Chapter 142: The Place Where Dreams Begin! Iron Man's Global Premiere!

Los Angeles, the venue at the Beverly Hills Shanzhuang Hilton Hotel.

Thunderous applause filled the hall as everyone stood to give Xu Can a warm round of applause.

Since his debut in "Spider-Man," he had endured all sorts of doubts,

and other young actors would likely have struggled to withstand such public opinion.

But Xu Can, through his own efforts, continuously released multiple outstanding films and shaped one successful character after another.

He finally earned everyone's respect and, in the Oscar barometer, won the first award of his acting career.

Although it was only a supporting male role, every audience member present who had seen "The Dark Knight" knew,

that this award was equivalent to a leading role and was a recognition of Xu Can.

These Hollywood celebrities present all offered Xu Can their heartfelt applause.

Amidst the warm welcome, Xu Can stood up with a smile and embraced Emma Stone beside him,

then walked gracefully toward the stage, with camera lenses following him constantly.

Everyone had already witnessed in "John Wick" what kind of handsomeness Xu Can displayed in a suit.

At this moment, Xu Can showcased another style, combining Peter Parker and John Wick, blending sunshine and sharpness, simply outshining those runway male models.

The female guests present stared with stars in their eyes.

Even Black Widow, who had just collaborated with Chris Evans, could not help but feel a sense of comparison.

Mr. Thor is indeed handsome, but compared to Xu Can, she would rather choose Xu Can.

"Oh-god, what on earth am I thinking?"

Black Widow blushed at her own wandering thoughts.

Xu Can had already walked up to her; Scarlett Johansson gently embraced Xu Can and exchanged a cheek kiss with him.

Black Widow smelled very fragrant; when her cheek brushed against his lips, both felt ripples in their hearts as if struck by electricity.

Fortunately, the entire process lasted only an instant; losing composure on stage was impossible.

Xu Can took the microphone, wearing a faint smile as he gazed at the audience below, first falling silent for a moment.

For a speaker with little experience, forgetting one's lines immediately upon going up is no reason to panic; remaining silent while looking at the audience is actually a good way to adjust.

Everyone's attention would be drawn together, making the speaker appear full of presence.

When the words came back to mind and one began speaking, the speech would also carry more power.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to receive this Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor."

"All the nominees this time were very powerful; for example, Javier, your killer in "No Country for Old Men" was simply more perverted than the Joker..."

"And John, you are even more perverted; playing a woman and acting so convincingly."

Xu Can ostensibly complained but actually praised the other actors' performances, causing the two nominated actors to burst into laughter.

The audience present also chuckled with understanding smiles.

Originally, the nominated actors felt some regret, but hearing Xu Can say this, they were convinced and had no complaints.

One had to admit that this year, the role of the Joker was indeed slightly superior to their performances by a hair's breadth.

Xu Can's win was widely expected.

"First, I want to thank my parents far away in Huaxia; they supported my study of acting, allowing me to reach this point and continue walking forward."

"I also want to thank Nolan, thank Bale, and thank everyone who worked hard on "The Dark Knight"; the film's success is the result of everyone's efforts."

"I won't say any other remarks, to avoid having nothing to say when I receive the Oscar award later."

Xu Can's last unexpected remark once again triggered enthusiastic cheers from the entire hall.

Everyone initially thought he was joking, but after careful consideration, it didn't quite seem right.

Could Xu Can really be confident about entering the Oscar nominations, or even winning?

This unparalleled confidence moved the Americans, who always prided themselves on being confident.

Accompanied by thunderous applause, Xu Can, like a newly crowned king, slowly descended from the stage.

Although this was an award ceremony for Best Supporting Actor, the scene had the grandeur of a leading actor.

Xu Can indeed began to conquer the entire Hollywood industry gradually with his acting skills and personal charm.

The award ceremony continued; what followed had nothing to do with Xu Can.

He spent the entire time enjoying the delicacies on the table, all crafted by international gold-medal chefs.

Others were too busy to eat, but he did not hold back.

After eating and drinking his fill, the award ceremony was still ongoing; Xu Can could not play with his phone, so he turned his attention to the lady beside him, Stone, starting from her feet and moving northward.

"Hey!"

Stone lowered her voice, widened her eyes, and reminded Xu Can.

Xu Can remained unmoved and continued his actions.

Stone immediately panicked, looking left and right to check if anyone was noticing.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the stage.

Stone could only endure this tension, being bullied by Xu Can in broad daylight.

"Why is this so stimulating? Damn it!"

Her resistance gradually weakened; her Bai Xi small face had already turned red, and she soon became immersed in it.

Little did she know that everything was being watched by Kristen on the right.

She also inexplicably lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

The Golden Globe Awards concluded, and the news that Xu Can won the 65th Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor instantly spread across the entire internet.

It put an end to the controversy over the "old and new clowns."

Though it cannot be counted as a total victory, it has at least silenced the voices questioning Xu Can.

The universally acknowledged best villain of the new century, the universally acknowledged god-tier performance—these are ironclad facts.

The rating of The Dark Knight on IMDb surged once again, surpassing The Shawshank Redemption, and returned to the top of the IMDb Top 250 with a score of 9.4/10!

At this time, the global box office of The Dark Knight also broke 1.108 billion US dollars, ranking fourth in global box office history, second only to Spider-Man!

The mainland China review process is indefinitely postponed; otherwise, The Dark Knight would have surely surpassed Spider-Man to rise to the first place.

The mainland film market actually holds huge potential.

Since Hero opened the era of blockbusters in 2002, more and more people have chosen to watch movies in theaters.

The China market has been growing year by year since 2006 and will reach a peak ten years later!

More and more Hollywood film giants have begun to value the China market, even producing special versions specifically for China.

Just like the trailer for Iron Man, which has already begun promotion in major theaters across China.
