Chapter 21
【December, 2006】
【Shocking Release!】
The teaser trailer finished playing, lasting only a brief 30 seconds.
But Leonard remained silent, too excited to speak.
"Holy Shit!"
As a Marvel fan, he loved Spider-Man! This was the most down-to-earth superhero!
Now the live-action Spider-Man was about to appear on the big screen,
it was simply a dream come true!
"No way, Sony Entertainment, are you for real?"
The comment section under the trailer had exploded; refreshing it added thousands of new comments.
"So cool, so cool!"
"Huh? Production only started recently, and it's releasing this year?"
"They said they found an Asian Spider-Man before, didn't expect the effect to be this good!"
"Ridiculous, really releasing during the Christmas season? Never seen a film company this efficient."
"Just watching the trailer has me excited; I'll definitely contribute to the box office!"
"I can't wait! Let December come faster! Spider-Man! Spider-Man!"
"The fidelity is really high! I have a feeling this movie won't be a disaster!"
"Live-action movie, emmmm, let's hope Sony doesn't ruin Spider-Man."
In the comment section, most Marvel fans were quite expectant.
After all, this was one of the most popular superheroes; everyone had been paying attention when media reported on the casting, and they didn't expect it to release so soon!
The content shown in the trailer was still excellent.
Spider-Man swinging above the city, the visual effects were quite shocking!
It will definitely be even more shocking on the big screen!
However, a small portion still expressed concern.
Live-action adaptations of games and comics have always been huge traps.
There are so many failure cases; it's really too easy to step on a mine!
If the production is not up to standard, it will definitely ruin this classic character.
At that time, even fewer people would dare to adapt comics.
The comment section was in an uproar, view counts climbed steadily, likes broke 100,000, and shares also broke 50,000!
More and more people entered the trailer page through shared links!
"Howard! Oh my god! Stop playing games, look at this quickly!"
"Wait, the dungeon isn't cleared yet!"
Howard got distracted; his character's health bar instantly emptied, and he was one-shot by the dungeon Boss.
No choice, helplessly he went to Leonard's side and punched him.
"What's going on?"
"Spider-Man!"
Leonard pointed at the screen.
"Jesus! For real?"
Howard, originally somewhat angry, was instantly attracted by the Spider-Man on the screen!
……
Los Santos, Broadway Street.
Xu Can took a can of ice-cold Coke from the fridge, leaned comfortably against the wide sofa, and gulped down several mouthfuls of happy water.
"Comfortable!"
Looking at the spacious living room, and the beautiful scenery of Los Santos under the sunset outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window,
Xu Can felt he had chosen the right place for his new apartment.
Previously, he had ventured into North America alone, running extras in film crews and working at coffee shops.
Now that the acting fee had arrived, Xu Can's account already held 1.95 million US dollars.
The acting fee was around 3 million, but the contract was signed pre-tax.
North America always boasted of being a "land of freedom," but in reality, it was quite black-hearted, directly taking 35% tax from him!
What he got in hand was less than 1.95 million.
Xu Can originally wanted to get a pool villa in Beverly Shanzhuang, but thought better of it and decided against it.
He was currently insignificant, and the 3 million contract was already the ceiling.
After "Spider-Man" releases, when Xu Can's box office share arrives, he will have a considerable income!
Plus, actor fees will surely rise to the ten-million tier! Later there will be a chance to cross the 20 million club!
By then, buying a luxury mansion would be as easy as going to the supermarket to buy vegetables.
This luxury apartment was also quite nice, with an elevator going directly to the unit,
a top-floor luxury mansion in the core area of downtown Los Santos,
200 square meters of open space, Nordic modern style, fully furnished and ready to move in.
Much better than his previous 20 square meter space.
The cola wasn't finished yet; Xu Can was just about to turn on the computer to check the trailer's situation.
Agent Happy Hogan's phone suddenly rang.
"Xu! The media is making a fuss about your skin. Should we sue them?"
