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

Backstage on set.

Rachel was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, surrounded by three stylists bustling around her.

She's going to be shooting a video of a guy wearing a top luxury watch later.

Rachel's phone vibrated, and her tired eyes lit up the moment she saw the name on the screen.

She gestured for the stylist to stop, picked up her phone, and walked to a quiet corridor.

"Damn, you finally have some free time."

Rachel's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of dependence.

"Cancel all your upcoming business activities."

Cao Kun's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone direct.

Rachel froze, her grip on the phone tightening slightly.

"What? My agent will go crazy. Those contracts add up to tens of millions of dollars."

"If you want to win Best Actress at next year's Oscars, listen to me."

Cao Kun: "Compared to an Oscar-winning actress, all those other things can be temporarily put aside."

"An Oscar-winning actress?" Rachel's breathing suddenly became heavy.

This phrase was like a thunderclap, exploding in Rachel's mind.

If anyone else had said this, Rachel would have thought they were crazy. But this was Cao Kun.

He is the man who made her beautiful, made her famous, and even predicted the course of every movie.

Cao Kun said calmly, "Go to 20th Century Fox and find James Mangold."

Tell him you want to audition for June Carter in Walk with Me.

Tell them you can lower your salary.

Rachel hesitated for almost no more than three seconds.

She took a deep breath, her eyes hardening. "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll contact them right away."

Cao Kun: "Go."

Rachel hung up the phone and walked out of the corridor.

The agent approached, holding a schedule: "Rachel, after this shoot, we need to catch the 4 PM talk show..."

"Monica, cancel everything, postpone everything."

Rachel remained expressionless and said firmly, "I'm going to audition for 'Walking with the Song,' and I'm leaving now."

Monica stood there, stunned, her mouth agape, and the itinerary she was holding fell to the ground.

…………

Inside the villa.

Cao Kun put down his phone and smiled.

The succubus is right. With Rachel's current fame and power, she really could snatch this role.

Her chances of success are very high.

If he burns another talisman for her, then there will be absolutely no problem.

"Master, Miss Rachel has already taken action."

Chris appeared beside Cao Kun.

Cao Kun grunted in agreement, stepped off the terrace, and looked out at the distant Beverly Hills.

In his spiritual perception, the mark that Alessa left on the back of his hand occasionally emanated a faint coolness.

This means that the other world still exists, but it is in a state of stillness.

The setting sun streamed into the study, where Cao Kun sat at his desk, a lucky charm between his fingers.

This was specially prepared for Rachel.

As long as Rachel gets the audition qualification, and this talisman is burned for her, then the role is basically secured.

"Ring ring..."

The phone vibrated on the table.

Cao Kun glanced at it; it was Rachel.

He pressed the call button, but before he could even speak, Rachel's almost distorted scream came through the receiver.

"Damn! I got it! I really got it!"

Cao Kun's fingers, which were holding the talisman, paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "The audition is over?"

"What audition? There wasn't even a formal audition!"

Rachel's voice sounded like she was running, with heavy breathing.

Monica took me directly to Fox's administration building.

Director James Mangold happened to be there.

I did as you said and told him directly that I really wanted the role and was willing to take a pay cut to play it.

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow: "And then?"

"Then the director had me try out a scene from the script where June and Johnny were arguing."

Rachel was excitedly rambling on the other end: "He said the energy I have is just like June herself!"

In addition, the box office figures for "Wedding Crashers" over the past two days are right there on his desk...

The producer immediately had his secretary draft the contract!

Cao Kun leaned back in his chair, looking at the talisman in his hand that he hadn't yet used.

Cao Kun smiled helplessly: "So, the contract has already been signed?"

Rachel: "Signed! Just signed this afternoon, and the deposit has already been transferred!"

"Congratulations, Rachel," Cao Kun said. "Come back early tonight; we need to 'celebrate'."

"I'm already on my way, wait for me!"

After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun retrieved the luck-changing talisman into his system space.

Rachel really lived up to expectations.

With its current popularity and its decisive decision to lower its own value, it is poised to succeed.

She snatched the opportunity that originally belonged to Reese Witherspoon by sheer hard work and talent.

It seems that the Oscar-winning actress with the surname "Rui" will be replaced.

"Master, it seems you've saved on talismans."

Chris appeared silently at the study door, holding a bottle of iced cola.

Cao Kun glanced at her sideways: "It's better that she didn't need it, so she won't have any more bad luck later."

Chris walked behind him and placed her slender fingers on Cao Kun's shoulder.

She asked softly, "And... what about Miss Annie?"

If she knew Miss Rachel had it so easy, she'd probably be green with envy.

Cao Kun closed his laptop, his eyes calm: "She has her own path."

into the night.

Rachel practically burst through the villa's gate.

As soon as she entered the room, she rushed into Cao Kun's arms.

"Damn, I feel like I'm dreaming."

Rachel tilted her head back, her eyes shining brightly.

"The Oscar for Best Actress... Do you really think I have a chance of winning it?"

"I can't guarantee it 100%, but I can say there's a very good chance," Cao Kun said with a smirk.

"That's enough." Rachel brought her sexy red lips closer.

"Wait a minute," Cao Kun said, kissing her before stopping her.

Rachel: "What? You think I'm not attractive enough?"

"No, I have something good for you."

Cao Kun flipped his hand, and several pills appeared in his palm.

It's time to give Rachel these pills.

Soon, Rachel's exclamation rang out from Cao Kun's villa.

And the strange noises brought about by the transfer.

……

The next day, Los Angeles entertainment headlines exploded again.

Fox News officially announced: Rachel McAdams has joined the cast of the biographical film "Walking with the Song"!

Rachel McAdams cuts her paycheck to pursue her acting dreams!

From sweetheart to seasoned actress, Rachel's ambition is laid bare.

To those in the industry, this behavior sends only one signal: she's aiming for an Oscar.

Rachel, who was already very popular, suddenly received even more attention.

Now, "Walking with Songs," which didn't attract much attention before, has suddenly come into the spotlight.

The producers of "Walking with Songs" immediately realized the benefits of having a currently popular actor join the cast.

I'm increasingly convinced that choosing Rachel was the right decision.

Meanwhile, at the other end of Beverly Hills.

Jessica Alba sat in the back seat of her luxury car, looking at the news in the newspaper, her long fingers pressing hard on the photo of Rachel.

"How can this woman be so lucky?"

Jessica murmured softly, Cao Kun's indifferent face appearing in her mind.

She originally thought she was already dazzling enough with "Fantastic Four".

But now it seems that, thanks to Cao Kun's scheme, Rachel has already surpassed her.

"Jack, to Beverly Hills," Jessica said to the driver.
