Chapter 137

"Yeeeeh-huh!!"

Boom!

The armor's power was insufficient; it plummeted rapidly, smashed through the roof, and crashed heavily onto a limited-edition supercar, ruining it.

【January Dedication!】

"Mr., the upgrade is complete."

"Give me some cool red."

The familiar image of Jin Gang appeared before the two; Xie Erdun and Leonard both jumped with excitement!

Is this Xu Can's strength?

Starting with Spider-Man, he gradually brought those classic images to the big screen; now it was Jin Gang's turn!

Will Marvel's Captain America, the Hulk, and Lei Shen be next?

Can DC's Flash be arranged too?

Scenes that could only be imagined through comics and crude animations could finally be seen on the cinema screen?

Just thinking about it was exciting!

In the footage, dazzling fast cuts,

those seemingly thrilling scenes made one's heart itch with anticipation! They vanished before one could even see them!

【Heroes are not born】

【Heroes are created】

"Some suspect I am related to recent superhero events; I am not the hero you imagine..."

Boom!

【IRON-MAN Jin Gang】

【January 11, 2008】

【Shocking Release!】

The Jin Gang trailer, as always, stirred up huge waves on the internet.

Judging solely from the trailer, it was another fast-paced live-action comic adaptation thrill ride.

Although Xu Can did not star in it, as the director, he made fans feel infinitely reassured.

"Produced by Xu Can, guaranteed masterpiece"

This statement was being constantly verified!

Fans had already fallen into a mindless carnival, and the Hollywood industry was also shocked by Xu Can's new film.

The trailer revealed only the tip of the iceberg, yet the texture of Jin Gang and the film's special effects made them drop their glasses in shock.

"Wait, tell me, was this made by a startup special effects team?"

"Boss, they poached many people from Industrial Light & Magic and Western Digital; even people from our own team have resigned..."

"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"This... who could have imagined it?"

At Disney headquarters, the furious president was taking his anger out on subordinates.

Paramount and Fox were also holding meetings to study Xu Can's new film.

Especially Youqishi Sect; they had just launched a market-explosive mecha masterpiece, Transformers.

Who would have expected another mecha special effects blockbuster to be released!

Setting aside the story and acting, judging solely by the special effects and action scenes, Xu Can's Jin Gang was no weaker than Transformers!

"No need to worry for now; this is just a second-tier Marvel superhero. Most of their popular characters are elsewhere."

Paramount CEO Brian Robbins said proudly.

"But the director is Xu Can!" someone already sensed the threat.

"He's the director? That's laughable. A young upstart who wants to fly before he can even run?"

Brian Robbins was dismissive.

"If he starred in it, I would indeed be worried. But as director, plus an addict as the lead, this film is definitely doomed."

Competing with Jin Gang in January was their sci-fi new film, Cloverfield.

In theory, one was a superhero film and the other a thriller mockumentary sci-fi; their audiences did not conflict.

But the January market was not summer season; it was considered a relatively off-peak slot.

Usually, only one film could dominate the crowd at such times; other films' box office would likely be affected.

The two had already formed a competitive relationship.

Who would emerge victorious depended on the quality of their respective films!

"I have finished practicing my tap dance; when shall we rehearse together?"

Star River Entertainment, Dance Studio.

Emma Stone caught Xu Can, who was trying to escape.

"Before filming starts; as long as Jin Gang is released and we deal with those messy social engagements, we can begin shooting."

"What about your moves? Do you know how to dance?"

"Of course; I learned it when I was a child."

"Sorry... I thought you wouldn't."

Emma Stone lowered her head awkwardly, but Xu Can lifted her smooth face and pressed a kiss onto her red lips.

Two hours ago, he had just kissed the blonde girl at home, and now he had transferred that kiss to the red-haired girl before his eyes.

Xu Can has already grown accustomed to this ability to switch between feelings seamlessly.

No matter who he faced, he could give 100% of himself.

"When the time comes, I'll definitely let you see what I'm capable of."

Xu Can whispered into Emma Stone's ear.

What he meant was, even though he hadn't learned to dance, when the time came he could use his golden finger to activate the movie male lead's soul fusion and naturally master the dance moves perfectly.

The result, in Stone Sister's ears, was that Xu Can was being improper again.

"Yuck…"

……

After the *Jin Gang* trailer had been released for some time, 2007 had already drawn to an end.

In the blink of an eye, it had already come to 2008 — this was Xu Can's second year in this parallel world.

In less than two short years, everything had already undergone earth-shattering changes,

and he was charging full speed ahead down an unknown and crazy road!

On New Year's Eve, Xu Can transformed into a master of time management.

One moment he finished eating with Emma Stone, then drove to a secluded empty lot behind the restaurant for a quick rendezvous.

After sending Stone Sister back to her apartment, the next moment he took Taylor Swift to the very same restaurant for a French feast.

Fortunately, Xu Can had booked a private room and used his money power to buy off the waiters.

Otherwise, if this news broke, it would absolutely cause an uproar across the European and American entertainment circles!

In reality, there were already plenty of Xu Can's scandals flying about like snowflakes.

One moment he was seen holding hands with Emma Stone on the street, the next he was privately meeting the country music little diva at a restaurant.

Some even said he was being ambiguous with Avril, and behaving intimately with Emma Roberts.

The earlier part Xu Can admitted to, but the latter part was a bit of a stretch.

He had added Avril as a friend, and the two had only eaten together once,

Xu Can wanted to bring her under his banner and sign her to Galaxy Music. With two major European and American divas anchoring it, Galaxy Music could develop even better and infuse the company with capital.

Unfortunately, after Avril got married, she didn't have such a strong career drive and had gradually developed the idea of retiring from the music scene.

Xu Can was no Cao thief — he had little interest in married women; no matter how good-looking Avril was, it was useless.

The two had only agreed that if Avril changed her mind, she could contact him anytime; Galaxy Music would always have a place for Avril.

As for Emma Roberts, she and Xu Can only met as friends.

They hadn't seen each other in a long time and were just catching up — perfectly normal!

Emma Roberts liked to hug Xu Can's arm — that was perfectly normal too, right…
