Chapter 258

He wore a faint smile, gazing across the distance at the radiant Taylor Swift on stage!

"As expected, she's the most beautiful on stage—really, is this the Taylor I know?"

Xu Can sighed at the same time.

Today's Taylor was truly stunningly beautiful.

"Oh oh oh oh—"

"OMG!"

The moment the entire audience caught sight of Xu Can, an even louder cheer than before erupted!

The very man Taylor had applied to confess to had actually shown up at the venue!

Moreover, the fans who knew the scene were basically all Xu Can's movie fans—everyone knew he had only just appeared at the Source Code premiere yesterday,

and this morning he was still in Los Santos doing a roadshow, and in the afternoon he held a fan meet-and-greet,

the fans had originally thought Xu Can wouldn't show up in New York, but he was like Superman, arriving right on time!

And that wasn't even the most explosive part.

Under the expectant gazes of Taylor and all the fans, a rope resembling Spider-Man's web shot from Xu Can's hand toward the main stage!

Xu Can, without any safety measures, gripped the rope with his bare hands,

and like Spider-Man, swung from the distant stands to the airspace above the main stage!

"WTF???"

"Spider-Man?!"

"He can really do it!"

Under the cameras' capture, amid the stunned stares of the entire audience,

Xu Can truly did fly above the stage and hung upside down, just like Spider-Man!

Taylor could hold back no longer—tears burst forth—and she rushed over to embrace Xu Can and plant a deep kiss on him!

Remember back on SNL Saturday Night Live, the two weren't that close yet, only meeting for the second time.

Xu Can had secretly stolen a kiss from Taylor, which made her blush with shyness.

Now, Taylor held nothing back, and in front of tens of thousands of people, deeply kissed Xu Can.

The audience below were all dumbfounded, collectively petrified.

This was clearly the classic move of Peter Parker and Gwen—yet Taylor had snatched it in real life!

Xu Can himself hadn't expected this twist!

Earlier, when Taylor was planning the stage, Xu Can had actually secretly gotten wind of her arrangements.

The director and on-site setup were all people from his own company—he knew the situation even better than Taylor.

So Taylor had designed a segment where she and Xu Can would appear together, and Xu Can had already been secretly preparing.

Then he deliberately said he couldn't make it, leaving Taylor a bit disappointed, 【】

only to give her a surprise afterward.

Xu Can even got Sony Pictures to lend him the full Spider-Man gear, as well as a web-like rope.

This way, relying on Spider-Man's physical fitness and reflexes, he could complete an aerial swing, arrive above the stage, and make a perfect entrance.

After Xu Can secretly contacted the on-site director to arrange all this, he had originally planned to land in a cool pose beside Taylor.

He hadn't expected that the moment he came down on the rope, Taylor would beat him to it and kiss him first.

The two inadvertently completed a classic scene from Spider-Man.

The concert's stage effect was maxed out!

All the audience responded with the warmest applause and cheers! Many of Xu Can's movie fans and fans' anticipation screamed themselves hoarse.

Many clueless tourists in New York's Times Square didn't even realize what had happened.

"What's going on? An explosion? Suddenly there's a tremor!"

Amid this crazy scene, Emma Stone in the distant stands watched all this silently.

A while back she had publicly declared her love and seized the initiative, edging slightly ahead of Taylor.

She hadn't expected that today it would be her turn to suffer the backlash,

the exclusive moment of Gwen and Spider-Man had also been snatched away by Taylor.

But this scene was so stunning that Emma Stone had to admit, the two of them really did look like a perfect match on stage.

"Maybe... I should just leave?"

Stone finally steeled herself to leave, but she couldn't bear to.

She could only watch the embracing, kissing pair on stage with mixed feelings, feeling like a dog herself.

After the upside-down kiss of the century, Xu Can flipped nimbly through the air and landed lightly, embracing Taylor.

"Let me introduce everyone—this is Spider-Man, the youngest Oscar Best Director, Oscar Best Actor, and... my man! Xu Can!"

Taylor, in high spirits, announced to the whole world from the radiant stage that Xu Can was her man.

At this moment, the concert's atmosphere instantly peaked!

……

"Taylor Swift's concert boldly announces her romance with Xu Can—the two-women-one-man rivalry escalates!"

"Pop princess's concert opener stages a Spider-Man iconic scene! Taylor confesses love to new Oscar Best Actor, competing with Emma Stone for Xu Can!"

"Spider-Man performed live at the concert! The most heart-stopping moment in history! Taylor Swift's stage has gone god-tier!"

The next day, all of North America, even the world's entertainment media, exploded.

Xu Can and Taylor going this bold was practically announcing to the whole world, confirming all the past rumors.

Now everyone knew that Emma Stone was competing with Taylor Swift for the same man!

Xu Can once again found himself thrust into the eye of the storm!

Faced with close-up media interviews after the concert ended, Xu Can had only one line:

"Source Code is currently in theaters, starring Taylor Swift and Emma Stone—everyone's welcome to go see it."

You caused the biggest news story in all of America, and you used the interview as an ad?

North American netizens were completely dumbfounded by Xu Can's move; they had still been planning to dig deeper into the two's romance and feast on the gossip.

And that's all?

But after this uproar, Source Code's box office not only took the weekly box office crown but raked in $37.5 million over the weekend,

and in the following days it went on a crazy surge!

Breaking $200 million in a single week!

A film made on a budget of only $10 million is about to earn over 40 times its cost!.
