Tom Cruise

To put it bluntly, in an agent action movie, all the heroine needs is beauty.

This is a typical man play.

The last large-scale casting left is naturally the male protagonist.

Although Kevin had already pre-booked in his heart, the actor of Mission Impossible must be Tom Cruise.

After all, in the past life, the success of Mission Impossible was caused by him.

But the time was advanced by more than two years, and Kevin couldn't say whether Tom Cruise meant this at this time.

Coupled with the initiative to come to the door, often others will not cherish.

To this end, Kevin chose to conduct a large-scale casting.

At the same time, this is also an invisible propaganda for Mission Impossible.

With the large-scale casting, countless media began to report the news of Mission Impossible.

....

"The adaptation of a classic American drama, directed by horror film director Steve Kevin, has evoked the childhood experience of countless audiences. If Mission Impossible was adapted into a movie, would you...will you watch it?"

"According to this newspaper, there are many people who are interested in Mission Impossible. Nicholas Kevin, Sylvester Stallone and other superstars have expressed strong interest in the movie."

"..."

Tom Cruise looked at the news in the newspaper and remained silent.

The failure of Dadi's ambition was a huge blow to him. Before that, one of the movies he played was a big hit, and he had never tasted the taste of failure.

Since the failure of Dadi's ambition, the touts about him in the newspapers have turned into questioning and belittling.

This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on his mind.

But good soup is always good soup.

A person who can become a superstar does not have a big heart.

Just as he was quietly recuperating in his villa, the latest reports from the outside world came in.

Steve Kevin's new work, an $80 million action movie.

The most important thing is that it is still his childhood memories, Mission Impossible.

Tom Cruise has an unforgettable emotion for Mission: Impossible, which is his fondest childhood memory, and when he heard about the project, he simply couldn't turn it down.

Seeing the news in the newspaper, Cruise looked at Nicole Kidman beside him and said:

"Dear, come with me to Kevin's villa and discuss about the hero of Mission Impossible."

Nicole Kidman listened to Cruise and said anxiously:

"Darling, what about my heroine?"

Cruise showed his cold side and said:

"Honey, if successive films fail, even me, in Hollywood, will perish."

"Everything allows me to continue to be successful, okay?"

The meaning of Cruise's words is very simple. He has to protect himself and his position before he can pull Nicole Kidman.

Although the truth is this truth, but women are sometimes unreasonable.

A trace of resentment flashed in Nicole Kidman's eyes, and then she instantly subsided, turning into a smile, holding Cruise's hand and smiling:

"Then let's go meet Kevin together."

...

Tom Cruise and Kevin's villa were only a few minutes' drive apart. A few minutes later, Tom Cruise drove his luxury car and came to Kevin's home with Nicole Kidman.

"Cruise!"

"Kevin!"

Seeing Cruise's arrival, Kevin politely went out to greet him.

Julie was also at his side.

Kevin and Cruise communicate.

Julie was also looking at each other with Nicole Kidman.

Both sides belong to men who have climbed up the status and power, so they naturally compete. In terms of the most direct beauty, Julie looked at Nicole Kidman, which was somewhat unnatural.

She knew that she was not as beautiful as Nicole Kidman.

However, aesthetics is sometimes not so absolute. At least Julie has self-confidence. Kevin definitely likes her more between Nicole Kidman and her.

...

"Cruise, do you want the hero of Mission Impossible?"

Kevin pretended to be surprised.

After some chats, Cruise also went straight to the topic and asked him for the position of the male protagonist.

Cruise looked serious and said seriously:

"Yeah, Kevin, you don't know how much I love Mission: Impossible, it's my favorite TV show since childhood."

"If you hadn't come up with the idea of ​​​​making a Mission: Impossible movie in advance, maybe in a year or two, I would have put forward this idea too, with myself as the producer."

"Let me be the hero, Kevin, I owe you a favor."

Having said this, Kevin, who was originally interested in Cruise, naturally had nothing to say.

"In that case, Cruise, you can go directly to the interview for the hero of Mission Impossible."

Cruise took a deep breath.

In Hollywood, there is an unfamiliar rule, a movie with a big investment, if there is no big name candidate for the interview meeting.

This shows that the film will only be selected from among the young actors.

Once a big name participates, other superstars will only work hard behind their backs and will not participate in the interview of the crew at the same time.

This also means that he will go through the next process, and basically this role will be guaranteed.

...

Everything was as expected by Tom Cruise, the process was over, and Tom Cruise joined the Mission Impossible crew for $10 million.

The news, along with the joint proliferation of the three studios, quickly spread throughout the United States.

Before the movie even started, it had already caught the attention of all Americans.

That's the prerogative of blockbusters.

The so-called blockbuster is a big investment, a big star, and a big director.

Countless media flocked to the event, and under the joint consultation of Warner Bros., MGM, and Paramount, it was decided to hold a press conference for the opening of the event.

Immediately after the meeting, filming began.

....

Los Angeles, in a theater, was chosen to hold this press conference.

Kevin brought the hero and heroine, Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie, as well as several other important supporting roles to the press conference.

The president of MGM, in person, added a different meaning to this press conference.

"President LTECH, is there any hidden secret behind your choice to let a small director like Steve Kevin direct a blockbuster with an investment of 80 million yuan?"

"MGM has been losing money for many years. Does President LTECH want to hope that Mission Impossible will turn the situation around?"

Leiter's face froze. The reporters' questions did not take his face into consideration at all.

But he couldn't be angry because of that, it didn't fit his identity.

After adjusting his emotions, Leiter replied one by one with a smile:

"The reason why Director Kevin directed Mission: Impossible is because I believe in Director Kevin's strength. Two consecutive films have sold well. Can't it explain his strength?"
