In the following days, Jin Yufan met with representatives of Hollywood film companies one after another, but unfortunately the final results were not satisfactory, either Disney was so bullish and looked down on people, or the food was too ugly, and it just gave you face, and you kid's lucky posture made Jin Yufan really want to pick up the pistol that James Steve put in the office drawer and kill the other party.

After a week, Jin Yufan also felt a little tired and helpless, he knew before that the American circle was very xenophobic, looked down on Asians and blacks, and knew that it was very difficult for him to enter the American market.

Although he had been mentally prepared before, when this day really came, Jin Yufan found that the difficulties were far greater than he imagined, so big that Jin Yufan was helpless and even angry.

Forget about the eight major Hollywood film companies, people have this confidence, some people have money and some have signboards and influence, and they are even famous all over the world. People look down on Jin Yufan, and they use their power to suppress people and bully the small, although Jin Yufan is unhappy, but he has no choice but to endure it.

But Nima, some small independent film companies also came to the door, looking like the eight major Hollywood film companies, and even some small independent film companies are even more excessive than the eight major Hollywood film companies, and they are even more ugly.

At this point, Jin Yufan wondered and couldn't accept it, why do you dare to offer such conditions, it's too ugly.

In the end, in front of Jin Yufan, only the Twentieth Century Fox family remained, which was also the film company that James Steve was most optimistic about and thought was sincere, so he deliberately ranked Twentieth Century Fox last.

If he can't talk to Twentieth Century Fox this time, Jin Yufan can only say that he is completely gone, or he will directly give up adapting the novel into a movie, but the benefits are great. Jin Yufan knows it, so it is impossible to give up. If you don't give up, then Jin Yufan can only choose to invest in filming independently, and then find a way to release it, from the first few screens, slowly relying on word-of-mouth and influence, increasing the number of screens. Go through the back road of your predecessors.

Sitting in his office, Kim Yu-fan waited for a representative of Twentieth Century Fox to meet with him, but his mind was almost already on investing in making a film on his own.

After a week, the xenophobia and high-minded virtues of Hollywood film companies made Jin Yufan really not have much hope for the 20th Century Fox he was about to meet.

However, when Jin Yufan saw the two representatives of Twentieth Century Fox meeting with him, his heart suddenly changed his attention, and he was about negotiating with Twentieth Century Fox next. I am looking forward to it more and more.

Because, the two representatives sent by Twentieth Century Fox this time, or one of the gray-haired old men, suddenly made Jin Yufan dumbfounded, stunned, and knew the sincerity of Twentieth Century Fox this time.

The reason is very simple, that is, the white-haired old man who appeared in front of Jin Yufan at this time. It was George Lucas, the godfather of Star Wars who was famous in Hollywood, and even in the whole world.

Nima, see George Lucas. Jin Yufan was also completely shocked, but he didn't expect Twentieth Century Fox to let George Lucas be a lobbyist to convince him.

Who is George Lucas, he is definitely one of the best directors and screenwriters in the film industry, and even now, he is the idol and transcendence of all directors and screenwriters all over the world.

It's no exaggeration to say that George Lukes is a great god. And he is also one of the highest gods in the film industry.

While shocked, Kim Yu-beom also looked forward to this meeting with Twentieth Century Fox, and the fact that Nima even came to a great god like George Lukes, which clearly proved the sincerity of Twentieth Century Fox.

If you don't really want to work with yourself, you can adapt the two novel series "Twilight" and "Percy Jackson" into movies and bring them to the big screen. There's no need for a god like George Lux to come over in person.

"Hehe, obviously, my old face is still a little well-known. Seeing Jin Yufan's shocked reaction, George Lucas smiled and said to a middle-aged man next to him, as well as James Steve in the distance.

"Of course!" the middle-aged man beside George Lucas, who was supposed to be the true representative of Twentieth Century Fox this time, replied almost without thinking, and his tone was full of determination.

"Hello Lucas, I'm Kim, welcome to you. To be honest, I was shocked by your arrival, knowing that I was a fan and a fan of yours, and my biggest dream as a child was to have my own lightsaber. ”

At this time, Jin Yufan, who finally reacted, also stood up, took the initiative to step forward with a smile, greeted George Lucas, shook hands with the two, and then looked at George Lux and said with a smile.

Anyone will say good things, for the sake of this negotiation, and at the same time to sincerely respect and admire George Lucas, Jin Yufan instantly lowered his mentality and dealt with it in a way that retreated into advance.

"Hehe, thank you, it's hard to imagine that I have such a wonderful fiction author fan as you, and it makes me happy. Hmm~~~ I guess you can call me George, it will make us feel a little closer. ”

George Lucas was very happy to give Jin Yufan an initiative to hug, and after the forecast, George Lucas looked at Jin Yufan a few times, and then smiled and said.

If James Cameron is the tyrant of Hollywood's top directors and Steven Spielberg is an artist, then George Lucas is more of an affinity, a commoner style.

