Chapter 136

Afterward, the kitchen will be cleaned up by the Latin American nanny.

"Husband, you're really bad... I was originally scheduled to shoot a commercial today, and I probably won't be able to move at all."

"Then rest at home for a day... wait, what did you just call me?"

Xu Can almost choked on his breakfast.

"Husband, I checked later; this word means 'husband'... we aren't married, you're too evil! Evil!"

Taylor Swift, feeling indignant, punched Xu Can's shoulder with her little fist, only to have her slender wrist caught by his hand in return.

"Then why do you still address me that way?"

"I don't know why, but it just feels natural."

"Then call me that a few more times..."

"No!" Swift quickly changed the subject. "Aren't you supposed to go to a meeting today? Go quickly, don't be late."

Xu Can checked the time; he indeed needed to go to the company.

Besides the release date confirmation for Iron Man, there were many other film project discussions, such as the upcoming production of La La Land by Xu Can.

If not for these matters, Xu Can would have definitely carried Swift into the bedroom to continue their previous activities.

"Can I stay at your place to rest for a while? It's all your fault; I have no energy at all."

"Of course. Since you've called me husband, you are also the mistress of this house."

With Xu Can's words, Swift couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, stepping forward to give Xu Can a light peck on the lips.

"Can I eat those dishes you made yesterday? The potatoes and beef brisket were too delicious."

"That depends on your performance."

Swift stepped forward again to hug Xu Can, kissing him repeatedly.

Since last night, after her seal was lifted, she had become much more proactive and enthusiastic.

Xu Can almost lost control again, carrying her in a princess hold to the bedroom to lie down, gave a gentle kiss to her forehead, and turned to leave.

If he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to leave.

After Xu Can closed the door, Taylor Swift gazed at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"The trailer has already been produced, reviewed and rated PG-13, and is planned to be released in the second week of January."

"No problem, what about other regions?"

"Everything has been arranged; a global simultaneous premiere is possible."

Xu Can nodded in satisfaction.

The review of The Dark Knight in China is indefinitely postponed; some content inside is a bit sensitive. Xu Can suggested firmly not to cut anything, so some public relations work is still needed.

Iron Man has no major issues; the review was approved instantly, and the contract has been signed with China Film.

Finally, a movie can be released globally at the same time!

There is still one month left; the pre-production trailers and offline advertisements for the film have already been rolled out.

While The Dark Knight was playing in theaters, posters for Iron Man could already be seen on streets everywhere.

Furthermore, several 30-second teasers were released, generating some buzz on the internet.

Now the final version of the trailer is about to be released; while the storm over The Dark Knight has not yet subsided, Iron Man is already waiting non-stop for its release!

Xu Can's film offensive comes wave after wave, giving movie fans no chance to catch their breath!

The aftermath of the controversy between The Dark Knight and the old Batman has not yet subsided.

The "New vs. Old Joker" debate has actually reached a public consensus in North America and around the world.

The old Joker is very classic, but Xu Can's new Joker has even created an image that will go down in film history, subtly ranking a level higher in the hearts of more people.

It's roughly the difference between A and A+.

But there are still some stubborn trolls who haven't seen The Dark Knight casually belittling Xu Can's performance.

As a veteran American comic fan and Xu Can fan, Dr. Sheldon from Caltech simply couldn't stand it.

After arguing hundreds of floors with others on the forum without feeling satisfied, he simply filmed a video himself to retort against those stubborn guys.

Unexpectedly, Sheldon's retort video went viral, achieving tens of millions of views on YouTube.

His somewhat dazed appearance, along with his acerbic yet exceptionally rigorous wording,

struck a chord with Xu Can's fans, silencing the stubborn skeptics and declaring Xu Can's version of the Joker a great victory.

Sheldon tasted the sweetness and planned to open a video column to review live-action American comic movies.

While he was recording a video in his apartment, Leonard on the other side shouted loudly, interrupting his recording.

"Excuse me, it is my time to record a video now; you should have stayed outside the room for 30 minutes."

"Forget that for now, look at this!"

Leonard excitedly clicked open a video, which was exactly the ultimate trailer for Iron Man!

Just five minutes after being released on YouTube, it had already broken the million-view mark!

Sheldon stared with wide eyes...

Tap, tap, tap, tap...

The drum intro of the classic track "Back in Black" by the hall-of-fame hard rock band AC/DC begins,

Matching the restless, impassioned melody,

across the vast Gobi flats, a convoy of military Humvees was racing at full speed.

The flashy Young Master Tony Stark sat inside the Humvee, holding a glass of bourbon, relaxed and at ease.

"Are none of you going to talk?"

"Being respected, or being feared? Which is better?"

A high-tech missile launched, splitting mid-air into countless warheads, unleashing a terrifying explosion before the mountainside; the shockwave nearly sent the soldiers flying.

"I want both."

"For peace…"

Boom!

Tony Stark was thrown by the blast, barely clinging to life, and was captured by the enemy and dragged into a mountain cave.

"Tony Stark, you're my dog now."

Ding—

Ding—

Inside the cave, Tony Stark picked up a sledgehammer and struck the metal.

At this moment, Leonard and Xie Erdun watching the screen had no idea what the sound of metal being struck meant.

"Stark, what are you trying to build?"

Bang!

The Mark 1 prototype armor burst out like a wild beast, cutting a brutal swath!

Boom!

"Welcome home, Mr. Stark."

"I'm sober now. I'm going to protect people."

Stark donned the mask, and the steel gauntlet on his hand fired a laser!

Boom!

"There's a legion of steel soldiers—enough to flatten all of Asia."

In the laboratory, Tony Stark's armor was gradually perfected.

"Yeah—I can fly!"

Watching this, Xie Erdun could hold back no longer; he shoved Leonard off the chair, sat down himself, and fixed his gaze dead on the screen.

The original rock music had been replaced by even more furious, boiling heavy metal!

Matching the pulse-pounding melody,

The all-silver Mark 2 armor shot straight up out of the garage into the sky!
