Chapter 13: The First Screen Kiss with Gwen

In Emma Stone's view, the days spent filming "Spider-Man" were the happiest time of her life.

Before, she had only taken roles in reality shows and guest spots in American TV series,

often ending after just a few shots,

completely unable to feel any joy in acting.

Suddenly one day, a lead female role actually came to her,

and Emma Stone was so excited she couldn't sleep all night.

Her agent had even advised her that another youth film, "Superbad," was also inviting her to join.

Compared to a comic-book adaptation movie "destined to flop," a youth film might be a more rational choice.

For some reason, Emma Stone decided to trust her intuition and chose to star in "Spider-Man"!

To play Gwen Stacy!

Facts proved her choice was correct.

The atmosphere on set was quite great, filled with laughter and joy every day.

Director Marc Webb was also very kind to her,

patiently explaining scenes whenever her performance was not quite right.

Most importantly, she met Xu Can.

This magical Chinese boy opened the door to a new world for her.

From the night they first met and got drunk,

they almost ate together after every day's filming and took citywalks together on the streets of New York...

They quickly became good friends who could talk about anything.

Xu Can would also often chat with her about movies,

and occasionally even inspire Emma Stone's acting.

Since joining the cast, the rapid improvement in her acting skills has been obvious to all!

Unknowingly, Xu Can had already occupied an important position in her heart.

"Cut!"

Director Marc Webb sighed helplessly.

"Emma! What are you thinking? Recite your lines!"

"Ah?"

Only then did Emma Stone realize she was on set!

Right in front of her was Xu Can!

Seeing Stone Sister's dazed and cute look, Xu Can couldn't help but want to laugh.

To be fair, her eyes were too big and her cheekbones were quite high,

her appearance fitting Western aesthetics better,

differing greatly from the delicate Eastern beauty type Xu Can preferred.

He preferred women like Sophie Marceau, Jennifer Connelly, and Kate Beckinsale.

Many Chinese fans might not get Stone Sister's looks.

However, once you get used to it, Stone Sister is still very beautiful.

Especially her blonde styling in "Spider-Man" right now,

the 18-year-old her was one or two levels better looking than in "The Amazing Spider-Man."

Today's scene was at Gwen Stacy's home,

with Peter Parker visiting for the first time,

Gwen's father disliking Peter,

a tense meal followed, and then the two went to the balcony to chat.

Peter Parker wanted to reveal he was Spider-Man but didn't know how to start,

Gwen mistakenly thought he was going to confess his love,

eagerly expecting it with a heart full of joy, only to have her expectations dashed and feel very sad.

This scene was not too difficult for the two of them,

Marc Webb had believed from the start that the two leads had great chemistry,

their rapport and chemical reaction being quite excellent.

He had thought they could finish smoothly and wrap up early today.

Unexpectedly, Emma Stone got stuck and didn't recite her lines for a long time.

"What's wrong? Did you forget your lines?"

"No, no, Director, I'll do it again. I'm sorry; this time it won't go wrong."

"Alright, alright, you adjust well... Everyone get ready again!"

Marc Webb sighed lightly and directed the crew to shoot another take.

"Hey, are you okay?" Xu Can looked at Stone Sister with some concern.

Did she have something on her mind today?

"No... nothing, let's continue."

"I remember you've never been nervous before; where did that silly, goofy girl go?"
