Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

The original plot of Mission Impossible is actually not complicated.

The CIA obtained intelligence that there was a traitor in their team of agents, who was ready to sell the list of CIA agents in Eastern Europe to foreign secret service organizations, and under the planning of agent leader Jim, the protagonist Ethan took a group of agents to their trading place.

Who knows, when they arrived, they were ambushed, and all the other agents except Ethan and his wife were destroyed.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of dollars appeared in Ethan's account for no reason, so Ethan became the biggest suspect of this traitor.

Subsequently, it was the process of Ethan bravely breaking into the Longtan Tiger's Den and clearing his whites with his extraordinary brains and skills.

Such a plot, no matter where it is placed, is not surprising.

But the director's ability lies here, they can make a simple story present a completely different style in the movie.

Through editing, the use of picture color, the director's personal aesthetics, thus forming a wonderful movie.

Of course, the audience group of Mission Impossible itself, and the fan base of the protagonist Tom Cruise, are very important.

This is an important part of attracting audiences into the cinema in the early stages of the film.

Otherwise, Kevin could have paid less to shoot Mission Impossible.

For example, change the name of the movie, don't want the audience of the big IP of Mission Impossible, such as don't want Tom Cruise, a big star, change a small star to star.

In this way, the investment can be reduced to 50 million or even less.

However, in this way, the probability of the movie failure will increase to more than eighty percent.

To put it bluntly, there are many factors that contribute to the success of the film.

The number of paintings, audience reputation, stars, IP, film quality, each of which will affect the audience's willingness to enter the cinema.

Kevin never felt that there were movies that could directly get good results without relying on operations.

Operations are a crucial part of a film's success.

...

In the screening hall, several people and the viewing manager were watching the movie intently.

The story is simple, but through Kevin's wonderful editing, the audience is completely substituted for the protagonist Ethan, worried about him.

At the same time, it is expected that Ethan will use his skills to clear his own name and find out the real traitors in the CIA.

Compared with previous spy war films, this Mission Impossible directed by Kevin is particularly real.

This truth does not mean that it is the same as the real intelligence agency, but that what it shows is very consistent with the image of the intelligence agency and agent that people imagine.

After all, the audience is ordinary people, they will not delve into what the real secret service is like, they just want to see the appearance of the agent in their own perception in the movie.

Once it does not conform to their cognition, it will naturally be a bad reputation and abuse.

The various skills shown by Ethan in the movie seem to be the appearance of a trained ace agent, and the various skills expressed make the viewing manager and several of them show shocked expressions.

Obviously, they have been thoroughly attracted and immersed in the story and world constructed by the film.

Kevin on the side looked at their reactions, and suddenly counted in his heart, Mission Impossible became a mission.

The certification of an excellent film actually has a lot to say.

But in Kevin's view, the most basic point is not to make a play, to immerse the audience in the movie world, attracted by the story, then the movie is half the success.

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

Apparently, he did.

Mission Impossible completely captured the audience's appeal, as evidenced by several presidents and viewing managers who were firmly glued to the Mission Impossible story on the screen.

...

More than an hour is fleeting.

MGM President Reiter was the first to come to his senses, and he congratulated Kevin the moment he got up.

"Director Kevin, you have successfully produced a wonderful commercial blockbuster again!"

This is undoubtedly a compliment to Kevin.

For all film companies, a director who specializes in shooting commercial films is the most popular with them.

This is the key person who can keep their company going.

Retter's eyes revealed a look of thirst for talent, and it was obvious that he couldn't wait to include Kevin under MGM.

Kevin's eyes also flashed a hint of ambition, and then converged instantly.

MGM wanted to take him, and he didn't want to take MGM into his pocket.

Robinoff listened to Warner Bros.'s viewing managers.

"Top commercial blockbusters, if you score, you can score S, I think this will be another spy war classic movie that is enough to be famous with the 007 series."

A stocky, middle-aged white male said with an affirmative tone.

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

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

S-class commercial blockbusters, and spy war films comparable to 007, these two comments came out.

Robinov immediately knew that Mission Impossible was about to explode.

This was followed by dissatisfaction with Warner's 30% investment share, and covetousness for the follow-up Mission Impossible.

Pity.

As soon as this comment came out, Robinoff knew that Paramount had no possibility of giving up the copyright of Mission Impossible.

Leaving Robinoff to his chagrin, Reiter also asked MGM's viewing manager's opinion.

"Comparable to the 007 series!"

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

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

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

After arranging the others, Reiter took Kevin and Robinoff to his president's office.

Immediately afterwards, Late handed each of them a newspaper.

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

What joined an unknown organization, what domestic violence, what scandal with Angelina Jolie, what rumors of drugs, almost half of the newspaper's covers.

Robinov saw these as well.

Kevin had already seen it when he was working on the film's post-production content.

But how to deal with it, he and Late chose to talk about it after watching the movie.

And now, after Mission Impossible proved itself, Warner and MGM naturally can't sit idly by and watch these newspapers wantonly distribute Tom Cruise's black material to affect the box office results of Mission Impossible.
