The next day, Kim Yu-fan arrived at Twentieth Century Fox early in the morning and was preparing to discuss with the other party the filming of the movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse".

Of course, 20th Century Fox was also very happy with Kim Yu-fan's arrival. After all, Kim Yu-fan's arrival this time obviously had only one purpose, that is, for the movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse".

In fact, if it weren't for the previous contract issue, 20th Century Fox probably wouldn't have waited for Kim Yu-fan, so he was going to start filming a sequel, so he still had to wait for Kim Yu-fan.

After all, the "Twilight" movie series is indeed a very popular, box office and very profitable movie series. According to the idea of ​​Twentieth Century Fox, I wish I could finish filming one movie a year, so why do I have to wait like this? Wait for director Kim Yu-fan, screenwriter and starring, to continue filming when there is time.

Especially Kim Yu-fan, an Asian artist, even if he develops to the point of becoming a superstar in Asia, it is only Asia. In the center of world entertainment in the United States, it is actually nothing. I haven’t seen many top Asian artists, but after coming to the United States, they all become insignificant small characters.

Therefore, Twentieth Century Fox was also very unhappy with Kim Yu-fan. Although he was not optimistic about the movie series "Twilight", he didn't care about it when signing the contract and signed it casually. But now as Twilight is becoming more and more popular, Twentieth Century Fox also feels that all this is Kim Yu-fan's conspiracy. The contract he deliberately set at the beginning put Twentieth Century Fox in an absolutely passive situation.

This of course made Twentieth Century Fox very dissatisfied. For a small Asian artist, Twentieth Century Fox was so passive. Even Oscar winners and actresses did not have the qualifications to do so, and they did not dare to do so.

Fortunately, the "Twilight" movie series is indeed very powerful, with a typical investment of less, shooting time period, and high box office revenue. This is also the case that 20th Century Fox is not happy with Kim Yu-fan, but he will still be happy to cooperate with Kim Yu-fan.

After all, the United States is a country that puts interests first. In the case of "Twilight", especially compared with investment and recovery, 20th Century Fox is of course willing to cooperate with Kim Yu-fan for such a big profitable movie series. Although it is a little passive, what does it matter? At least you can make money.

In short, in the United States, as long as you have money to make money and profit, everything is easy to say, and you are the uncle.

When we come to the 20th Century Fox, welcoming Kim Yu-fan or Simon. As one of the middle and senior executives of the 20th Century Fox, Simon has always been dealing with Kim Yu-fan, so it is normal for Kim Yu-fan to welcome Kim Yu-fan as the representative of the 20th Century Fox to come.

"Haha, Kim, welcome you to the United States again." Seeing Kim Yu-fan's arrival, Simon seemed very happy. He spoke loudly from a distance, then stretched out his hands and walked over, clearly trying to hug Kim Yu-fan.

Although he is not familiar with Simon at all, he has only met a few times and talked several times due to the movie. However, Simon is so enthusiastic that Kim Yu-fan can't help but lose face. After all, the two sides still have to cooperate. After changing clothes, Simon has a fucking fuck. Twentieth Century Fox sent him a producer who is unfamiliar and difficult to communicate with. At that time, Kim Yu-fan will be very troublesome and troubled.

So, Kim Yu-fan didn't think much, just smiled and hugged Simon who was coming over: "Haha, man, how are you doing this? Have you been doing well during this period?"

"Haha, of course, it's better not when you arrived. You know, when you were in the United States, you were filming movies, and I was also a producer. But now you're finally here, I'm here, I believe my good days will come again."

Kim Yu-fan shook his head helplessly: "Your good day should be the benefit that the movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse" will bring to 20th Century Fox."

Simon: "Haha, of course, I never deny this. But everyone is the same. The better the box office of Twilight? Lunar Eclipse, the more 20% you will have. This is also a benefit. Are you not moved? You know, let alone Asian actors, even Hollywood actors, there are actually a few actors who can earn more than 30 million US dollars from the beginning of their Hollywood career, and the second part has earned more than 50 million US dollars."

"This is $50 million in revenue, not $5 million. Look at the current Hollywood superstars, it is estimated that only Will Smith's limited number of people can reach this number by paying for the box office, but this is the premise that the box office of the movie must be very good. The real salary of the movie can exceed $50 million. The entire Hollywood and even the whole world, Johnny Depp alone can get this price with the current island style, but this is just a special situation. Generally speaking, the salary of more than $50 million is basically unlikely."

