Chapter 405: Bullish Disney
The sunshine in California is still very powerful, just got off the plane, Jin Yufan felt the power of the California sunshine, although it is already December, but in California, the United States, it is not as cold as South Korea, on the contrary, the temperature of about 15 degrees can make people wear comfortable casual clothes, you can travel in California......
Of course, this refers to the weather in Los Angeles, but if it's northern California, it's a different story.
This time when he came to the United States, Jin Yufan only came to the United States with Lu He, and did not take anyone with him, and walked out of the airport directly, and saw the energetic James Steve smiling and walking up with open hands.
Seeing James Steve, Jin Yufan couldn't help laughing, and also opened his hands to meet him.
"Hey, Boss, welcome to the City of Angels!" the two hugged each other tightly and then patted each other on the back before letting go. James Steve first glanced at Jin Yufan a few times, and then said with a smile.
"Hehe, thank you, James, you look very good, it seems that you have had a good time during this time. "For James Steve, Jin Yufan is still more respectful.
That's right, it's respect, an independent agent like James Steve, who can be called a legend in the United States, Jin Yufan from the beginning of curiosity to the end of understanding, is respect.
At this moment, Jin Yufan sometimes sighs that he is so lucky that he can unexpectedly meet James Steve, and the common-sense invitation also unexpectedly obtained the consent of James Steve and became his agent.
You know, James Steve is not the most legendary independent agent, so when it comes to his ability to work, there is absolutely no doubt about it.
Kim Yu-beom has no doubt that if it weren't for the excesses of those record companies in the United States. If you back down a little, don't force James Steve to agree to all aspects of his conditions, maybe James Steve is already the agent of a certain or even several Grammy kings and queens at this time, where can he still get his turn.
If nothing else, let's talk about James Steve's ability to work. It definitely made Jin Yufan sigh.
Although James Steve is a professional singer agent, it doesn't mean that James Steve can't do well in other fields.
Look at the K Studio created by James Steve for Jin Yufan, which has turned Jin Yufan headlong into the unfamiliar field of fiction, and also displayed Jin Yufan's novel career in the United States.
Reasonable arrangements for the publication of the "Twilight" novel series and the "Percy Jackson" novel series. The endless propaganda methods and surprising methods have achieved very great results and results.
and James Steve's negotiation skills, which can almost be rated as S-level, also helped Jin Yufan kill all parties when the novel was published and negotiated with the publishing house, and made enough profits.
Although he didn't do the math carefully, Kim Yu-beom estimated that with the help of James Steve, the benefits of these two novel series were maximized. This alone has brought Jin Yu Fanduo nearly $20 million in income.
That's all. It is enough to prove James Steve's professional ability, and it is also Jin Yufan who is very bold to pay five million dollars as a reward for James Steve and K Studio.
Of course, this is still a small profit, and in James Steve's plan, the market for book lovers is now solid. For a while, relying on the publication of novels, as before, the benefits could not be maximized.
Therefore, James Steve deliberately gave Jin Yufan a plan, that is, to temporarily stop the publication of the novel. Directly meet the requirements of major Hollywood film companies and directly put the novel on the big screen.
has a huge group of book fans, this is the guarantee of the box office, as long as the movie can have a good box office at that time, it will be convenient to negotiate with the publishing house in the future, and Jin Yufan can get more income.
As for how much more income, James Steve said calmly that if the two novel series are put on the big screen, as long as the global box office reaches 100 million US dollars, then the novel publishing can bring Jin Yu Fanduo 10 million US dollars.
If the global box office can reach $300 million, then at least in terms of novel publishing, it will bring more than $20 million to Kim Yufan. If it's more than $50 million, James Steve says he hasn't thought about it yet.
Nima, you can increase your income by tens of millions of dollars at every turn, this is 10 billion won, what is there to hesitate, you have to come to the United States in person, come to Los Angeles.
This time, it was also the killing of Kim Yufan by Lee so-man, Park Jin-young and others, which made Jin Yu-fan make up his mind, in fact, even if he didn't kill him, after a period of entanglement, Jin Yu-fan would choose to come to the United States and deal with the matter of putting the novel on the big screen as soon as possible.
Nima, this is a minimum income of 10 million US dollars, although Jin Yufan can say that money is a string of numbers for himself, but after all, this money is still on Facebook, at this time, Jin Yufan will not be stupid to take out the shares and sell them, can make an extra 10 million US dollars, Jin Yufan is of course also excited, it is impossible to give up.
If nothing else, $10 million in revenue is enough to maintain the current MC company operating for at least five years with dollar revenue.
