After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood

Chapter 30:

Although Kevin had already pre-booked in his heart, the actor of Mission Impossible must be Tom Cruise.

After all, in the past life, the success of Mission Impossible was caused by him.

But the time was advanced by more than two years, and Kevin couldn’t say whether Tom Cruise meant this at this time.

Coupled with the initiative to come to the door, often others will not cherish.

To this end, Kevin chose to conduct a large-scale casting.

At the same time, this is also an invisible propaganda for Mission Impossible.

With the large-scale casting, countless media began to report the news of Mission Impossible.

….

“The adaptation of a classic American drama, directed by horror film director Steve Kevin, has evoked the childhood experience of countless audiences. If Mission Impossible was adapted into a movie, would you…will you watch it?”

“According to this newspaper, there are many people who are interested in Mission Impossible. Nicholas Kevin, Sylvester Stallone and other superstars have expressed strong interest in the film.”

“…”

Tom Cruise looked at the news in the newspaper and remained silent.

The failure of Dadi’s ambition was a huge blow to him. Before that, one of the movies he played was a big hit, and he had never tasted the taste of failure.

Since the failure of Dadi’s ambition, the touts about him in the newspapers have turned into questioning and belittling.

This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on his mind.

But good soup is always good soup.

A person who can become a superstar does not have a big heart.

Just as he was quietly recuperating in his villa, the latest reports from the outside world came in.

Steve Kevin’s new work, an $80 million action movie.

The most important thing is that it is still his childhood memories, Mission Impossible.

Tom Cruise has an unforgettable emotion for Mission: Impossible, which is his fondest childhood memory, and when he heard about the project, he simply couldn’t turn it down.

Seeing the news in the newspaper, Cruise looked at Nicole Kidman beside him and said:

“Dear, come with me to Kevin’s villa and discuss about the hero of Mission Impossible.”

Nicole Kidman listened to Cruise and said anxiously:

“Darling, what about my heroine?”

Cruise showed his cold side and said:

“Honey, if successive films fail, even me, in Hollywood, will perish.”

“Everything allows me to continue to be successful, okay?”

The meaning of Cruise’s words is very simple. He has to protect himself and his position before he can pull Nicole Kidman.

Although the truth is this truth, but women are sometimes unreasonable.

A trace of resentment flashed in Nicole Kidman’s eyes, and then she instantly subsided, turning into a smile, holding Cruise’s hand and smiling:

“Then let’s go meet Kevin together.”

…

Tom Cruise and Kevin’s villa were only a few minutes’ drive apart. A few minutes later, Tom Cruise drove his luxury car and came to Kevin’s home with Nicole Kidman.

“Cruise!”

“Kevin!”

Seeing Cruise’s arrival, Kevin politely went out to greet him.

Julie also followed closely by his side.

Kevin and Cruise communicate.

Julie was also looking at each other with Nicole Kidman.

Both sides belong to men who have climbed up the status and power, so they naturally compete. In terms of the most direct beauty, Julie looked at Nicole Kidman, which was somewhat unnatural.

She knew that she was not as beautiful as Nicole Kidman.

However, aesthetics is sometimes not so absolute. At least Julie has self-confidence. Kevin definitely likes her more between Nicole Kidman and her.

…

“Cruise, do you want the hero of Mission Impossible?”

Kevin pretended to be surprised.

After some chats, Cruise also went straight to the topic and asked him for the position of the male protagonist.

Cruise looked serious and said seriously:

“Yeah, Kevin, you don’t know how much I love Mission: Impossible, it’s my favorite TV show since childhood.”

“If you hadn’t come up with the idea of making a Mission: Impossible movie in advance, maybe in a year or two, I would have put forward this idea too, with myself as the producer.”

“Let me be the hero, Kevin, I owe you a favor.”

Having said this, Kevin, who was originally interested in Cruise, naturally had nothing to say.

“In that case, Cruise, you can go directly to the interview for the hero of Mission Impossible.”

Cruise took a deep breath.

In Hollywood, there is an unfamiliar rule, a movie with a big investment, if there is no big name candidate for the interview meeting.

This shows that the film will only be selected from among the young actors.

Once a big name participates, other superstars will only work hard behind their backs and will not participate in the interview of the crew at the same time.

This also means that he will go through the next process, and basically this role will be guaranteed.

……

Everything was as expected by Tom Cruise, the process was over, and Tom Cruise joined the Mission Impossible crew for $10 million.

