Chapter 341 Casting for Harry Potter: The Pressure on the Goddaughter

The casting of Harry Potter has been circulating in the film and television industry worldwide.

However, he hasn't seen any information about Emma yet.

"She is the only one who is most suitable for the role of Hermione."

In the hotel, Cao Jian was lying on the sofa, looking at the audition materials of people who had auditioned recently, and muttering to himself.

This audition will go through several rounds. The first round will eliminate those who are not suitable in age or appearance. Then we will look at their acting skills and charisma. Finally, we will select the most suitable candidate.

Megan was eliminated because her figure was too outstanding.

"Ding Ding Ding"

Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking the silence in the room.

"Xiaoli, why are you up so early?"

It was evening in the United States, but it was just getting light in China. Cao Jian wondered if this woman had dreamed about him last night, which was why she was calling so early.

"I can't sleep, I miss you."

Liu Xiaoli did miss Cao Jian, but that wasn't her main purpose for making the call.

After expressing her longing, Liu Xiaoli finally got down to business: "Xiao Jian, I heard you're going to make a Harry Potter movie?"

"Yes, you knew all along?"

The internet wasn't as developed back then, and Cao Jian never imagined that Liu Xiaoli would know about things in the United States.

"I heard about it in Hong Kong."

Liu Xiaoli explained, "This novel is very popular in Hong Kong recently. I've read it in my spare time. Yesterday, I saw in the newspaper that you were going to adapt this book into a film, and I'd like to cast Xixi in a role."

"What a great idea."

Cao Jian focused on Hermione, neglecting the fact that many supporting characters in the book were also played by children.

He also remembered that there were Chinese faces in the fourth Harry Potter movie, and since others could play the role, Liu Yifei was naturally no problem.

It doesn't matter who else is involved, but the goddaughter must be pampered.

He immediately said, "Xiaoli, then bring Qianqian to the United States as soon as possible. I'll have the screenwriter arrange for a Chinese face in the script."

"Ah Jian, you're so kind."

Liu Xiaoli kissed the phone like a little girl.

After hanging up the phone, she said to Liu Yifei, "Qianqian, your godfather has agreed. We'll go to the United States in a couple of days."

"Yay! I get to see my godfather again!"

Liu Yifei does want to act, but she wants to see Cao Jian even more.

Looking at her daughter's excited expression, Liu Xiaoli thought to herself, "It was so good to follow Cao Jian back then; now my daughter has actually made it into Hollywood."

Having Hollywood experience means you'll have a prestigious background even if you develop your career domestically.

Cao Jian was also looking forward to meeting Liu Xiaoli and her daughter.

Sister Liu's charming and mature demeanor is unmatched by most young girls.

However, if Liu Yifei plays a supporting role in "Harry Potter", will this girl steal Emma's thunder?

Who can blame her, this almost fourteen-year-old fairy sister is already radiant.

Just then, the bodyguard's voice came from the doorway: "Boss, a girl named Megan has arrived and is in the coffee shop downstairs."

"understood."

Cao Jian dressed casually and came downstairs in a very relaxed manner.

In the coffee shop, a young girl sat by the window, her hands resting on the table, quietly gazing out the window.

Although her face still looked youthful, her slightly bent waist looked very slender, and the pert buttocks below her waist were already quite alluring.

No wonder she was once hailed as one of the world's sexiest actresses, that figure...
Cao Jian glanced at her a few more times before walking over to the girl and saying, "Hello, Miss Megan, I'm Cao Jian. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Mr. Cao Jian, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Megan stood up. Although she was not old, her tall figure was beyond the development of a normal age.

"Have a seat, what would you like to drink?"

Cao Jian couldn't understand what this girl ate to grow up like that; no wonder she could be a model with that figure.

"juice."

Megan also sized up Cao Jian and found that this wealthy Chinese man was even more handsome than he appeared at the World Cup opening ceremony. She laughed and said, "Mr. Cao, you are even more handsome than you look on TV."

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Cao Jian felt that this girl was more mature than others, especially in her speech, which showed no signs of being a student.

He picked up his coffee and took a sip, saying, "Actually, there are two reasons why I called you here. First, the female lead for Harry Potter needs to be young, and you are too good-looking, so you can't play the role, but I can play other roles."

Secondly, I was very impressed with your appearance and figure. You have a bright future in the film and television industry, and I plan to give you more opportunities in the future.

After saying this, he looked at the girl in front of him, wondering if she would get excited.

