Bai Ling, you might say she's foolish, but she knows how to seize opportunities.
You might think she's smart, but she hasn't even figured out the virtues of Westerners, and she's already starting to ruin herself.
In the end, she didn't do very well either.
Westerners, deep down, look down on all non-white people.
No matter how much you try to flatter and fawn over them, they will still look down on you and won't respect you.
The most effective way is to make them feel afraid, that they need to rely on you for food and survival, and only then will they truly respect you.
To put it bluntly, they're just like the Japanese devils.
Later, Marvel made a movie called Shang-Chi.
Just by looking at the ugly male and female leads they chose, you can tell how arrogant they are and how much they despise Chinese people.
In the new Spider-Man movie, the protagonist's Asian partner is both fat and ugly.
These are the best proof.
Cao Kun naturally had no liking for such a person: "I have something to do, I'll hang up now."
"Wait, Cao..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Cao Kun had already hung up the phone.
Soon, the other party called again, and Cao Kun hung up once more.
The other side was still persistent and actually attacked again.
Cao Kun was getting angry. After hanging up, he decided that if the other party called back, he would give her a good scolding.
If they call again, then don't blame him for being impolite.
Fortunately, the other party still seems to have some sense of shame.
After Cao Kun hung up three times in a row, she stopped calling.
Cao Kun shook his head. This kind of person is not well-liked here, but after returning to China, he will put on airs, as if he is doing so well.
Then, she can influence more Chinese people to learn from her.
This is a cancer.
Cao Kun quickly forgot about this person, and he couldn't care less what happened to her or whether it was a supernatural event.
Whether he lives or dies, what does it have to do with him?
He'd rather not earn that money.
Besides, this woman is doing so poorly, she doesn't have much money at all.
The next day, Cao Kun finally received a call from Lin Yibin.
Cao Kun asked him to meet at the company.
After reviewing Lin Yibin's analysis and filming plan, Cao Kun immediately decided: "Lin, if you're willing, you'll be the director of this film."
"I do."
Lin Yibin was overjoyed, but then Cao Kun said, "Don't be too happy yet. You don't have the right to edit or adapt the footage on set."
Everything must be filmed according to the final script.
Lin Yibin was not surprised at all: "I know."
Cao Kun: "However, you can communicate with the screenwriter beforehand and exchange your ideas."
After filming, you can edit a version that you approve of.
The final decision rests with me.
Lin Yibin was overjoyed: "No problem, boss."
Cao Kun: "Don't call me boss, call me Mr. Cao."
“Okay, Mr. Cao,” Lin Yibin replied.
Cao Kun: "You can call your agent to discuss your salary now."
After negotiations, Lin Yibin's final fee was $200,000.
This is a good start; the cost of "Fast & Furious" is manageable.
After seeing Lin Yibin off, Cao Kun had just returned home when he received a call from Angelina.
"Damn it, you actually refused to make a movie with me! You're going to drive me crazy!"
Cao Kun: "Crowley has a big mouth. I need to re-evaluate her professionalism."
Angelina: "You're fine now, why would you come with me to film a movie? Would it kill you?"
Cao Kun: "I have hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute, how could I be okay? I don't even care about your little bit of money."
Angelina: "Are you going or not?"
Cao Kun: "You're threatening me now? Are you asking for a beating again?"
Angelina: "Come on then, I'm waiting for you."
Cao Kun: "I'll settle the score with you next time. Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."
Angelina said viciously, "You can't escape, damn it, I'll definitely eat you alive."
Cao Kun ignored her rant and hung up the phone.
"Her condition is getting worse." Cao Kun shook his head inwardly.
Cao Kun has always felt that Angelina Jolie has a kind of mental illness.
He didn't know the professional name, but it was commonly known as "madness".
Time flies like water, and the days without anyone killing people pass by in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
The first draft of the script for "Fast & Furious" has finally been completed, but Cao Kun is not too satisfied.
Cao Kun demanded that there be plenty of car chase scenes, plenty of fight scenes, and plenty of shots featuring beautiful women.
A racing movie without any of these elements, what's the point of watching it?
However, these elements must be logically connected; we cannot simply race for the sake of racing or fighting for the sake of fighting.
It should serve the story.
This gave David Ayer a bit of a headache.
He started pulling a few screenwriters over again to revise things.
Lin Yibin also joined in.
He has his own ideas about racing movies and might be able to contribute some novel ideas.
In just over two months, Cao Kun also received the final payment from the theaters for "Saw" and three family income splits.
The combined income from these various sources barely reached $100 million.
Two of these transactions were revenue from the sale and rental of videotapes.
Another transaction involved several television stations purchasing the broadcasting rights to "Saw".
According to the contract, they can broadcast the show three times on their own television station, in three separate time slots.
After the third time, you have to pay separately for each subsequent play.
Household income is just so appealing.
The bigger the movie, the higher the revenue.
Some films have earned more from home theaters than from theatrical releases, sometimes by dozens of times.
For example, the famous "The Shawshank Redemption".
This movie performed terribly in theaters, received a ton of Oscar nominations, but didn't even get a consolation prize.
Ultimately, it dominated the home appliance market, consistently ranking at the top.
For some films, neither theatrical revenue nor household revenue is the highest; their highest revenue comes from merchandise sales.
For example, superhero movies like Spider-Man, and some blockbuster animated films.
Although it only took two months, Cao Kun earned 100 million yuan.
But the income after that will be much less.
This is mainly because the popularity of jigsaws hasn't completely subsided.
Now, however, the hype is waning.
It won't generate new buzz until a sequel is released.
With this $100 million, Cao Kun's financial situation improved significantly.
However, the materials he needed to cultivate were extremely expensive, and he spent large sums of money every day.
It's already March, and the tax filing deadline in mid-April is fast approaching.
Cao Kun has not yet paid his taxes.
He'd rather drag it out as long as possible. It's over $30 million; the daily interest alone would be substantial. He's not going to let the US IRS profit from it.
These two months of research into formations have not been in vain.
Now, within the Gathering Evil Land, there is not only the Seven Evil Gathering Array, but also the Reversed Yang to Yin Array and the Reverse Heavenly Cycle Array.
The Reversal of Yang to Yin Formation can instantly transform all the Yang energy in the formation into Yin energy.
Living people are included in this category as well.
In an instant, it can drain a person's yang energy.
What will happen?
A person will die immediately if they lose their yang energy.
The Reverse Zhou Tian Formation is rather complex.
In a broad sense, "Zhou Tian" refers to a complete revolution around the celestial sphere.
On a smaller scale, it refers to the surrounding environment and everything that operates in a special way.
For example, the human body, forests, and rivers.
Reversing the natural cycle of Qi is to forcibly reverse these processes, and the consequences are unimaginable.
In addition to these, Cao Kun also set up some defensive formations.
It's fair to say that this means we've now turned against the US government.
Unless, of course, the US government launches a high-powered missile and razes this place to the ground.
Otherwise, if we send people up, they'll all die.
