Chapter 23 Transfer Ceremony
Seeing Cao Kun's expression, Amanda asked, "Not this one either?"
Cao Kun: "What do you think is good about this film?"
Amanda: "This is a sci-fi blockbuster with a budget of over $1.3 million from DreamWorks and directed by Michael Badr. You don't think it's good? It's said that even Spielberg was involved and appointed the director."
Cao Kun: "Does high investment plus famous directors guarantee success? There are countless examples in Hollywood, but there are also many failures."
Amanda retorted, "But that's Spielberg."
Cao Kun: "No one can be successful forever."
Amanda looked incredulous, unable to believe that Cao Kun could even refute Spielberg.
If she hadn't already witnessed the incredible power Cao Kun displayed, she would definitely think Cao Kun was insane.
After a while, Amanda said, "I don't know which one to choose now, can you help me choose?"
Cao Kun's finger hovered over two films: "These two."
"V-CS Team, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants".
Amanda read out the names of the two movies.
Cao Kun: "That's right. The female lead in 'V for V' is very important. You can try to get her."
Amanda: "This is too difficult. This is the new film by the Zwowski brothers, the creators of The Matrix. There are too many people eyeing this movie. I'm not a big enough star to get the lead role."
Cao Kun: "If it's not the female lead, then there's no need to fight for it."
But I absolutely must win over one of the four female leads in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants."
Amanda seemed less optimistic: "You said it yourself, 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' has four female leads, won't that make it less outstanding? Besides, it's a low-budget film."
Cao Kun: "Don't look at it that way. Big-budget films are certainly good, but low-budget films can also make people famous. In short, this film is very important, and you must get one of the leading actresses."
In Cao Kun's memory, "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" was a youth-inspiring film for many people, and it even had a sequel. It was a very successful youth film.
Blake Lively, another of Hollywood's four rising stars, became an overnight sensation with this film.
As for "V for V", although the movie was not a big hit, it did not lose money either.
Including the offline sales and rentals of DVDs, they still made a considerable profit.
In addition, this movie has a huge impact, and if he can get the female lead role, it will definitely become one of the representative works of an actor.
Trusting Cao Kun, Amanda said nothing more and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll inform my agent tomorrow and have her do everything she can to get these two roles for me."
Cao Kun thought of something: "Remember to let me know before you go to the audition."
Amanda's eyes lit up: "Are you going to hold a luck-changing ceremony for me?"
Cao Kun didn't say much: "You'll find out then."
"I'm already looking forward to it."
Amanda closed the notebook and placed it on the bedside table, then threw herself onto Cao Kun: "Let's do the ritual again."
The transfer ceremony was quite grand and lasted a long time.
Afterwards, Cao Kun and Amanda were both exhausted and fell asleep in each other's arms.
In the morning, Cao Kun and Amanda were having a simple breakfast when Amanda's agent arrived.
Amanda's agent is a white woman in her 30s.
I was stunned when I saw Amanda having breakfast with a man.
A man and a woman eating breakfast together—what that means is obvious.
This means that the two of them slept together last night.
Amanda, on the other hand, introduced Cao Kun to him quite openly.
Her manager is Wendy, and she works for Creative Artists Management.
When introducing Cao Kun, Amanda hesitated for a moment before saying that he was her boyfriend.
Cao Kun didn't say much to Wendy. He nodded and greeted her before getting up and saying he was done eating.
He then said goodbye to Amanda and left.
Once the engine noise outside had faded into the distance, Wendy pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Amanda: "Amanda, why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend, and an Asian one at that?"
Amanda: "Is there a problem with that?"
"Of course there's a problem with that," Wendy said seriously. "Many actors start dating as soon as they become famous."
Lost in the sweetness of romance, they neglected their work and missed the best opportunities for development.
Amanda, what you should be doing now is capitalizing on your current popularity to seize better opportunities, instead of getting involved in any romantic relationships.
Not to mention, he is also of Asian descent.
By the way, which specific Asian country is he from?
"Chinese descent"
Amanda provides the answer.
Wendy slapped her forehead, looking utterly defeated: "Chinese people are at the very bottom of the social hierarchy."
If people find out you have a Chinese boyfriend, you'll be laughed at and looked down upon.
Amanda: "I chose this boyfriend for better career prospects."
Wendy was stunned. "Amanda, are you running a fever?"
Amanda didn't explain further: "Okay, let's not talk about Cao anymore. Let's talk about my next task. I need your full support to help me get the lead roles in these two movies..."
Wendy finally breathed a sigh of relief when Amanda talked about work.
However, Wendy's expression changed when she heard that it was the movie "V for V" and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants".
"The V-shaped CS team, this is too difficult."
"It wouldn't be difficult for 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' to get a female lead, but we could have had better options."
Amanda: "I don't want any other options, I only want these two."
"But……"
Amanda interrupted her: "Wendy, if you can't handle this job, we can part ways amicably."
Wendy's expression changed. Looking at the girl in front of her who displayed a maturity far beyond her years, she nodded: "Okay, I understand. I will do my best to help you get the lead roles in these two movies."
………………
Cao Kun returned to Wenxintang and resumed normal business operations.
Last night and this morning, after the balance of Yin and Yang was restored, Cao Kun clearly felt physically and mentally refreshed, and his thoughts became much clearer.
It seems that such transfer ceremonies can be held more often in the future.
Taking out paper and pen, Cao Kun began to simulate a talisman in his mind—a talisman for changing one's luck.
Cao Kun will not participate in the formal transfer ceremony.
But lucky charms do exist.
However, there is another note on the back of this talisman.
"A person's luck is predetermined. So-called 'changing one's luck' is just using up the good luck that will come later. If you have good luck now, you will have to pay it back later."
Although it's like living beyond one's means and must be repaid, as long as one survives, there's an opportunity to grow and become stronger. Paying back the debt then won't be too difficult, and it's certainly an opportunity.
As Cao Kun was thinking and simulating, a Panamera pulled up outside the Wenxin Hall.
Upon seeing the person getting out of the car, Cao Kun was surprised: "It's you?"
