Chapter 2910 official meeting
This time, the reason why Kim Yu-hwan was able to successfully join the crew of "Spy Shadow 5" was even possible to play a very important role. The one who made the most effort among them was undoubtedly Van Diesel.
As the absolute soul and core of the "Fast and Furious" movie series, especially the popularity and box office money-absorbing of the "Fast and Furious" movie series, there is no doubt that the soul and core of the movie series Van Diesel is definitely more important than the soul and core of the movie series Matt Damon in the hearts of the senior executives of Universal Pictures.
It is basically because Van Diesel is talking to Kim Yu-hwan, and Universal Pictures will eventually allow Kim Yu-hwan to join the crew of "Spy Shadows 5". At that time, look at Kim Yu-hwan's performance and performance to see what kind of role Kim Yu-hwan should play.
When Kim Yu-fan entered the office, he found that the main actors of "Spy Shadows 5" including the director and screenwriter, as well as Matt Damon, were already present.
"OK, Kim is here, then this time the main actors are here." Seeing Kim Yu-fan's arrival, Paul Greengras, director of "Spy Shadows 5", said with a smile.
In fact, Paul Greengrass is not only the director of "Spy 5", but also one of the screenwriters of "Spy 5". However, in order to avoid the failure of Tony Gilroy in "Spy 4", this time, although Paul Greengrass is a director and a screenwriter, there are also the late Robert Rudrum and Christopher Lawther in terms of screenwriters.
Especially the late Robert Rudrum, you should know that "Spy Shadows" is a novel by Robert Rudrum. Because the person has passed away, in this case, Robert Rudrum will be assigned to the position of screenwriter. This proves one thing, that is, the content and plot of this movie basically have at least 70% of the content, and it will not exceed the scope and framework of Robert Rudrum's novels. The remaining 30% is the space for the screenwriter and director to play their own.
This is definitely a limitation on directors, screenwriters, and actors. But from another level, it is insurance for movie releases. You can play in a big framework anyway. Anyway, you won’t play with the framework, so there will be no major problems and you can get it back very well.
The final result once again proves that this is necessary, because it is within this restriction that "Spy Shadow 5" was once again successful, eliminating the negative impact of "Spy Shadow 4" and getting a successful replication that is always more popular than the failure of "innovation".
Kim Yu-fan nodded to everyone with a smile, saying hello. As for the last arrival, Kim Yu-fan didn't say anything, let alone apologize. After all, compared to the time agreed before, Kim Yu-fan had arrived half an hour in advance, but he didn't expect that everyone would be earlier than him.
Anyway, I am not late, so I don’t need to apologize. Moreover, there is no need for these false things in the United States. If you are not late, you are not late. Even if you are on the verge, it doesn’t matter, and everyone doesn’t care at all. Because before the time comes, everyone will not talk about work, but they will only talk about gossip and other topics. Once the time comes, everyone will put away their minds and cheer up to discuss work matters.
Of course, if everyone is here and there is nothing else, then the work will naturally start to discuss in advance. After all, everyone is not an idle person. It is better for everyone to finalize the matter earlier and discuss a result. Everyone prepares it earlier.
Of course, this is under the premise that no one objected. If someone objected and said that the time for negotiation of work was not yet reached and he did not want to negotiate work now, then even Paul Greengrass could not do anything even if he was a director. After all, what the other party was talking about was the facts. Although the contract was not signed, the agreed time was less than that, that was the rest time. If the other party was not happy, it would definitely not be allowed to occupy it.
Well~~~ Of course, there is no such idiot. If there is, I will not survive in this circle. I have no eyesight or no things. Even if I join the crew for the first time, when everyone discovers the other party's personality, they will probably ask the other party to the crew as soon as possible. It is definitely not a good thing to work with such a person. It will probably make yourself, even the entire crew depressed, and have various problems and troubles. Since this is the case, it is better to kick out directly, so that you can give yourself a better and more secure job.
Kim Yu-fan looked at it and found that there was only Matt Damon's free place, which also made Kim Yu-fan stunned. It was obvious that this was specially arranged, which was to arrange for himself to sit next to Matt Damon.
Judging from the position arrangement, there is no doubt that my role in the crew of "Spy Shadows 5" will definitely not be bad. I guess I am not the second male lead of the villain boss, the most powerful teammate or the third male lead of the protagonist.
Although he was a little surprised, Kim Yu-fan did not hesitate at all. With a smile on his face, he walked to Matt Damon and sat down next to him, and looked at Matt Damon who was smiling at him.
"Hello Kim, I'm very happy to see you." Looking at Kim Yu-fan, Matt Damon stretched out his hand to Kim Yu-fan with a smile.
