The first sentence of Jim Ganopoulos is about the shooting of the last movie series of "Twilight". Whether it is Jim Ganopoulos or Twentieth Century Fox, it is normal and fine.

But in Kim Yu-fan's view, Jim Ganopoulos's first sentence made him full of shadows on the next competition for the male lead of "Martian Rescue".

Kim Yu-fan doesn't believe Jim Ganopoulos, a mature guy, doesn't know why he came here, but Jim Ganopoulos didn't mention a word, but instead told him about the last movie in the Twilight movie series.

What this means is not the most obvious thing, that is, Jim Ganopoulos doesn't intend to mention the movie "Martian Rescue" to himself, which also means that in Jim Ganopoulos's mind, Matt Damon is the first choice for the protagonist of the movie "Martian Rescue" rather than himself.

Otherwise, Jim Ganopoulos would not have reacted like this, and Kim Yu-fan would not believe it. If he became Matt Damon, Jim Ganopoulos would definitely talk to Matt Damon about the movie "Martian Rescue" in the first sentence, and would continue to persuade Matt Damon to take on the movie.

Well, Jim Ganopoulos' attitude and reaction are actually the best proof.

Kim Yu-fan was helpless and for the first time he deeply felt how difficult it is for an Asian actor to succeed in Hollywood.

There are too many people in Hollywood who discriminate against Asian actors. Even if it creates great benefits and income for 20th Century Fox, this cannot change the view and attitude of 20th Century Fox towards himself.

Damn, you should know that the United States is a country with interests first. As long as it can bring benefits, no matter who it is, it is a master and a guest of honor. Didn’t Kim Yu-fan bring huge benefits to 20th Century Fox? It’s obvious that it is not, but Jim Ganopoulos’s attitude still clearly told Kim Yu-fan something.

Even if Americans emphasize interests first, discrimination and despise Asian actors, or with certain racial discrimination and regional discrimination, are even more important than interests.

It’s rather not to have benefits, but it’s very difficult to get recognition.

At this moment, whether Kim Yu-fan or James Steve, he was basically in a state of silence. The two knew very well that they probably wouldn't have the final result of this meeting with Jim Ganopoulos.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. But soon, Kim Yu-fan's eyes became firmer. Since that's the case, there was no need for me to continue to grind with Jim Ganopoulos. Without the male lead "Martian Rescue", I wouldn't be able to survive.

Kim Yu-fan is not a person who likes to be angry, nor is he who doesn't say anything after suffering losses. Since 20th Century Fox looks down on him, there is no need to be sluggish and slapped on him. It's meaningless, but he will be looked down upon by others.

Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan didn't say anything nonsense, so he asked Jim Ganopoulos, "Jim, you probably know the purpose of my coming this time. Now I want to confirm it for the last time. What do you think? The male lead of "Martian Rescue", I am really that unsuitable. I am so active in competing for this role, and I can't even compare to Matt Damon's rejection. I am so proactive, but you ignore me and go directly to pursue Matt Damon. This is your attitude and your decision?"

Although I have known for a long time that Kim Yu-hwan is not an ordinary Asian actor, his rich wealth can definitely be considered a rich man and has a strong personality. This is because Kim Yu-hwan has absolute rights in the crew of the "Twilight" movie series, and even drove away a producer arranged by 20th Century Fox and constantly demanded increased production funds, and his attitude was very strong.

But Kim Yu-fan's inquiry is too direct and straightforward, which makes Jim Ganopoulos a little embarrassed, and he doesn't know how to answer Kim Yu-fan's inquiry for a while.

In fact, Western people are very direct in character. It’s not that there is no politeness, but they rarely appear, so Westerners are also typical people who won’t be polite to you.

As the CEO of 20th Century Fox, Jim Ganopoulos is definitely a high-ranking position and is a big shot in Hollywood and even in the global film industry. Such people are not only shrewd and capable, but also have courage and strong personalities, otherwise they will not be able to hold on.

Although he was a little surprised by Kim Yu-fan's directness, Jim Ganopoulos, who came to his senses, did not say anything nonsense and nodded directly: "That's right, our senior executives of 20th Century Fox, and many producers all agreed that Matt Damon is more suitable for the male lead of "Martian Rescue".