It would be fine if you don’t mention Johnny Depp and Pirates of the Caribbean. This mention made Kim Yu-fan feel unhappy.

"Haha, don't say it anymore. Look at Disney, it's really generous enough. He gave Johnny Depp a $50 million salary. Although there is no box office share, it doesn't matter. Look at Disney's support for the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. The first one was $140 million, the second one was $225 million, the third one was $250 million, and the fourth one was $250 million. The production fee was really awesome, which made countless directors envious. According to this model, if the fifth one was $300 million, the production fee would be $300 million."

"Look at the production cost of our "Twilight" again. The first one is about $40 million, the second one is $60 million, and the third one is the movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse" that we are about to talk about. You told me on the phone yesterday that Twentieth Century Fox prepared us $65 million. This total is only $165 million, and it is even equivalent to the production cost of one "Caribbean Island". In terms of the production cost of the three movies alone, "Twilight" has $400 million left than "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is too big a comparison."

Looking at Simon who was stunned, Kim Yu-fan shook his head helplessly and said, "Even if our movies are different, Pirates of the Caribbean is destined to require more computer stunts to produce, which is high and has a large expense. But I did not require that the production cost of our Twilight City must be as high as Pirates of the Caribbean. At least at the same time as that of Pirates of the Caribbean, prepare several million dollars at the same time to support the logistics of the entire crew, so that the entire crew can eat better and have a better rest. What's the problem?"

"You must know that everyone can eat well and rest well, so that they can devote themselves to filming the movie and work. This will ensure the quality of the movie, make the movie better, and at the same time get more box office. This is a mutually beneficial relationship. Why don't you, Twentieth Century Fox, know, or you should be stingy if you know. Don't tell me that as one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, Twentieth Century Fox, you can't even get this money, and it's impossible."

Simon: "Uh~~~This..."

Kim Yu-fan waved his hand impatiently: "Simon, it's not the first time we've met and dealt with me, don't be with me. Look at the investment and production of Twentieth Century Fox last year, 2011. I don't know very well about the production cost of "Tianlong Special Attacks", but at least $100 million is available. "Rio Adventure" cost more than $90 million, and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is said to be $93 million. The production cost of these movies is much higher than any of the "Twilight", but none of the movies can have a better box office than "Twilight" baptism."

"I admit that in terms of winning awards, "Twilight" is not very good, and it is not suitable to win awards, but it is undeniable that the "Twilight" movie series has a high box office, which can earn enough US dollars for 20th Century Fox. And from the beginning, whether it is your 20th Century Fox or I personally, they have listed the "Twilight" movie series as a commercial movie, just for the box office, not for the award."

"Not to mention anything else, our "Twilight" movie series alone has a total box office of more than $1.2 billion after two movies. Can Twentieth Century Fox be $480 million, and the investment of the two movies is only $100 million. This also means that the two movies have earned 380 million US dollars for Twentieth Century Fox. You should know that this is just the box office revenue, and it has not counted the peripherals, DVDs, original soundtracks, and music albums. These are all the more you earn."

Speaking of this, Kim Yu-fan looked at Simon seriously and finally said lightly: "The first two movies of the "Twilight" film series have made 20th Century Fox make so much money at a very small price. I just want a few million dollars more. This is not for me, but for the entire crew and for the film to be better at that time. Why doesn't Twenty-Century Fox want to give it? This is a bit too much."

I noticed that Kim Yu-hwan's tone was a bit wrong. Because I had worked with Kim Yu-hwan, I served as the producer of two movie series "Twilight" by Kim Yu-hwan. I had been dealing with Kim Yu-hwan on the crew for a long time, so I also had some understanding of Kim Yu-hwan's personality.

Therefore, feeling that Kim Yu-fan was a little unhappy, Simon quickly reached out and put his hand on Kim Yu-fan's shoulder and invited Kim Yu-fan into the gate of the 20th Century Fox: "Kim, I know this, you are not for yourself, don't worry, when we are discussing the movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse", we will talk about this matter well, and I will help you work hard to get it."

Kim Yu-fan looked at Simon with doubt and asked with disbelief: "Really, don't lie to me, don't let Wick Godfrey come out to be a bad guy then. Can you two producers unify your opinions first this time? Don't say OK then. There is another problem with Wick Godfrey, so you shook your head and disagreed."

Simon nodded with a wry smile: "Okay, Kim, don't worry, you just need to add millions of dollars, and for the quality of life of the crew, this should not be a problem. I will persuade Wick Godfrey. After all, you are just Yufan King, not James Cameron, you only ask for additional millions of dollars, not tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Believe me, the money is not much, and the problem is not big."

