Chapter 862: Provocation (I)
Listening to the announcement on the radio that he was about to board the plane, Jin Yufan frowned, and then continued: "I want Bao'er, I'm almost going to board the plane, so be it for the time being, I'll call you again when I get to the United States." ”
"Well, I know OPPA, then OPPA will call me again when he arrives in the United States, I wish OPPA a a safe journey!" BOA has never been a clingy woman, and the voice of the radio is not small, of course BOA on the other end of the phone also heard it, and did not say anything more, after saying a few words to Jin Yufan, he took the initiative to hang up the phone.
"Brother, let's go!" After putting away the phone, Jin Yufan stood up, stretched his waist and said lightly.
"Why, BOA is worried about you. Luch asked as he stood up with a smile and stretched.
As Jin Yufan's agent, especially the person trusted by Jin Yufan's side, Jin Yufan and BOA naturally don't need to hide the relationship between Jin Yufan and BOA, and he can't even be busy, the reason is very simple, that is, Lu He is Jin Yufan's agent.
In fact, it was Jin Yufan who took the initiative to tell Lu He about it, and after Lu He learned about it, he simply nodded, and then sighed, signaling Jin Yufan to rest assured that he knew what to do.
What will Lu He do, as Jin Yufan's agent, he naturally has to pay attention to everything around Jin Yufan. If Jin Yufan took the initiative to sue Lu He about his relationship with BOA, Lu He also understood that this was also Jin Yufan's reminder to remind himself of his own scandals and other things in the future.
For example, if Jin Yufan has an affair with someone, Lu He must take a relative response to the scandal and strangle the scandal to the minimum, so as not to affect the relationship between Jin Yufan and BOA.
At the same time, other women came around, and there were some things that BOA was more sensitive about in terms of feelings. For example, kiss scenes, very close cooperation with other male artists, etc., Lu He also has to remind Jin Yufan.
"Hehe, there must be worries, after all, I went to the United States to work hard, and BOA is an artist. Of course, I know how difficult it will be to enter the United States, and I am sure that I am worried. But brother, you also know, it's just a little worried, it is estimated that BOA believes in my strength more than myself, not to mention that BOA is not that kind of hypocritical person. ”
"That's right. Lu He thought about it, nodded and smiled in agreement: "To be honest, BOA is definitely one of the strongest and most confident female artists I have ever seen among Korean female artists." ”
"Hehe, let's go. I guess James is waiting impatiently. ”
"Haha, I've been in touch with James Steve over the years, and James Steve has told me many times that he's an agent, not a manager of a company. You haven't been in the United States for several years, and James Steve has no use at all, and he can only manage your industries in the United States, and now they are slowly developing. It's going to be very good. Although there is no permission to sign a newcomer, in terms of connections and the strength of the studio itself. It's a huge improvement from a few years ago. According to James Steve, if it were in the United States, it would be enough to serve you alone. ”
"yes, it's been hard work all these years, James Steve. Thinking of his agent James Steve in the United States, Jin Yufan couldn't help but sigh.
For James Steve's case. Luch didn't know, he just thought that James Steve was running the studio left by Kim Yufan in the United States. But Jin Yufan knows very well that James Steve, the agent, has really worked hard over the years, and has done all the tasks he has assigned properly.
In addition to taking care of Kim Yu-fan's studio in the United States, James Steve has not yet come to the United States to develop in Kim Yu-fan. More time is spent on Jin Yufan's novels.
As Jin Yufan's agent in the United States, and with Jin Yufan's authorization, James Steve was personally responsible for the publication of Jin Yufan's novel in the United States.
In terms of novels, it is a stepping stone for Jin Yufan to open the American market, and it is also a source of a large amount of income, and Jin Yufan will certainly not let it go.
In addition to the "Twilight" series and the "Percy Jackson" series, Jin Yufan also preemptively put the "Hunger Games" series in front of the original author, wrote this novel series, and published it ahead of schedule.
You must know that these three novel series, they all represent a huge income. Even the worst "Percy Jackson" series may be weaker in terms of box office and commercial value, but in terms of novel publishing, it is definitely not weak, and it is full of gold attraction.
Not to mention the "Twilight" novel series and the "Hunger Games" novel series, which are even more money-absorbing, whether it is the publication of the novel or the global box office of the movie, it can make people jealous to the point of madness.
Since Jin Yufan was able to snatch the "Percy Jackson" novel series and the "Twilight" novel series, the "Hunger Games" novel series will naturally not let go.
In the past few years, Jin Yufan has not gone to the United States to develop, and James Steve does not have to take care of Jin Yufan, so James Steve has devoted all his time, except for the management work room, to these three novel series.
Especially in the third novel series "The Hunger Games", Jin Yufan repeatedly emphasized that he was only responsible for publishing, and as for the film company coming to the door to ask for the right to buy the film adaptation, he resolutely disagreed.
