The next day, Viona called: "Damn, this person isn't in the industry, is he? I asked so many people to inquire, but I didn't get any information at all."

Cao Kun: "Strictly speaking, he is not yet a member of the industry."

Viona: "If you're not in the industry, there's nothing I can do. The people I know only know about things inside the industry."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Kun was somewhat disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.

Given Winona's current status, the people she knows are all influential figures in Hollywood.

It's reasonable not to know someone who hasn't officially entered the industry and has no fame.

However, Viona's words reminded Cao Kun.

Since even a big shot like Viona in the industry can't find out, then someone at the bottom of the industry should be able to, right?

Cao Kun took his phone away from his contacts, searched for a number, and dialed it.

"Master Cao Kun?" The other person sounded surprised, as if they hadn't expected to receive a call from Cao Kun: "You want to see me about something?"

“Yes, Clark, I want you to help me find out about someone.” Cao Kun got straight to the point.

Clark is that muscular female assistant director of horror films who claims to frequently deal with corpses.

Hearing that he was inquiring about someone, Clark asked with a smile, "Who do you want to inquire about?"

Cao Kun described James Wan's characteristics and then said, "This person has a strong love for horror movies. People in your horror movie circle may have heard of him. Please help me find out more about him."

“No need to ask,” Clark said. “I know this person.”

This time it was Cao Kun's turn to be surprised: "You've heard of him?"

Clark: "Yes, he's an Asian from Australia, and he has a good friend named Ray Warner."

The two of them wrote a screenplay and are looking for film companies to invest in them.

Even I've read some parts of that script. Although it has some flaws, the idea is great.

Unfortunately, I felt he was useless; no film company dared to risk casting a complete newcomer who had never made a film before, especially since he was Asian.

Cao Kun was overjoyed to hear this.

That's right, it matches what he knew about James Wan's experiences.

According to the information he had gathered, James Winwin and Ray Warner came to Hollywood from Australia with a script, looking for investors, but they repeatedly ran into obstacles.

As Clark said, nobody wants to invest in an inexperienced newcomer, especially an Asian.

With no other option, the two of them used all their savings and borrowed money from all over the place to make a short film.

It was this short film that impressed Lionsgate.

Ultimately, Lionsgate invested money to produce "Saw," which made James Wan an overnight sensation.

Cao Kun: "It's him. Do you have his contact information?"

Clark: "I can ask for you."

More than an hour later, Cao Kun received another call from Clark and got a phone number.

"Thanks, I owe you a favor," Cao Kun said sincerely.

Clark laughed and said, "It's a small matter, but if I can get Master Cao Kun to owe me a favor, then I've really hit the jackpot."

Cao Kun: "You can contact me if you need anything. I have to go now."

After hanging up with Clark, Cao Kun immediately dialed the number Clark had provided.

The phone rang several times before it was answered.

A rather tired voice came through: "This is James Wynne. If this is a sales call, I can only say you've got the wrong person, buddy."

Upon hearing this, Cao Kun laughed: "James Wan, want to make a movie?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, a voice came through again: "If this is a prank, congratulations, you've succeeded."

Cao Kun was speechless; the child had been so badly hurt that he had completely lost his confidence.

Cao Kun: "This is not a prank, but if you don't pull yourself together, I will give this opportunity to someone else."

"Really?" James Wan's voice rose several octaves. "You're really not kidding me? Which film company are you from?"

Cao Kun: "Let's meet and talk. Let's find a restaurant. I'll treat you and your friend Ray Warner to dinner."

“Okay, okay.” James stammered a little, “I… there’s a pretty good restaurant nearby, and the prices are reasonable.”

Around 5 p.m., Cao Kun saw James Wendell and Ray Warner at a restaurant.

James Wan is not tall, only a little over 1.7 meters, and has a somewhat unconventional hairstyle. At 21 years old, he looks thin and small, and his skin is considered dark for an Asian.

Who would have thought that such a guy would have a head full of all sorts of terrifying and exciting ideas?

Ray Warner is a white man, tall and big, not exactly handsome but not bad-looking either, good enough to be the lead in a horror movie.

It is said that the initial idea for "Saw" came from this guy's headache.

Cao Kun was sizing up the two men, and the two men were also sizing up Cao Kun.

The two men were astonished to see that Cao Kun was so young.

Originally, they thought the opportunity had finally arrived, but now, they suddenly felt uncertain again.

After shaking hands with the two men, Cao Kun said, "Cao Kun, you can call me Mr. Cao. Please have a seat."

Hearing Cao Kun's uncompromising tone, the two were not displeased at all; on the contrary, they felt relieved.

This kind of aura is usually possessed by big shots.

This gave them a glimmer of hope.

After calling over a waiter and ordering their food, Cao Kun asked, "I heard you've been looking for investors lately. What kind of script is it? Can I take a look?"

James Wan immediately pulled out a thin booklet.

This booklet is quite well-made; it's not the kind that's simply printed. The two of them must have traveled a lot to have put a lot of thought into the design, making it look more professional.

Cao Kun took it, opened it, and saw three huge letters—SAw.

Cao Kun knew that he didn't need to watch anymore; this was "Saw."

Sure enough, upon looking at the plot summary below, it was exactly the same as the first one.

This puzzled Cao Kun.

How exactly does a horror movie come true in real life?

The script came out just as he encountered the real Jigsaw.

No, Jigsaw appeared after the script was written.

But this Jigsaw has lived for over seventy years, so what about his life before that?

Could this really just be a coincidence?

Based on his previous experiences, what has come into reality are all horror movies from the world he originally lived in.

If he hadn't encountered Jigsaw before, would this script have never been adapted into a film?

Or rather, as long as Jigsaw appears, regardless of whether he encounters it or not, someone will make this movie.

So, if we see a familiar horror movie, then we can be sure that the horror in the movie has become a reality.

So, is the reason why "The Mummy" is about to start filming because the horror movie "The Mummy" has already become a reality?