"Hello Damon, I'm very happy to know you." Kim Yu-fan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Matt Damon. Although he was a little surprised that Matt Damon was so polite to him, it didn't matter. Kim Yu-fan didn't care. Even if Matt Damon had any methods, Kim Yu-fan was not afraid. What's more, from the people around him, Kim Yu-fan learned that Matt Damon is not the kind of slim person. Matt Damon is one of the few gentlemen in Hollywood, a real gentleman.
Even Brad Pitt and others are very disdainful of this, or they don’t like Matt Damon, a small circle of people, think that the other party is a hypocrite who pretends to show it to others, but they all admit that Matt Damon is an exception, a special one, a real gentleman.
"I'm sorry, I don't know that you really liked the script "Mars Rescue". In fact, I was hesitant at the beginning, not knowing whether to take the script. After all, I just filmed "Interstellar" and a similar movie, and I was still a little worried. But the script "Mars Rescue" is really excellent, and I finally agreed to the next one. It was only after I learned that you like the script "Mars Rescue". If I really knew about this, I would definitely not take the script."
Matt Damon spoke with a serious face, and Kim Yu-fan could also hear from the other party's words that the other party was saying what he was saying, not deliberately making a decisive turn to mock himself, nor deliberately pretending.
It's right to think about it carefully. Matt Damon did not agree to the invitation from Twentieth Century Fox before, but he seemed a little hesitant because of the excellence of the script. He had not planned to agree yet, or he did not intend to agree at the beginning, but was attracted by the quality of the script later.
Since he didn't plan to agree at the beginning, then Matt Damon certainly wouldn't pay attention to the situation of this script. For example, the producer said, who are the director and screenwriter, what other actors are there, and who is competing for the leading actor of this movie.
Therefore, Matt Damon said that he didn't know at the time, and it was really very likely. Considering Matt Damon's personality and reputation, there is no doubt that Matt Damon was speaking in his heart.
"Haha, it's okay, this kind of thing has nothing to do with you. After all, the one who decides is the 20th Century Fox, not us. After all, the 20th Century Fox also has his own ideas when choosing you. After all, I am just a yellow-skinned Asian actor."
Of course, Kim Yu-fan knew that this matter was not something that Matt Damon could decide. Even if Twentieth Century Fox hopes Matt Damon could become the leading actor in "The Martian Rescue", it would not be said that Matt Damon would say whatever he said was, unless Matt Damon said that Twentieth Century Fox's idea was consistent.
"Kim, I feel very sorry for this. Please believe me, I am not such a person." After hearing Kim Yu-fan's words, Matt Damon said a little apologetically. Although Kim Yu-fan's words were not clearly stated, Matt Damon also understood the meaning, that is, Kim Yu-fan said that he was Asian and was a little discriminated against, otherwise he would definitely become the male lead in "Martian Rescue".
The problem of racial discrimination is very serious all over the world, especially in the United States, which is a very sensitive topic.
Matt Damon also felt that Kim Yu-fan was somewhat discriminated against by 20th Century Fox, otherwise, Kim Yu-fan's acting skills and performance in the "Twilight" movie series are absolutely no problem. In addition, the cooperation between the "Twilight" movie series and 20th Century Fox, everyone has a cooperative relationship and a good relationship. There is no reason. Twenty-century Fox would not choose Kim Yu-fan as half of his own, but to choose himself.
After all, in Matt Damon, the male lead in "Martian Rescue" is actually not a character that requires too strong acting skills. With Kim Yu-fan's performance in the "Twilight" movie series, his acting skills are enough.
In fact, Hollywood movies have a major feature, that is, movies that are often made, to put it bluntly, commercial movies, and the male and female protagonists are never the most powerful actors in the play.
Perhaps, the male and female protagonists are very cool and cool in the movie, or most of them are very powerful, that's just saying that the role is good and the action is strong, at least it has nothing to do with the acting skills.
In contrast, in many commercial blockbusters, supporting roles are often the roles that show their acting skills. To put it bluntly, in commercial blockbusters, the protagonist only needs to be responsible for making the most handsome. In terms of acting skills, the protagonist is still not tired, so let the supporting roles take responsibility.
The most typical point is that in the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight", the clown played by Heath Ledger is absolutely subversive and reaches the extreme of madness. Not only does it kill all the actors who have tried the clown, but also completely defeat the supporting roles and villains in the play, completely crushing the protagonist and decency.
