Chapter 28: Hugged by Avril Lavigne at the Party and Met Swift for the First Time.
At the end of 2006, it was New Year's Eve.
Xu Can was invited to attend a New Year party hosted by Sony Entertainment.
In addition to its film and television companies such as Columbia Pictures, NBC, and FOX, well-known celebrities from Sony Records and Sony Games North America were present.
It was equivalent to Sony's internal annual meeting. This party was not open to the public, and the overall atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
Superstars such as Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and rock queen Avril Lavigne from the North American music circle also attended the party.
The cast was also relatively strong, including Samuel L. Jackson, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, and DiCaprio.
Many A-list Hollywood stars attended in a low-key manner, creating a star-studded atmosphere.
Arriving at the party banquet hall, Xu Can looked up and thought, "Oh, they are all old acquaintances."
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, separated from these stars by the huge Pacific Ocean.
He didn't expect that he would now be blending in with them.
"Hey, Xu. Here, here."
Emma Roberts, a 16-year-old blonde girl with sharp eyes, spotted Xu Can at a glance and jumped to greet him.
Although Emma Roberts had a bit of a green tea bitch vibe later, she was still a lively little girl now and just a little annoying.
"Emma, you are here too."
"Of course! I heard you might be here, so I came~"
The little girl smiled sweetly and naturally took Xu Can's arm.
Fortunately, Emma Stone was filming Twilight. Otherwise, she would have been jealous if she were here.
"Xu, nice to meet you. I watched Spider-Man twice in a row. It's great."
While Chatting with Emma Roberts, he was greeted by "eldest cousin" Jennifer Lopez.
There were also stars such as Miley Cyrus, Transformers actor Shia LaBeouf, and "Sweetheart" Jessica Alba.
Several young stars expressed their admiration for Xu Can with exaggerated expressions.
Xu Can could only put on a professional fake smile to navigate this kind of social situation.
"Xu, let me introduce you to other people."
Emma Roberts was quite comfortable in this circle, thanks to her aunt's connections.
The little girl dragged Xu Can around among various stars.
"Xu? It's really you."
As he was walking, Xu Can was suddenly pulled by a thin woman with long blonde hair and smoky makeup.
"Avril, nice to meet you." Xu Can naturally recognized her.
Avril Lavigne.
She was really thin when she stood in front of him. Her height of 160 cm made her seem small compared to Xu Can's 185 cm frame. She looked as delicate as a bird.
"Wow. I'm your fan. Can you sign your autograph for me?"
Avril Lavigne was no longer the cool rock queen on stage; instead, she acted like an excited fan.
"Okay, sign it for me too. I'm your fan."
The two took out their pens, signed each other's business cards, and then took a group photo, with the little girl Emma Roberts helping to take the photo.
During the group photo, Xu Can's hand was gently placed on Avril Lavigne's shoulder in a gentlemanly manner.
Avril, however, got familiar quickly and directly put her arms around Xu Can's waist in a very intimate manner.
"This is a good photo," Emma Roberts commented with a curl of her lips in amusement.
"Let's have dinner together later when we have time," Avril said before she left.
"Okay, contact me anytime."
Next to him, Emma Roberts muttered, "Hugging you even though she's married."
In July 2006, Avril Lavigne held a wedding with band singer Derek.
'It had only been half a year, and her husband didn't accompany her to the party. Could it be that their relationship problems had already surfaced?'
Xu Can recalled that they announced their divorce in 2009.
"I just met a new friend. What are you thinking about?"
Xu Can couldn't help but lightly tap Emma Roberts's nose.
"Can friends do this? Then I want it too."
Emma Roberts ignored the remark and directly wrapped her hands around Xu Can's waist, clinging to him tightly.
The girl's fragrance was intoxicating, and Xu Can, having not been intimate with Emma stone for several days, almost couldn't hold his dick back.
"What are you doing?"
"Aren't we friends?"
"We are friends. Let go first. There are so many people here."
"Hmph. Sure enough, you still like Emma Stone in your heart." Emma Roberts pouted resentfully.
"Where did you learn all this?"
Xu Can was helpless, but fortunately, her agent showed up and introduced her to other Hollywood celebrities.
Finally, the room felt quieter.
Along the way, Xu Can kept meeting world-renowned celebrities and chatting with them.
The most popular entertainment work in the world right now was Spider-Man, and almost everyone was discussing it.
Even Marvel Comics, which had been in decline for a long time, had been revived and gained massive popularity.
Xu Can, as the core figure behind this success, had become a temporary top player.
No matter how big or small the person was, everyone basically knew him and was eager to say hello.
What if Xu Can's Spider-Man trilogy continued to be a hit? What if he took on other films and won Oscars with his acting skills?
By then, he would be a genuine A-list star.
Now was the time to make acquaintances and leave a good impression.
Feeling exhausted, Xu Can made his way to the buffet table. He poured himself a cup of Coke and picked up some fruit.
As he reached for cherry tomatoes, he accidentally bumped into someone next to him.
"Sorry..."
"I'm so sorry..."
They apologized simultaneously, then looked up and froze.
"Xu! You're here too. I'm a fan of your movies. I really liked Spider-Man!"
The blonde girl opposite him was quite tall, nearly matching Xu Can's eyebrows at almost 1.8 meters.
She had a figure comparable to a supermodel and wore a shiny black evening dress. She seemed slightly uncomfortable in the outfit, as if unused to such formal attire.
Her electric blue eyes were captivating, and her fair skin made her flaming red lips stand out enchantingly.
"Taylor?"
The girl seemed stunned at first, but then stars lit up in her eyes.
Her sweet voice rose a few degrees.
"Ah! You know me? Have you heard my songs?"
Nonsense. Who in the North American entertainment industry didn't know Taylor Swift?
At 17 years old, she radiated youth and charm.