"Hello Kim, I'm Simon, and this time, as a representative of Twentieth Century Fox, I'm here to talk to you about bringing vampire love and demigod upbringing to the big screen. ”

Simon, a middle-aged man named next to George Lucas, is, as Jin Yufan expected, representing Twentieth Century Fox.

As for George Lucas, Jin Yufan never thought about it, you must know that George Lucas now has his own studio, that is, the famous Lucasfilm, which was acquired by Disney for $4.05 billion at the end of 2012.

Therefore. George Lucas's appearance can only be said to have a good relationship with Twentieth Century Fox at best, and this time he should have been invited by Twentieth Century Fox to help run a trip to be a lobbyist.

But as for the key to the negotiations, who to talk to and how. It was Simon, the representative of Twentieth Century Fox, who was in charge.

Simon is also obviously a very casual person, with an American sense of humor, calling "Twilight" a vampire love and "Percy Jackson" a demigod upbringing.

Well, Kim Yu-beom admits that Simon's metaphor is great, isn't this the content of these two novel series.

"Okay George, welcome. And Simon, please forgive me for always paying attention to George, you must know that George is my idol, I am one of the people I want to see the most, I forgive him. ”

Laughing and bringing George Lucas and Simon to the couch, and James Steve, the four of them sat down together while the staff served them coffee. Jin Yufan smiled and shrugged his shoulders at Simon.

"Of course, this is a normal thing. In fact, I'm also a fan of George. Simon smiled and shrugged his shoulders, looking unconcerned.

When the staff closed the door when they went out with coffee, there were only four Jin Yufan left in the entire office. At the same time, I also said that I would like to cooperate with Twentieth Century Fox, but first of all, what is the sincerity of Twentieth Century Fox, and how much?"

In the face of Jin Yufan's direct inquiry, George Lucas just smiled indifferently. Drinking coffee leisurely, it seems that this qiē doesn't care about his own business, he is purely here to make soy sauce and trick coffee to drink.

In fact, George Lucas does have the idea of making soy sauce now, George Lucas didn't plan to come over, who is Jin Yufan, George Lucas said that he doesn't know him, and he hasn't even read the two novel series "Twilight" and "Percy Jackson".

It's just that after investigating Jin Yufan in the twentieth century, plus understanding and studying Jin Yufan's character and the character of Asians, he knows that no matter how much he says, it is useless.

Therefore, in the end, Twentieth Century Fox planned to find a heavyweight to come to the town as a lobbyist, preferably a big man in the entertainment industry.

Twentieth Century Fox also considered many people in the selection of this big man, including Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver and other big-name actors, all of whom were selected by Twentieth Century Fox as a list of persuasion and townspeople.

But in the end, Twentieth Century Fox still chose George Lukes, who was more powerful, had a better status, was more influential, and had older qualifications, which was also in a sense the importance that Twentieth Century Fox attached to Jin Yufan, and the imperative of the two novel series in Jin Yufan's hands.

George Lukes did not refuse the invitation of Twentieth Century Fox, nor did he refuse. You know, George Lukes and Twentieth Century Fox have a very deep relationship, a very good relationship.

Even then, George Lukes was grateful to Twentieth Century Fox for giving him the opportunity to direct Star Wars himself, and then began his own rise to prominence.

Even now, although he has his own film industry, George Lukes, who is very affectionate and nostalgic, has always insisted on working with Twentieth Century Fox in the "Star Wars" film series, in short, Twentieth Century Fox cannot be a producer, but he must also serve as a distribution company.

To put it bluntly, George Lukes values affection and knows how to be grateful, and everyone earns money together, and he has not forgotten the trust and help he received from 20th Century Fox.

You know, now that the "Star Wars" series has become a signboard, almost as long as you shoot it, you won't lose money. In this case, any film company is eyeing it, and George Lukes, if he wants to, if he is selfish, can take advantage of other film companies to offer better terms and profit distribution, and kick out Twentieth Century Fox.

But in the end, George Lukes still didn't do this, and kept Twentieth Century Fox involved in the "Star Wars" movie series, which also made the "Star Wars" movie series become the two most famous movie series of Twentieth Century Fox, almost the signature.

Simon frowned and glanced at Jin Yufan a few times. I thought of the words and meanings that the senior management gave me before I came, and then I couldn't help laughing, I don't care about my own, I'm just a person who runs away to negotiate, that's all.

