This gap will make Cao Yu audition for a role with other Hollywood actors of the same level, or even Hollywood actors of a lower level than himself, at the same time. As long as Cao Yu does not overwhelmingly outperform the other person, the role will basically be taken away by others.

.

After all, it is human nature to like to take care of one's fellow countrymen.

Although Cao Yu had already been mentally prepared for this when he first chose to enter Hollywood, it was so smooth at the beginning. First he was "Death is Coming", then "Spider-Man", "Harry Potter"

It's special, so it was ignored by Cao Yu, and it didn't show up until now.

Now that the problem broke out, Cao Yu was inevitably a little irritated. He kept tapping the folder on the coffee table with his fingers, making a constant clicking sound.

Cao Yu knew that opportunities like [Spider-Man] would come to his doorstep, and if he could encounter one in his life, it would be a high-stakes one, and he would probably be hard-pressed to encounter another one.

So now I can only find a way for myself.

First of all, Cao Yu eliminated these film appointments on the coffee table.

Although the first two movies were good, based on Cao Yu's memory, he knew that one of them, "Cat and Mouse Game," had basically been pre-ordered, and it was Leonardo.

As for "Minority Report", although it was not confirmed and it was good, the opponent in the audition was Tom Criss.

In terms of strength, Cao Yu is not afraid. Cao Yu feels that if he puts his system's temperament to the test during the audition, he will never be inferior to his opponent, or even surpass him.

But in this situation of differential treatment, his point is beyond the level of crushing, so the result is self-evident. If he cannot defeat others, it will only increase regrets and waste time.

Of course, if Cao Yu were to audition for supporting roles in these two movies, with the support of his current box office of more than one billion US dollars, he would definitely be able to audition.

And according to Cao Yu's current status, it would be fine for Cao Yu to choose a supporting role from these two movies, and it wouldn't be a loss of status.

But Cao Yu already has a supporting role as Severus Snape in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" this year. With Cao Yu's current status, it would be a bit awkward not to play a leading role in a year, but only to play a supporting role.

Too suitable.

The other audition film appointments left on the coffee table are basically small productions, although Cao Yu can almost 100% get the starring role as long as he auditions.

But this project had no impression in Cao Yu's mind, which basically means that these are hot chicken projects, or overturned projects.

Cao Yu felt that if he was cast in the role, even if he relied on the system's temperament transformation to play the role to the fullest, it would probably be useless, just like a wasted effort on the carvings.

There is no chance that you won’t be able to act if you want to, and you will be able to act if you don’t want to act. It’s just that if you act, it’s better not to act.

This dilemma made Cao Yu feel a little sad.

However, this coolness in his heart also made Cao Yu's mind sober up from the previous fiery state.

It made Cao Yu clearly understand how he should take his future acting path.

Whether it is an actor or a star, there are actually two acting paths, one is commercial, which is box office, and the other is art, which is winning awards.

There are also those big guys who can tread two paths, play both business and art, and win both box office and awards.

If Cao Yu thought that he had this system before, he could definitely be considered a big boss and could tread two paths.

But now that Cao Yu looked at his current situation, he sobered up and knew that he couldn't do this kind of operation even if he relied on the system.

Being in Hollywood, with only half a "pass" and being treated differently by others, if you continue to play this trick of merging business and art, winning awards and box office, you will probably kill yourself.

So for Cao Yu, the current situation is already very clear, that is, he must not take the path of a literary and artistic person. He only has a commercial person, and the only path he can take is the box office.

Don't think about Oscars, Golden Globes, etc. It's useless. They're all in vain.

This made Cao Yu feel much more relaxed.

And with the positioning and goals in mind, Cao Yu was thinking about how to go in the future. Now that he had ideas, he was just thinking about what means he could use to broaden and go further in his career in commercial films.

If you want to go far and wide in the field of commercial films, it won't work if you don't have a popular commercial series by your side.

Although I currently have two popular commercial series - Harry Potter and Spider-Man, looking at my current situation, it seems that the two popular commercial series are not effective!

So Cao Yu needs a third popular commercial series.

But the popular commercial series is not about cats and dogs, it can be obtained casually.

Every popular commercial series must start with a large investment of over 100 million to ensure a minimum investment, and then it must be successful at the box office.

There haven't been many such popular commercial series in Hollywood in recent years. In addition, I am still being squeezed out by Hollywood. If I have such a good project, others will not take me to play, and secondly, my competitors will be fierce!

Therefore, the current situation is basically a dead end for Cao Yu, unless there is a big production that is not favored. After all, being not favored means that there are fewer people competing, so he may compete with more others.

Thinking of this, Cao Yu suddenly had an idea and a name appeared in his memory.

A big production that was not expected to be promising, but in the end it was a dark horse and shocked everyone.

And it was followed by five movies in a row, which grossed US$4 billion at the global box office. It can be said that it was not unsuccessful.

"Pirates of the Caribbean." Cao Yu murmured.

"What?" The three agents and assistant Jerry didn't quite hear what Cao Yu said.

"Nothing." Cao Yu laughed and covered it up, but in his mind he was thinking about his chances of success if he intercepted Johnny Depp's hook.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Yu realized that the odds were really high.

First of all, everyone in Hollywood knows what kind of character Johnny Depp is.

He is drunk, meticulous, profligate, and even a little crazy.

That is to say, Johnny Depp's acting skills are really good, so he can still survive in Hollywood.

However, Cao Yu's acting skills are not bad, and there are system bonuses, so there is no problem in terms of strength, and it can even be said to be much higher.

As for their character, there is no comparison between the two.

In addition, the work "Pirates of the Caribbean" was originally not favored because of its niche subject matter, so very few people came to audition.
