After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Once it doesn't conform to their cognition, it will naturally lead to bad reputation and abuse.

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

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

Kevin on the side watched their reactions, and he knew immediately that Mission: Impossible was done.

There are actually many sayings about the certification of an excellent movie.

But in Kevin's view, the most basic point is not to play, so that the audience can immerse themselves in the movie world and be attracted by the story, then the movie is half successful.

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

Apparently, he did.

Mission: Impossible has completely captured the appeal of the audience. This can be proved by several executives and film managers who are staring at the story of Mission: Impossible on the screen.

...

More than an hour is fleeting.

Leiter, the president of MGM, was the first to recover. He congratulated Kevin the moment he got up.

"Director Kevin, you have successfully produced another 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.

Leiter's eyes revealed a look of eagerness for talents. Obviously, he couldn't wait to get Kevin into MGM's banner.

A gleam of ambition also flashed in Kevin's eyes, and then he retracted instantly.

MGM wanted to accept him, so why didn't he want to have MGM in his pocket.

Robinoff listened to Warner Bros. viewing managers.

"A top commercial blockbuster, if you rate it, it can be rated S. I think this will be another classic spy war movie that is worthy of the 007 series."

A chunky middle-aged white male said with affirmative tone.

He is the highest-ranking viewing manager in Warner Bros.

After watching movies for more than 20 years, the market reaction to the movies rated by him has not fluctuated much.

An S-level commercial blockbuster, and a spy movie comparable to 007, these two comments came out.

Robinov immediately knew that Mission: Impossible was going to explode.

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

pity.

As soon as this comment came out, Robinov knew that there was no possibility that Paramount would release the copyright of Mission: Impossible.

Aside from Robinov's annoyance, Rhett also asked MGM's viewing manager for his opinion.

"Comparable to the 007 series!"

"The best spy movie I've ever seen!"

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

"..."

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

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

Immediately afterwards, Leiter handed each of them a newspaper.

Kevin stared at the newspaper and immediately saw the black material about Tom Cruise.

About joining an unknown organization, about domestic violence, about having an affair with Angelina Jolie, about taking drugs, almost covered half of the covers of newspapers.

Robinoff saw these too.

When Kevin was working on the post-production content of the movie, he had seen it.

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

And now, after Mission: Impossible has proved itself, Warner and MGM naturally cannot sit back and watch these newspapers wantonly disseminate Tom Cruise's black material and thus affect the box office performance of Mission: Impossible.

.....

Chapter 56 Mission: Impossible released

The forces behind Warner Bros. and MGM shot at the same time, and the news of slandering Tom Cruise in the newspapers was swept away in an instant, and all the discussions about Mission: Impossible, which was released the day before Thanksgiving, came in an instant.

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

There are those who look forward to the revival of this classic American drama in the hands of Kevin, and those who resist, fearing that they will produce a classic that will destroy the classic.

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

With attention, whether they are spraying or curious, or like it, they will enter the movie theater to find out...

The normal release of a movie is generally after the movie is completed, and the movie is first watched in-house, that is, an in-house trial screening.

If the word of mouth is good, then invite film critics to hold screenings, and then release it to the public.

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

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

Therefore, this time, everyone chose the direct release and gave up the step of order screening.

At the same time, after discussing with Kevin and Paramount, an additional 1000 million publicity expenses were added.

Be sure to post Mission: Impossible posters in the aisles of major movie theaters.

At the same time, mobilize the power of the media and fully promote it.

.......

The time came the day before Thanksgiving, and Mission: Impossible officially opened in theaters.

Thanks to the vigorous publicity, countless people chose to walk into the cinema to feel the quality of this crazy publicized movie, and this time, Kevin also chose to go into the movie to really feel the audience's perception of 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, and at this time, Angelina Jolie still lacked real big productions, so her popularity was not that great. high.

Let Kevin not worry about being surrounded by fans.

The two quietly hid in the back row waiting for the release of Mission: Impossible.

Julie shook Kevin's hand nervously.

If the success of escaping from Deadly Town gave her a little fame in Hollywood, then the Mission: Impossible heroine in front of her is the real role that can make her famous.

The heroine of a big-budget commercial film is her shortcut to fame.

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

The director still has the possibility of turning around, and the actor's big production failed, especially an actress like her who has no capital to support her.

It also means the end of the star road.

She couldn't help being nervous.

...

"Mission: Impossible, Tom Cruise's secret agent adventure, sounds good, and I hope it won't disappoint us."

A middle-aged man in his 30s 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 audience, there is also a part of male audience.

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

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

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

Apparently, this is what fans of the Mission: Impossible episode have to offer.

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

to attract more viewers.

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

........

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

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

Abandoning all useless plots, the protagonist's identity and what to do are told to the audience from the beginning of the movie.

Immediately afterwards, the audience integrated into the movie world as the images on the movie screen changed.

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

At the same time, a scene from the CIA was played in the screen, telling the audience that this mission was designed by the CIA to catch the traitors in the secret service team.

Then the screen changed, and it came to the place where Ethan's secret agent team was performing their mission.

Ethan's team started to move, and when the task was about to be completed, something happened, and Ethan realized that they were ambushed. The entire team, except for Ethan, was wiped out.

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

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

And Ethan, who escaped from the ambush, got the news that he was the only survivor after returning to the CIA, and also knew the CIA's suspicion of him.

After finding out that he was framed, Ethan decisively used his skills and disguise ability to escape from the CIA and started his own path to wash away his grievances.

At this point in the movie, more than half an hour has passed. Kevin, who was sitting in the back row, looked at him and saw that no one went to the toilet.

All the energy and attention of everyone is put in the movie.

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

The movie theater was silent, only the sound of the original movie came out.

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

Ethan, who escaped from the CIA, returned to the base where the team was preparing for the mission. There, relying on the information he obtained from the communication with the leader, he successfully got in touch with the intelligence dealer Max as an insider.

At the same time, he expressed the news that he wanted to meet with him, and gained Max's trust by using the news that the CIA's 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 that the team was completely wiped out, questioned Claire, and further suspected that she was the real insider. ghost.

However, Ethan didn't immediately confirm his guess because of his admiration for Claire, a beautiful woman, and his trust in his colleagues.

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

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

Chapter 57

So Ethan recruited a team and started his specific operation of stealing the disc from the CIA and obtaining the identity of the insider.

...

Kevin, as the director, naturally knows the following content.

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

And Kevin naturally focused on the audience's reaction.

A qualified commercial blockbuster must achieve the most basic non-urinating point in the whole process when the duration is qualified, and Kevin has achieved this.

The Mission Impossible he shot did not follow the original version completely, but added a lot of small details to it.

He, who owned the entire Douban in his previous life, has already analyzed all the problems of Mission: Impossible.

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