Chapter 438
Simon laughed disapprovingly. In Simon's opinion, "Twilight" is a novel by Kim Yu-fan, and is adapted by himself, and he also plays and directs the movie himself. It can be said that the entire movie is completely full of Kim Yu-fan's personal elements.
In this case, not to mention Kim Yu-fan, even if anyone comes, he will probably slap his chest and swear that the movie will definitely be successful and will definitely surprise you.
If it were to meet Kim Yu-fan just now, Simon would probably fight back and sarcastically with the American personality and temper. But now, after confirming the sum of Kim Yu-fan's values, Simon just smiled indifferently and did not satirize Kim Yu-fan.
In Simon's eyes, and even the eyes of the top leaders of the entire Twentieth Century Fox, "Twilight" is just a delivery part for "Persey Jackson". If possible, "Twentieth Century Fox simply doesn't want "Twilight", but just wants to win "Persey Jackson".
Twentieth Century Fox is not actually not optimistic about the movie "Twilight". After all, there are many fans of the novel "Twilight" in the United States, with a large group of loyal fans.
This alone, if nothing unexpected happens, can ensure that the investment in Twilight can be made back. Otherwise, if a movie cannot even make back investment, it is destined to be a loss-making business. Twentieth Century Fox attaches great importance to "Persey Jackson" and will not win "Twilight" by the way.
After all, "Twilight" is an investment of tens of millions of dollars. If you lose 10 or 20 million US dollars, who will take the responsibility? If you have to lose 10 or 20 million US dollars, then Twentieth Century Fox might as well spend 10 million US dollars from the 20 million US dollars that you lost. Wouldn't it be easier to win "Persey Jackson"? At least you don't have to release the failed work "Twilight" so as not to be ridiculed by others.
The reason why Twentieth Century Fox won and invested in the film "Twilight" was not only to win the "Persey Jackson" series, but also because "Twilight" itself has a huge group of book fans in North America, which can guarantee a certain box office market.
Otherwise, for a movie that is destined to lose money, Kim Yu-fan is not awesome and soaring person. At least in the United States, nothing is counted. Twentieth Century Fox will not give you any face. If you have nothing to do, you will give you tens of millions of dollars to play with.
The reason why 20th Century Fox invested in "Twilight" was that after the calculations of internal professionals of 20th Century Fox, it was certain that the box office could be guaranteed, and even if you lose, you would not lose much. Moreover, the possibility of losing is very small, so you invested in "Twilight".
Twentieth Century Fox is not a charity hall. Since she is willing to invest in "Twilight", the most basic starting point is to make money.
After all, Kim Yu-hwan is just an unknown little person in North America, so it would be worthwhile to have a film company that is willing to give Kim Yu-hwan tens of millions of dollars to play with. Even if Kim Yu-hwan is a great god. With the American personality and temper, no matter how great you are, it is useless. If the film company is not optimistic, then it is not optimistic. If you are beaten to death, you will not give you money to play with it. You will make a movie that is destined to lose money.
This is why, the great master James Cameron is known as the most invested movie in Hollywood, and even the world. With a budget of 100 million US dollars, if you don’t spend tens of millions of dollars, the movie will not be well made.
But even the great master James Cameron likes to ask investors to continue to add funds, almost half of the movie is filmed. Occasionally, when one-third of the movie is filmed, they will say that the money is not enough, and investors must continue to invest, otherwise the movie will not be filmed.
Why do James Cameron say this? Isn’t it just that according to the American personality, you said before filming a movie started, angrily that 100 million US dollars was not enough, and you still need to give me tens of millions of dollars. Even if you are a great master, film companies and investors will probably not miss you. Either you stop filming the movie or change the director.
James Cameron has undoubtedly been much smarter in this regard. He has made more than half of the movie and has used almost all the funds. He has to invest additionally. If he doesn’t invest additionally, he can’t shoot movies. If he doesn’t invest additionally, he can’t get it back. He can only grit his teeth and continue to invest additionally.
Of course, this is also the ability and confidence to do this by the great god James Cameron. If it were Kim Yu-fan, the consequences of doing so would definitely be even more serious than expected.
Kim Yu-fan saw the disdain in Simon's eyes. Seeing Simon's reaction, Kim Yu-fan was not angry at all, but instead smiled indifferently.
There is nothing to be angry about in this regard, not to mention that Simon is quite good and suits his temper. As for Simon's disdain, Kim Yu-fan doesn't need to prove anything. Anyway, after the movie is released, the real box office results are the best proof.
Kim Yu-fan has no doubt that as long as the global box office of "Twilight" comes out, it will definitely completely change the views of the senior executives of 20th Century Fox on the movie series "Twilight".
