Chapter 7: Your kissing technique is great, let's film it again

Since that kiss, things seemed different.

Xu Can found that Emma Stone was acting strange.

Every time they were filming, she was normal, but once the camera stopped, she would always find an excuse to leave,

fleeing in a panic like a little deer.

Weren't Western girls supposed to be very open?

It was no big deal for two people to do things adults should do,

so why would she be like this after filming a kiss scene?

Did he kiss too hard at the time?

Or did he eat something with a strong flavor that day, giving her a bad experience?

Xu Can recalled carefully, and none of those situations should have happened.

That day, they did kiss quite forgetfully, and only stopped when the director shouted "Cut."

Xu Can was indeed addicted to it, and his feeling for Stone Sister changed from "good buddy" to "beautiful woman."

He also intended to try dating Stone Sister a few times, upgrading their relationship from friends to dating partners.

But Emma Stone didn't give him a chance at all, and she would always dodge him when he tried to talk to her alone.

"No, if this continues, it will affect our cooperation in scenes. At least I have to talk it out."

Xu Can didn't like to drag things out when he encountered problems.

He preferred to go straight for it.

Back to filming, on a school baseball field, Xu Can and Emma Stone sat in the stands.

Stone Sister's eyes were a bit evasive,

and she only looked at Xu Can when the director shouted "Action!"

Whether it was because of her excellent acting, Xu Can couldn't see any avoidance in her eyes.

It was completely the state of Gwen looking at her lover,

her eyes were practically melting!

"You didn't believe the police, did you?"

Spider-Man had completed his first battle with the Old Green Goblin in public,

and he had saved countless citizens in the crisis,

but in the eyes of the New York police, Spider-Man and the Green Goblin were both dangerous elements, and he was already wanted by the police.

"Of course not, I believe you." ===== CHAPTER 16 =====

Emma Stone's eyes were clear as she gazed deeply at Xu Can.

She even subconsciously reached out to carefully touch Xu Can's face.

The deputy director scratched his head upon seeing this:

"That movement wasn't in the script, right?"

"No matter, let her play. This feeling is really good."

Director Marc Webb was practically shipping them on set.

These two were just too shippable!

"Are you afraid?" Gwen asked with concern.

"No." Peter smiled brightly, "I have to stand up. Save those people on the bridge; they need me."

"That's not your duty..."

"Maybe it is. Uncle Ben said before, 'With great power comes great responsibility,' and I finally understand it now."

According to the original lines, Gwen just looked at Peter with concern and then gave him a warm hug.

Then a football would fly over from afar and be caught by Peter.

That scene would be over.

However...

Just as Stone Sister intended to hug Xu Can,

Xu Can suddenly said, as if possessed:

"Come to think of it, I really like kissing you..."

"Huh?"

This sentence directly stunned Stone Sister.

No, why are you talking about this on set, in front of everyone?

Was it intentional or accidental?

That line wasn't in the script!

But Xu Can looked at her with fiery eyes, waiting for Stone Sister's response.

That's right, Xu Can did it on purpose!

Since she liked to slip away after filming, she couldn't slip away now, right?

He had received authorization from the director to improvise, so Xu Can simply started improvising.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's completely not a line in the script. Should we film it again?"

The deputy director scratched his head again.

"No, keep filming. Just like this..."

Marc Webb was already addicted to shipping them and couldn't extricate himself.

The director didn't call stop, so Stone Sister had no choice but to continue acting.

At this moment, she wasn't Gwen; she was just playing herself.

"Your kissing technique is great." Xu Can pushed his luck.

The usually carefree Stone Sister showed a rare, shy smile of a little woman and nodded embarrassedly.

"Well... your kiss is actually great too."

Emma Stone looked at Xu Can affectionately.

"Is that so?"

Xu Can grabbed her fair neck and kissed her deeply.

Three days after the last kiss scene, the two were kissing again.

"Camera 3! Pan up a bit, give a wide shot!"

"On the other side, get the football ready!"

While the male and female leads were kissing deeply, Marc Webb hurriedly directed the crew, fearing he would miss any brilliant shot.

"Football! Now!"

Whoosh—

A football flew toward Xu Can at high speed.

Before it hit them, Xu Can didn't even look, and casually caught the ball.

Then he threw it toward the goal in the distance.

Clang!

With a loud bang, the football hit the target accurately, and the goalpost was instantly bent.

Of course, some special effects would be done later to make the goalpost deform, highlighting Spider-Man's superhuman strength.

"Cut!"

Marc Webb got the footage he wanted and then called for a stop.

Emma Stone breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Xu Can would improvise again, and she really couldn't handle it.

"What? Want to slip away again?"

Xu Can looked at Emma seriously.

"No, Xu, I didn't mean to avoid you. It's just..."

Emma Stone was a bit nervous; she didn't really want to avoid him and didn't want the other party to distance himself because of it.

"It's okay, no matter what, I hope we can still be friends who talk about everything. That won't change."

Xu Can smiled faintly.

"If you're free, I'd like to have dinner with you tonight, how about that?"

"Sure, I'd love to."

Emma Stone's nervousness was relieved quite a bit.

She even felt that her previous avoidance was a bit ridiculous.

Clearly, that kiss just now was great...

The two sat on the stadium stands, bathed in the sun, enjoying this moment.

Emma Stone, who had suddenly figured things out, even naturally leaned her head on Xu Can's shoulder.

"Camera, hurry up, film this shot too!"

Marc Webb hurriedly called the resting photographer over and secretly filmed this scene.

The filming progress of 'Spider-Man' was more than halfway through.

Due to Xu Can's extraordinary performance, the filming progress was far ahead of the plan!

If the editing efficiency was high, they could even finish and release it by the end of the year.

This was a situation Sony Pictures hadn't anticipated.

Before the film was shot, 'Spider-Man' did spark a wave of discussion thanks to the vast number of comic and animation fans.

However, after more than a month of filming, the heat had approached zero, and everyone had gone to chase new hot topics.

To build momentum for the film, the publicity work would be carried out according to the plan during the post-production process.

As a result, the plan couldn't keep up with the progress, and Sony Pictures needed to deploy publicity in advance.

The company had complex feelings about this project.

Currently, the only series that Columbia Pictures could show off was 'Casino Royale',

the 'Men in Black' IP was difficult to film a sequel for in the short term,

and 'Basic Instinct 2' and 'The Grudge 2' had both suffered box office failures, dealing a heavy blow to the company.

Sony Entertainment urgently needed to launch a new IP, a fist series that was heavy enough!

So the top management looked around and finally placed their bet on 'Spider-Man'.

"Keep an eye on the filming progress. Make the teaser trailer as soon as filming is finished! We need to start promoting as soon as possible!"

"Boss, can an Asian Spider-Man really work? Should we dig into other IPs?"

"No, bet on 'Spider-Man'! I've seen the filming set; this Spider-Man might just give the world a surprise!" ===== CHAPTER 17 =====
