Chapter 65: Stone Sister Sneak Attacks! Is Spider-Man My Cousin?
New York City, Columbia Pictures soundstage.
The filming of "John Wick" is already halfway done, and the entire crew has been won over by Xu Can's acting and professional attitude.
No matter what shot it is, he can immerse himself in the role in an unprecedented way, simply impeccable!
Even when a co-star made a mistake causing the shot to be NG, Xu Can had no complaints; instead, he patiently helped the other person analyze the acting details.
The veteran actor playing Winston is named Ian McShane; he later praised Xu Can on an interview program:
"I've acted for decades, and this is the first time I've learned acting techniques from a twenty-year-old. This shoot has been truly rewarding."
Driven by Xu Can, the entire crew operated with astonishing efficiency.
Happy Hogan, who also serves as producer, was stunned:
"Xu, we have a budget of twenty million this time. You can be more meticulous, shoot each shot a few more times, and don't be afraid to spend money."
"Rest assured, I'm watching. Every shot is excellent."
Director David Lei Qi is a newcomer who previously had no director's work of his own.
Therefore, while acting, Xu Can also performed some directing duties.
By the end, he was essentially the film's co-director; every tiny detail was refined against the original version, or shot even better.
He never expected that his first investment in filmmaking would also add some directing experience.
That day, they were filming the latter half of the movie, the battle scene in the hotel.
Willem Dafoe, playing the Green Goblin, guest-starred as a master-level sniper at Xu Can's invitation.
After their off-screen performance, the shot was temporarily concluded.
"Willem, thank you for your hard work."
"Hahaha, Xu, I should thank you for inviting me to act. After finishing 'Spider-Man,' my agent almost signed me up for a pile of scripts; now I have an excuse to rest again."
Previously, when playing the Green Goblin, he had to wear heavy equipment and actually film some intense fight scenes with Xu Can.
Xu Can, being young, could withstand it, but an old man like him really couldn't take it.
After finishing 'Spider-Man,' Willem Dafoe originally wanted to rest for a year, but the movie became a global hit, and many crews wanted to recruit him for new films.
Just as 'John Wick' invited him, Willem Dafoe accepted Xu Can's invitation without hesitation.
It is still easier to film with Xu Can.
As the two were chatting, Xu Can suddenly sensed someone sneaking up behind him!
Immediately, that person's hands went straight for his neck!
A sneak attack?
Under the influence of something like a 'Spider-Sense,' Xu Can grabbed that person's arm, intending to execute a shoulder throw!
This was purely a professional killer's instinctive move; perhaps he was too immersed in playing John Wick and hadn't snapped out of it yet.
"Aaaaaah—"
The attacker instantly panicked and screamed in fright.
Fortunately, Xu Can reacted quickly enough; halfway through the shoulder throw, he naturally lifted her onto his back and held her steady.
"When did you get here? You didn't even tell me, and you dare to sneak attack?"
"Who knew you'd go straight for a shoulder throw... My arm almost got dislocated by you."
A coquettish voice sounded behind his ear; the familiar sensation on his back meant there was no need to ask who it was.
Naturally, it was Stone Sister, Emma Stone, who had sneaked over.
While the two were spoiling each other with affection, Willem Dafoe poured a glass of soda water, tactically drinking and retreating, leaving the space for the two of them.
Xu Can put Stone Sister down, and just as he turned around, a hot, passionate kiss came right up to him.
It had been over a month since they last met; he missed her greatly.
Emma Stone's 'Twilight' was still filming; she took advantage of her vacation period to come to Xu Can's crew for a bit part.
Perkins, a female assassin in 'John Wick,' is played by Emma Stone.
The two will fall in love and kill each other in the film.
"When I wasn't here, did you go around flirting with girls?"
Stone Sister looked at Xu Can with a half-smile.
"No, I was busy filming; who could I flirt with?"
"Like Avril, Emma Roberts, Taylor Swift?"
"Uh..."
Why did she know so clearly? No, I thought I hadn't flirted with them either.
Xu Can then remembered that the three actresses had all posted photos of themselves with Xu Can on Face.
The group photos were quite intimate; especially Emma Roberts and 'Tay-Tay,' their expressions and actions were just like a young couple being affectionate.
"Sigh, it was just a party... As for you, acting opposite that handsome guy, did you do anything improper?"
Xu Can turned the tables.
"No, I kept enough distance," Stone Sister said, puffing out her chest, with a clear conscience.
Robert Pattinson, the male lead of 'Twilight,' is indeed very handsome, but that depends on who you compare him to.
Since Emma Stone had kissed scenes with Xu Can, naturally she wouldn't have feelings for other male stars.
"The handsomest Spider-Man in history" is not just bragging, is it?
At the director's call, the break time ended.
After Stone Sister finished her makeup and styling, she joined the crew to officially begin filming.
For some reason, when filming in other crews, Stone Sister could only feel work, feel exhaustion;
but when filming in Xu Can's crew, Stone Sister completely enjoyed it, feeling only happiness.
……
"Are you coming back for New Year this year?"
"No, I'm still filming here. I'll come back for a visit when I have time in the summer."
"Alright." On the other end of the line, Xu Can's mother Li Ping couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
