Chapter 2483 The script is difficult to choose

After a silence, James Steve said: "Okay, I won't mention the Oscars anymore. Anyway, the Oscars have completely declined. The so-called actors and actresses, that is, the awards ceremony, are a little concerned. Who will care after that? Since you are not interested in Oscars, then this is very good. Your main energy in 2014 is to focus on commercial movies and continue to rely on box office to increase your popularity and popularity in Hollywood, the United States, and even the world."

Speaking of this, James Steve paused, thought for a while and looked at Kim Yu-fan and asked, "By the way, Kim, how much time do you have to spend in the United States this year, and you are focusing on movies, or planning to develop in the music industry. You still have to tell me this, otherwise I will not be able to arrange it."

Kim Yu-fan was silent for a while and calculated carefully. "The Lonely Agent" has been filmed. As for the Korean album, you can prepare slowly. Anyway, there is no formal time to return, and it will be considered as a return in 2014 in December.

In Japan, "Hot Blood College 3" plans to invite itself, but the schedule may not be correct. It is said that Takayuki Yamada and others also plan not to film "Hot Blood College 3" for the time being, and plan to wait for a while before filming it. If nothing unexpected happens, they will not film this year.

There is currently no suitable filming in China. Even if you have more of an investor, there is no place to waste your time if you count it like this.

As for South Korea, Kim Yu-hwan doesn't plan to go back for the time being, and even if the new album returns, Kim Yu-hwan won't go back, let alone participate in the ranking of the TV music program. First of all, Kim Yu-hwan's identity and status do not need to rely on the promotion of the song program. Kim Yu-hwan has always followed the route of quality and strength. The kind of songs and new albums that use the ranking of the TV music program to promote his own songs and new albums is completely unnecessary for Kim Yu-hwan.

Secondly, South Korea is definitely an irregular bomb for itself. As soon as it goes back, it starts counting down and can explode at any time. After all, Park Geun-hye has not been impeached and stepped down. She either destroyed Park Geun-hye's plan or was because of her own reasons, which made Park Geun-hye's government very embarrassed. She slapped Park Geun-hye in the face, and even caused Park Geun-hye to be counterattacked by her competitors this time.

Damn, no matter how you look at it, you offend Park Geun-hye, the difference is that you offend him to death and offend him a lot. But no matter which one it is, Park Geun-hye will definitely not let her live a good life. It would be fine if she didn't return to South Korea. Park Geun-hye probably won't have the energy to deal with her, but once she returns to South Korea, with her status, popularity and influence in Korea, there is no doubt that she will also dominate the major front pages and headlines in South Korea.

At that time, it was really too conspicuous. Even if Park Geun-hye didn't want to deal with herself and didn't want to give in, she would have to remember her because her news and updates kept coming out. That was equivalent to jumping around in front of Park Geun-hye. At that time, Park Geun-hye couldn't do anything to deal with herself.

Well, after all, I am not suitable to go back to South Korea now. The risk is too great, so I should avoid the limelight for the time being.

Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan looked up at James Steve: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be in the United States for the rest of the time, at least until November. As for the Grammy, I don't have this plan yet, or I will release a single or two, but I'm more likely to focus on filming."

"OK, I understand!" James Steve nodded with a smile: "Kin, your choice is correct. Although you also have excellent music creation talents and talents, if you can temporarily save the songs written by inspiration and wait until they are released later, your first priority now is to continue working hard in Hollywood. After all, you have been on this road for a few years and have achieved very good results. What you have to do now is not to relax at all, and you must continue to work hard."

Seeing Kim Yu-fan nodding, James Steve did not continue talking nonsense, but opened his briefcase, reached in with his hands, and then looked through it for a while, and took out several scripts: "Since you have no idea about Oscars, then there are only commercial films left. Judging from your current situation, it must be commercial blockbusters, otherwise, ordinary scripts really can't afford you, or they won't spend tens of millions of dollars on a film pay for an actor."

"So, your next task is very simple, that is, to continue shooting the Twilight movie series. Even if you are conservative, it will probably take you three months. Then, there are the scripts of commercial movies that I personally like and have box office potential. You can read them yourself, choose them, and see which script you are interested in, and then I will talk on your behalf."

Kim Yu-fan looked at several scripts that James Steve gave him, and curiously picked up the first script and started reading it.

First of all, what comes to Kim Yu-fan’s eyes are three big characters, which is the name of the movie, "Godzilla"!

Seeing the script of "Godzilla" in his own hands, Kim Yu-fan was also stunned. According to his understanding of James Steve, this guy was used to putting the things he had made to the end and the worse the things he had placed at the front. The first script he got was "Godzilla", which also made Kim Yu-fan extremely curious. He didn't know what movie the script behind the script of "Godzilla".

