Chapter 2892 meet
The next day, Kim Yu-fan brought a group of tough bodyguards and James Steve to 20th Century Fox and met Jim Ganopoulos, the CEO of 20th Century Fox.
As for Jeffrey Godesk, the president of Twentieth Century Fox, he did not see it, because Jeffrey Godesk was not responsible for the actors of these film crews, he would only be responsible for the table setting up projects to decide which movies to invest in. Moreover, the production cost did not meet the standard of $50 million. It was basically Jim Ganopoulos who was responsible, so there was no need for the president of Twentieth Century Fox to come forward.
As for Jim Ganopoulos, as the CEO of 20th Century Fox, he is undoubtedly the butler of 20th Century Fox. Of course, as the butler of 20th Century Fox, Jim Ganopoulos actually doesn't need to be responsible for things like the crew actors.
The reason why Jim Ganopoulos came to entertain Kim Yu-fan in person was entirely because of the great success and benefits brought to 20th Century Fox by the "Twilight" movie series, as well as the last film contract for Kim Yu-fan and 20th Century Fox, and the last film series of the "Twilight" movie series, is the key.
Just kidding, the most typical movie series with less investment, fast shooting, and great gains. Although there is still a big gap in box office compared to other super popular movie series, considering the production cost of the "Twilight" movie series, it is definitely a big profit.
After all, the super popular movie series like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter", basically the production cost of one movie can be filmed two or three "Twilight" movie series. For example, the production cost of "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" exceeds $230 million, which is enough to shoot three "Twilight" movie series.
For example, the production cost of "Harry Potter and the Mixed Race Prince" even reached $250 million, which is enough to shoot four "Twilight" movie series.
Although the Twilight movie series cannot be compared with those super popular movie series in terms of box office, if calculated based on production costs, the box office of the three Twilight movies, or the box office of the four Twilight movies, is enough to beat the box office of Pirates of the Caribbean 5 and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
Although Kim Yu-fan is constantly asking 20th Century Fox to increase the production cost of the "Twilight" movie series. Unfortunately, due to the theme and script of the movie itself, there are not many places that need to be spent on money, especially in places like computer special effects, there are not many shots in the "Twilight" movie, so there is no need to do it at all.
The key is that the pay fees for director Kim Yu-hwan, screenwriter and male lead are not required to be calculated in the film production costs, but are directly distributed from the box office after the movie is released. Therefore, the current average production cost of the "Twilight" movie series is almost $70 million. Although it is one more than the first one's pitiful $37 million, this is basically the limit.
In fact, the increase in production costs is entirely due to the great success of the "Twilight" movie series. The huge global popularity has increased the popularity and fame of the main actors of the movie, and the pay naturally begins to increase.
Because the actors' pay for more money, the production costs of the movie naturally began to increase. But 20th Century Fox is not a fool. Seeing that the "Twilight" movie series is characterized by a big hit, the main actors' pay and value will definitely increase significantly due to their huge popularity and attention.
In order to avoid the huge increase in the cost of film production at that time, after the 20th Century Fox achieved great success in the second film "Twilight? Crescent Moon", Twentieth Century Fox had signed a film contract with the main actors of the crew.
Like the heroine Christine Stewart, she basically kept the pay for a movie of $8 million, while the second male lead Taylor Lotner's pay for a movie of $5 million.
The reason why Twentieth Century Fox did this is to avoid the huge success of the film series and increase the pay of the main actors of the crew. Take the situation of the heroine Christine Stewart for example. If the influence of huge popularity really does not sign a film contract, by the third part of "Twilight", the normal salary should exceed $10 million, the fourth part is estimated to be $12 million, and the fifth part is $15 million.
Anyway, as long as the movie is successful and does not fail in box office, the main actors' pay will increase by 20 to 3 million US dollars at a time. Even if the actors don't care about their pay, the agents and agency behind the actors will definitely not agree, and will definitely do their best to help the actors get the greatest pay and benefits.
To sign the heroine Kristen Stewart at once (limited to the Twilight movie series only) is undoubtedly the best choice for Twentieth Century Fox, because according to the huge success of the Twilight movie series, if the film contract is not signed, the pay for Kristen Stewart alone will be tens of millions of dollars, or even more, which is a huge loss and unnecessary expense.
