Chapter 440: The Scenery Returns

In just four days, "Twilight" set a horrific box office receipt, and took out countless Hollywood blockbusters and productions of the same period, taking the top spot at the North American box office this week.

At this moment, countless people were dumbfounded, and some people who were not very interested in "Twilight" were also curious, and they chose to go into the cinema one after another, wanting to see what kind of movie "Twilight" is, and why a movie with a bad reputation, small investment, and no big-name directors and actors would be so strong.

Because of this curiosity of many people, the box office of "Twilight" in the second week not only did not fall, but on the contrary, it rebounded strongly, earning countless people not obvious, at the same time extremely shocking, and at the same time extremely naked $63 million.

Although the box office revenue of $63 million is really much lower than the box office of $59 million in the first week. But the problem is, this is Nima's second week, not the first week of box office.

In the eyes of countless people, it is unreasonable for a movie like "Twilight" to not fall by 30% at the box office in the second week, and it is normal for it to fall even by 50% or more.

According to this calculation, especially the reputation and plot of "Twilight" are too weak, and countless experts and media have estimated that the box office of "Twilight" in the second week should be between $20 million and $35 million.

Because of the release of the movie, the strongest box office growth is in the first week, because after the first week, many people have seen the movie, unless the movie is really good and good, otherwise few people choose to watch the same movie for the second time.

You know, this is the United States. But in Hollywood, there are countless blockbusters to choose from almost all the time, unless the movie itself is really good and attractive, otherwise, it is difficult for fans to go into the cinema to watch the same movie for the second time, and to watch other movies. After all, there is Hollywood in the United States, and there is no shortage of good movies.

But "Twilight" slapped everyone hard again, taking $63 million in the second week and $120 million in two weeks, which is simply a bunker.

Of course, ignoring fans who walked into the cinema to watch "The Twilight Zone" out of curiosity, after walking out of the movie, male and female fans reacted very differently.

Male fans can't figure out why a bad movie like "Twilight" has such a high box office result, and they are determined not to watch it a second time. Even some people with a bad temper thought that they were robbed of the money for movie tickets by "Twilight", and joined the army of black "Twilight" in a fit of anger.

Compared with male fans, the expression of female fans is just the opposite. Because the female fans who have watched the movie "Twilight" have been completely attracted by the perfect Edward in the movie, and have become crazy fans of Edward, and have become crazy fans of the movie "Twilight".

At this time, Twentieth Century Fox could not sit still. I never thought that I didn't pay attention to "Twilight" at all. Even a movie that I don't care about at all is so awesome.

The movie has only been released for two weeks, and it has won 120 million US dollars at the box office, which has already paid off, and even began to make a lot of money. Especially since this box office is only the first two weeks of release, and it is just the beginning. In the next few weeks, no matter how much the box office falls, with the current situation, the cumulative box office of $100 million is estimated to be about the same.

In this way, the box office of "Twilight" will reach 200 million US dollars. Nima: This is just the North American box office, not counting the global box office.

As far as the crazy box office situation of "Twilight" in North America is concerned, no matter how bad the box office is overseas, 100 million US dollars should be no problem, even if there is no penny, it doesn't matter, because in the North American market, "Twilight" is conservatively estimated to earn 200 million US dollars at the box office.

200 million US dollars, Twentieth Century Fox as the producer and distributor, as well as the theater chain, can get at least 50% of the revenue, that is, a full $100 million in revenue.

Excluding the $35 million spent on the production of the "Twilight Szen" film and the $15 million spent on publicity, that's enough to leave $50 million. This also means that within two weeks of the release of "Twilight", Twentieth Century Fox made money, earning a full $50 million, doubling the income.

And that's just temporary, as "Twilight" continues to be released, the box office will only get higher and higher, especially overseas, and it is estimated that $100 million is no problem.

In this way, Twentieth Century Fox can earn $150 million at the box office alone, and $100 million from the cost of production and publicity, which is still the most conservative estimate.

Not to mention, the income is not only at the box office of the movie, but also from overseas distribution rights, DVDs and peripherals, which are all large incomes. Judging by the current box office results and crazy momentum of "Twilight", it is okay to conservative $200 million.

This also means that even if "Twilight" is now only released for two weeks and is taken off the shelves, Twentieth Century Fox has already made a lot of money in the movie "Twilight", at least $300 million.

Let's ask, in this case, how can Twentieth Century Fox still sit still, "Percy Jackson" has long been forgotten, because the first thing Twentieth Century Fox needs to do now is to sign a contract with the current crew members of "Twilight" for the sequel filming.

Especially Jin Yufan, who is a well-deserved soul character in "Twilight", must pay attention to it again, such a golden egg that can lay eggs, and he can't let go even if he is killed.

So, Kim Yu-fan once again had a fierce battle with Simon, the representative of Twentieth Century Fox, about the filming of the sequel to "Twilight".

In the end, as "Twilight" continued to be staged, the box office continued to increase, which greatly stimulated the top management of Twentieth Century Fox, and they were also afraid of what to do if it was not appropriate, Jin Yufan patted his ass and left.

