Sivis was filled with helplessness, but his tone was extremely sincere: "Master Cao Kun, we will definitely be able to create a miracle again."
Cao Kun said confidently, "You will see."
Thus, the Fast and Furious franchise eventually became associated with Universal Pictures.
However, this time, they only have the distribution rights, not the copyright.
The following day, Cao Kun signed a distribution contract with Shuangqiu in the presence of both parties' lawyers.
As she left, lawyer Mia looked at Cao Kun with an extremely complicated expression.
This delay allowed Cao Kun to gain an extra 2.5 percentage points, putting him in a good mood. He even joked with Mia, saying, "Why are you looking at me like that? We're not a good match."
Mia didn't respond, but said earnestly, "I just want to say thank you."
Cao Kun: Are you alright?
Mia sighed, "When I first met you, you didn't even know how to register a company."
Even the funding for filming "Saw 1" was very tight.
You've achieved so much in such a short time.
He not only became a well-known producer and a billionaire, but also a leading man, and even had the six major Hollywood studios vying to work with him.
In Hollywood, 99.9% of people will never achieve what you have in their entire lives.
And you, you only took a year.
Cao Kun: "These are my achievements, why are you thanking me?"
Mia: "I used to be Nicole Kidman's lawyer. I thought I could become a famous lawyer in Hollywood through her."
As a result, after she got married, her lawyer changed to Tom Cruz.
I thought I would lose this opportunity forever, but because of you, I have hope again.
No, it's not just that there's hope. Right now, many people have become my clients because of you.
Cao Kun suddenly realized, "So that's why."
This is the celebrity effect.
Mia added, "As you become more and more successful, my fame will also grow. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely be your mistress."
Cao Kun coughed and said, "You're more than ten years younger, but you don't have the business skills you have now."
Mia smiled and said, "That's true."
After watching Mia's car drive away, Cao Kun made a phone call to Seiko Yamashita: "Has the revenue share from Global arrived yet?"
Seiko Yamashita: "Just received it. So far, we have received a total of over $33.56 million in box office revenue from 'Saw 2'."
According to the contract, Cao Kun can receive about 25% of the profits this time.
$320 million is more than 80 million.
However, as I said before, the profit sharing is done in installments.
Especially overseas, revenue sharing is even slower.
Sometimes, quite a few cases end up in court.
More than $80 million, that's a lot.
However, last time Cao Kun handled a commission for Liv Taylor's "Palpit" film, he earned more than $30 million.
In comparison, making movies is not a fast way to make money.
This is still him; he knew a lot of information in advance.
Replacing it with someone else would involve a huge risk.
Many people lost everything as a result.
But commissioning someone requires a chance encounter, while a film can take the initiative, which is different.
Just then, Cao Kun invested in "Charlie's Angels" and spent almost all of his money.
This $30 million or so can be considered as a relief to his apparent financial crisis.
As for the money behind the scenes, with Hunter Lee as his financial backer, things will be much easier for him.
Two days later, late at night.
Cao Kun received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Cao Kun's face lit up with joy as he retrieved the earthenware jar that had been buried 99 days earlier.
His spiritual senses detected a life force still within the jar.
Cao Kun carefully lifted the lid and saw that all the other poisonous creatures inside were gone; what remained was a scorpion.
This scorpion was a size larger than before, and its entire body had turned a blackish-iron color, with a metallic gleam on its stinger.
However, at this moment, it was somewhat listless, as if it were about to die.
Only Cao Kun knew that this was merely its appearance.
He could sense that the scorpion's spiritual power and aura were exceptionally strong.
It is even more powerful than the previous 120 poisonous creatures combined.
At the same time, it also possesses a unique charm.
This is the change that occurs after absorbing the life force and yang energy of countless people.
This thing is deliberately pretending to be weak, but in reality, it's looking for an opportunity to attack him and escape.
Sure enough, the next moment, the scorpion suddenly sprang up and shot towards the mouth of the jar, heading straight for Cao Kun's face.
If an ordinary person were stung by its tail hook, it would likely turn into a cold corpse in just a few minutes.
Unfortunately, Cao Kun was no ordinary person.
With a wave of his hand, Cao Kun caused a layer of purple light to appear at the mouth of the jar, which sent the iron-black scorpion flying back.
Cao Kun put the lid on, in a great mood.
The first step of the Golden Silkworm Gu technique has been successful.
Back at the Gathering Place, Cao Kun took out the materials he had prepared beforehand.
These materials were also obtained by Qin Guangping through intermediaries, and they were extremely expensive.
It is dozens of times more expensive than ordinary materials for refining poison.
There were a few medicinal herbs that took several months to find.
Cao Kun had been preparing for this day for a long time.
The steps for refining the Golden Silkworm Gu are actually quite similar to those for ordinary Gu.
However, the methods used are somewhat different.
Then, there is an additional unique step that other poisons do not have.
After turning the materials into mud, Cao Kun also mixed his own blood into it.
To refine ordinary Gu worms, only a few drops of fresh blood are needed.
The Golden Silkworm Gu won't work; you need at least three lamps for the first time.
From now on, one lamp will be needed every day.
Of course, if it's not your natal Gu, you don't need so many.
However, the Golden Silkworm Gu is rare, and it is seldom used as a natal Gu.
This alone shows how difficult it is to refine the Golden Silkworm Gu.
An ordinary person would bleed to death every day.
Through the power of ancient shamanic language, these materials and Cao Kun's blood fused together to create a unique secret ingredient.
Cao Kun opened the jar and threw some into the earthenware pot, but the scorpion showed no interest in eating it.
After absorbing a large amount of human life force and yang energy, this scorpion has become aware of danger.
It seemed to know that eating these things would have adverse consequences for it.
Even though I was very hungry, I still forced myself not to eat the bloody mud.
At this point, you either wait.
When the Gu embryo becomes unbearably hungry, it will eat the blood mud.
Alternatively, we can intervene manually.
Cao Kun didn't want to wait any longer. He moved his lips slightly, and the ancient shamanic language rang out again.
However, this time the ancient shamanic language was somewhat different from what he had recited before.
Cao Kun's voice entered the jar, and the Gu embryo inside began to become restless.
Its eyes gradually turned blood red.
The next moment, it pounced on the lump of bloody mud and began to eat silently.
Cao Kun's voice only stopped after it had finished eating the entire lump of bloody mud.
Then, Cao Kun swelled his abdomen and emitted a Gu-like sound.
Under the influence of the Gu sound, the Gu embryo inside the jar kept hitting the pottery jar, producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.
Cao Kun stopped after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
He lifted the lid and looked inside. The scorpion's aura seemed even stronger, and it exuded a murderous aura.
It seems to want to turn the human outside the jar into minced meat and eat him.
