Chapter 968
After saying goodbye to Kim Tae-hee, Kim Yu-hwan calmed down and cheered up. With everyone's expectations, Xiongjiu returned to the United States with a high spirit and began to focus all his energy on the upcoming "Twilight City? Crescent Moon".
Back in the United States, Kim Yu-fan naturally returned to Twentieth Century Fox as soon as possible to check the post-processing company of "Twilight? Crescent".
Overall, the problem is not very big. As one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, Twentieth Century Fox can even be regarded as one of the eight top film companies in the world, and its strength is unquestionable.
Except for some small details and small places, which are different from what Kim Yu-fan expects, they handle all the other aspects very well. As for those small details, it took Kim Yu-fan only two days to solve them.
This also means that the post-processing of the movie "Twilight? Crescent" has been completed. Now what is left is to promote it with all your strength, and then wait for the movie to be released quietly, using the box office as the final test of the movie.
"Kim, it's not good for you. I think you have a big problem. I really don't know why you want to go back to Korea. You have to know that "Twilight? Crescent" is about to be released. At such a critical moment, you actually want to go back to Korea, just for a trivial concert, what is your mind thinking."
At home in Santa Monica, Kim Yu-fan lay on the beach chair by the swimming pool with a calm expression on his face, while Simon said on the other side with an unhappy expression on his face.
Whether it is Simon or Twenty-Century Fox, he was really very angry at Kim Yu-fan's willful behavior. If it weren't for Kim Yu-fan being the absolute core of the "Twilight" movie series, if Kim Yu-fan had a contract with Twenty-Century Fox, Kim Yu-fan would have the final say in the future. Otherwise, Twenty-Century Fox would probably kick Kim Yu-fan away with one kick, so he would not allow Kim Yu-fan to continue to be so arrogant and continue to do whatever he wants.
"Are you finished talking?" More than ten minutes later, as Simon stopped and his patience was almost exhausted, Kim Yu-fan finally couldn't help but frown at Simon and asked coldly.
Who is Kim Yu-fan? In terms of identity and status, Simon is? Even a middle-level member of the 20th Century Fox, there is absolutely no capital to be arrogant in front of Kim Yu-fan.
This is a typical identity asymmetry. Even if 20th Century Fox has opinions or dissatisfaction with Kim Yu-fan, it should not be Simon. At least it should be Jeffry Gordesk, the president of 20th Century Fox. He is also qualified.
Simon was stunned. He probably never expected that Kim Yu-fan, who had been calm, suddenly changed his face, which made Simon feel a little unresponsive. But after reacting, Simon's first reaction was anger. An Asian, a guy who had only achieved a little in Hollywood, dared to give himself a face. He was simply looking for death, not knowing that the world was high.
Just as he was about to say something, but when facing Kim Yu-fan's cold eyes, Simon couldn't help but shivered. For some reason, there was a voice constantly reminding Simon that if he dared to talk nonsense, his fate would definitely be very miserable. And it was still very miserable.
Although I don’t know, I just have such a feeling, a feeling that makes Simon want to laugh. When did I actually believe in the so-called feeling. What is this? Is it the sixth sense or the superman?
But when facing Kim Yu-fan's cold eyes, for some reason, Simon promoted his silence at this moment, and believed for the first time that he had never believed it before, or even used it as a joke.
Looking at Simon's face was like a Sichuan opera change, changing rapidly, but it disappeared quickly, and the whole person was silent. It only felt a few seconds, so Kim Yu-fan knew what the change of a person's facial expression could reach in a short period of time. It was completely the change of expression at the Oscar-level actor.
"Maybe, in your mind, I look down on Korean Music Festival, but you are not a singer, you are just a filmmaker, or even a filmmaker, you don't know what the meaning of a music festival is for us singers, and you don't know how important it is to any singer a music festival that is completely created by oneself."
Kim Yu-fan looked up at Simon and said lightly: "What's more, the main purpose of the music festival I created in Korea is to devote all my income to charity and to help those in need. I believe that no singer will support such a music festival and will not do all his strength."
"Charity?" Simon looked at Kim Yu-fan in surprise. To be honest, Simon just learned that Kim Yu-fan had returned to South Korea to participate in a music festival, but he didn't know that this music festival was for charity. Otherwise, Simon would not have had that attitude just now.
The reason is very simple. When it comes to charity, whether you like it or not, the United States is the most passionate about charity, and even has the strongest supervision and corresponding laws in charity.
Even, in a certain way, in the United States, basically everyone is keen on charity. As long as people from normal families, they will always participate in charity in all aspects. As for public figures, such as celebrities and well-known sports athletes, if they have not been keen on charity, if they have spent millions of dollars or even more donations, they are embarrassed to say that they are celebrities and well-known athletes.
