Chapter 127

You have to know, this girl is a real estate fanatic.

Later, she bought at least 7 luxury homes in Beverly Hills, New York, and Nashville, with a total value of nearly 100 million dollars.

No wonder she was obsessed with buying a luxury home in Beverly Hills to be his neighbor.

She was just like a Chinese auntie, researching real estate whenever she had nothing to do.

"Do you like it?"

"Quite like it, very satisfied."

Moved, Xu Can held Taylor Swift tightly in his arms.

"Hehe." Taylor Swift was also very proud; she had previously worried that Xu Can might not like the decoration or the location.

"By the way, are the bathroom and bedroom bed here all set up?" Xu Can suddenly asked.

"Yeah, everything is arranged, my mom helped with it. Ready to move in anytime."

Taylor Swift smiled sweetly, but soon she couldn't smile anymore.

"Not bad, then let's leave our own mark in the new house."

"What? Hold on! R-U-kidding?"

Taylor Swift found herself scooped up by Xu Can, heading straight for the second floor.

"My mom baked apple pie and is waiting for us to go back and eat!"

"It doesn't matter, pie is also good when it's a bit cool."

"Fine, I lose to you."

Taylor Swift was between laughter and tears.

She didn't expect that buying this property would have such a use.

……

Arizona, adjacent to Phoenix, Scottsdale Airport.

Coming out of the airport, Emma Stone was already waiting.

"Why do you still have work on Christmas Eve? I wanted to have a Christmas Eve dinner with you."

Emma Stone looked at Xu Can with heartache, her big eyes blinking.

"No choice, I have to make money to support you." Xu Can dotingly flicked her nose.

"I can make money too, my salary is almost 20 million now, I can support you even if you don't work."

"That won't do, I don't want to be a kept man."

"Hmph, I think you just want to keep others, like Taylor."

Emma Stone feigned anger.

"No, you're wrong about that."

Xu Can quickly denied.

"When her third album comes out, her annual income will at least break 20 million, she can support me too."

"Alright! You really are still thinking about her!"

The two flirted all the way out, while a little fatty next to them felt awkward, eating a mouthful of dog food.

"Forgot to introduce, this is my brother Spencer, this is..."

"I know, of course, Spider-Man! I'm your fan!"

Spencer Stone was quite excited, wishing he could take a photo with Xu Can on the spot.

This made Emma Stone very jealous.

"Hey, I'm a big star too, okay? Besides, I'm also Spider-Gwen!"

The result was a roll of the eyes from Spencer.

Emma Stone's parents were much more refined than Taylor's family.

Her father was a building contractor, quite tall, with obvious Nordic features, the type who is tough and speaks little.

Her mother was also a housewife, didn't talk much, but was very happy to see Xu Can.

Compared to the noisy Taylor family, the Stone family's Christmas lunch seemed much quieter.

A few people chatted casually, mostly Emma Stone's brother Spencer asking questions; as a stuntman, he really yearned for Hollywood.

Xu Can's body wasn't tired, but mentally it was really hard to hold on.

The Time Management Master was not as easy as imagined.

To reach the hidden ending, he still needed to continue exploring in unknown directions.

……

*Love & Other Drugs* was quietly released during the Christmas season. Because he was busy dealing with two families, Xu Can did not attend his own premiere.

Anne Hathaway was once again alone accompanying the creative team at the premiere in Los Angeles.

Xu Can was absent both times, and her inner disappointment was inevitable, but what could she do?

Anne knew that Xu Can had more than one person who needed his company.

In the premiere cinema, Anne Hathaway watched herself in the movie; her time with Xu Can was so sweet, although a bit spicy, it was still very sweet.

Unfortunately, the sweeter it was in the movie, the more painful the hurt in reality.

Seeing the end, Anne had tears falling down without realizing it.

Only then did she truly realize that the two were originally just a simple working relationship, but it had soured for her.

There were multiple excellent films released during the Christmas season.

The high-scoring film *The Curious Case of Benjamin Button* starring Brad Pitt and "Elf Queen" Cate Blanchett;

*Marley & Me* starring "America's Sweetheart" Jennifer Aniston;

The Disney fantasy family film *Bedtime Stories* starring Adam Sandler;

Tom Cruise's historical biographical film, *Valkyrie*;

The 2008 Christmas lineup was relatively luxurious.

Xu Can didn't expect the romance film *Love & Other Drugs*, which explored the pharmaceutical system, to have any box office results.

He made this movie purely to exchange for Sony's film library, by the way, earn a 25 million salary, and have intimate contact with Anne Hathaway.

What more could he ask for?

The result was unexpected!

The first weekend box office of *Love & Other Drugs* during Christmas was as high as 37 million dollars!

Second place *The Curious Case of Benjamin Button*, 28 million dollars.

Third place *Valkyrie*, 21 million.

The remaining films didn't exceed 20 million, completely unable to compete with Xu Can's film.

Even the *New York Times*, which usually didn't look favorably on Xu Can, had to admit.

"Xu Can is the most box-office-drawing male star in Hollywood."

"In the recently announced Golden Globe nominations, Xu Can is crushing it!"

"*La La Land* 7 nominations! *Love & Other Drugs* 2 nominations! *Spider-Man 2* 4 nominations!"

"The Hollywood of 2008 completely belongs to this Chinese man!"

As the 2008 *Time* magazine cover person, although Xu Can couldn't be said to have ruled Hollywood this year, he at least became the most dazzling figure in Hollywood.

From the beginning of the year with *La La Land*, to the summer blockbuster *Spider-Man 2*, and the Christmas release *Love & Other Drugs*,

The films starring Xu Can led from the beginning of the year to the end.

If you count *The Dark Knight Rises*, which he wrote and produced, his achievements in 2008 were enough to make all his peers feel fear!

When the Golden Globe nominations were announced, it was as if Xu Can was fighting himself.

The great director Steven Spielberg, who received a lifetime achievement award nomination, sighed in a media interview:

"Speaking of which, is this the first time this has happened at the Golden Globe Awards?"

"Different works by the same actor all receiving nominations, I haven't seen it in my impression."

"I have to say, Xu is truly one of the best actors in Hollywood, one of the most outstanding directors, I really want to work with him~."

"This year is really... Wow, a bit crazy! Hollywood is about to be occupied by this Chinese man - hahahaha."

In Spielberg's laughter, there was a bit of helplessness.

Xu Can's appearance made him realize for the first time that he was already old.
