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

"Hmm. "

"What about her, is she okay?"

"Hmm...... Fortunately, she will go back after sending you off. "

"Well, I want to thank her. "

Xu Can didn't know what expression to make.

Christine, people want to thank you.

"Why are you drunk? I've never seen you drunk like this before. "

"Yesterday night, you went to Taylor, right?"

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

He won't confess easily until he has a real hammer.

"She took a picture of her dinner, and her intuition told me that the person on the other side was you. "

"How is it possible, you are thinking too much. "

"Well, I guess I'm too sensitive. After all, we're just friends in terms of interests, right, and there's no formalized relationship. "

Seeing Sister Shi pursing her lips and looking at him with her eyes open, Xu Can was really distressed.

He's been with Emma Stone for almost a year now, as the best on-screen cp, as Spider-Man and Gwen......

The two are really in tune, both physically and mentally.

I can't tell if I love her or not, but if I like it, I definitely like it.

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

Sister Shi wanted to struggle, but she was easily defused by Xu Can's offensive.

It's a pity that it was all in vain, she finally wrapped her arms around Xu Can's waist, rested her chin on Xu Can's shoulder, and whispered in his ear in a complaining tone.

"Hey...... I'm now completely reduced to Gwen Stacy. "

Xu Can knew what she wanted to say.

In every universe, Gwen falls in love with Peter Parker.

......

"Fast Pursuit" has been reported frequently, exceeding $230 million in a week!

Later, after the box office statistics of the global market are settled, it is a certainty to exceed 300 million US dollars!

According to the professional forecast of the marketing department, the global box office of "Fast Pursuit" is expected to exceed $4 in the end!

It may seem like this is too far from Spider-Man's $1.1 billion, but in fact it is already a big win.

Win hemp!

In horizontal comparison, Tom's "Mission Impossible 3" has a box office of 398 million;

"Die Hard 4 380 million;

"Superman Returns" 391 million;

"Spy 3" 4.4;

"Spartan 30130 Warriors" 450 million ......

Which of these movies is not a combination of big-name directors and big-name actors?

The average production cost is more than $120 million!

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

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

There is no need to wait for the film to be released, and now a bunch of Hollywood industry insiders have jumped out to seek cooperation.

Everyone had a look of shock on their faces during the interview.

"To be honest, the cost of 16 million creates a box office of 400 million, and it must have been a joke to hear this kind of news before that. Right now...... Suddenly I feel old, and Hollywood seems to be the world of young people. "

Martin Scorsese, a well-known director who directed high-reputation works such as "American Version of Infernal Affairs", "Goodfellas", "Gangs of New York" and "The Wolf of Wall Street", commented on Xu Can.

"But 'Fast and Furious' really woke up my blood, and I wanted to make a cool enough action movie. "

According to an analysis by the Los Santos Times, Xu Can will earn at least $130 million from this movie!

The facts are not much different, and the first account-sharing remittance from the cinema chain will arrive next month.

$60 million!

Of these, 10 million will be invested in the company, enough to last for a long time. This includes the cost of Galaxy Music's album for Mildew.

The other 10 million will be reserved for Xu Can's own use, and 40 million will be backhanded into the production of "Iron Man".

Wait for the follow-up box office dividends to arrive, and an additional 30 million will be invested.

In this way, Xu Can can occupy half of the investment in "Iron Man"!

After the release of "Iron Man", it will break through the $1 billion box office according to the trend of history,

Xu Can will receive about 200 million yuan in account sharing income!

With an investment of 70 million, it will become 200 million in a year, and the annualized income of 285% is comparable to grabbing money!

When Xu Canmei was thinking about the official start of the "Iron Man" project, Kevin Feige suddenly called.

"Hey, there's trouble. "

......

"The Board of Directors refuses to approve investments unless there is a substitution. "

"No, didn't we say yes before?"

"No, I just agreed to shoot Iron Man, not to this casting. "

In the chairman's office of Marvel Entertainment, Kevin Feige and Xu Can sat on the sofa.

On the opposite side, the current chairman of Marvel and the company's largest shareholder, Ikepermut, crossed Erlang's legs and looked stubborn.

"You can spend a little more, wouldn't it be nice to ask Tom Cruise? I've communicated with him, and he's already agreed to participate. Do you have to be greedy for cheap, ask for a poisonous dog?"

"Ah, don't you communicate with other people, don't you communicate with me? I'm the project leader. "

Kevin Feige was a little angry, and as the CEO of Marvel Studios, he was solely responsible for the implementation of the film plan.

Theoretically, it's on par with Perlmut!

Perlmut actually bypassed him and communicated with other castings in private, obviously not taking him and Xu Can in his eyes.

"I'm the chairman of Marvel!

The old man's temper came up, and he couldn't pull ten cows.