Joke, "The Hunger Games" is a Hollywood stepping stone that Jin Yufan has long decided, and if he wants to shoot it, he will shoot it himself, after all, a "Twilight" novel series, although the box office is strong, but the word of mouth is really not good.
If Jin Yufan is in addition to the "Twilight" novel series and the "Hunger Games" novel series, not to mention the reputation of the movie, but the box office of the two novel series of horrors is destined to become a commercial director recognized by Hollywood.
Although Jin Yufan is Asian, yellow-skinned, and ostracized by arrogant Americans, as long as Jin Yufan sits firmly on the name of a commercial director, it will be of great help to Jin Yufan to enter Hollywood.
In the United States, a country where money is paramount, as long as you can bring enough movie box office and bring benefits, which Hollywood film companies will not care who you are, as long as there are interests, they will definitely be able to serve you as your own father.
Jin Yufan only relies on these two novel series. After securing his reputation as a commercial director, then Kim Yu-beom will not lack opportunities in Hollywood in the future. Countless film companies will take the initiative to wave money to come to the door when they see the big sales of Jin Yufan's two novel series, and let Jin Yufan be the director to make a movie for themselves.
As long as Jin Yufan's next one or two films are not so tragic on the street, then Jin Yufan will have a complete foothold in Hollywood. The problem is, Jin Yufan, who has the ability to be a prophet. How could it hit the streets, when the time comes, for movie scripts, I only want those movie scripts with good box office, and I have always maintained a high-intensity box office, how could Jin Yufan hit the streets, how could I be forgotten by Hollywood.
Why does James Cameron like to chase investment funds at every turn, every time he talks without words, and it takes a long time to shoot, and his temper is also very bad. But why is it even so. There are still countless film companies that come to the door and ask James Cameron to make movies for themselves, for the simple reason that James Cameron is the guarantee of the box office of the movie and can bring huge income.
As long as Jin Yufan sits firmly on the name of a commercial director and makes major film companies think that Jin Yufan can bring him box office and benefits, then Jin Yufan will not lack opportunities in the future.
Therefore, the film adaptation rights of the "Hunger Games" novel series. Jin Yufan will definitely not hand it over, even if it is. The premise must also be that Kim Woo-bum is the director of the film.
Obviously, this is simply not possible at the moment, just as South Korea will not casually invite a Japanese newcomer to be the director of a new film with a big investment.
Since he knew that there was no chance, Jin Yufan was not reluctant, and if there was no chance, there would be no chance. Therefore, for the major film companies that have come to inquire about the film adaptation rights of the "Hunger Games" novel series in recent years, Jin Yufan directly asked James Steve to refuse.
When Jin Yufan stepped off the plane and stepped on the land of California, USA, Jin Yufan squinted his eyes and looked at the surrounding scenery, and sighed a lot in his heart.
I used to come in a hurry every time. Hurry away. But this time the situation is different, this time he has really entered the American entertainment industry, although he has confidence in himself, but considering the xenophobia of the United States, Jin Yufan is really a little bottomless in his heart.
"Yufan, look, James!" walked out of the security area along the flow of people, Jin Yufan was still sighing, and Lu He's voice sounded in Jin Yufan's ears.
Looking up in the direction pointed by Luch, he saw James Steve smiling, and he spread his hands wide and walked towards him with a happy face.
"Haha, BOSS, you're finally here, you know that you haven't been to the United States in the past few years, I'm really bored. Luckily, God knows that I heard my prayers, so I finally made up your mind to enter the United States. ”
James Steve walked over and just hugged Jin Yufan, and then saw James Steve with an excited face, and said with a look of impatience: "I believe that with the foundation and preparation I have laid over the years, coupled with the strength of the boss, we will definitely surprise everyone by joining forces." ”
"Haha, it's a pleasure to meet you Jeffes. Although I know that this trip to the United States will certainly not be so easy, I believe that I am ready and you are ready, aren't you?"
"Haha, of course, I'm the best agent, and you're the best artist, there's no doubt about it. James Steve was stunned for a moment, but quickly laughed, patted Jin Yufan on the shoulder and said seriously.
"Hello Lu!" James Steve said hello to Luh, then looked at Jin Yufan and asked, "Shall we go to the studio first or go to Universal first?"
"Let's go global!" Faced with James Steve's inquiry, Jin Yufan thought for a while and said: "This time, the purpose of my coming to the United States, in addition to filming the sequel to "Twilight", is to enter the American music scene. Universal Music is a partner of MC, and this time I entered the American music scene, I still need the strong support of Universal Music. Now that we're here, let's go to Universal Music now, and whatever the outcome, at least we'll have to do a good job of etiquette ourselves. ”
"OK, you're the boss, you have the final say, it's worthy of an oriental culture that pays attention to etiquette, to be honest, although I'm not very used to it, but I don't deny that this is a very good behavior, at least I can get the favor of others. ”
Universal Music is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, which is arguably the focal point and center of global entertainment.
