Chapter 940: The Baptism of the American Media

In fact, even if Simon doesn't mention it to himself, Jin Yufan will focus on his own head and hype himself as much as possible.

Because Jin Yufan knows that when a movie is released, it must go through a large area of publicity, and no matter how good the movie is, at least let people know that your movie really relies on quality and word-of-mouth, and it is not impossible to automatically attract fans, but under normal circumstances, it is only for small-budget films and independent films.

Because there is no money, you can't spend money on publicity, you can only rely on the quality and reputation of the movie, and slowly accumulate the box office.

But relying on the quality of the movie and word of mouth to attract fans into the cinema, which is only suitable for small-budget movies, real movies often can't avoid the topic of publicity.

The reason why the movie is released is very simple, in addition to letting more people know about the movie, it is to catch all potential fans in the shortest possible time, so as not to encounter other big-scale movies and snipe their box office results.

The real box office of a movie, especially in the United States, basically comes from the first week of the movie's release, and from the second week onwards, the box office will drop sharply, and if it encounters any big-budget movie, it is estimated that it will be even more terrifying.

The main purpose of the promotion is to allow potential fans to go into the cinema to watch the movie in the first week of the movie's release, plus it is advantageous and more suitable for the release time of their own movie, so that the box office can also be guaranteed.

There is such a saying in the film industry, if an excellent movie is well promoted, then it can at least increase the box office of the movie by 30% to 50%, what a terrifying number.

Publicity is important for upcoming films. There is no doubt about this, otherwise there would not be "Avatar" spending $150 million on publicity, while other movies basically have at least three layers of publicity fees, and more often than half of the movie.

This also means that the cost of making a film is 100 million US dollars. Then the publicity cost is at least 50 million US dollars, which shows the importance of publicity for the movie, otherwise, with the view of the supremacy of American interests, the producer will not spend so much money to promote the movie, and it is obvious that Americans also know the principle of paying first and then reaping.

Although "Twilight: New Moon" is not a big production, it is not a small cost, especially when it is released during the Christmas schedule, which is the most competitive schedule in Hollywood of the year. Although "Twilight: New Moon" attracts more female fans, it is avoided as much as possible from other big-budget movies in this regard. The impact is not very big, but with the release of countless blockbusters during the Christmas schedule, "Twilight: New Moon" is estimated to have died miserably if it is not well promoted.

Maybe "Twilight: New Moon" can be released for a long time, and then slowly accumulate the box office and avoid the big production of the Christmas schedule, but the problem is that the box office accumulation is slow, and more importantly, it is not safe.

Hollywood produces thousands of movies every year. There are more than dozens, or even more, of large-scale zuò alone. In this case. No one can guarantee that "Twilight: Crescent" will be released in the future, and it will not encounter the impact of other blockbusters next.

Therefore, the best way is to publicize, as crazy publicity as possible and possible, so that everyone knows that "Twilight: Crescent" is about to be released, and grab the attention and attention of fans.

This is how to wait for "Twilight: New Moon" to really be released. In order to attract more fans to watch in the cinema, it can also ensure that after the release of "Twilight: New Moon", because of the crazy publicity, many fans who like the "Twilight" movie series, especially female fans, know. When the time comes, they will go into the cinema and choose to watch it, so that the box office can be guaranteed.

Jin Yufan is not a fool, of course, he also knows the importance of publicity for movies, especially at present, the entire crew of "Twilight: Crescent", there are no big-name actors, and the production cost of the movie is not high, and because of the particularity of "Twilight: Crescent", in addition to female fans, it is estimated that there are no male fans who like it, in essence, "Twilight: Crescent" is a movie that has not attracted much attention.

Of course, "Twilight: New Moon" is not to say that it is not concerned, at least the "Twilight" movie series is because of the novel, plus the previous "Twilight: Twilight", because Jin Yu Fan Kenxin's current "Twilight: New Moon" still has a high status in the minds of female fans.

But the first problem is publicity, crazy publicity, female fans are looking forward to it, but at least you have to let female fans know the details of "Twilight: New Moon", especially the release time.

Twentieth Century Fox's production cost for "Twilight: Crescent Moon" is only $40 million, and even if it is the publicity cost, in Jin Yufan's opinion, it is estimated that it is $10 million, and he has to thank God.

In this case, it is obviously impossible to rely on funds to frantically smash publicity to attract attention, and even if it is really smashed, it is estimated that it will not be able to do other blockbusters that will be released during the Christmas schedule, so in addition to the publicity of Twentieth Century Fox, Jin Yufan must think of other ways to attract everyone's attention and attention, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting "Twilight: New Moon".

In the end, Jin Yufan decided to use himself to attract everyone's attention, considering the xenophobia and arrogance of Americans, plus Hollywood rarely has a three-in-one situation of choreographer and director, and more importantly, he is still an Asian, a young man in his twenties.

