Chapter 968 should be high-profile
Bidding farewell to the reluctant Kim Tae-hee, Kim Yu-beom repacked his mood, cheered up, and in everyone's expectations, he returned to the United States again with high spirits and began to put all his energy into the upcoming "Twilight? New Moon".
Back in the United States, Jin Yufan naturally returned to Twentieth Century Fox for the first time to check the post-processing company of "Twilight Zone: New Moon".
On the whole, the problem is not very big, Twentieth Century Fox, as one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, and even one of the top eight film companies in the world, the strength is beyond doubt.
Except for some small details and small places, which are different from what Jin Yufan expected, other aspects are handled very well. As for those small details, it only took Jin Yufan two days to solve them.
This also means that the post-processing of the movie "Twilight: New Moon" has all ended, and now all that remains is to go all out to promote it, and then quietly wait for the movie to be released, and use the box office as the final test of the movie.
"Kim, it's not good for you to be like this, I think you have a big problem, I really don't know why you want to go back to South Korea, you must know that "Twilight: New Moon" is about to be released, and at such a critical time, you still have to go back to South Korea, just for a trivial concert, what the hell do you think in your head. β
At home in Santa Monica, Jin Yufan was lying calmly on a beach chair by the pool, while Simon was talking with an unhappy face.
For Jin Yufan's willful behavior, Simon or Twentieth Century Fox is really very angry. If it weren't for the fact that Jin Yufan is the absolute core of the "Twilight" movie series, and if it weren't for the fact that Jin Yufan has a contract with Twentieth Century Fox, the future "Twilight" movie series can only be said by Jin Yufan. Otherwise, Twentieth Century Fox would probably kick Jin Yufan away a long time ago, where would Jin Yufan be allowed to continue to be so arrogant and continue to do his own thing.
"Are you finished?" Ten minutes later, as Simon stopped, Jin Yufan, whose patience was almost exhausted. Finally, he couldn't help frowning and looked at Simon and asked coldly.
What kind of person is Jin Yufan, in terms of identity and status, Simon is something, even if he is a middle-level member of Twentieth Century Fox, but in front of Jin Yufan, there is absolutely no arrogant capital.
This is a typical identity asymmetry, even if Twentieth Century Fox has an opinion or dissatisfaction with Jin Yufan, it should not be Simon, at least it should be Twentieth Century Fox President Jeffrey Goldske. That's what qualifies me.
Simon was stunned, probably never expecting that Jin Yufan, who had always been calm, suddenly changed his face, which also made Simon a little unresponsive. But after reacting, Simon's first reaction was anger, an Asian, a guy who only had a little bit of success in Hollywood, dared to give himself a face. It's just looking for death, and I don't know how thick the sky is.
Just wanted to say something. But when facing Jin Yufan's cold eyes, Simon couldn't help but shudder. I don't know why, but there is a voice that keeps reminding Simon that in the face of those cold eyes, if he dares to talk nonsense again, then his fate will definitely be miserable. And it's very miserable.
Although I don't know, there is such a feeling, a feeling that makes Simon want to laugh, and when did he even believe the so-called feeling. What is this, a sixth sense, or superman?
But in the face of Jin Yufan's cold eyes, I don't know why, at this moment, Simon advertised that he was silent, and for the first time, he believed that he had never believed it before, and even took it as a joke.
Looking at Simon's face is like a Sichuan opera changing face, constantly changing rapidly, but it disappears quickly, and the whole person is silent, just a few seconds of feeling, let Jin Yufan know what kind of Cheng DΓΉ a person's facial expression change can reach in a short period of time, it is completely an Oscar-winning actor-level expression change.
"Perhaps, in your mind, look down on Korean music festivals, but you are not a singer, you are just a filmmaker, and you don't even know what the meaning of a music festival is for us singers, and you don't know how important a music festival is for any singer to create it by yourself. β
Jin Yufan looked up at Simon and said lightly: "What's more, the main purpose of the music festival I created in South Korea is to charity, and I will invest all my income in charity to help people in need. β
"Charity?" Simon looked at Jin Yufan with some surprise, to be honest, Simon only learned that Jin Yufan returned to South Korea to participate in a music festival, but he didn't know that this music festival was for charity, otherwise, Simon wouldn't have that kind of 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 enthusiastic about charity, and even has the strongest supervision and corresponding laws in terms of charity.
Even, in a way, in the United States, basically everyone is keen on charity, as long as it is a normal family person, they will always participate in all aspects of charity. As for public figures, such as celebrities and well-known sports athletes, if they have not been enthusiastic about philanthropy, or have not spent millions of dollars or even more, they are embarrassed to say that they are celebrities and well-known athletes.