Jim Ganopoulos sighed and continued: "Although Matt Damon is still hesitating, Matt Damon has just filmed "Interstellar" and has achieved great success. This is what others value more. Everyone thinks that Matt Damon has just finished filming "Interstellar", so it should be easier to shoot "Martian Rescue". Even if the two movies are not the same, Matt Damon's acting skills and popularity are there, and with the success of "Interstellar", everyone hopes that Matt Damon can bring the success of "Interstellar" to "Martian Rescue"."

Speaking of this, Jim Ganopoulos shrugged: "Although I am the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, in fact, like the casting of a movie, there is basically nothing I have to do, or I only have the right to suggest, but no right to decide. The person who really decides is the producer. After all, they are producers, professionals, and professionals are responsible for professional affairs. This is natural and deserved. Although I am the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, I am just a businessman and manager, and I only care about the operation and income of Twentieth Century Fox."

"I personally don't dare to say that I prefer Jin, but at least I don't have any other glances or opinions about you. Unfortunately, I can't decide the candidate for the male lead in the movie "Martian Rescue", and I can't interfere in the crew's selection of actors, otherwise I will break the rules and will cause strong dissatisfaction among the producers of the company."

After saying that, Jim Ganopoulos looked at Kim Yu-fan lightly. He said everything he should say, and it depends on Kim Yu-fan's reaction now.

You should know that in Hollywood, producers are quite awesome. For example, the producers of 20th Century Fox, although they are employees of 20th Century Fox, are managed by Jim Ganopoulos. However, once Jim Ganopoulos breaks the rules, it will cause strong dissatisfaction from the producers for a long time. They will never give Jim Ganopoulos any face, and they will not cooperate in all kinds of ways, and even unite to boycott Jim Ganopoulos, or 20th Century Fox. Once a group of producers unite to boycott anyone, whether it is an actor or director, or a senior executive of a film company, or even the film company itself, the consequences will be very big.

The producer is very clear about his situation, so he is very united. Even if he is not his friend or acquaintance, as long as the other party is a producer, he has a conflict with someone and is reasonable first, then what else can I say? I will definitely support him without saying anything.

Once a producer in Hollywood is united, whether it is a gold medal producer, a mixed-industry producer, or an ordinary small-character producer, this impact will be very great, and it is not an exaggeration to even make a film company collapse.

And top producers like Catherine Kennedy, Jerry Brookheimer and Kevin Feige, in some ways, these people are the real big names in Hollywood, the real masters, Hollywood, and the world's movies.

To be honest, these gold medal producers have even more rights than the CEO or president of a film company. To put it bluntly, whatever the gold medal producer says is what you are. Your film company just invests money, that's all, not really being a filmmaker.

I will give you a chance, follow me to make money, or you will lose money. But in general, if I give you a chance, you will have the chance to make money. If I don’t give you a chance, you won’t even get in this door.

Perhaps half a century ago, the special profession of the film and television industry, which had not appeared in the film and television industry, or it was not obvious, the producer was still very weak at that time, and more people like a crew who were doing odd jobs, could take care of everything, but had no rights.

But I don’t know when the producer has become so powerful that he has become the master of the crew. Even investors or film companies must listen to the producer in front of the crew.

The producers are not really just having fun. To put it bluntly, there are basically no producers in the entire crew that they cannot control or cannot do.

When you make a movie, you need suitable actors. The producer has connections and connections. You can find suitable actors for you. You can even give you a list of them if you have time. Choose whoever you like, and then the producer will help you invite them. As for whether to invite them or not, that is another matter.

The producer can also help you find the most suitable costumes and props you want. Even for film companies, the producers have enough connections to allow the crew to shoot, especially when filming in other countries, to reduce the expenditure of funds and retain more funds for the crew to the greatest extent so that the crew can save more money on the movie itself, rather than spending food, drink, housing and travel.

An excellent producer with enough connections, both at home and abroad.

Take Kim Yu-hwan as an example. Although Kim Yu-hwan is a Korean, Kim Yu-hwan's connections and relationships in Japan are there. If a Korean crew wants to go to China or Japan to film, then at that time, there will be hundreds of people in the entire crew, including food, accommodation, transportation costs, venue rentals, etc., and the expenses will be quite large.

If under normal circumstances, the crew spends a day of $10,000, and a month it will cost $300,000. Sometimes, considering that the locals see you as a foreigner, they will probably kill you, and the cost is even more expensive, especially in some remote places, they are even more fearless in price increases, as if you like to eat or not, and you can't live there anyway.

