章節 54: Mission Impossible Completed
Now that the Internet speed has not made great progress, Hollywood film companies mainly promote movies offline.
As an adaptation of a classic American drama, Mission Impossible, the main propaganda card is nostalgia.
As an American drama released in the 1960s, his audiences are all in their 40s at this time, and it is the time when they have mastered economic power.
The main audience of Mission Impossible is divided into two categories, one is the special agent adventure film, that is, the fans of 007 type movies.
The other type they need to win over is naturally these sentimental parties.
Various propaganda posters have been produced, and the actions of the characters on them pay tribute to the classics one by one, and strive to evoke everyone's memories.
In this way, publicity and production are juxtaposed, and time flies by quickly.
-------------------------------------
Twentieth Century Fox.
Inside the President's Office.
Jeffrey, as the president, is discussing the finalization of Mission Impossible with other executives.
The movie market is so big, if you eat more, it means you need to eat less, especially during the special time of Christmas.
Their company also has a comedy film to be released on Christmas Day, but it is different from the 80 million investment of Mission Impossible.
Nanny Daddy cost only $10 million to make, so they weren't particularly nervous about going head-to-head with Mission Impossible.
However, in a competitive relationship, it can add chaos to Mission Impossible, so naturally, it is necessary to give it a try.
In case it is useful, any loss is a huge sum of millions of dollars.
"Jeffrey, do you want to bribe the cast and make some tricks?"
A black executive suddenly proposed.
There have also been cases of bribing the crew, burning film, and destroying the movie before.
Therefore, in the face of this situation, the black executives immediately thought of this solution.
Other high-level executives cast different eyes on him, different eyes.
As if to say that black people are always black.
In Hollywood, some methods can be used, and some methods can't be used.
Warner Bros. and MGM are not easy to provoke. They will inevitably provoke violent counterattacks by using this method.
To put it bluntly, they can use this method, and others can also use it.
It's so fun, everyone should stop filming.
"Jerry, we definitely can't do this kind of thing."
Jeffrey shook his head at the black man, and then continued:
"Find some black material for the starring role, and hype it up. This is all legitimate competition."
"As for those means, it can only be used by some small crews, but it is impossible to use it when it involves the investment of major Hollywood studios."
After the arrangement was completed, Jeffrey discussed other things with everyone.
After all, in this battle, it is Warner Bros. and MGM who are passive.
Their investment is only a mere 10 million US dollars, which is several orders of magnitude away from their 80 million.
Fox's failure is only a small injury.
While Warners and the others failed, the loss was much greater.
....
Of course, it's not just the Fox film company that is in action.
Mission: Impossible, as an absolute big production in the Christmas stalls, has successfully obtained the largest number of opening screens from the theater.
This of course squeezes the plans of many other studios in the Christmas schedule. Like Fox, people with the idea of causing some trouble for Mission: Impossible, but not too many.
......
MGM Studios, Kevin is discussing the production style of the film with the MGM production manager.
"Crisp, neat action scenes, special scenes beyond people's imagination, chase scenes on trains, what's the problem?"
MGM's production manager sternly said:
"It looks fine, but he's clearly different from the 007 series, and I suggest you edit towards the 007 model."
"We have the template for the most successful spy films, so why take the risk?"
Looking at this old-fashioned middle-aged man, Kevin suddenly lost his mind to communicate with him.
Although 007 and Mission Impossible are indeed very similar, but in the hands of Kevin, Mission Impossible has shown 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 copy of 007 will lose its own characteristics, but without the fame of 007, no one knows what will happen to the box office.
Kevin said directly and firmly:
"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 said. If the box office is not good, I will bear the responsibility alone."
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, then nodded.
For middle-aged people, stability is the most important thing. Since the director is willing to take all the responsibilities, he, the production manager who oversees the editing, has nothing to say.
The bottom line, of course, is that Kevin isn't the kind of little director who hasn't made his mark.
It is a well-known director with two big movies. He has the capital to be responsible, and ordinary young directors are not even qualified to say this in front of him.
After resolving the controversy over the style of the film, Kevin continued to pair the first cut with special effects shots, while making better transitions for some shots.
In such a step, the time came to November 20th, only ten days before Thanksgiving.
Although the schedule and the number of opening paintings have been determined, in fact, the film is not really completed until this time.
Upon receiving the news of the completion of the film, Warner Bros. immediately sent a number of film managers, that is, film crews, to MGM to participate in this internal preview.
As the president, Leiter was also very nervous sitting in the viewing seat, next to him were the president of 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 human lives. If there is a huge loss, no one can bear it.
For Kevin, if Mission Impossible fails, MGM's shares will not be mentioned for the time being, but the chance to get Marvel will be missed, and he has almost no chance of reaching the top in Hollywood.
For Reiter, failure means that he will be abandoned by MGM and become a loser.
For losers, it is almost impossible to get this status again.
As for Warner President Robinoff, although they are not as desperate as they are, the failure of this investment has some impact on his status in Warner.
With their own ideas, the three watched the finalized version of Mission Impossible formed by Kevin after four months of filming and two months of special effects production.