Thinking of this, Simon couldn't help but laugh: "Of course, we Twentieth Century Fox are very sincere. Otherwise, George Lucas wouldn't have been invited over. Of course, the sincerity of our Twentieth Century Fox is not sincerity, the key to our cooperation is mainly what kind of conditions you want to get, and our Twentieth Century Fox seems to be able to meet the conditions you want. ”

"The conditions are very simple, I'm just worried that you Twentieth Century Fox can't accept it, after all, during this time, almost the entire Hollywood film company is on my terms. Almost without any thought, he refused. ”

"Hehe, let's talk about it first, otherwise, how do you know whether we agree or refuse, not to mention that it won't take long. Simon shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

"OK, well, then, in that case. I'll just say that, but before I do. I'm going to explain that this condition has always been my condition, and it's the same thing with other studios, and nothing has changed, not that I saw George come and think that Twentieth Century Fox valued me. Deliberately the lion opened his mouth wide. ”

"Of course!" Simon and George Lucas looked at each other, and both laughed, shrugging their shoulders to signal that Kim Yufan could speak.

"Actually, all the film companies before me couldn't talk about the key. It's on "Twilight". Believe me, man, if we get the Twilight supper thing done, we're going to have a great conversation. ”

For "Twilight", Jin Yufan is bound to win, and he should have personal interests, and he will not let go if he is killed. As for "Percy Jackson", Jin Yufan doesn't pay much attention to it, and it doesn't matter if he can even back down a little in many places, of course, the premise of this concession is that the two sides have negotiated "Twilight" and met Jin Yufan's requirements.

"Okay, in that case, let's talk about the Twilight series first, if I think that adapting this novel into a movie may not do well at the box office, but since the company asks for it, then I will naturally appear in front of you and talk to you about it. Okay, come on, George and I are listening. ”

"Okay, well, for Twilight, my request is simple, there are two options. The first choice is very simple, that is, I don't need the adaptation fee, the copyright can also be handed over to Twentieth Century Fox, and I guarantee that this novel series will belong to Twentieth Century Fox in the future, as for my request, that is, to invest in the copyright fee, after the movie is released, no matter how much the box office, I will get 10% of the box office of the movie, the first part is like this, the second part is the same, and the last part is like this. To put it bluntly, I invested the adaptation of the novel in the film, and in the future, whenever Twentieth Century Fox made a movie called "Twilight", I would have to give me 10% of the box office. ”

After saying that, Jin Yufan stopped and carefully observed Simon's reaction. Because Jin Yufan knows that this request is really excessive, especially for a newcomer like himself, and under the premise that he can't guarantee the box office and the market, he asks for 10% when he opens his mouth, which is really unacceptable for a while.

In other words, Jin Yufan himself, who values a movie script in South Korea and asks to buy it and make a movie, the other party doesn't say a word, no money, as long as 10% of the box office, Jin Yufan will not agree.

This is normal, and it is also this week, after hearing Jin Yufan's condition, the major Hollywood film companies didn't even listen to the second choice, and walked away directly, the decisive and resolute one who left, made Jin Yufan want to say resentfully: Don't go, isn't there a second option, at least you listen to it first and then decide.

Sure enough, after listening to Jin Yufan's request, Simon frowned meaningfully, and then looked at Jin Yufan, and when he found that Jin Yufan was indeed serious, not joking, his brows furrowed even tighter.

But fortunately, Simon didn't just slap his ass and leave like other studio representatives, but after a few seconds of silence, he said, "So what's the second option?"

"Huh~~~~" Hearing Simon's inquiry, Jin Yufan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and didn't leave directly, so you can continue to talk, which is a good phenomenon.

Even, looking at the sincerity of Twentieth Century Fox, and Simon didn't just slap his ass and leave like others like others, it was very face-saving, Jin Yufan felt that he could back down a little.

To be honest, Jin Yufan really doesn't want to take the old path of his predecessors, invest in it himself and then release it, and ask for people frantically, which is simply a road of dignity discount.

To be honest, if you are not forced to have no way, who would want to choose such an extremely difficult road. Being able to cooperate with the eight major Hollywood film companies, enjoy their resources and thousands of screens, just give a little benefit, but it can maximize your interests, why not.

That's right, when cooperating with a big film company, you do have to give up a large part of the benefits, but at the same time, you must know that although you give up a lot of benefits, because of the resources and publicity of the big film companies, especially the theater resources, you can definitely let your movie be released on more big screens at the same time.

If it is calculated in this way, it can definitely make the box office higher, and if the box office is high, then it doesn't matter if the benefits are distributed at that time, as long as the box office is high, the money will definitely be more at that time.

Investing in making movies alone, not to mention the hard work, everything has to rely on yourself, and secondly, how to release it, maybe there is no chance to release it yet, others don't look down on you.

Even if it is finally released, from the first few screens, and then slowly released, unless the quality of the movie is really powerful and the creativity is very good, it can slowly increase the number of screens. Otherwise, if you die, it will only be released on hundreds of big screens, compared with the thousands of big screens in a big film company, this gap is ten times.

Therefore, if Jin Yufan is allowed to choose, he is naturally more willing to cooperate with the film company, not to mention that his investment is too risky and too hard, and it will not be released after filming, and it will be a complete tragedy if no one watches it. (To be continued......)
