Chapter 490
This snowfall almost seemed to help Xu Can in disguise.
"Oh my God, I'm really looking forward to it, my Lord, there's another great movie coming right up that I can watch!"
"Sister Widow can finally be the lead herself, he's definitely going to be a one-of-a-kind lead!"
"My God, her figure is absolutely killer, I wonder if this movie will also give us her gorgeous figure!"
"Xu Can should be unrivaled in the sci-fi movie industry, he's the role model for us Chinese people!"
"The two of them are collaborating again. I heard before that they were very close, but now Xu Can has a fiancée, so I wonder if he'll rekindle the old flame with Sister Widow!"
'Lucy' topped the trending searches for several days!
With the blizzard cleared away, the roads came back to life.
All kinds of cars bustled about, weaving through the streets.
The little roadside stalls puffing with steam were set out as well.
The trending searches once again filled up with all manner of life.
Xu Can and Mei Mei also stepped out the door.
They embraced and laughed.
"These few days at home have been so happy, I've suddenly gotten hooked on this lazy lifestyle, snuggling in the blankets with you every day!"
Xu Can reached out and tapped Mei Mei's little nose, "Little lazy egg, it's time to go to the company to record your new album now, you absolutely can't be thinking about me all the time, I have to go work too!"
Heading in different directions, Can arrived at the film set.
After spending a few intimate days at home with Mei Mei, the on-site preparations had already been wrapped up.
Scarlett had gotten into costume early!
The on-set filming went especially smoothly. Xu Can and Sister Widow had worked together before, so this time they could understand each other's intentions!
One gesture and the other understood, quickly adjusting their position.
The staff nearby all said they felt very comfortable.
When filming wrapped, Sister Widow was extremely reluctant to part.
The two of them had an extremely tight schedule this time, they didn't even have time to be intimate.
Scarlett also had great expectations for this movie. This was her own starring vehicle, and it was also about a female superhero.
The movie was about to hit theaters. The previous blizzard had given them plenty of buzz, and the reservation numbers were huge!
"Our overall investment is roughly forty million US dollars. This time, don't compare the box office to other movies, just compare it to our production cost!"
Xu Can looked at the rest of the team in the office.
After all, Scarlett wasn't yet a full-blown superstar.
Asking her to suddenly surpass her previous box office numbers right now would be a bit too difficult.
As long as they could get an extremely high return on investment, that would count as a high return!
The man with the little mustache nodded slightly, "We know, but tonight we'll see the results. Especially since we've opened up the online review channel, their assessment of us will be clear by tonight!"
The woman with short blonde hair chimed in, "And boss, you've also opened up ratings. Isn't that a bit too cruel? Who sets up their own rating system?"
If it doesn't succeed, wouldn't that be utterly embarrassing!
Xu Can waved his hand, "I have confidence in this movie. It will be the most plot-twisting, the most fun, and the most intelligent movie of this spring!"
The release time drew near.
Everyone was waiting in the office, ready to start screening at the same time as the theaters.
Scarlett was too nervous, hiding away in her own home waiting for the time to come.
The opening of the movie immediately grabbed everyone's attention.
The entire plot didn't drag at all, with both funny parts and adventure parts.
It let everyone see a ridiculous yet dazzling, powerful hero!
The theater was filled with laughter and cheers!
That very evening's box office had already earned back their costs!
One after another, the phones in the entire office kept ringing nonstop.
Every single face was beaming with smiles.
Many countries were requesting to release the film in their own countries. After tallying up the global box office, Xu Can was going to announce it in front of everyone in the office!
Begging for flowers【】
"Everyone pay attention, our production cost was roughly forty million US dollars, but our global box office is eight hundred million US dollars!"
He bit down on the last few words.
The atmosphere in the room paused for a moment, then erupted into thunderous applause and cheers!
"Next, there's one more thing to announce!"
"I've acquired a new special effects company, an industrial company. From now on, it will be a branch of our company. They specialize in producing special effects, and they also helped produce the movie Lucy this time!"
"You've all seen their capabilities, and in the future they'll help us jointly produce other special effects movies!"
In his past life, this company had won too many awards, taking home the Oscar for Best Visual Effects over fifteen times!
... 0...
Successfully taking it over, the future awards could also be credited to his own company.
They couldn't start the celebration banquet yet, there were still roadshows ahead.
Of course, the higher the box office the better, no one would ever think their own box office was too low.
Sister Widow could finally relax.
She grabbed the clothes beside her and rushed over to Xu Can's office in a flurry.
The sound of the door made everyone turn their heads.
Guajie was seen walking toward Xu Can, a navy-blue overcoat fluttering as she strode with fierce purpose!
In this white room, the coat stood out especially.
?
Everyone present awkwardly turned their heads away.
Guajie directly wrapped Xu Can in a tight embrace.
This time she had achieved the success of the film she herself led.
"No one will ever say I'm just a supporting character again!"
Her heart could no longer hold any other man.
Not everyone can complete a script and produce a film in the shortest possible time!
Xu Can gently patted Guajie on the back.
Silent comfort is the most lethal.
He also understood best the efforts Guajie had put in over all these years.
Guajie pressed close to Xu Can, snot and tears streaming, "We really succeeded, we really succeeded!"
The others, reading the room, quietly left the office.
A gentle touch pressed against her lips.
Xu Can's lips curved slightly as he pulled the woman's legs toward him, and she leaned back against the table behind her.
"You were the one who leaned over first, so don't beg for mercy later, Qian!"
