Chapter 215: New Year's Eve at the Hot Spring Hotel with Emma and Taylor Swift
Los Angeles, Beverly Shanzhuang, Xu Can's mansion.
Even on the last day of the year, the morning California sun remained dazzling.
Xu Can stood at the entrance of his own courtyard and happened to see English legend "The People's Darling" Beckham and Victoria passing by.
The couple was walking a large golden retriever; seeing Xu Can at the gate, they were somewhat surprised.
Beckham proactively greeted his neighbor with a standard British accent:
"Good morning, Xu, are you waiting for someone?"
Xu Can chuckled lightly: "Morning, David, I came out to get some fresh air."
"Understood, Have-a-good-day, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year."
Since moving to Beverly Shanzhuang and becoming neighbors with Old Beckham, Xu Can had basically never seen him.
In the previous two years, Old Beckham was playing for Real Madrid, so he probably didn't come to Los Angeles much.
He had seen Victoria a few times; Sister Bei at 34 was really well-maintained, her skin was tender, and her figure was quite tight.
Especially when she came out running in yoga pants, Xu Can couldn't help but steal a couple of glances.
Last year, after Old Beckham left Real Madrid and joined Los Angeles Galaxy, Xu Can was able to see him frequently, even going to his house once for a Kaorou Sect party.
The relationship between the neighbors was quite good.
Old Beckham had sharp eyes and spotted the two cars parked in front of the garage in Xu Can's courtyard.
One was an Audi RS6, that was Emma Stone's car;
the other was a tall and mighty Hummer H2, obviously the ride of 180cm-tall Taylor Swift.
As Xu Can's neighbor, Beckham knew a bit about his affairs.
That the two big stars, Emma "833" and Taylor, often stayed overnight at Xu Can's house was no longer a secret.
But seeing them come together was the first time, no wonder Old Beckham was quite curious.
"I finally know why Xu is outside."
"He's quite bold, calling both girls to his house." Sister Bei Victoria understood instantly.
"Hehe, a bit interesting, I believe Xu Can will definitely handle it well."
"Hmm? Do you want to do that too?" Sister Bei's beautiful eyes glared at Old Beckham.
Beckham had never been so flustered even when glared at by Ferguson; he quickly forced a smile:
"Nowhere, nowhere, I only have you."
Looking at the spicy girl beside him, Beckham couldn't help but admire Xu Can even more; how did he manage to get two proud and beautiful women?
After a cigarette went out, Xu Can returned to the villa.
On the living room sofa, Emma Stone and Taylor Swift sat at opposite ends, arms crossed, pretending the other didn't exist.
Originally, they had called to invite Xu Can to celebrate the New Year together, but they didn't expect Xu Can to actually call both of them to his house.
After all this, it turned out Xu Can hadn't cut off contact with the other one?
But neither dared to directly confirm what level of relationship the other had with Xu Can now,
for if the other really had a very intimate relationship with Xu Can, would that mean they had to withdraw?
At the same time, both were quite angry at Xu Can's behavior,
and under the influence of various complex factors, the atmosphere was temporarily frozen; neither leaving nor staying was an option.
Seeing Xu Can return, two pairs of beautiful eyes, filled with killing intent, glared at Xu Can; if it weren't for his good psychological quality, an ordinary person would really not be able to hold it together.
"Bright, what do you mean?"
Taylor Swift asked first with a cold face.
Before, she either called him "Dear" or used Xu Can's Chinese name; calling him by his English name in such a business-like manner showed Taylor Swift's current mood.
Sister Stone said nothing, only glaring at Xu Can with her "Lord of the Rings Gollum"-like eyes.
"OK, OK, listen to me."
Xu Can sat calmly on the sofa in front of the two, without the slightest embarrassment,
"This time I called you here is not for private matters, but for public matters, serious matters."
"What?"
Both women were stunned; what serious matter could there be?
"It's like this, there is a movie, I want to invite you both to participate. A low-budget film, the shooting schedule is very short, it can be finished in a month, we will strive for a quick victory."
"Wait, you called us to make a movie?"
Taylor Swift was stunned,
"But I have no acting experience!"
Sister Stone was also puzzled: "There are so many actresses in Hollywood, why do you want her to make a movie?"
Sure enough, before the words were out, Taylor Swift felt a bit indignant again:
"What? Can't I make a movie? Dear said I can, then I definitely have no problem."
"Who-the-he11-do-you-think-you-are? Who are you calling Dear?" Sister Stone was furious.
"My boyfriend, why not?"
"Hmm? That's my boyfriend, mine!"
Both looked at Xu Can simultaneously: "Dear (Baby), say something."
"From now on," Xu Can's expression was very serious, "whoever argues one more sentence will be asked to leave my house."
"Remember, I invited you to discuss serious matters."
Seeing Xu Can's strictly businesslike attitude, the two women finally realized the gravity of the situation.
They both knew Xu Can treated filmmaking seriously, tolerating not the slightest flaw.
Stone Sister especially — she had personally seen some supporting actors treat their performances carelessly and be fired on the spot by Xu Can, without any room for negotiation.
If you NG because of ability, Xu Can Society will carefully walk you through the scene, breaking it down into the easiest way to understand and improve your performance.
But if your attitude isn't serious — failing to memorize your lines because of your own issues, going through the motions —
Xu Can would absolutely not tolerate such behavior.
The same applies to the current situation: since he had already made it clear that this was serious business, that he was preparing to shoot a film,
if the two of them kept causing trouble, they would surely hit his landmine. Since that was the case,
Stone Sister was willing to temporarily set aside her prejudice and help Xu Can make this film well together.