It has even been said that if you want to integrate into the United States, in addition to being active in food and community activities, you are passionate about charity.
This shows how marketable philanthropy is in the United States, and Americans, whether sincere or hypocritical, will choose to be clearly biased in favor of philanthropy, at least in the face of philanthropy.
"If it's really for charity, then I don't have much to say, I was a little anxious just now, and I apologize here. After a moment of silence, Simon spoke.
"It's okay, understandable. After all, "Twilight: New Moon" is about to be released, and this time's shooting and post-processing, plus the release time was originally scheduled in a hurry, Twentieth Century Fox is also normal to pay attention to and be nervous, and you have nothing to vent orders and fire on your head, and you are also under a lot of pressure. I understand everything. β
Jin Yufan's simple words almost made Simon cry, since you understand, then why did you look at yourself with such cold eyes just now, and put on a posture of threatening me, are you just showing me your acting skills. I really thought I wasn't an actor, I hadn't seen an actor, I didn't know what acting was and what was real.
Thinking like this, Simon quickly adjusted his mentality. Simon was able to work as a mid-level manager at Twentieth Century Fox, and even now began to work as a filmmaker, increasing in power, and will soon be at the top.
In addition to Simon's own strength, a smart brain is also indispensable. Otherwise, no matter how capable he is, he doesn't understand the world and has no eyesight, which high-level person will like such a person.
Simon knows very well that the global box office of "Twilight: Twilight" has given Jin Yufan a high status in the eyes of Twentieth Century Fox executives, because Jin Yufan and the "Twilight" movie series can make money for Twentieth Century Fox. That's enough.
As far as the current situation is concerned, if Jin Yufan really fell out with Simon. It is estimated that Twentieth Century Fox will also choose to remain silent and stall for time, and then wait until the release of "Twilight: New Moon", and use the global box office of "Twilight: New Moon" to decide whether to help Kim Yu-beom or Simon.
Once "Twilight: New Moon" is a box office hit, then there will be nothing to say at that time, with "Twilight: Twilight" at the bottom, plus this time "Twilight: New Moon" is still a box office hit. This also means that the "Twilight" movie series is a very marketable movie that can be a box office hit.
In this case, Jin Yufan's physical status will be crazy in the eyes of the top management of Twentieth Century Fox. For a person who can make money for himself, Twentieth Century Fox will definitely serve the other party as a god and an ancestor.
As for Simon's words then. I'm sorry then, although I have made a lot of contributions to Twentieth Century Fox, and I am a person who belongs to Twentieth Century Fox, but in the face of naked interests, these are useless.
After all, this is the United States, not China, focusing only on practical interests, not relationships.
Not to mention that Simon is just a middle-level person at Twentieth Century Fox, even if he is a high-level member of Twentieth Century Fox, he has a conflict with Jin Yufan, and the "Twilight" movie series can be a big hit, then Twentieth Century Fox will definitely support Jin Yufan, not the company's own people.
Jokes, after investing about 50 million US dollars, and then the global box office of the movie can exceed 500 million US dollars, and Twentieth Century Fox can earn at least 150 million US dollars, such a large income, what is the middle-level employee of a company, it is completely worthless scum, and there will be no hesitation to give up.
It is precisely because of these thoughts that Simon chose to remain silent, although he doesn't know how much the box office of the upcoming "Twilight: New Moon" can reach, but for the "Twilight" movie series, Simon said that the "Twilight" movie series is really special, it is a very rare special situation, not a normal situation that he is familiar with.
If it were a normal situation, the "Twilight" movie series would not have any box office hits in all aspects, and it would not have been successful no matter how you look at it. But the global box office of "Twilight: Twilight" is $500 million, which makes everyone completely dumbfounded, proving that the "Twilight" movie series is different.
Therefore, in Simon's personal opinion, "Twilight: New Moon" seems to be like that, and it will definitely not have any good box office under normal circumstances. But with the example of "Twilight" before, Simon couldn't see the box office of the upcoming "Twilight: New Moon", so he had to choose silence.
Because Simon knows very well that once he has a conflict with Jin Yufan now, with the release of "Twilight: New Moon", if the box office is a big hit, then there is no need for Jin Yufan to open his mouth and do it, Twentieth Century Fox will kill himself first, in order to appease Jin Yufan's heart, so that Jin Yufan can continue to concentrate on the next sequel to "Twilight" and make money for Twentieth Century Fox.