"Thank you, this is all from you, Boss, otherwise, maybe I would still be fighting wild dogs in a corner now, and I would have starved to death. Hearing Jin Yufan's words, James Steve's eyes flashed with a trace of emotion, and James Steve has always been very grateful to Jin Yufan who sent charcoal in the snow and saved himself from fire and water.
Don't think that Americans don't know how to be grateful and grateful, they will only be based on their own interests, although most Americans are like this, but once there is a person who values feelings, then he definitely attaches great importance to feelings and knows how to be grateful.
Although this aspect is more common to black people, James Steve is also a person of the same character. Because of this, James Steve will do his best to help Kim Yufan manage American affairs.
You must know that with James Steve's ability and fame, there have been countless record companies and film companies during this time, waving money to tempt James Steve, but in the end he was rejected by James Steve.
"Huh. James, you're so polite. Jin Yufan naturally knew that James Steve was a person who valued feelings and knew how to be grateful, so he didn't say anything, just patted James Steve on the shoulder and signaled the other party not to think too much.
"Hehe, look at me. It's strange that people will think crankily when they are old, I am still a little short of forty years old, why do I suddenly get old. Feeling Jin Yufan's understanding, James Steve suddenly laughed and touched his head, shrugged his shoulders and said with a self-deprecating and funny face.
"Okay, Boss, since you're here, then I'll go, you know this time. I'm not as bothered by Hollywood studios. Boss, it's good that you're here, and today the Disney people are here again, and I've long been annoyed by them, and now that Boss you're here, I can finally be liberated. ”
Took Jin Yufan and Lu He into the car, a Hummer, I didn't expect James Steve, a Sven person, to like such a man's car.
Sit in the car. Hearing James Steve's complaint, Jin Yufan couldn't help laughing: "Okay James." Knowing that you have worked hard, now that I am here, you can be liberated for the time being. ”
Of course, Jin Yufan will not be angry because James Steve is lazy and leaves things to his boss, after all, some things still need Jin Yufan himself to be in a better situation.
An hour later. Led by James Steve, Kim Yufan and Luch walked into their own K studio for the first time, and the first thing they did was to enter the office and meet with Disney representatives. Let's talk about bringing the "Twilight" novel series and the "Percy Jackson" novel series to the big screen.
The result of the talks, which can be said to make Jin Yufan very depressed, not even angry, just depressed.
Jin Yufan couldn't figure it out, I don't know who gave Disney and the representative in front of him so much self-confidence, and he was so proud, big brother, you first figured it out, this time you came here to beg for yourself, this is the attitude of begging people, no matter how you look at it, I think it's me who came to beg you Disney.
"Well, that's it, we Disney don't work with Asians, it's a waste of my time. Under the squinting eyes of Kim Yu-fan and James Steve, the Disney representative, a middle-aged man in his forties, got up and left the office with his head held up proudly.
"Disney, right!" As the Disney representative left, Jin Yufan's eyes suddenly exuded a murderous aura.
was underestimated, completely underestimated, and was racially discriminated and insulted by the other party, if it weren't for Jin Yufan's strong self-control now, maybe he would kill the other party directly.
From this moment on, Disney has been blacklisted by Kim Yu-beom, almost cutting off the possibility of cooperation between the two sides in the future. This also made Jin Yufan ignore Disney's reasons when he rose crazy in the future, and it also made the angry Disney directly fire this representative, and even because of Jin Yufan's scenery and popularity at that time, major film companies were unwilling to accept this representative who made Jin Yufan hate.
Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Jin Yufan's body, James Steve couldn't help but shudder, and glanced at Jin Yufan carefully, who was squinting at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.
James Steve is a very smart person, from the time he started working for Jin Yufan, he has a detailed investigation and understanding of Jin Yufan's Xiaobo SS, Jin Yufan's news and every move in the Korean and Chinese entertainment circles, and even many things Jin Yufan himself has forgotten, James Steve can remember clearly.
Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Jin Yufan's body, as well as the eyes that squinted and didn't know what to think, James Steve knew that his little boss was really angry.
Thinking of this, James Steve couldn't help but explain: "Actually, Disney is like this, casting a wide net to find pearls, anyway, they have a lot of money, they don't care about this little money, as long as they can seize one out of ten opportunities, they can get a lot of income." This is not only the case for Dinis, but also for almost all eight major Hollywood film companies, which is also the so-called big fish eating small fish. ”
Speaking of this, James Steve glanced at Jin Yufan, but Jin Yufan still had the same expression and did not say anything: "Actually, Disney was originally not very interested in the two novel series "Twilight" and "Percy Jackson", but considering the current popularity of these two novels. There are a lot of book lovers, just try it. If you want to talk about the eight major film companies I have been in contact with, Disney should be the most insincere film company. ”
"Oh, why?" Hearing James Steve's words, Kim Yu-beom was very curious about why he was not interested in his novels. There is a general reason.
