Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 342 Signing Little Emma

In most countries around the world, being a celebrity holds immense appeal for everyone.

Therefore, thousands of children auditioned for the Harry Potter film worldwide.

After the first round of selection, 500 people were shortlisted for the second round.

After another round of elimination of 200 people, the remaining children will all participate in the movie, playing students at a magic school.

At this moment, five hundred boys and girls sat together, a dense, dark mass. Liu Yifei had probably only ever seen such a scene during the school's flag-raising ceremony.

Liu Xiaoli hadn't expected the audition competition to be so fierce. She said to Cao Jian, "Xiao Cao, it's so good to have you. Otherwise, Xixi would never have had the chance to develop her career in Hollywood."

"You're good, and so am I."

Cao Jian said politely, "Sissi is my goddaughter, I'll help you fill out the forms."

Liu Yifei did not participate in the first round of auditions, which means she got in through Cao Jian's connections.

When the staff in charge of the audition saw that it was Cao Jian who brought her, and especially since the girl in front of them was so pretty and cute, they immediately added Liu Yifei's name to the audition.

After settling his goddaughters in and letting them rest, Cao Jian went to the area where the auditioning children were resting. He looked around and found Emma and her mother who was with her.

"Hello, I am the producer and executive producer of this film."

Cao Jian introduced himself, but actually, he didn't need to; a celebrity like him was immediately recognized.

"Mr. Cao Jian, I've seen you sing, and you sing so well."

Emma's mother was so excited when she saw the globally popular singer that she was at a loss for words.

Emma, ​​standing to the side, acted like a little adult and said, "I like your rendition of 'Lemon Tree'."

"is it?"

Cao Jian is mainly too lazy to sing now; otherwise, he would have already swept the European and American music scene, and there wouldn't be the Backstreet Boys who are popular now.

This is mainly because he is too busy.

He looked Emma up and down, thinking that the girl looked just like a Barbie doll, very cute.

It's no exaggeration to say that she's been beautiful since she was a child.

Cao Jian imagined what Emma would look like when she grew up for a while before saying, "Madam, your daughter is very talented. In my eyes, she is the best choice for Hermione. I plan to recommend your daughter directly to the director."

"Mr. Cao, are you telling the truth?"

Emma and her daughter looked at the paper doll in surprise.

Since this person says so, they must be able to do it, so let's save ourselves the trouble of going through round after round of auditions.

"of course."

Cao Jian nodded, but then made a request: "However, your daughter must sign with our company and become a contracted actress."

"We promise!"

Emma's mother agreed to the request without hesitation.

This Chinese man has won an Oscar and is also a famous screenwriter and film investor.

His investment in "Titanic" and the resulting returns have become a popular topic of conversation.

If you can sign with his company, your future in the entertainment industry will definitely be bright.

"Okay, that's settled then. We can sign the contract now, and then I'll take you to talk to the director."

Although there are many rising stars here, Cao Jian only has faith in Emma.

Not far away, Liu Yifei and Megan were resting on a bench, but they kept watching Cao Jian's every move.

"Liu Yifei, do you think you're prettier, or is the girl talking to your godfather prettier?"

Megan felt uneasy when she saw Cao Jian talking to the prettiest girl she had previously spotted.

Although Emma is young, she might be another Brooke Shields in the future.

Therefore, in order to prevent Cao Jian from falling in love with someone else, they need to team up with the Chinese girl in front of them.

"this."

Liu Yifei is quite confident in her appearance.

But this time when I came to the United States, I saw Megan with her amazing figure first, and then I saw other beautiful girls, and I felt a little insecure.

Not wanting to lose face in front of outsiders, she said, "What does it matter to me whether other people are pretty or not? My godfather likes me the most."

"Liking you now doesn't mean I'll always like you."

Megan was not only physically precocious, but also psychologically precocious.

She just wanted to provoke Liu Yifei so that she would agree to become her ally.

"impossible!"

"nothing is impossible!"

Megan pointed at Emma and said, "That pretty girl is no less attractive than you. If your godfather likes her in the future, then you'll be out of the picture."

"What should I do?"

Liu Yifei is still a child after all, and she was genuinely a little anxious when she heard that someone would try to take her godfather away.

"It's not difficult at all. We can become good friends, form an alliance, and fight the enemy together. You're good-looking, and I'm in good shape. Two against one, how can we not beat our competitors?"

Megan then revealed her true intentions: "We can also deliberately embarrass the enemy during filming, so your godfather will definitely not like her anymore."

"Wouldn't that be bad?"

Liu Yifei was willing to form an alliance, but she felt it was inappropriate to use such underhanded methods against others.

