The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 431: Fired squid

Regardless of whether it is soft sci-fi or hard sci-fi, it is recognized that it is not popular at the Oscars.

Tom Cruise also understood this, and said: I never thought that I could hit the best actor with this film, I just wanted to get a nomination to increase my qualifications in the future.

Yeah, it's too difficult for sci-fi films to win awards. Ronan said honestly, Even if the director is Spielberg, it's not easy to use.

Tom Cruise said with a smile: That's why I tried to canvass votes, and the agent is also working hard.

Hearing about the agent, Ronan suddenly thought of the list of potential seed players for the award season that he had seen before. There was a movie called The Hours on it, and the heroine was Nicole Kidman.

Ronan asked: Tom, I have a question. Given his friendship with Tom Cruise, there was nothing wrong with asking: Are you still the same manager as Nicole?

There was nothing bad to say to Ronan. Tom Cruise said directly: Yes, Pat Kingsley is my agent and Nicole. It has been in the mid-1990s and we have been working together.

Pat Kingsley has worked with Tom Cruise for many years, and Ronan would not be so stupid as to say directly, insinuating: Did Pat Kingsley get closer to Nicole Kidman?

Tom Cruise glanced at Ronan and said, They're all women.

This is tantamount to acknowledging Ronan's statement in disguise.

Ronan said: As far as I know, Nicole is also preparing for Best Actress. An agent helps two clients to compete for the Olympics at the same time. There is always something that can't be taken care of. Tom, I want to get nominated, I think It’s still up to you and the production company to do the bulk of the work.”

When others say this, Tom Cruise will only ignore it, but when it comes from Ronan's mouth, Tom Cruise still pays more attention to it.

He has been with Ronan for several years, and he has always felt that Ronan's vision and overall situation are particularly outstanding.

Tom Cruise thought about it, since the divorce, Nicole Kidman's acting career seems to have entered the fast lane, in which Pat Kingsley played a vital role.

It is said that Nicole Kidman hugged Harvey Weinstein's thick legs, and Pat Kingsley was also a matchmaker.

Recently, the media has been hyping how he is sorry for Nicole Kidman, and Nicole Kidman left Tom Cruise like a bird out of a cage.

Will there be pushes from Pat Kingsley and Harvey Weinstein?

Thinking of Nicole Kidman working with Harvey Weinstein, who also helped her win the Oscar for Best Actress, Tom Cruise touched his head unconsciously.

Even an ex-wife is somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, this is not the same thing as the ex-wife looking for a boyfriend again.

After Ronan reminded Tom Cruise, seeing him thoughtful, he knew that it had attracted attention, so he didn't say anything more, and simply changed the subject: Last time I heard Will mention something, he said that you are going to restart The Mission: Impossible series?

Tom Cruise smiled and said, It's just a plan, and it won't be until after Spielberg and I finish War of the Worlds.

Ronan asked, Continue to work with Paramount Pictures?

Yeah, I have a long-term contract with Paramount Pictures. Tom Cruise said: Paramount Pictures is the sole distributor of the Mission: Impossible series.

He turned to ask: By the way, what suggestions do you have for the sequel?

Ronan said directly: Use less computer special effects, use more real shots, and then find a suitable director. He couldn't help laughing: Tom, as long as you play Ethan Hunt, the success of the film will definitely not be a problem.

From the first part to the sixth part, Mission: Impossible, the world-renowned super IP, has spanned more than 20 years, and has been able to grasp the ever-changing film market structure and public aesthetic taste. It is still controversial to surpass the previous work to reach the pinnacle of the series, but from the perspective of maintaining classic word-of-mouth, except for the second word-of-mouth, which is poor, every other word-of-mouth is quite good.

Compared with those remakes and unfinished series of movies,

The Mission: Impossible series can be regarded as a conscientious production.

From buying the copyright of an ordinary spy TV series to adapting it to a movie, a CD with a list of spies opened the curtain of a movie and also opened the glorious era of Ethan Hunt.

After more than two decades, Hollywood spy movies have emerged one after another, but the Mission: Impossible series has already reached the top.

The reason is that the series has brought its core competitiveness - Tom Cruise to the extreme.

In fact, in terms of visual effects and technological content, Mission: Impossible is not as good as the 007 series; in terms of plot arrangement and psychological games, it is also difficult to compare with The Bourne, but it has a desperately good movie. Cruise, and this, cannot help but move people.

Once Ronan sighed after watching Mission Impossible 6, the most amazing thing about this movie is that many plots make people think it is stand-in + green screen + special effects, but in fact it is Tom Cruise. real shot.