Although he has won the film adaptation rights of "Twilight", the problem is that Jin Yufan is still the screenwriter of "Twilight" and is still the leading actor, especially with the release of "Twilight", Edward played by Jin Yufan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Countless originally excellent movie series have declined and failed because of the change of bishops. This kind of thing is all too common in Hollywood. Unless it is Jin Yufan who opens his mouth and makes Twentieth Century Fox really unacceptable, otherwise, Twentieth Century Fox will try its best to satisfy Jin Yufan and retain Jin Yufan as the actor in order to ensure that the "Twilight" series can make money.

Ultimately. In the case that Twentieth Century Fox did not dare to let Jin Yufan leave, and the box office of "Twilight" continued to rise, it finally made a concession.

So, Kim Yu-fan happily signed a contract with Twentieth Century Fox for the filming of the sequel to "Twilight". And in the sequel to "Twilight", Kim Yu-beom can finally get 15% of the box office. 10% film adaptation rights, 3% remuneration and 2% screenwriting fees.

Jin Yufan was very satisfied with this result, and naturally signed his name very happily. Although the first part of "Twilight" is still in theaters, the sequel plan is far away, and preparations have not begun at all.

"Brother. No, isn't it all announced that the period of my return, if I don't do it now, what will the stars think, what will everyone think of me, this is not a word, I don't want to bear such a reputation. ”

Jin Yufan held the phone with a depressed face and stood on the balcony on the second floor of the two-storey villa he rented temporarily in the United States. Said with some dissatisfaction.

The person who spoke to Kim Yu-beom was Hong Seung-sung, as for the reason. It was Kim Yu-fan who called Hong Seung-sung to ask about his comeback album preparations, what is the current situation in the Korean music scene, what powerful and popular singers are active, and let Hong Seung-sung start to promote himself.

But what Jin Yufan never expected was that Hong Shengcheng refused outright. And said very directly, you don't want to come back, just continue to concentrate on promoting "Twilight", as for the official return on June 1st, don't mention it, the return period has been set back.

This time. Jin Yufan was suddenly anxious, you must know that Korean fans are very strict with artists, and if they behave badly, they will be attacked, and their image will plummet.

Especially about the matter of agreement, it is very important, almost in South Korea, especially artists, as long as they promise something in front of the camera and make an agreement, then almost no one will not complete it, regardless of whether the artist himself wants to or not.

For example, Jin Yufan's official comeback on June 1st, which was originally planned, has been publicized through Guò Jin Yufan's personal official website and MC's official website, but if Jin Yufan does not officially return on June 1st, then it will be a breach of appointment, which is disrespectful to fans and fans.

What the consequences will be, Jin Yufan doesn't know and hasn't passed by, but he definitely doesn't want to try and experience it himself. Because Jin Yufan remembers very well that a certain funny artist just promised one thing in front of the camera, a very small thing, and even everyone could see that this funny artist was just joking with the person he agreed with, and he didn't take it seriously.

But even so, so what, an agreement is an agreement, where there is no joke or no joke, failure to do it is a breach of the contract, it is a reversal, and it is disrespect for the agreement and the other party.

In the end, this funny artist, who was already very miserable, was attacked countless times because of such a joke agreement, and finally retired from the entertainment industry.

This incident made Jin Yufan very profound, after all, it was just a joke, but I didn't expect Korean netizens to take it so seriously and seriously. This also let Kim Yu-beom know that Koreans attach great importance to agreements, which is why the show "Infinite Challenge" is so popular, not because "Infinite Challenge" never misses the contract and does what it says.

But now, Hong Shengcheng actually asked himself not to go back to South Korea, and continued to concentrate on flying around the world with the crew of "Twilight" to promote, and even retreated from the debut time, which is to make himself miss the appointment.

Regarding Hong Shengcheng's request, Jin Yufan didn't think about it, and directly shook his head and refused. The reason for this is not because Jin Yufan doesn't want to miss the appointment, but also because he has been away from the Korean music scene for three years, too long, and wants to return as soon as possible.

Hearing Kim Yu-beom's resolute refusal, Hong Seung-sung certainly knew what Kim Yu-beom was thinking, and couldn't help but comfort him softly: "Yu-beom, I know what you're worried about, but it's really not the right time for you to come back now, you must know that you have now become a national hero, and your every move makes our entire Republic of Korea proud." It also attracts the attention of all of us in the Republic of Korea at all times. To be honest, I didn't even expect you to be so successful and that Twilight would be so high at the box office. Therefore, what you need to do now is not to rush back, but to concentrate on promoting with the crew of "Twilight", and strive to make "Twilight" higher at the global box office. It's a huge benefit for you and for the MC company, you know!"

"Uh~~~ Why, I missed the appointment, I didn't do it, and it would be very good not to be attacked to death when the time comes, what good can it be. Knowing that Hong Shengcheng must have a point in saying this, Jin Yufan was not really angry. I just pretended not to understand and asked worriedly.

