Planning Mission Impossible

What kind of behemoth will develop in the future, just thinking about Kevin gets excited.

.....

Four days later, Dadi Ambition was released.

As a film starring Tom Cruise, as soon as it was released, it seized part of the big screen in Escape from the Dead Town.

In particular, this is the first movie of his husband and wife team with Nicole Kidman, which has attracted the attention of countless people.

So far, as of 14 days, the box office of Escape from the Dead Town has reached more than 111.85 million total North American box office.

There will be a few more weeks to come, but the potential is exhausted.

It is expected that it will reach its limit by 20 to 30 million more at the box office.

As an investor, Kevin can benefit from more than 20 million US dollars in cash, and 30% of the copyright income will continue to flow into his pocket.

It can be said to be a huge profit.

Of course, it's long before the money reaches his pocket, and he needs to start his next project early.

He abandoned all external affairs and concentrated all his energy. Except for going to the library from time to time, he spent the rest of the time writing new plans in the villa.

After the Ghost Rider project was placed behind, Kevin finally thought of a new project, that is, Mission Impossible, where Tom Cruise really became a superstar.

Mission Impossible, as a classic American drama, was broadcast from 1966 to 1973, with a total of more than 170 episodes, which has a very sufficient basis for watching movies in the United States.

Such a huge IP, placed in front of Kevin, made Kevin inevitably move.

In this era, there has not yet been a wave of IP adaptation. People make the biggest use of IP, that is, comic adaptation or novel adaptation, but there are not many successful works.

It is far from the time of later generations, and the use of IP is so mature.

But what troubles Kevin is that Paramount is strong at this time, the overall valuation is estimated at 10 billion US dollars, and the company's cash flow is very abundant.

He wants to win the copyright of Mission: Impossible. It's too hard, too hard.

Unless you only get a part of the benefits, then there is a slight possibility.

However, to negotiate in his capacity, there is no possibility of success, only if MGM or Warner are dispatched, there is such a possibility.

Thinking of this, Kevin no longer hesitated, took out the business card of the president of MGM from his wallet, and dialed the number above.

....

MGM President Reiter, is handling MGM's business within the company.

Looking at the movie plans in his hand, Leiter couldn't help but raised his forehead.

There are too many novice directors, and the plans they make are often unclear, and at the same time they have a lot of wild ideas.

At first glance, LTECH knew that the probability of loss was more than 90%.

Thinking of this, Leiter couldn't help but look at his personal mobile phone.

After so many days, the director hadn't contacted him, which made him very disappointed.

Thinking of this, Leiter picked up another newspaper and read the news about escaping from the fatal town.

[Dark horse at the box office, an excellent thriller with a production cost of only 3 million, it won a box office score of 111 million in North America in 14 days, escape from the deadly town, a good movie worth watching. ]

Leiter couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy in his heart.

It's been a long time since MGM produced a movie with such a high profit margin.

If the copyrights of excellent works such as 007 and Tom and Jerry were not able to continuously provide them with income, I am afraid that MGM would have closed down long ago.

[Escape from the deadly town, is expected to win the top ten box office results of the year, an enviable box office dark horse, the story behind the scenes of director Steve Kevin...]

[・・]

With this enviable thought, Leiter became more determined to cooperate with Kevin.

"Dudududu!"

The private call rang, and Leiter instantly picked up the phone and answered the call, only to feel that he was too anxious.

He quickly adjusted his tone and pretended to be calm:

"Hello, I'm MGM President Ret Wincherstein, who are you?"

"I'm Steve Kevin. I'm calling to discuss new movie investment with you. I don't know if you have time tomorrow. I also made an appointment with the president of Warner Bros."

Kevin's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, and Leiter resisted his excitement and continued:

"No problem, I have time, where is it?"

"The Royal Family Restaurant near Hollywood, a high-end Chinese restaurant. I heard that it was opened by the descendants of the royal chef who cooked for the emperor of China."

"Okay, tomorrow at noon, I'll be there on time."

Hanging up the phone, Leiter beamed with joy.

Kevin made it clear that he was willing to work with them to get MGM the right to invest in his next film.

MGM, saved.

Of course, MGM must also be saved. If it is not saved, his president may step down next year.

....

After calling the president of MGM, Kevin called Jeff Robinoff again.

With Kevin's success in two consecutive films, he is now asking Jeff Robinoff to talk about the investment issue of the third film. Of course, Jeff Robinoff will not refuse.

Make an appointment and hang up.

Angelina Jolie leaned over immediately.

"Kevin, the heroine of Mission Impossible Part 2?"

"give it to you."

Kevin smiled.

Angelina Jolie suddenly became excited, winked, and said softly:

"Kevin, let's go to the bedroom and take a bath."

Facing such a straightforward request, Kevin decisively followed Julie's back into the bedroom.

The bedroom of the villa is also not small, like a small house, with a huge bathtub, enough to accommodate four or five people.

.....

The next day, Kevin, who had tossed with Julie for another night, slept well until ten o'clock to regain his strength, and then went out and took a taxi to the Royal Palace in Hollywood.

Sitting in the car, Kevin also thought that he should find an assistant and driver now.

The driver should also be able to serve as a bodyguard.

America, every day of the free gunfight, he is now more or less a rich man, and it would be bad if he didn't have a bodyguard killed or kidnapped one day.

This kind of thing will be handed over to CAA to solve.

After calling Dawson, I said my request.

Kevin quietly admired the scenery outside.

.....

An hour later, at more than 11 o'clock, Kevin came to the Royal Palace.

A Chinese woman in a cheongsam came over and said in fluent English:

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

Kevin hasn't used Chinese for a long time, and it is rare to see Chinese people, so he showed his Chinese and said:

"Yes, in the Tianzi Room on the third floor."

A dazed look flashed across the face of the Chinese, which made Kevin a little disappointed, after all, it was not that country.
