Chapter 57
He doesn't want to play a pale vampire; let Robert Pattinson enjoy this kind of good job.
Soon, the main actors of the crew greet him one by one.
Accidentally, Xu Can actually became the protagonist of the party.
Everyone present has witnessed how hot *John Wick*, which he invested in and co-directed, has been recently.
Xu Can is becoming a hot producer in Hollywood, a box office money-making machine, and everyone is looking forward to working with him.
English cream-boy Robert Pattinson sees Xu Can and is quite diligent.
He keeps chatting with Xu Can in an English accent.
"Xu, I just finished watching your movie yesterday! Wow, it's so cool! Seriously, I'd be fine even if I could make a cameo as a bit part in it."
"We can cooperate when filming the sequel next year."
At this time, another actress also comes over to greet Xu Can, which is quite surprising.
It is actually Kristen Stewart, the heroine of the original *Twilight*!
It turns out that after she failed the audition for the heroine, she finally entered the crew and played Jessica, the heroine's classmate.
This role was originally played by another great beauty, Anna Kendrick, but was squeezed out by Kristen Stewart.
Kristen's most out-of-the-circle time was probably when hackers leaked her nude photos.
Xu Can had seen her; her chest was relatively flat and there was nothing to see.
Because she fell in love with Robert Pattinson in *Twilight*, she was bent after breaking up, started to like women, and was called "human wrench" by the lesbian circle.
"Hey, Xu, nice to meet you."
Meeting for the first time, Xu Can is thinking about Taylor and doesn't chat with her for too long, just exchanged contact information.
Xu Can doesn't realize yet what kind of chaos meeting Kristen will bring him.
Chatting around with a wine glass, everyone who should be known is known.
"Emma, the record department is looking for me temporarily, I have to go there, you have fun here, let Vanessa pick you up tonight."
"Huh? Okay, then pay attention to safety on the road."
Stone pouts and watches Xu Can leave reluctantly.
Kristen on the other side sees this scene inadvertently and is surprised to close her mouth.
Stone on the set has always been very straightforward, when has she had such a little woman moment?
What kind of magic does that Chinese person have?
Xu Can drives his Ferrari Spider on the streets of Los Santos, and the street scenes frequently make him think of GTA5,
the second hometown he had never met, now really in front of his eyes.
Taylor, who was once out of reach, is now sitting in his passenger seat wearing a beautiful little skirt,
the faint Armani perfume mixed with Taylor's body scent, appearing and disappearing at the tip of his nose,
Xu Can just needs to reach out to touch her fair legs,
the former self could never imagine this scene in his dreams!
The first formal date, but the atmosphere in the car is unexpectedly a bit quiet.
Taylor looks out the window, wondering what she is thinking; is she angry that she is late?
It was only half an hour late, shouldn't be.
To ease the embarrassment, Xu Can reaches out to turn on the radio, but touches Taylor's cold little hand.
"Is this tacit understanding?"
Taylor breaks the silence first, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Chinese has an idiom to describe this situation."
"What is it? I want to learn!" Taylor is immediately interested.
"Heart-to-heart connection (Xin You Ling Xi)."
"Slow down... Xi-xi what?"
After teaching it several times, Taylor finally learned the pronunciation of "Xin You Ling Xi."
"What does it mean?"
"Uh..." Xu Can is asked, thinking for a long time: "It's a legendary record, there is a mythical beast rhinoceros, with two spiritual horns, connected by white texture in the middle."
"This spiritual rhinoceros connects the two ends, and later gradually has the meaning of two people's hearts connecting."
"Many ancient Chinese poems cite this legend..."
Xu Can's explanation makes Taylor in the passenger seat hold her chin with both hands, eyes shining, looking at Xu Can with admiration.
"Wow, Chinese culture is really profound... I want to learn too."
"Then you start learning from one word, I'll teach you."
"Okay, okay!" Taylor is happy.
"Lao."
"Le... Lao? Lao... Lao!"
"Hmm, not bad. Next word, Gong."
"Gone? Gong... Gong? Gong! I learned it!"
Taylor learns quite fast, seriously like an elementary school student.
"What about connecting them?"
"Let me think, don't remind me first... Lao, Gong? Lao Gong! Right?"
"Pfft..." Xu Can quickly calls on John Wick's acting skills, and then he holds back from laughing.
"Hmm, not bad, you have to practice more, and your Chinese will get better and better."
"Lao Gong, Lao Gong, Lao Gong..." Taylor practices constantly on the side, bright eyes looking at Xu Can, not feeling anything abnormal at all.
"Xu, what does this word mean?"
"I'll tell you later." Xu Can's mouth is harder to press than an AK.
Who wouldn't be confused?
Due to the small episode in the car, the atmosphere of their first formal date is very good, and they return to the state of good friends talking about everything.
Taylor complains to Xu Can about how painful it is to produce an album, and chatters about some small gossip in the music scene,
Xu Can occasionally tells interesting things on the set, or uses some internet jokes from later generations to make Taylor laugh forward and backward.
The $1000-per-person big meal in front of them is no longer important; compared to food, the two are completely immersed in communication with each other.
Chatting until it's very late, the restaurant is about to close, Xu Can drives Taylor back.
Every time he looks at Taylor in the passenger seat, she looks back with bright eyes, and her gaze collides with Xu Can's.
Cooperating with her beautiful appearance, Xu Can finds back the heartbeat of his student days long lost.
So much so that the return journey seems quite short, and soon they arrive at the parking lot downstairs of Taylor's apartment.
Xu Can parks relatively hidden, and shouldn't be noticed by paparazzi.
Taylor doesn't rush to get out of the car; she doesn't seem to want to go back so soon.
The two return to the quiet state before, but this time neither is embarrassed, but rather enjoys the ambiguity surging in the small space.
The car radio DJ is working hard to introduce:
"Next, I recommend a treasure female singer. Her debut country folk album made a stunning appearance, and her second album is about to meet everyone!"
"Wow, I can't wait to let everyone hear her wonderful singing voice. Let's welcome, Taylor Swift!"
"A song *Fearless*, dedicated to you in front of the radio, dedicated to those lovers who are happy with each other..."
Huh?
Taylor's song again?
Seriously, the probability of hearing Taylor's songs on the radio recently is quite high. The company is making efforts to promote it, creating momentum for the album release next month.
Taylor is also slightly stunned, then smiles:
"Listen to this song."
"Hmm."
On the radio, it's still Taylor's clear tone, as sweet as the person next to her.
"There's something 'bout the way the street looks when it's just rained"
"There's a glow off the pavement, you walk me to the car, and you know I wanna ask you to dance right there in the middle of the parking lot"
