MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 35

Once it does not meet their cognition, it will naturally be bad word of mouth and abuse.

The various skills shown by Ethan in the movie looked like a trained ace agent, and the various skills expressed made the film manager and several of them show their expressions of astonishment.

Obviously, they have been completely attracted and immersed in the story and the world constructed by the film.

Kevin, who was on the side, watched their reactions, and suddenly he knew that Mission Impossible had become.

The certification of an excellent film actually has many sayings.

But in Kevin's view, the most basic point is that there is no drama, and the audience can be immersed in the movie world and attracted by the story, then the movie is half successful.

The rest depends on the story, whether it can firmly grasp the audience's attraction in just over an hour.

Apparently, he did.

Mission: Impossible has thoroughly captured the audience's appeal, as can be attested by several presidents and film managers staring at the Mission: Impossible story on the screen.

...

More than an hour passed in a flash.

MGM President Leiter was the first to come back to his senses, and he congratulated Kevin the moment he got up.

"Director Kevin, you have successfully made a wonderful commercial blockbuster!"

This is undoubtedly a compliment to Kevin.

For all film companies, a director who professionally shoots commercial films is the most popular among them.

This is the key person who can keep their company going.

In Leiter's eyes, there is a look of thirst for talent. Obviously, he can't wait to bring Kevin into MGM's banner.

There was also a flash of ambition in Kevin's eyes, and then he instantly subsided.

MGM wants to take him, why doesn't he want to take MGM into the bag.

Robinoff listened to the views of Warner Bros. viewing managers.

"The top commercial blockbuster, if you score it, can be rated S. I think this will be another classic spy war movie that is enough to go down in history with the 007 series."

A chunky middle-aged white male, said with a positive tone.

He is Warner Bros., the highest-ranking film manager.

After watching more than 20 years of movies and movies rated by him, the market response has not shown much fluctuation.

S-class commercial blockbuster, and spy war film comparable to 007, these two comments came out.

Robinoff knew immediately that Mission Impossible was going to explode.

What followed was dissatisfaction with Warner's only 30% investment share, and coveted the follow-up Mission Impossible.

pity.

As soon as this comment came out, Robinov knew that Paramount had no possibility to release the copyright of Mission Impossible.

Aside from Robinoff's annoyance, Reiter also asked MGM's viewing manager for his opinion.

"Enough to rival the 007 series!"

"Best spy movie I've ever seen!"

"Wonderful, my mind is still echoing several classic scenes in the film~~"

"..."

Through the unanimous opinions of these film managers, as well as his own personal experience, let Leiter know that his adventure has been successful.

After arranging other people, Leiter brought Kevin and Robinoff to his president's office.

Immediately afterwards, Leiter handed each of them a newspaper.

Kevin stared at the newspaper, and immediately saw the dark material about Tom Cruise on it.

What about joining an unknown organization, what domestic violence, what rumors about an affair with Angelina Jolie, what rumors about drug use, almost covered half of the cover of the newspaper.

Robinoff also saw this.

Kevin had already seen it when he was working on the post-production content of the film.

But how to deal with it, he and Leiter invariably chose to talk about it after watching the movie.

And now, after Mission: Impossible has proved itself, Warner and MGM naturally can't sit back and watch these newspapers wantonly disseminate Tom Cruise's black material to affect Mission: Impossible's box office results.

.....

Chapter 56 Mission Impossible Released

The forces behind Warner Bros. and MGM made their move at the same time, and the news slandering Tom Cruise in the newspapers was swept away in an instant, and all that followed were discussions about Mission: Impossible, which was released the day before Thanksgiving.

As the childhood memories of countless people, the adaptation of Mission Impossible has attracted the attention of many passers-by long before filming.

There are those who are looking forward to this classic American drama being reborn in the hands of Kevin, and there are also those who resist, fearing that they will produce a classic that will destroy it.

No matter which angle the audience looks at, what Mission Impossible gains is attention.

With attention, whether it's spraying, curiosity, or liking, they will enter the cinema to find out...

The normal release of a movie is generally after the movie is completed, and the movie is watched internally first, that is, an internal preview.

In the case of a good reputation, film critics will be invited to hold a screening, and then the film will be released.

The specific arrangement will be adjusted according to the film itself.

As a commercial blockbuster with little connotation, Mission Impossible's audience is obviously different from Kevin's first two films, including film critics.

Therefore, this time, everyone chose to show it directly and gave up the step of showing it.

At the same time, after negotiating with Kevin and Paramount, another 10 million publicity expenses were added.

Be sure to put up posters of Mission Impossible in the major movie theaters, the aisles.

At the same time, the power of the media was launched to promote it with all its strength.

......

The day before Thanksgiving, Mission Impossible officially opened in the theater.

Thanks to the vigorous publicity, countless people chose to walk into the movie theater to feel the quality of this crazy-promoted movie, and this time, Kevin also chose to enter the movie to truly feel the audience's feelings about Mission Impossible. reaction.