In this case, whether it is curiosity or the arrogance and xenophobia of American nature, the director sees himself as unpleasant, and tries his best to trap and attack himself, all of which can attract the attention of others, so as to achieve the effect of promoting "Twilight: Crescent Moon".

Therefore, even if Simon doesn't say it, Jin Yufan will find a way to push himself out and throw a group mockery to attract firepower. For this reason, Jin Yufan had already made preparations, and before boarding the plane, he had already notified James Steve, as well as Battisian, and escorted himself after he got off the plane.

It's just that Jin Yufan didn't expect that Twentieth Century Fox also had a plan with him, and he looked at Simon's appearance. It seems that Twentieth Century Fox has already begun to act, and has begun to promote and hype himself.

Jin Yufan can imagine that when he arrives in Los Angeles and steps off the plane, it is estimated that many media will frantically pounce on him to interview him, or simply laugh and ridicule him.

Come to think of it. Jin Yufan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and fortunately notified Battisian himself, otherwise, it is estimated that he will get off the plane by then, and if he doesn't need violence, he really can't leave the airport.

After all, the paparazzi in the United States are still very powerful, and it can even be said that they are even more excessive than South Korea's Anti, which is only better than horror. But the paparazzi have no bottom line, the more you refuse, the more excited and happy you are, and even do not hesitate to provoke you, just to make you angry, so that you can do it, so that the paparazzi can get what they want.

Paparazzi in the United States, including the United Kingdom, and many paparazzi in Europe. They are all a group of people who have no conscience and bottom line, and only care about themselves. I never cared about the feelings of the goal, and I never thought about the goal.

Even if you have a loved one who dies, the paparazzi will jump out and stop you and ask you how you are feeling, whether you are happy or something like that to stimulate you, and then you will get angry and start beating someone. That's right, that's what the paparazzi are for.

In Jin Yufan's view, the paparazzi in the United States are the most immoral and powerful paparazzi in the world, although everyone says that the paparazzi in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom are also powerful. But that's just the victory in the UK and Hong Kong, where the paparazzi are more concentrated.

In a vast country like the United States, the paparazzi can still continue to shoot content and photos, constantly stimulating the emotions and endurance of celebrities, it is no wonder that in the United States, the conflict between celebrities and paparazzi is the most frequent, and it is not new to beat people and smash cameras, and it will be revealed that celebrities threaten the paparazzi with guns at every turn, and even shooting paparazzi has happened.

If it weren't for Jin Yufan notifying Batisian before, then it is conceivable that when they arrived in Los Angeles and got off the plane, countless media and paparazzi would flock to them, not to mention whether they could get out or not, and some of the paparazzi's behavior and verbal attacks would make anyone either collapse or lose their minds.

"I've informed my bodyguards, and when the time comes, it's going to be chaotic at the airport, and I'm going to get the fire, and you and Catherine are going to get around, and when I ask the media, we'll call you, and then we'll go to Twentieth Century Fox and start the post-processing of the film. ”

"Yes, I know. Simon nodded, glanced at the firm, calm Jin Yufan, couldn't help sighing, reached out and patted Jin Yufan on the shoulder and said: "It's going to be hard then, it is estimated that those media will be difficult to entangle at that time, remember to put away your anger when the time comes, it is estimated that those damn media will be estimated to be with you, maybe they will touch you with a camera and provoke you." Although it is better to promote "Twilight Zone: Crescent Moon" by beating up the other party, I don't think it's necessary, after all, you have just started in Hollywood, and now you are not a big-name star, you have no background and market guarantee, and it is really bad for your personal development to really leave an impression of being too arrogant. ”

"Hehe, it's okay!" Jin Yufan glanced at Simon with some surprise, but he didn't expect Simon to kindly remind himself that he didn't want things to get bigger and bigger like other people, which also made Jin Yufan have more good feelings for Simon, at least so far, Jin Yufan feels that Simon's character is very good and he is a friend to make.

Two and a half hours later, the plane finally landed at Los Angeles International Airport, and the three of Jin Yufan stepped off the plane, and Jin Yufan immediately took out his phone and began to contact James Steve and Battisian.

Although Jin Yufan is very confident, if there is no one around to help him, it is estimated that it will definitely be very troublesome in the face of many media at that time, and there may even be danger.

"OK, where are you waiting for me. After practicing with Battisian, Jin Yufan put on his sunglasses, looked at Simon and Catherine beside him, and couldn't help but smile and said, "OK, then I'll go out to attract firepower first, and then you guys leave first, don't wait for me." ”

"Well, be careful, be careful, and control your temper. Simon nodded.

"Stay safe!" Catherine didn't say anything, just explained simply, and finally couldn't help but burst into a swear word, it was obvious that Catherine was not less troubled by the media, and her anger at the media, especially the paparazzi, was not small.

Smiling and reaching out to give the two of them a thumbs up, Jin Yufan turned to leave. Under the watchful eyes of Simon and Catherine, they went further and further.

