American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 103: Generous
Xiao Xian and Mary Jane stood in the middle of the set, and director Spielberg directed the crew to adjust the camera angle to ensure that every detail could be captured perfectly. All around them, the actors and crew held their breath, hoping that this crucial filming would go smoothly.

"Why are there so many people watching?" Xiao Xian looked at the audience around him and said helplessly.

"The world's most popular superhero is here to film a kissing scene. Who in the entire crew can resist coming over to watch?" Mary Jane said proudly while enjoying the envious looks from the other girls around her.

Harry sat aside, his eyes complicated and difficult to read, holding freshly peeled fruit in his hands. He seemed to be nonchalant, but in fact he was nervously paying attention to the scene that was about to unfold.

"Jane? Do you want to use a stand-in?"

Glancing at Harry who was obviously very concerned, Spielberg took the initiative to say that even if other people were Oscar-winning actresses, they would not be able to use a body double when filming kissing scenes in his movies. But the person in front of him was the young lady of the Osborn Group, and Harry Osborn was sitting next to her.

Harry is generous now, but who knows if he will blame himself for jealousy when he wakes up in a dream at midnight?

"No need, director. I'm a professional actor." Mary Jane immediately shook her head when she heard that. Why did she reject it? What a joke. She should give up the kissing scene with Xiao Xian and let Xiao Xian kiss the stand-in. She was not mind-controlled by the White Queen.

"Okay then." Spielberg looked at Harry and saw that he didn't say anything. He couldn't persuade him anymore, so he just asked, "Are you ready?"

Xiao Xian nodded, and Mary Jane also nodded slightly, took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and prepared to immerse herself in the role.

"Action!" With Spielberg's order, the entire set fell silent.

Xiao Xian slowly walked towards Mary Jane, their eyes met, and the air seemed to be filled with electricity. Xiao Xian reached out and gently touched Mary Jane's cheek. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this gentle touch. Then, Xiao Xian lowered his head, and their lips slowly approached, and finally pressed tightly together, performing a passionate and affectionate French kiss.

Harry watched from the side, his expression constantly changing from the initial nervousness to a complex relief, as if at this moment, he finally accepted the development of things.

"Cut!" Spielberg's voice sounded, breaking the silence in the scene. "Very good! Mary Jane's acting is great! Xiao Xian is also very handsome. The audience will love this scene."

What do you mean Xiao Xian is also handsome? The subtext is that I have no acting skills, right? Xiao Xian thought to himself as he supported Mary Jane, whose legs were already weak.

"That's the feeling. Let's just shoot one more take as a backup." Spielberg wanted to strike while the iron was hot and finish the shoot quickly.

"Wait, director, let's shoot again later. I need to adjust my mood." Mary Jane declined. She could not even stand steadily now. If it happened again, Mary Jane was afraid that she would make a fool of herself in public.

"You're not in the right mood. Okay, let's take a break and continue shooting later." Just as he was about to say that Mary Jane was in a very good mood right now, Spielberg noticed that Mary Jane leaned on Xiao Xian to stand firmly and immediately changed his words.

Spielberg decided to take advantage of this time to talk to Xiao Xian about the play. Although Xiao Xian's looks are enough, it would be better if his acting was as realistic as possible.

Spielberg took Xiao Xian aside and taught him acting skills in a low voice, explaining the character's inner world, thoughts and ideas, and internal motivations for behavior.

Finally, Spielberg concluded

"In short, you are acting as yourself and just act the way you usually appear in public. But in this scene, you'd better show that you feel moved." "Feeling moved? I thought I acted okay just now." Xiao Xian asked doubtfully. Today Mary Jane wore a bright red costume, which showed a pure and sensual style. Xiao Xian was really moved and decided that she would sleep with him tonight.

After looking around and confirming that Harry was accompanying Mary Jane and not paying attention to the situation here, Spielberg whispered

"What you're performing is not a feeling of excitement, but desire. I want the feeling of a young boy's eyes lighting up when he meets his first love, not the feeling of an experienced customer's eyes lighting up when he sees today's technician is particularly beautiful. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. You are making things difficult for me, right? Or is it the screenwriter who is making things difficult for me?" Xiao Xian nodded thoughtfully, then said

"I'm playing a cameo role in my true colors. Do you think I could possibly have the same feeling towards others as when you meet your first love, when your eyes light up? Everyone knows that my nickname is the Goddess Killer, and you actually let me play an innocent boy?"

"." Oh my god, what he said makes so much sense that I was speechless. Spielberg was completely stumped by Xiao Xian's words and felt that it seemed that it was indeed the screenwriter's problem.

"Then just act like this, it is indeed more reasonable."

Spielberg finally said helplessly, forget it, anyway, Xiao Xian’s role in this movie is just to be a male vase to attract female audiences to watch it, so his acting skills don’t matter.

As a guest role, Xiao Xian had very few scenes. After filming the kissing scene with Mary Jane and a few more shots that were popular among female fans, Xiao Xian's mission for the day was considered completed.

But when Xiao Xian was about to leave, Harry came over and invited Xiao Xian with a mysterious expression.
"Xiao Xian, I was thinking, maybe we could...have dinner together? Mary Jane has something she wants to discuss with you about the plot and acting."

"Huh?" Xiao Xian was a little confused. Harry invited him to dinner? The White Queen was so powerful?
"I know we had conflicts in the past, but for Mary Jane, I am willing to put them aside temporarily." Harry added awkwardly when he saw Xiao Xian's surprised expression.

"Okay." Xiao Xian thought about it and nodded.

Harry heaved a sigh of relief after getting Xiao Xian's affirmative answer. He didn't dare to imagine how disappointed Mary Jane would be in him if she knew that his invitation had failed.

"Thanks, you're much more generous than I thought."

"Oh, that's okay." Who can be more magnanimous than you? Looking at Harry, Xiao Xian complained in his heart, inviting me and your wife to dinner, most people can't do it.

At night, in Harry's mansion, the three of them sat around an exquisite dining table. Expensive artworks hung on the walls, and the soft lighting made the entire space warm and luxurious. The light from the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling reflected on the exquisite silverware and tableware, creating an indescribable noble atmosphere.

As the host, Harry wore a well-tailored suit. When he saw Mary Jane and Xiao Xian chatting happily, Mary Jane also showed a relieved smile on her face.

At the dining table, the White Queen, who was ignored by Harry and Mary Jane, bent over and looked at the scene under the table and spat

"Bitch~"