But because the place is remote and the conditions are limited, even if the crew knows that the other party is killing itself, considering that it is too wasteful to go to a county or city not far away after filming, it will affect the spirit of everyone in the crew. It is best to shoot it locally, so they can only grit their teeth and admit that they are killed.

This situation sometimes happens in your own country, not to mention foreigners. As the saying goes, strong dragons do not suppress local snakes, and they will probably be slaughtered by then.

If Kim Yu-fan is the producer of this crew, he will of course do his best to help the crew solve any problems, saving more money from food, drink, accommodation and travel to the four major logistics places. At this time, Kim Yu-fan will come forward to ask Chinese friends, especially those who can be protected, for example, if you directly ask Huayi Brothers to help, many things will be much simpler, and it can save time and money greatly.

After all, what kind of shots the crew needs to shoot and where to shoot, Huayi Brothers is also in this industry, so there must be some suitable place for the crew to choose.

Moreover, no matter when you go to the filming place, you will definitely have a reasonable price with the Huayi brothers coming forward. Even if you are slaughtered, you will not be slaughtered too ruthlessly. In addition, you can ask Huayi brothers to help you, including extras.

This will undoubtedly save a lot of time and a lot of money left. You can also find suitable scenery and extras, and you can get the best results.

This is the producer's connections and energy. A person who seems to do nothing in the crew but can manage everything. He only needs to call on the crew and keeps doing everything with the phone.

Jim Ganopoulos's meaning is very clear, that is, although he is the CEO of 20th Century Fox, he is useless as a CEO when selecting actors in the crew. He will not interfere in the producer's field, and even if he can participate, the producer will not miss himself. Rules are rules, and he cannot be broken.

"So, I have no hope at all." Kim Yu-fan looked at Jim Ganopoulos and said calmly: "Or, my hope is to look at Matt Damon's reaction. If Matt Damon refuses, I will have a chance?"

Jim Ganopoulos shook his head and looked at Kim Yu-fan with a serious look on his face, "Kim, I won't say I'm going to deceive you, but the real situation is that even if Matt Damon refuses, probably those producers will not choose you as the leading actor of "Martian Rescue". Or maybe in the minds of those producers, you have never considered you at all."

Before Kim Yu-fan could say anything, Jim Ganopoulos said helplessly: "In this matter, I really say good things for you. The reason why I say good things for you is not because of how familiar and how good the friendship is. The reason why I speak for you is entirely because of the overall interests of Twentieth Century Fox. After all, you still have the last film contract with us in the Twentieth Century Fox. If you are dissatisfied with us because of this role, this is definitely not what I want to see. At the same time, our Twentieth Century Fox will also suffer a lot of losses."

"So, for the sake of simple interests, I have to speak for you. I am different from those producers. I am considering the overall interests of Twentieth Century Fox. I have to consider your reaction and attitude. Unfortunately, this is useless at all. For those producers, I simply ignored my suggestions, and even didn't even consider my proposal."

Speaking of this, Jim Ganopoulos smiled helplessly: "The producers are so awesome. Even in their opinion, I am just a businessman with only money left, and I am looking down upon by them at all. I guess I am still laughing at us businessmen who want to enter the movie industry. This is simply a big joke."

"Well, I admit that in some ways, although I am the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, I really have no choice but to deal with those producers. Because they can really not miss us, at worst they can leave Twentieth Century Fox directly, go to other film companies, or rely on their own connections and relationships, and there is no shortage of invitations and income."

Kim Yu-fan nodded. The producer is indeed the most powerful person in the entire crew. You really can't say it if you want to be more specific. But in a certain way, the producer seems to be able to manage everything in the crew and interfere. And once you intervene, it is basically the final opinion.

"Jim, I really want to ask why your producers are so opposed to Kim as the leading actor in "The Mars Rescue". Even if Kim is a yellow-skinned Asian, there is no need to refuse so simply, or even directly, this is completely without room for negotiation."

At this time, James Steve asked: "Why did King and Twentieth Century Fox work together very happily and successfully created the successful IP of the "Twilight" movie series. Whether it is in terms of interests or under the good foundation of cooperation between the two parties, there is no need to refuse so thoroughly?"

Jim Ganopoulos looked at James Steve, then looked at Kim Yu-fan with a calm face: "You two really don't know why, okay..."
