Inside Viewing

The original plot of Mission Impossible is actually not complicated.

The CIA obtained intelligence and learned that there was a traitor in their agent team. The traitor was going to sell the list of agents arranged by the CIA in Eastern Europe to a foreign agent organization. Under the planning of the agent leader Jim, the protagonist Ethan brought a group of agents. to their trading location.

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

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.

Afterwards, it was the process of Ethan, relying on his extraordinary mind and skills, to bravely enter the Dragon Pool and Tiger's Den to cleanse himself.

This kind of plot, no matter where it is placed, is not surprising.

But the ability of directors lies here. They can make simple stories show a completely different style in the movie.

Through editing, the use of screen colors, and the director's personal aesthetics, a wonderful film is formed.

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

This is an important part of attracting audiences to the cinema in the early stage of the film.

Otherwise, Kevin could have paid a lower price to shoot Mission Impossible.

For example, change the name of the movie, do not want the audience of the big IP such as Mission Impossible, such as not the big star Tom Cruise, and change the role of a small star.

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

But in this way, the probability of film failure will increase to more than 80%.

To put it bluntly, the success of the film has many factors.

The number of openings, audience word of mouth, stars, IP, movie quality, each of which will affect the audience's willingness to enter the cinema.

Kevin has never felt that there are movies that can get good grades directly without relying on operations.

Operation is a vital part of the success of the film.

...

In the screening hall, several people and the film manager were watching the film attentively.

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

At the same time, I expect Ethan to use his skills to clean up his own whitewash and find out the real traitor in the CIA.

Compared with the previous spy films, this mission: Impossible, directed by Kevin, is extraordinarily 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 intelligence agencies and agents in people's imagination.

After all, audiences are ordinary people. They won't go into detail about what the real secret service agency looks like. They just want to see what the secret agent looks like in the movie.

Once it does not meet their cognition, it will naturally be bad word of mouth and abuse.

The various skills shown by Ethan in the movie looked like a trained ace agent, and the various skills expressed made the film manager and several of them show their expressions of astonishment.

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

Kevin, who was on the side, watched their reactions, and suddenly he knew that Mission Impossible had become.

The certification of an excellent film actually has many sayings.

But in Kevin's view, the most basic point is that there is no drama, and the audience can be immersed in the movie world and attracted by the story, then the movie is half successful.

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

Apparently, he did.

Mission: Impossible has thoroughly captured the audience's appeal, as can be attested by several presidents and film managers staring at the Mission: Impossible story on the screen.

...

More than an hour passed in a flash.

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

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

This is undoubtedly a compliment to Kevin.

For all film companies, a director who professionally shoots commercial films is the most popular among them.

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

In Leiter's eyes, there is a look of thirst for talent. Obviously, he can't wait to bring Kevin into MGM's banner.

There was also a flash of ambition in Kevin's eyes, and then he instantly subsided.

MGM wants to take him, why doesn't he want to take MGM into the bag.

Robinoff listened to the views of Warner Bros. viewing managers.

"Top commercial blockbusters can be rated S. I think this will be another classic spy war movie that is enough to go down in history with the 007 series."

A chunky middle-aged white male, said with a positive tone.

He is Warner Bros., the highest-ranking film manager.

After watching more than 20 years of movies and movies rated by him, the market response has not shown much fluctuation.

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

Robinoff knew immediately that Mission Impossible was going to explode.

What followed was dissatisfaction with Warner's only 30% investment share, and coveted the follow-up Mission Impossible.

pity.

As soon as this comment came out, Robinov knew that Paramount had no possibility to release the copyright of Mission Impossible.

Aside from Robinoff's annoyance, Reiter also asked MGM's viewing manager for his opinion.

"Enough to rival the 007 series!"

"Best spy movie I've ever seen!"

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

"..."

Through the unanimous opinions of these film managers, as well as his own personal experience, let Leiter know that his adventure has been successful.

After arranging other people, Leiter brought Kevin and Robinoff to his president's office.

Immediately afterwards, Leiter handed each of them a newspaper.

Kevin stared at the newspaper, and immediately saw the dark material about Tom Cruise on it.

What about joining an unknown organization, what domestic violence, what rumors about an affair with Angelina Jolie, what rumors about drug use, almost covered half of the cover of the newspaper.

Robinoff also saw this.

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

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

And now, after Mission: Impossible has proved itself, Warner and MGM naturally can't sit back and watch these newspapers wantonly disseminate Tom Cruise's black material to affect Mission: Impossible's box office results.