"So now, let's talk about the promotion of the movie first, I hope that you and Kristen Stewart have an affair, which will also be of great help to "Twilight: New Moon", if you want, as long as you nod, I will arrange it at that time. β
When it came to business, Jin Yufan also became strict, and nodded after thinking about Simon's mention: "There is no problem with this." But before I say it, I have to make it clear to Kristen Stewart. Also, I don't think that's enough, you can help me get the word out and say that I can be sure that "Twilight: Crescent" will do box office, and even surpass the first "Twilight". β
Simon was completely shocked by Jin Yufan's words. What a joke is it to dare to say that the box office of "Twilight: New Moon" can surpass the first "Twilight: Twilight". Simon really wants to tell SΓΉ Jin Yufan, are you thinking too much, you must know that the box office of "Twilight" is 500 million US dollars worldwide, you mean that the box office of "Twilight: New Moon" can exceed 500 million US dollars, how much, is it 600 million US dollars, do you know what this means.
"Kim, have you really decided?" is no joke. Simon had to make sure again.
After all, Jin Yufan had already had a very unpleasant quarrel with the American media before, and this time Jin Yufan also clamored that the box office of "Twilight: New Moon" can break through the $500 million mark of the first "Twilight", which is basically conservative is the global box office of $600 million.
To be honest, Simon doesn't believe this at all, because in Simon's opinion, the movie "Twilight: New Moon" can't see anything that will make the movie a box office hit. There is no selling point at all, and there is no basis for the movie to be a box office hit.
Once the sentence is put out. At that time, the box office faux pas of "Twilight: New Moon", coupled with the American media that had fallen out before, Simon could see that Jin Yufan would be frantically besieged by the American media, and finally had to quit the American entertainment industry.
Simon didn't understand this. Why did Jin Yufan make such a decision, doesn't Jin Yufan know that it is really very, very difficult for outsiders to enter the American entertainment industry, Jin Yufan finally has the achievements and foundation with "Twilight? If you boil slowly, you will always be recognized by Hollywood, which is a very high starting point compared to other actors outside the United States.
Doesn't Jin Yufan understand this, he has to gamble with the foundation that he finally opened by shit luck, and gamble on his future in Hollywood, which is completely undesirable and foolish in Simon's opinion.
"It's okay, anyway, now that "Twilight: New Moon" is about to be released, what I want is publicity, and since that's the case, I, as the core of the movie, why can't I sacrifice it for the movie. β
Jin Yufan smiled and said: "Besides, anyway, my relationship with the American media has fallen out, and now I am arrogant and say a few arrogant words, what does it matter, anyway, I don't say that the American media will not let me go, I said that the American media will attack me even more crazily, wouldn't this achieve the purpose of promoting the movie." β
"Of course I know what the consequences will be if I lose, and what the price will be. But I don't think it's okay, I have confidence in myself, absolute confidence. What's more, for me, even if I failed and had to quit Hollywood, I could still continue to play music, knowing that my first career was a singer, not an actor. Even if the American media doesn't allow it, the American music scene won't let me play, it doesn't matter, if I leave the United States, go back to Asia, and return to my territory, I don't believe that the American media still has such a great ability to ban me in Asia. β
ββ¦β¦β
At this moment, Simon was completely speechless, looking at Jin Yufan's indifferent face, Simon knew that Jin Yufan really didn't care, not pretending.
If you think about it carefully, what is Jin Yufan's identity, although he is not very good, but according to the investigation of Twentieth Century Fox, Jin Yufan is very good in South Korea and even in Asia, and there are many industries.
Taking a step back, even if Jin Yufan leaves the United States, there is no loss, because in the investigation of Jin Yufan, it can be clearly seen that Jin Yufan only regards artists as a way to pass the time, not a profession to live on, even if he is not an artist now, he can live a good and nourishing life, and he doesn't have to work so hard, and the retreat is so big, Jin Yufan naturally doesn't care.
Thinking about this, Simon couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded: "Okay, since you have decided, I naturally will not refuse, not to mention that this is more beneficial to the promotion of the movie, and I can also explain it to the company." But Kim, don't you think that's too high-profile?"
"High-profile, high-profile, of course!" Jin Yufan stood up with a smile, looked at the sea in the distance, and stretched his waist to: "I think, I've always been very low-key, but I seem to have forgotten about it, this is the United States, not South Korea, not Asia, low-key doesn't seem to work, the more low-key you are, the easier others think you are, and they will all come to bully you mercilessly." Since keeping a low profile doesn't work, and I don't like being bullied, then I should be high-profile from now on, and since that's the case, then from now on, I want to be high-profile, and I want to be unscrupulous and lawless.
