"One hundred million US dollars!" Jim Giannopros's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he looked at Kim Yu-fan carefully: "Is this too much? After all, the production cost of "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse" is only 70 million US dollars, and this is an extra $3,500,000 US dollars, this..."

Jim Giannopros didn't finish his words, but Kim Yu-fan was not a fool either. Of course, he knew and understood what Jim Giannopros meant.

Obviously, for the next sequel, the production cost will cost 100 million US dollars, which seems to be a bit too much for Jim Giannopros. Jim Giannopros cannot be sure whether he can convince the board of directors at that time.

Thirty million US dollars is indeed not much. In fact, as the eight major Hollywood film companies, 20th Century Fox cannot afford to spend this amount of money. After all, 20th Century Fox's financial situation is very good, and there is also a huge news group behind it, which is not like MGM.

In fact, Twentieth Century Fox invests nearly ten movies every year. For example, in 2012, Twentieth Century Fox invested in eight movies. Although some movies are not invested in high investment, in 2012, Twentieth Century Fox invested more than $500 million in movies.

"Pi's Fantasy Drift" alone is $120 million, "Ice Age 4" is $95 million, "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse" is $70 million, and "Prometheus" is $130 million. The total investment cost of the four movies is $400 million, and there are still four movies left, so there is definitely no problem to raise $100 million.

In 2012, Twentieth Century Fox had exceeded $500 million in film investment. The sequel to Twilight City invested 100 million US dollars, which is not much for Twentieth Century Fox. After all, there are many slightly better movies in Hollywood now, with investments of $100 million.

$100 million is nothing to the financially healthy Twentieth Century Fox. But now the problem is that the sequel to "Twilight" costs $100 million, which really makes Jim Giannoporus a little embarrassed.

It’s not because the production cost of the sequel of "Twilight" suddenly increased, but because before that, the production cost of "Twilight" has been very low. Even if each movie is growing, it is actually mainly aimed at the pay for two starring Kim Yu-fan and Stewart Christine. In fact, the real production cost of filming really doesn’t require anything.

The production cost of $100 million is really not much for other movies, but for the sequel to "Twilight" in sequel, it's really too much.

The production cost of $100 million is nearly three times the first part of "Twilight", and the third part of "Twilight" has almost increased the production cost by 30%. This huge increase is what makes Jim Giannopros hesitate.

If the production cost of "Twilight" was nearly $100 million at the beginning, Jim Giannopos would never say anything. But from the beginning, the production cost of "Twilight" was only $37 million, the production cost of "Twilight" was $50 million, and "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse" was $70 million.

Now, the fourth part of the sequel of "Twilight" has a 30% increase in production costs. The increase in production costs is indeed too fast and too high. As the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, Jim Giannopos, in addition to managing the normal investment in film production of 20th Century Fox, also has to strictly supervise the production costs of films.

In fact, it is not just Twentieth Century Fox. Currently, Hollywood film companies are increasingly strict and paying attention to film investment, especially production costs. They do not seek to win awards, but only seek to make money. Even if they can’t make much money, at least don’t lose money. They really have to lose money, but lose as little as possible.

There is no way. MGM Film, the most well-deserved film company in Hollywood, was the leader of the eight major Hollywood film companies. Because of the large investment in film production and the impact of the financial tsunami, MGM Film Company was in debt and was unable to file for bankruptcy in the end.

In fact, even now, MGM Films is still in bankruptcy, and the "Hobbit" movie series seems to have completely disappeared. MGM Films cannot make a big profit with the "Hobbit" movie series, and then completely get rid of the debt crisis.

Well, in fact, no one in the world knows that the "Hobbit" movie series had been secretly purchased by Kim Yu-fan a few years ago. Although Kim Yu-fan had not officially entered Hollywood with all his strength, some preparations still need to be prepared.

Just like the Twilight movie series, the Hobbit movie series, including other box office hits, or novels and copyrights that can win important awards by Oscars, Kim Yu-fan asked James Steve to secretly buy it.

In short, MGM Film Company invested too much in movies and then failed many movies, which led to MGM Film Company losing money and then filed for bankruptcy in the financial crisis.

This incident also sounded a wake-up call for other Hollywood film companies, so now Hollywood film companies are very strict about the plans and quantity of films investing in each year, including the production costs of investing in movies. They control the production costs as much as possible, and strive to spend the least money to achieve the best and greatest results.

