Paul Boone, a classic producer for Universal Pictures.
In other words, ask him to deal with that guy who's the Blair Witch Project.
Cao Kun answered: "Paul, is there something wrong with 'The Blair Witch Project'?"
“No.” Paul Boone said in a light tone, “The Blair Witch Project is progressing very well, and we’ve even finalized the publicity plan.”
It will officially begin soon.
Cao Kun: "So you've encountered another paranormal event?"
Paul Boone laughed and said, "Master Cao Kun, you seem to have forgotten your other identity. We would like to invite you to act in a movie."
"Which male lead?" Cao Kun asked directly.
“Uh…” Paul Boone was a little embarrassed: “This role doesn’t have many scenes, it’s not even a big deal.”
Cao Kun: "Never mind then, I don't have time."
“Wait, Master Cao Kun.” Seeing that Cao Kun was about to hang up, Paul Boone quickly called out, “It’s not just filming, there’s something else.”
Cao Kun: "What is it?"
Paul Boone: "This is a bit complicated. Can we talk about it in person?"
Having already made money off them, Cao Kun thought for a moment and asked, "When?"
Paul Boone was delighted when Cao Kun agreed, saying, "Today or tomorrow is fine."
Cao Kun: "I have something to do today. Tomorrow at 10 a.m., it's the same coffee shop as last time."
After agreeing, Cao Kun hung up the phone.
He went to Chinatown and picked up the goods.
Then he asked the boss to drive to a large, deserted open space.
Just as he was about to burn it, Cao Kun suddenly remembered something.
He doesn't even know the guy's name, so how can he burn it?
After thinking for a moment, Cao Kun came up with a solution.
He referred to himself as "Kenny's boss." As for whether he could receive them, and whether these things would be recognized in the Western underworld afterward, that depended on his own fate.
Anyway, after the fire was burned, Cao Kun had fulfilled his promise to the other party.
The next morning at 10 a.m., Cao Kun saw Paul Boone again in the coffee shop.
Accompanying him was a middle-aged white man in his forties.
This man had short hair, wore a professional suit, and was meticulous in his work, with a shrewd look in his eyes. He looked like he had just come from Wall Street.
Upon seeing Cao Kun, the other party smiled, stood up, and shook hands with Cao Kun, saying, "Master Cao Kun, we finally meet."
Last time, you made us lose millions.
Cao Kun paused for a moment, then guessed the man's identity: "You're from Allianz Insurance, you called me last time?"
The other party admitted, "Yes, Master Cao Kun's noble character makes me feel ashamed."
At this moment, Paul Boone also shook hands with Cao Kun: "Master Cao Kun, I only recently learned about this. I admire your character."
As he spoke, he introduced Cao Kun to the person from Allianz Insurance.
This person is a senior executive at Allianz Insurance, named Jill Shaw.
Allianz is the largest insurance company in Hollywood.
The six major Hollywood studios all have deep business dealings with them, which shows their considerable financial resources.
The two had recently been plotting against each other.
Now, they are sitting at the same table again, drinking coffee and chatting happily, as if those things from before were not worth mentioning at all.
It is said that there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests, and these two people have demonstrated this point very vividly.
This made Cao Kun admire him; when it came to shamelessness, Ryan Reynolds was just a junior compared to these people.
After ordering the coffee, Cao Kun looked at the two of them, his gaze falling on Paul Boone: "Is the other thing you mentioned yesterday related to him?"
Paul Boone: "That's right, Gil, you tell us."
Jill Shaw smiled and explained to Cao Kun, "We just collaborated with Universal on a new film, a fantasy and horror movie."
Last time, The Blair Witch Project cost us a lot of money.
To prevent such incidents from happening again, we would like to invite Master Cao Kun to serve as the film crew's safety consultant.
Paul Boone chimed in, "Perfect timing! The film needs an Asian character, so Master Cao Kun can earn two salaries at once."
Cao Kun was somewhat stunned.
Is this even possible?
He works as both an actor and a security consultant.
The person who came up with this idea is a genius.
However, Cao Kun was more concerned about something else: "What is this movie about?"
Since it's a horror movie, it might reflect reality.
If it's something original to this world that he hasn't heard of before, that's fine.
However, if it's a horror movie set in another world, the probability of it becoming a reality is over 90%.
This can be seen in the previous example, The Blair Witch Project.
If you asked someone else, Paul Boone certainly wouldn't reveal anything about the movie.
But when facing Cao Kun, he gave a very detailed introduction.
Paul Boone then introduced the story: "About three thousand years ago, Ansunam, the concubine of the Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, had an affair with the Pharaoh's high priest, which was discovered by the Pharaoh during a secret rendezvous."
Ansunam ambushed and killed the enraged Pharaoh, but knowing she couldn't escape punishment, she committed suicide.
Sure enough, the high priest was soon captured by the Pharaoh's guards, who subjected him to cruel torture and curses, turning him into a mummy.
Years later, two historians stumbled upon a mysterious box that pointed to the location of Hamunaptra, the city of the dead.
Legend has it that Hamunaptra was the tomb of the pharaoh, containing countless treasures…
Before Paul Boone could finish speaking, Cao Kun already knew what movie it was.
"mummy".
It really was a movie from another world that he was very familiar with.
This is indeed a fantasy and horror film.
In terms of plot and special effects, this movie, released in 1999, is not bad.
Of course, that's from the perspective of foreigners.
For Egyptians, seeing others write such nonsense about their country would likely infuriate them.
The Mummy 3 is the best example.
They brought out Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of all time, and made up a bunch of nonsense.
After the movie was released, people in China cursed it out, and its reputation plummeted.
But will such movies become reality?
Cao Kun was actually a little unsure.
The main villain, the priest, seems to be quite powerful.
If this were to happen in reality, he might not be able to handle it.
Moreover, another point is...
If The Mummy 1 becomes a reality, will The Mummy 2 and The Mummy 3 also become reality?
That's a bit far-fetched.
After giving a brief overview of the plot, Paul Boone said, "That's about it. Master Cao Kun, what do you think of this movie?"
Cao Kun: "I'm an outsider, don't ask me."
Paul Boone laughed and said, "Master Cao Kun is too modest. If you say that someone is an amateur when they come up with such a brilliant idea as a mockumentary, then there are no experts in Hollywood."
Cao Kun stopped arguing about laymen and experts and said, "Have you ever thought that the reason why 'The Blair Witch Project' had problems last time was because witches actually existed?"
What you're making now is just a fictional movie; although it has horror elements, it doesn't have a real prototype.
The probability of a paranormal event occurring is still very low.