Jin Yufan came to the United States and prepared to enter the American music scene. When Kim Yu-beom was still in South Korea, Hong Seung-sung said hello to Universal Records. Of course, I just said hello to Universal Music Japan, and then asked Universal Music Japan to inform Universal Music America.
However, the specific effect, whether it is Jin Yufan or Hong Shengcheng, thinks that it is only minimal.
Don't look at Universal Music Japan and Universal Music in the United States, they are both brother companies, and they both belong to Universal Company. But if you really count it, the two sides are also competitive. Universal Records looks down on Universal Records Japan, and Universal Records Japan also looks down on Universal Records in the United States, and this relationship is not something that can be explained in a simple few words.
Although I know that the effect is minimal, but there is no way, after all, Jin Yufan enters the United States, and he must have a strong company behind him to support him, even so, it is very difficult to succeed. Not to mention that without the support of a powerful company, it is definitely worse.
"How are you getting in touch with Universal America?" asked Jin Yufan curiously, sitting in the nanny car driven by James Steve.
"A few days ago, I was told by Hong that you are going to enter the American music scene, and I have contacted the relevant people of Universal USA, plus the Japanese Universal side said hello, the most important thing is that the boss Your song "LoveTheWayYouLie" is very energetic, and it has achieved good results on Billboard, which is the biggest persuasiveness. Therefore, Universal USA is also willing to meet with the boss. We will discuss the next cooperation. ”
"But Kim, I have to warn you. You should know that there are also some singers under Universal USA, some are unruly, and even look down on everyone outside the United States at all, this time your "LoveTheWayYouLie" has achieved very good results, and I have received the news that some singers in Universal USA are very dissatisfied with you. You'll need to pay attention to it yourself. ”
"Hehe, dissatisfied, how dissatisfied!" Jin Yufan couldn't help laughing, interrupting James, who was about to say something, Steve smiled and said, "James, it seems that you don't know me very well." Maybe you don't care much about your boss, you have a big problem in this area, as an agent, how can you not understand the personality and situation of the artist you are responsible for. If you really know me, especially when I first debuted in Korea, you will find that what you just said is nonsense. ”
Someone saw that he was dissatisfied and was ready to find trouble for himself, Jin Yufan couldn't help but sneer. To be honest, Jin Yufan really hopes that someone will be able to find trouble for him at that time, so that it will be more convenient for him to step on the other party's position. At least someone is looking for trouble, and Jin Yufan can use a tougher way to sue Universal for his strength and sexiness.
As for what bets and the like, Jin Yufan didn't pay attention to it. Universal is a record company, it plays music, and when the time comes, someone jumps out to find trouble for himself, and he must also be a singer, so what else is there to say, the bet must be in music.
As long as it is a bet on music, Jin Yufan has never worried at all, countless classic songs are waiting for Jin Yufan to call, no matter who wants to bet on Jin Yufan to compare with Jin Yufan in music, and achieve good results within the time and range set by both parties, it is simply looking for death.
"Oh, really, then I'm relieved. James Steve looked at Jin Yufan's expression, and after making sure that Jin Yufan was not joking, he smiled and said, "It seems that I still don't know enough about you, and I must have a good understanding of your situation in Korea and Asia when I have time." If I don't understand your situation and character, I will suffer a great loss from my future arrangements for you, as well as negotiations and consultations with outsiders in terms of interests. ”
James: Steve is an American, Americans are straight, what they say, what they are, don't play modesty with Americans, play modesty, Americans probably really take it seriously.
Therefore, Jin Yufan can directly interrupt James Steve's words and say his own situation, and his tone is a little unkind, but James Steve is not really angry because of this.
Jin Yufan smiled and didn't say anything, just led the topic and started a small talk with James Steve. And Lu He, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh in his heart after seeing the familiar rise in the corners of Jin Yufan's mouth.
It can be said that as one of the people closest to Jin Yufan and the person who knows Jin Yufan the most, every time he sees Jin Yufan's reaction now, Lu He knows that Jin Yufan is ready, and no one will be looking for trouble at that time.
Under the leadership of James Steve, Jin Yufan and his entourage came to the location of Universal USA and entered the gate of Universal USA smoothly.
Under James' leadership, Kim soon met Monte Lippmann, the president of Universal Music in the United States. Eh~~~ Not only Monte Lippmann, but also in Monte Lippmann's office, there was another person who looked at Jin Yufan with very hostile eyes at this time.
"Justin Bieber!" Jin Yufan couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the handsome big boy next to Monte Lippmann, who was the little king Justin Bieber.
Because Jin Yufan saw Bieber's hostility from Bieber's eyes, it is estimated that Bieber was either instigated by others as a temptation to test himself, or Bieber's own unruly character planned to come over and teach himself a lesson.
Thinking of this, Jin Yufan couldn't help laughing anymore, a person who was a trouble himself and couldn't control himself, Jin Yufan really didn't pay attention to it. (To be continued......)