The driver Chen Zhiwen was waiting in the car. Kevin took Angelina Jolie to the back seat of the movie theater. The makeup changed. In addition, Angelina Jolie at this time still lacked a real big production, and her popularity was not so great. high.

Let Kevin not worry about being surrounded by fans.

The two quietly hid in the back row and waited for the release of Mission Impossible.

Julie shook Kevin's hand nervously.

If the success of escaping from the fatal town has given her a little reputation in Hollywood, then the heroine of Mission Impossible is the real role that can make her famous.

The heroine of a large-scale commercial film is the shortcut to her fame.

But if Mission Impossible fails, it will be a devastating blow to her.

The director still has the possibility of turning over, and the actor fails to make a big production, especially an actress like her who has no capital behind her.

It means the end of the star road.

She couldn't help but be nervous.

...

"Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise's spy adventure, sounds good, hopefully it won't let us down."

A middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties sat in front of Kevin with his teenage son and said to himself.

"Cruise!"

The child waved the toy in his hand and called Cruise's name.

Although Cruise's largest audience is female, there are also some male audiences.

Obviously, the family sitting in front of Kevin are all Cruise fans.

Next to the father and son, a middle-aged man who looked very majestic said viciously to his friend:

"If Steve Kevin ruins Mission Impossible's reputation, I swear, I'll beat him up."

Apparently, that's what fans of the Mission: Impossible series are all about.

The first wave of audiences who came to the cinema were basically fans of Cruise or Mission Impossible dramas, only when Mission Impossible passed their mouths and fermented a good reputation.

to attract more audiences.

With the discussion of the audience, the film was officially released.

........

At the beginning of the movie, a team of CIA agents, led by Tom Cruise, immediately told the audience through words that they were on a mission.

The mission is to catch a thief with an extremely classified disc.

Abandoning all useless plots, the movie tells the audience the identity of the protagonist and what to do at the beginning of the movie.

Immediately afterwards, the audience merged into the movie world with the transformation of the pictures on the movie screen.

After everything was ready, Ethan, played by Tom Cruise, and the team members he led started the activity.

At the same time, a picture from the CIA was played on the screen, telling the audience that this mission was designed by the CIA to capture the traitors in the special agent team.

Then the screen turned and came to the place where Ethan's special team performed the mission.

Ethan's team started to act. When the mission was about to be completed, a sudden change occurred. Ethan was shocked that they were ambushed. The entire team, except Ethan, was wiped out.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of dollars from unknown sources entered Ethan's account.

CIA leaders, taking this evidence, began to suspect that the only surviving agent, Ethan, was the real insider.

Ethan, who escaped from the ambush, returned to the CIA and learned that he was the only survivor, as well as the CIA's suspicions about him.

After discovering that he was framed, Ethan resolutely used his skills and disguise ability to escape from the CIA and began his own way of clearing his grievances.

More than half an hour has passed since the movie was here. Kevin, who was sitting in the back row, saw at a glance that no one went to the toilet.

All the energy and attention of everyone is on the film.

People are eager to know how Ethan can cleanse himself and who is the traitor hidden in the CIA.

There was silence in the cinema, only the sound of the movie's original sound came out.

Kevin nodded with satisfaction, this was the effect he wanted, and then he continued to watch the movie.

Ethan, who escaped from the CIA, returned to the base of the previous team's preparatory mission, where he relied on the information obtained from his exchanges with the leader, and successfully got in touch with the intelligence dealer Max as a ghost.

At the same time, he expressed the news that he wanted to meet him, and gained the trust of Max by using the news that the CIA disc was fake.

At this time, the original team member Claire (Angelina Jolie) suddenly returned to the stronghold, which made Ethan, who heard from the leader's mouth that the team was completely destroyed, questioned Claire, and further suspected that she was the real insider. ghost.

However, Ethan did not immediately confirm his guess because of his admiration for the beautiful Claire and his trust in his colleagues.

Afterwards, Ethan met with Max as agreed, and at this time Max naturally knew that he was not an insider in the CIA.

But for the intelligence dealer Max, the only thing he needs is the disc. After Ethan proposed to exchange the disc for the real identity of the ghost, Max agreed decisively.

Chapter 57 The First Day Box Office Comes Out

So Ethan recruited a team and started his own specific operation of stealing discs from the CIA and obtaining the identity of the ghost.

....

The latter content, as the director Kevin naturally knows.

Under the premise of knowing the plot, Mission Impossible becomes somewhat less interesting.

And Kevin naturally focused on the audience's reaction.

For a qualified commercial blockbuster, if the duration is qualified, it must achieve the most basic point of no urine throughout the whole process, which Kevin has done.

The Mission Impossible he filmed was not completely based on the original version, but added a lot of small details to it.

In his previous life, he owned the entire Douban, and he had already analyzed all the problems of Mission Impossible.

For example, the story is rough, and some are not convincing enough.