Kevin Feige was also very angry, and was just about to theorize, but was held down by Xu Can.

Xu Can tried to keep calm:

"I've written detailed casting recommendations before, and if you want to shoot Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. is the only choice. "

"Tom is the top in Hollywood, but he is not Iron Man. "

Perlmut was unmoved, pouting and waving his hand:

"No, I refuse to offer work to drug addicts. "

"He's quit and just came out of the nursing home. Xu Can also wanted to defend Donnie.

"No, having him will definitely affect the film and the stock price. If you look at the current price, just by releasing the casting news, the stock price has fallen by 10 points! How much is 10 percent, you know?"

Perlmut pounded the table in anger.

According to the current stock price of Marvel 9 yuan,

A piece of news that "Robert Downey Jr. joined Marvel to participate in Iron Man" made Marvel Entertainment's market value evaporate by $70 million!

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

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

Now Perlmut, his eyes can only see the one-third of an acre in front of him.

Kevin Feige next to him was also silent, he was well aware of the current situation of Marvel Entertainment.

gave up the 500 million loan, Marvel has pinned his head to the waistband of his pants, and all his belongings are betting on "Iron Man" with Xu Can.

The film has not yet started filming, and the company's market value has evaporated by nearly 100 million, and whoever is the boss will feel distressed.

Only by changing the actor with box office appeal can we give shareholders confidence.

He was even thinking about persuading Xu Can to be replaced by Tom Cruise.

As for Robert Downey Jr., the penalty is pulled down.

500,000 yuan is nothing, not even a fraction of Tom Cruise.

Seeing this, Xu Can was very clear in his heart.

This matter can't be good, and the idea of Perlmut and the Marvel board of directors being replaced can't be shaken at all.

Case......

Xu Can could only reluctantly withdraw his salary from the bottom of the kettle.

Since you don't agree with my casting, you are clearly trampling on my right to speak as a director.

Then I'll just change the board!

That's right

Xu Can plans to start ahead of schedule - Marvel's acquisition plan!

......

In 2009, Dis received Marvel.

At that time, "Iron Man" had already taken off, the world's first 1 billion box office, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe was in full swing.

Marvel's stock price has soared from more than a dozen dollars all the way to more than 30,

By the time of the pre-acquisition settlement in '09, the closing price was already $50.

At this price, Disney spent 4 billion to complete the acquisition, which is 80 million shares.

Now, Marvel's stock price has been falling all the way and has now fallen below the $9 mark to around $8.8. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

If the acquisition is to be completed, all shares of the Board of Directors are settled in cash......

Overall, funding is in the early $700 million.

Very good, compared to Disney's 400 million, 700 million to acquire Hollywood's future behemoth is already considered a cabbage price.

Now the question is, where did Xu Can get these 700 million?

He originally planned to make a few more movies, earn hundreds of millions of box office shares, and buy them before Disney made a move. []

Now Galaxy Pictures has only completed a "Fast Pursuit", and the company has just started!

It is equivalent to the shooter who has just made an electric knife, and he has to hit the six gods on the opposite side.

Even if the six gods in the later stage casually beat the other side, they still have time to develop, don't they!

"Harpy, how much can I borrow from a company?"

"Yes, we have a good reputation recently, and I know the loan manager very well, so I should be able to borrow a large amount. "

Harpy's tone is relaxed.

Xu Can seems to be going to make a big move, he has always planned and acted, it seems to be a big gamble, but in fact he is as stable as an old dog.

I guess there are new film projects again.

"700 million. "

"Okay, 700 million me...... Wait, there's no mistake about taking the dollar?"

"Yes, you heard it right, 700 million, dollars. "

Xu Can repeated every word clearly.

"Wait...... Wait!"

Harpy was stunned and stopped what he was doing.

"Why do you want so much money......?

"Yes, I intend to start the program in advance. "

"But ......," Harpy's brain raced, brewing words.

"You've gambled with confidence before, but this time the price is too great, so you have to think about it. What's more, I don't have a way to get you 700 million. "

Harpy is embarrassed.

Even if you can borrow 700 million, if the next "Iron Man" fails, the entire Marvel and the entire Galaxy Entertainment will be completely dragged down and sink to the bottom.

Is it worth such a big gamble for a movie with no big-name actors, no first-line IP, and a market that is still unstable?

Maybe the success of "Spider-Man" was just an accident?

It's just Xu Can's box office appeal?

It's a tightrope walk with a big belly - it's a risk!

And most importantly, it is really difficult for a production company of the scale of Galaxy Entertainment to borrow 700 million.

Marvel has many comic IPs and offline comic sales channels, and as a veteran enterprise for decades, it is not easy to get a loan of 500 million yuan.

700 million is indeed difficult for a strong man.

"I believe in you, Harpy. You said you have a lot of connections, you will definitely be able to get it!"

