Cao Kun nodded: "Not bad."

A smile immediately appeared on their faces.

The producer said, "This is much better than the final product I expected."

Director Joseph McGinty exclaimed, "Mr. Cao, Hollywood action films have entered a completely new world because of you."

Cao Kun thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

Recently released action movies are often compared to "Fast & Furious" by audiences.

They discovered that what they initially thought was a very exciting action scene was actually incredibly weak, lacking any real appeal and feeling limp and powerless.

Cao Kun asked the two men, "Has the release date been confirmed?"

"It's set, November 3rd."

Cao Kun calculated the time, and it's probably not too far off from the first "Bourne" movie.

The fact that these two films are released at the same time has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that we can promote together and ride the wave of popularity.

For example, both of these movies are related to Cao Kun.

The downside is that they might compete for box office revenue.

But after thinking about it, it seems unlikely.

One is a spy action drama, focusing on suspense, thriller, and action.

The other film focuses on being visually appealing, action-packed, lighthearted, and entertaining.

Putting the two movies together seems like a viable option.

After leaving Columbia Pictures, Cao Kun called Doug Liman: "When will the post-production of 'The Bourne Identity' be finished?"

Doug Liman: "We filmed entirely on location, with almost no special effects shots, which saved a lot of post-production time."

It mainly involves editing, color grading, dubbing, and music composition.

"In another month, it should be almost done."

After saying that, he added, "If it's not edited repeatedly."

Cao Kun understood what he meant: he wanted the editing rights.

Cao Kun could tacitly approve of this, but he absolutely could not give it to them directly.

A month is enough.

After Cao Kun acknowledged the quality of "Charlie's Angels," Columbia Pictures launched a large-scale promotional campaign.

Actually, this movie doesn't really need any more promotion.

Two Oscar winners starred as the female lead.

This is the second collaboration between the two.

Cao Kun, a man at the height of his popularity, was confessed to by two Oscar winners at the same time, and became their producer and investor.

With just these few points set up, many people have already started to look forward to it.

In addition, the high-profile appearance of the three female leads and the exciting action scenes featured in the trailer immediately attracted the attention of many movie fans and whetted their appetites.

Once the advertising campaign starts rolling out, it will be hard for this movie to lose money.

“Master Cao Kun, are you free tonight? I’d like to get together with you.” Cao Kun had just left Colombia when Sivis from Universal called.

Cao Kun didn't need to guess to know what this guy wanted to do: "You want to talk to me about the release of 'The Bourne Identity'?"

Sivis smiled helplessly, "Nothing can be hidden from Master Cao Kun."

Cao Kun: "So now you don't even have to wait for the finished film to be released before you're already signing the distribution rights?"

It turns out that Sivis wants to see the finished film before they can discuss things in detail.

The initial cut of "The Bourne Identity" hasn't even been released yet.

Sivis: "If it were someone else, I would say that because we have complete trust in you, Global is willing to invest in you personally."

Cao Kun: "And now?"

Sivis stated frankly, "Right now, the other companies won't give us that kind of time and opportunity."

Cao Kun: "You're quite frank."

Sivis: "It's no use if I don't say anything. Knowing your way of doing things, you won't just agree to my request directly."

And before long, you'll receive calls from several other companies.

Cao Kun nodded; this was the allure of success.

Only through continuous success can one receive such acclaim.

If it fails, forget about such treatment, even whether it can be sold is unknown.

Cao Kun: "Just give me a quote."

Sivis: "Like Fast and Furious, 22.5%, that's a pretty good offer."

Cao Kun: "I need to think about it."

Sivis: "There won't be a lower offer than this, Master Cao Kun. For Universal to offer this price for your solo starring role, they've already taken a huge risk."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun remembered something.

In another world, the Bourne series is actually a Universal film.

He hadn't realized it before.

He's really taking advantage of Universal Music Group.

However, didn't Universal also manage to acquire Dead Silence?

It's going to be released on Halloween.

Cao Kun thought to himself with a hint of malice.

Sivis is right.

Over the next two days, Cao Kun received calls from Warner, Columbia, and Paramount.

These three companies, using past collaborations as a pretext, tried to get close to Cao Kun, all in an attempt to secure the distribution rights for "The Bourne Identity".

However, the quoted price was not lower than that of Universal.

As for Disney and 20th Century Fox, I don't know if they look down on them or if they want to wait until the finished product is released before making a decision.

Or perhaps it was because he personally took on the lead role that made the two companies hesitant to take the risk.

The prices quoted by Warner Bros., Columbia, and Paramount are all around 25%.

Only Global offered the best terms.

Perhaps this is also because he has collaborated with Universal for the longest time and the most times, and Universal has a greater degree of trust in him.

Of course, in addition to the six major companies, some smaller companies also contacted Cao Kun's agent, Crowley.

They also want to acquire the distribution rights.

However, they not only lack the sincerity of Universal in terms of pricing, but their distribution capabilities are also inferior to Universal's.

Cao Kun only cooperated with them after he had eaten his fill.

Since that was the case, Cao Kun didn't wait any longer and directly signed a distribution contract with Universal.

…………

The evil spirits gather in the basement.

Cao Kun saw that there was no image left in the mirror of the murderous mirror.

It stood right in front of the murderous mirror, yet it could not reflect the mirror's image.

All those layers of images have disappeared.

Even Cao Kun found the scene, which defied the laws of physics, incredibly amazing.

Cao Kun examined the magic mirror carefully and found that it no longer possessed any spiritual energy.

Similarly, it no longer possesses any aggressiveness whatsoever.

It was as if it were dead.

"Thank you, Master, I'm very full."

At this moment, words appeared on the ghost mirror, showing unusual excitement.

Cao Kun ignored it and stepped between the two mirrors.

He turned to look at the magic mirror and saw his image reflected in it, but he couldn't see the ghost mirror behind him.

That's a bit strange.

Cao Kun asked the Ghost Mirror, "Did you do this?"

“Yes, Master,” the Ghost Mirror replied, “Now, I can selectively appear in other mirrors, or I can choose not to appear. For example…”

The next moment, Cao Kun saw that the murderous mirror reflected layers of images again.

But this time, it was just an ordinary reflection.

Even more miraculously, the reflections on the ghost mirror vanished in an instant.

After a few seconds, it reappeared.

Cao Kun knew that the ghost mirror was controlling the images.

It can not only prevent itself from appearing in other mirrors, but also prevent its own reflection from appearing in its own mirror.

This mirror seemed to have truly come to life.
