Cao Kun was taken aback; this didn't seem like something Charitz would do.
It would be more like it were Sofia or Angelina.
Cao Kun's curiosity was piqued, so he took the key, went upstairs, and opened the door to the second room.
Upon seeing what was inside, Cao Kun understood what Charlize meant by "more than one".
This room is full of videotapes.
However, the videotape covers were full of all sorts of learning materials.
There are Sacred Valley, Japanese, and European ones.
The videotapes were already large in size, and there were so many of them that they piled up to form several walls.
“I said more than one, didn’t I?” Chariz caught up and said to Cao Kun.
Cao Kun glared at her: "What do you want to do?"
Charlize: "I want you to study with me."
Cao Kun: "Can you learn all of this?"
Chariz smiled and said, "If you can't learn it all at once, you can learn it slowly. Let's start now."
The next day at noon, after having lunch delivered by the restaurant, Cao Kun said goodbye and left.
As for the study materials, they remain in that room, untouched.
Therefore, Cao Kun's New Year's gift to Charlize this year was a dustproof array.
With this dust-proof array, Charlize's house will no longer be covered in dust.
She no longer needed to hire a cleaning service, and the items in that room were less likely to be exposed.
Otherwise, if the paparazzi found out that Charlize had a whole house full of study materials, it's hard to imagine how much of a stir that would cause.
Not only has Charlize's public image completely collapsed, but his professional career will likely suffer a huge blow as well.
As soon as the New Year holiday ended, Cao Kun received many job offers, but he rejected them all.
He can refuse others, but he can't refuse what's on his own side.
He has been overseeing the scriptwriting for "Fast & Furious 2".
The original "Fast & Furious 2" was a one-man show by Brian.
He said that after letting Tang escape, he also lost his identity as a policeman.
But by a twist of fate, he became an undercover agent helping the Los Angeles Police Department.
In the end, of course, Brian successfully solved the case and became a police officer again.
While this film did reasonably well at the box office, grossing over $200 million, it didn't receive much critical acclaim.
The third installment was even worse; the male and female leads were completely replaced, and the global box office was only a little over $100 million, almost ruining the IP.
Cao Kun ultimately decided to cut the second and third parts of the original version.
They directly took the original fourth part and adapted it into the second part.
However, because this involved adaptation, although Cao Kun gave a general outline of the plot, the script was still written rather slowly.
However, several months have passed, and it's almost time now.
The scriptwriting work for "Saw IV" and "The Bourne Identity" is also ongoing.
He no longer needs to worry about "Saw".
There's no rush to release "The Bourne Identity 2," after all, given the current climate, it's not a suitable time for the film to be released.
Unless, of course, it happens in July.
But this was too rushed; he also had to film Tomb Raider, so he simply didn't have time.
Ring ring...
That day, Cao Kun's phone rang again.
He's gotten used to it; these past few days, he's been getting calls from unfamiliar numbers all the time.
As his fame grew, more and more people learned about his phone number through various channels.
"Excuse me, are you Master Cao Kun?" a female voice asked.
Upon hearing this, Cao Kun knew that this person was probably not there to discuss movies.
"I am Cao Kun."
"Master Cao Kun, please help my child." The woman's voice was filled with anxiety.
Cao Kun: "What's wrong with your child?"
The woman said, "My child has fallen into a coma and can't be woken up no matter what I do."
"What exactly happened?"
Cao Kun didn't say anything stupid like sending him to the hospital.
If that's the case, they wouldn't be looking for an exorcist who charges $1 million per appearance.
Woman: "Some people say that my child's soul has left his body and he can't find his way back."
"Out-of-body experience?"
Cao Kun was astonished. Could a child's soul leave their body?
Woman: "Yes, Master Cao Kun, can you help him?"
Cao Kun: "I charge very high fees."
Woman: "I have 2 million in savings, and I'm willing to give it all to you."
2 million?
Cao Kun felt the price was a bit low.
But he was very interested in children's out-of-body experiences.
Cao Kun thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay."
Nearly an hour later, Cao Kun appeared inside a villa.
He saw the woman who had called him.
The other person claimed to be named Lana, in her thirties, and quite pretty.
At this moment, she was holding a baby girl who couldn't walk yet, and feeding her the prepared formula.
According to Lana, this is her youngest daughter.
"Master Cao Kun, please wait for me a moment," Lana said apologetically to Cao Kun.
Cao Kun nodded and looked around the house.
As soon as he arrived outside the villa, he noticed that it was different from other villas.
The house has a heavy yin energy, like dark clouds covering the top.
In this situation, either the house is full of ghosts.
Or perhaps there's a very powerful ghost.
Or, both.
Once inside the house, the temperature was noticeably lower than outside.
He probed with his spiritual sense and sensed several auras that did not belong to humans.
There are quite a few problems with this house.
However, he just checked the location of the house and there were no feng shui problems.
There must be a reason for this.
Soon, Lana finished feeding the baby and began to place the baby girl on her shoulder to burp her.
Normally, this is something the nanny does, but after the incident in her family, the nanny didn't dare to continue and resigned.
Cao Kun asked, "Where is your husband?"
Lana: "My husband went to work."
Cao Kun: "Going to work at this hour?"
“He can’t help much even if he stays at home,” Lana said as she led the way. “Master Cao Kun, this way please.”
Lana led Cao Kun to a room on the second floor, where Cao Kun saw a little boy who had fallen unconscious.
He has an IV drip in his hand.
That's a nutrient solution to maintain the body's basic functions.
Otherwise, he would starve to death.
With just one glance, Cao Kun was certain that what Lana said was true.
The little boy's soul was not in his body; his soul had actually left his body.
However, his bodily functions are normal and still operating.
But this only allows it to function normally for a short period of time. In the long run, without a soul, the body will also die.
In the darkness of the room, longing eyes were fixed on the little boy's body, as if they wanted to take advantage of his vulnerability.
Cao Kun glanced at the people staring at him, then at the unconscious boy, and suddenly remembered a movie.
By the way, this woman's name is Lana.
Cao Kun asked, "What's your eldest son's name?"
Lana: "Dalton."
It matches up.
This is indeed "Lurking".
In another world, James Wan, after experiencing Dead Silence and Unlawful Justice, made a comeback with the low-budget horror film Insidious, which cost only $1.5 million.
Now, it has become a reality.
This piqued Cao Kun's interest.
