Chapter 24

Amidst the breathless attention of the entire audience,

Xu Can took off into the air! He completed a series of high-difficulty mid-air spin kicks!

That wasn't all!

Next, Xu Can used a cool method comparable to acrobatics to restore Spider-Man’s signature moves from the film one by one!

You have to know, he was wearing a crisp black suit at this moment!

Being able to perform the moves from the movie was even more difficult! It was even more shocking than the movie!

The whole place was completely stunned, staring blankly at Xu Can as he landed like a superhero, ending the performance stylishly.

Silence!

Only some audience members who secretly took cameras faithfully recorded this shocking performance!

Until the premiere ended and the fans walked out of the theater one after another, everyone was still in a state of shock.

At the end of the Q&A session, Xu Can’s flashy moves left everyone with their jaws dropped in shock.

Including director Marc Webb.

He thought Xu Can would just pose a few moves to make a point,

but he didn't expect the guy to be for real!

Being able to perform those spandex stunt moves in a suit?

Chinese kung-fu is so badass!

After Xu Can finished performing, he didn't even pant, still asking the reporter with a steady voice:

"How about it, any other questions?"

The *New York Times* reporter quickly sat down, wishing she could dig a hole and bury herself.

The aggressive way she asked questions just now was gone.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that with Xu Can’s skills, who was qualified to be his stunt double?

The audience ended the premiere in shock, and after they left and their emotions recovered, they couldn't help but talk about the movie just now.

"Spider-Man is so handsome! It’s perfectly faithful to the comics."

"I’m finally relieved; the previous movies were adapted so outrageously!"

"Although this one was also adapted, it was very comfortable to watch!"

"Yeah! And the casting of Spider-Man is truly amazing! The actor is simply a genius!"

Leonard was excited; this was truly the most perfect live-action Spider-Man movie in his heart.

"What do you say, guys?"

"Do we still need to hesitate? Let’s go!"

Howard waved his hand to lead the way.

Of course, they weren't going home, but turned to walk to the ticket office next door, planning to buy tickets to watch the movie a second time!

Watching it once really wasn't enough!

However, there were quite a few fans with the same idea.

The line at the ticket window was already endless.

"Damn, these people move so fast?"

"Outrageous! Why!"

"It’s all your fault, making you go to the bathroom!"

Leonard complained to Sheldon; he had delayed the time just now.

"Hmm? I have a scheduled bowel movement every day; besides, if you were in a hurry, you should have gone to line up first, why wait for me?"

"Hey, forget it, forget it, let’s grab tickets for tomorrow."

Just then, a guy next to them spoke up:

"Don't even think about it, the tickets for next week are all sold out; you guys should try another theater."

"Ah?"

Online booking wasn't popular at this time, and tickets were basically bought at offline windows.

And mobile internet wasn't popularized yet; there was no mature social network, and the reach of Face was limited.

Everyone couldn't grab tickets online and couldn't release news immediately.

The outside world couldn't feel the influence of *Spider-Man* for the time being.

A few blocks away from the Galaxy Theater, some theaters didn't need to line up at all, and outsiders were basically in a wait-and-see state.

"Let’s watch a late-night movie today? How about *The Pursuit of Happyness*?"

In a relatively empty theater, a young man and woman were looking at the schedule.

"I’ve heard of it, it’s a drama; I want to watch a big-budget movie."

"*Casino Royale*? It hasn't left theaters yet, it’s quite good."

"Watched it, watched it with you last time, forgot?"

"Uh... *Happy Feet*? Wait, there’s also a *Spider-Man*?"

"Wow! The lead actor is quite handsome, let’s go with *Spider-Man*!"

"Not watching, an Asian playing Spider-Man? Stop joking, I won't watch it even if I die."

The white man looked disdainful.

Before the two could decide, a crowd of people suddenly rushed out from outside.

The white man was startled, thinking this group of people was here to rob the place.

"Don't, don't, don't, let’s talk things out."

Unexpectedly, this group of people just rushed to the ticket window.

"Spider-Man! 3 tickets! Midnight screening!"

"Me too, Spider-Man, 2 tickets!"

"Spider-Man, 6 tickets!"

"Line up, don't crowd!"

The white man was stunned; were these people crazy? Watching a Spider-Man played by an Asian?

"Buddy, is it that good?"

"Nonsense, if it wasn't good, why would we be grabbing tickets? It’s simply the best movie in the last 5 years! Move aside, don't block me."

"Ah?"

The white man was skeptical and planned to line up to buy tickets, but the line was already very long.

"Jessica, should we just go back?"

"Hmph." Jessica sneered, "I already bought a ticket, just bought one. You don't want to watch it, right? You go back yourself."

"Ah?"

The white man regretted it so much; if he had known, he would have bought a ticket just now; he could have scored after watching the movie at night.

Now it was probably ruined.

He was very puzzled: is *Spider-Man* played by an Asian really good? Why are these people going crazy grabbing tickets?

It wasn't just the theaters near Hollywood in Los Santos; fans buying midnight screenings of *Spider-Man* in other regions were gradually increasing.

At the Time Warner headquarters building, CEO Dick Parsons was listening to a subordinate’s report.

"How is it, what do the media at the scene think?"

"Mr. Parsons, I’m afraid our *Superman Returns* has run into a tough opponent."

Compared to Marvel selling copyrights everywhere, hitting here and there,

DC’s copyrights were all in Warner’s hands.

There were pros and cons; the pro was that Warner was large-scale and easier to develop IPs,
