Chapter 1653 Choice
Now, the three scripts are placed in front of Kim Yu-fan, which is somewhat beyond Kim Yu-fan's expectations.
In fact, this time, Kim Yu-fan was mentally prepared and prepared to not have a script. But he did not expect that in the end, not only would there be scripts to find him, but there were also many. Even under the selection of James Steve, there were three scripts waiting for him to decide.
James Steve may not know, but Kim Yu-fan knows that these three scripts, no matter which script they are, are very impressive in terms of box office.
Perhaps there will be some losses for film investment companies, but the problem is that Kim Yu-hwan is not a film investment company, but an actor. For actors, these three movies are basically a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, which can definitely give you a higher and greater influence because of the box office of the movie. This is the key.
Therefore, for Kim Yu-fan, no matter which one is, he can take on these three movies. Now, what Kim Yu-fan needs to do is very simple, that is, because time is limited, it is impossible for Kim Yu-fan to take on three scripts at the same time. At this time, Kim Yu-fan must make a choice, choose a script, a script that suits him best and helps him more.
After a silence, Kim Yu-fan slowly spoke, "Prevent the drama "Special Forces: Comprehensive Counterattack" and I don't want to participate."
As Kim Yu-fan said, James Steve's eyes lit up and he laughed happily: "Haha, Kim, although you are very young, although I have said this sentence many times before, I still want to say it again. You really don't have the impulse and recklessness of young people. When talking to you, I really have to be energetic. You give me a feeling like an old fox, which makes me have to be wary of you, for fear that you will be cheated by you if you don't pay attention."
Kim Yu-fan smiled and said, "Haha, James, you're so polite. We are friends. Sometimes I am really decisive, and I can even be called ruthless. But at least one thing, I think I'm doing very well, that is, I'm still very good to my friends. You are my friend, and in some ways, we are all our own people, and interests are tied together. If you don't play any means or touch my bottom line, I will not cheat you."
"I admit this." James Steve nodded: "I mean, you give me the feeling like those old foxes who have been scheming for many years. They give me that feeling, which makes me unable to help but cheer up to prevent being cheated, rather than saying that you really cheated me."
James Steve felt confident in Kim Yu-fan's words. After the two naturally cooperated, James Steve certainly had to investigate and understand Kim Yu-fan in secret.
This is not that James Steve distrusts Kim Yu-fan. In fact, from the beginning, both sides did not have any so-called trust. Moreover, after investigating and understanding Kim Yu-fan, James Steve was able to know Kim Yu-fan's personality and character, so that he could avoid provoking Kim Yu-fan or causing genetic dissatisfaction in advance, so that both sides could better cooperate with Kim Yu-fan.
James Steve is the number one independent agent in the United States. Although James Steve was in a mess when Kim Yu-fan came to him, he didn't say anything. In fact, it was just that James Steve's pride and self-esteem did not allow James Steve to say anything.
In fact, deep down, James Steve is still very grateful to Kim Yu-fan. Because of Kim Yu-fan's appearance, James Steve completely got out of the predicament, solved his basic life, and had enough time and capital to set off again. James Steve remembered all of this in his heart, but did not say it out.
Therefore, James Steve is really grateful to Kim Yu-fan. Because of his gratitude, James Steve also hopes to work with Kim Yu-fan for a longer time. The cooperation between the two allows James Steve to have enough understanding of Kim Yu-fan so that the two sides will not have conflicts over certain things and can cooperate happily.
Because of this gratitude, the three scripts that James Steve gave to Kim Yu-fan this time are actually due to James Steve. Otherwise, even if Kim Yu-fan temporarily succeeded in the global box office with the "Twilight" movie series, it would not be that these three scripts, or the crew behind these three scripts came to him and invited Kim Yu-fan to participate in the movie.
Fortunately, Kim Yu-fan is also a star, with a very terrifying influence in Asia, especially in South Korea. The Korean media also leaves no room for Kim Yu-fan’s coverage. Therefore, through the Internet, James Steve has a lot of knowledge about Kim Yu-fan’s character and knows how to deal with the relationship between himself and Kim Yu-fan, making the cooperation between the two sides happy.
Kim Yu-fan smiled and said nothing. Anyway, James Steve was not the first to say similar words, and Kim Yu-fan has long been used to listening to them. Of course, James Steve would never be the last to say such words.
Because Kim Yu-fan knew that only when he was old enough after he was forty or fifty years old, such words would disappear from his side.
