Chapter 1706 Sequel Plan (Part 2)
Kim Yu-fan: "Yes, Hollywood does not have this statement now, but it is limited to me being an Asian. {[ (([({{
Jim Giannopros was stunned. Kim Yu-fan said nothing wrong. There is indeed a higher box office dividend ratio, but that is different. In that case, it is basically a low-cost movie. Then a big-name actor is invited to star in it. The whole movie is supported by this big-name actor and the popularity and influence of the big-name actor to ensure the box office. In this case, the box office dividend of this actor in this movie will even reach a terrifying 5o%, or even higher.
But like the current "Twilight" movie series, although Kim Yu-fan is the absolute soul and core, he will pay 35% of the box office dividend when he speaks. This has long passed his bottom line for Jim Giannopros.
In fact, in Jim Giannopros' psychological tolerance range, he gave Kim Yu-fan a maximum of 27% box office dividends, but Kim Yu-fan now said that he had a 35% box office dividend, which was over 8%. How could Jim Giannopros accept this?
"That's right, but the situation is different. Judging from the box office situation of the "Twilight" movie series, 35% of the box office dividends are too much, which is absolutely not allowed to be accepted by our 20th Century Fox." Jim Giannopros still shook his head firmly and rejected Kim Yu-fan's proposal. After all, 35% of the box office dividends are too high for Jim Giannopros, which is impossible to accept.
"Of course, this is your freedom. Since you, Twentieth Century Fox, is unwilling to accept this box office dividend ratio, it doesn't matter. I will naturally look for a film company that agrees with my box office dividend ratio, it doesn't matter." Kim Yu-fan said calmly.
"This..." Jim Giannopros was stunned. When Jim Giannopros heard Kim Yu-fan's words, Jim Giannopros realized that it seemed that the copyrights of the remaining two sequels in "Twilight" are in the hands of Kim Yu-fan. Kim Yu-fan could leave with the copyrights of the two sequels and choose to cooperate with other Hollywood film companies.
Thinking of this, Jim Giannopros couldn't help but be anxious: "Kin, you have to calm down. You must know that even the top Hollywood stars cannot enjoy such a high box office dividend. This is not just our 20th Century Fox. I believe that no film company can accept this box office dividend ratio."
"What's more, although I don't mean this, this situation does exist in Hollywood. Jin, you have to know that you are an Asian, and an Asian who just arrived in Hollywood. Give you a 35% box office dividend. Do you think this is possible? Are you realistic?"
Facing Jim Giannopros' constant persuasion and reasoning, Kim Yu-fan has always been very calm and said nothing.
Just as Kim Yu-fan thought before, he now has absolute initiative, so Kim Yu-fan is not worried about the reactions of Jim Giannopos and Twentieth Century Fox.
At worst, the two sides broke up, and then Kim Yu-fan naturally left Twentieth Century Fox with the copyright to find other film companies to cooperate with.
It really doesn't work. At worst, it's not enough to shoot it. Anyway, the copyright is in my own hands. Since I haven't got the benefits I want, Kim Yu-fan would rather not shoot it, so I put the last two sequels of "Twilight" there. Since I can't get the benefits I want, no one else can get this benefit.
"Of course, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, this is my bottom line. If I can't reach this bottom line, I would rather not shoot the next two sequels. Anyway, I can't get the benefits I want, so anyone will be wanted to get them. This is my personality."
Looking at Jim Giannopros who was stunned, Kim Yu-fan stood up with a smile, then pointed to the entire villa: "This is enough to prove that I don't lack any money. I don't care about the pay and dividends of those two sequels. Anyway, it has not met my requirements, so I would rather not shoot it."
Yes, look at Kim Yu-fan's current situation. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a person who is short of money. Not only is it not short of money, but your ideas are still the kind of rich people. People like this often care about their own face the most.
Jim Giannopros: "Yufan, your requirements are really too high. If you have any movie series, no matter how good the box office is, no film company will give you a 35% box office dividend ratio. This ratio is really too high!"
"Of course, I know." Kim Yu-fan nodded with a smile, then looked at Jim Giannopros and asked slowly: "But who knows this kind of thing? Moreover, 20th Century Fox and you cannot represent all the film companies in Hollywood."
"In other words, if Jim and Twentieth Century Fox have a chance, or Johnny Depp suddenly brings the last two sequels of "Pirates of the Caribbean", or would it be Peter Jackson find you with the copyright of the last sequel of "Lord of the Rings" and find Twentieth Century Fox. It means that the copyright is yours, there is no problem, but the box office dividend will be distributed to yourself by 35%, or even 4o%, I don't know if Jim and Twentieth Century Fox will refuse."
