Chapter 497: Keeping a Low Profile While Winning Awards—X-Men: First Class Is Not the End!

The publicity was very effective, and the internet's understanding of this movie has deepened.

"Our roadshow has broken through the previous conventional format this time. Many movies have learned our methods and started promoting heavily, but it's obvious they're not as sincere as us. They'll never know where the essence of what we do lies!"

Xu Can shook his head.

Not everyone is like that.

"Houkending Society will definitely learn the true inner meaning of our roadshow. As long as something appears in this world, there's the possibility of it being imitated. Don't sell yourselves short, and don't think they will never have any hope!"

Xu Can continued thinking about his next move.

He could not allow himself to be idle. Once he became idle, someone would definitely take his place.

In this entertainment circle, if you really want to rest, you might have to say goodbye to the entertainment circle.

Hollywood is not something just anyone can break into, nor is it something anyone can come and go from easily!

Scripts from his previous life that he had been thinking about recently were surfacing in his mind.

He figured it was time to put other superhero movies on the schedule.

But doing nothing but superhero themes could cause many people to become numb. He had to release them at intervals, so that everyone would have a great deal of anticipation in their hearts!

Just as Xu Can was thinking, the phone suddenly rang.

"Just now, the Saturn Awards staff called and said we've won some awards. They hope we can rush to the scene. Do we need to arrange for actors to go over for the presentation?"

Xu Can was stunned for a moment.

He had almost forgotten about this award. Every movie would definitely win many awards—this was an inevitable process. Going to the scene to receive the award would also greatly boost the movie's and his own fame!

He was definitely going.

Moreover, he still needed to use this award ceremony for publicity, as well as his upcoming plans and music schedule!

"Of course we're going. Not only does our entire crew need to go, but I, the director, also need to go!"

"We've received many nominations, but not everyone will necessarily win an award. Delaying the schedule arrangements of other actors like this—is it really okay?"

The staff member was also worried that this would be somewhat inappropriate, and that it wasn't a particularly important award!

"Don't worry so much. Just let them come. This award will definitely satisfy them!"

Award day!

Under the spotlights, the on-site staff were exceptionally busy.

The staff pushing the lighting equipment gathered together.

"I'm exhausted. I don't know why the organizers want such a big production this time. These lights used to be gathering dust in the warehouse. They even hired a lighting designer to redesign according to the stage, and even memorized the blueprints. When have we ever taken this so seriously!"

"Isn't it all because Xu Can is coming to our award ceremony this time? As long as he shows up, it'll greatly boost our fame. Have you ever seen any big director come to our small award ceremony!"

"That's different though. Even if he really comes, so what? We don't have that kind of ability, so why borrow money to decorate the whole venue as luxuriously as those big award ceremonies? Isn't this just putting on a brave front?"

The director walked over with the cue sheet.

They hurriedly shoved each other.

"Quick, quick, the director's coming over. Don't let him hear what I'm saying here!"

"You guys go over there and set up the whole venue. Especially the seat where Xu Can will sit—make sure his seat stands out and can be seen at a glance!"

The director was exceptionally heavy in his emphasis.

They had thought only a few unknown actors would come to the scene to accept the award on their behalf. They hadn't expected Xu Can to actually agree to come in person. This was very helpful for their event, and everyone could also gain some attention through online publicity.

Xu Can got out of the car with the entire cast.

Flashbulbs kept flashing. Surrounded by reporters, even with security blocking the way, they could only take two steps forward to get close to their vehicle.

The red carpet was also lined with reporters and fans.

The moment Xu Can stepped out of the car, everyone's spotlights focused on Xu Can. He was the focus of this event.

The actors behind him felt no jealousy at all—all the honor was brought by Xu Can.

"Why would you come to such a small award ceremony? Do you feel your movie's ratings aren't quite enough? Like other movies, that's why you brought the Lucy cast here to receive the award, just to give it some fame?"

One reporter, completely lacking in tact, rushed over. He was clearly trying to get more attention, otherwise he wouldn't have said something so outrageous.

Xu Can turned to look at him with what appeared to be a smile, but in reality, the killing intent behind that smile was very obvious.

But the captured footage made Xu Can appear exceptionally approachable.

"I believe that whether it's a big award or a small one, it's an encouragement for our movie. Since everyone has sincerely voted for our crew, we should come to the scene to respond. We can't be the kind of people who look down on the poor and curry favor with the rich!"

One sentence and his persona was firmly established.

What a genius.

Sister Widow was also snickering on the side. Watching the reporter's deflated look, she figured he hadn't expected Xu Can to be so capable of keeping his composure!

She quietly leaned over and whispered, "You're really impressive. He was just trying to catch you losing your temper—even a look of barely contained anger would be enough to make a big fuss. But you responded to that reporter flawlessly. He must be grinding his teeth in hatred now. He missed this Cideji Society, and who knows when the next time he'll be able to get this close to you!"

Xu Can snorted.

"What skills does a small reporter like him have? Isn't it just that there are a few big bosses from entertainment companies behind him, telling him to come grab my handle!"

These people have no real ability themselves, so they send some small fry to cause trouble for him!

They can't make it onto the big stage either.

"They're just some small minions. They think they can shake my foundation. Having climbed to where I am now, what tricks haven't I seen? How could I be so easily taken down by them!"

Xu Can snorted coldly.

"After the award ceremony ends, they might come after you guys. Knowing they can't get any controversial quotes from me, they'll definitely use you as their target. You must be careful—if you can't respond, then absolutely don't respond. Keep a smile on your face the whole time. Not even an eye roll is allowed!"

Sister Widow nodded gently, still smiling on her face, but in her heart she was already deeply worried.

Xu Can had probably made quite a few enemies. In the Hollywood circle, not everyone is just focused on their own career!
