Chapter 68

The director couldn't help but praise.

Stone Sister's expression instantly grew strange; she recalled what Xu Can had just said.

"Like this... imagine, I'm currently being intimate with Emma Roberts and Taylor Swift... the two of them just..."

Just imagining that scene, Stone Sister's jealousy flared, her eyes sparked with fire, instantly filled with combat power!

Even Xu Can felt a jolt in his heart upon seeing it.

"Alright, Emma. What happened just now was fake; our filming is already done."

"But what if it's real?" Emma Stone looked up, raising her Bai Xi chin, looking at Xu Can.

"Absolutely not, believe me."

Actually, Xu Can felt a bit unsure in his heart.

If Taylor Swift really were being intimate with him, who could hold back?

January 28, the mainland China release date!

The 2007 New Year temporarily had no new films; Benshan's "Leaves Falling Back to Roots," the delayed "007 Casino Royale," and "Huang Jinjia," which had been playing for a month;

In the vast majority of cinema chains, 70% of screenings were allocated to "Mancheng Jin Dai Huang Jinjia,"

Most audiences had already seen it; at this stage, many showings were empty.

But the cinemas would rather leave them empty than give "Spider-Man" more screenings.

It was unknown whether behind-the-scenes big shots were at play, exerting pressure on China Film Group.

There was another main reason:

In the minds of the domestic film and television industry, Hollywood live-action comic adaptations were bad movies; everyone was unwilling to schedule many screenings, fearing they wouldn't sell.

In this era, people trusted big directors like Spielberg and Cameron, or superstars like Schwarzenegger even more;

Or it was Zhang Guoshi's or Feng Dadao's New Year's films.

"Spider-Man" director Mark Wei Bu, actors Xu Can and Stone Sister, had no fame beforehand.

It was normal not to be favored domestically; after all, Hollywood initially didn't favor "Spider-Man" either.

Under such circumstances, "Spider-Man" officially opened in the mainland!

Xu Yuling was quite anxious; the opening day happened to be Friday; their senior year still had tutoring classes, dragging on until 5:30 in the evening before ending.

The moment class ended, Xu Yuling rushed out of the classroom and went with her whole family to watch her cousin's movie.

Classmates seeing this couldn't help but feel curious.

"Is Spider-Man really that good? Is it really her cousin acting?"

"Anyway, there's no evening self-study today; let's go see it; at least it's a Hollywood special-effects blockbuster."

"Hmm, regardless of whether it's good or not, the visual effects should be good, right?"

With this mindset, the other classmates in the class also rushed to the nearby cinema.

Upon arriving at the theater, no one had to queue at the ticket window; everyone's reaction to Spider-Man was mediocre.

On the other side, Xu Yuling and her family were already seated inside the theater, holding a bucket of popcorn and ready to watch.

The theater lights dimmed; after playing a segment of advertisements, came the familiar green background.

The Guangdian Dragon Seal logo, followed by the Columbia Pictures opening, then Sony Pictures...

When Xu Can's handsome face appeared on the big screen for the first time, Xu Yuling was already excited!

Really! It really is my cousin! How come he's so much more handsome than when he was little?

Parents and relatives all recognized Xu Can.

"This child has grown even more handsome."

"Yes, he's acting in movies in North America; he's already a big star now."

"Later, hurry up and ask your Ah Can for some signed photos; this kid has really made something of himself."

Xu Can's parents, hearing the sisters' praise, felt delighted in their hearts.

Afterwards, as the film's plot gradually developed and the action scenes escalated, everyone was completely immersed in the movie, not even bothering to eat the popcorn.

At this moment, Xu Yuling's classmates were shocked beyond measure.

"Holy crap! It really is a Chinese person! It really is her cousin?"

"So handsome! So thrilling! This imagery is absolutely incredible!"

"So satisfying!"

The most thrilling movie they had seen before was "Pirates of the Caribbean 2"; the shock brought by "Spider-Man" was simply leading by a huge margin!

All the audience in the hall were swept with excitement!

"With great power comes great responsibility."

"Who am I? I am... Spider-Man!"

When the students walked out of the theater, they looked at each other; on everyone's face overflowed an indescribable excitement!

"Did you just notice? The first-person perspective was so awesome!"

"Yes, yes! And those fights with the Green Goblin were so satisfying!"

"The plot is great too! I feel Xu Can's performance is truly incredible!"

"So handsome, no wonder he can play Spider-Man!"

"I declare, from now on I am a Marvel fan!"

"Pfft, I started reading comics two years ago; I've always been a Spider-Man fan."

"Don't believe a word of that!"

The audience coming out of the theater, regardless of age, were just like this group of Gao Zhongsheng students, excitedly discussing the movie!

So much so that the passersby who came after were completely baffled.

"Little sis, is this Spider-Man really good?"

A couple stopped Xu Yuling to ask.

"Mm! The best movie this year! Worth every penny of the ticket!"

Xu Yuling smiled proudly.

Spider-Man is her cousin! How could the movie not be good?

After "Spider-Man" swept the globe, it was now spreading across the Huaxia film market at an astonishing speed!
