Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 152

In the evening, Roman returned home, still thinking about the director of “Mission Impossible 3”.

This series needs a stable and talented director.

Too frequent replacement has proved that this is not a good choice. Each director has injected his own shooting ideas into the “Mission Impossible” series, which makes the charm of each movie different.

This is a fatal problem for movies that rely on serialization.

“Fast and Furious”, “Transformers”, “X-Men” and so on have maintained their own highlights and styles.

Drag racing and growth, explosion and coolness, setting and scene control…

Then “Mission: Impossible” has to establish an overall style if it wants to be successful. Relying on Tom Cruise’s hard work is not enough, and Roman also knows that the serialization process of this film has not been detours.

Because the most difficult part of the sequel movie is to meet the audience’s expectations while taking into account its own temperament and spirit. It just so happens that the favorite of the “Mission Impossible” series is to change the style, from the aesthetic violence of the second to the compact design of the third. Followed by the four action scenes, let go of their hands and feet, and show them as much as they want. This is also the one with the most adequate budget given by Paramount Pictures. The director is also full of imaginative money and various hard-core shots.

But in the final analysis, it is not suitable for the “Mission Impossible” series. Just look at Tom Cruise’s execution ability. He values ​​the “Mission Impossible” series of movies that carry a large part of the ambition. As long as the film is shot and the word-of-mouth is not good after it is released, even if the box office is excellent, it will require a change of director.

The fourth “Mission Impossible: Ghost Recon” is like this. After the director Brad Bird was kicked out, he complained to the media, saying that the movie made enough money at the box office, but he still failed to get Tom Cruise. satisfaction.

So, Roman needs to solve the problem at this time.

A suitable director who is good at spying themes and not so popcorn oriented.

Roman opened the director’s materials sent by the major agencies and began to look carefully from it.

Not long after, a familiar name came into view-Christopher McCauley.

Speaking of him, maybe not many people know him, but his later films “The Detective Jack” and “Edge of Tomorrow” are the saviors of Tom Cruise’s transformation.

The information provided by the brokerage company is more detailed.

This guy is a screenwriter and won the 68th Oscar Award for Best Original Screenplay with “The Very Suspect”.

Like many well-known screenwriters, he also began a career transformation.

Although the first film “The Confused Kidnapping Incident” was not well-known, it also received a sufficient return in the box office market.

Once he was also the director of “Mission Impossible 5: Mysterious Nation” and “Mission Impossible 6: Total Disintegration”, and being able to shoot two consecutive films is enough to see his directing level.

You should know that this series also accomplished the feat of Lian Zhuang alone, and the rest of the series directors were all eliminated by Tom Cruise.

Brother Tom is not very true to this series.

After selecting a suitable candidate, Roman immediately contacted the brokerage company early the next morning and asked to discuss cooperation matters.

After the highly experienced director in the circle learned the news, he also cared about this opportunity and quickly confirmed the news to make an appointment to meet.

……

Tom Cruise looked at the man in suit and hesitated whether Roman’s choice was correct.

In fact, he is optimistic about j-j-Abrams to direct, and that list is also the result of a joint negotiation between him and Paramount. Which one of the above candidates looks more reliable than the one in front of him.

If Roman’s past achievements were not very convincing, he would not have listened to Roman’s words to meet the new director candidate.

“Tom Cruise, you can ask him about his thoughts on the shooting of “Mission Impossible 3″, and then think about the question of suitability.” Roman lowered his voice and said to Tom Cruise who was sitting next to him. For his doubts, Roman did not answer with a good explanation. I can’t tell Tom Cruise that you will appreciate him in the future and you have worked with him in the most movies. He couldn’t accept this answer even if he wanted to.

“Ahem.” Tom Cruise, who was reminded, asked: “Director Kritosf, what kind of “Mission Impossible 3″ do you want to make?”

After reading the script a long time ago, Klitosv was thinking about how to shoot, adjusted his thoughts, and immediately replied: “Classical sense.”

He took a few breaths, stabilized his emotions, and then continued: “Don’t pursue the stimulating effect of the scene too much, focus on telling a story, and create a classic film style. The plot should be promoted by narrative rather than by The visual effect promotes. The combination of classic and black temperament is what I want to express.”

Tom Cruise was silent, he was in a kind of thinking.

He remembered the temperament style of the film given by director Brian de Palma when he filmed the first “Mission: Impossible.”

That very personal temperament style. The reason why he regarded the “Mission Impossible” series as a treasure was not only because of the box office, but also because after the first film was released, the overwhelming praise of the audience made him unforgettable. For the first time, he tasted the film that fits the role. This kind of pleasure, the taste of which he has always wanted to find again, is why he keeps changing directors.

“Nowadays spy movies like to imitate the sharp editing style of “The Bourne”, what do you think of this?” Tom Cruise suddenly said.

Romain nodded slightly when he heard it. This trend is too obvious. Even the veteran special agent film “007” series has learned the editing advantages of “The Bourne Shadow”.

“This is not in conflict with the shooting of “Mission Impossible”, but you don’t have to pursue that kind of tight and aggressive feeling too much. I think this style can be learned in fighting scenes, and it can well cover up the actor’s unsmooth movements. , It can also create an extremely sharp visual impact. This is also the advantage of bringing a novel experience to the audience after the release of “The Bourne”.”

Klitosv is worthy of being a veteran in the industry, and his analysis of the advantages of the movie “The Bourne” is in place.

Tom Cruise also knows that the topic he asked is actually nothing special. It’s just that recently, audiences have been comparing the two series of films. The same kind of problem in media interviews embarrassed him and made him feel uncomfortable. I consciously want to see what the new director thinks.

The new director is very rational, which makes him more satisfied.