Although the emergence of film contracts has greatly reduced the income of Kristen Stewart and others in the future, as newcomers, it is basically up to the rise of the "Twilight" movie series, with a surge in popularity and doubled in value, and a $8 million pay is not a small amount.
More importantly, Christine Stewart and others are not fools either. Of course, they know that they can achieve great success with the "Twilight" movie series. Once they lose the opportunity to the "Twilight" movie series, they will be nothing.
Although my popularity and influence seem to be good, it is all based on the "Twilight" movie series. Without the "Twilight" movie series, I am nothing.
And if you refuse, you will offend a giant like 20th Century Fox. Without sufficient background and connections, this is definitely a way to seek death.
So, after a while of hesitation, Kristen Stewart and others chose to sign a film contract with 20th Century Fox with a fixed pay. At worst, at worst, just think that the "Twilight" movie series is a platform to promote itself and enhance its fame and influence. As long as you have popularity and influence and attention, you can naturally earn enough income from other places at that time. There is no need to worry about this single pay. The key is that your foundation is too weak and you have no qualifications to refuse.
Twentieth Century Fox also adopted the method of film contracting to reduce expenditures. Although he was cheated hard on Kim Yu-fan, at least he still tried his best to reduce expenditures. This is a very normal way for a film company to operate.
Not only 20th Century Fox, but Hollywood film companies basically do this. This is like Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, directly giving Johnny Depp's core and soul to the movie's core and soul, and even achieving a terrifying $50 million in pay. He paid the pay in one go, just to prevent Johnny Depp from participating in the box office dividends of the movie. Why? It's not because of the huge success of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series in box office. If Johnny Depp participates in the box office dividends of the movie, he will get more income, which is undoubtedly a loss for Disney.
Since that's the case, I'd better give Johnny Depp an amazing pay directly. While proving his sincerity, it also makes Johnny Depp unable to refuse. In this way, Johnny Depp has nothing to do with box office dividends, and Disney can pay less.
Well~~~ Of course, this is just a special situation. After all, Johnny Depp is the well-deserved core and soul in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, and has long since jumped out of the scope of the male lead. Basically, once Johnny Depp no longer participates in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, the outcome of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series will definitely be a failure.
There is no problem with the movie series "Pirates of the Caribbean" lacking anyone, but Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp is really important for the movie series "Pirates of the Caribbean", even surpassing the producer, director and screenwriter. There are hundreds of people in the entire crew, even hundreds of people, and anyone can be moved, but it is absolutely impossible for Johnny Depp, which is something that ordinary people can see.
Otherwise, Disney wouldn't have offered Johnny Depp an amazing sky-high salary of $50 million. According to the so-called 20 million club of American actors, a salary of $25 million or up to $30 million is already considered a sky-high price, which is very interesting.
Unfortunately, Johnny Depp is really important to the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. Is there a Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean movie series completely different? Is that good? This made Disney grit his teeth and give Johnny Depp the most expensive pay ever in Hollywood.
That's right, Johnny Depp's $50 million pay is indeed the most expensive single movie ever paid in Hollywood and even the world. After all, some real big names, especially the top actors in the 20 million club, basically have the ones who guarantee negative pay for millions, and then directly participate in box office dividends, or can earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
But if it is just a simple movie pay, without considering the box office dividends of movies, Johnny Depp's $50 million pay is definitely the most expensive movie pay ever.
The production cost of almost one movie series is $70 million, but the box office can basically maintain a starting price of $500 million. Twentieth Century Fox can get $200 million, and excluding the production cost of $70 million, it can also make a pure profit of $130 million.
Moreover, this is based on the conservative box office of $500 million. In fact, the box office of the Twilight movie series, except for the third one, the box office of each remaining movie remains above $700 million, so Twentieth Century Fox can make at least $210 million.
Not to mention, this is just a movie box office revenue. Twentieth Century Fox can also get the big IP of the "Twilight" movie series, as well as the movie peripherals, including DVDs and other aspects, which are quite a lot of revenue.
It is not only the periphery of animated movies that make a lot of money. In fact, as long as any movie has a high box office, it means popularity and commercial value. The periphery will definitely be very popular and can make a lot of money. It is just that compared to the anime movies who rely on the periphery to make money, it is much worse.