"The market prospects for the Hollywood monster-themed movies are very good recently. Last year's "Pacific Rim" is the best proof. Although the box office is a bit disappointing, it has indeed made the monster-themed movies begin to attract attention. Because of this, Legend Pictures plans to make the movie "Godzilla" and make a fortune with the current monster wind."

Kim Yu-fan nodded and then put the script aside: "This movie is indeed good, but it's a pity that the movie is destined to be the story of Godzilla vs. Monsters. Godzilla and Monsters are the real protagonists, and humans are supporting roles. In this movie, no one can steal Godzilla's scenery, and even the light of monster Muto can't be taken away. Although the movie is good, the box office is probably good, but it is not suitable for me."

In fact, the film "Godzilla" did make the production company Legend Pictures lose money, with a production cost of US$160 million, but the box office was US$525 million. As a production company, Legend Pictures can only get 30%, which is US$157.5 million. Including the production cost, it also lost more than US$60 million.

The only thing that makes Legend Pictures feel gratified is that the movie does not lose much. More importantly, after the release of the movie "Godzilla", it has driven the influence around the world. This is definitely a good publicity and stimulation for the surrounding areas of the movie and DVDs. It can allow Legend Pictures to make a lot of income from it, which is enough to make up for the losses and losses in the box office.

In fact, no big-produced movies should be treated badly at the box office, and the production company will not really lose money. You can make money back in the copyright and peripheral aspects of the movie, and even have some leftovers. Otherwise, like the eight major Hollywood film companies, investing so many movies every year, can be invested tens of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, or one or two movies can be sold at the box office, but more of them are still losing money.

If it is only calculated by box office, even if one or two movies sell well at the box office, the money earned will definitely not make up for the investment in more than a dozen other movies that have lost money. Wouldn’t the film company go completely bankrupt?

In fact, movies can also sell copyrights and surrounding areas. These don’t seem to be much, but they are better than the long-term flow and accumulate a lot of money. Therefore, film companies will basically not go bankrupt. For example, MGM is a special situation. Film companies are not fools. They even know that they lose money and invest in making movies. They really think that they are making money machines. They can make whatever they want, and then they can burn them at will.

This is especially true for low-cost movies. They basically never expect box office, but just expect to win awards. By selling copyright and surrounding income, they are enough to make up for the investment in the movie and even make a big profit.

Of course, the so-called movie advertising has also begun, which is also a huge income for investors. As long as it is a big production, big investment, and the actors and directors are famous, the advertising expenses will naturally be more. In this way, the production company has made a lot of money, which is enough to make up for some losses in the box office.

Otherwise, there will not be so many small-cost movies in the world every year. How can you make movies without money? You should know that many movies you have never heard of at all, but people still live a comfortable life. The shooting and acting that should be played may be more difficult, but it is definitely not as difficult as people imagine, at least more comfortable than many ordinary people. Or more than ten years later, people transform into big directors and actors, and then these movies will appear in their qualifications. People will sigh that they have also been made. This is indeed good and not easy.

James Steve nodded: "Yes, the movie "Godzilla" is destined to be Godzilla and Monsters. All the actors are actually supporting roles of Godzilla and Monsters. To be more precise, it is like the first person. Let's take everyone to see the battle between Godzilla and Monsters, that's all."

Kim Yu-fan nodded, said nothing, but picked up the second script and started reading it.

In the second movie, Kim Yu-fan was completely stunned when he just watched the movie title. He couldn't help but look at James Steve, but he didn't seem to have the ability to bring the script of this movie.

"Interstellar!" Even Kim Yu-fan, who has always been calm, couldn't help but exclaim at this moment. Because Kim Yu-fan never expected that James Steve could actually get himself the movie "Interstellar".

"That's right, it's Interstellar!" James Steve looked at Kim Yu-fan and said very seriously: "In fact, this movie has been finished long ago and is now undergoing post-production processing. But the key is that I have a good relationship with director Nolan. I once talked to Nolan, and Nolan said that you can join the movie, of course, just a small supporting role. If you shoot it alone and then integrate it into the movie, it will not become the focus of everyone's attention, but at least it can make you one of the actors in this movie."

"To put it bluntly, the movie "Interstellar" is a movie that allows you to get a seniority. In the future, you can have a movie called "Interstellar" in terms of your resume. I am very optimistic about this movie, and more importantly, I believe in Nolan. And I brought this script here, or there is no script, not to let you really act, but to care about this movie. After all, the movie has been filmed. What I mean is very simple, that is, to let you deal with Nolan. Nolan is definitely the fastest and best director in Hollywood in recent years. If you become friends with Nolan, it will be of great help to your future development in Hollywood."

