Chapter 107 The Red Blanket Overturns, My Old Back Suffers
Reading Settings
The next morning at breakfast, Paul Boone appeared in the restaurant with huge dark circles under his eyes, a pale face, and his hands on his waist.
He seemed completely drained, looking indescribably exhausted, as if he had been with a ghost for days.
Patricia served him breakfast on her plate and then sat at the table, beckoning him repeatedly: "Come over here, darling."
Paul Boone immediately straightened his chest and walked over with a proud look on his face, like a general who had won a great victory.
When a few people whispered something to him, he immediately puffed out his chest even more.
Cao Kun immediately thought of Tom from "Tom and Jerry" and almost burst out laughing.
Rachel Weisz, carrying a tray, walked up to Cao Kun and politely asked, "May I sit down?"
After receiving permission, she sat down opposite Cao Kun.
She covered her mouth with her hand, yawned, and said, "Your medicine is too strong. I didn't sleep well at all last night."
I spent a long time putting on makeup this morning to cover my dark circles.
Cao Kun: "Don't talk nonsense, it will cause misunderstandings."
"What misunderstanding?" Rachel pondered for a moment, then seemed to realize what was going on and chuckled, "You must have done it on purpose, deliberately leading me in that direction. You're so mean."
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Cao Kun was staring intently at her face.
She couldn't help but touch her face: "Is my makeup not done well?"
Cao Kun: "No, it's just that your makeup today reminds me of tea from my motherland."
I've heard that people from your country Y also really enjoy drinking tea.
Rachel didn't know why Cao Kun suddenly brought up tea, but she followed the conversation and said, "Yes, we like to drink black tea. I've heard that your country has many kinds of tea."
Cao Kun: "That's right, I think you're especially suited to green tea."
"Really?" Rachel laughed. "I'll give it a try next time I have the chance."
After breakfast, everyone boarded the crew's bus and headed to the filming location.
Some people traveled in vans provided by the film crew.
Yes, even in foreign lands, some actors enjoy the luxury of being transported in chauffeured cars.
Moreover, these terms must be written directly into the contract, and the production team must abide by them, otherwise it would be a breach of contract.
Some big-name celebrities even bring their assistants to the set. The production team not only has to pay the celebrities' salaries, but also the assistants' salaries.
Even more outrageous, some celebrities bring their pets to the set, forcing the production crew to pay not only the actors but also their pets.
Everyone should recognize this celebrity; he's the famous Captain Jack Sparrow from the Caribbean.
Of course, he is not the only one.
These will all be included in the production costs.
This is one of the reasons why Hollywood production costs often reach tens of millions of dollars.
Some blockbusters start at hundreds of millions of dollars.
Because blockbuster movies often feature more big-name stars.
In this film crew, only the male and female leads had previously enjoyed the luxury nanny van treatment.
Now, there's one more—Cao Kun.
Although the role he played was only a minor one, no one felt that it was inappropriate.
At this moment, sitting in the van, besides Cao Kun and the driver, was Paul Boone.
Paul Boone leaned back in his second-row chair, half-asleep: "Master Cao Kun, you might not believe it, but last night I was incredibly valiant, I..."
“I heard you,” Cao Kun said calmly, cutting off Paul Boone’s next words.
Paul Boone doesn't feel embarrassed in front of others; on the contrary, he feels very proud.
But when facing Cao Kun, he asked apologetically, "Did I disturb your rest?"
"No." With Cao Kun's current level of cultivation, he could already block out external sounds on his own while cultivating.
For example, Cao Kun no longer cared about the noise from his previous dilapidated apartment.
What's so special about that little sound?
Paul Boone was about to say that was good when Cao Kun said, "Actually, your condition last night was because I drugged you."
"Huh?" Paul Boone was stunned. "Master Cao Kun, you drugged me? Really?"
Cao Kun: "Otherwise, why did you suddenly get better?"
Paul Boone wanted to say that he was already good at it, but then felt it was pointless to argue: "Master Cao Kun, what kind of drug did you give me?"
Cao Kun: "A mysterious and highly effective drug."
Paul Boone exclaimed excitedly, "This drug is amazing! It's much stronger than sildenafil tablets. Master Cao Kun, do you have any more?"
Cao Kun nodded, and a small bottle appeared in his hand: "This contains 10 grams. You only need to take 1 gram each time. I gave you a little too much yesterday."
As Paul Boone was about to take it, Cao Kun said, "$1,000 per bottle."
Paul Boone hesitated for a moment, but still took it.
Each bottle costs $1,000 and can be used 10 times, which means each use costs $100.
This is much more expensive than sildenafil, but it's also much more effective.
Paul Boone thinks it's worth it.
In particular, this thing can be given as a gift.
He believed that no man would dislike giving gifts to clients or superiors.
Paul Boone initially wanted to buy more immediately, but then he thought, what if Cao Kun was lying?
What if I really did perform normally last night?
Is it because you are exceptionally talented, but you just haven't been able to unleash your full potential before?
Wouldn't that make me a sucker?
This isn't spending company money, it's spending my own money.
Paul Boone decided to play it safe and buy this one bottle first, then try it out that night.
After writing a check for $1,000 to Cao Kun, Paul Boone suddenly remembered something: "Master Cao Kun, you haven't signed an actor contract with us yet, have you?"
“No.” Cao Kun put away the check. “If I had signed the contract before coming back, your bodies would be cold by now. Besides, you never mentioned that you wanted me to continue acting.”
Paul Boone smiled and said, "Master Cao Kun, have your agent go to our company and sign an actor contract on your behalf."
Cao Kun: "I don't have an agent."
Paul Boone asked in surprise, "Didn't you act before?"
Cao Kun: "I fired my agent."
Paul Boone said somewhat awkwardly, "According to the law, actors must have an agent when they sign a contract."
"Master Cao Kun, how about I recommend one to you?"
Cao Kun: "No need, I'll ask someone later. Anyway, it's still a long way from when it's my turn to film."
Actually, it's not that it's still early; it's that Cao Kun doesn't have any scenes today.
However, filming in Hollywood is just like going to work; there are set times for starting and finishing get off work.
Even if you don't have any scenes, you still have to stay on set, because that's called going to work.
Besides, he's a security consultant, so he can't just not come.
Before long, the car arrived at the film set, and everyone got out and started working.
Cao Kun walked to the side and made an international call to Angelina.
