While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

After a grand and lengthy transfer ceremony, Megan, her face flushed and panting, asked:

"Damn, is my bad luck over?"

Cao Kun: "Yes, it's in the past."

"call……"

Megan let out a long sigh: "It was a dangerous trip; I almost died there."

Cao Kun laughed and said, "Would you like to try and get roles like this again in the future?"

Megan paused, then said, "Probably not."

Cao Kun smiled but didn't reply.

Once you do something like this once, you'll want to do it again.

However, Megan has now landed a major S-level project opportunity while being relatively unknown.

That's why she overdraws too much of her good fortune, which leads to a big blow.

Once she has the experience from "Transformers," competing for roles should be much easier for her.

I don't have to go through that terrible misfortune again.

Cao Kun had assumed that Megan would take a few days off after going through something like this.

But the very next day, Megan was back in training.

Cao Kun admired her dedication and ambition.

Of course, it's normal for her to have this mindset when faced with an S-class project like Transformers.

After seeing Megan off, Cao Kun re-entered the system.

Merit points: 11786700.

Seeing his merit points surpass ten million again, Cao Kun was overjoyed.

This time, the merit points mainly came from Pyramid Head and Knife Head Woman.

They are of the same level, each worth 500 million merit points.

There are many other monsters, but they are too weak, and there aren't many of them in total.

Fortunately, since it was the first time, killing such a monster rewarded me with quite a few spells.

Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, Purple Star Town Bell, Soul-Suppressing Dao Sound, Spirit-Binding Rope.

And most importantly, the "Nine-Character Secret Technique - Lin Character Formula".

However, when Cao Kun turned his gaze to the upgrade button, his smile vanished.

He is currently a seventh-rank Grand Celestial Master, and upgrading requires 1280 million.

He went through all that trouble, but the merit points he earned weren't enough to level up.

Upgrading the "Purple Heaven Thunder Dragon Dao Body Technique" would require a whopping 1 million.

The difference is even greater.

"I……"

Cao Kun was speechless for a moment.

He could only look at their spells.

Fortunately, all spells can be upgraded.

Of the newly acquired "Shrinking Earth to an Inch", "Purple Star Town Yuan Bell", "Soul-Suppressing Dao Sound", "Binding Spirit Rope", and "Lin Character Secret", "Lin Character Secret" cannot be upgraded.

It is fixed and improves as one's cultivation level increases.

The other four spells can all be upgraded.

These spells are quite useful.

Without much thought, Cao Kun spent 4444400 merit points to upgrade them all to level five.

Then, he spent another 200 million points to upgrade "Taiqing Sword Technique" and "Qi Observation Technique" to the fifth level.

As a result, his cultivation level and body-refining technique remained unchanged.

However, all the spells that could be upgraded were also changed to five levels.

The remaining merit points became 5342300.

In the early morning in Los Angeles, sunlight pierces through the thin mist and falls into Cao Kun's Beverly Hills mansion.

Cao Kun sat in the restaurant, flipping through several mainstream entertainment magazines. The front pages were almost entirely dominated by three women.

Variety magazine's headline was particularly eye-catching: "Rachel McAdams: The Birth of Hollywood's New Sweetheart."

"Wedding Crashers" has entered its second week of release, and its box office performance has not only not declined, but has instead risen against the trend.

The North American box office has easily surpassed $80 million.

Rachel's lively and captivating performance in the film made her the dream girl of countless men.

Of course, it's also possible that it's not just men.

Cao Kun looked at the photos in the newspaper.

When Rachel attends events, her inner and outer confidence makes her outshine all her female peers in group photos.

"Her endorsement fee has risen to five million US dollars."

The succubus Chris appeared behind Cao Kun at some unknown time.

She held a cup of coffee in her hand, her eyes gleaming with amusement: "She sent me a message last night."

It's said that six top skincare brands are scrambling to get her.

She's so busy she barely has time to breathe; she even sleeps in her van.

Cao Kun took the coffee and said calmly, "It's normal. Redness is good for one's health. She's at her most dazzling right now."

Chris tapped on the tablet and swiped out two more sets of data: "Amanda's side is doing well too."

Although The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants had only moderate box office performance, its influence among teenagers was astonishing.

Amanda is now a fashion icon for teenagers across America.

Her doll-like face earned her endorsements for three high-end luxury brands targeting young women.

Cao Kun glanced at it.

Although Amanda doesn't have the same nationwide popularity as Rachel, her fanbase is extremely loyal.

Amanda is no longer the unknown actress she once was; she now has her own representative works.

It's ready to be served.

"Where's Jessica?" Cao Kun asked.

"The real winner."

Chris smiled.

"Fantastic Four grossed over 5600 million in its opening weekend."

Jessica's portrayal of the Invisible Woman silenced film critics across the United States.

Although some people criticized her acting skills, they had to admit that Jessica was the most beautiful special effect in the entire movie.

She's now a global sex symbol.

Cao Kun put down the newspaper and leaned back in his chair.

These three women have captured mainstream public opinion, dominated the youth market, and captured the public's attention.

They all achieved very good results.

His efforts in helping them change their luck were worthwhile.

"Chris, how's that project you asked me to keep an eye on, 'Walking with Song', going?"

Cao Kun narrowed his eyes slightly.

He remembers it very clearly.

This biographical film about the life of legendary singer Johnny Cash is set to shine at next year's Academy Awards.

Reese Witherspoon, the lead actress, won the Best Actress award for this role.

Rachel's acting skills are in no way inferior to Reese Witherspoon's.

And thanks to the popularity of "Wedding Crashers", she can be on par with Reese Witherspoon, who came from "Legally Blonde".

Anyway, they are all from the "Rui" generation, so it's perfectly fine to let Rachel play this role.

Chris frantically typed on the screen, and reported back to her supervisor a few seconds later:

"Invested in by 20th Century Fox, directed by James Mangold."

Preliminary preparations are basically complete, and the most crucial casting stage is currently underway.

The male lead has been basically confirmed as Joaquin Phoenix.

However, the director hasn't made a final decision on the actress playing the lead role of June Carter.

"Haven't made a decision yet?" Cao Kun raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. The director wanted a woman who was both approachable and could also demonstrate that kind of resilient vitality."

Reese Witherspoon is the top candidate, but her current salary and schedule are causing some problems.

Chris paused for a moment, then said, "Master, with Rachel's current popularity, I think the production company would definitely welcome her to try for this role."

As long as she lowers her fee a little, she won't even need you, her master, to change her luck.

Her chances of getting this role are also very high.

"Your analysis is absolutely correct." Cao Kun stood up, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Call Rachel."
