Chapter 243

When comic book sales performance is poor, the headquarters still has to provide blood transfusions to DC Comics.

The screenwriters in the DC film production department, as well as DC head Zack Snyder, are bored to death all day long.

Especially Zack Snyder, who sends emails to Xu Can every day, asking when DC films will start and when the scripts will be ready.

Xu Can replies: "Writing it, writing it~~."

The box office and word-of-mouth for the Warner version of "Batman v Superman" were a total flop, dragging the DC Universe back into the abyss.

The popularity accumulated by "The Dark Knight" has plummeted, and a brand-new series needs to be rebooted.

As the face of DC, Superman is naturally the core IP.

So, Xu Can plans to start production on "Man of Steel" at the same time as "X-Men: First Class."

He has already sent people to keep an eye on Henry Cavill's schedule in advance and is currently in communication with him.

Xu Can will help him make up for the regrets of the Henry Cavill Superman from his past life.

"Man of Steel," the director's cut of "Batman v Superman," "Wonder Woman," the director's cut of "Justice League," "The Flash"...

Between 2010 and 2011, these DC works will be successively brought to the big screen.

In the Galaxy Entertainment annual report, Xu Can has already assigned the plans and tasks.

Happy, Vanessa, Zack Snyder, Kevin Feige, and others will execute them methodically according to Xu Can's plan.

Even if Xu Can doesn't personally supervise every film, he has his own arrangements for 2010 when he steps away to film.

Yes, it is "The Three-Body Problem"!

This is Xu Can's most important SSS-level plan for 2010.

He originally started preparing for filming at the end of '09, but as a semi-original film, Xu Can hopes to start shooting in the best possible state.

Currently, the film script has been mostly adapted; when the time comes, he will communicate with Liu Cixin again and invite Guo Fan, Gong Ge'er, and others to consult together.

He strives to bring this sci-fi masterpiece to the big screen in its original flavor.

In addition to "The Three-Body Problem" trilogy, there are also Oscar-chasing films like "Birdman," "Life of Pi," and "Manchester by the Sea."

Although the Oscar statuette is becoming increasingly watered down, if you can get one just by casually filming a movie, why not?

Box office, word-of-mouth, and awards—he wants to grasp all three firmly!

"Everyone understands the work plan for next year, right? The formal meeting ends here. How is the following party arranged?"

Xu Can's serious expression becomes relaxed; on the last day of 2009, the whole company has worked hard for a year, and it's worth relaxing.

Considering that time management needs to be split into three parts this year, spending New Year's Eve separately isn't very realistic.

With last year's experience, Xu Can naturally invites the three beauties to spend New Year's Eve together again.

Last year, there was the filming of "Source Code" as a cover.

This year, the cover for New Year's Eve is the Galaxy Entertainment New Year's party!

That's right, on this evening, at the Beverly Hills Hotel ballroom,

Xu Can invites all members of Galaxy Entertainment, plus friends from the film and television circle and celebrities from all walks of life, to participate in this New Year's party together.

If it were two years ago, the scale of the party probably couldn't be this large; most people knew him as Spider-Man, and whether they would give him face was uncertain.

Today, Xu Can is already an Oscar-winning director, a Best Actor, a creator of single-day box office records exceeding 100 million, the father of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the helmsman of a Hollywood entertainment giant!

No one can ignore Xu Can's current status!

Even if he didn't invite them, many big-name stars and investors would come uninvited.

Xu Can simply sent out invitations, turning it into a Hollywood feast!

This news was released a month ago.

Xu Can's invitation has become like the golden ticket of Willy Wonka in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"!

Whoever gets an invitation is considered a cut above in the Hollywood circle!

Even A-list male stars like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and Al Pacino,

half of whom are Xu Can's friends, have almost all expressed their willingness to come.

No one would have thought that Xu Can's original purpose was just to spend New Year's Eve with three girls.

As a result, this New Year's Eve has a bunch more girls; not just Kristen,

Anne Hathaway, Emma Roberts, Ariana Grande, and other actresses with good relationships with Xu Can will all be present.

Xu Can completely handed over the hosting of this New Year's party to Vanessa, believing she would definitely be able to handle it properly.

"Everything has been arranged, boss. In three hours, you might need to prepare in advance to walk the red carpet."

"Eh?" Xu Can was slightly stunned. "A party held in a personal capacity still needs a red carpet?"

"Yes, this also counts as a Hollywood grand event; many stars took the initiative to ask for and request a red carpet segment..."

Xu Can thinks about it and can understand; this Galaxy Entertainment annual meeting is essentially a top-tier show for the Hollywood vanity fair.

Stars from all walks of life arriving one after another will naturally attract the attention of countless media.

Renting out the advertising wall for the red carpet segment not only saves costs but might even make a small profit.

Vanessa is truly a genius.

"Fine, as long as you've arranged it... By the way, what about the others?"

Vanessa naturally understands what Xu Can means.

"Taylor, Emma, and Scarlett have already been notified; luxury cars will pick them up at the time, and they will attend together."

"Hmm, let's do it that way."

They only managed to hide from Xu Can for 2 days by joining forces; won't they have to obediently come into his arms?

Xu Can finds it funny just thinking about it; the three of them are still too naive.

The Galaxy Entertainment New Year's feast is about to begin!