Megan didn't rush to agree. Instead, she remained silent for a while before suddenly saying, "Mr. Cao, are you trying to seduce me?"

"what?"

Cao Jian had just thought this girl was precocious, but now it seemed that she was a bit too precocious.

Although you look similar to an adult, you are still young. Even if I were to pursue you, I would have to wait at least two years, until you starred in "Transformers".

But now, you've spoken my mind.

Megan continued, "Actually, I had a lot of guys at school who wanted to date me. In fact, because I was so pretty and had such a great figure, I was envied by many girls and they even bullied me."

I feel so sorry for you.

Cao Jian never expected that this girl had such an experience; if she was bullied, it must have been really tragic.

It seems that having a good figure isn't always a good thing.

"The main reason is that my parents are divorced, and no one can help me."

After recounting her harrowing experience, Megan laughed and said, "If you date me, I might accept you. That way, no one will dare to bully me at school."

"Okay, then I'll seduce you."

The girl sounded so pitiful; how could Cao Jian not feel any compassion?

"Thank you dear."

Megan immediately changed how she addressed him.

Of course, being precocious, she was very clear that the Chinese man in front of her was very rich. With him around, she would definitely not be bullied in the future, and she would not have to work part-time as a model to earn money, nor would she have to guard against harassment and groping by some men.

"So this is what you call 'darling'?"

Cao Jian felt a little uncomfortable being called that by a young girl.

"You're my boyfriend now, so this is a normal way to address you?"

Megan didn't seem to care; she just had to get her hands on this man anyway. She laughed and said, "By the way, darling, what role are you planning to give me?"

"You must have read the Harry Potter novels, right? There are so many students in them, how could you not have a role in one?"

Cao Jian stopped correcting the way he addressed her and said, "When you get a little older, I'll arrange a leading lady for you."

"Honey, let's go shopping."

Upon hearing the name of the female lead, Megan immediately grabbed Cao Jian's hand, intending to go on a date first and also show off her figure.

"Ok."

Cao Jian certainly wouldn't refuse to go shopping with such a pretty young woman.

As she left the hotel, Megan glanced at Cao Jian, who was being protected by seven or eight bodyguards at a distance. She wondered how much money this man had to be able to afford so many bodyguards.

The early summer evenings in Los Angeles are very comfortable.

Megan, arm in arm with Cao Jian, strolled through various designer clothing stores.

She didn't have a happy family background growing up, and her life was quite difficult. Now that she has a rich boyfriend, why not go shopping?
Cao Jian didn't care at all; as long as Megan had her eye on something, he would just go for it.

The power of money made this girl so happy she almost fainted.

"Darling, today is the happiest day of my life. I love you." In Western culture, love is somewhat cheap, making it easy for Meghan to say it.

"As long as you like it."

Cao Jian was just having some fun. Anyway, for foreigners, having a boyfriend, breaking up, and then having another boyfriend is not strange at all.

Take Emma Watson for example; her romantic history is as numerous as the number of films she's acted in.

"It's so kind of you."

Megan kissed Cao Jian on the cheek with her delicate lips and said, "I really want to record this day as a memento."

"Documenting life?"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Upon hearing this, Cao Jian's heart suddenly stirred.

Isn't this just YouTube?
We have to do it!
The internet developed earlier in the West than in China, so we can start this video website first and then sell it when the time is right, which would bring in a lot of revenue.

Back then, Google spent $1.6 billion to acquire YouTube.

Thinking of this, Cao Jian picked up Megan, spun her around in mid-air, and kissed her back: "You're such a lucky star!"

"really?"

Megan was hugged like that, her petite body hanging entirely in Cao Jian's arms.

After being put down, she surprisingly said, "Darling, I don't want to go home tonight."

This blatant hint genuinely tempted Cao Jian.

However, Megan has a great figure, but unfortunately she is too young, so he said, "If you perform well after this movie, you can be my real girlfriend."

"you do not like me?"

Being rejected outright left Megan somewhat puzzled. Did she simply lack any appeal?
"I like it, but you're still too young. Wait until you're a little older."

"I'm really not young anymore."

Megan puffed out her chest, clearly unconvinced.

"How about this, you stay next door to me tonight."

Cao Jian ultimately did not agree, but instead took Megan back to the hotel and booked a room next door for her to stay in.

The next day, he approached J.K. Rowling, who had just arrived in the United States a few days earlier, and asked her to add a Chinese face to the script when they were writing it together.

After that, he called Ma Huateng and asked him to send a team to the United States immediately to prepare for the establishment of an internet company.

