Tom Cruise comes to the door and chooses the male protagonist

CAA Building.

In Michael Ovitz's office, Michael Ovitz and Dawson are discussing something.

"Dawson, next, you have to persuade Kevin to accept our most thorough packaging service, otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to be promoted to the top partner of CAA."

Michael Ovitz said solemnly in a slightly threatening tone.

Seeing that Kevin's two movies have exploded one after another, CAA also wants to make more benefits from him.

The package service Kevin received at this time was not complete, so CAA only got the decision-making rights of the people behind the scenes, some supporting roles and small actors.

In order to seek more interests belonging to CAA, Michael Ovitz is persuading Dawson to let him find a way to make Kevin completely accept his packaging services.

That is to say, except for Kevin himself, CAA is responsible for everything else, and the director can just be a tool person.

"It's impossible for Kevin to accept."

Dawson said calmly.

"Doing this will only damage our relationship with Kevin."

Ovitz said coldly:

"This is your problem. If you can't do it, let Kevin out and let others take care of it."

"I'll give you a month, if you can't do it, Kevin will be taken care of by someone else."

"Come on, work hard, you can do it."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Dawson's eyes, and he left the office silently.

After all, CAAs are still too focused on their own interests, rather than customer experience.

For superstars and directors who have no shortage of opportunities, CAA is more like a vampire, and the most terrifying thing is that CAA himself does not realize this.

On the contrary, I feel that my packaging service is so good that everyone can accept it.

But in fact, this packaging system has the greatest impact on the director.

Celebrities are just one part of it. All that needs to be considered is the movie itself. The director and other actors are not something that stars can decide.

But the director is different, different people bring different shooting techniques and other things.

The director is the last person who will not accept a thorough package service, which Dawson is very clear about.

Disappointed, Dawson walked out of the CAA building.

Then I happened to meet Kevin who was coming to CAA.

"Dawson, what's wrong?"

Kevin looked at Dawson's expression and asked directly.

He had never seen Dawson's face before, and it seemed that something unpleasant must have happened.

Dawson took Kevin and walked for a few minutes, came to the park seat and sat down, and then said:

"Ovitz asked me to let you fully accept the packaging service, otherwise, I will be replaced by me who is in charge of your business."

Dawson's face revealed a sullen look, showing that his whole person was a little lacking in spirit.

Kevin was silent for a moment, and Ovitz's greed made him more or less silent.

But it seems unsurprising that capital wants to eat people.

Unlike China, the proportion of favors is different, the United States is more out of interests.

If the interests are violated, human feelings are not very useful.

His thinking is still somewhat influenced by his previous life.

It led him to think about problems with human affection.

Looking at the decadent Dawson, Kevin said directly:

"In that case, let's leave CAA together. My film company is still short of a president. You can do it."

"Kevin..."

Dawson was somewhat moved. If Kevin insisted, he would actually be replaced at most. For Kevin, he would not have any loss in CAA.

But Kevin is willing to support him, which makes him very happy.

In this case, there is nothing to hesitate, Dawson mustered his courage and said:

"Then I'll work with you, and I'll hand in the resignation letter later."

Kevin smiled, held Dawson's shoulder and said:

"Yes, by the way, help me to terminate the brokerage contract with CAA. Also, after leaving the company, help me find an assistant and a driver. The assistant should preferably be a woman, and the driver should be able to serve as a bodyguard.

"Give it to me, Kevin."

The two smiled at each other.

Kevin and CAA signed only the lowest-level contract before. Although the status has been improved later, the contract has not been changed.

Basically paying a few thousand dollars, you can cancel the brokerage contract.

....

Back in the villa, Kevin started writing again.

The selling point of Mission Impossible 1 is actually very clear, that is, action scenes.

Among them, there are three classic scenes, the famous scene of jumping the train, breaking the fish tank and lurking back to the intelligence bureau to steal documents.

Speaking of which, Kevin couldn't help but think of Jackie Chan.

The scene of jumping the train, it seems that Jackie Chan did not do much.

However, Jackie Chan at this time is still in Hong Kong Island, and has not yet been involved in Hollywood.

Of course, these are not important, the important thing is that Kevin wants to invite the legendary Yuan Ba ​​Ye to be in charge of guiding the action scenes of Mission Impossible.

When it comes to action scenes, one of the European and American blockbusters is more embarrassing than the other.

