Chapter 303: Picking Up DC on the Side! You Can't Shoot It, So I Will!

The scenario Xu Can had imagined never came to pass. During the few days of vacation on Hong Kong Island,

Mei Mei and Emma Stone seemed to have reached some kind of agreement,

that whenever Xu Can made a move, one of the two of them would inevitably stick close by, single-covering Xu Can.

Sometimes they even linked up to defend together.

And with Kristen there backing them up, they simply never gave Xu Can a chance to be alone with Scarlett Johansson.

Their defense was even tighter than Van Dijk and Leonard.

Ten Hag should sign Taylor Swift and Emma Stone to replace the injured Varane and Lindelof,

then his record wouldn't be this bad.

Besides that, the two of them had put aside past grudges and were taking turns draining Xu Can's energy.

Xu Can could tell that, in order to reduce their romantic rivals, Stone Sis and Mei Mei had really gone all out.

No matter how much they hadn't gotten along before, now they could actually present a united front against the outside.

"Hey, when did you two get so close?"

"We've always been close, right, Emma?"

Mei Mei, being tall, threw an arm around the 1.6-meter Emma Stone, looking every bit like a bandit queen.

Stone Sis shot her a helpless, disdainful glance, swatted Mei Mei's hand away,

"Not really, we're just temporary."

"Huh?" Mei Mei's expression fell a little. "I thought we could actually be friends."

"Who'd want to be friends with you? Xu Can was clearly mine first…"

"Oh right, we're fair competition." Mei Mei suddenly remembered.

"I really can't with you." Emma Stone let out a long sigh.

After spending so much time with Mei Mei, she genuinely didn't dislike this brash, silly girl—in fact, she quite liked her.

So Emma Stone could set aside her prejudice and deliberately pull her into the game.

Soon, three days passed, and the brief Hong Kong Island vacation came to an end.

Three days spent on nothing but watching five swimsuit-clad superstars splash around at the beach, slathering sunscreen on each other, or soaking in the bathtub,

utterly uneventful, boring.

Xu Can had to get back to his tense, thrilling work!

"So, you're still taking Scarlett Johansson to the set alone?"

"Obviously, she's my leading lady. Who else would I take?"

"Then I'll star in it for you."

"Fine."

Emma Stone was helpless.

She knew perfectly well that in other areas she could joke around with Xu Can however she liked,

but in the realm of filmmaking, this was his territory, and no one was allowed to interfere.

Xu Can maintained an absolutely professional attitude toward every single step of filming,

and since he said Scarlett Johansson fit the role, he must have his reasons—he would never mess around with something like this.

Indeed, Xu Can had genuinely considered every factor and concluded that Scarlett Johansson was suited to be the leading lady.

But that didn't stop him from flirting with Nat.

While filming a movie, one had to communicate and build rapport.

That was the only way for the male and female leads to get into character.

……

According to Xu Can's plan, the filming of Pacific Rim would be wrapped up within three months,

so it could line up perfectly with the late-July summer blockbuster season and the promotional release work for Interstellar.
