Chapter 431: Fired Squid

Whether it is soft science fiction or hard science fiction, it is recognized that it is not popular at the Oscars.

Tom Cruise also understood this and said, "I never thought I could win the best actor with this movie. I just wanted to get a nomination to add some qualifications to the future."

"Yes, it's too difficult to win a science fiction film." Ronan said the truth: "Even if the director is Spielberg, it's not easy to use."

Tom Cruise said with a smile: "That's why I found a way to canvass votes, and the agent is working hard."

When he heard the agent, Ronan suddenly thought of the list of potential seed contestants in the awards season that he had watched before. There was a movie called "Time and Time", and the heroine was Nicole Kidman.

Ronan asked, "Tom, ask something." With his friendship with Tom Cruise, there was nothing wrong with asking: "Are you the same agent with Nicole?"

There is nothing wrong with Ronan. Tom Cruise said directly: "Yes, Pat Kinsley is my agent and Nicole. She has been working together since the mid-1990s."

Pat Kinsley and Tom Cruise have been working with for many years, and Ronan will not be so stupid that he will say it directly, and indirectly: "Did Pat Kinsley get closer to Nicole Kidman?"

Tom Cruise glanced at Ronan and said, "They are all women."

This statement is equivalent to a disguised recognition of Ronan's statement.

Ronan said: "As far as I know, Nicole is also preparing to be the best actress. An agent helps two clients to compete for the Olympics at the same time. There are always things that cannot be taken care of. Tom, if you want to get the nomination, I think the main job is to be done by you and the production company."

Tom Cruise only treats this as an indifferent person, but Tom Cruise still attaches great importance to it when he says it from Ronan.

After dating with Ronan for several years, he always felt that Ronan's vision and overall view were particularly outstanding.

Tom Cruise thought about it again. Since the divorce, Nicole Kidman's acting career seemed to have entered the fast lane, with Pat Kingsley playing a crucial role.

It is said that Nicole Kidman hugged Harvey Weinstein's thick legs, which was also a match made by Pat Kinsily.

Recently, the media has been hyping up news about why he is sorry for Nicole Kidman. Nicole Kidman leaving Tom Cruise is like a bird leaving a cage.

Will there be any push from Pat Kinsley and Harvey Weinstein?

Thinking of Nicole Kidman working with Harvey Weinstein, who also helped her win the Oscar for Best Actress, Tom Cruise unconsciously touched her head.

Even my ex-wife is a little uncomfortable.

After all, it is different from finding a boyfriend with your ex-wife.

After Ronan reminded Tom Cruise, he felt thoughtful when he saw him. He knew that it had attracted attention and did not say more. He simply changed the topic: "Last time I heard Will mention something, he said you are going to restart the Mission: Impossible series?"

Tom Cruise smiled and said, "It's just that there's a plan, and it's not until I've worked with Spielberg on World War."

Ronan asked: "Continue to work with Paramount Pictures?"

"Yeah, I signed a long-term contract with Paramount Pictures," said Tom Cruise. "Paramount Pictures is the only publisher of the Mission: Impossible series."

He turned around and asked, "By the way, what advice do you have for the sequel?"

Ronan said directly: "Use computer special effects less, use more real shots, and then find a suitable director." He couldn't help laughing: "Tom, as long as you play Ethan Hante, the success of the film is definitely not a problem."

It has been more than 20 years since the first to the sixth part, "Mission: Impossible", a world-famous super IP, and has been able to grasp the ever-changing film market structure and public aesthetic taste. Although it is still controversial whether the sequel can surpass the previous work to reach the peak of the series, from the perspective of maintaining the classic reputation, except for the second part with a poor reputation, every other film has a very good reputation.

Compared with those remakes and unfinished series of movies, the Mission: Impossible series can be regarded as a conscience production.

Adapted into a movie from purchasing the copyright of an ordinary agent TV series, a CD containing a spy list opened the curtain of a movie and also opened the glorious era of Ethan Hant.

More than 20 years later, Hollywood agent movies have emerged one after another, but the Mission: Impossible series has already reached its peak.

The reason is that the series brings its "core competitiveness" Tom Cruise to its extreme.

In fact, in terms of visual effects and technological content, "Mission Impossible" is not as good as the "007" series; in terms of plot choreography and psychological game, it is hard to match "Spy Shadows", but it has a Tombet who has made the movie well, and this is unavoidable.

After watching "Mission: Impossible 6", Ronan once lamented that the most amazing thing about this movie is that many plots make people think it is "stand-in + green screen + special effects", but in fact, Tom Cruise was filmed in real time.

