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

Scarlett pressed her for answers several more times, even resorting to various "tricks".

But Cao Kun remained calm and composed.

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of her, Scarlett had no choice but to give up.

But she felt much better. She knew Cao Kun never made empty promises.

"All right."

Scarlett calmed her breathing and looked at Cao Kun. "Since I lost, then according to the agreement... what do you want me to do?"

Cao Kun looked at her delicate face and beckoned her closer.

Scarlett obediently leaned close to his ear.

Cao Kun whispered a few words.

Scarlett's face flushed bright red instantly, even her long neck turned pink.

Her eyes widened, and she punched Cao Kun in the chest in embarrassment and anger: "You...you're a pervert! How could you make such a request?"

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow: "A bet is a bet."

Scarlett bit her red lips, her eyes struggling for a long time.

Finally, blushing, she replied in a barely audible voice, "...Fine. After all, you're the boss."

As night deepened, a different kind of noise rose from the bedroom.

Scarlett slept in very late.

When he got out of bed and walked, his posture was very strange, which made Cao Kun laugh out loud.

"You're still laughing." Scarlett threw a pillow at him.

………………

In August, heatwaves swept through every inch of Los Angeles' asphalt roads.

Cao Kun leaned back in a lounge chair by the pool, flipping through a stack of industry newsletters that had just been delivered.

The succubus Chris was wearing a sexy bikini at that moment...

He darted through the water like a fish, occasionally popping his head up to place a plate of chilled grapes next to Cao Kun.

"Master, Amanda and Jessica have just sent back a message."

Chris lay on the edge of the pool, glistening water droplets sliding down the perfect lines of her back.

"The auditions for Happy Feet are over, and the two of them performed very well."

Warner Bros. signed them directly, and Amanda got the important role alongside the main character, the penguin.

Jessica got another one too.

Cao Kun took off his sunglasses and tossed them onto the table: "What about the other two?"

"I've also signed contracts for Cars and Over the Hedge, both for great voice acting roles."

Chris laughed and said, "The two of them have been very excited lately and have been practicing their voices at home."

Although no real people appeared on screen, the pay was very generous, and this type of animation has a very wide audience.

Cao Kun nodded.

With these three animated works, these two women's careers will surely reach new heights.

Who doesn't like to follow in the footsteps of successful people?

Especially in places like Hollywood.

……

September arrived in the blink of an eye.

In the past month, the speed at which resources have been circulating in Hollywood has been astonishing.

And Cao Kun's name carries increasing weight in top circles.

"Damn, I've wrapped up filming."

On the phone, Rachel's voice sounded like a relieved exhaustion.

"All scenes for 'Walking with Song' have wrapped up this afternoon."

Director James said my performance exceeded his expectations.

He even thought I had a chance to compete in next year's awards season.

Cao Kun stood by the window of his study, looking at the lawn outside that was beginning to turn yellow.

"You did a great job. You've worked hard these past few days. Go back to Los Angeles and rest for a few days. I have a gift for you."

"I'm already on my way to the airport, wait for me."

Rachel's voice sounded much lighter when she hung up the phone.

Just as Rachel hung up, Peter Berg called.

"Boss, filming for 'Hancock' has wrapped!"

Peter's tone was very excited: "Tom was like a madman on set, his sense of decadence was spot on."

I have a feeling that after this movie is released, those media outlets that said he was crazy will shut up.

Cao Kun: "We need to speed up post-production and not skimp on special effects."

I want the most stunning visual effects.

"Understood, boss. I'll go check on the editing room right now."

……

In addition to these two blockbusters, another core project of Cao Kun Pictures has also been officially launched.

The script for "The Pursuit of Happyness" was revised three times by Steve Conrad.

Finally, Cao Kun gave his approval in early September.

The filming location was set in San Francisco.

Denzel-HSD has officially joined the team.

This Black actor lost over ten kilograms for the role, making him look thin yet resilient.

Cao Kun visited the set once.

On set, Denzel was working hard to rehearse with the young actor playing his son.

Watching Denzel's superb acting on the monitor, Cao Kun said to the Paramount producer:

"This film will not only make money, it will become a classic."

The producer wiped the sweat from his brow and repeatedly agreed.

……

What Cao Kun values ​​most is the progress of "Iron Man".

Inside the offices at Marvel headquarters.

Avi and Permat sat opposite Cao Kun, with a thick script on the table.

"Cao, the script is finalized."

Avi pushed up his glasses and said solemnly, "We've chosen the director—Jon Fat Ru."

His film *The Adventures of Elf* had a fantastic box office performance, and he's incredibly passionate about the project. You'll see.

Cao Kun opened the script.

The portrayal of Tony Stark in the film largely retains the transformation from playboy to superhero.

Cao Kun closed the script and looked at the two guys in front of him: "Jon Fat Ru...okay."

But I have one request: for Tony Stark's armor design, I want to see a real metallic feel, not cheap CGI.

Permat winced, "Damn, that'll add millions to the cost."

Cao Kun looked at him coldly: "Don't worry about the cost. I don't need a terrible movie that looks like Toy Story."

"Okay, we'll do as you say." Permat immediately shut up.

With the strong intervention of Cao Kun, the major shareholder and investor, the Iron Man movie finally started to set sail.

In September, the afternoon sun in Los Angeles was still scorching.

Cao Kun was sitting in his study, dealing with legal documents from Marvel, when his phone, which was on the table, vibrated.

When the call connected, Fleischer's voice came through: "Mr. Cao, a father and daughter have come to the store."

They said they need your help.

"Okay, tell him to wait for me."

Cao Kun hung up the phone, changed into a light shirt, and drove to Wenxintang.

Pushing open the store door, a blast of cold air hits you.

Two people were sitting on the sofa in the rest area.

The middle-aged man wore a dark blue custom-made suit, and his hair was meticulously styled.

Although his brows betrayed extreme anxiety, his every gesture still carried the composure of a successful person.

Standing beside him was a girl who looked to be about sixteen years old.

The girl had a distinctive head of blonde curly hair.

Wearing a floral maxi dress, she looked graceful and elegant.

What caught Cao Kun's attention the most was her height.

Although she is only about sixteen years old, she is already nearly 1.8 meters tall, with two exceptionally long legs.

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow slightly, recognizing the face.

Taylor Swift.

A future global pop diva.

At that time, she was just a fledgling, somewhat naive country music girl.

Cao Kun walked into the counter, casually opened his spiritual eye and looked around, but his brows furrowed slightly.