Some people even said that if you want to integrate into the United States, you are passionate about charity in addition to actively eating parties and community activities.
It can be seen from this that charity has a market in the United States. Whether it is true or hypocritical, Americans will choose to have a clear bias to support at least when facing charity.
"If it's really for charity, then I have nothing to say. I was a little anxious just now. I apologize here." Simon said after a while of silence.
"It's okay, it's understandable. After all, "Twilight? Crescent Moon" is about to be released. This time the shooting and post-processing, plus the release time is already very urgent. It's normal for Twentieth Century Fox to pay attention and be nervous. If you don't have to vent your orders and fire, you will be under a lot of pressure. I understand everything."
Kim Yu-fan's simple words almost made Simon cry. Since you understand, why did you look at yourself with such a cold look just now, clearly showing off your acting skills? Do you just show me your acting skills? I really think I am not an actor, I have never seen an actor, and I don't know what acting skills are and what is real.
Thinking about this, Simon quickly adjusted his mentality. Simon was able to be a middle-level manager of 20th Century Fox, and now he has started to be qualified to participate in the work of filmmakers. His power has been continuously improved and he will soon enter the top management.
In addition to Simon's own strength, a smart brain is also indispensable. Otherwise, no matter how capable he has, he does not understand the worldly ways and has no eyesight, which senior executive would like such a person.
Simon knew very well that the global box office of "Twilight? Twilight" of "500 million US dollars" has already given Kim Yu-fan a high status in the eyes of the top executives of 20th Century Fox, because Kim Yu-fan and the "Twilight" movie series can make money for 20th Century Fox. That's enough.
As for the current situation, if Kim Yu-fan really falls out with Simon, it is estimated that Twentieth Century Fox will choose to silence and delay time, and then wait until "Twilight? Crescent Moon" is released, and the global box office of "Twilight? Crescent Moon" will determine whether to help Kim Yu-fan or Simon.
Once "Twilight? Crescent" is a big box office, there is nothing to say at that time. With "Twilight? Twilight" at the bottom, and if "Twilight? Crescent" is still a big box office this time, this time, this time, "Twilight? Crescent" will be a big box office. This also means that the "Twilight" movie series is very marketable and can be big box office.
In this case, Kim Yu-fan's physical status will be crazily improved in the eyes of the senior executives of 20th Century Fox. For a person who can make money for himself, 20th Century Fox will definitely treat the other party as a god and ancestor.
As for Simon's words, I'm so embarrassed. Although I have made great contributions to the 20th Century Fox and are a person from the 20th Century Fox, these are useless in the face of the naked interests.
After all, this is the United States, not China, and it only focuses on actual interests, not relations.
Not to mention that Simon is just a middle-level member of the 20th Century Fox, even if the senior staff of the 20th Century Fox broke out in conflict with Kim Yu-fan. If the "Twilight" movie series can be sold well, then 20th Century Fox will definitely support Kim Yu-fan instead of the company's own people.
The joke is that if you invest about 50 million US dollars, then the global box office of the movie can exceed 500 million US dollars, and the 20th Century Fox can earn at least 150 million US dollars. With such a large income, what is the middle-level employee of a company? It is a worthless slag, and you won’t hesitate to give up.
It was precisely because of this that Simon chose to remain silent. Although he didn't know how much the box office of the upcoming "Twilight? Crescent" can reach, for the "Twilight" movie series, Simon said that the "Twilight" movie series is really special, a rare special situation, not a normal situation that he is familiar with.
If it is normal, the Twilight movie series has no box office sales point in all aspects, and it will not be successful no matter how you look at it. But the global box office of "Twilight? Twilight" completely stunned everyone, proving the uniqueness of the Twilight movie series.
Therefore, in Simon's personal opinion, "Twilight? Crescent" seems to be just that, and under normal circumstances there will definitely not be any good box office. But with the example of "Twilight? Twilight", Simon was not sure about the box office of the upcoming "Twilight? Crescent" and had to choose to remain silent.
Because Simon knew very well that once he had a conflict with Kim Yu-fan now, if the box office was sold well after "Twilight? Crescent Moon" was released, then Kim Yu-fan would not need to speak or take action. Twentieth Century Fox would kill him first to soothe Kim Yu-fan's heart and let Kim Yu-fan continue to concentrate on the next sequel of "Twilight" and make money for 20th Century Fox.
"So now, let's talk about the issue of movie promotion first. I hope you and Kristen Stewart have an affair, which will be of great help to "Twilight? Crescent". If you are willing, as long as you nod, I will arrange it at that time."
