Chapter 261 The Male Lead's Invitation

Although several people of Chinese descent have won Oscars, he is also a producer and investor in addition to being an actor.

The power they wield in Hollywood far surpasses that of those few who have won Oscars.

Some South Korean media outlets have even said that he is not of Chinese descent, but of Korean descent.

Of course, Cao Kun is not the only one who became famous because of "Fast & Furious".

There's also Jessica, who desperately wants to become an overnight sensation, and Vin Diesel.

Michelle's role was small and somewhat lacking, but she was at least a familiar face, and many people remembered her.

Of course, there's also director Lin Yibin.

Although he is not as famous as the actors, he has made a name for himself in the industry as a behind-the-scenes worker.

With such a huge success for her first solo work, it's hard not to attract attention.

But Cao Kun still benefited the most.

Besides earning more money, he also gained more trust within the industry.

For example, the movies he likes have a higher chance of becoming successful.

For example, he has the ability to drive box office revenue.

What is the immediate reaction?

More and more people are asking him to act in their films.

There were some before, but they were all supporting roles.

Now, finally, a script for the male lead has come knocking on my door.

One of the happiest people was Crowley.

Crowley seemed to see the day he would become a superstar agent.

These past two days, I've become increasingly cautious in my treatment of Cao Kun.

That day, Crowley invited Cao Kun to sit in the CAA building, but Cao Kun declined.

Crowley said helplessly, "Damn, you're a big client of the CAA now. Our boss wants to meet you."

Cao Kun said indifferently, "I'm busy."

Crowley had no choice but to say, "I have something to discuss with you."

Cao Kun: "It's almost noon, let's find a restaurant, I'll treat you to lunch."

So, about half an hour later, they met at a restaurant.

Upon seeing Cao Kun, Crowley said speechlessly, "The CAA has signed so many people, but you're the first one who has never been to the building."

"Does that matter? As long as I transfer the relevant funds to you according to the agreement, that's fine." Cao Kun asked, "What do you want with me?"

Crowley pulled out a stack of printed copies: "These are all requests for you to make movies."

I've tidied it up for you, take a look.

Cao Kun took it and looked at it. He found that it contained some script outlines, as well as information on the production company, director, and other actors.

However, none of these things can be trusted.

What we see as a script outline now may be a completely different story when the actual script is released.

The production company is very likely a small company that got a small amount of money from a large company, and then it just used the name of a large company.

The director and other actors were only interested in each other; they hadn't reached an agreement at all.

Perhaps his name has already been written in the lead actor section of the director's and other actors' profiles.

These practices are all too common in Hollywood.

In the industry, this is called "strolling".

They're outmaneuvering the actors, the directors, and the screenwriters.

Later, not only Hollywood, but also the entertainment industries in many countries did the same.

In any case, compared to production companies, actors have far less say and dare not say anything at all.

However, some of them actually came true after a while.

Cao Kun looked at these scripts and found that he had never even heard of most of the movies.

The story itself is unfamiliar to me.

He vaguely remembered some of them, but the movie content and names were completely different from what he remembered.

There were some with the same names and content, but Cao Kun didn't like them.

Cao Kun pushed these back to Crowley: "I rejected them all for you."

“I knew you wouldn’t look down on it.” Crowley put away the stack of printouts and took out another one: “This is an invitation from Paramount. Angie has already accepted the lead role.”

Angelina Jolie, Paramount Pictures, and this time period.

Cao Kun's heart skipped a beat; he already had a guess.

I took a look, and sure enough, it was that one.

Tomb Raider, an adventure action film.

In another world, this movie is based on a game.

Cao Kun honestly didn't know if this game even existed in this world.

Cao Kun asked, "Is this an original film?"

Crowley: "Yes, original."

Cao Kun immediately fell into deep thought.

It turns out it really is an original film.

However, this movie doesn't involve much horror.

This is an adventure action movie.

The only terrifying element is that the stone monkeys, statues, and Buddhas have come to life.

But those things were actually very weak; the female protagonist, an ordinary person, killed them without much effort.

The first Tomb Raider movie is about finding a special, mysterious triangular piece.

According to the setting, this triangular block was made from an extraterrestrial meteorite and has the ability to alter time.

After it was obtained by a certain civilization, they felt that its power was too great and could destroy the world.

So, the stone was divided into two parts.

One of them was placed in a tomb in a Southeast Asian country.

One of them was placed somewhere in Siberia.

But with the arrival of the new century, the secret of this triangular block was leaked.

In the movie, the members of the Light and Shadow Society always wanted to obtain this triangular block in order to control the world.

The female protagonist also wants to find the stone, but she wants to use it to reverse time and save her father's life.

After a series of adventurous struggles, the female protagonist finally obtains the triangular block and, in a time-space disruption, sees her father.

But the female protagonist still couldn't save her father; she only healed herself.

Like the others before her, the female protagonist felt that the mysterious triangular block was too dangerous and ultimately chose to destroy it.

The first Tomb Raider movie made money; otherwise, there wouldn't have been a sequel.

Cao Kun recalls that the first film grossed over $200 million worldwide.

But the second one wasn't so good.

This led to the cancellation of the third installment.

Years later, a reboot was filmed, but it also flopped, effectively killing the series, which only continued to produce game sequels.

To be honest, Cao Kun thinks the biggest highlight of this series is Angelina Jolie's stunning performance in a tight-fitting tank top.

As for the plot, it's a complete mess. The biggest villain, the Light and Dark Society, is a bunch of idiots, and everyone in it is a moron.

Moreover, the action scenes in the movie are like children playing around—not exciting, not thrilling, and not adrenaline-pumping.

Of course, if it were released before Cao Kun's version of "Fast & Furious" came out, it would be passable.

But now, with "Fast & Furious" as a comparison, if this movie were to be made exactly like the original, with the same farcical action scenes, it would definitely only end up being a flop.

Seeing that Cao Kun remained silent for a long time, Crowley asked, "Are you interested in this movie?"

Cao Kun: "Paramount wants me to play the male lead?"

Crowley: "Not bad."

Cao Kun: "The male lead is just a pretty face, a sex symbol, and in the end he has to be saved by the female lead."

Crowley: "There's no way around it, this is a female-centric movie. Paramount also chose it because Angie just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, as well as her looks and figure."

Cao Kun had to admit that Paramount knew how to cast actors.

The character of Laura is a perfect fit for Angelina Jolie.

Crowley asked, "Are you going to answer it?"
