While in Hollywood, I used Taoist magic to quell American terrorism.

Anne-Hathaway had only taken a few steps when she turned back and showered Cao Kun with kisses again.

Cao Kun: That's enough.

Anne Hathaway kissed Cao Kun for several more minutes before finally letting go and walking towards the car at the door.

There, her agent, Molly, was already waiting for her.

However, she would still turn around from time to time and wave to Cao Kun.

Although Anne-Heather has passed away, she still receives messages and calls from time to time.

He seems to be very dependent on Cao Kun.

"Master, Will Smith actually spoke ill of you to Miss Anne."

The succubus, clutching Cao Kun's phone, read Anne-Hathaway's text message, appearing somewhat indignant.

Cao Kun: "Oh? What bad things did he say about me?"

Succubus: "He said you're not good enough for Miss Anne and told her to break up with you."

Cao Kun was speechless.

Now, damn it, it's clearly Annie who's clinging to him.

Will, too, can't tell the difference between king and queen.

Moreover, they are extremely stingy.

So what if I didn't try to curry favor with you? You're holding a grudge.

Since that's the case, Cao Kun won't hold back.

Cao Kun: "Chris (the succubus's name), help me find a script for 'Hancock,' which is a story about an alien superhero."

Look at this script, where is it now?

"Yes, Master."

Chris's alluring voice rang out, a pink light flashed on the phone screen, and then there was silence.

But Chris quickly replied, "Master, this script has been wandering in Hollywood for seven years, and no one has shown any interest in it."

It's still in the hands of screenwriter Vincent.

Cao Kun nodded.

This matches the information he remembered.

The script for "Hancock" is literally translated as "Hancock".

"All People" is a domestic translation, an additional label added based on the success of "Public Enemy" and "Rival in Love".

Just like that actor who's good at rescues.

The movies that were made after that were all about rescue operations.

The popular superhero image today is still the kind that is all-powerful, righteous, and full of bitterness and hatred.

The Superman in "Hancock" is completely different from the mainstream image.

Naturally, no company would be willing to buy a script featuring such a superhero character.

Cao Kun: "Contact Vincent and express your intention to purchase."

The succubus cautioned, "Master, according to current mainstream market analysis, this script doesn't have much commercial value."

Cao Kun chuckled, "You even understand the film market?"

Succubus: "I don't understand, but I can analyze it."

Cao Kun: "Don't worry about it, just send out an expression of intent to buy."

"Yes, Master."

Since Cao Kun had already said that, the succubus naturally wouldn't say anything more.

The succubus quickly replied, "Alright, Master."

Cao Kun: "Next, you hack into Chris Gardner's personal computer and see if his autobiography, 'The Pursuit of Happyness,' has been written yet?"

The succubus responded.

Less than a minute later, the succubus's voice rang out again: "Master, there is no document about 'The Pursuit of Happyness' on Gardner's computer."

However, I controlled the microphones on his computer and phone and overheard his conversation with his wife, during which they discussed his biography.

He probably wrote it by hand, not on a computer.

Cao Kun nodded.

Chris Gaddafi, who is not very educated and is in his fifties, doesn't know how to use a computer, which is normal.

His use of handwriting also suited the people of his time.

Cao Kun: "Send him an email expressing your intention to buy."

The phone flashed twice, and the succubus said, "Alright, Master. May I ask a question? Did you buy his biography because you want it made into a movie?"

Cao Kun: "Otherwise what?"

The succubus was puzzled: "But what's so interesting about making a biography of a black man? He's not even that famous."

Cao Kun found it somewhat amusing.

Even a succubus would look down on a black man.

Cao Kun: "Just wait and see."

That afternoon, Vincent was the first to respond, arranging a meeting with Cao Kun.

Cao Kun met him at a coffee shop.

Vincent is in his forties.

She is also a screenwriter who has already suffered setbacks in Hollywood.

However, only one film, "Hostage," directed by Chris Oh, is somewhat well-known.

Few people have heard of his other works.

He had already written the script for "Hancock" a long time ago, but no one had shown any interest in it.

Only now has Cao Kun taken the initiative to contact him.

"May I ask, Mr. Cao, which company do you represent?"

Vincent noticed that Cao Kun seemed unfamiliar and couldn't help but ask.

Cao Kun: "I represent my own company."

Vincent: "Excuse me, what works do you have currently?"

Cao Kun replied crisply, "No."

Vincent's expression darkened.

Who wouldn't want their script to be sold to a big company?

Cao Kun didn't explain: "Name your price. I want a buyout."

Vincent had little confidence in his script.

A screenwriter with prior experience can command a slightly higher price for a script, but not by much.

"$10, after tax." After weighing the options, Vincent quoted a price.

This is, after all, a script that has been disliked for a long time.

Cao Kun knew that the price was still negotiable.

But not wanting to cause any further trouble, he readily agreed: "Okay."

Vincent was taken aback.

They actually agreed.

"Let's sign the contract."

Cao Kun produced two contracts.

Vincent immediately recognized it as a standard contract, saw no problems, and readily signed his name.

Cao Kun immediately wrote Vincent a check for $10.

As for taxes, they will be recorded under Cao Kun's account. Cao Kun will then be responsible for filing the tax return.

From then on, the script for "Hancock" belonged to Cao Kun.

The next day, Chris Gardner also contacted Cao Kun.

Cao Kun went to his company to meet him.

Gardner was very surprised, wondering how Cao Kun knew that he was writing his own biography.

Cao Kun casually brushed it off with "I heard".

Gardner wasn't too concerned about that; as a businessman, he was more interested in how much the copyright to the biography could sell for.

Whether Cao Kun can make a good film about it.

Since he wrote this biography, he naturally hoped that someone would play him and bring his story to the big screen.

Cao Kun: "I will find the most professional screenwriters to adapt it into a script and find A-list stars to play you."

"At that time, you will become a world-renowned celebrity."

Gardner had a brief moment of passion.

But as a seasoned businessman, he quickly calmed down: "How much are you willing to pay for the adaptation rights?"

Cao Kun: "Name your price?"

Gardner hesitated for a moment: "$30, plus 5% of the film's box office revenue."

"impossible."

Cao Kun's face darkened.

This guy is really asking for the moon.

Cao Kun: "I can agree to 30, but box office revenue sharing is absolutely out of the question."

Gardner: "But...JK Law..."

Cao Kun: "What you wrote isn't Harry Potter either."

Gardner considered for a moment: "Okay, $30 it is, but I want it after tax."

The taxes in country M are shockingly high.

After taxes, Cao Kun will have to spend more than $10 more.
