Chapter 431： Fired

Regardless of whether it is soft science fiction or hard science fiction, it is recognized that it will not be seen at the Oscars.

Tom Cruise also understood this, and said: "I never thought that I could use this film to hit the best actor, just to get a nomination to increase qualifications in the future."

"Yes, it's too hard to win awards for science fiction films." Ronan told the truth: "Even if the director is Spielberg, it's not easy to use."

Tom Cruise said with a smile: "That's why I figured out a way to canvass votes. The agent is also working hard."

Hearing his agent, Ronan suddenly thought of the list of potential seed players in the awards season that he had seen before. There was a movie on it called "The Moment" and the heroine was Nicole Kidman.

Ronan asked: "Tom, ask something." Given his friendship with Tom Cruise, there is nothing wrong with asking: "You and Nicole are still the same agent?"

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

Pat Kinsley has been working with Tom Cruise for many years. Ronan wouldn’t be so stupid to say directly, banging on the side: “Did Pat Kinsley get closer to Nicole Kidman?”

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

This is tantamount to acknowledging Ronan's statement in disguise.

Ronan said: "As far as I know, Nicole is also preparing for the best actress. An agent helps two clients at the same time. There is always something that cannot be taken care of. Tom, I want to be nominated, I think The main work is still to be done by you and the production company."

When others say this, Tom Cruise will only be deceived, but from Ronan’s mouth, Tom Cruise still pays more attention.

Having been with Ronan for several years, he has always felt that Ronan's vision and overall outlook are particularly outstanding.

Tom Cruise then thinks about it, since the divorce, Nicole Kidman's actor career seems to have entered the fast lane, in which Pat Kingsley has played a vital role.

It is said that Nicole Kidman hugged Harvey Weinstein's thick legs, which was also a matchmaking bridge for Pat Kingsley.

Recently, the media has been hyping about how he apologizes to Nicole Kidman, that Nicole Kidman leaves Tom Cruise like a bird leaving a cage.

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

Thinking of Nicole Kidman working with Harvey Weinstein, who also helped her hit the best actress Oscar, Tom Cruise touched her head unconsciously.

Even the ex-wife is somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, this is different from the ex-wife finding a boyfriend again.

After Ronan reminded Tom Cruise, he was thoughtful when he saw him and knew that he was taken seriously. He didn't say more, and simply changed the subject: "Last time I heard Will mention a sentence, he said you are going to restart. "Mission Impossible" series?"

Tom Cruise smiled and said: "It's just that there is a plan, specifically after I and Spielberg collaborated on "World War"."

Ronan asked, "Continue to cooperate with Paramount Pictures?"

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

He turned to ask: "By the way, what advice do you have for the sequel?"

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

From the first to the sixth, "Mission Impossible", the world-famous super ip has spanned more than two decades, and has been able to grasp the ever-changing film market pattern and popular aesthetic taste. Although the sequel can be It is still controversial to surpass the previous work to be the pinnacle of the series, but from the perspective of maintaining the classic word of mouth, except for the second one, which has a poor reputation, every other word of mouth is quite good.

Compared to the remakes and unfinished series of movies, the "Mission Impossible" series can be regarded as a conscience production.

From the purchase of the copyright of an ordinary secret agent TV series into a movie, a disc containing a spy list opened the curtain of a movie and also opened the glorious era of Ethan Hunt.

More than two decades later, Hollywood spy movies have emerged one after another, but the "Mission Impossible" series has reached the top.

The reason is that this series has brought its "core competitiveness"-Tom Cruise to the 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 arrangement and psychological games, it is also difficult to expect "The Bourne Shadows" to be backed, but it has a life-threatening movie. Brother Tom, and this point can't help but move people.

Ronan once sighed after watching "Mission Impossible 6". The most amazing thing about this movie is that many of the plots would make people think of it as a "stand-in + green screen + special effects", but in reality it was Tom Cruise. Real shot.

In the film, the limping and gritted Ethan Hunter is not exactly "acting". To some extent, it is also the most realistic performance of a mortal human being injured.

