her too, let's invite more people to my place for a barbecue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's arrange it after we wrap up filming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For activities like this, Xu Can needs to manage his time well to avoid inviting Stone and then neglecting Swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pepper Potts, Gwyneth, predictably crowded in to join the conversation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu, there are some lines I'm not quite sure about, can you help me run through them? It's quite quiet over there...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwyneth pointed to her trailer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her trailer was parked in a relatively secluded spot outside the set, so it was indeed not easy to be disturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning behind the second half of Pepper Potts' sentence was clearly a sufficient hint for Xu Can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can pretended not to understand; if he got entangled now, things would become a complete mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn't Swift and Emma turn the world upside down by then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your scene partner is Robert, just run the lines with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robert Downey Jr. gave a bitter smile and waved his hands repeatedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, I feel our chemistry is quite good, the lines definitely won't be a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew very well what kind of person Gwyneth was, and with his wife Susan on set, he didn't have the guts to provoke her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, that's true, it's just a supporting role...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwyneth's eyes fluttered, looking pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were an average novice, they would probably have been hooked by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fortunately, Black Widow came over in time to resolve the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu, there's something I want to talk to you about, it's that thing we mentioned last time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she grabbed Xu Can's arm and pulled him aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you just run lines with her? Otherwise, every time she comes to the set, she's pestering you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Widow teased with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't, if we're talking about running lines, I'd rather do it with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? That's nice, it's not impossible... but does Emma agree?

By the way, besides Marvel hero movies, do you have any other plans? I'd really like to participate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Widow quickly changed the subject, fearing that if they kept talking, she would be taken by Xu Can sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for Taylor or Emma, she would have actively pursued Xu Can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there were two younger, prettier, and more capable rivals,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and Black Widow actually felt a little insecure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, Marvel is just one of my plans; my focus isn't on superhero movies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can nodded; he is now trying to hand Marvel over to others and retreat behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants to act in or direct other genres more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, Black Widow is an excellent actress and deserves some better roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every actress has a dream of winning an Oscar, and it's good that Black Widow dares to actively apply for opportunities with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can actually likes this; she is very real and doesn't appear mercenary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past year, Xu Can had seen many third-tier Hollywood actresses in social settings who were clearly beating around the bush to get an opportunity, yet always put on airs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xu Can's eyes, she is not just Black Widow, but Scarlett Johansson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple movies flashed through Xu Can's mind: \"Her,\" \"Lucy,\" \"Ghost in the Shell,\" \"Vicky Cristina Barcelona,\" \"We Bought a Zoo,\" \"Marriage Story\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She won Best Actress at the Rome International Film Festival with just her voice, her \"Lucy\" raked in $460 million at the box office on a $40 million budget, and \"Marriage Story\" earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these are indeed excellent films worth investing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do have some script ideas on hand that are quite suitable for you. If there's a filming plan later, no need for auditions, I'll work with you directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's great, then it's a deal, I'll wait for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Johansson smiled very sweetly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, are you free tonight? To repay you, let me treat you to something delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'd love to, but unfortunately I already have plans. We can clear some time next week to go out together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Then I'll go film, see you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Widow's expression was a bit disappointed, though she had masked it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did she know that Xu Can's observation skills at this moment, especially regarding women, were already meticulous; no clue could escape him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more emotional debts he owed, the more Xu Can wanted to say something, but decided against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prefers the feeling of getting along naturally with Black Widow;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>usually, there are things he can't talk to Emma or Swift about, and talking to Black Widow is always the right choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always replies to messages in seconds and uses her high emotional intelligence to provide Xu Can with sufficient emotional value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This state is great, a bit like a soulmate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can worries that once a physical relationship is introduced, will it destroy this state?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let nature take its course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can and Scarlett exchanged a look from a distance, then turned and left the set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As \"Spider-Man 2\" swept the summer box office, \"Love & Other Drugs\" had finished production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Urban romance films don't have special effects, so editing doesn't take much effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to a large number of explicit scenes, the film was rated R, destined to have little success at the box office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sony didn't plan on making much at the box office, but this kind of film would be popular in the DVD rental market, providing a steady, long-term income.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The film is expected to be released around Christmas, and Xu Can will be a bit worried by then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Swift or Emma wants to see this movie, should Xu Can take them to see it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, why didn't I think of this when I accepted the role?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it is precisely because of merging with the male lead's soul that Xu Can can use his silver tongue to settle the emotions of both women in a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the film, Xu Can discussed many creative insights regarding the pharmaceutical background with the screenwriter and director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave him more confidence in his creation, enabling him to bring \"Dying to Survive\" perfectly into this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning from the Iron Man set, Xu Can began polishing the script for \"Dying to Survive,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>living a somewhat reclusive life during this period, occasionally going out to eat with Swift or Emma Stone when tired of writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Stone received a new film offer, \"Easy A.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma could have had a good rest after filming \"Spider-Man 2\" and \"The Twilight Saga: New Moon,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but she couldn't stay idle and eventually accepted the role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a film invested in and produced by Xu Can's Galaxy Pictures, a PG-13 youth campus film aimed at teenagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No vulgar scenes, no intimate scenes for the female lead, so Xu Can can rest assured letting her go film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe she can even bring back a Best Actress award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small investment of a few million, just consider it play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Baby, don't mess around while I'm away. If the paparazzi catch any rumors of you and Taylor, I'll...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't be able to be coaxed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can almost laughed out loud; Emma is really cute when she acts like a little woman occasionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine, fine, I won't be caught by the paparazzi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's more like it... wait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emma Stone reacted after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can only promised not to be caught by the paparazzi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really have that thought?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To keep Xu Can from messing around, Emma Stone really put in the effort before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much so that the next day, Xu Can had Vanessa take her to the airport, and he slept until the afternoon before getting up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, are we going out to play tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have to write the script today, let's go play tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I've finished that song, I wanted to sing it for you, I'll sing it for you tomorrow then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swift pouted and hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her \"All Too Well\" was released ahead of schedule, intended for her third album; the songs for this album were mostly gathered, and it was almost ready for release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The company recently signed three young and beautiful female singers; they are all very talented and are preparing to produce their debut albums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three were all newcomers personally selected by Xu Can,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and Swift felt a bit of a crisis; she worried that if she went out of style, would Xu Can choose one of them instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xu Can received Swift's call, he found his body too exhausted and slept quite deeply, missing several calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including one from Christopher Nolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu, I have a script I want you to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1729,"2026-06-17T04:37:49.098Z","2026-06-17T04:40:43.045Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3325fb655c69193e4562371f9592300d96a78d8e7dfd82da3b17c37679dd1ed0","entertainment-starting-as-spider-man-i-kiss-tayl-chapter-118","entertainment-starting-as-spider-man-i-kiss-tayl-chapter-116",319,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fentertainment-starting-as-spider-man-i-kiss-tayl-cover.jpg"]
