Chapter 354: Xu Can Is the God of Cinema!

New York, AMC Empire Theatre.

One of the largest cinemas in North America, with a thirty-meter-tall IMAX screen — the second largest in the entire country.

The theatre entrance, usually a steady stream of people, was now a mountain of a crowd, gongs and drums thundering, firecrackers popping in unison.

Under the official attention of New York City, NYPD forces were concentrated here to maintain order.

Tens of thousands of fans packed densely around the area, all for a single glimpse of Xu Can on the red carpet.

In the past, following Xu Can's usual practice, he always held premieres in Los Santos,

Hollywood being his home base.

But ever since filming "Spider-Man," Xu Can, as the world's universally acknowledged most handsome Spider-Man, has become Peter Parker himself.

Because Peter Parker, who grew up in Queens, is the popular New York City hero of the comics — your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

So many real-life New Yorkers also see Xu Can as one of their own,

When "Spider-Man 2" was released, New York and Los Santos netizens even kicked off a great debate over who Xu Can belonged to,

Both sides insisting that Xu Can should be their honorary citizen,

The argument grew so heated that New York City and Los Santos officially announced at the same time that Xu Can was an honorary citizen! The spokesperson for their own city.

This "Battle for Xu Can" still has no conclusion to this day.

Even Las Vegas, Chicago, and other cities wanted to join in, declaring Xu Can as their own spokesperson,

The reason being simply that Xu Can had once visited those cities.

From this one can see that this youngest Best Actor winner's popularity in North America is soaring — truly the top of the top tier!

Now that his mecha blockbuster was having its global premiere, it naturally triggered a carnival across New York City.

Even the streets surrounding the AMC Empire Theatre were placed under lockdown,

This place is right at the heart of New York — Times Square!

The scale Xu Can put on this time was simply unheard of!

Amidst the anticipation of all, Xu Can's extended-length luxury car stopped before the red carpet.

Xu Can, in a sharp suit, looked tall and elegant; beside him, Scarlett Johansson, in a silver cut-out evening gown, held Xu Can's arm, the two like a pair of immortal lovers.

One had to admit, no matter whether Xu Can was with Tay Tay, Stone Sister, or Scarlett Johansson, they always had strong couple chemistry.

In the past it was others who enjoyed the spotlight; this time it was the Widow's turn.

Walking on the red carpet, the Widow still felt a bit dazed.

She remembered the first time she met Xu Can was on the Golden Globes red carpet — she was walking ahead and heard the commotion behind her.

Turning back, she saw Xu Can and Emma Stone as the perfect golden boy and jade girl, and Scarlett Johansson's eyes were full of envy.

She never imagined that one day she too would have the chance to hold Xu Can's arm and accompany him alone on the red carpet.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Can keenly noticed Scarlett Johansson's oddity.