"The reason is very simple, there are three points in total!" James Steve gestured three fingers and waved in front of Jin Yufan: "First of all, Disney has a lot of money, has countless resources, and there is never a shortage of excellent movies and scripts. Won't take it very seriously. ”
"Then, in the end, Disney is more focused on cartoons, which is the core and competitiveness of Disney, as for movies, it doesn't matter, anyway, there are cartoons, whether there are live-action movies, for Disney. It doesn't matter at all. ”
Jin Yufan agrees with this very much. If you want to say that the eight major Hollywood film companies, in the final analysis, they are all on par with you, but if you really compare, they still have their own advantages.
For example, MGM Pictures is one of the eight major film companies, whether it is an excellent film or an award record. They are all among the eight major film companies.
The same is true for Disney, if you want to say that the eight major Hollywood studios, and even the whole world, say cartoons. Disney admits second, and no one dares to admit first.
Disney is the kingdom of cartoons, the kingdom of dreams, which started with cartoons, developed and grown, and even now makes live-action movies, but the relationship between cartoons and Disney is too deep, and Disney will only produce cartoons forever.
"The final reason is that Disney currently has several popular movie series that have a good reputation and a good box office. So for Boss's "Twilight" and "Percy Jackson" novel series, Disney is not a necessity or a desire for it. ”
"Oh, how many movie series does Disney have?" Listening to James Steve's words, Jin Yufan couldn't help but ask in surprise.
No way, this is Disney, if it were to be replaced by another film company, Jin Yufan would definitely not be so surprised, but to say that Disney, a professional cartoonist, can have several movie series, and it is also a movie series with good popularity, reputation and box office, which makes Jin Yufan a little surprised, and even feels a little unlikely.
"Of course, Disney owns the film ownership of the "Chronicles of Narnia" series, the "National Treasure" series, and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, so naturally it is not so eager to get the film series based on the two novels. James Steve shrugged his shoulders and said with some confusion: "God knows, how can Disney, who plays cartoons, have so many really good movie series." ”
After listening to James Steve's explanation, Jin Yufan couldn't help but be stunned, and then could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Nima, a professional animation film company, can have such three wonderful series of movies, no wonder Disney is so awesome, in the final analysis, people are confident, for the film series adapted from Jin Yufan's two novel series, it is completely dispensable.
The "Chronicles of Narnia" movie series is a typical magic series, and it is one of the four major international fantasy series that can be ranked by the judges alongside the "Harry Potter" series, the "Lord of the Rings" series and the "Twilight" series.
Especially the first part of "The Chronicles of Narnia", the global box office reached a terrifying 700 million US dollars, and with such a high box office, itself is also very influential and word-of-mouth, Disney really does not need "Twilight" and "Percy Jackson", which also belong to the magic series.
If the "Chronicles of Narnia" movie series is very popular, then Nicolas Cage starring in the "National Treasure" movie series is a high-reputation movie, at least in the United States, the reputation is still very good, and fans are still happy to buy it.
As for the last "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, Jin Yufan said that he was directly speechless, there is nothing to say, the absolute high-grossing movie series, the first one has a global box office of 650 million US dollars, the second one has directly reached a terrifying 1o US dollars, the third is 960 million US dollars, and the fourth is also 1o US dollars!
Nima, this terrifying ability to attract money is definitely the most gold-absorbing movie series, even Jin Yufan, who has high hopes for "Twilight", can only helplessly say that in terms of gold absorption, the "Twilight" series is indeed inferior to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. (Don't talk about the "Harry Potter" series, and don't look at how many films have been made, if only four films are made, compared to the first four, if the box office of the four movies is combined, the box office of "Harry Potter" really can't beat "Pirates of the Caribbean".) )
"Okay James, I won't say anything, Disney will forget it, just don't cooperate in the future. "Nima, with such three classic movie series, what else does Jin Yufan have to say, people do have a powerful movie series, so the demand is not high at all, the attitude is naturally arrogant, and it is normal for the cooperation intention to be insincere.
"Well, I know, I won't cooperate in the future. Although Jin Yufan used a very casual tone, James Steve knew Jin Yufan's character, and now that he said that he would not cooperate, then he would not cooperate and would not cooperate again in the future.
James Steve is not stupid like some people, stupidly telling his boss not to be impulsive, this is with his own temper, with his own temper, with himself can't get along with himself, if you really do this, that's called stupid.
To be a good employee, you not only need to be excellent at work, but also need to be obedient, and your boss will do whatever you want, unless you plan to quit your job.
However, so far, James Steve has said that he has enjoyed working at Studio K, under Kim Yu-beom, and does not plan to quit his job. (To be continued......)