Speaking of the main business, Kim Yu-fan also became serious. He thought about Simon's proposal and nodded, "This is no problem. But if I have to say it first, I must explain it clearly to Kristen Stewart. Also, I don't think this is enough. You can help me pass the message, just say that I can be sure that the box office of "Twilight? Crescent" will even surpass the first "Twilight? Twilight."
Simon was completely shocked by Kim Yu-fan's words. He dared to surpass the first "Twilight? Twilight" in dialect, what is this joke? Simon really wants to tell Kim Yu-fan, are you thinking too much? You should know that the box office of "Twilight? Twilight" is 500 million US dollars worldwide, what do you mean that "Twilight? New Moon" can have a box office of more than 500 million US dollars, how much, is it 600 million US dollars? Do you know what this means?
"Kin, have you really decided?" This is no joke. Simon had to confirm again and again.
After all, Kim Yu-fan had already had a very unhappy relationship with the American media before. This time, Kim Yu-fan also clamored that the box office of the movie "Twilight? Crescent" could break through the $500 million mark of the first "Twilight? Twilight", and the most basic conservative one is the global box office of $600 million.
To be honest, Simon completely disbelief in this, because in Simon's opinion, the movie "Twilight? Crescent" cannot tell from all aspects that the movie will make the movie big box office. There is no selling point at all, nor the basis for the movie big box office.
Once this sentence is released, then the box office of "Twilight? Crescent" is rude, and with the American media that had already fallen out before, Simon can see that Kim Yu-fan will be madly besieged by the American media and eventually have to withdraw from the American entertainment industry.
Simon didn't understand why Kim Yu-fan made such a decision. Doesn't Kim Yu-fan know that it's really very, very difficult for outsiders to enter the American entertainment industry? Kim Yu-fan finally gained results and foundation with "Twilight? Twilight". As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will always be recognized by Hollywood. This is a very high starting point compared to other American actors.
Could it be that Kim Yu-fan doesn't understand these things. He has to use the foundation that he has finally lost his luck and gamble on his future in Hollywood. In Simon's opinion, this is completely undesirable and a fool's behavior.
"It's okay, anyway, "Twilight? Crescent" is about to be released, and what I need is the publicity. Since that's the case, why can't I sacrifice for the movie as the core of the movie?"
Kim Yu-fan smiled and said, "Besides, my relationship with the US media has fallen out anyway. Now if I am arrogant and say a few arrogant words, what does it matter? Anyway, if I don't say it, the US media will not let me go. I said that the US media will attack me even more crazily. Isn't this achieving the purpose of promoting movies?"
"Of course I know, if I lose, what the consequences will be, and how much the price I have to bear. But I don't think it's okay, I have confidence in myself and absolutely confidence. What's more, for me, even if I fail and have to quit Hollywood, I can still continue to play in music. You have to know that my first career is a singer, not an actor. Even if the American media does not allow it, the American music scene will not let me play it. It doesn't matter. At worst, I will leave the United States, return to Asia, and return to my territory. I don't believe that the American media still has such great ability to ban me in Asia."
“…”
At this moment, Simon was completely speechless. Looking at Kim Yu-fan's indifferent look on his face, Simon knew that Kim Yu-fan really didn't care, not pretending.
If you think about it carefully, it is true that Kim Yu-fan has an identity. Although he is not doing well, according to the survey of 20th Century Fox, Kim Yu-fan has done very well in South Korea and even in Asia, and has a lot of industries. In some ways, it is indeed very impressive to be able to work hard for such a large family business in just ten years with his own efforts.
To take a step back, even if Kim Yu-fan left the United States, it is clear that Kim Yu-fan only treats artists as a way to pass the time, rather than a profession that depends on them for survival. Even if he is not an artist now, he can live a good and comfortable life. It doesn’t have to work so hard. If he leaves so big, he naturally doesn’t care.
Thinking about this, Simon couldn't help but smile and nodded with a wry smile: "Okay, since you have decided, I will naturally not refuse, let alone this is more beneficial to the promotion of the movie, and I can also explain it to the company. But Jin, don't you think this is too high-profile?"
"High-profile, of course high-profile!" Kim Yu-fan stood up with a smile, looking at the sea in the distance, stretched out: "I think I have always been low-key, but I seem to have forgotten that this is the United States, not South Korea, nor Asia. Low-profile seems to not work. The more you are, others think that the easier you are to bully, and they will bully you mercilessly. Since low-profile doesn't work, I don't like to be bullied, then you should be high-profile from now on. Since that's the case, then from now on, I have to be high-profile, be arrogant and lawless."
