Chapter 335

Later, as we talked more, we discussed every topic under the sun.

Taylor Swift and Emma Stone actually grew closer.

They even started going out together—shopping! Spa days!

"You haven't told me yet—how was the premiere?"

"Nothing special—I didn't do anything wrong, I have a clear conscience."

Xu Can explained seriously.

After the premiere, Xu Can directly found Taylor Swift and went home with her.

After some probing, he realized Taylor couldn't see clearly below and was unaware of Gao Yuanyuan's hellish assault.

nor aware that Xu Can was holding both women's hands.

She only saw Xu Can whispering intimately with two women and felt a bit jealous.

"It's inconvenient to speak loudly in the theater, so I had to get closer."

"Their attitude toward you is clearly off! They obviously like you!"

"So what?" Xu Can declared with righteous vigor, "Whether they like me doesn't matter—what matters is that I treat you well. You're my girlfriend, OK?"

Perhaps Xu Can's acting was too convincing—Taylor believed his lie and stopped being jealous,

instead leaning in to smack a kiss on his cheek.

"Hehe, that's more like it. Tonight's reward."

"What's the reward?"

"I learned a yoga pose the other day—I just mastered it…"

"Good!"

Xu Can slammed the accelerator—the Bugatti instantly sped to 180!

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Emma Stone pulled Xu Can's thoughts back to the present.

"You've been learning yoga lately, right?"

Xu Can's question was abrupt, leaving Emma Stone confused.

"Yeah, I learned it with Taylor."

"Perfect. Go to the bedroom—I'll check your yoga pose."

"Huh? Now?"

"Yes, right now…"

"Hey hey hey, put me down!"

Even though they were already "old married couple" status, Stone Sister blushed furiously as Xu Can scooped her up in a bridal carry toward the bedroom.

…

Interstellar's global premiere faced some skepticism in North America; its initial box office didn't explode like mindless popcorn films.

But in Xu Can's other stronghold—the Chinese market—his Interstellar was slaughtering!

Ever since I Am Not a Pharmacist landed Xu Can on News Broadcast and Focus Interview, and he won the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Director,

Xu Can's reputation in China underwent a qualitative leap!

He has now left the film industry, ranked alongside international giants like James Cameron, Spielberg, Ang Lee, and Jiang Wen—and subtly towers above them!

Whether seasoned cinephiles or ordinary grandpas and grandmas who never cared about movies, everyone now knew Xu Can—knew that this Oscar-winning actor was Chinese.

He is indeed the only Chinese person besides Cheng Long to have won an Oscar.

Cheng Long received the Honorary Oscar—a prestigious award, but largely ceremonial.

Xu Can's film career is still ascending; he's only in his early twenties, with at least forty years ahead to make countless films.

He's already won three Oscar statuettes!

Thus, the media spared no effort promoting Xu Can's glorious achievements,

and in 2010, when the Oscars still held their highest prestige, Xu Can's accomplishments were comparable to Yao Ming in the NBA and Liu Xiang in track and field—a source of Chinese pride!

When his new film premiered, countless audiences rushed to theaters to buy tickets and support him.

Since its release in China at the end of July, Interstellar earned 450 million yuan in five days!

It quickly became a hot topic; on social media, praise and analysis of the film had flooded everywhere!

"The Tech Guy's Nine Questions Fully Decoding Interstellar"

"25 Questions to Test If You Really Understood Interstellar"

Similar science communicators either explained and worshiped the scientific concepts mentioned in the film, or frantically hunted for plot holes, busily delighted.

Sci-fi writer Han Song lavished unreserved praise on this space opera, saying it surpassed "the pinnacle" with fresh innovation, leaving him spellbound: "This creativity and world-building makes me feel inferior."

Liu Cixin, author of The Three-Body Problem, held Xu Can's Interstellar in the highest esteem.

"My place is far from the cinema—I practically trekked there to watch it. Totally worth it! I watched it twice—the visual impact of the black hole and wormhole gave me profound inspiration."

In a TV interview, Liu Cixin smiled broadly,

"Maybe after The Three-Body Problem, I'll find new creative inspiration."

The TV reporter seized the moment: "Your The Three-Body Problem is also sci-fi and enjoys high international acclaim—have you considered collaborating with Xu Can?"

"Collaborate?" Liu Cixin answered without hesitation, "I've already sold the rights—maybe Xu Can has already started production."

"What?"

The media reporters were stunned.

That evening, this explosive news even overshadowed Interstellar's momentum!

"Breaking News! Xu Can to Collaborate with Liu Cixin on a Film Adaptation of The Three-Body Problem!"

The entire nation was stunned.