Sometimes, returning to basics is not necessarily a bad thing, especially when superheroes on the screen are flying all over the sky, a character who explores the limits of action movies with flesh and blood is particularly attractive.

The special effects of movie g are advancing by leaps and bounds, and the audience's aesthetic tastes are also raised by dazzling blockbusters.

It just so happens that "Mission Impossible" and Tom Cruise did the opposite, using the flesh and blood of actors to explore the human limits of action movies.

To put it in an exaggeration, the level of measuring each "Mission Impossible" movie is almost determined by the height of Tom's bungee jumping, from the early days of the secret room show to the rock climbing show, the wire show, the jumping show, To the plane show and skydiving show...

Although the plot is old, it is accurate and effective.

"Originally, the director I liked most was Paul Greengrass." Tom Cruise said at this time: "But he has been filming the Bourne Shadows series for you in the past few years. I have also considered carefully recently. His The characteristics are too clear."

Ronan nodded: "This is Paul's strength. But if you put it on the same type of movie, it will become a weakness. "Mission: Impossible" can't completely become the style of "The Bourne Shadow".

Tom Cruise fully agreed with Ronan’s statement: “I’ll look for other directors, and look for it slowly.” He changed the subject: “I heard that Netflix has obtained Internet licenses for some movies from DreamWorks, so I can tell you something. Spielberg, you are not pleasing to the eye, isn't the bid low?"

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

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

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

"I know that your company is developing very well." Tom Cruise added: "All the movies released this year are all very popular and very profitable."

Ronan wasn't humble, and said, "It's a gain."

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

He looked at the time, stood up and said, "I have to go to a public relations agency and a brokerage firm, and talk again when I have time."

Ronan sent him out, still reminding him: "You and Nicole are both going to redeem prizes. The agent is not capable, so don't expect too much from her."

Tom Cruise replied: "I will make adjustments."

Leaving Relativity Entertainment, Tom Cruise got into the car and made several calls, some to other aa agents, some to friends in the media industry, and some to related public relations companies.

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

After finishing the work from the brokerage company and the public relations company, the phone calls were answered one after another. Although the answers were a little vague and not very clear, Tom Cruise knew very well that Pat Kingsley was really biased.

It used to be difficult to investigate in a short time, but the awards season is underway and Oscar public relations are in full swing. It is not particularly difficult to figure out how he and his ex-wife hit the Oscar for performance awards.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now I have noticed it, and found that things are really as Ronan reminded.

Tom Cruise is a little grateful to Ronan that Ronan must have noticed something, so he specifically mentioned Oscar public relations.

In terms of the overall situation and the perspective of seeing people, it seems that he is really inferior to Ronan.

Not to be resigned to the wind.

When Tom Cruise was driving back to Beverly Hills, he specifically called Ronan and invited him to have a drink at his own place. Unexpectedly, Ronan refused!

As for the reason, he didn't hide him. The guy Ronan got a little singer and wanted to go hi and bah with the female singer at night.

That little gratitude of Tom Cruise disappeared in an instant, this guy values ​​color and value friends!

Back home, after dinner, Tom Cruise thought about it seriously, especially about the agent.

This is not only related to this year's Oscar awards, but also related to future cooperation.

Since Pat Kinsley's stance is biased towards Nicole Kidman, it's time for the cooperation with her to end. Although the economic contract has not expired, it will be fired directly. The big deal is to pay the penalty.

If you don’t leave aa, you don’t even need liquidated damages.

For a star actor like him, it’s easy to change agents. Say hello to the agency and aa will take the initiative to do it.

Tom Cruise thought about it for a while. Even if Pat Kinsley is fired, it can’t be right now. It takes time for the agent to handover work and cooperate with him. This will affect the Oscar public relations belt, which is not so smooth. Will have a great negative impact.

Then wait until the Oscar nominations are announced or the Oscar awards ceremony is over.

In the following days, through investigations, Tom Cruise became more and more certain that Pat Kingsley’s main energy and resources were placed on Nicole Kidman, and he made up his mind to fire the agent over time. Squid.