"Hello, Kim can leave safely, nothing will happen. It is said that this time Twentieth Century Fox hyped "Twilight: New Moon" very much, and it was good to launch Gold, with the media and the character of the paparazzi. It is estimated that Kim Yu-beom will be their main target. I think this is the first time for Kim, and we should be with Kim and help Kim through this. ”

Seeing Jin Yufan walking farther and farther, Catherine said with some worry. Catherine has a lot of dealings with the media, but she knows very well that the media has no conscience, dares to do anything for the sake of news, and has no lower limit at all.

"It's Kim's own choice, and that's how it makes things bigger. This also helped a lot in the promotion of "Twilight: Crescent". In fact, I just reminded Jin Yufan to control his temper and not to lose his mind by the media's provocation, but in my heart, I still hope that Jin Yufan can fight with the media, so that the big news will come out, and it can also play a great role in promoting "Twilight: New Moon". ”

Catherine glanced at Simon very dissatisfied, as if she didn't expect Simon to say this, and said coldly after a few seconds: "I hate you damn capitalists." A bunch of damn vampires who don't even think about our feelings. ”

"Huh. You enjoy the attention and scenery, enjoy the high income, and naturally you have to give something back. Besides, I'm from Twentieth Century Fox, the producer of Twilight: Crescent, and I'm responsible for the company first and foremost. The box office results of the movie are to be considered. Christmas is not long left, and now it has to be hyped up. As for Kim, he is a great lad and has a lot of courage, although this time Kim is left alone to face the media. It's a little unkind, but that's also something that can't be helped. ”

"Think about it, with Kim's strength, not to mention the strength of the screenwriter and director, acting skills alone can make Kim continue to develop in Hollywood in the future, and with Kim's potential and age, it is not difficult to become the brightest star in Hollywood in the future, and there will naturally be countless paparazzi appearing by Kim's side all the time, Kim must adapt, this time let Kim face it alone, it can be regarded as letting Kim experience it for himself, and enjoy the American media, especially those paparazzi. ”

Say, it feels almost, Simon didn't say anything, took his sunglasses and pulled his luggage away.

Listening to Simon's words, Catherine thought about it herself, and felt that it made sense, so she couldn't help but subconsciously look at the direction in which Jin Yufan left, sighed, and then turned around and left behind Simon.

Simon and Catherine left, and by this time Kim had already joined James Steve, Battisian, and others.

"BOSS, there are at least 20 media outlets outside, I've already inquired, and they're all coming for you, the boss. Batisian was expressionless, and he coldly introduced the situation of the outside media to Jin Yufan.

"Hehe, more than 20 media, what, are you confident to guarantee my safety?" More than 20 media, Jin Yufan doesn't care, even if he relies on his own skills, there is no problem, even now Jin Yufan insists on practicing boxing every day, and his skills have not degraded because of retirement.

"The people we came this time, including me, there are eight of them, and it is not a big problem to deal with more than 20 media outlets. But in order to keep the boss safe, and also to ensure the safety of James's reality, I have suggested that Mr. James can leave first, and we will meet outside when the time comes. ”

"OK, I'm fine. James Steve nodded happily, and then said to Jin Yufan, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to the company first." ”

"Well, well, please help me communicate with Twentieth Century Fox more during this time, I guess I don't have much time for the next period of time, and the post-processing of "Twilight: New Moon" has not yet begun. ”

With a simple phone call at the last sentence, Jin Yufan walked towards the outside of the airport with his head held high, and the eight people of Batisian also surrounded Jin Yufan, with an average of more than 1.9 meters, and his strong body was like a human wall, which could prevent the media from approaching.

"Yes, it's him, he's the Kim from South Korea, the star of "Twilight: Crescent", and he is also the director and screenwriter. As soon as Jin Yufan walked out of the hall, he saw a large group of media appear in front of him, and he didn't know who opened his mouth, and in less than a second, more than 20 media rushed up frantically.

"Hello Kim, as the director of "Twilight: New Moon", what do you think will be the result of "Twilight: New Moon" this time, and the box office will surpass the first "Twilight?"

"Kim, you just came to Hollywood and starred in the "Twilight" movie series, does it matter what, or go through the back door. ”

"Kim, I heard that you are also the owner of a company in South Korea, and this time the "Twilight" movie series is not dead that you rely on throwing money to become the starring role. ”

"Kim, I heard that you and Kristen Stewart are in love, and someone saw a photo of your lovers kissing while filming, is it true?"

"It's said that you're also in a relationship with Taylor Swift, and now there's a Kristen Stewart, are you a playboy? ”

"Why do you think you can be a starring role in the Twilight film series, let alone a screenwriter and director, who do you think you are?"

……

The swarming media made Jin Yu's scope incomprehensible, countless questions kept appearing, and the microphone also probed Jin Yufan's face, allowing Jin Yufan to understand the baptism of the American media for the first time. (To be continued......)
