After two months, "The Blair Witch Project" has finished its run in most countries around the world.
Only a few countries are still struggling to earn some meager box office revenue.
At this point, The Blair Witch Project had grossed $358 million worldwide.
This box office performance completely exceeded Universal's most optimistic estimates.
This is just online; a large amount of revenue awaits them offline.
Without a doubt, this will be Universal's most profitable film of the year.
Not only was Universal itself surprised, but the entire Hollywood community was also taken aback that such a poorly made mockumentary could make so much money.
This isn't making money; this is practically robbing people with sacks of cash.
For this, both Paul Boone and Sivis will receive a large bonus.
Sivis's position in the global arena will be further solidified.
Universal is already considering making him their next CEO.
Sivis was naturally pleased to have benefited.
However, he knew even better how this movie came about.
He began to value Cao Kun's cinematic talent even more.
If The Blair Witch Project succeeds, then Saw's position will be even more secure.
As a result, the promotional efforts for "Saw" increased significantly, overshadowing all other upcoming horror films.
As many people know, a horror movie will be released during the Halloween season.
Many horror movie enthusiasts have already locked in this movie and are just waiting for its release.
…………
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, more than a month has passed, and the final filming of "The Mummy" has been completed.
After a wild party, the crew returned to Los Angeles the next day.
"Master Cao Kun, we are so grateful to you this time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
In the parking lot, Paul Boone, Gil Shaw, and Steven Sommers shook hands with Cao Kun one by one to say goodbye.
When shaking hands with Stefan, Cao Kun said, "Remember what I told you."
Stefan nodded solemnly: "I haven't forgotten."
Then he added, "Master Cao Kun, could you sell me a little more of that medicine?"
During this time, rumors about Cao Kun having a mysterious and effective medicine had already spread throughout the entire film crew.
Many people have sought to purchase from Cao Kun.
Although it's very expensive, at $100 per gram, and a small bottle of 10 grams costs $1,000, the effects are truly amazing, unlike anything they've ever seen in their lives.
All other medicines are utterly worthless compared to this one.
More importantly, there are no side effects.
Of course, it's unavoidable that one's spirit and energy will be affected.
“Okay.” Cao Kun waved his hand, and dozens of small bottles appeared in his hand.
Immediately, the eyes of Stephen Curry, Paul Boone, Gil Shaw, Brandon, and others lit up.
Soon, the dozens of bottles of medicine were all gone.
Cao Kun also had a stack of checks in his hand.
At $100 a gram, it doesn't seem expensive.
But this stuff is, after all, a one-time effect.
Similar medications already exist, although they are not as effective as mummy powder, they can still be used.
Moreover, those hundreds of mummified corpses weighed a full two or three tons.
If converted to grams, that's several million grams.
At $100 a gram, it could sell for hundreds of millions of dollars.
…………
Afterwards, Cao Kun bid farewell to the lead actors.
"Master Cao Kun, remember to keep in touch. You have my number." Rachel Weisz smiled, looking every bit the sophisticated beauty.
But as he said this, his fingers subtly twitched in Cao Kun's palm.
Cao Kun seemed oblivious: "Yes, it will."
After saying that, he pulled a suitcase and walked towards a pickup truck.
That was the holy son of the mountain who came to pick him up.
After placing the box in the cargo bed, Cao Kun got into the passenger seat, and the car quickly drove away.
Rachel Weitzman's gaze lingered on Cao Kun's pickup truck as it drove away.
She thought to herself, "I heard that Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie have become more and more beautiful and younger after working with Master Cao Kun."
"Rumors are circulating that they slept with Master Cao Kun."
"At first, I didn't believe it, but he easily dealt with such powerful ghosts, so now it seems that it is probably true."
"Unfortunately, this guy just won't take the bait."
"Am I really that unattractive?"
Thinking of this, Rachel felt a surge of resentment.
“Rachel, stop looking,” Brandon Fisher reminded her from the side. “He doesn’t seem to like your type.”
Brandon isn't blind; during this time, he made several overtures to Rachel, only to be politely declined each time.
However, despite Rachel's repeated attempts to curry favor with Master Cao Kun, he pretended not to understand.
This made Brandon feel both jealous and secretly pleased.
I made you look down on me, and now you're looking down on by others too.
Rachel turned around, her face full of a charming smile: "Brandon, you should drink less, or you'll ruin your brain."
After saying that, Rachel got into the car that had come to pick her up.
Brandon rubbed his stomach, thinking, "So he hates it when I drink?"
"Should you give up drinking for her sake?"
The idea only lingered in his mind for a few seconds before he forgot about it.
"With so many women in Hollywood, it would be foolish to give up the whole forest for one tree. I'm not going to be a foolish man."
Brandon turned to the director: "Stefan, let's have a drink tonight, just in time to use Master Cao Kun's special medicine."
Steven sighed, "I'm not as free as you. Your work is finished, but I still have a lot to do. I have to go over post-production tomorrow."
…………
The pickup truck drove smoothly on the road.
Seiko Yamashita glanced at the rearview mirror and asked expectantly, "Master, you didn't take any luggage when you left. Were those souvenirs you bought in Egypt?"
Cao Kun: "No."
"Oh." Seiko Yamashita was somewhat disappointed, but dared not say so.
Cao Kun: "Let's go to Chinatown first."
"Understood," Yamashita Seiko replied.
Forty minutes later, Cao Kun appeared at Qin Guangping's grocery store in Chinatown.
"Brother, you're here." As soon as he saw Cao Kun, Qin Guangping immediately put down what he was doing and came over to greet him with a smile.
Cao Kun: "Has my order arrived?"
While in Egypt, Cao Kun called Qin Guangping and ordered a batch of materials in advance.
"We're here, we're here." Qin Guangping took a styrofoam box from under the counter. "Brother, come and see, is this what we have?"
Watching Cao Kun open the box and inspect it, Qin Guangping couldn't help but say, "Brother, the things you're asking for are getting more and more obscure. I had to ask a lot of people to find this for you in China."
Cao Kun closed the box: "Just tell me how much it costs."
Qin Guangping: "Not much, just $100,000."
