Chapter 59

followed by a wild attack.

Xu Can is not a saint, how can he let her attack without fighting back?

So he decisively took legitimate defense...

The heartbeat aroused by Taylor just now, at this moment, makes Xu Can completely evolve into a vampire in *Twilight*, launching a counter-kill against Kristen.

A battle completely outside the plan, unexpectedly started.

"So, you and Kristen sent me back yesterday?"

"Hmm."

"How is she, is she okay?"

"Hmm... okay, she left after sending you back."

"Okay, I wanted to thank her."

Xu Can doesn't know what expression to make.

Kristen, people also want to thank you.

"Why get drunk? Never seen you get drunk like this before."

"Last night, you went to find Taylor, right?"

"No, how could it be." Xu Can denied it flatly.

He wouldn't confess easily without solid evidence.

"She posted a photo of eating dinner on Facebook, my intuition tells me that the person opposite is you."

"How is it possible, you think too much."

"Okay, I guess I'm too sensitive. After all, we are just friends of interest, right, no formal relationship."

Seeing Stone pouting, looking at him eagerly, Xu Can really feels distressed.

He and Emma Stone have been together for almost a year, as the best screen cp, as Spider-Man and Gwen...

The two are really compatible, both physically and mentally.

Can't say whether he loves her, but he definitely likes her.

Xu Can didn't explain too much, just hugged the fragile woman in front of him silently.

Stone wanted to struggle, but was easily resolved by Xu Can's offensive every time.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain. She finally hugged Xu Can's waist, chin on Xu Can's shoulder, and murmured in his ear with a resentful tone.

"Hey... I have completely become Gwen Stacy now."

Xu Can knows what she wants to say.

In every universe, Gwen will fall in love with Peter Parker.

*John Wick* has reported good news frequently, breaking $230 million in one week!

After the box office statistics of the global market are settled later, breaking $300 million is a nail in the coffin!

According to professional forecasts by the market department, the final global box office of *John Wick* is expected to exceed $400 million!

It looks like the gap with Spider-Man's $1.1 billion is too large, but in fact, this is already a complete victory.

Won hemp!

Horizontal comparison, Tom Cruise's *Mission: Impossible III* box office $398 million;

*Live Free or Die Hard* $380 million;

*Superman Returns* $391 million;

*The Bourne Ultimatum* $440 million;

*300* $450 million...

Which of these films is not a combination of big directors and big actors?

The average production cost is above $120 million!

Even so, these films are considered box office successes, squeezing into the top 10 box office list of the year, and they all have to open champagne after release.

Xu Can created a $400 million box office myth with a $16 million cost!

No need to wait for the film to be off the screen, now a bunch of Hollywood insiders have jumped out to seek cooperation.

Everyone shows a shocked expression in the interview.

"To be honest, creating a $400 million box office with a $16 million cost, I would definitely treat it as a joke before hearing this news. Now... suddenly feel old, Hollywood seems to be the world of young people."

Famous big director Martin Scorsese, who directed high-reputation works such as *The Departed*, *Goodfellas*, *Gangs of New York*, *The Wolf of Wall Street*, evaluated Xu Can like this.

"But *John Wick* awakened my blood, and I also want to film an action movie cool enough."

According to the analysis of *Los Santos Times*, Xu Can will earn at least $130 million in share from this film!

The facts are similar; the first share remittance from the cinema line will arrive next month.

The amount is $60 million!

Among them, $10 million will be invested in the company, enough to maintain for a long time. Including the cost of Galaxy Music producing albums for Taylor.

Another $10 million is reserved for Xu Can's own use, and $40 million will be invested in the production of *Iron Man*.

Wait for the subsequent box office dividends to arrive, and then add $30 million investment.

This way Xu Can can occupy half of the investment in *Iron Man*!

Wait for *Iron Man* to be released, and break $1 billion in box office like the historical trend,

Xu Can will get about $200 million in share income!

Investing $70 million, becoming $200 million in one year, 285% annualized return is comparable to robbery!

Just as Xu Can is calculating beautifully, preparing to officially start the *Iron Man* project, Kevin Feige suddenly calls.

"Xu, there is trouble."

"Unless replaced, otherwise the board of directors refuses to approve the investment."

"No, didn't we agree before?"

"No, I just agreed to film Iron Man, and didn't agree to this casting."

Marvel Entertainment Chairman's Office, Kevin Feige and Xu Can sit on the sofa.

Opposite, Marvel's current chairman, the company's largest shareholder Ike Perlmutter, crosses his legs, looking stubborn.

"You can spend more money, isn't it fragrant to invite Tom Cruise? I have communicated with him, and he has agreed to participate. Why be greedy for cheap and invite a drug addict?"

"Huh? You contact others without communicating with me? I am the project leader."

Kevin Feige is a bit angry; as Marvel Studios Executive President, he is fully responsible for implementing the film plan.

Theoretically, it is a flat relationship with Perlmutter!

Perlmutter actually bypassed him and communicated with other casting choices privately, obviously not putting him and Xu Can in his eyes.

"I am the Marvel Chairman! The whole company is mine!"

This old man's temper comes up, ten cows can't pull it back.

Kevin Feige is also angry, just about to theorize, but is pressed by Xu Can.

Xu Can tries to stay calm:

"I have written a detailed casting suggestion before. If you want to film Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. is the only candidate."

"Tom Cruise is a top Hollywood star, but he is not Iron Man."

Perlmutter is not moved at all, pouts and waves his hand:

"No, I refuse to provide work for drug users."

"He has quit, just came out of the sanatorium." Xu Can still wants to defend Downey.

"No, having him will definitely affect the film and the stock price. Look at the current price, just releasing the casting wind, the stock price fell by 10 points! Do you know how much 10 percent is?"

Perlmutter is so angry that he hammers the table.

Calculated according to Marvel's current stock price of 9 yuan,

the news of "Robert Downey Jr. joins Marvel to participate in Iron Man" caused Marvel Entertainment's market value to evaporate by $70 million!

Xu Can doesn't know what to say at this time.

Only he can see the future, how Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man revitalized Marvel.

The current Perlmutter can only see the one-acre-three-centimeter land in front of him.