Especially after the movie "Persey Jackson" was brought to the big screen and the global box office came out, it was obvious that it could not beat the box office of "Twilight". At that time, the two will have to be exchanged in the minds of 20th Century Fox, and they must also be exchanged.
Kim Yu-fan also knows this more about Twentieth Century Fox and knows it well. Although Simon is talking to him about "Twilight" now, he probably feels like asking himself about "Persey Jackson", especially whether the script he promised to have been completed.
Kim Yu-fan is not arrogant and pretending to be confused. After all, no matter what purpose and ideas the 20th Century Fox holds, the more than 4,000 theaters released in "Twilight" are really not fake. The more theaters there are released, the more it can win the box office, which is also of great benefit to the movie "Twilight".
Therefore, in return, the most important thing is that it is currently a pleasant cooperation with 20th Century Fox. It is better to be familiar than to be familiar with it. As the saying goes, after getting back to being familiar with it, with a good start to cooperate, Kim Yu-fan also wants to become a better ally and partner with 20th Century Fox. What's more, 20th Century Fox is also one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, whether it is influence or strength, it is the top in the world.
"I am still writing the script about "Persey Jackson", but I have completed half of it. But you know, I am about to come back to the music scene in Korea. I am still a singer after all, so I attach great importance to this matter, so I cannot complete the script in a short time, but I can guarantee that before October, I will definitely complete the first script of "Persey Jackson".
Kim Yu-fan's words made Simon's eyes lit up. As for Kim Yu-fan's statement that he could not complete the script creation in a short period of time, he was busy making trouble in the music industry, and Simon ignored it directly.
After all, the films of Twentieth Century Fox are currently very full. Even if Kim Yu-fan takes out the script now, it is estimated that Twentieth Century Fox will not rush to start filming in a short time. It is probably until the end of the year, otherwise it would just start filming next year.
What's more, Kim Yu-fan said that the script can be completed before October 1st, which is exactly what counts. Time has not delayed any. After all, a good script, even a movie script adapted by Kim Yu-fan, will take a certain amount of time.
If Kim Yu-fan was busy preparing to return to the music industry and recording songs, he would directly take out the script. Simon would doubt that at such a fast speed, did Kim Yu-fan have the intention to create scripts, and whether he would casually create scripts to perfunctory 20th Century Fox.
"Haha, this is not urgent, this is not urgent. Now we should prepare and operate the release of "Twilight" well." Simon said politely after receiving a satisfactory answer.
Well~~~The tone is very hypocritical, and the expression doesn't quite match what he said, but it seems that Simon has never intended to hide his thoughts.
Before we knew it, May 1, 2008 came, and today is the day when the first "Twilight" was officially released. Early in the morning, after simple makeup, Kim Yu-fan began to meet with the crew members, and then rushed to a famous theater in Los Angeles, because the world premiere of "Twilight" will be released in this famous theater today.
This famous cinema is the famous and world-famous Chinese Theater, a iconic building, scenic spot, and the venue for the Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles. The famous Avenue of Stars is two streets centered on the Chinese Theater, spreading left and right, and it seems like the left and right hands of the Chinese Theater.
Kim Yu-fan was somewhat surprised, and the surprise was a surprise for Kim Yu-fan, who was able to grab the Chinese theater for "Twilight" in the hands of seven equally powerful Hollywood film giants.
Although the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles has Chinese elements, the Chinese Theater can be regarded as the most famous theater in Hollywood and even the whole world.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the most iconic Avenue of Stars in Hollywood, America, revolves around the Chinese theater.
This shows that the status of the Chinese Theater is so special and so high that 20th Century Fox can still win the opportunity to premiere the Chinese Theater for a movie that is not very important. This is indeed not easy.
Although it was the world premiere and although the premiere was held at the famous Chinese Theater, the process somewhat made everyone in the "Twilight" crew feel a little embarrassed.
There is no way, "Twilight" has neither a big-name director nor a big-name actor. Even the male lead is Asian. Even the production cost is only more than 30 million US dollars, which is basically not at all attractive.
In this case, the premiere of "Twilight" is somewhat embarrassing. You can't expect countless media to come crazy to interview and report on the premiere of "Twilight".
Although it was a bit embarrassing, the huge fans of "Twilight" were still very impressive, especially the ladies. Faced with the fact that their favorite novels were finally changed and moved to the big screen, all the female book fans were completely excited and began to look forward to it.
There were no media or reporters, but the premiere of "Twilight" brought many female fans. Before the first part of "Twilight" was released, almost no female fans were fans of "Twilight" and could only be called book fans.
