MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 192

"Also, we need to control public opinion, and don't let the gun point at our company."

"It's better if everyone blames Tom Cruise for his acting."

"..."

All the executives nodded.

As long as the Green Lantern loses the blame and is carried by Tom Cruise, the responsibilities of their executives and the president of Robinoff can be greatly reduced.

All they have to do is declare to the public that they chose the wrong actor.

The unanimous remark is that everyone believes too much in Tom Cruise's acting skills. I didn't expect his acting skills to be exposed in Green Lantern.

Everyone misunderstood him.

While this is bound to be devastating to Tom Cruise, what does this have to do with them?

Such a big investment failure, it is definitely impossible for Tom Cruise not to take the blame.

Chapter 280 Tom Cruise's Request

Now, they just turned Tom Cruise from a small pot into a big pot.

After arranging the way to deal with it, Warner Bros. immediately began to act.

If the media directly praises Green Lantern in turn, the cost is too high, and it is not easy for media people to clearly cooperate with the opinions of the masses.

Just like a certain teenager, the public reputation is obviously poor.

There are still countless media advocating how good the movie is, which is typically the capital behind it.

Of course, the eyes of the masses are sharp.

After swiping countless tickets, there are still only more than 200 million word of mouth, which shows how bad the movie is.

Time flies, another day has passed.

The next day, the media's remarks changed.

[The biggest failure of Green Lantern is that they chose Tom Cruise, a Hollywood superstar who became famous for Mission: Impossible to play Green Lantern. It turns out that he can only be considered a superstar when he plays Mission: Impossible . 】

This sentence is cruel enough to directly obliterate all of Tom Cruise's previous efforts, and attribute Tom Cruise's success to the Mission Impossible series.

In disguise, he became famous by relying on the films directed by Steve Kevin.

[Warner Bros.' biggest mistake was choosing Tom Cruise to play Green Lantern. In fact, in him, we don't feel the spirit of a superhero at all...]

[Green Lantern's box office fell by more than 30%, the biggest reason for which is Tom Cruise...]

Inside Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills mansion.

Look at all the newspapers in front of him criticizing him.

Tom Cruston was furious.

"Isn't the biggest reason why the movie failed the director? Why are they all attacking me..."

At this point, the original anger has also turned into doubt.

Tom Cruise hurriedly called his friends in the circle to hear it, and after a while, he got the news he wanted.

That's why he gritted his teeth.

"Warner is such a bastard, he actually wants me to take the blame."

"No, I can't sit still."

Unable to sit still, Tom Chris looked outside the house before calling Steve Kevin.

Kevin, who was resting in the villa, answered the phone.

"Kevin, it's me, Tom Cruise, are you in the villa now?"

"I am here."

"I have something to talk to you about."

"Come here."

Kevin hung up the phone.

Only then did I ponder the intention of Tom Cruise.

But other than guessing that Tom Cruise came because of Green Lantern's loss, the other Kevins can't guess.

A moment later, the doorbell rang.

Kevin went out and took Tom Cruise into the villa.

After arranging Tom Cruise to sit down, Kevin asked directly:

"It's so late, what's the matter with you looking for me?"

Tom Cruise nodded and said sincerely:

"Kevin, I'm here to ask you for help."

"What help?"

"I will help if I can!"

Kevin agreed immediately.

Brother Tom has not overturned in the future, and he is still very famous. He is still very useful to Kevin. At some point, these superstars who have a huge influence on fans can play a huge role.

Tom Cruise had a grateful look on his face.

He didn't believe that Steve Kevin didn't know what happened today, but Steve Kevin was still willing to express his position to help him, which made Tom Cruise, who was used to seeing the warmth of people in the circle, warm in his heart.

Of course, the affair between his wife and Kevin might also have an impact.

But anyway, he and Nicole Kidman are a contract couple.

It's been a long time since they were separated. If they play with women, there are arrangements from the church. They are more tender than the other. He has no feelings for Nicole Kidman for a long time.

Nicole Kidman can find whoever he wants, and Steve Kevin can still benefit him if he finds it.

Looking at Kevin, Tom Cruise started talking about what happened today.

"I just read the newspaper and it was full of comments that attacked me. At first, I didn't realize anything was wrong."

"After I read more than a dozen newspapers, I found that there were basically only comments that attacked me. I didn't think it was normal."

