Chapter 221 Charlie's Angels
Reading Settings
Seeing that Cao Kun looked strange, Angelina asked, "What's wrong?"
Cao Kun: "The police are here."
Vinona asked, puzzled, "What are the police doing here? Are they here for us?"
Cao Kun: "It shouldn't be."
A few minutes later, the two women also heard the sound of police sirens.
They went to the window and looked outside.
Shortly after, two police cars passed by their farm and drove further in.
Cao Kun knew that his intuition last night was correct; someone must have died.
However, this was none of his business. He asked the two women, "Do you want to go back?"
Angelina: "Of course I do, I need to go back and catch up on my sleep."
The two women sat in the back of Cao Kun's pickup truck as it drove into the city.
As for their car and the mess here, someone will take care of it.
On his way back, Cao Kun stopped at a newsstand and bought a copy of The Hollywood Reporter.
He overturned yesterday's movie box office data.
Saw 2 immediately topped the daily box office with $12.8 million.
Cao Kun smiled.
Saw 2 was a huge hit, as expected.
The box office revenue in just one day recouped the initial investment.
What followed was pure profit.
Seeing the data above, both Winona and Angelina were filled with envy.
Cao Kun succeeded again.
Vinona's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Damn, I've kicked my kleptomania habit. But my career is still not improving. Do you have any ideas that can help me?"
Cao Kun put down the magazine and continued driving: "This is outside the scope of the transaction."
Viona: "Could you please stop calculating so precisely? I'm always available if you need anything in the future."
Cao Kun: "Well, I was the one who suffered a loss in the first place, okay?"
Viona: "Consider it something I owe you. I'll do anything you ask."
"That's more like it," Cao Kun asked. "Can you direct action movies?"
Winona: "Of course, I filmed Alien 4, which has a lot of action scenes."
Cao Kun then remembered this: "That's fine, your waist is quite flexible, you should be able to do it."
Viona asked curiously, "What kind of action movie do you want me to film?"
Cao Kun: "I heard that Columbia Pictures is planning to adapt 'Charlie's Angels' into a movie. You can try to get the role with the most screen time."
Oh, "Charlie's Angels" was translated as "Charlie's Angels" in China, and it tells the story of three beautiful and sexy female agents.
However, this series is adapted from a TV series.
"Three female leads?" Vinona was immediately displeased. "How can that be interesting?"
Cao Kun: Never mind what I said.
Viona immediately realized she had said the wrong thing.
Cao Kun gave her advice, and she's still doubting it.
If it were her, she would get angry too.
Vinona quickly said, "I was wrong, I'll contact Columbia as soon as I get back."
Cao Kun grunted in agreement.
There were two Charlie's Angels movies, and if they weren't profitable, there wouldn't be a sequel.
Years later, it was repurposed as an IP and a new version was made, although it flopped because it was so bad.
Later, two more American TV series were produced.
Saint Valley also released a special edition.
These are all clear evidence.
You know, if your movie isn't a hit, Saint Gu won't be trying to ride that wave of popularity.
To say that Charlie's Angels was a massive hit wouldn't be an exaggeration.
However, all three female leads reaped the benefits associated with the project.
In another world, they all became quite popular.
Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Liu Yulin all launched their careers with these two films.
Now, Winona's business is starting to decline and urgently needs to transform.
For a long time to come, action movies will dominate.
Winona's decision to become an action star was a very wise one.
Angelina also became interested: "Damn, you said there are three female leads, can I go too?"
This question stumped Cao Kun.
The film's budget was not high, less than $100 million.
If both Winona and Angelina go, the budget will have to increase.
If the box office doesn't increase accordingly, we won't make much money.
However, Winona and Angelina are now much more famous than Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore.
This will also allow the film to attract more attention.
In addition, there was the hype surrounding their second collaboration after "Girl, Interrupted".
Perhaps, this will truly allow the film to shine even more brightly.
If Cao Kun then gets Winona to win the Oscar for Best Actress.
Therefore, the collaboration between an Oscar-winning actress and an Oscar-winning supporting actress will attract a huge amount of attention.
At that time, the whole world will be abuzz and eagerly anticipate the film.
This will be more beneficial for the film's promotion.
With this in mind, the success of this movie is practically guaranteed.
Thinking about it this way, Cao Kun even considered investing some money in this movie.
Cao Kun asked Angelina, "Don't you have any new film contracts?"
Angelina: "I just finished filming 'Gone in 60 Seconds' and I'm currently working on an art film script, but I haven't decided whether to take it or not."
Cao Kun: "What kind of art film?"
Angelina: "Tentatively titled 'Original Sin,' it tells the story of a female con artist."
Cao Kun knew which movie it was as soon as he heard it.
He learned about Angelina Jolie's human anatomy through this movie.
Angelina Jolie put a lot of effort into this film, which was originally intended to win awards.
As a result, she didn't win any awards, but the world learned just how sexy her body was.
Of course, taking off her clothes was hardly a sacrifice for Angelina herself.
Cao Kun: "Haven't you been exposed to scripts for other action films?"
In Cao Kun's memory, Angelina Jolie was in the two years since she filmed "Tomb Raider," which marked her transition into an action actress.
Angelina: "No."
That means it's probably not time yet.
In that case...
Cao Kun: "Sure, you can also look into Charlie's Angels."
Angelina looked at Winona: "Bitch, we're going to work together again."
Viona pouted: "They might not even want you."
Angelina: "You should worry about yourself first. I could knock you out with one punch."
Vinona: "You can give it a try."
"Alright," Cao Kun said impatiently, "Didn't you two say you weren't going to fight anymore?"
The two women then stopped.
Cao Kun said, "After you go back, don't contact Colombia yet. Wait for me for a few days."
"What are you going to do?" the two women asked curiously.
Before Cao Kun could answer, they had already guessed the truth.
"You're going to invest in this movie?"
Cao Kun glared at the two of them: "Why did you suddenly become smart?"
Upon hearing Cao Kun's admission, Angelina's expression changed slightly once again.
Last year, she and Weinona even considered keeping Cao Kun as their sugar daddy.
As a result, in just a short time, Cao Kun became a well-known producer with a string of successes.
Their net worth has far exceeded that of them.
This makes their ideas from last year seem so ridiculous.
However, this also shows that Cao Kun is a man with real skills.
His judgment is impeccable.
Following him will definitely lead to the pinnacle of your career, reaching heights you could never have imagined before.
