Chapter 340
Xu Can's movies are in full swing, harvesting the entire world.
His streaming media sector is also growing at high speed!
After "The Big Bang Theory" swept the globe, it has already brought a stable membership base to galaxyTV+.
The platform's paid memberships have surpassed one hundred million!
Providing fertile soil for more drama series!
The crime-themed series "Breaking Bad," initiated by Xu Can and overseen by Vince Gilligan, is about to air during the summer season.
This time Xu Can did not partner with a TV network, but will broadcast it on galaxyTV+!
With his current user base, it's enough to give this show sufficient influence!
At the same time, the first seasons of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Shameless" have both finished production and can launch smoothly.
"Spartacus" and "The Walking Dead" are also filming simultaneously.
Earlier, Emma Stone was still worried.
"You're launching so many projects at once — you've got real nerve!"
"Of course, when have you ever seen me afraid? Give me your hand, try me and see if I'm bold enough."
"Ugh… true, big-enough too-huge-for-me…"
Indeed, generally companies like HBO, NBC, CBS, AMC and others launch new series only after they already have a successful show, then pour in heavy investment.
Later, Netflix, with deep pockets, invested heavily in dramas but didn't film them all at once either — they rolled them out one by one in sequence.
Xu Can, on the other hand, is producing multiple shows simultaneously, and the capital he's pouring in is simply terrifying!
But he doesn't care, because he has a steady stream of cash cows, enough to support multiple parallel productions.
Later, the success of these series can also feed back into the company,
achieving a rapid accumulation of capital and rapid growth!
Perhaps only Xu Can, with his foresight, has the guts to do it this way,
others can't see the future and truly don't have the nerve for such a high-stakes gamble.
……
Because of Scarlett Johansson, Xu Can has once again readjusted his "time management plan."
Striving to the utmost to keep the balance among Stone Sister, Mei Mei, and Sister Widow.
Even though adding one more increases the difficulty exponentially, he must still keep everything fair and square.
The past few days he was accompanying Sister Widow and Stone Sister,
today it's finally Mei Mei's turn.
Obviously, Mei Mei is a little unhappy.
When the two went out to eat, she used her fork to twirl the pasta round and round, lingering without taking a bite.
"What's wrong?"
"You don't even have time to be with me anymore. Are you busy keeping Scarlett company?"
Mei Mei looked at Xu Can with a rather sorrowful gaze.
"No, mainly the post-production work on 'Pacific Rim' is too much — some dubbing work needs Miss Johansson's cooperation."
Even though both of them knew perfectly well, Xu Can still had to explain on the surface.
Giving Mei Mei a reason to fool herself.
Besides, what Xu Can said wasn't wrong — dubbing work, after all, can be done anywhere, can't it?
In his own mansion's bedroom, dubbing can still be done.
Just listen and you'll know how full of emotion Scarlett Johansson's dubbing is.
"Fine, as long as you can come I'm content. I'm just afraid one day you'll be busy with them and not come to me."
Mei Mei sighed.
"How could that be?"
Xu Can took Taylor Swift's hand and gazed at her earnestly.
"Darling, you know, I love you. I-really-1ove-ya…"
"Alright, alright, I got it."
Faced with Xu Can's deep affection, the love-brained Mei Mei still couldn't withstand it.
"By the way, I'll give you another gift tonight."
"What gift?"
……
That night, in Xu Can's mansion bedroom, the projector was turned on.
Xu Can and Mei Mei leaned against the headboard, watching the screen.
"This is the gift you mentioned?" Mei Mei was completely baffled.
"Wait a bit longer, don't rush."
Xu Can held her with one hand and used the other to pick up the remote and log into his own platform.
For the internet of 2009, this kind of PC-side operation was still rather cumbersome.
Ten years from now, Xu Can could completely use voice to select programs.
Right, voice selection can be added in — tell the programmers to develop it quickly!
The thought immediately popped into Xu Can's mind; he had already transformed into a heartless capitalist.
Of course, as long as the pay is enough, the working stiffs are all willing to work themselves to the bone for him.
"Found it."
"Detective Charlotte! You actually made it!"
Meimei's eyes lit up!
This was the series Xu Can had promised back when he was on a business trip in Huaxia; she hadn't expected him to still remember it after all this time!
Her words—he had really taken them to heart!
Meimei was instantly overwhelmed with emotion, throwing her arms around Xu Can and planting a flurry of kisses on him…
"What's wrong with you? It hasn't even started playing yet."
Xu Can opened the series, and the familiar opening theme began to play.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Ma Ding Freeman appeared on screen,
and this globally sensational mystery drama officially premiered!
In fact, by the time Xu Can pressed play, the platform's viewership had already surpassed 50 million.
The two of them cuddled together and watched the modern-day Holmes and Watson.
Many of the structural changes and fresh adaptations from the original made Meimei smile knowingly.
As a mystery fan, this Detective Charlotte was truly a masterfully crafted, utterly addictive masterpiece!
"Wow, this is amazing! I'm already hooked on this show! Darling, you're the best!"
"Look at this—what is it?"
Xu Can pointed at the end credits.
Right after the first episode's end credits, a new line of text appeared.
"Dedicated to my beloved Miss, Taylor Swift—Xu Can."
"!!!"
The hopelessly romantic Taylor Swift's pupils dilated in shock,
To anyone else, this might not seem like much,
but in Meimei's eyes, this was absolutely one of the most romantic things she had ever experienced! Second only to that New Year's Eve in Las Vegas!
"Xu Can, I love you!"
Taylor Swift wrapped her arms around Xu Can's neck, her gaze burning.
"I love you too."
