There are still masters?

"Why should they be jealous? What do you think our relationship is?"

Even in front of the two women, Xu Can faced Black Widow with an air of calm, watching her with a faint, elusive smile.

Black Widow was left speechless.

Even though she had been sharing her daily life with Xu Can every day before, talking on the phone or online for an hour or two at a time.

They could talk from Hollywood all the way to life philosophy, chatting even more than couples in love.

But so what?

"I was just joking. Don't mind me; there's nothing between him and me."

Scarlett Johansson could only smile and leave.

But Taylor Swift and Emma Stone didn't buy it; after Black Widow left, the two of them stared at Xu Can in unison.

"Why are you looking at me? She said she was joking."

"Like I'd believe that!"

In a fit of anger, Taylor Swift and Emma Stone actually left Xu Can behind and walked arm-in-arm to their seats.

Seeing this scene, Xu Can couldn't help but laugh.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. When internal strife never ceases, external enemies often find it easier to forge unity.

Taylor Swift and Emma Stone hadn't discussed it, yet they both chose to present a united front against the outside.

It is common knowledge that every actress Xu Can has collaborated with has had rumors of romance with him.

Emma Roberts in the past, Anne Hathaway later, and Marvel collaborators Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow...

Who knows how many female stars he will provoke in the future?

To avoid having more and more opponents, it was better for the two of them to cooperate to eliminate the competition.

At least it ensures the competitor is known inside and out, and there is only one of them.

"Truce?"

"Mm."

Emma Stone and Taylor Swift exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

In fact, after spending so many days together filming, both felt the other was not bad, and even had aspects that attracted them.

Xu Can never expected that their past-life bestie souls would awaken again.

Throughout the entire Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the two acted as if they had planned it, leaving Xu Can out in the cold, chatting among themselves and ignoring him completely.

It seemed they intended to protest his ambiguity with Black Widow.

This was exactly what Xu Can wanted.

After navigating between the two for so many days of filming, his head was already starting to ache.

Now he was happy to have some peace and quiet, quietly watching the awards ceremony.

First, the television awards; Xu Can scored the first point.

"The Big Bang Theory" defeated "30 Rock," winning the Best Television Series in the Musical or Comedy category!

Jim Parsons, the lead actor of "The Big Bang Theory" who played Xie Erdun, won the Best Actor in a Television Series in the Musical or Comedy category!

When Jim Parsons went on stage to accept the award, he didn't forget to thank Xu Can.

"Oh my god, I really can't believe this day has come."

"Before, in Hollywood, I only had lines in one TV show; the rest of the time I was an extra... A master's degree in classical drama didn't seem to help much; maybe I speak too comically."

"Xie Erdun," Jim Parsons chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"I originally planned to give up on film and television and focus on performing plays in small theaters. But producer Xu Can found me; that was Spider-Man! Do you know how excited I was at the time?"

"Thanks to Mr. Xu's encouragement, I met good friends in the TV series and stood on the podium..."

Even Xu Can was somewhat surprised; "The Big Bang Theory" seemed to have never won a Golden Globe before, only receiving several Emmy Awards.

This time, the "TBBT" he launched exploded globally on CBS and his own GalaxyTV+.

Xie Erdun, Leonard, Howard, Raj, and Penny, these actors became overnight global sensations, shooting up from obscurity to fame.

The popularity seemed much higher than in the past life!

Perhaps it was because of the business card "produced by Xu Can, guaranteed masterpiece," more people were willing to learn about this series.

Finally, the film awards arrived; "La La Land" won victory after victory!

The Golden Globe for Best Original Song "City of Stars" and Best Original Score for "La La Land" consecutively won two music awards.

This was obviously without suspense; musicals already held an advantage, let alone that the music of "La La Land" was first-class.

Even the Billboard Top 100 had two songs from the film, illustrating the influence of this musical.

Unfortunately, the Golden Globe for Best Original Screenplay was awarded to Simon Beaufoy, the screenwriter of "Slumdog Millionaire."

Xu Can had expected this result all along.

To be honest, the plot of "La La Land" was just so-so.

The key was the film's entire mode of expression, and the final flashback, which became the finishing touch.

The climax of the entire story was also condensed into that seven-minute flashback.

The most crucial part was yet to come with the following awards.

"The winner for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy at the 66th Golden Globe Awards is..."

Presenter Angelina Jolie opened the envelope with a charming smile,

The camera lens swept across Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Emma Stone.

Today Annie came to the scene and had a brief encounter with Xu Can.

But she seemed to have made up her mind, and did not step forward to chat with Xu Can, behaving rather distant.

Watching the award about to be announced, her gaze couldn't help but drift toward Xu Can.

She only heard Angelina Jolie read out the winner:

"Emma Stone! From 'La La Land'! Congratulations!"

An excited Stone rose happily, while Taylor Swift beside her was even more thrilled than Stone herself.

Because Mia is one of TayTay's favorite characters!

The two women had been on the verge of drawing swords just hours ago, and now they were embracing in celebration — it made Xu Can click his tongue in astonishment.

At the moment of receiving the award, Stone also forgot about "punishing" Xu Can; her eyes welled with tears as she hugged him.

"Baby, I won!"

"Go on up — this is your moment."

Xu Can gave her a light kiss on the lips, right in front of the broadcast cameras and the entire audience.

This best on-screen couple is basically public now, and everyone took it in stride. 【】

Yet Taylor Swift's feelings at this moment were complicated.

She wanted to feel jealous, but discovered that she actually found this scene beautiful?

???

TayTay couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. In any case, she envied this moment even more,

only hoping that she too could share such joy with Xu Can on such a grand occasion.

Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, Emma Stone, went on stage and delivered a string of acceptance remarks, thanking Xu Can, thanking the crew...

She even imitated Xu Can's speech at last year's Golden Globes.

"I remember Xu Can said last time to save the acceptance speech for the Oscars. I think that makes a lot of sense — the full version of my speech, I'll reveal it on the Oscar stage..."

The whole audience erupted!

Has Stone been around Xu Can so long that she's become this sharp-tongued too?

Publicly booking the Oscar Best Actress in advance?

Even a big name like Meryl Streep wouldn't dare that!

The media buzzed with discussion, but the actors and guests on site all gave Stone a thumbs-up — for instance, Oscar Best Actress Auntie Meryl.

Anne Hathaway also gazed at her enviously.

TayTay was even ready to whistle and cheer: "Way to go, Emma! That's the way!"

Xu Can couldn't resist teasing: "Since when did you two get so close?"

"Jealous? What's wrong with us being close?" TayTay arched a beautiful brow and retorted.
