You're here, I was just planning to visit you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin Feige, the Marvel president, was very enthusiastic and came to the door to greet him personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just had a meal with Mr. Stringer, and since it was close, I just came over to talk to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can scanned the Marvel Studios office while exchanging pleasantries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were indeed doing very badly now; the office environment looked a bit old, and the office desks, chairs, and supplies were all old items used for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It highlighted the down-and-out atmosphere of a company on the verge of bankruptcy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office of \"Galaxy-Picture,\" which Xu Can had just founded, looked much more decent than Marvel Studios.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kevin Feige's expression was a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can only work here for the time being; the rent elsewhere is too expensive... but with the success of *Spider-Man* and its sequel this time, we can improve the environment a little bit. Come with me, let's go to the office and talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at Kevin Feige's president office, Xu Can didn't stand on ceremony and sat on the sofa naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding the Spider-Man sequel...\" Kevin Feige was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, Kevin. We can talk about Spider-Man later; I came here this time to talk about something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Xu, what ideas do you have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin Feige was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you preparing to take out a loan to shoot a superhero movie yourself?\" Xu Can looked at the other party with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Xu, your information is too well-informed. We do have this idea recently...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin Feige was quite surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the 2002 version of *Spider-Man* didn't exist, *Spider-Man* only became popular at the end of 2006.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marvel in desperation saw a glimmer of hope, and Kevin Feige was preparing to take out a loan these days, taking advantage of the heat of Spider-Man to create a superhero movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can actually knew the news so quickly! Even the media didn't know!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Kevin Feige felt even more horrified!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me guess, is what you want to shoot... Iron Man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy Shit! Xu, is this your Eastern witchcraft?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin Feige was shocked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The change in the world line, *Iron Man*, which should have been released in 2008, hadn't even been established yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The popular IPs were all in the hands of others and hadn't been recovered yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin Feige only figured it out this morning, planning to salvage Iron Man from the third-tier IPs and shoot it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can knew this too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chinese youth in front of him suddenly appeared unfathomable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a Marvel fan, I like the characters inside very much, so I participated in Spider-Man, and I am interested in participating and jointly developing other IPs...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, what you want to create is not just a single movie. With so many superheroes, it can completely form a big web.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, the Avengers... using numerous superhero movies to create a Marvel Cinematic Universe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can's words hit Kevin Feige's heart heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, someone understood his idea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being respectfully sent out of the Marvel Studios gate by Kevin Feige, Xu Can secretly punched the air and left satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two talked a lot about the MCU, and by the end, Kevin Feige simply treated Xu Can as a guest of honor, wishing he could start developing the MCU project with him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, both sides reached an agreement, and Xu Can participated in Marvel film development as the MCU chief consultant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Xu Can would invest the box office of his next movie to shoot *Iron Man* together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Kevin Feige planned to take out a loan of 500 million from the bank with the mentality of \"better to be broken jade than intact tile,\" and bet his whole fortune on Iron Man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with Xu Can's participation, Kevin Feige finally felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew this wave was stable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xu Can participating in the creation, *Iron Man* would definitely be able to replicate the miracle of *Spider-Man*!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at the global public opinion now; just open any film and television media, and it must be blowing up about the success of *Spider-Man*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After *Spider-Man* was released simultaneously globally, it quickly topped the box office champion of various countries in just a few days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cumulative global box office had already exceeded 800 million! Breaking 1 billion was just a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Marvel Studios to his own Galaxy-Picture, Xu Can was already sitting in a silver Mercedes-Benz SLR-McLaren supercar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stylish scissor doors opened upward, and the graceful noble young master Xu Can, wearing sunglasses, stepped out with his long legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Galaxy-Picture employees in the office were all dumbfounded watching their boss show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blonde white girl at the front desk was almost drooling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agent Happy hurried out to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My God, you finally bought a car; how much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only 450,000, help me park it in the garage; I have to go in for a project meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Can threw the car keys to Happy and walked straight into the company gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Columbia Pictures production team was already waiting inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! I'm not your valet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happy complained dissatisfiedly, then his eyes lit up, and he dragged his fat body into the driver's seat, planning to have a good time before parking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Galaxy-Picture conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The *John Wick* creative team was holding the final preparation meeting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movie was about to start filming! Expected to be released at Easter 2007!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Time Warner headquarters building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CEO Dick Parsons slumped powerlessly in his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they wanted to use *Superman Returns* to go head-to-head with *Spider-Man*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now *Spider-Man*'s box office was heading for 1 billion, while *Superman Returns* had less than 300 million in box office, which could be considered a crushing defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Superman doesn't work; why don't we reboot Batman. The superhero train has already started, and we must join in and get a piece of the pie! Such a precious resource as DC must not be wasted in vain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have an idea: invite a famous big director to reboot Batman, with a theme as close to reality as possible, digging into depth. Then invite popular actors to play the roles; maybe it can be successfully rebooted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Producer Charles Roven suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then who to invite as director? And who to invite as actor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, my idea is Christopher Nolan; his *The Prestige* released this year has great word-of-mouth. As for the actor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles Roven said firmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can't beat them, join them; let the most popular Xu Can play Batman! He can succeed in playing Spider-Man, so playing Batman will definitely be no problem!\" **CHAPTER 58**\u003C\u002Fp>",1404,"2026-06-17T04:37:49.098Z","2026-06-17T04:40:43.045Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3dfd58344509afc40f6f97fb1e7320cf326486cdda9bc9f798e6e46590d21e8c","entertainment-starting-as-spider-man-i-kiss-tayl-chapter-31","entertainment-starting-as-spider-man-i-kiss-tayl-chapter-29",319,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fentertainment-starting-as-spider-man-i-kiss-tayl-cover.jpg"]
