After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Here, Kevin more or less made up a lot of details.

Let the whole story become more real and complete.

Then there are several action scenes that Kevin arranged for Agent Ethan.

The movements designed by the team of Yuan Baye, who is from Hong Kong Island and is currently the strongest martial arts finger in the world, combine the graceful posture of Chinese martial arts in the movie, and at the same time have the crisp and agile skills that fit the identity of an agent.

The audience couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Be amazed by Tom Cruise's skill in the movie.

In these action scenes, Kevin did not choose to use editing to process, but put forward his own demanding requirements for Tom Cruise.

That is to let Cruise thoroughly master these action routines, and he will add a little acceleration to the picture in the later stage. As for whether the shots are beautiful or not, it depends on Tom Cruise's own ability.

As far as his previous test screenings are concerned, Cruise's performance is quite good.

Sure enough, the audience was also very satisfied with Ethan's play.

A movie, just over an hour, ended quickly.

Kevin took Julie and left the cinema slowly, and all the words around him were satisfied with Mission: Impossible.

As for the dissatisfaction of some literary youths, Kevin completely ignored them.

As a purely commercial film, Mission: Impossible does not have any artistry, and Kevin at this time does not allow it to have any artistry.

Of course, lack of artistry does not prevent it from being a classic movie.

Now Kevin, all he wants is to become a real big man in Hollywood, what he needs is a lot of dollars and not other things.

Oscar can slowly make up for it later, and if MGM and Marvel miss it, there will be no more. He has calculated clearly in his heart.

...

After getting the feedback he wanted, Kevin took Julie home directly.

On the other hand, Leiter, the president of MGM, didn't sleep all night.

Unlike Kevin, who is full of confidence, he deeply knows that sometimes whether a movie is good or not has nothing to do with the box office.

The box office of this movie is related to whether he can continue to be the president of MGM in the future, so he doesn't pay attention.

As the major theaters gathered all the news, Leiter asked the staff in charge of summarizing the data with a nervous face.

"How much was the box office on the first day of Mission: Impossible?"

The staff looked at the data in front of them again, and then said excitedly:

"President, Mission: Impossible earned 560 million box office on the first day!"

"This has created the top two first-day box office this year, and only Jurassic Park is ranked above it. You know, that is the masterpiece of the great director Spielberg!"

Rhett was also excited.

"So we succeeded?"

"After so many years, is MGM finally going to achieve another glory!"

"Quick, call Kevin, I want to tell him the news.",

Lei Te wanted to share this joy with Kevin the first time he came back to his senses, and quickly ordered his secretary to call Kevin.

...

A person secretly hid on the sofa outside to enjoy the sage's time, and at the same time used the computer to browse some materials.

Hearing the phone ring, Kevin quickly picked it up.

"Hey, Kevin, I'm Leiter, the first-day box office of Mission: Impossible is out."

"How many?"

Kevin asked calmly, he was confident that it would not be too bad.

A number that surprised him came from the other end of the phone.

"Twenty-five million six hundred and eighty thousand dollars!"

"Mission: Impossible's first-day box office was $560 million!"

Rhett shouted excitedly.

Kevin was very calm and asked calmly:

"Leite, based on your experience, how much do you think the final global box office of Mission: Impossible will be?"

Leiter hesitated for a moment, calculated roughly according to MGM's calculation formula, and then said:

"Say less than half a billion dollars!"

"In this case, don't forget our agreement, I can't wait to join the MGM family."

Kevin didn't hide his thoughts, and said directly to Leiter's surface.

Leiter didn't have any dissatisfaction.

Kevin's director ability has been proven once again in Mission: Impossible. He is the talent that MGM needs most at this time.

His joining is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger.

"Of course, MGM welcomes you to join us. Specifically, we will start formal negotiations after Mission: Impossible is released."

"MGM will definitely satisfy you!"

Kevin nodded and ended the exchange.

On the other hand, Warner Bros. and Paramount also received news from the theaters almost at the same time.

Mission: Impossible's amazing box office results on the first day surprised them as well.

While Paramount was pleasantly surprised, it was also very regretful.

The delicacies lying in their mouths were inexplicably divided among several outsiders.

This made them feel a burst of heartache, but on the other hand, the follow-up copyright is in their hands, and Steve Kevin has laid such a good foundation for them.

Follow-up, it is time for them to lie down and make money.

Paramount began thinking ahead about inviting Kevin and Tom Cruise to shoot Mission: Impossible 2 movie plans...

Chapter 58 Party

The next day, news of Mission: Impossible's box office explosion and countless viewers' praise immediately appeared in the newspapers.

