Chapter 258
"Yeah, our car is spacious and comfortable to sit in."
The several illegal taxi drivers hadn't given up yet and were pestering them on the side.
The young man pointed outside: "Look, my car is here."
Before the drivers could react, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan slowly drove into the parking lane.
When the drivers turned their heads, their eyes almost popped out.
One of them couldn't help but speak out.
"Holy crap?"
A big Rolls-Royce coming to pick them up?
In a dump like Zhenhai City, how many big Rolls-Royces could there be?
Amidst the dumbfounded expressions of a group of drivers and surrounding passengers, Xu Can took the three foreign beauties and got into that Cullinan.
As for the luggage, there was actually another car behind,
with a professional driver in a suit and white gloves putting the luggage into the car and following the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
As the two cars slowly drove away, the petrified illegal taxi drivers and the petrified passengers slowly came back to their senses.
"Who was driving that big Rolls-Royce?"
"Could it be that person?"
"Hey, besides him, who else could it be in Zhenhai City? I didn't expect our Zhenhai City's international superstar to be visiting incognito."
"Ah!" The several illegal taxi drivers beat their chests and stamped their feet.
If they had known, they could have sold this news to those fan groups and made a fortune!
"Speaking of which, his *Spider-Man 3* is really damn good; I've watched it 3 times with my son."
"I like watching it too."
Early February, approaching the Lunar New Year.
The blockbuster *Spider-Man 3: The Sinister Six*, co-produced by Xu Can and Sony, was currently a hit.
Previously, *The Avengers* set a box office record on its first day in the mainland market, an astronomical figure of 200 million RMB.
Unexpectedly, only a month later, it was broken by *Spider-Man 3: The Sinister Six*!
First-day box office of 220 million RMB! Once again shocking the mainland film and television industry!
Fortunately, film companies in the domestic entertainment industry had learned their lesson; seeing the name Xu Can, they immediately retreated.
Their movies were all scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Influenced by Xu Can, the Spring Festival slot in the mainland market appeared 3 years early.
Chow Yun-fat's *Confucius*, Donnie Yen's *14 Blades*, the Hong Kong film *All's Well, Ends Well 2010*, Jackie Chan's *Little Big Soldier*...
Numerous films avoided the three monsters near the New Year: *Avatar*, *The Avengers*, and *Spider-Man 3*.
Who the hell could afford to provoke them?
*Avatar* had been crushed by Xu Can; the only one who could beat Xu Can was Xu Can himself!
*The Avengers* was on the verge of breaking the 1.6 billion USD box office mark.
*Spider-Man 3: The Sinister Six* opened in North America; although it didn't break *The Avengers*' 110 million USD record on its first day,
its opening weekend refreshed the 235 million USD record just set by *The Avengers*!
With a narrow lead of 5 million USD, it achieved a new opening weekend record of 240 million USD!
The world was shocked!
According to predictions by *Vanity Fair* magazine,
the only ones capable of beating the box office of *Spider-Man 3: The Sinister Six* would be *The Avengers 2* and subsequent *Avengers* sequels.
"No one else will be able to surpass the monument created by Xu Can for at least 50 years!"
"Xu Can's superhero movie era has ushered in its first golden age! He will continue to rule for 10 years!"
*Spider-Man 3: The Sinister Six* brought a perfect conclusion to the globally popular *Spider-Man* trilogy.
The film provided a certain closure to the previous stories.
At the same time, it served as a bridge, successfully integrating *Spider-Man 3* into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This Spider-Man was not the "beloved son" of Tony Stark from the previous life.
The entire film was the result of Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen's own efforts, with the Avengers members just making a cameo at the end.
Spider-Man's movie fans wouldn't feel sad either,
because they would still be able to see Spider-Man's figure in subsequent Avengers films.
Moreover, the film was full of action scenes that made people's heart rates soar!
Xu Can had gone all out this time, pushing the most advanced and coolest dynamic cinematography techniques to the extreme!
The action design was recognized in the industry as the ceiling of Hollywood!
"I have never seen such gorgeous, imaginative, and yet fluid action design and choreography!"
"The final battle between the Sinister Six and the three heroes, the long take was played to perfection by Xu Can!"
"It is simply the most memorable visual feast in recent years!"
"Relatively speaking, the concurrent film *Avatar* really pales in comparison..."
Film critic Roger Ebert commented as such.
"Furthermore, the character portrayals in the film, while not numerous, are deep enough to touch the heart."
Besides the 6 villains, 1 anti-hero Venom who was both good and evil, there were also Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen, the two most popular stars!
These characters all had commendable aspects and didn't feel too chaotic.
Especially Spider-Gwen, who became completely popular worldwide!
In a recent poll initiated by Facebook with over 100 million votes,
Spider-Gwen ranked in the Top 3 most popular female anime characters of the last 10 years!
Xu Can didn't use too many words, yet he successfully established Spider-Gwen's character.
In the film, this character left an extremely profound impression on the audience.
So much so that, as a result, even the popularity of the actress Emma Stone soared.
World-renowned directors were constantly looking for Emma Stone to film.
According to *Los Santos Daily*'s projections, Emma Stone would become the highest-earning actress in Hollywood!
The second place was the rapidly rising Scarlett Johansson!
And in the Western pop music scene, the highest annual income female singer was about to be crowned by Taylor Swift!
Who could have imagined that three of the world's top idols were squeezed into the same Rolls-Royce, and were even in China.
"I'm here to take you to experience the charm of the traditional Chinese Spring Festival."
"So, why is it the three of us? You're not even pretending anymore, are you?"
Taylor Swift said with an unfriendly tone.
"Aren't you... good friends? Good friends traveling to China together is a good thing." Xu Can asked back.
The three looked at each other, defeated by Xu Can's thick skin.
Xu Can's low-key return to the country this time was mainly because he hadn't seen his parents for a long time, and he had promised to spend the New Year with them last year.
This year he finally came back to see them, and he even brought three "foreign daughters-in-law."
Let the old lady choose slowly.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Can entered the villa gate with Taylor Swift, Emma Stone, and Scarlett Johansson,
his mother was directly stunned.
"What is this..."
"Hello, Auntie."
The three tall foreign beauties said in unison, behaving obediently.
Xu Can's mother was dazed for a moment, then laughed from ear to ear.
She enthusiastically welcomed them in, almost locking Xu Can outside and forgetting her own biological son.
During the 7 days of the New Year, Xu Can took the three big stars to visit relatives,
shocking the relatives for the whole year!
Remember when he was in college, these relatives would ask during the New Year:
"When are you going to find a partner?"
"You're not young anymore, it's time to find a partner!"