"My thoughts are the same as those of Jin you. We directly exclude the movie "Special Forces: Comprehensive Counterattack". Because the crew of this movie cannot satisfy people in all aspects, you don't have to downgrade yourself and feel wronged. There is no need to be that. To be honest, I doubt the sincerity of the crew of "Special Forces: Comprehensive Counterattack" and the invitation they sent to you is really an invitation or an insult."
Feeling the dissatisfaction and anger in James Steve's tone, Kim Yu-fan shook his head calmly. To be honest, Kim Yu-fan didn't have much opinion on this at that time. Not to mention that there are two scripts that look more powerful, better, and more successful in the movie. Kim Yu-fan personally doesn't accept the role of Bai Ghost in his heart, and he can't even show his face. What's that?
"I didn't think too much at that time, I just felt that the crew of "Special Forces: Comprehensive Counterattack" was not sincere enough. Moreover, the actor who played the role of Bai Youling was originally a Korean actor. According to the relationship between the Korean entertainment industry and my senior, I was not easy to steal his role. What's more, the character of Bai Youling basically didn't have much chance to show his face, and it would definitely be more tiring to film it. In addition, there were two choices for scripts, so I refused."
James Steve: "Of course, more importantly, the crew of "Special Forces: The Yearly Counterattack" really has no sincerity. They only plan to give you a $100,000 salary, and look like they are giving us a high-ranking charity. This is absolutely untolerable. Jin, you must remember that when talking about the salary in the future, unless the other party directly says that you can enjoy the box office dividend, otherwise the salary is lower than your value. Don't agree. Even if the other party kneels down and begs you, it won't be allowed. If you really don't refuse favors and relationships, you must also sign a confidentiality agreement with the crew, especially the film investment company, to ensure that your salary will not be reported, otherwise they will be held accountable."
"Well, I understand, don't worry, James, the pay is directly related to my personal interests, and I will not underestimate it." I felt the importance of pay from James Steve again, and Kim Yu-fan had to remember this in his heart.
Regarding Kim Yu-fan's reaction, James Steve nodded with satisfaction, then threw the information of "Special Forces: Comprehensive Counterattack" aside, and then put the information of "Pacific Rim" and "World of Zombie" on the table, looking at Kim Yu-fan and said, "Now, it's a matter of choosing one of two. Which movie do you choose, Pacific Rim and "World of Zombie",?"
Faced with James Steve's inquiry, Kim Yu-fan also fell silent, because for a moment, Kim Yu-fan didn't know which script to choose.
In fact, from the surface, it is easy to make "Pacific Rim" more powerful, and the conditions and treatment in all aspects are better. But when you think of James Steve's personality and James Steve hopes that he can take over the script "World of the Zombie", Kim Yu-fan also knows that James Steve is definitely not for no reason, there must be a reason.
Perhaps, taking over the script "World of Zombies" will help you develop and help you in Hollywood in the future. This is what Kim Yu-fan pays most and is a priority at present.
However, Kim Yu-fan couldn't understand how helpful he would be to his future development in Hollywood because of the movie "Zombie World War". Is it because of this movie that I met Brad Pitt and became good friends with Brad Pitt. With the help of Brad Pitt, I can develop smoothly in Hollywood.
Well, Kim Yu-fan himself doesn't believe this sentence. If this is true, then Kim Yu-fan can only sigh that Brad Pitt has very few friends, so few that he will do his best to help the other party develop in Hollywood.
Well, is this possible, is this realistic?
"On the surface, it is obvious that the conditions given by Pacific Rim are better. But from James' tone, you seem to want me to take on the script "World of Zombies"?"
James Steve is an American, not a Korean, and he is very direct in terms of personality and style of doing things, so Kim Yu-fan will not talk to James Steve in the way of dealing with Asians. Instead, he will talk to James Steve in a very direct way.
If you don’t understand, ask, it’s nothing. If Kim Yu-fan uses the Asian way, and doesn’t understand, and pretends to know how to beat him, then James Steve probably thought Kim Yu-fan really knew what the situation was, but wouldn’t explain anything.
"Yes, from the current sincerity, the crew of "Pacific Rim" has greater sincerity. In fact, if you think about the content of the movie "Pacific Rim", it is not surprising. It is mainly aimed at the Asian market and give you better treatment, which is also a matter of course."
"However, I still hope you can consider the movie "Zombie World War". You should know that Jin is different from other Asian actors. You have not successfully laid the foundation in Hollywood with the "Twilight" movie series. Currently, with the box office results of the "Twilight" movie series and the subsequent sequels, your popularity and influence are not dared to underestimate it. At this time, you must pursue the so-called open interests. On the contrary, you should pursue your own connections and relationships in Hollywood, which is the most important thing for you in your current situation."