"What's wrong with this? Are you just going to stand by and watch your godfather get taken away?"

Megan is quite shrewd, but she is still young and can only think of these methods to deal with her enemies.

"Ok."

Liu Yifei, being a child at heart, found the prank quite amusing and accepted Megan's suggestion.

"Then give a high five!"

"Clap clap clap!"

After they high-fived, Megan asked, "You like your godfather too?"

"Of course I do."

"I said it's not the kind of relationship between father and daughter, it's the kind of liking between a man and a woman."

"what?"

This question startled Liu Yifei.

After a while, she said, "No, it's just that I think my godfather is amazing, and my mom and I can't live without him."

"Oh"

Megan understood the situation and stopped asking.

But after a moment of silence, Liu Yifei suddenly whispered to Megan, "You're not much older than me, so why do you have such a great figure?"

"intrinsic."

Megan proudly raised her head, saw her ally's envious face, and suddenly whispered a few words in her ear.

"this is okay too?"

Liu Yifei blushed immediately after hearing this; what Megan said was too embarrassing.

Don't be shy.

Megan smiled and said, "You can try it when you have the chance."

"Look."

Liu Yifei dared not bring up the topic again, for fear that her mother would hear her.

……

"Welcome to Compass Pictures."

On the other side, Cao Jian looked at the contract with Emma's mother and Emma's names on it and was very satisfied.

This is a ten-year contract. After filming "Harry Potter," Emma will definitely become a global sensation. If we find her some endorsements, she'll be a cash cow.

It is said that Emma's assets exceeded Jolie's when she was twenty years old.

As her management company, they must be making a killing.

Of course, a few years later, it could also be his young girlfriend.
"I hope Mr. Cao will take good care of Emma in the future."

Emma's mother was also very satisfied. With the contract in place, it was confirmed that her daughter would play the lead role in "Harry Potter".

In the future, I will still have to rely on my daughter to support me.

After signing the contract, Cao Jian took only Emma and went to find the director.

"Chris, I've found Hermione for the lead role. We've cast her. You can start filming as soon as possible."

Cao Jian didn't waste any time and immediately cast the female lead. "Her?"

The director of this film is Chris Columbus, the famous director of "Home Alone," so his skill level is naturally beyond question.

He saw Emma and thought she was quite good; she also stood out during the first audition.

But there are so many other girls out there, and Kristen Stewart is also a contender. Have you really made up your mind?
"Don't worry, she's the most suitable Hermione. It's settled then. Let's go straight to taking the costume photos."

“Mr. Cao, this is not in accordance with the rules.”

"Rules? I'm one of the investors. Don't I have any say in this? If you have a problem with that, go talk to Kevin!"

Cao Jian never bowed and scraped to foreigners, and his attitude was very firm: "If this girl's makeup and acting are not suitable, then come back to me! I don't want to waste time on long auditions."

"Okay, let her give it a try."

The barbarians feared power but did not appreciate virtue. Boss Cao's tough attitude directly intimidated the director, leaving him with no choice but to agree.

Emma, ​​who was standing to the side, watched the whole process of how Cao Jian fought for his opportunity and felt really grateful.

Most importantly, he's handsome.

Although Chris felt that Cao Jian was a bit autocratic, he felt like he had been proven wrong when the official photos were taken.

Wearing her magic outfit, Emma is not only lively and adorable, but she looks like she stepped right out of a book.

"Is this Mr. Cao's vision? Having been a director really makes a difference."

Chris looked at Emma in front of the camera, but in his heart he admired Cao Jian's unique vision.

He had originally planned to complain to Kevin about Cao Jian, but now it seems that he is the real clown.

As for Liu Yifei, she plays Qiu Zhang, who appears earlier in the story.

As a supporting character, he didn't have much screen time in the first movie, but he appeared early and even participated in a Quidditch match, which foreshadowed the possibility of him having more screen time.

Megan plays an upperclassman in the movie, the kind with a great figure.
The male lead is, of course, Daniel Radcliffe, who is very handsome now but has become less attractive over time.

"You guys keep acting here, I'll come see you in a while."

With things settled in the US, Cao Jian plans to visit South Korea before returning to China.

Mainly, he really wanted to meet the Lee Boo-jin sisters and, incidentally, see how the filming of "My Sassy Girl" was going.

In addition, Lee Hyori is about to make her official debut, and I want to witness it myself.

"Godfather, then come early."

Liu Yifei's eyes were full of reluctance, but she felt shy when she remembered Megan's whispered words.

But seeing Cao Jian about to leave, he suddenly came over and hugged him, whispering in his ear, "I will miss you."

After saying that, he quickly ran away.

"That girl."