Well, James Cameron's request for additional investment and production costs is already well known all over the world, especially the "Avatar" storm in 2009. The production cost was a terrifying $230 million, but this was nothing at all. In the end, James Cameron habitually asked for additional investment, the production cost reached a terrifying $500 million.

This is also the courage and confidence that James Cameron has the courage and confidence to ask for additional investment in this way. More importantly, "Avatar" did succeed in the end, and it can be said to be an unprecedented success. This can make James Cameron even more awesome, and in the future, he can be more confident in asking for additional investment and production costs.

Anyway, the whole Hollywood and even the whole world are used to the situation of James Cameron. A movie is being shot and invested 100 million US dollars, but the producers will quietly prepare 50 million US dollars, waiting for James Cameron to ask for additional investment, and James Cameron will definitely speak.

Fortunately, "Avatar" finally succeeded, and it was a must-have super successful. Otherwise, if such a high production cost failed, it would basically lose everything James Cameron has established in Hollywood over the years, whether it is connections or credibility, in short, everything.

Therefore, James Cameron will become a joke in people's eyes. The producers will no longer believe it, nor will they give James Cameron any chance? Once they fail, they can even bring James Cameron's career to a fatal blow.

However, in the end, James Cameron succeeded and became the well-deserved king of commercial films in Hollywood. His habit of requiring producers to add production costs and investment costs has become an open matter. Over time, everyone liked it. This is enough to show from the producers' habit of preparing tens of millions of dollars more and waiting for James Cameron to ask for this.

Under Simon's comfort, Kim Yu-fan and Simon walked into the 20th Century Fox and led them to an office. As soon as they walked in, Kim Yu-fan saw where Wick Godfrey was sitting at first sight.

When Kim Yu-fan saw Wick Godfrey, he immediately understood. If nothing unexpected happens, this time, Wick Godfrey and Simon are obviously also the producers of the movie.

To be honest, from the first part, Wick Godfrey and Simon are the producers of the Twilight movie series. The two of them cooperated well, but one was the role of a good person, this one was Simon, and the other was the role of a bad person, this one was the role of a bad person, this one was the role of a Wick Godfrey.

Basically, on Simon's side, you will always get a smile and a certain response. On Wick Godfrey's side, you will always get rejection and sneering, which also makes Wick Godfrey very unpopular on the crew, but Wick Godfrey doesn't care about this at all and still does what you want.

"Hi, Jin, you're finally here." Seeing Kim Yu-fan, Wick Godfrey smiled gently.

"Haha, Wick, it would be the best if you can keep this way." Seeing Wick, Kim Yu-fan also said with a smile.

It's strange to say that Wick and Simon are producers of the Twilight movie series, one is red-faced and the other is white-faced. In fact, the real situation is that Simon is gentle to everyone when he is on the crew, but it's more of a perfunctory thing. Once he leaves the crew, or in private, Simon will definitely look arrogant and even look down on others.

On the contrary, Wick, who is not kind in the crew, is indeed a very gentle person in private, with a very good personality and temper. Only when working, Wick seems to be too serious about work and it is difficult to speak, but in private, everyone likes Wick more, this person with eyes and gives people a very gentle and kind look at it at first sight.

"Of course, I am like this, and I have always been like this. But occasionally at work, I will become a little serious because of work needs. But more often, I am still very gentle. Don't be afraid that I think so badly. You just have been in contact with me for a long time while on the crew. If you contact me more privately, you will find that I am actually a very kind person."

Hearing Wick's words, Kim Yu-fan shook his head helplessly, and then sat down opposite Wick: "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. This time I'll come to Twentieth Century Fox, I believe you know what's going on. I'm sure that Twentieth Century Fox will definitely not refuse the movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse". So now the question is, yesterday I talked with Simon, and Simon told me that Twentieth Century Fox prepared $65 million in production for "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse". I think it's less, at least $70 million."

"I believe Simon also told the Twentieth Century Fox what I mean, so before I come, you should have made a decision, after all, it's just an additional five million dollars, not fifty million dollars. I believe this little money is nothing to Twentieth Century Fox. So now, please tell me whether your Twentieth Century Fox's decision is willing to give the 70 million dollars more?"

Kim Yu-fan didn't say anything nonsense and expressed his opinions and requirements on the cost of the movie, which made Wick and Simon become serious immediately.
Chapter completed!
