"Andy, congratulations, both films have had a bumper box office success. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info and the overseas release of the film "The Da Vinci Code" is also very good, I think he will not have any problems at the global box office of 600 million US dollars. "See Ang Liu and then Tom? Cruise said with emotion.

The "War of the Worlds" that he participated in last year almost exceeded $600 million at the global box office. But what about "Mission Impossible 3", which I have put a lot of effort into this year? I'm afraid the North American box office won't even reach $150 million. It is also difficult to break $400 million at the global box office.

This is the gap, and the gap is not a little bigger. MGM didn't pour all its resources into this film. I also heard Spielberg say that he was also present when Liu Anran invited Hanks, and it was very easy for people to settle down.

"Let's have a drink first, I brought it from Howling Eagle Winery, and then we'll talk." Liu Anran to Tom? Cruise said after pouring a glass of wine.

Can he hear Tom? The frustration in Cruise's tone, but there was no way, and he didn't deliberately suppress the box office of "Mission Impossible 3", just compared it.

"Cruise, do you know what makes our company different from other companies?" After taking a sip of red wine, Liu Anran asked.

Tom? Cruise shook his head, feeling as if it wasn't much different except that he had more money. But since Liu Anran asked so, it is definitely not the reason.

"Our company will carefully prepare for the shooting of key films." Liu Anran said with a smile.

"This tradition is actually still carried over from when I was filming Pirates of the Caribbean. Although the preparation time in the early stage is too long, which will invisibly increase some of the production costs, the benefits are also obvious, the shooting will be smooth, and the quality of the film can be guaranteed. ”

"Even when I was filming Pirates of the Caribbean, Lin Yibin and I would discuss every shot. We had a clear idea of what we wanted for each shot, and only the better shots would be kept when shooting. ”

"Let's just say that your "Mission Impossible" has experienced a change of director, a change of role, and a change of script, not to mention that the preparation time is also very long, but the real effective preparation time is very short."

Tom? Cruise nodded, he had put too much effort into this film, but he received the least reward, and even he himself was a little unacceptable.

"I don't know when your next Mission: Impossible movie will be made, but if Paramount doesn't invest in you, you can contact our company. The only requirement was to have at least half a year in advance of the shoot, because I had to ask our screenwriting team to carefully craft the script. Liu Anran continued.

"Of course, Paramount is your partner, and if they're willing to take the risk that the fourth part won't be a good box office deal, you can continue to work with them. To put it bluntly, no other company would dare to give you the most money to make it like ours. ”

Tom? Cruise frowned, he was also a person who knew the conflict between Liu Anran and Paramount very well. The last time I talked about the film "War of the Worlds", Liu Anran made it clear.

But Liu Anran wanted to snatch the filming rights of the fourth part from Paramount, which made him a little difficult to accept.

I've been working with Paramount for a long time, and the previous collaborations have been very successful, but this time it's just a little bit unsuccessful.

"Cruise, you're not mistaken, I do want to use this incident to suppress Paramount. Everyone knows the grievances with them, and I don't need to hide them. But I have another meaning, that is, I don't want this subject to be scrapped by them. Liu Anran said with a smile again.

"Paramount doesn't have a lot of experience with the franchise, and I can confidently say that they're a lot worse than we are. We're running a series like Pirates of the Caribbean, Spy Shots, Transformers this year, and the upcoming Fast & Furious. ”

"Our goal is to shoot five or more of these films. Our screenwriting team has a permanent screenwriter for these films. is not like Paramount, seeing that this film has good results, he fools around and shoots the next one, so that he can make a round of money. ”

"Maybe this "Fast and Furious" box office will not be very high, but I can secretly tell you that this film is just a foreshadowing of the later plot. And from the fourth part, Fan? Diesel and Paul? Walker will all be back to officially start their story. ”

"Of course, the filming of the fourth part of "Mission Impossible" cannot be put on schedule so soon. After all, the third part has just been released, and there is still a lot of time for the market to digest. I'm just telling you in advance that if Paramount doesn't have much interest in investing in the fourth part of the film in the future, you can come to me. ”

"You can't let this matter affect your relationship with Paramount. It's between me and Paramount, and I can't let you fall in the middle. Just as DreamWorks was going to break away from Paramount, I never had contact with Spielberg. ”

In his memory, the filming of "Mission Impossible 4" was not so smooth, and Paramount, who slammed the door, did not give much money for the shooting. He's just in Tom now? Cruise planted a message in his heart in advance, if Paramount didn't give up, he wouldn't be able to pay for it in the future, and he could come to him.

I really can't be too anxious about this matter, otherwise why wouldn't I have chosen to meet the grand Ramon in public? I'm afraid that if Paramount's head is hot, he will have to shoot the fourth part alive or dead. That way, his little abacus won't work, but he will help Paramount.

In fact, the current Paramount is not far from the real decline, and they have snatched a lot of movies from them, and they have even snatched "Transformers". This film also brought Paramount a lot of money, and it is also the film that has always supported Paramount.

Tom? Cruise nodded, even if he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart now, and he didn't have the intention of leaving Paramount, but Liu Anran also expressed some kindness.

Everyone knows that MGM is very willing to invest in films, and Liu Anran is saying this now, which definitely means that there is no need to worry about the production cost in the future. In his heart, at least there is some looseness.