It just doesn't look pretty and it doesn't look real enough.

However, after The Matrix, Hollywood also understood how powerful Hua Guo's research on action dramas is. Since then, many Hollywood blockbusters have these behind-the-scenes figures.

However, the film companies that are more familiar with Hong Kong Island seem to be...

The new line seems to be more familiar.

Thinking of the future, the peak moment of the new line making Jackie Chan, Kevin guessed so.

In this case, there is nothing to say. After their negotiations with Paramount are in place, Kevin will go to contact the crew members one by one.

.....

Suddenly, half a month has passed.

After extremely complicated business negotiations, Paramount, MGM and Warner Bros. finally reached a concrete cooperation plan.

First of all, the total investment of Mission Impossible is 80 million US dollars, of which the investment amount is divided into four parts, which are invested by Kevin, MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros.

The specific investment ratio is 30% for MGM, 10% for Paramount, 30% for Warner Bros., and 30% for Kevin.

The copyright income of Mission Impossible is also distributed in the same way, but the subsequent Mission Impossible sequels are completely owned by Paramount and have nothing to do with others.

To put it simply, Paramount relies on the team headed by Kevin to turn Mission Impossible into a hot big IP.

They just want to pay the minimum price.

All in all, if the Mission: Impossible movie fails, Paramount won't have much to lose.

But if successful, the sequel to Mission: Impossible could be a surprising benefit for Paramount.

Faced with such terms, everyone agreed.

More importantly, this movie proves that Kevin is capable enough to direct a movie with a big investment. As for the follow-up sequel, if Kevin is capable, it is not difficult to find other IPs.

...

This news was conveyed to Kevin's ears by MGM.

Faced with this news, Kevin immediately began to form a director team.

Without the help of CAA, some things must be done by hand.

A classmate from the University of Southern California, Kevin's loyal team, once again chose to join his morning film company, abandoning the CAA contract.

Compared with CAA, there are more benefits that can be obtained by being with a famous director like Kevin.

Part of the team is in place, and Kevin still lacks an experienced assistant director. Kevin directly told the director's union about this.

Anyone interested in this can contact him directly through the director's union.

In the end, an experienced assistant director, Billet, was selected.

He has qualifications as an associate director for several films, which Kevin did not study carefully.

The assistant director is more responsible for checking and filling vacancies, and the film mainly depends on him, the main director.

At the same time, he also passed various trade unions for the other lacking personnel, and gathered all the staff one by one.

In addition to the action guide.

Kevin picked up the phone and called Dean.

On the other end of the phone, Dean was regretting not being able to participate in the investment in Kevin's new movie, when he saw Kevin's call and hurriedly took it.

"Hello, Kevin."

"Dean, I heard that you are very familiar with people from Hong Kong Island. Can you help me contact the action director named Yuan Heping. My new movie needs some excellent action directors."

Kevin got straight to the point.

"No problem, but Kevin, why don't you call our New Line Film Company for your new movie investment? It's not interesting!"

Dean half-joked.

"It's my first time directing a big investment, and I'm also doing it for your own good and helping you avoid risks. If there is a chance to cooperate in the next film, I will definitely cooperate with you."

Kevin said politely.

Having said that, Dean didn't have much to say. After hanging up the phone, he directly helped Kevin contact Hong Kong Island's action guide Yuan Heping and his Yuan Jiaban.

On Hong Kong Island in 1993, movies emerged one after another. In theory, Yuan Heping did not have time to come to the United States.

However, on Hong Kong Island, there are many excellent action guides, and he is irreplaceable in the United States.

But on Hong Kong Island, it's not a big problem to hire someone to replace him.

Therefore, Yuan Heping and his Yuan Jiaban finally took the U.S. to Los Angeles in the United States under the condition of New Line Film Company's promise to them.

So far, Kevin's production team has been completely completed, except for a small part of the special effects investment, the rest has been done.

....

At the same time, news about Kevin's Mission: Impossible movie has also spread in Hollywood circles.

An action movie with an investment of 80 million, I don't know how many people are jealous.

Countless people, through various connections, are trying to land a role in Kevin's new film.

After abandoning the CAA, these roles do not need to pass the CAA now.

Kevin's choice was to leave most of the supporting cast to the studio.

The heroine was appointed in advance by him as an investor and director, that is, Angelina Jolie.

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.
