Chapter 438 released
Simon laughed disapprenorovingly, in Simon's opinion, "Twilight" is a novel by Jin Yufan, and he adapted it himself, and he also starred and directed the movie, it can be said that the whole movie is completely full of Jin Yufan's personal elements.
In this case, not to mention Jin Yufan, even if it were replaced by anyone, it is estimated that he would slap his chest and swear that the movie would definitely be a success and would definitely surprise you.
If it had just met Jin Yufan before, it is estimated that Simon would have directly used the character and temper of an American to unceremoniously fight back sarcastically. But now, after determining the sum of Jin Yufan's values, Simon just smiled indifferently and did not sarcastically say anything about Jin Yufan.
In Simon's eyes, and even in the eyes of the entire Twentieth Century Fox executives, "Twilight" is just a shipping part for "Percy Jackson", and if it could, Twentieth Century Fox didn't want "Twilight" at all, only "Percy Jackson".
Twentieth Century Fox is not optimistic about the movie "Twilight", after all, there are many fans of the "Twilight" novel series in the United States, and there is a large group of loyal fans.
This alone, if nothing else, can also ensure that the investment in Twilight will be recouped. Otherwise, if a movie can't even make money from the investment, it is destined to be a loss-making business, and Twentieth Century Fox will not win "Twilight" by the way.
After all, "Twilight" is an investment of tens of millions of dollars, and if it loses one or two million dollars, who will bear the responsibility. If it must lose $10 million or two, then Twentieth Century Fox might as well take out $10 million out of the $20 million loss. Wouldn't it be easier to take down "Percy Jackson", at least without releasing the failed work "Twilight", so as not to be ridiculed by others.
The reason why Twentieth Century Fox won and invested in the film "Twilight" is not only to win the "Percy Jackson" series, but also because "Twilight" itself has a huge fan base in North America. It can guarantee a certain box office market.
Otherwise, for a movie that is destined to lose money, you Jin Yufan is not a bullish sky-high character, at least in the United States, where will Twentieth Century Fox give you the slightest face, and you will be given tens of millions of dollars to burn and play.
The reason why Twentieth Century Fox invested in "Twilight" is that after the calculations of professionals inside Twentieth Century Fox, it is certain that the box office can be guaranteed, and even if it loses, it will not lose much. And the possibility of losing money is very small, so I will invest in "Twilight".
Twentieth Century Fox is not a charity church, and since it is willing to invest in "Twilight", the most basic starting point is also to go with the purpose of making money.
After all, Jin Yufan is just an unknown little person in North America, where is it worth a film company willing to give Jin Yufan tens of millions of dollars to burn to play, even if Jin Yufan is a god. With the character and temper of the Americans, no matter how great you are, it is useless. If the film company is not optimistic, then it is not optimistic, and it will not give you money to burn and play and make a movie that is doomed to loss.
That's why the great god James Cameron is known as the most expensive movie in Hollywood, and even in the world. With a budget of 100 million dollars, if you don't come up with tens of millions of dollars, then the movie will not be good.
But even the great god James Cameron likes to ask investors to continue to add funds, almost always more than halfway through the filming. Occasionally, it is only when a third of the film is filmed that the money is not enough, and the investor must continue to invest more, otherwise the film will not be made.
Why does James Cameron say this, because he knows that according to the character of an American, before the filming of your movie starts, you say that 100 million US dollars is not enough, and you need to give me tens of millions of dollars, then even if you are a god, the film company and the investors will not be able to bird you, or you will not make the movie at all, or you will change the director.
James Cameron is undoubtedly much smarter in this regard, most of the movie has been made, and the funds have almost been used, and additional investment must be made, and the film cannot be made without additional investment, and the funds will be used almost without filming, and he will not be able to get it back, so he can only grit his teeth and continue to make additional investment.
Of course, this is also the great god James Cameron can do this, people have the qualifications and confidence for this, if it is replaced by Jin Yufan, the consequences of doing so will definitely be even stricter than imagined.
The disdain in Simon's eyes was seen by Jin Yufan, and seeing Simon's reaction, Jin Yufan didn't get angry, but laughed indifferently.
There's nothing to be angry about in this regard, not to mention that Simon is not a bad person, and he fits his temper very well. As for Simon's disdain, there is no need for Jin Yufan to prove anything, anyway, after the movie is released, the real box office results are the best proof.
Kim has no doubt that as long as "Twilight" comes out at the global box office, it will definitely completely change the perception of Twentieth Century Fox executives about the "Twilight" film series.
Especially after the movie "Percy Jackson" was put on the big screen and the global box office came out, it was clear that it could not do the box office of "Twilight", and the status of the two in the minds of Twentieth Century Fox would have to be reversed and had to be reversed.
