Cao Kun returned to Los Angeles at around 4 a.m. the next day.
Cao Kun drove directly to Lawrence's house.
His pickup truck was still parked there, so naturally he had to go and exchange it for another one.
The sound of the car engine may have woken the people inside.
The lights came on inside, and a figure appeared at the second-floor window, looking down.
"Lawrence, is that you who's back?"
"Perhaps she recognized the car," Lawrence's wife asked from upstairs.
Before Cao Kun could answer, she quickly left the window and went downstairs.
Soon, the door opened, and Lawrence's wife, Ellen, appeared in the doorway wearing a silk nightgown.
Her cool and refreshing outfit revealed her mature and sexy figure, and coupled with her loose hair and beautiful face, she was quite charming.
Seeing that Cao Kun was the only one in the car, she was taken aback: "Lawrence didn't come back?"
Cao Kun looked at her with a half-smile: "No need to pretend, I don't believe Lawrence didn't call you."
Allen burst out laughing. She tossed her hair and looked at Cao Kun with a smile: "Master Cao Kun, you must be tired after driving for so long. Come in and have a cup of coffee."
Cao Kun: "Drinking coffee at this time is not a good habit."
"It's okay if we don't want coffee, we can do something else."
Allen licked his lips and slipped one of the shoulder straps off.
Cao Kun: "You want me to help you kill Lawrence and his daughter? So you can take over Lawrence's fortune?"
Seeing that Cao Kun didn't come in, Allen had no choice but to whisper, "I'm not that ruthless. As long as you let Lawrence die without me knowing, I can get a share of the inheritance."
I believe you have the ability.
Cao Kun: "What benefits would I get?"
Allen: "A part of the legacy, and me."
Cao Kun: "You're really dreaming. You got the inheritance and now you want to sleep with me."
Allen's face darkened immediately, but he quickly forced a smile: "Then I can give you more."
"I'll consider it."
After saying that, Cao Kun tossed her the car keys, got into his pickup truck, and drove off.
Allen watched Cao Kun leave, biting his lip without reacting for a long time.
Suddenly a night breeze blew by, and Allen felt a chill, which made her shiver.
She then turned and went back into the house, her brows still furrowed.
She couldn't understand whether Cao Kun had agreed or not.
…………
"Lawrence's days ahead are probably going to be tough."
"None of these women are easy to deal with."
Cao Kun shook his head.
To be honest, he was a little tempted just now.
However, Allen's words sounded nice.
Killing Lawrence would suffice, but human greed is uncontrollable.
Once she receives one portion of the inheritance, she will try to kill Linda in order to obtain the other portion.
At that time, will Cao Kun take action again?
Moreover, Ellen, you could say she's scheming, and she certainly is.
But he's too shallow; he dared to reveal such a big plan after only meeting her twice.
It will be difficult for him not to reveal his weakness later, and he will surely betray Cao Kun in no time.
Cao Kun would then be wanted by the US government.
Cao Kun doesn't want to directly break ties with the US government right now.
We must not let small gains lead to big losses.
Some might say, "We can just kill Allen too, to silence him."
But Lawrence's money wasn't cash.
It's not something you can get just by killing someone.
You need a legitimate identity to withdraw it.
Of course, if he really wanted to do it, Cao Kun had other ways.
But that's too much trouble.
With that kind of energy, he could have earned the money back himself by relying on the information he had in advance.
Therefore, some things are not impossible to do.
But you can't work with just anyone.
You must cooperate with reliable people.
As the pickup truck drove along the road, a red sun suddenly peeked over the horizon.
Cao Kun parked his car on the side of the road and enjoyed the sunrise for a while, watching the red sun rise little by little.
Cao Kun smiled, shifted gears, and accelerated, the pickup truck heading towards the rising sun.
…………
Three days later.
A movie screening is being held in a Universal Studios movie theater.
To Cao Kun's left was Sivis, and to his right sat Clark, a man with a muscular physique.
According to James Wan, Clark would lift weights whenever he had a spare moment during breaks in filming.
Clark brought dumbbells to work.
On set, many people were somewhat afraid of Clark.
Including James Wan.
Cao Kun sometimes wonders with a wicked sense of humor what would happen if James Wendell Clark were paired up.
These two crazy horror enthusiasts, one who likes to study corpses and the other whose mind is full of terrifying ideas, who knows what kind of sparks they will create?
The film ended as Cao Kun drifted off into his own thoughts.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Compared to the screening organized by Sivis for "Saw 1", this screening was much larger in scale.
Moreover, those who came were all cinema managers, and their positions were much higher.
After all, this is the sequel to "Saw," which created a box office miracle.
The sequels to blockbuster movies usually receive much better treatment than the first film.
Actually, compared to the brilliance and plot twists of the first film, Saw 2 is rather mediocre.
However, the second installment features more explicit scenes, more killings, more gore, more exciting moments, and a relatively more complex story.
There are more interesting things to see.
Overall, this is a fairly competent horror film.
With the popularity of Jigsaw, this movie won't have to worry about selling.
The applause lasted for several minutes before gradually subsiding, which made Clark quite excited.
Sivis shook hands with Cao Kun: "Master Cao Kun, congratulations, you have made another great movie."
Cao Kun pointed at Clark: "The credit belongs to her; Clark is the director."
Sivis shook hands with Clark again: "I heard that you have worked with Universal before."
“Yes, Mr. Sevis.” Facing an industry giant like Sevis, Clark dared not be as casual as Cao Kun.
Sivis sighed, "It seems that Master Cao Kun is better at recognizing talent than I am. I regret not discovering your talent sooner."
If the opportunity arises, we could collaborate with Universal.
Cao Kun: "Sevis, it's not right to poach someone from me in front of me."
Sivis laughed and said, "You're a film company, not a talent agency. Business collaborations are normal."
Cao Kun knew, of course, that he was just saying that on purpose to give Clark some face.
"Now we can talk about the issuance costs."
It's definitely impossible to achieve the 30% figure from the previous installment.
The majority of the box office revenue from "Saw 1" went to theaters and Universal Pictures.
Cao Kun only received tens of millions of US dollars, and he ended up using almost all of it to pay bail.
Now, if Global is unwilling to issue shares, there are plenty of other companies that are willing to, which will significantly reduce issuance costs.
Sivis: "Of course, Universal will definitely show sincerity, how about 28%?"
Cao Kun: "Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?"