"After all, you have to know that an excellent director not only means that he will continue to shoot excellent movies, but also means that the relationship between the director and the film company is very good and the cooperation is pleasant, which can also affect the film company's decision on casting. What does this mean? It means countless resources and opportunities, which is what I value the most."

James Steve glanced at the silent Kim Yu-fan: "After all, my personal relationship with Nolan is just our personal relationship. I can help you once or twice, but it is impossible to help you every time. Nolan will be annoyed and lose its effect if you become friends with Nolan and have suitable movies and characters in the future. Nolan will naturally think of you as soon as possible. Even if you don't think of you, I will help you ask, Nolan will consider the reason why you are a friend and choose or recommend you. This is the key point."

Kim Yu-fan nodded, reached out and touched the script, and it took him a long time to put down the script.

James Steve knew Kim Yu-fan’s choice when he looked at the script that Kim Yu-fan put down, especially the location where the script was placed. In this regard, James Steve could only sigh and express helplessness, but he became more and more appreciative of Kim Yu-fan in his heart.

Being able to withstand temptations, pay more attention to your own efforts, and develop step by step is the kingdom.

Of course, sometimes you have some shortcuts, and if you don’t leave, it’s a fool’s behavior, but James Steve didn’t say anything about Kim Yu-fan’s rejection this time. After all, the situation is different this time. "Interstellar" has been filmed. It’s just because of the personal relationship between James Steve and Nolan, Kim Yu-fan seizes this opportunity to participate in the movie "Interstellar". This can indeed bring a good result to Kim Yu-fan’s qualifications, but it will affect the personal relationship between Nolan and James Steve.

Kim Yu-fan is also a director. Of course, he understands that although he cannot refuse such favors, his own movie has been finished. Now you have someone arrange to take a short shot alone, and then force it into his own movie. As the director, even if it is difficult to refuse, he will definitely feel unhappy.

It's like Hong Seung-sung suddenly making a phone call, preparing to arrange someone to join the crew of "Lonely Agents" and let Kim Yu-hwan find a way to intersperse the shots of this person. Kim Yu-hwan really can't refuse Hong Seung-sung, but he must be somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. However, because of his personal relationship, Kim Yu-hwan could not really be dissatisfied with Hong Seung-sung. Then Kim Yu-hwan's dissatisfaction and anger will only be transferred to the actor who will be arranged in the future.

"The Lost Lover!" Looking at the last script, Kim Yu-fan was stunned. Although the box office of this movie was not as high as the previous two, it was indeed an excellent movie. The box office of the movie also reached 360 million US dollars, which is indeed good.

However, what made Kim Yu-fan a little confused was why James Steve would put this movie at the end.

As if he noticed Kim Yu-fan's doubts, James Steve said calmly: "To be honest, these three movies are movies I specially selected for you. The box office should be good, and there are certain possibilities to participate in. The movie "The Lost Lover" is the movie I personally have the most confidence to win you among these three movies."

Kim Yu-fan nodded to show that he understood that there are not many excellent movies after all, but there are definitely many movies that can sell well at the box office. But the key is that you also have the opportunity to participate in these movies that sell well at the box office. Other film companies, directors, screenwriters and producers, and other important movie characters, who are not familiar with you, have no friendship or relationships, will not be able to get the opportunity to participate in these movies.

"If I remember correctly, this movie should be based on the novel. I am an Asian and a middle-aged man. Is this suitable?"

"There is nothing suitable!" James Steve looked at Kim Yu-fan with a serious look on his face: "King, you are still a little unadapted to Hollywood. You should know that this is Hollywood. Since it is Hollywood, everything is possible."

Kim Yu-fan looked at James Steve and muttered in his heart: Damn, you are sure that it is not Li Ning's undercover agent in the United States. This slogan is very natural, and it is obviously not the first time.

"You don't need to consider other things. So what about the novel adaptation? You can continue to adapt it. If you adapt the movie, there is no problem with the protagonist's skin color. It's normal. The age of the character is not a problem. Otherwise, what do the crew do with so many professional makeup artists? It's not just for this. The key is that your acting skills must keep up. Take a step back and say that you are just an actor. All you need to do is to do is to do your best to prepare and then express yourself. As for whether you can get this script and become the protagonist of the movie, it doesn't matter, at least it's not something we can consider. This is what the film company, director, and producers are considering."