The news, along with the joint proliferation of the three studios, quickly spread throughout the United States.

Before the movie even started, it had already caught the attention of all Americans.

That’s the prerogative of blockbusters.

The so-called blockbuster is a big investment, a big star, and a big director.

Countless media flocked to the event, and under the joint consultation of Warner Bros., MGM, and Paramount, it was decided to hold a press conference for the opening of the event.

Immediately after the meeting, filming began.

….

Los Angeles, in a theater, was chosen to hold this press conference.

Kevin brought the hero and heroine, Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie, as well as several other important supporting roles to the press conference.

The president of MGM, in person, added a different meaning to this press conference.

“President LTECH, is there any unknown secret behind your choice to let a small director like Steve Kevin direct a blockbuster with an investment of 80 million yuan?”

“MGM has been losing money for many years. Does President LTECH want to hope that Mission Impossible will turn the situation around?”

Leiter’s face froze. The reporters’ questions did not take his face into consideration at all.

But he couldn’t be angry because of that, it didn’t fit his identity.

After adjusting his emotions, Leiter replied one by one with a smile:

“The reason why Director Kevin directed Mission: Impossible is because I believe in Director Kevin’s strength. Two consecutive films have sold well. Can’t it explain his strength?”

Chapter 48

“Similarly, although MGM loses money every year, MGM has a very solid foundation. As long as a few films are successful, I believe MGM will soon be able to reverse the current situation.”

The reporter’s face froze, and Leiter pulled out the background of MGM to speak.

Just wait for him to get in trouble.

Even if the reporter offends the average star director.

But offending a movie giant like MGM has serious consequences.

Seeing this, he quickly turned the gun and attacked Kevin and Tom Cruise, as well as Angelina Jolie, the heroine.

“Director Kevin, I heard that every time you make a movie, there will be an unspoken heroine. Is this true?”

“…”

Kevin’s face also stiffened, which is why he doesn’t like to be interviewed in front of the stage. The ability of a director is useless to reporters.

They are most interested in the tidbits between the director and the star.

As soon as they came up, these reporters kept asking about Kevin’s lace news. Fortunately, there was no real hammer, and Kevin denied them one by one.

On the other hand, Tom Cruise has seen many scenes like this, and dealt with them one by one.

At the same time, he talked about Mission Impossible, which drew the attention of reporters to the movie.

…

A day later, when everything was settled, Kevin took the crew to Prague, which is known as the center of the European continent.

The success of Mission Impossible, in addition to the plot, also made great contributions to those wonderful scenery.

In this regard, Kevin will certainly not change.

…………

“Mission Impossible, it will only be a bad movie, a small director, a bunch of unknown people, what good movies can it bring?”

“…”

As soon as Kevin walked with the front foot of the crew, the media on the back foot criticized Kevin and the movie.

However, MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros. quickly suppressed this news through various forces.

This is the back to the big tree to enjoy the shade.

With the investment of three Hollywood giants, as long as Kevin ensures that there is no problem in the crew, he does not need to worry about other things at all.

External problems, the Big Three can be more anxious than him.

————————————-

Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic.

As a tourist city, in the face of a Hollywood blockbuster filming request, it readily agreed.

A big-selling Hollywood movie can attract many tourists and increase their income.

Under such a premise, the Czech Republic even sent the police to help them with road closures and filming.

With such cooperation, the filming of Mission Impossible began like this.

With Kevin’s current status, except for Tom Cruise who can challenge his authority, everyone else is very cooperative.

As a smart person, Tom Cruise never questioned the director in front of the crowd, which made Kevin film Mission Impossible without any difficulties.

..

“Director Yuan, I hope the action is more realistic, close to Bruce Lee’s style of fast, accurate, and ruthless. I think that is the action of a special agent.”

Kevin doesn’t care what the real agent is like, what he has to do is make the behavior of the agent in the movie match the audience’s imagination.

This is the theory that he heard from a friend of the author when he was a director in his previous life.

When writing a work, sometimes if the plot is based on the truth, it is different from what the readers imagined, and bad reviews and trolls roll in.

On the contrary, if you follow the reader’s inherent impression, you will get a lot of praise.

Movies say the same thing.

Agents should be fast, accurate, and ruthless. This is the image of an agent that people should have in their hearts.

Kevin has no intention of subverting this image, he just wants to make Mission Impossible’s fight scenes more brilliant.