Jim Giannopros was stunned. Yes, if there was such a chance, would he still refuse? Not to mention 4o%, even if it was 5o%, he would not refuse.
The movie "Lord of the Rings? Return of the King" costs only $9.40 million, less than $100 million. But the box office was a sensational $1.1 billion box office. If you really invest in this movie, Twentieth Century Fox can eventually earn $550 million. Even if you give Peter Jackson 50% of the box office dividend, you still have $200 million left. Excluding the cost, you can still earn more than $100 million.
More importantly, this is the most direct box office dividend, and the surrounding revenue is not included. The copyright of "Lord of the Rings? Return of the King" will also belong to Twentieth Century Fox at that time, and Twentieth Century Fox will certainly not refuse.
"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" costs $200 million, and the final box office is $960 million. Twentieth Century Fox can get $480 million, giving Johnny Depp half of it, and there are $240 million left, leaving $40 million left after the cost.
It doesn't seem to be much, but considering that there is still a surrounding area, there is a classic movie entering the 20th Century Fox's film library, including the copyright of the movie, which is really valuable.
The same is true for "Pirates of the Caribbean 4". Although the cost rose to US$250 million, the box office eventually exceeded US$100 million. In short, you will not lose money by relying on the box office alone, and the income around you is pure profit.
If there was really such an opportunity, facing such a strong situation, it would have proved that the movie series that had a box office market would have long been proven that the price was high, and the box office would not be tested, and only consider the benefits and fame brought by the sensation brought by the success of the movie to the film company. The peripherals alone and the film copyrights were worthy of the investment of 20th Century Fox, not to mention that the box office would not guarantee that the film company would lose money.
Moreover, this is a 50% box office dividend, and Kim Yu-fan did not require a 50% box office dividend, but only required a 35% box office dividend. It seems that Twentieth Century Fox can earn more.
Well, no, it should be said that Hollywood film companies will make more money. According to Jim Giannopros's understanding of the CEOs of other film companies, Jim Giannopros is almost certain that once Kim Yu-fan really leaves Twentieth Century Fox with the copyright of the last two sequels of the Twilight movie series, and find other film companies to ask for investment in filming, it is estimated that any film company Kim Yu-fan will not have any refusal or hesitation at all.
Damn, according to the current box office results of the movie "Twilight? Lunar Eclipse", it is at least 700 million US dollars. Investing 100 million US dollars, the global box office is 700 million US dollars, the film company has 350 million US dollars, and Kim Yu-fan's 35% box office dividends take away 120 million US dollars. Including the cost of 100 million US dollars, there is still 130 million US dollars to make. More importantly, the copyright and peripheral interests of the movie. As long as the movie itself has a great influence, high popularity and high box office, the surrounding interests will definitely not disappoint any film company.
"35%, 35%, this, this..." To understand this, Jim Giannopros looked at Kim Yu-fan awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Okay, Jim, I know that although you are the CEO, you can't make the decision on this matter yourself. You can go back and discuss with other board members. In short, the 35% box office dividend is my bottom line, and there is nothing to talk about."
Kim Yu-fan sat down again and said calmly: "The 35% box office dividend is the basis. Only when this matter is negotiated can we continue to talk about the pay and crew rights. I have a few days to go back to Korea, and a few days will be enough. I hope you can give me a specific answer before I return to Korea. If 20th Century Fox still cannot give me an answer before I return to Korea, then I will take the copyrights of the last two sequels of the Twilight movie series to find other film companies to seek cooperation."
Jim Giannopros's face changed, and he opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Kim Yu-fan's firm eyes, he knew that this was Kim Yu-fan's last bottom line. In the end, Jim Giannopros didn't say anything else, but just sighed, nodded to Kim Yu-fan and said that he would go back to discuss this matter with the board members. After Kim Yu-fan replied to Kim Yu-fan before returning to South Korea, he turned around and left.
Watching Jim Giannopros leave, Kim Yu-fan's lips did not rise slightly. Is there a 35% box office? Of course, it's more. If the whole Hollywood actors calculate the box office dividends, they are all at the top level.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have the absolute initiative now, and 20th Century Fox has always targeted me. After all, I look down on myself and think that I am an Asian actor and a rookie who has just come to Hollywood to bully me at will.
Since that's the case, there is no need to be polite. If you want to play, just have a good time. Anyway, with that contract, Twentieth Century Fox has no choice but to do it according to its own wishes.
Is the 35% box office dividend very high? It is indeed high, but it is not that excessive. Not to mention the 35% box office dividend, even if it is a 50% box office dividend, now 20th Century Fox has to grit his teeth and agree to his request, unless 20th Century Fox really completely abandons the interests of the last two sequels of the Twilight movie series.
