Chapter 174

*City of Stars*

City of Stars!

"City of stars, are you shining just for me?"

"City of stars, there's so much in this world that can't be explained…"

Xu Can's whistle, along with his magnetic voice, captivated the entire audience the moment he opened his mouth.

In a musical, beyond the performances and plot, the music is the very soul of the film.

The music of *La La Land* is truly beyond reproach; William, who had come ready to nitpick, was won over completely.

He could only hope to find fault with the plot.

Pulling out this song has already created a royal flush for twenty-first-century musicals.

Even Xu Can's singing is that professional!

Damn it!

By now the audience was utterly enchanted, immersed in Xu Can's singing and the Los Santos night scenery.

The color palette and audiovisual effects are simply art!

While Xu Can and Emma Stone were secretly getting up to some mischief in the front-row creators' seats,

little did they know that in the back row of the theater, a blonde girl wearing a baseball cap and oversized sunglasses had also slipped in to watch Xu Can's work.

The moviegoers around her were all focused on the film, and no one noticed that the person sitting beside them was—Taylor Swift!

Taylor had hired her own assistant a week in advance to queue up, and after great difficulty had secretly obtained a premiere ticket.

Today she had come quietly, wanting to see if Xu Can and Emma might rekindle their old flame.

When she saw the male and female leads dancing together, she was indeed filled with jealousy.

But when Xu Can launched into the song-and-dance on the pier, Taylor completely forgot everything, her whole being immersed in the film.

Originally, Taylor had been full of confidence in music—this was her domain.

But at this moment, hearing Xu Can's singing,

Taylor was shocked, and even felt a touch of self-doubt, yet at the same time was immensely proud, wishing she could announce to everyone around her,

"Look, this is my boyfriend!"
