Chapter 77

After that, he just let the Latin nanny clean up the kitchen.

"Hubby, you're really bad... I was supposed to shoot an advertisement today, I probably can't even move."

"Then rest at home for a day... Wait, what did you call me?"

Xu Can almost choked on his breakfast.

"Hubby, I looked it up later, this word means husband... We're not even married, you're too evil! Evil!"

Swift couldn't take it, hitting Xu Can's shoulder with her little fists, only to have her slender wrists caught by a backhand.

"Then why do you still call me that?"

"I don't know why, it just feels natural."

"Then call me a few more times..."

"I won't!" Swift quickly changed the subject. "Aren't you going to a meeting today? Go ahead, don't be late."

Xu Can checked the time; he did indeed need to go to the company.

Besides the scheduling of *Iron Man*, there were many film project discussions, such as *La La Land*, which Xu Can was about to film.

If it weren't for these things, Xu Can would have carried Swift into the bedroom and continued the previous activity.

"Can I stay at your place and rest for a while? It's all your fault, I have no strength at all."

"Of course, since you called me hubby, you're also the mistress of this house."

With these words from Xu Can, Swift couldn't help but feel secretly happy, taking the initiative to peck Xu Can on the lips.

"Then can I eat the dishes you made yesterday? The potatoes and beef brisket were so delicious."

"Depends on how you behave."

Swift hugged Xu Can again and gave him a flurry of kisses.

Since last night, after her seal was broken, she had become much more proactive and enthusiastic.

Xu Can almost lost control again, carried her to the bedroom, kissed her gently on the forehead, and turned to leave.

If he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to leave at all.

After Xu Can closed the door, Taylor Swift stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

"Now the trailer is finished, the rating is PG-13, and we plan to schedule it for the second week of January."

"No problem, what about other regions?"

"Everything is arranged, we can have a global simultaneous premiere."

Xu Can nodded with satisfaction.

The review of *The Dark Knight* in China is nowhere in sight; some content is a bit sensitive, and Xu Can suggests not cutting it at all, so some public relations work is still needed.

There's no big problem with *Iron Man*; the review was approved instantly, and the contract with China Film Group has been signed.

Finally, there's a film that can be released globally at the same time!

There is one month left, and the film's early trailers and offline advertisements have been laid out.

When *The Dark Knight* was a hit, posters for *Iron Man* could already be seen on streets everywhere.

And a few 30-second teaser trailers were released, creating some buzz on the internet.

Now the final trailer is about to be released; the storm of *The Dark Knight* hasn't subsided, and *Iron Man* is already waiting for release without stopping!

Xu Can's film offensive is wave after wave, giving fans no chance to catch their breath!

The aftermath of the controversy between *The Dark Knight* and the old *Batman* films has not yet subsided.

The "New vs. Old Joker" debate has actually reached a consensus in North America and around the world.

The old Joker is a classic, but Xu Can's new Joker has shaped an image that will go down in film history, and in the hearts of more people, it is vaguely a level higher.

It's about the difference between A-level and S-level.

But there are still some stubborn trolls who haven't watched *The Dark Knight* and casually belittle Xu Can's performance.

As a veteran American comic fan and a fan of Xu Can, Dr. Sheldon from Caltech simply couldn't stand it.

After arguing with others for hundreds of threads on the forum, it wasn't satisfying enough, so he simply filmed a video to retort to those stubborn guys.

Unexpectedly, Sheldon's retort video went viral, gaining tens of millions of views on YouTube.

His somewhat nerdy image, as well as his sharp, incisive, yet unusually rigorous choice of words,

spoke directly to the hearts of Xu Can's fans and left the stubborn skeptics speechless, declaring a complete victory for Xu Can's version of the Joker.

Sheldon tasted the sweetness and planned to open a video column to review live-action American comic films.

While he was recording a video in his apartment, Leonard on the other side was shouting, interrupting his recording.

"Excuse me, now is my time to record a video. You should have stayed outside the room for 30 minutes."

"Never mind that, look at this!"

Leonard excitedly clicked on a video; it was the final trailer for *Iron Man*!

It had only been released for 5 minutes on YouTube and had already exceeded a million views!

Sheldon's eyes went wide...

Da, da, da, da...

The drumbeat of the classic track "Back in Black" by the legendary hard rock band AC/DC opens the scene,

accompanied by a restless and passionate melody.

On the vast Gobi Desert, a team of military Humvees is speeding along.

Playboy Tony Stark sits in a Humvee, holding a glass of bourbon, relaxed and at ease.

"Are you all not allowed to talk?"

"Being respected, or being feared? Which is better?"

High-tech missiles are launched, decomposing into countless warheads in the air, forming a terrifying explosion in front of the mountain, the shockwave almost flipping the soldiers over.

"I want both."

"For peace..."

Boom!

Tony Stark is flipped over by the explosion, left on the verge of death, and captured by the enemy into a cave.

"Tony Stark, you are my dog now."

Ding—

Ding—

In the cave, Tony Stark picks up a large hammer and strikes the metal.

At this moment, Leonard and Sheldon in front of the screen don't know what the sound of striking metal means.

"Stark, what do you want to build?"

Bang!

The Mark 1 prototype armor breaks out like a beast, starting a massacre!

Boom!

"Welcome home, Mr. Stark."

"I'm awake, I want to protect people."

Stark puts on the mask, and the steel glove in his hand fires a laser!

Boom!

"There is a group of steel warriors enough to trample Asia."

In the laboratory, Tony Stark's armor is gradually perfected.

"Yeah, I can fly."

Seeing this, Sheldon couldn't hold back anymore, pushed Leonard off the chair, sat down himself, and stared fixedly at the screen.

The original rock music had been replaced by more violent and boiling metal music!

Accompanied by a melody that makes one's blood boil,

the silver-white Mark 2 armor soars into the sky from the garage!