As the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, the same is true at this time. The 30 million US dollars are not much for Twentieth Century Fox, and it can be completely taken out, not to mention the popularity and influence of the "Twilight" movie series, which ensures a box office sales.

However, the production cost of the sequel has increased by 30%, which is a bit large. As the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, Jim Giannoporus must restrict and manage this situation.

Thirty million US dollars is not much. Jim Giannopros' hesitation was just out of Jim Giannopros' profession and responsibility instinct. Seeing that the cost of sequel production needs to be increased by 30%, I subconsciously wanted to control and manage and reduce the production costs as much as possible.

"It's just $100 million, don't tell me that Twentieth Century Fox can't come up with this money." Seeing Jim Giannopros hesitate, it was obvious that he didn't want to take out the money, or that the production cost was high, this immediately caused Kim Yu-fan's dissatisfaction.

"Jim, you have to know that the entire Twentieth Century Fox currently produces almost ten movies every year, and which movie makes Twentieth Century Fox the most profitable is our "Twilight" movie series."

"The Twilight movie series invested less than 100 million US dollars, and almost every time you can transfer 200 million US dollars to 200 million US dollars. And you can look at other movies invested by 200 million US dollars, or even more than 100 million US dollars. It is good to be able to protect the capital, but it is already a thankful thing if you don't lose money."

"Twentieth Century Fox would rather invest more than 100 million US dollars in other crews, which is more than twice the cost of our "Twilight" movie series. I don't even care about the loss, but for our "Twilight" movie series, the movie that can make the most money for 20th Century Fox, is it fair to be so stingy about investment costs? Or in the eyes of our "Twilight" movie series, in the eyes of 20th Century Fox, is our crew really that lowly in terms of its status and price?"

At this moment, Jim Giannopros was speechless and didn't know what to say.

After all, Kim Yu-fan is telling the truth that the Twilight movie series can make money for Twentieth Century Fox, but Twentieth Century Fox has invested very little in the Twilight movie series.

Compared with other movies invested by Twentieth Century Fox, it basically doesn't make much money or even loses a lot of money. If it weren't for the income support of the "Twilight" movie series, it would probably be a problem with the finances of Twentieth Century Fox.

In fact, the box office revenue brought by the "Twilight" movie series is not much. In fact, even if you invest 200 million US dollars, each movie series of "Twilight" will bring about $300 million in revenue to Twentieth Century Fox, which can make Twentieth Century Fox earn 100 million US dollars.

This is just the box office revenue, and the income in the surrounding area is not counted at all, because the revenue brought to 20th Century Fox by the "Twilight" movie series is much higher than the so-called production cost, and it can even be said to be much higher.

"Well, I'd like to ask why you need $100 million in the next sequel. This is not that I'm stingy, but the first three movies of "Twilight" are not expensive, but the effect is surprisingly good. Although the reputation is not very good, the box office has won a big win. You can obviously spend less money to achieve better results, so why do you need to increase your investment?"

Kim Yu-fan: "It's very simple, that is, I hope that the box office of the "Twilight" movie series can be higher, which can satisfy female fans all over the world, and I also hope that male fans can also be attracted by the "Twilight" movie series."

Jim Giannopros: "This is impossible, Jin, you should know that the reputation and evaluation of the "Twilight" movie series have always been very low, and they are basically supported by female fans. Male fans will not like the style of the "Twilight" movie series."

"Of course, that's why I feel that the production cost must be increased so that we can get better results when we have money, especially fighting scenes, so that male movie fans can enter the cinema to watch movies and contribute to the box office of the movie." Kim Yu-fan said with a serious look: "From the movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse", I have started to make some attempts, increasing the intensity of the fight scenes, and the effect is very obvious. At least today's movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse" will no longer be infinitely criticized by male movie fans like the two movies before. Some fighting scenes in "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse" have been recognized and accepted by male movie fans. I have seen media surveys. Male movie fans still prefer the movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse", especially the fighting scenes, and say that they are no longer the first two movies that make them want to sleep and have no highlights."