Jin Yufan also knows that Twentieth Century Fox values "Percy Jackson" more, and he also understands that although Simon is now talking to himself about "Twilight", he is probably more like asking himself about "Percy Jackson", especially whether the script he promised before has been completed.
Jin Yufan did not pretend to be arrogant, after all, no matter what the purpose and idea of Twentieth Century Fox is, but the more than 4,000 theaters where "Twilight" is released really can't be faked, and the more theaters the movie is released, the more it can grab the box office, which is also a huge benefit to the movie "Twilight".
So, in return, the main thing is that the current cooperation with Twentieth Century Fox is quite pleasant. It is better to be raw than cooked, as the so-called once born and twice cooked, with a good start of cooperation, Jin Yufan also wants to become a better ally and partner with Twentieth Century Fox, not to mention that Twentieth Century Fox is also one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, both in terms of influence and strength. It's the best in the world.
"I'm still working on the script for 'Percy Jackson,' but I'm halfway there. But you know, I'm about to make a comeback in Korea, and I'm still a singer after all, so I take this matter very seriously, so I can't finish writing the script in a short time, but I can guarantee that it will be before October. Will definitely finish the script of the first part of "Percy Jackson". ”
Jin Yufan's words made Simon's eyes light up suddenly, as for Jin Yufan said that he couldn't complete the script creation in a short period of time, and he was busy tossing in the music world, he was directly ignored by Simon.
After all, the current twentieth century fox film schedule is also very full, even if Jin Yufan takes out the script now, it is estimated that twentieth century fox will not be in a hurry to start filming at one time, and it is estimated that it will be until the end of the year, or it will simply start filming next year.
What's more, Jin Yufan also said it. The script can be completed by October 1st, that's exactly what you can do. Time did not delay anything, after all, a good script, even if it is a movie script adapted by Jin Yufan for his own novel, it will take a certain amount of time.
If Jin Yufan is busy preparing for his comeback in the music scene and busy recording songs, he will directly take out the script. Simon, on the contrary, doubted that with such a fast speed, Jin Yufan had no intention of writing the script, whether he was casually creating a script to perfunctory Twentieth Century Fox.
"Hehe, this is not in a hurry, this is not in a hurry. Now we mainly have to prepare the release of "Twilight" and operate it well. Receiving a satisfactory answer, Simon immediately said politely.
Well~~~ The tone is very hypocritical, and the expression doesn't quite match what he said, but it seems that Simon never intended to hide his thoughts.
Unknowingly, May 1, 2008 came, today is the official release day of the first part of "Twilight", early in the morning, Jin Yufan began to meet with the crew members after a simple makeup, and then went to a famous theater in Los Angeles, because the world premiere of "Twilight" will be released in this famous theater today.
And this famous theater is the famous, world-famous Chinese Theater, a Los Angeles landmark building, attractions, the venue of the Oscars, and the famous Walk of Fame is centered on the Chinese Theater, and the two streets that spread out left and right seem to be like the left and right hands of the Chinese theater.
Being able to gather blockbusters, in the hands of seven equally powerful Hollywood film giants, snatched the Chinese theater for "Twilight" as the venue for the world premiere, which somewhat surprised Jin Yufan, and the surprise was a surprise.
The Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, although it has Chinese elements, the Chinese Theater can be called the most famous theater in the whole Hollywood, and even the whole world.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the most iconic walk of Fame in Hollywood, the United States, revolves around the Chinese theater.
It can be seen that the status of Chinese theater is so special and so high, and it is indeed not easy for Twentieth Century Fox to win the premiere of a Chinese theater for a film that is not very important.
Although it was a world premiere, and although the premiere was held at the famous Chinese Theater, the process made everyone in the "Twilight" crew feel a little embarrassed.
There is no way, "Twilight" has neither a big-name director, nor any big-name actors, and even the actor is Asian, and the cost of even the production is only more than 30 million US dollars, which is basically not the slightest attractive.
In this case, the premiere of "Twilight" was somewhat awkward, and you can't expect countless media outlets to rush to interview and report on the premiere of "Twilight".
Although it is a little embarrassing, the huge fans of "Twilight" are still very powerful, especially the ladies, in the face of their favorite novel finally changed and moved to the big screen, all the female book fans are completely excited and begin to look forward to it.
There are no media and reporters, but the premiere of "Twilight" came to a lot of female fans, before the first part of "Twilight" was released, these female fans on the scene, almost no one was a fan of "Twilight", and they could only be called book fans.
Of course, these are temporary. Kim Yu-beom knew that with the global release and success of the first film of "Twilight", it was not only a box office hit, but also opened up the influence of the movie, gradually breaking away from the influence of the original novel, and truly becoming a new film series and brand.