Xu Can's tone was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he expressed trust in a serious manner.

"I ...... I'm bragging. Harpy smiled wryly.

I knew it would blow so big, but now I'm shooting myself in the foot.

"It's really not good, let's try it at the celebration banquet after the premiere of "Twilight", the producer Marty Bowen and I have a relationship, he should know a lot of investors. "

Also, Christine's father, John Stewart, is also a well-connected producer. Director Catherine also knows quite a few people......"

In order to hide the embarrassment, Harpy hurriedly suggested.

At this point, we can only take one step at a time.

Try it at the other party's celebration banquet, so many Hollywood celebrities, how can you meet one or two useful people.

......

A week after its release, "Fast and Furious" had grossed $300 million worldwide.

Another more impactful work, "Twilight", officially premiered!

At the premiere scene, director Catherine, male lead Robert Pattinson, female supporting Christine Stewart and other stars appeared one after another.

Flashing lights on the red carpet!

However, they didn't enjoy the flash for long, and there was a violent commotion on the other side of the red carpet.

Journalists and fans were drawn in, and the flashing lights were endless!

"Gwen and Spider-Man!"

"The best cp of the century!!ahhh

"Xu Can, I love you!"

"It's a good match!!"

Xu Can, who was dressed in a black suit and resembled John Wick, got out of the car hand in hand with Sister Shi.

The scene was suddenly controlled by them.

Robert Pattinson is not jealous of Xu Can, and a Spider-Man can become popular all over the world.

In addition to the upcoming "Harry Potter 5", he has acted in so many movies and has always been tepid, which is already a strength gap.

Over there, Xu Can was completely noisy and surrounded by reporters.

"Excuse me, do you feel threatened by Twilight this time? Who do you think is better at the box office?"

"Xu 993, do you have the confidence to defeat Emma?"

Journalists like to ask this kind of question.

Xu Can has already experienced a hundred battles and is fearless.

"'Twilight' is going to be a phenomenal film, and I predict that it will grossing at least 300 million worldwide and gaining a large number of fans. "

"As for who wins and loses, Emma and I are best friends, we win together and there are no losers. "

Xu Can took Emma Stone's hand in front of him and showed a wave of affection in front of countless cameras.

Since that day's showdown, Sister Shi's attitude towards Xu Can has been as usual, and there has been no change.

At this moment, she unexpectedly looked at Xu Can, her eyes wandering.

Holding Xu Can's arm, he tightened a little tighter.

......

“Bravo!!!"

"Twilight" is a qualified popcorn film, with youth and fantasy, and is loved by teenagers.

The audience gave applause in unison, and it seemed that the box office was not a problem.

It's just that after the premiere, Xu Can faintly heard the audience complaining.

"Good-looking is good-looking, the male and female protagonists don't have a sense of cp, and they always feel weird. "

"It has to be Spider-Man, and the others don't match Gwen at all. "

The male protagonist Robert Pattinson is also embarrassed.

There was not even a kiss scene during filming, and any ambiguous and intimate physical contact could not be carried out, and the two people who played the couple were stranger than brother and sister.

I can't play the CP sense even when I take the first act!

The main creative team doesn't care about these, as long as they can make money, word of mouth almost doesn't matter.

A crowd of people rushed to the nearby Beverly Hills Hotel Ballroom to start the celebration party.

At that time, Xu Can met Mildew here.

"Xu, the director and they called me over, don't you want to find someone to get a loan to invest, so don't worry about me. "

Emma knew about Xu Can's recent difficulties and was very considerate to let him act alone.

The two kissed each other on the cheek and went to their own social meetings.

"Look, that's producer Marty Bowen, let's try it......"

Harpy and Xu Can stepped forward to join a group of successful white men, sipping cigars and bourbons, talking about the current economic situation and current political news in North America.

After chatting for a while, Xu Can suddenly felt bored.

They brag about the skyrim and can't talk about anything practical.

After maneuvering among different groups, Xu Can came to the bar alone again and ordered a glass of bourbon with ice.

It's still comfortable to make movies, but it's too troublesome to communicate in Hollywood.

Just as he was flirting with the mildew line while drinking, a blonde woman with elegant manners sat down next to him.

She was in her mid-20s and in her 30s, and she wore an understated, extravagant evening gown that only connoisseurs could tell was worth a lot.

The jewelry on his body seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is astronomical.

is different from ordinary rich women, this woman obviously exudes a sense of nobility, as if she is the daughter of a big chaebol family.

"Why do you feel familiar?"

"Mr. Xu, your conversation is too old-fashioned. The blonde woman chuckled lightly.

"Seriously, I think you look familiar...... You don't have the last name Trump, do you?"

"That's right, my name is Ivanka, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Spider-Man. "。