As long as the fans in the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight", there is no doubt that after watching the movie, the one who impressed the most was the clown's madness. As for Batman's coolness, Batman's car, etc., which attracted everyone's attention the most before, in front of the crazy clown, they were secretly floating clouds, completely covered by the clown's sharpness.
When the protagonist wants to show his acting skills and requires high acting skills, he does not come in a commercial blockbuster, but in an art film. After all, art films have always had very high requirements for acting skills. If you want to see the actors' acting skills, just go to the art film.
Therefore, Matt Damon does not think there is anything wrong with Kim Yu-fan's acting skills, and he does not have enough acting skills to support Kim Yu-fan as the leading actor in "Martian Rescue". It is estimated that as Kim Yu-fan said, Kim Yu-fan was discriminated against by 20th Century Fox because of his skin and Asian identity.
Of course, Matt Damon didn't know that this was just one of them. The biggest point was that Kim Yu-fan dug a deep pit for 20th Century Fox in the "Twilight" movie series, and pitted 20th Century Fox hard, causing 20th Century Fox to lose a lot of money. This is the key.
What kind of discrimination can bring benefits, then you are the uncle. But you actually dug a hole for me, and it took me at least hundreds of millions of dollars of money that should have belonged to me. This is to cut off my financial path. So what else can I say? Is this a grudge big?
"Really, I believe you will definitely surprise Twentieth Century Fox!" Matt Damon said seriously: "At that time, when you become a big star in Hollywood, Twentieth Century Fox will naturally invite you to film. At that time, those who have revenge and those who have grievances will be wronged. You can not give Twentieth Century Fox face. Even if you give it, then Twentieth Century Fox will have to increase your salary by 20% as an apology and compensation."
Speaking of this, Matt Damon couldn't help laughing: "Haha, increase the pay by 20%, it is estimated that 20 Century Fox will be heartbroken by then."
This is not a joke between Matt Damon, but the 20th Century Fox has increased its pay by 20% in order to invite Kim Yu-fan to film, which will indeed make 20th Century Fox heartbroken.
You know, when the 20th Century Fox in turn invited Kim Yu-fan to film, it proves that Kim Yu-fan had become a well-deserved first-line actor in Hollywood and an absolute big shot.
At that time, Kim Yu-fan's salary was at least 20 million clubs. Is it good to give a salary of $20 million, and a 20% increase of $4 million. At that time, Kim Yu-fan will need to give a box office dividend of $24 million. If it is a box office dividend, 20% may be estimated to be a box office dividend at that time. Can 20 Century Fox not lose money?
Although Twentieth Century Fox is one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, it is powerful and has been spending money on making movies from the beginning to the end of the year. Over the past year, the expenses spent on film production are hundreds of millions of dollars or even more than one billion dollars.
It's just a few million dollars, just a box office of 2%, and it seems that compared with the annual investment of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in 2000 Century Fox, it's nothing.
But in fact, things are not as simple as everyone imagined. After all, no one can guarantee that the movie can make all the money. What if the invested movies lose more box offices?
Therefore, many times, film companies slowly accumulate millions, one million, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in each movie, reducing expenses as much as possible and leaving more money on the company's account, so that they can have confidence and speak loudly.
This is also the reason why there are producers, especially several producers. In addition to the chief producer and the quality of the film, among the remaining producers, there is definitely a producer supervised by the film company. It depends on whether there are unnecessary expenses or wastes during the filming process of the crew.
Similarly, if the actor is not in the state during the shooting process, it will greatly affect the shooting process and waste time. At that time, the consumption and expenses of the huge crew will be a lot of money.
These will be remembered by a producer and reported to the film company. Then the actor will be on the film company's blacklist in the future and will not invite the actor to film in the future, so as not to waste his money.
All of this is actually saved little by little from every crew. If Matt Damon really happens in the future, 20th Century Fox in turn invites Kim Yu-fan to film, he must apologize and increase Kim Yu-fan by 20% of the salary, which is several hundred dollars. It is estimated that at that time, 20th Century Fox will really regret it. He regrets that he is targeting Kim Yu-fan for a moment, which will lead to spending millions of dollars more at that time.
Kim Yu-fan smiled: "You are right, 20th Century Fox will indeed be retribution, and it will be soon!"
Kim Yu-fan is not a good-tempered person. Since 20th Century Fox has targeted Kim Yu-fan in a semi-public manner, Kim Yu-fan will not be polite. Not that, although I don’t know why "Hurricane Rescue 3" was postponed to be released in South Korea for a few months, it is about to be released. Kim Yu-fan is ready to give "Hurricane Rescue 3" a gift to be released in South Korea at that time, which can be regarded as a big surprise for 20th Century Fox.
Chapter completed!