Is this possible? It is obviously impossible. Let’s not talk about the benefits of the two movies in the "Twilight" movie series at least over a billion dollars, and the two sequels can form a complete "Twilight" movie series. This will become a movie in the 20th Century Fox's film library in the future, which is also of great benefit to 20th Century Fox.
After all, the three current movies in the "Twilight" movie series are enough to prove one thing, that is, in the history of film, there has never been any movie that can make the "Twilight" movie series completely crazy for female fans around the world. No movie can make female fans around the world so crazy, and even exud shocking power.
This is the reality. Before the "Twilight" movie series, no one would have thought that female movie fans could also exude such huge energy, which can give a movie that everyone thinks is rubbish, a movie that has no reputation, to the box office championship, and to sensation the world with box office results, so that every movie in the "Twilight" movie series can be just a garbage, no reputation, to be given to any big, blockbuster movie series, and not at all.
Therefore, even if the "Twilight" movie series is over now, the influence and stimulation of the "Twilight" movie series on female fans will never disappear. Perhaps ten years later, twenty years later, when Twentieth Century Fox restarts the "Twilight" movie series, it will continue to cause madness among female fans all over the world, just as it will now give the restarted "Twilight" movie series to the throne of the global box office champion, making the movie big box office.
This is a very normal phenomenon. Look at the "oo7" series, the "Man" series, the "Batman" series, etc. The older ones have been around for decades, but now they are restarted and the effect is also very good and very popular. Each movie has become the focus of attention of countless movie fans before it was released, and after it was released, it has also become the focus of global box office.
If the five films of the "Twilight" movies are all copyrighted in the 20th Century Fox and become the 20th Century Fox film library, they can continue to be remade in the future. For the "Twilight" movie series, it can be so crazy and exciting to female fans' movie series. I believe that as long as a period of time is separated, every remake will cause the crazy of female fans. Once female fans are crazy, they will also bring huge box office revenue to 20th Century Fox.
Once Kim Yu-hwan leaves Twentieth Century Fox with the remaining two sequels and works with other film companies, this is equivalent to the "Twilight" movie series being divided into two and becoming the copyright owned by the two film companies.
This makes the Twilight movie series imperfect, at least for Twentieth Century Fox. Many years later, when Twentieth Century Fox restarted the Twilight movie series, at most, the third one could only be filmed, and the remaining two could not be filmed, because the copyrights of the remaining two movies were from other film companies.
Moreover, when Twentieth Century Fox remakes the Twilight movie series, the film company with the last two sequels can also re-film it and can fight the ring at that time, either side will not have a good time.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary and there is no way, any film company will ensure the integrity of the film series as much as possible, which is undoubtedly true.
"If you do this, aren't you really worried that Twentieth Century Fox will settle the score with you after the end of the "Twilight" movie series?" Just as Kim Yu-fan was still silent, James Steve's voice suddenly rang in Kim Yu-fan's ears.
Kim Yu-fan turned his head and looked at him. He saw James Steve coming from the side with a smile, and sat down next to Kim Yu-fan. He looked at Kim Yu-fan with a smile: "From my understanding of Jim, it is obvious that Jim is not a good person. This time you have wiped out his face, and even made him, the CEO, be dissatisfied and criticized by the board members. When the "Twilight" movie series ends, Jim will definitely cause trouble for you, and there is no doubt that this is."
"Haha, of course, I have considered this matter." Kim Yu-fan shrugged and said calmly: "But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I just think that I can't see the distance. Anyway, I have to eat the benefits of the present. Since I have been a little disastrous, there is nothing to say. I simply open my mouth and fight for some benefits for myself. As for the future, I will talk about it in the future. Anyway, I'm still young, and at worst I can go back to Asia to continue to be my king, let alone you, I don't believe that 20th Century Fox can completely ban me. In terms of absolute interests and face, banning is a joke."
"Haha, of course, at least from the copyrights of the novels you have bought me over the years, I can see that you are not an impulsive person, but a very patient and long-term vision. I think those novels are very good. They are made into movies, with high box office, and those who can compete for Oscars for awards. I believe that even if the 20th Century Fox bans you, we have an absolute way to break through the ban network set up by the 20th Century Fox."
Kim Yu-fan smiled and looked at the sea in the distance: "Now, I am somewhat looking forward to the 20th Century Fox being able to ban me. Only by breaking through the banned state by 20th Century Fox can I shock the entire Hollywood, completely gain the acceptance and recognition of Hollywood, and gain a foothold in Hollywood." (To be continued.)