In the film, the limping and gritting teeth, Ethan Hante is not completely "acting". To a certain extent, it is also the most real manifestation of humans with physical mortality after being injured.

Sometimes, returning to nature may not be a bad thing, especially when superheroes are flying all over the sky on the screen, a character who uses flesh and blood to explore the limits of action movies is particularly attractive.

The special effects of the movie CG have made rapid progress, and the audience's aesthetic tastes have also been tricked by dazzling blockbusters.

It just so happened that "Mission: Impossible" and Tom Cruise did the opposite, exploring the human limits of action movies with the actor's flesh and blood.

To put it more exaggeratedly, the measurement of the level of each "Mission Impossible" movie is almost determined by the height of Tomko's "bungee jumping", from the early secret room show, to the rock climbing show, the wire show, the building jumping show, to the airplane show and the skydiving show...

Although there are many old plots, they are accurate and effective.

"Originally, my favorite director was Paul Greengrass." Tom Cruise said at this time: "But he will film the "Spy Shadows" series for you in the past few years. I have considered it carefully recently. His characteristics are too distinct."

Ronan nodded: "This is Paul's advantage. But if it is placed on the same type of movie, it will become a disadvantage. "Mission: Impossible" cannot completely become the style of "Spy Shadows".

Tom Cruise fully agrees with Ronan's statement: "I'll look for other directors and look for it slowly." He changed the topic: "I heard that Netflix has obtained Internet licenses for some movies from DreamWorks. Can it be used to stimulate Spielberg, who doesn't like you, and the bid is not low?"

Ronan said: "The work is done by Netflix."

Tom Cruise asked: "The company you bought has developed well this year."

Ronan smiled and said, "It's OK."

"I know, your company is developing very well," Tom Cruise said: "All the movies launched this year are selling well and making a lot of profits."

Ronan was not humble, and said, "It's considered a gain."

Tom Cruise pointed at him and said, "If Relativity Entertainment only gains some benefits, wouldn't other small and medium-sized film companies all have to vomit blood?"

He looked at the time, stood up and said, "I have to go to the public relations company and agency to chat with you if I have time."

Ronan sent him out and reminded him: "You and Nicole both want to win the prize. The agent is too clone, so don't have too much expectations for her."

Tom Cruise replied: "I will make adjustments."

After leaving Relativity Entertainment, Tom Cruise got into the car and made several calls in succession, some called other agents in Caa, some called friends in the media industry, and some called related public relations companies.

He has worked hard in Hollywood for more than 20 years and has a huge network of personal connections.

After getting out of the agency and public relations company, I got replies from the phone calls. Although the answers given were a bit vague and not very clear, Tom Cruise was very clear, and Pat Kingsley was indeed biased.

The past is difficult to check for a short period of time, but the awards season is in progress and the Oscar public relations are in full swing. It is not particularly difficult to figure it out when dealing with the Oscar performance awards with him and his ex-wife.

I haven't noticed it before, but now I've noticed it and found that things are really like what Ronan reminded me.

Tom Cruise was a little grateful to Ronan and felt that Ronan must have noticed something, so he specifically mentioned the Oscar public relations matter.

When it comes to the overall view and people's perspective, it seems that I am really inferior to Ronan.

It’s impossible to be unwilling to accept the disadvantage.

When Tom Cruise took the bus back to Beverly Hills, he called Ronan and invited him to have a drink at his place tonight. Unexpectedly, Ronan refused!

As for the reason, I didn't hide it. That guy Ronan got a little singer and wanted to have fun with the female singer tonight.

Tom Cruise's little gratitude disappeared instantly, this guy emphasized sex over friends!

After returning home and having supper, Tom Cruise thought seriously, especially about the agent.

This is not only related to the Oscars' winning streak, but also to the subsequent cooperation.

Since Pat Kinsley's position is biased towards Nicole Kidman, it is time to end the cooperation with her. Although the economic contract is not yet out, it is just fired directly. At worst, you can pay a penalty for liquidated damages.

If you don’t leave the caa, you won’t even need a penalty for liquidated damages.

A celebrity actor like him is easy to change an agent. If you say hello to the agency, Caa will take the initiative to do it.

Tom Cruise thought about it for a while, even if Pat Kingsley was fired, it would not be the case now. It would take time for the agent to hand over the work and cooperate with him, which would have a huge negative impact on the already not going well Oscar promotional PR.

Then wait until the Oscar nomination is announced or the Oscar ceremony is over.