Well~~~ In fact, the main purpose of animated movies is to make money by relying on the surrounding income, especially the income in toys, which is often higher than the box office revenue.
Animated movies are actually just a special promotional method that lets more people know. But it is definitely an unexpected surprise to say that after the animated movie is released, it has achieved great success and brought huge box office revenue.
Well~~~ With the box office of more and more animated movies rising steadily, animated movies are no longer the promotional method in the eyes of film companies at the beginning, and have also begun to be valued by film companies, and gradually they are regarded as the right-hand movies.
As for the huge revenue from the box office and surrounding double-lines, it was definitely an accident, and of course it also made the film company very happy.
If it weren't for the "Twilight" movie series that brought huge income to 20th Century Fox, if it weren't for the "Twilight" movie series that had not been filmed yet, Jim Ganopoulos wouldn't have personally received Kim Yu-fan.
"Haha, Kim welcomes you, you know I've been looking forward to your arrival." When Jim Ganopoulos just saw Jim Ganopoulos, Jim Ganopoulos gave Kim Yu-fan a hug. His enthusiastic attitude even surpassed Liu Jae-suk, who was familiar with him.
"Kin, you have to know that countless Twilight fans around the world are waiting for the last movie series of "Twilight". I don't know what you think. The last movie should almost start to form a crew and start filming. After all, the other major actors are very busy. If we didn't work well with both sides, they would probably have taken on other scripts. At that time, it would be better if no one is missing in the finale, and it would leave regrets for the fans."
Well, just now we started meeting, Jim Ganopoulos focused on the last part of the Twilight movie series. But if you think about it carefully, for Jim Ganopoulos or Twentieth Century Fox, the one you pay the most attention to is undoubtedly the last part of the Twilight movie series.
Let’s not talk about the benefits that the last movie series of "Twilight" can bring, especially so many Twilight fans around the world. Although they are reluctant to leave, they are the last one. It is estimated that all the enthusiasm will burst out in the last one. It is estimated that the box office of the last movie of "Twilight" will definitely reach a new high.
Let me ask, under this premise, whether it is Jim Ganopoulos or Twentieth Century Fox, how can you ignore it and how can you not be impatient?
It is probably because of the contract for this film that the senior executives of 20th Century Fox were so hesitant when facing the fact that Kim Yu-fan competed for the male lead in the movie "Martian Rescue".
If it weren't for the last movie series of "Twilight", especially the potential value and interests of this movie, it would have been estimated that the 20th Century Fox would have long since lost to Kim Yu-fan, and would have been so hesitant there.
Just kidding, Kim Yu-fan tried every means to win the male lead in the movie "Mars Rescue", while on the other side of Matt Damon, it was 20th Century Fox who sincerely sent an invitation and repeatedly persuaded Matt Damon to take over the script "Mars Rescue", which made Matt Damon hesitate because he had some concerns after filming "Interstellar".
Kim Yu-fan is active, Matt Damon is passive, and 20th Century Fox is active. In the minds of the top leaders of the 20th Century Fox, who is more important? It is basically clear who will be the leading actor of the movie "Marls Rescue".
As Kim Yu-fan and James Steve said, 20th Century Fox is still hesitating, after all, it is because Matt Damon is still hesitating. Once Matt Damon no longer hesitates and is willing to take over the leading actor of the movie "Martian Rescue", then there will be no Kim Yu-fan at all. 20th Century Fox will definitely kick Kim Yu-fan away without hesitation.
Of course, if Kim Yu-fan can finish the last movie series of "Twilight" and kick Kim Yu-fan away, it will undoubtedly be the best. At least Twentieth Century Fox doesn't have to worry about the box office and profit revenue of the last movie series of "Twilight".
This is obvious. Kim Yu-fan and James Steve are both very clear, so Kim Yu-fan decided on the spot yesterday that if the meeting today still cannot make 20th Century Fox make the decision and still seems hesitant and procrastinate as before, then he might as well withdraw and no longer compete for the male lead of "Martian Rescue".
Because according to James Steve, Matt Damon really likes the script "Martian Rescue" very much, and he also wants to come next, just because he just finished filming "Interstellar", and the same theme type of movie made Matt Damon hesitate.
But I believe that with the constant persuasion of 20th Century Fox, Matt Damon, personally likes the script "Martian Rescue", he will eventually nod and accept the role.
Chapter completed!
