The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 433 Brother Cruise Sees Too

Not only Los Angeles is showing "Taken 2", but on the European continent on the other side of Oceania, countries are also showing "Taken 2".

The Medici Cinema, located in the center of Rome, is the largest cinema in Italy, with a total of [-] cinema halls.

At this time, in Cinema No. [-], on the left side of the aisle, sat two middle-aged men wearing masks.

They are Cruise and Warren Iger.

Brother Tom is really handsome, even if he is wearing a mask, even if he is on the fifth day, he is still handsome.

Warren originally had an ordinary appearance, but when he sat in front of Tom Cruise, he suddenly became much uglier.

At this time, "Taken 2" is playing on the big screen.

Both Cruise and Warren stared at the big screen.

However, compared to the focused Cruise, Warren turned his head to look at Cruise from time to time.

Warren came to Italy on a business trip this time, and happened to know that Tom Cruise was here, and originally wanted to chat with him. Tom Cruise said to go to the movies, so the two went to watch movies together.

In recent years, Tom Cruise and Beckham have a very good relationship. Many people think that Cruise is male/gay.

Warren, sitting next to Tom Cruise, always felt uncomfortable.

He is naturally far inferior to Xiaobei, but he is still a little worried about Chrysanthemum.

This prevents him from concentrating on watching movies.

He only knew that it was a good movie and had a very good reputation in the beautiful country, but he didn't know what was so good about the movie.

"Man, let's go."

After a long time, the movie ended, Cruise and Warren returned to the hotel together, the two came to the coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee each.

Cruise picked up his coffee, took a sip, and then said, "It's a very good movie, Li is amazing."

Brother Cruise is known as the desperate Saburo of the beautiful country, and his level of fighting is no less than that of Cheng Long.

But for Cheng Long, he has already praised it many times.

Li Shengyao's directing ability made him pay special attention.

Unlike other super giants, cruise is the producer of most of the movies.

That is to say, the top six in Hollywood are responsible for paying the money. As for finding actors and directors, including editing, dubbing and soundtrack and other post-production, Cruise is in charge of it himself.

Both "Mission: Impossible 2" and "Mission: Impossible 3" are directors that Cruise found himself.

He now pays special attention to the ability of directors.

Warren nodded, "Yes, his previous "The Hangover" was very good. Action movies and comedy movies can be done so well, which is very rare."

Cruise smiled, "What do you think of "Taken 2"?"

Warren was embarrassed when he heard this. He was worried about chrysanthemums and didn't watch the movie seriously.

Fortunately Tom Cruise didn't notice this, and Tom Cruise went on to say: "Taken 2 is even better than the first one, and Lee's director level is even better."

Warren echoed: "Yeah, he's got a lot going on."

Cruise nodded, "Compared to the first part, the plot of "Taken 2" is fuller. It's not just a one-man show for the male protagonist, but his daughter is also very important. In this case, the characters are more three-dimensional and the plot is more complex." Richer, more intense."

Cruise is one of the well-known producers in Hollywood, so he is naturally very professional in watching movies.

"And compared to the first part, the second part has some more cool plots. When the male lead was imprisoned, he relied on listening to his voice to argue for his daughter to find him. This scene is absolutely wonderful, and it is rare in Hollywood in recent years. , an eye-catching design.”

Warren couldn't help nodding when he heard that.

When he was in the movie theater, although he was not very serious, he still knew the general plot, and that scene was really exciting.

"With such a foreshadowing, the decisive moment of the male protagonist at the end is very cool."

"And in the final action scene of the second part, compared with the first part, the enemy's counterattack is more fierce, there are more gunfight scenes, and there are more uncertain factors. The audience can follow the hero to feel the sense of oppression."

Cruise held up his coffee and took another sip.

"Lee is indeed making progress. "Taken 2" is a very good commercial film, and it may have a global box office of [-] to [-] million dollars."

"Four hundred million? Is it too much?"

It's not that Lee Seung Yew's movies can't reach 4 million, just like "The Hangover" is more than [-] million.

However, in this schedule, it is still a movie with an investment cost of 5000 million US dollars, [-] million is really a bit much.

Just like "Bourne Shadow 07" released in 3, the global box office was only [-] million, less than [-] million.

You must know that "Bourne Shadow 3" has a lot of scenes, and the investment is 2000 million US dollars.

Tom cruise heard the words and smiled, "Maybe, anyway, in my mind, this movie is very good, and it can get [-] million US dollars."

He paused, and then asked, "How is Li's personality?"

After the failure of "Mission Impossible 3", Ramon Pai publicly stated that he would no longer cooperate with Cruise.

However, after seeing the fire of "The Bourne Shadow 3" and "007 Quantum of Solace", the Ramon faction quickly loosened up.

Just a month ago, they arranged for someone to find Cruise, hoping to restart the "Mission: Impossible" series of movies.

Cruise is still the producer, and he will find the director.

He is now excited and wants to find a director who is talented enough to shoot "Mission: Impossible 4".

The "Mission: Impossible" series of films have already been filmed three times, and the styles of the three films are completely different.

The highest box office is "Mission Impossible 2", which has a global box office of [-] million US dollars. However, this movie is like a handsome MV. It has a poor reputation and has been complained by many fans and critics.

And in Hollywood, word of mouth is very important.

Although the box office was the highest, Tom Cruise did not hesitate to change Wu Yusen.

Just watched "Taken 2", Tom Cruise felt that Li Shengyao was quite talented, and he was a little moved.

Hearing that, Warren was speechless. He wanted to cooperate with Cruise, but he wanted to find Li Shengyao.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth, "He is a very confident person, very focused, serious, and has strict requirements on the quality of movies."

Tom cruise nodded, "I appreciate strict people, their fault-finding attitude can make more perfect movies."

Warren shook his head. "You're right, man, but I don't think you're a good fit."

"why?"

"He is a control freak. He will not allow other people to direct him to make movies, and he will not allow other people to edit. When "The Hangover", the editors completely listened to his arrangements, and they didn't even know that the effect of their own editing was good. Bad, in filmmaking, other people are totally his marionettes."

Brother Cruise heard the words, and there was disappointment in his eyes.

He's also a control freak, and he likes to be in complete control of his movies.

After the turn of the millennium, he seldom collaborated with major directors because both parties insisted and were unwilling to compromise.

He didn't expect Li Shengyao, a Chinese director, to have such a personality.

"You're right, unfortunately, he's a talented man."