In the film, Ethan Hunt, who is limping and gritting his teeth, is not entirely acting. To some extent, it is also the most realistic expression of a mortal human after being injured.

Sometimes, returning to basics may not be a bad thing, especially when superheroes are flying all over the screen, a character who explores the limits of action movies with flesh and blood is particularly attractive.

The special effects of movie g have advanced by leaps and bounds, and the audience's aesthetic taste has also been spoiled by dazzling blockbusters.

It just so happened that Mission Impossible and Tom Cruise did the opposite, exploring the human limits of action movies with the flesh and blood of actors.

To be exaggerated, the standard of each Mission: Impossible movie is almost determined by the height of Tom Cruise's bungee jumping, from the early Wia show in the secret room, to the rock climbing show, the wire show, the jumping show, and then To pick up the plane show and skydiving show...

Although the plot is old, it is accurate and effective.

Originally my favorite director was Paul Greengrass. Tom Cruise said at this time: But he has been filming the Bourne Shadow series for you in the past few years. It's so distinctive.

Ronan nodded: This is Paul's strength. But when it comes to movies of the same type, it will become a weakness. Mission: Impossible cannot completely become the style of Bourne.

Tom Cruise fully agreed with Ronan's statement: I'll look for other directors, slowly. He changed the subject: I heard that Netflix has obtained some Internet licenses from DreamWorks. You don't like Spielberg, the price is not low, right?

Ronan said: The work is done by people from Netflix.

Tom Cruise asked: The company you bought has had a good year.

Ronan smiled and said, It's okay.

I know that your company is developing very well. Tom Cruise said again: All the movies released this year are all big sellers and make a lot of money.

Ronan was not humble either, and said, It's a little gain.

Tom Cruise pointed at him, and said, If Relativity Entertainment only has some gains, wouldn't other small and medium-sized film companies have to vomit blood?

He looked at the time, stood up and said, I have to go to the public relations company and the brokerage company, and we can talk when I have time.

After Ronan sent him out, he still reminded: You and Nicole are both competing for the prize. The manager has no skills at all, so don't expect too much from her.

Tom Cruise replied: I will make adjustments.

After leaving Relativity Entertainment, Tom Cruise got into the car and made several phone calls, some to AA and other managers, some to friends in the media industry, and some to related public relations companies.

He has worked hard in Hollywood for more than 20 years and has a huge network of contacts.

After the brokerage company and the public relations company finished their work, the outbound calls were answered one after another. Although the answers given were a bit vague and not very clear, Tom Cruise was very clear that Pat Kingsley really had a bias.

It's hard to find out the past things in a short period of time, but the awards season is underway, and Oscar public relations are in full swing. It is not particularly difficult to find out about the matter of him and his ex-wife hitting the Oscar for acting.

I didn't notice it before, but now I notice it, and I find that things are really as Ronan reminded me.

Tom Cruise was a little grateful to Ronan, and felt that Ronan must have noticed something, so he specifically mentioned the matter of Oscar PR.

When it comes to seeing the big picture and seeing people, it seems that he is really inferior to Ronan.

Not to be outdone.

When Tom Cruise was driving back to Beverly Hills, he specifically called Ronan and invited him to have a drink at his place in the evening. Unexpectedly, that guy Ronan refused!

As for the reason, he didn't hide it from him. That guy Ronan had a crush on a little singer, and he wanted to have sex with the female singer at night.

Tom Cruise's gratitude disappeared in an instant, this guy valued sex over friends!

Back home, after dinner, Tom Cruise thought about it seriously, especially about the agent.

This is not only related to this year's Oscar, but also related to the subsequent cooperation.

Since Pat Kingsley's position is in favor of Nicole Kidman, it's time to end the cooperation with her. Although the economic contract has not yet expired, she just needs to be fired, at worst, pay some liquidated damages.

If you don't leave aa, you don't even need liquidated damages.

For a star actor like him, it's easy to change an agent. Just say hello to the agency, and aa will take the initiative to do it.

Tom Cruise thought about it for a while, even if he fired Pat Kingsley, it would not be now. It would take time for the manager to hand over the work and cooperate with him, which would have a negative effect on the Oscar public relations, which was not going well at all. have a huge negative impact.

Then wait until after the Oscar nominations are announced or the Oscars are over.

In the next few days, through investigations, Tom Cruise became more and more sure that Pat Kingsley's main energy and resources were on Nicole Kidman, and he made up his mind to fire his agent after a while. squid.
