Chapter 524: Sci-fi masterpiece The Three-Body Problem sparks controversy upon introduction?

For several days in a row, the top of the trending searches was filled with gossip about the two of them.

Although the movie was affected to some extent, its own quality also attracted even more attention.

"This era is very open-minded now; even if it's true, it's okay to admit it!"

"Real or fake—who knows. If they themselves don't want to admit it, no one can force them!"

"In this day and age, if anyone is still so old-fashioned, I'm going to start cursing people out!"

Xu Can didn't think this was a bad comment. For anyone, their choices are their own, and no one has the right to deny them.

"I'm really sorry. If I hadn't been so obvious about it, I wouldn't have caused such a huge negative impact on our movie!"

It was the first time Kristin had been this dejected.

"I wanted to hold back this desire in my heart, but I never expected that the moment I saw Emma Stone, my reason couldn't overcome my desire!"

"You don't need to apologize to me. This news isn't unfriendly either; everyone just hopes you can make a decision!"

Xu Can leaned sideways against the chair, propping his hand on the table, his fingers tapping lightly.

He looked very languid.

"Any good work should never be judged by the personal lives of its emotions and actors!"

"If you really touched on a matter of principle, then the work would be affected—but did you?"

A counter-question made Kristin panic.

"Of course not! I just like Emma Stone a little. Surely I'm allowed to have even this kind of appreciation!"

Kristin leaned back on the sofa, yet felt weak all over.

The more it was a time like this, the more he should have been strong, yet he could never manage to lift his spirits either.

"You're not wrong. Sometimes you just don't see eye to eye with others; there's no need to deny yourself like this!"

"You just need to do what your heart wants. If it hasn't affected anyone or caused anyone trouble, you don't need to apologize!"

Kristin raised her head and looked at Xu Can seriously. "But I've caused you trouble!"

"You haven't caused anyone any trouble, and not our movie either!"

After some persuasion, Kristin finally figured it out. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her gaze gradually became firm.

Sure enough, just a few days later, she saw (cabb) Kristin with her hair cut short.

The moment Emma Stone saw it, her eyes lit up too.

"You're really so brave."

Kristin's eyes stared at him without wavering.

"For the things I want to do, I've always been this brave!"

Such an action also implicitly confirmed all the rumors out there.

The two arranged to meet at a café.

Afterwards, they went to a private theater.

Emma Stone hadn't expected to get along so well chatting with Kristin.

Sure enough, sometimes women understand women best.

"I didn't expect us to get along this well. I never really worked with you before. Through Xu Can, I got to know you, and only then did I realize how alike the two of us are!"

"Actually, I think the two of us don't need to believe it—I can protect you!"

The sofa in the private theater was exceptionally soft. Emma Stone only leaned back a little and sank right into it, and Kristin beside her was pulled along by that force too.

Emma Stone was pressed down.

They had just finished a bottle of red wine, and now both of them were slightly tipsy.

Kristin looked at the woman under the dim light; the blush on her face was even more captivating.

"You're really so beautiful!"

"Has no one ever told you that you're a woman who is both gentle and beautiful and understanding?"

Emma Stone's eyes widened slightly.

Taking advantage of the wine, her gaze also grew desirous.

"He's really never said anything like that to me, not even my old boyfriends!"

The word "boyfriend" almost jolted Kristin back to sobriety.

But with a beauty in her arms, she couldn't quite hold herself back.

She lowered her head and kissed her.

Even now, he still didn't know if this was a dream—it was so intoxicatingly unreal.

Her low voice stimulated Kristin even more.

At this moment, Kristin finally found her true soul, madly wanting to announce to the public that she liked Emma Stone!

Xu Can couldn't get through on the phone, so he knew the two of them must have snuck off on a date. 【】

Returning to the villa, he saw Mei Mei in the study.

Watching her bury herself in writing lyrics, she looked very diligent.

Now was a good time to release an album; all the buzz was revolving around their company, so they really should put out a good piece of work.

Xu Can gently pushed the door open and went in.

"How late are you going to be busy today?"

Mei Mei was pleasantly surprised to hear Xu Can's voice and hurriedly went over and draped herself over him.

"Why are you only back now? I feel like my inspiration has run dry—I can't come up with any lyrics at all!"

"You Huaxia people have so many really beautiful lyrics—can I study them?"

Xu Can wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up.

"Of course you can, but the essence within may not necessarily be something you can learn!"

Different languages carry different meanings. The characters of Huaxia and what they contain are rich; they can use simple words to compose an exceedingly beautiful picture, but other languages find it very hard to achieve that.

"That is a bit difficult. I'd better think it over carefully!"

Taking advantage of her busyness, Xu Can also went to another study.

The arrangement of this study was completely different, suited for writing scripts.

Even when transcribing the scripts from his previous life, without needing too much plotting, Xu Can would usually revise them based on certain memories from his previous life.

Revising away the parts that everyone generally criticized.

Xu Can had not gone to the company in recent days, staying in the study the whole time.

This novel belonged to the long-form science fiction genre.

Writing them all down was still a bit difficult, after all he had three of them.

Xu Can focused his energy on the first one.

Meimei quietly drew closer.

Seeing the words above, she was still a bit puzzled — it turned out to be science fiction that surpassed superheroes.

"Are you not planning to write about superheroes anymore?"

Xu Can nodded and put down the mouse in his hand.

"As long as this long-form science fiction novel is adapted into a TV series or a movie, it will definitely cause a sensation worldwide!"

Meimei also raised an opinion: "But right now everyone cares most about heroes who save the Earth. They like seeing new energy appear after falling into despair. People don't care about standalone science fiction right now, do they?"

"That's true, but if you don't try, you'll never know whether they'll like it!"