Of course, these are temporary. Kim Yu-hwan knew that with the global release of the first movie of "Twilight" and its success, it not only made people jealous of the box office, but also opened up the influence of the movie, gradually deviating from the influence of the original novel, and truly becoming a new movie series and brand.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a crazy outbreak in the second part of "Twilight". The box office of more than 700 million US dollars worldwide, only 50 million US dollars in production costs, and the ability to attract money will definitely make countless people envious and jealous.
"Edward...Edward...Edward..." With the appearance of Kim Yu-fan and Kristen Stewart, the female fans at the scene suddenly burst into the craziest screams.
Because almost all the fans on the scene were women, there was no doubt that Kim Yu-hwan, the male lead, instantly became the focus and influential figure. In addition, Kim Yu-hwan's outstanding figure and tough appearance have gained the hobby of American women, so the screams were even louder.
Well~~~ I have to say that American women still have their own preferences and styles for men, that is, they have a good figure and the tougher they look, the better. If Kim Jae-jung and Kim Heechul, including those of Lee Jun-ki, American women will probably not buy it at all, but will regard these Korean monsters as sissy or even gay.
Kim Yu-fan's figure, temperament and appearance are still very consistent with the aesthetic views of American women. He was originally attracted by the role of Edward in the novel "Twilight". Now, after seeing Kim Yu-fan, it was the first time he saw Kim Yu-fan who played Edward. The female fans at the scene suddenly felt that this Asian man is indeed very handsome and strong, and he is the ideal Edward in his mind.
So, American female fans began to be completely excited and began to scream and scream wildly. They used practical actions to tell everyone on the scene that in terms of the degree of fan madness, it was not only the crazy fan of Japanese and Korean fans, but also the crazy degree of American female fans was not weak at all.
I didn’t expect that the American female fans were so powerful. Although I knew that the fans on the scene loved Edward more and didn’t really like myself. But no matter what, at least I was Edward in the movie. In the "Twilight" movie, Kim Yu-fan and Edward were the same. The female fans on the scene shouted Edward wildly, which was actually equivalent to shouting and loving themselves.
Well, Kim Yu-fan is shameless and self-repair, but then again, in a sense, Kim Yu-fan's idea is indeed correct.
So, Kim Yu-fan stretched out his hand with interest with a smile, waved his hands at the crazy screaming female fans around him, and looked proud, making Kristen Stewart look away, and the most important thing was Kim Yu-fan's popularity. Although the female fans at the scene only liked Edward rather than Kim Yu-fan, at least in Christine's eyes, Edward and Kim Yu-fan were alone, and there was no difference at all.
Although he had taken over the movie "Twilight", after learning about the script, Christine knew that this movie would definitely make Kim Yu-fan, the man who plays the male lead Edward, a new generation of prince charming in the minds of young women, and would definitely gain the crazy love and support of young women.
But even though I know, when this happened, and it happened to me, especially when I accompanied Kim Yu-fan on the red carpet, almost everyone shouted at Kim Yu-fan or Edward, and no one called me or Bella. This huge contrast immediately made Christine jealous.
It is nature and privilege for women to be jealous, so when Kim Yu-fan was proud, Christine kept a charming smile on her face, as if she was greeting countless fans, but holding Kim Yu-fan's hand, she finally stretched out her magic finger and pinched Kim Yu-fan's body.
"Hiss~~~" He didn't expect that Christine, a gentle girl, would suddenly pinch herself. Kim Yu-fan, who was not mentally prepared, couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning, and then looked at Christine with a puzzled look on her face.
However, responding to Kim Yu-fan was the arrogant and arrogant way of Kristen's little conspiracy. He raised his chin proudly, turned his head and greeted his fans from time to time, as if nothing had happened.
"Jealous!" Seeing Christine's reaction, Kim Yu-fan quickly reacted and could only smile bitterly.
What's so jealous about this? Originally, novels and movie scripts were destined to make the character Edward the hero, the hero, liked by countless women. What does it have to do with me? What are you doing with me?
Although he thought so in his heart, Kim Yu-fan also knew that being mean, being arrogant and unreasonable, being jealous, and crying, making trouble and hanging are all privileges of women. Kim Yu-fan, who thinks he is a pure man, doesn't plan to discuss this matter with Christine. The most important thing is that he is worried that once the discussion is discussed, Christine may not be sure, and Kim Yu-fan still wants to be quiet.
However, in order to prevent Kristen from attacking for the second time or a small revenge, who except Kim Yu-fan knew? As he walked, Kim Yu-fan's arm was held by Kristen, and he immediately tried hard to clamp Kristen's hand tightly, making Kristen's body lean against his arm.
In an instant, Kim Yu-fan felt the softness on Christine's chest only pressing on his arm. The feeling was really good. Of course, it would be even better if the murderous aura in Christine's eyes was not so strong at this time. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