"Even other Asian actors succeed for a while, no one can guarantee that the next movie will succeed. But Jin, you are different. With the success of the "Twilight" movie series, especially the box office harvest, as long as the "Twilight" movie series has not been completed, your popularity and influence will always exist."
"So, you don't need to come to Hollywood to make a comedy like other Asian actors, or play a supporting role, and try to win yourself the opportunity to participate in movie performances as much as possible. On the contrary, what you need to do now is to take advantage of the "Twilight" movie series as much as possible and expand your connections in Hollywood as much as possible. That's the key."
Kim Yu-fan nodded to show his understanding, but he still looked at James Steve with some confusion: "So, James, do you think the movie "Zombie World War" is more suitable for me to expand my connections than the movie "Pacific Rim"?"
"Of course, there is no doubt about this." James Steve nodded decisively and said: "We have also said before that the movie "Pacific Rim" is mainly aimed at the Asian market. To put it bluntly, it is the market between China, Japan and South Korea. Jin You has a great influence in Asia, especially Southeast Asian countries. The reason why "Pacific Rim" invited you to participate in the crew was that it gave such good treatment and conditions. After all, it also valued your connections and influence in Asia."
"To be honest, I doubt that the legendary film and Warner Bros. behind "Pacific Rim" are just regarded as popcorn movies, just for the Asian movie box office market, and are a one-time box office consumption movie."
"World of Zombie Wars is different. I have asked, Paramount is planning to make a successful movie series in the movie "World of Zombie Wars". As long as the box office of "World of Zombie Wars" is successful, there will definitely be a sequel."
"Of course, if the box office of the movie "Pacific Rim" is successful, there will definitely be a sequel. After all, any big-produced commercial movie will definitely appear as long as the box office is successful. But unlike "World of Zombie", the movie "Pacific Rim" does not have a sequel yet, but "World of Zombie" has this consideration. From this point, it can be seen that Paramount attaches importance and expectations for the movie "World of Zombie", and also shows Paramount's attitude towards the movie "World of Zombie".
"Since you plan to shoot a sequel, Paramount will definitely pay great attention to the first part of the movie "World of Zombie", and make it as good as possible to attract more box office movies. In this regard, Paramount behind "World of Zombie", from the very beginning, has been much better than "Pacific Rim" in terms of attitude."
"And, compared to the kind of movies that are directly aimed at the box office of Asian movies in Pacific Rim, I don't want Kim to participate, as that will over-expend your influence in Asia, especially the box office appeal, which will be very bad for your future development. If "Pacific Rim" is a bad movie, it will have a great impact on Kim in the future."
"At the same time, "World of Zombie" is a better choice, especially if you participate in the movie "World of Zombie" and you can also make friends with Brad Pitt, which is very helpful for your future development history in Hollywood. You should know that Brad Pitt is one of the small groups of people who are truly the top Hollywood and enjoy box office dividends. Sometimes with the same opportunity, you are absolutely weak in all aspects of competing with someone, but at this time Brad Pitt will say something for you, then you have a great chance of getting a chance."
"Although the United States is a country where interests are paramount, Hollywood is naturally the same. But this does not mean that Hollywood has no so-called favors, no so-called relationships and connections. In fact, Hollywood also talks about favors and connections very much, but it is limited to the small group of people in Hollywood, such as a few top directors and top actors."
"Because, only when they reach this opportunity will they listen to others and listen to them, just to give the other party a face and then seek cooperation in the future, the other party is not embarrassed to refuse. After all, the small group of people who reach the top of Hollywood are no longer just relying on high pay and impressed. For this group of people, sometimes favors and relationships are more effective than so-called pay and US dollars."
Listening to James Steve's explanation, Kim Yu-fan asked inexplicably: "Is it worth my take on this script because of Paramount's attitude and Brad Pitt?"
James Steve smiled: "It seems like a bit of a joke, too simple, but in fact many things are so simple, but people themselves are too complicated and think things too complicated. Of course, whether you can accept the script of "Zombie World War" is your business. I can only tell you my opinions and analysis that as for the final result, you still have to decide in person, at least after reading the script."
Speaking of this, James Steve smiled and stretched out his hands, holding two scripts in both hands and handed them to Kim Yu-fan, signaling Kim Yu-fan to read the script first before making a decision.