But don't realize that these are free, the 1000 million follow-up publicity fee, in addition to media publicity, also includes the role of shutting up film critics.

Otherwise, bad reviews are absolutely indispensable for commercial blockbusters.

Don't feed them enough and they'll give Mission: Impossible crazy bad reviews in the print media.

And this kind of public relations can only be managed for a week or so.

However, what Warner and MGM are fighting for is only the first week. The box office is the most profitable time in the first week. Whoever dares to criticize at this time will naturally welcome their blows.

As for the latter, after the box office began to decline, with the previous box office results, the impact of bad reviews is not so great.

...

At the same time that Warner and MGM made their moves, the theaters couldn't sit still after seeing the popularity of Mission: Impossible.

Commercial blockbusters are movies with the widest audience. Knowing that Mission: Impossible is a hit at the box office and has a good reputation, the theaters decisively took measures to squeeze the screens of other movies that did not perform well, adding them to the Among the number of Mission Impossible screens.

Under such circumstances, the box office will be released the next day.

The box office of Mission: Impossible reached a new high, reaching a terrifying box office score of around 900 million. This figure made everyone dumbfounded.

......

CAA building.

Ovitz looked at the achievements made by Kevin and Cruise, and immediately regretted it in his heart.

A director whose films have become popular one after another is definitely an extremely precious and cherished resource in Hollywood.

It's a pity that such resources were forced away by their CAA's strong attitude.

Countless thoughts arose in my heart, and finally, Ovitz picked up his mobile phone and called Cruise.

"Hey, Cruise, congratulations on your movie smash."

"Thank you!"

Cruise was a little puzzled. Normally, Ovitz would not call him to congratulate him on this kind of thing.

"The movie is a big hit, do you want to hold a party? It's best to invite Kevin and other heroes here, and the cost of the party will be handed over to CAA."

Ovitz suggested.

Cruise understood what he meant. Although Kevin had a falling out with CAA, the falling out was not irreversible.

Build a reconciliation channel for CAA and Kevin, and he is willing to be the person who reconciles.

"Okay, leave the matter to me."

After hanging up the phone, Cruise decisively called Kevin and invited him to the party he hosted.

Similarly, in addition to Kevin and the heroine, those who participated in this party also included some people from MGM, Warner, Paramount, and other stars in Hollywood.

The biggest function of this kind of party is to provide them with better cooperation opportunities.

...

Received the next day's box office results, along with an invite to Cruise's party.

Only then did Kevin completely relax.

As a director and investor, he is under the greatest pressure. If he fails, he will lose not only money, but also reputation.

A director who never fails has a very different reputation from a director who has failed.

Reflected in the outside world, the biggest gap is to attract investment.

Kevin, who has succeeded three times in a row, now has the ability to pull up a big production alone. With his fame, even if he doesn't cooperate with other film companies, he can still produce a movie with a large investment by himself.

There are plenty of people out there wanting to invest in his new movie.

Of course, external investment is different from Hollywood investment, which he knows very well.

For a big production, if there is no investment from Hollywood giants, there will be a lot of troubles in the middle.

Bribing people to burn the film, rating restrictions, suppression of public opinion, all kinds of troubles, I don’t know how much more it will cost.

The reason why Kevin has never encountered these troubles is because he knows how to share benefits very well.

The first movie, the majority of the interests of the chainsaw was given to New Line, and Warner got a share of the pie through overseas distribution.

The second movie is simply invested by New Line and Warner.

Needless to say, the third movie is the investment of Warner, Paramount, and MGM.

In Hollywood, if you get the investment from these three companies and still get troubled, it will undoubtedly be a provocation to these giants.

No one can bear the counterattack of the Big Three.

That's why Kevin's development has been so smooth.

Three days after the party, Kevin took advantage of this rare opportunity to get in touch with Nicholas Kevin and Robert Downey Jr.

........

Three days later, Kevin readily attended the appointment and came to the party hosted by Cruise.

As for Julie, it was because of her menstrual period that she was unwilling to go out at this time, so she nestled in the villa to rest.

Because of the expansion of the scale, the party was not held at Cruise's home, but in the Hollywood Hotel.

Kevin walked into the hotel generously.

Thanks to Kevin's current hot status in Hollywood, as soon as he entered it, many film company bosses or executives came over, made friends with Kevin, and handed him his own business card.

Looking forward to the opportunity for Kevin to work with them.

Facing the enthusiasm of these people, Kevin dealt with it one by one. This enthusiasm lasted for more than ten minutes, until Cruise came here, and the crowd dispersed.

Seeing Kevin's helpless look, Cruise said with a smile:
