Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Now that the Internet speed has not made great progress, Hollywood studios promote movies, mainly offline.

Mission Impossible is an adaptation of a classic American drama, and the main billboard is nostalgia.

As an American drama released in the 60s, his audience is in their forties at this time, which is the time to grasp the economic power.

The main audience of Mission Impossible is divided into two categories, one is agent adventure films, that is, fans of 007 type movies.

Another type of people they need to woo is naturally these emotional parties.

Various propaganda posters are made, and the actions of the characters on them are all respectful of the classics, and strive to evoke everyone's memories.

In this way, propaganda and production are juxtaposed, and time flies by.

Twentieth Century Fox.

Inside the President's Office.

As president, Jeffrey is discussing the finalization of Mission Impossible at other senior levels.

The movie market is so big, if you eat more, it means that you have to eat less on your side, especially during the special time of Christmas.

They also have a comedy film to be released on Christmas Day, but it is different from Mission Impossible's large investment of 80 million.

My Fair Fair Daddy cost only ten million dollars to make, so they're not particularly nervous and Mission Impossible.

However, in a competitive relationship, it is natural to give it a try to add chaos to Mission Impossible.

If it works, a casual loss is a huge amount of millions of dollars.

"Jeffrey, do you want to buy off the crew and make some means?"

A black high-ranking official suddenly proposed.

There have also been cases of buying off the crew, burning film, and destroying the film before.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, the black top instantly thought of this method.

The other high-ranking people cast strange glances at him, different eyes.

As if to say, black people are always black people.

In Hollywood, some means can be used, and some means are not.

Warner Bros. and MGM are not easy to mess with, and they are bound to provoke a violent counterattack by this method.

To put it bluntly, they can use this means, and others can use it.

It's really fun, everyone don't film.

"Jerry, we definitely can't do this kind of thing."

Jeffrey shook his head at the black man before continuing:

"Find some starring black material and hype it, this is all legitimate competition."

"As for those means, they can only be used by some small crews, but where it involves the investment of large Hollywood studios, it is impossible to use."

After the arrangement, Jeffrey discussed other things with everyone.

In the end, this big war, passive is Warner Bros. and MGM.

Their investment is only a mere $10 million, an order of magnitude difference from their eighty million.

Fox failed, just a small injury.

And Warner they failed, the loss is much greater.

....

Of course, Fox is not the only film company that is acting.

Mission Impossible, as an absolute big production in the Christmas file, has successfully obtained the largest number of opening screens from theaters.

Of course, this squeezed the plans of many other studios in the Christmas slot, and there are not too many people like Fox with the idea of creating a little trouble for Mission Impossible.

...........

At MGM Pictures, Kevin was discussing the film's production style with MGM's production manager.

"Crisp, neat action scenes, special scenes beyond people's imagination, chase scenes on the train, what's wrong with these?"

MGM's production manager made a straight face and said seriously:

"It seems that there is no problem, but he is obviously different from the 007 series, and I suggest you edit it towards the 007 mode."

"We have the template for the most successful secret agent film, why risk it?"

Looking at this stodgy middle-aged man, Kevin suddenly lost the mind to communicate with him.

Although 007 and Mission Impossible are indeed very similar, in Kevin's hands, Mission Impossible shows more of its own characteristics.

Such as action scenes, such as villain settings, such as those special scenes.

If they are all abandoned, the whole remake of 007 loses its own characteristics, and there is no 007 fame, what will happen to the box office, no one knows.

Kevin said directly and toughly:

"My style is like this, if you have an opinion, ask your president to mention it, but the style must be according to what I say, if the box office is not good, I will bear the responsibility alone."

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then nodded.

For middle-aged people, stability is paramount, and since the director is willing to take all the responsibility, there is nothing more to say about him, the production manager who oversees the editing.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kevin is not the kind of small director who has never become famous.

But a small famous director with two movies selling well, he has this responsible capital, and the average small director is not even qualified to say this sentence in front of him.

After resolving the controversy over the style of the film, Kevin continued to match the first cut with special effects shots, while making better transitions to some shots.

In this way, the time came to November 20th, and Thanksgiving was only about ten days away.

Although the schedule and the number of paintings have been determined, in fact, the film has not really been completed until this time.

As soon as the news of the completion of the film was received, Warner Bros. immediately sent a number of viewing managers, that is, viewers, to MGM to participate in this internal preview meeting.

As the president, LTECH also sat nervously in the viewing seat, surrounded by President Warner and Kevin.

Several people were a little nervous.

The huge investment of 30 million US dollars is definitely not a joke, this is the price of dozens of lives, and if there is a huge loss, no one can afford it.

For Kevin, if Mission Impossible fails, MGM's shares will not be mentioned for the time being, but the opportunity to get Marvel will be missed, and he will hardly have the possibility of reaching the top in Hollywood.

For Retter, failure means that he will be abandoned by MGM and become a loser.

And losers, it is almost impossible to achieve this status again.

As for Warner President Robinoff, although he is not as desperate as them, this investment failure has an impact on his status at Warner.

With their own ideas, the three watched the final version of Mission Impossible formed by Kevin after four months of filming and two months of special effects production.