"Haha, you probably don't know yet, the "Twilight Zone" written and starred in by you has caused a 12-magnitude earthquake in South Korea when it was released, after all, this is the first time that Koreans have teamed up with Twentieth Century Fox, one of the eight major Hollywood studios, in Hollywood. A movie that really starred in. This alone has already caused a stir in South Korea. Not to mention that your kid is still demonic to the limit, and the starring role is also counted, and he even serves as a screenwriter and director. Now look at the box office of "Twilight", we will not mention the word-of-mouth and plot for the time being, but the box office is real, and now the North American box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars. Do you know what 100 million dollars means?"

Jin Yufan just wanted to say that he didn't know, but before he could say it, Hong Shengcheng preemptively said in a very excited tone: "This is a $100 million box office movie, which is equivalent to 100 billion won, and this is still temporary." The box office is only going to get higher and higher. Do you know, you are such a high-grossing and high-impact movie starring, and even a screenwriter and director, you say that under this achievement, who will care if you miss the appointment, and who will not do it when you say it. On the contrary, now the whole of Korea is proud of you, and everyone is proud of you. ”

Listening to Hong Shengcheng, who was originally steady, the more excited he was talking now, Jin Yufan was also silent.

There is no doubt about the dependence of South Koreans on the United States, don't look at the arrogance of Koreans, but they can't stand the small number of people in the country, especially there is a fierce brother with bare feet in the north, who has no sense of security all the time.

It is precisely because of their insecurity that Koreans, who are a little distorted in their hearts, will begin to have infinite fantasies, believing that South Korea is the largest country in the universe, the first in the world, and the best country in the world, and that Koreans are the happiest people in the world, the best nation, and a typical spiritual victory.

Similarly, there is little insecurity among the young people, which also makes Koreans desperate to be recognized by the world, because they try their best to improve South Korea's international status even to the point of madness.

If you get a good result in the heavy dà competition, then you are the pride of the nation and the national hero. Any artist who goes to Hollywood to play soy sauce is an international star, BigBang receives an award in the United States, and Nima has become a store that vaguely suppresses Lincoln Park, comparable to the queen and the eagle and the Beatles.

Just imagine, with such national conditions and Korean thoughts, Kim Yu-beom's current starring role, and even a movie written, acted and directed by himself, has won hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office, how can this not make the Korean Spartan completely excited and crazy.

Just like when he heard the news from Hong Seung-sung, it also surprised Kim Yu-beom, almost without doing anything, because of the popularity of the box office of "Twilight", Kim Yu-beom has also become the focus of attention in South Korea, becoming a national hero and national pride.

Even the number of Jin Yufan's fan stars has soared from 200,000 to 700,000 in just one week, and he is about to catch up with the popular king Dongfang Shenqi.

This is only temporary, as "Twilight" continues to be released, the box office is getting higher and higher, and Kim Yu-beom's popularity in South Korea surpasses TVXQ, which is for sure, and sooner or later.

"Yu Fan, you don't need to worry about anything, don't worry about promoting the movie. You must know that you are now winning glory for the country, since you are winning glory for the country, then no one in the Republic of Korea will say that you have broken the contract, on the contrary, everyone will support you, which represents South Korea's higher box office results in the world, Fighting!"

Hanging up the phone, Jin Yufan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he made the movie "Twilight" completely for himself, how can this have anything to do with South Korea, even if it is related, it is only because his body is Korean, and he has Korean nationality, but he has a Mao relationship with winning glory for the country, and this is not a competition.

With a wry smile, Jin Yufan also gave up his preparation to temporarily return to South Korea to make a comeback, since Hong Shengcheng said so, naturally there is no need to drill the horns of the bull, not to mention that Hong Shengcheng is also right, as far as the psychological situation of the Koreans is concerned, what he has done so far is to win glory for the country, and it is impossible for anyone to talk about himself with the fact that he broke the contract.

So, in the following month, because of the high box office of "Twilight" in North America, Twentieth Century Fox decided to let the "Twilight" crew fly around the world to promote.

In this way, Jin Yufan followed the crew of "Twilight" and went around Europe for a whole circle, then passed through Asia and went around Japan, and then returned to Japan.

The effect of publicity is undoubtedly huge, and with the continuous promotion of "Twilight" in European countries, the box office performance of "Twilight" in European countries has been significantly improved.

When the crew of "Twilight" returned to the United States after a month of promotion, the overseas box office had exceeded $100 million.

However, none of this matters to Kim Yu-beom, because when the crew was promoting "Twilight" in Japan, after the promotion ended, Kim Yu-beom did not return to the United States with the crew, but played with BOA in Japan for two days, and then returned to South Korea from Japan.

However, this time, Jin Yufan's return, with the myth of "Twilight", written and acted and directed, with the Edwardian phenomenon that has made countless women crazy, and with the box office results that have reached 200 million and are about to reach 300 million US dollars, the scenery is back.
