Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

The next day, the news of Mission Impossible box office explosion immediately appeared in the newspapers, as well as the praise of countless moviegoers.

But don't realize that these are free, and the follow-up publicity fee of 10 million, in addition to media publicity, also includes the role of sealing the mouth of film critics.

Otherwise, commercial blockbusters, bad reviews are absolutely indispensable.

If you don't feed them, they'll give Mission Impossible bad reviews on the print press.

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

However, Warner and MGM are fighting for the first week, and the first week of box office is the most profitable time, and whoever dares to pick a prick at this time will naturally usher in their blow.

As for the back, 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 a move, the theater side saw the popularity of Mission Impossible and couldn't sit still.

Commercial blockbusters are the films with the widest audience, and when they learned that Mission Impossible was a box office hit and the reputation was also good, the theaters decisively took measures to squeeze the number of screens of other poorly performing films, and uniformly added them to the number of Mission Impossible screens.

Under such circumstances, the box office was released the next day.

Mission Impossible's box office reached a new high, reaching a horror box office result of about 29 million, a figure that stunned everyone.

......

CAA Building.

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

A director who has created a series of blockbusters in movies is definitely an extremely valuable and precious resource in Hollywood.

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

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

"Hey, Cruise, congratulations on the movie hit."

"Thank you!"

Cruise was a little confused, this kind of thing, generally Ovitz would not specifically call him to congratulate him.

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

Ovitz suggested.

Cruise understood what he meant, although Kevin turned his face with CAA, this reversal was not irreparable.

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

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Hanging up, Cruise decisively called Kevin and invited him to the party he had hosted.

Similarly, in addition to Kevin and the heroine, the party included MGM, Warner, Paramount, and other stars in Hollywood.

The biggest role of this kind of party is to give them better opportunities to cooperate.

....

Received the next day's box office results, and also received an invitation to Cruise's party.

Kevin completely relaxed.

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

A director who never fails, and a director who has failed, have a very different reputation.

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

Kevin, who has been successful three times in a row, now has the ability to pull up a big production on his own, and with his fame, even if he does not cooperate with other film companies, he can also make a movie with a big investment on his own.

There are people out there who want to invest in his new film.

Of course, outside investment is not the same as Hollywood investment, and he knows this very well.

A big production, if there is no investment from Hollywood giants, I don't know how much more trouble will come out in the middle.

Paid personnel to burn film, rating restrictions, public opinion suppression, all kinds of troubles do not know how much more.

The reason why Kevin has not encountered these problems is because he knows how to share benefits.

In the first film, Chainsaw Horror was given a new line of interest, and Warner got a piece of the pie through overseas distribution.

The second film is simply a new line and Warner invested together.

The third film, needless to say, is an investment from the Big Three of Warner, Paramount and MGM.

In Hollywood, if you get the investment of these three companies and are still in trouble, it is undoubtedly a provocation to these giants.

The counterattack of the Big Three is something that no one can afford.

This is what makes Kevin's development so smooth.

After three days of the party, Kevin took advantage of this rare opportunity to make a good relationship with Nicholas Kevin and Robert Downey Jr.

........

Three days later, Kevin gladly went to the appointment and came to the party hosted by Cruise.

As for Julie, it is because of her physiological period, she is unwilling to go out at this time and rests in the villa.

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

Kevin walked into the hotel generously.

Thanks to Kevin's current hot position in Hollywood, as soon as he entered it, many movie company bosses or executives came over, got close to Kevin, and handed him his own business card.

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

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

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

"Get used to these early, Director Kevin."

"Along with your success on the path to directing, these people are only going to grow and try to participate in your new film investment."

To be honest, Kevin's next film, even Cruise himself wants to invest.

Or that sentence, whether a movie will be a bad movie, the actor is the most touching.

Shooting Kevin's films made him feel his progress and passion, and he had never been so fully committed to a movie.

From that point on, he knew that Kevin would not fail.

At the very least, Kevin won't fail until this passion for movies wears off.

However, his investment ideas were held down by his own investment manager.

Investing in movies is an extremely risky thing in Hollywood.

I don't know how many directors made movies with their own money and ended up going bankrupt.

Hollywood studios sometimes don't welcome them to invest, it's that they're afraid to invest.

This is why Kevin was able to easily get 30% of the investment share.

They are also afraid of the failure of the film and causing significant losses.

In the face of Cruise's words.

Kevin exhaled and adjusted his mood.

Only then did he know that he really had a huge fame in Hollywood.