Otherwise, there would not have been the crazy outburst of the second part of "Twilight". The global box office of more than 700 million US dollars, the production cost of only 50 million US dollars, and the ability to attract money definitely make countless people envious, jealous and hateful.
"Edward...... Edward...... Edward ......" With the appearance of Jin Yufan and Kristen Stewart, the female fans at the scene suddenly broke out into the craziest screams.
Because almost all the fans at the scene are women, there is no doubt that Jin Yufan, the male protagonist, instantly became the focus and figure. Coupled with Jin Yufan's outstanding figure and resolute appearance, he has won the hobby of American women, so the screams are even louder.
Well~~~ I have to say that American women still have their own preferences and styles for men, that is, they should have a good figure and the more resolute they look, the better, if Kim Jae-jung and Kim Hee-cheol, including Lee Joon-gi's flexible flower men, come. It is estimated that American women will not buy it at all, but will treat these Korean bewitching beautiful men. TREAT IT AS A SISSY OR EVEN GAY.
Jin Yufan's figure, temperament and appearance are still very in line with the aesthetics of American women, originally somewhat attracted by the role of Edward in the "Twilight" novel, but now after seeing Jin Yufan, it is also the first time to see Jin Yufan who plays Edward, and the female fans on the scene suddenly feel it. This Asian man is indeed handsome and strong, and he is the ideal Edward in his mind.
As a result, American female fans began to be completely agitated and began to scream and shout wildly. told everyone on the scene with practical actions that when it comes to the crazy Cheng dù of fans, it is not only the madness of fans in Japan and South Korea, but also the madness of American female fans.
I didn't expect the female fans in the United States to be so powerful, although I knew that the fans on the scene were more fond of Edward, the hero of the novel, rather than really liking himself. But no matter what, at least he is Edward in the movie, Jin Yufan and Edward are the same person in the movie "Twilight", and the female fans at the scene are crazy shouting Edward, which is actually equivalent to shouting and liking themselves.
Well, Jin Yufan is very brazen to make up for his own brain, but then again, in a sense, Jin Yufan's idea is indeed right.
Therefore, Jin Yufan stretched out his hand with a smile and interest, waving his hand at the crazy screaming female fans around him, with a sè look, so that Christine Stewart on the side couldn't look at it, the most important thing was the popularity of Jin Yufan, although the female fans on the scene just liked Edward instead of Jin Yufan, but at least in Christine's eyes, Edward and Jin Yufan are one person, there is no difference at all.
Although as early as taking over the movie "Twilight", after understanding the script, Christine knew that this movie would definitely make Jin Yufan, the person who played the male protagonist Edward, a new generation of Prince Charming in the minds of young women, and would definitely gain the crazy love and support of young women at that time.
But knowing that when this happened, it still happened to him, especially when he accompanied Jin Yufan on the red carpet, almost everyone shouted Jin Yufan or Edward, and no one called himself or Bella, this great contrast suddenly made Christine jealous.
It is the nature and privilege of women to be jealous, so when Jin Yufan got sè, Christine maintained a charming smile on her face, as if she was greeting countless of her fans, but the hand holding Jin Yufan, under the cover of her body, finally stretched out her magic finger and pinched Jin Yufan's body fiercely.
"Hiss~~~" I didn't expect Christine, a Sven girl, to suddenly pinch herself, Jin Yufan, who was not mentally prepared, couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air, and then looked at Christine with a puzzled expression.
However, in response to Jin Yufan, it was Christine's tsundere who succeeded in her little conspiracy, raising her chin arrogantly, tilting her head to greet fans from time to time, as if nothing had happened.
"I'm jealous!" Seeing Christine's reaction, Jin Yufan quickly reacted, and then could only smile bitterly.
What's there to be jealous of, originally the novel and the movie script were destined to make the character of the male protagonist Edward win the love of countless women, what does this matter to me, what are you doing with my trouble.
Although he thinks so in his heart, Jin Yufan also knows that playing a small temper, being arrogant and unreasonable, being jealous and crying, making trouble and hanging himself are all women's privileges, and Jin Yufan, who thinks he is a pure man, does not plan to discuss this matter with Christine, the main thing is that once it is discussed, Christine may not be endless, and Jin Yufan still wants to be quiet.
However, in order to prevent Christine's second attack, or a small revenge, who knows except Jin Yufan. As he walked, Jin Yufan was suddenly holding Christine's arm, and he clamped Christine's hand tightly, so that Christine's body couldn't help leaning on his arm.
In an instant, Jin Yufan felt the softness on Christine's chest just against his arm, and that feeling was really good. Of course, it would be better if the murderous aura in Christine's eyes at this time was not so strong. (To be continued......)