Cao Jian looked at the slender figure from behind, sighed, and walked into the waiting hall.

The plane he ordered won't be delivered until the new century, so Cao Jian can only take scheduled flights for now.

However, it was a private charter flight for one person.

As soon as Cao Jian stepped out of the gate after the plane landed at Seoul Airport, he saw a girl in sunglasses waiting for him by the roadside.

"Oppa."

When the girl saw Cao Jian, she didn't care whether there were reporters or not, and ran over to her boyfriend and snuggled into his arms.

On the bus, another woman named Lee Boo-jin, seeing this situation, didn't know what to say.

During her time back in South Korea, she couldn't help but think of Cao Jian several times, the man she had spent more than two months with, who had kissed her and flirted with her.

But she was certain that she was now a little jealous.

He was jealous of his own sister.

Am I really going to have to compete with my sister for a man?

"Get in the car."

With people coming and going at the airport, Cao Jian naturally couldn't be being affectionate with Li Yixin in public.

But once he got into the van, he immediately paused, "Fu Zhen?"

"Oppa, I'm free today, so I came with you to pick you up. Where are we going now?"

Li Yixin, unaware of Cao Jian's affair with her sister, leaned sweetly against her boyfriend's chest and asked, "Did you bring me any gifts?"

"of course."

Cao Jian took out a gift box and handed it to Li Yixin: "I bought this in the United States. Do you like it?"

"like."

Although it was just the latest model of game console, it happened to be exactly what Li Yixin wanted.

Cao Jian deliberately glanced at Li Fuzhen, who had turned away, unable to bear looking at her, but he felt a little amused.

The fact that this woman came to pick him up means she has fallen for him.

He took another box out of his bag and casually handed it to Lee Boo-jin: "This is for you."

"I"

Lee Boo-jin originally wanted to be a little proud and refuse the gift.

But her joy prevented her from doing so. She took the box and found it contained a set of exquisite jewelry.

"so beautiful."

When Li Yixin saw the jewelry in her sister's hand, she wondered if her boyfriend was being a little biased.

"Thanks."

Lee Boo-jin was pleased that the man remembered her, but not wanting her sister to misunderstand, she simply put it away casually.

"Pack!"

Cao Jian was secretly pleased, knowing that the more Li Fuzhen acted this way, the greater his chances became.

In the car, he looked at the two sisters, one of whom had died young and the other had an unhappy marriage. It seemed that he had come to save them.

If I could win over these two sisters, my life would be perfect.

After having lunch with the Lee Boo-jin sisters, Cao Jian said he had to go to the company and returned to CL Entertainment.

"It's the last day of practice, so let's all keep our spirits up! We're going to officially perform tomorrow night, so let's do our best!"

In the practice room, Lee Hyori and her sisters were still rehearsing.

"You guys are working so hard."

Cao Jian pushed open the door and walked in with a smile.

"Boss, you're really back?"

When Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri saw Cao Jian, they learned that he had returned for their debut. Touched, they longed to be intimate with their lover.

"You two go out first and close the door."

Cao Jian also wanted to be intimate, so he asked Li Zhen and Yu Zhuxuan to leave, locked the door, and then hugged the remaining two.
"Oppa, what ranking do you think we can get tomorrow?"

After a long while, Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri lay on the floor, drenched in sweat, and said to Cao Jian, "I heard that SM Entertainment's group Shinhwa is also very powerful."

"Be confident. If you can't get first place with this song, I'll claim the show is rigged."

Cao Jian is full of confidence in the song "Change," which Lee Jung-hyun used to become a global sensation and marked the beginning of the Korean Wave.

This song has even been adapted into Chinese, Japanese, Romanized, and other languages.

It would be strange if a song like this didn't get number one on Music Bank.

He embraced two beautiful women and laughed, "Just wait until you become a big star, my girls!"

"Oppa, with you here, we believe we will succeed!"

With the support of her loved one, Lee Hyori regained her confidence.

She's still waiting for Cao Jian to write a single for her after she becomes famous.

Cao Jian joked, "Don't forget me after you become famous."

The two women immediately declared in unison, "We will always be Oppa's women."

After a night on a plane and a long day of travel, Cao Jian slept soundly with two beautiful women in his arms.

The next day, he took Lee Hyori and the others out for a good half-day of fun.

Evening, Music Bank.

"Fujin, are you free? Come over and listen to some music."

Tonight is the day Lee Hyori and her group officially debut, and also the day Cao Jian launches his final offensive against Lee Boo-jin.

He planned to conquer the most difficult obstacle first. Once he got Lee Boo-jin on his side, getting his sister, who was already head over heels in love, would be a piece of cake.