"So I called my friends and learned from them that it was Warner Bros. who manipulated the media to attack me in order to avoid the loss of Green Lantern from affecting them."

"That's where the one-sided commentary in today's newspapers comes in."

Kevin nodded, and to put it bluntly, Warner Bros. used its own factors to make the media tend to criticize Tom Cruise, so that the group of Warner Bros. was picked out.

"Then how do you want me to help you?"

"I want you to come forward, speak up in newspapers or on TV, support me, and help me refute those statements."

"In your next movie, I can use the lowest price to play the second and third male roles, and fully cooperate with the promotion."

This condition is actually quite sincere.

When it comes to a superstar at the level of Tom Cruise, it is basically impossible to play a supporting role.

For a superstar of this level, to play a supporting role is to help others raise their coffee, which is a very cheap behavior.

At the same time the lowest price, but also greatly save money.

I have to say, Kevin was heartbroken.

And Kevin's next film, The Fast and the Furious, which features Walker Paul, also seems like a good fit for Tom Cruise.

The story of Fast and Furious is actually very simple. It is a series of stories about an undercover police detective who is undercover in the gang.

In fact, in theory, the undercover detective is the protagonist.

But maybe it was the original Walker Paul, whose aura couldn't hold Vin Diesel down, causing the whole movie to look like a dual protagonist.

Later, Vin Diesel was simply turned into a regular and became the protagonist.

That's why Kevin was ready to upright Dominic Toretto's character in the first place.

However, if Tom Cruise is willing to drop the coffee, it seems not bad to directly shoot as a double protagonist.

Of course, the subsequent plot lines can be buried in two.

If Tom Cruise is willing to continue to act in the future, and the salary is not too excessive, he will use Tom Cruise as the protagonist, or continue the dual-protagonist line.

If you don't want to play, Kevin will continue to play Dwayne Johnson as the protagonist.

Then go to invite Jason Statham to continue to build the rest of the sequel.

It has to be said that Kevin still has a good impression of him thanks to his similar appearance to Guoda Statham.

But at this time, Jason Statham, has he entered the showbiz?

Kevin frowned thoughtfully.

Tom Cruise on the side saw Kevin's brows furrowed, and his heart tightened.

Is Kevin not willing to help him?

Chapter 281 Kevin's Film Review

Cruise hurriedly continued to ask:

"Kevin, what do you think of the conditions I said?"

Kevin came back to his senses and replied:

"Fine, I was just thinking about something."

"That's it, it just so happens that my new movie is a two-star drama. I'll pay you fifteen million dollars and need you to play with a newcomer. Do you think it's alright?"

At Cruise's price, 15 million is still worth it. After all, it is the top five superstars in Hollywood in this era.

Cruise has this appeal, at least the 15 million dollars can be earned back casually, which Kevin did not question.

As for the lower price, Kevin can't say it, that's an insult to Cruise.

"no problem."

Cruise agreed immediately.

The decline of Green Lantern is too terrifying, and the word of mouth is also rotten to the extreme.

Judging from this drop, it is estimated that it will be released in a week.

The negative impact of this on him must be very large, and if he receives a movie later, the salary will probably drop to 20 million US dollars without any share.

And being able to play the lead role in Steve Kevin's new movie, even if it's a little less, as long as the movie is a success.

He is still the superstar, and the salary in the future can still maintain the level of over 20 million US dollars with a split.

"Okay, I'll contact Chenxi Films later and ask them to speak in the newspaper on my behalf and point the finger at the director."

Cruise nodded.

As for Warner Bros., the two tacitly did not mention it.

Although Kevin and Warner are a little bit against each other, there is no need to confront Warner Bros. when his interests are not involved.

Cruise also doesn't want to offend Warner Bros. too hard.

Therefore, the two tacitly pointed their finger at the director.

Anyway, Martin Campbell is in the circle, and he doesn't have a strong network. Both of them offend him, and there is no place to ask him. Naturally, they are not afraid of attacking him.

After negotiating with Kevin, Cruise happily invited Kevin to have a meal, and then left Kevin's villa.

Wait until Cruise leaves.

Kevin first gathered his various views on Green Lantern into a film review, and then called Dawson and asked him to contact a large media to publish his film review.

Then, by fax, the film review was sent to the company.
