Chapter 433

Now there's a problem with a character appearing — it's time for him to step in.

"Since they haven't found the right person for this character, and their control over the special effects can't be on point either, we can't keep dragging this out. The fact that a stunt double has already been brought in only proves that nobody here is the best fit for this character!"

"Pointing fingers at them endlessly won't do any good — it'll only keep wasting our time. Now I have to step in myself. And there's no high or low profession; no matter how big or small the role, everyone is equal. You can't decide who's more noble based on billing. If you want to judge things that way, then you don't need to stay on my team anymore!"

Those playing minor roles were deeply moved.

To still find a director like this in Hollywood — that was already their good fortune!

Xu Can stepped in front of the camera without the slightest hesitation.

The assistant hurriedly brought over the script belonging to this character.

"Here's the character's script. Would you like the martial-arts director to walk you through the moves on it once more?"

They were deeply worried — their director didn't have any safety equipment at all!

Xu Can waved a hand, and didn't even glance at the script.

The characters waiting below to film were whispering among themselves at the side.

"How do you perform without reading the script? Is he going to improvise? Wouldn't that wreck the continuity of our entire script?"

"I heard he's mastered every character — does he even memorize the martial-arts director's moves?"

"How reckless — there's no safety measures, won't he get hurt!"

"I'd bet there'll be a big piece of news today — either he gets injured, or he's just that incredible!"

Xu Can closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath.

"Action!"

The instant Hua's voice fell, his entire state changed. His gaze turned swift and lethal. With one foot lightly tapping the ground, he launched into the air; then his body spun a full ninety degrees, his feet began to run along walls, tapping ceaselessly against the wall at the side!

Then, like a dive, he tucked his head and spun as he dropped from the air!

Even with safety equipment, such moves couldn't be strung together this smoothly — yet Xu Can completed the entire sequence on his own, with no help at all!

The set fell utterly silent; even the assistant director forgot to hit pause.

Only after Xu Can pulled himself out of the character's soul did he turn back toward the camera.

Clap clap clap clap!

Applause thundered like rolling thunder.

Everyone's admiration was beyond words.

Not a single person dared to question Xu Can!

"My God — what kind of immortal being did I just witness!"

"He must be a genius — otherwise how could he remember even a minor character's moves!"

"I'd heard about Xu Can's talent before, but working with him in person, I realized it's almost absurdly over the top!"

"Being able to work with him — this film should wrap up real fast!"

Xu Can was perfectly calm.

He turned back and carefully checked the footage, confirming there were no issues.

The set resumed its usual order and kept filming. Xu Can was also a few moves late, after all — his own shots had long been finished. Now Xu Can was fully focused on directing every single move on set!

But the internet had exploded.

Although rumors of Xu Can's Spider-Man-like physique had circulated before,

no one had actually seen firsthand this god-tier director's perfect grip on the set, nor the precision of every move.

Now, this very sequence showcased Xu Can's matchless perfection.

Nine out of the top ten trending searches were all about Xu Can.

【Spider-Man himself — Xu Can can actually take flight!】

【Mutant? What kind of being is Xu Can, really!】

【A true director — one who remembers every character!】

…………

Every trending search was praise for Xu Can.

This seemed to be even more than the trending searches when he won the Oscar.

Xu Can being able to win that award was thanks to his real ability.

In an instant, reservations for their film skyrocketed again.

It instantly broke into the hundreds of millions in reservations — and this was worldwide. Every single country was paying extremely close attention to their film; after all, this was Xu Can once again leading his own team into a movie about space exploration!

But opinions online were mixed.

"A sci-fi space film, if done badly, becomes a genuine disaster flick — who knows if Xu Can can create another miracle!"

"The character-design issues are huge, but I just feel Xu Can may not really be able to turn the tide for sci-fi films now and break through the siege!"

"But from what we see so far, his film's subject matter is still pretty good — it can help us deeply understand this space-disaster issue. Especially since I heard the characters are a bit closer to our real lives, letting us feel up close the heroes in our everyday world!"

Xu Can was in his office day and night, staring intently!

All to make sure every single link was under his watchful eye, with not a single slip allowed!

Day after day passed, the final stage wrapped up, and the entire film's production came to a close. They had to send the whole film in for review!

This was also the stage everyone else was deeply worried about.

I hear the review process is now extremely strict — to meet the final requirements, you have to bribe them. I don't even know what the going rate is…

Xu Can listened to them gossiping behind his back.

He knit his brow tightly.

What a joke — his, Xu Can's, film, and someone dares to block it?

Sure enough, the film they had just sent over got a reply almost immediately — probably the fastest approval ever. The entire review was wrapped up in just over half an hour!

Xu Can was not surprised in the least.

First, he was a man who respected the rules, so he would never deliberately craft a plot that went beyond convention, nor make things difficult for them.

Second, the bureau's revenue was basically all earned through it.

Moreover, Xu Can's films were all quality subject matter — there was nothing worth refusing!

Once everything was ready, Xu Can had to keep an eye on everyone as they gathered all the promotional clips together and condensed them into a streamlined version!

"You few, come here for a moment."