"Jim, do you know what this means? It means we can completely increase the fighting scenes to attract the attention of male fans. In terms of the female fan market, the "Twilight" movie series has reached its limit. It can even be said that there are no visitors before. I don't know if there are any visitors behind, but I probably don't have them. If the "Twilight" movie series can stimulate male fans and increase the support of male fans in the film to enter the cinema, do you know how much this will increase the box office of the movie?"

"You should also know that the "Twilight" movie series has caused the madness and support of female fans, which is only temporary and is a special situation. In North America, even the entire world, male fans are the main consumption power of the film. Only by grasping male fans can you truly capture the box office market of the movie."

Jim Giannopros was silent this time. The movie "Twilight Eclipse" is completely different from the previous two movies, Twilight and Crescent, because there are many more fighting scenes in the movie, and such a huge change can be seen by Twilight fans.

The effect of this change, especially in the mouths of male fans, is indeed very good, and at least it will not make male fans drowsy during the entire movie.

It took Jim Giannopros to speak: "Well, for the sequel, 20th Century Fox can spend $100 million in production to shoot the movie. I hope it can produce the results you want, and I hope the movie can finally achieve the results we expect."

Kim Yu-fan laughed: "Of course, this is what I'm looking forward to. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'm the director and male lead of the "Twilight" movie series after all, and all my interests are with the "Twilight" movie series. Of course, I also hope that the "Twilight" movie series will be smoother and smoother, so that I will have benefits."

Jim Giannopros nodded and said nothing. Jim Giannopros believed this.

Seeing Kim Yu-fan silent again, Jim Giannopros understood Kim Yu-fan's meaning, and then continued to speak: "In the crew, you can maintain absolute rights. Even under normal circumstances, you have the first rights of the crew. No matter the producer or who, even me and Twentieth Century Fox, you do not have the right to interfere with your shooting and planning. This can be written into the contract."

"Under normal circumstances, what is normal circumstances, and when is abnormal?" Looking at Jim Giannopos, Kim Yu-fan asked with a sneer. At this time, he was playing these small traps and word games with him, and he really thought he was a fool.

Jim Giannopros looked at Kim Yu-fan and finally sighed helplessly. He didn't expect Kim Yu-fan to react so quickly, and instantly asked the most critical question: "We are not in a hurry for this matter. At that time, we both need to sit and have a good chat and talk."

"Of course, this is a must. I don't want you to suddenly one day, you Twentieth Century Fox to kick me away from the crew with a contract. No, right? It's not just kicking away. It's estimated that according to your Twentieth Century Fox's style, you will not only kick me away, but you even have to pay you Twentieth Century Fox a lot of money, which is likely to exceed hundreds of millions of dollars."

Kim Yu-fan looked at Jim Giannopros with a sneer. Kim Yu-fan was certainly unhappy about Jim Giannopros being playing tricks with him at this time. He decided to give Jim Giannopros well, or to give Jim Giannopros a little color to the 20th Century Fox behind Jim Giannopros. He really thought he was a novice who knew nothing. Even if he didn't know, would his agent, James Steve, not know.

Recognizing Kim Yu-fan's dissatisfaction, Jim Giannopros hurriedly said: "The filming of the sequel can give you a 20 million US dollars in a film. This is a 20 million US dollars in a film. With this pay, you will become the highest paid person in Hollywood. This is unprecedented for Asian actors."

"Haha, the 20 million US dollars in salary looks good, but if you compare it with the box office dividend, it will be nothing at all." Kim Yu-fan said with a smile.

When Jim Giannopros heard that Kim Yu-fan mentioned the matter of box office dividends, Jim Giannopros couldn't help but sigh again. Although he knew that Kim Yu-fan could not let the box office dividends go, but now when it comes to mentioning it, Jim Giannopros still feels extremely mentally.

Because Jim Giannopros knew that if this topic was discussed, Twentieth Century Fox would definitely lose a lot of money. With absolute initiative, Kim Yu-fan would definitely speak out loud and demand a higher box office dividend ratio, which is destined.

"Well, I know, this time we plan to give you a 25% box office dividend. Without any investment, you can enjoy a 25% box office dividend. This is already the top box office dividend ratio in Hollywood..."

"25%, this is too little, at least 35%. "Before Jim Giannopros continues to speak, Kim Yu-fan interrupted Jim Giannopros without hesitation and said his request.