Before his team arrived, he contacted the lawyer he had been working with and asked him to register a new company, which he named "YouTube".

Three days later, the technical team arrived in the United States, and the company registration was almost complete.

Cao Jian bought a house right next to Blizzard in Los Angeles to use as YouTube's office.

With those things settled, Cao Jian spent the rest of his time taking Megan out to play every day.

With a pretty young woman by his side, he felt young again.

At the same time, the project "Malèna" was also finalized, with Monica Bellucci as the lead actress.

Megan was very envious when she saw this woman.

Although she has a good figure, compared to Bellucci, she is really a nobody.

"Darling, is Bellucci your lover?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"No wonder."

Megan then realized that her boyfriend had a better woman by his side and didn't want her at all.

At the same time, she silently vowed that she would make herself even better than Bellucci in the future.

For the film "Sicily", Cao Jian was only the investor and screenwriter; the filming was basically handled by 20th Century.

He also told Bellucci to give a good performance and to visit her in Italy when she had time.

With Cao Jian's help, Bellucci's acting skills have improved significantly, and she is now a well-known actress in Hollywood.

"Let's go pick them up."

After having someone escort Bellucci away, Cao Jian took Megan to the airport.

On the way, he instructed, "You're still young. In front of outsiders, you must never say that you're my girlfriend. Even if you have to, wait a few years, understand?"

"Of course I know. You see, I only call you 'darling' in front of others, and only when we're alone."

"clever."

Cao Jian remembers that this girl was ruined by her mouth.

After starring in "Transformers," she quickly became a sought-after Hollywood star thanks to her outstanding figure.

Unfortunately, during the filming of "Transformers 2", he not only cursed the director but also the producer, resulting in him being replaced in the third film and causing his career to plummet.

Therefore, I must give this girl a heads-up so she won't talk nonsense in the future.

When the two arrived at the airport, they saw Liu Xiaoli leading her daughter out of the exit.

"Godfather!"

When little Liu Yifei saw Cao Jian, she immediately abandoned her mother and flew over like a butterfly, landing directly on Cao Jian.

At this time, she was already over 1.5 meters tall, a fully grown young woman.

But in front of her godfather, she still acts like a little girl and likes to be held by Cao Jian.

"Little girl, you've gained weight."

Although it is said that daughters should avoid their fathers when they grow up, these two people did not avoid each other at all. Cao Jian even picked up the little girl and spun her around.

Seeing this doting behavior, Liu Xiaoli could only shake her head.

"What a beautiful girl."

When Megan saw the Chinese girl who was a little younger than her, she felt like she was a little angel. She really couldn't understand how she grew up like that.

Upon seeing Liu Xiaoli, he was even more surprised.

So all mothers are so beautiful, they have such good genes.

At this moment, Cao Jian came over and introduced them: "Xiaoli, Xixi, this is Megan, Megan Fox, an actress and model in our company. Megan, this is Ms. Liu, my friend, and this girl is my goddaughter."

"Hello."

Megan is a few years older than Liu Yifei, but the two look like opposites – one looks like an adult and the other like a child.

After greeting everyone, she asked, "Are you here for an audition too?"

Liu Yifei proudly said, "Yes, my godfather asked me to star in 'Harry Potter'."

"really."

When Megan heard that this pretty young girl was indeed going to star in this big-budget movie and was also her boyfriend's goddaughter, she immediately flattered her, saying, "Me too, we can be friends from now on."

"Okay."

Liu Yifei speaks good English and has a good feeling about this woman with a nice figure.

However, two days later, the pressure began for the two of them.

The next day, Cao Jian brought Megan and Liu Yifei to the audition. What caught their eye was a girl who looked like a porcelain doll.

"Emma, ​​you're finally here!"

Cao Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the girl who had been beautiful since childhood.

She's here. Once the male lead is confirmed, filming will begin soon.

"This girl is also very pretty."

But Megan, who was standing next to Emma, ​​thought, "How can there be such a beautiful girl?"
This show already has Liu Yifei, and now there's Emma too. Even though I have a good figure, will I be overshadowed?

It seems I have to form an alliance with my boyfriend's goddaughter. One is beautiful and the other has a great figure. If we work together, we should be able to keep this Emma in check.

"Is this Hollywood? So many people auditioning? The pressure must be immense."

When Liu Yifei saw these pretty girls who were about the same age as her, she wondered, what if these girls were more outstanding than her and her godfather didn't like her?
