It's not just Los Angeles that's showing "Hurricane Rescue 2", it's also showing "Hurricane Rescue 2" on the European continent on the other side of Oceania.

Located in the heart of Rome, the Medici Cinema is the largest cinema in Italy, with a total of 18 screens.

At this time, in the No. 1 Cinema Hall, on the left side of the aisle, there were two middle-aged men wearing masks.

They are none other than Tom and Warren. Egger.

Brother Tom is really handsome, even if he is wearing a mask, even if he is Ben Wu, he is still handsome.

Warren was originally an ordinary looker, sitting in front of Tom, he was much uglier.

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

Tom and Warren are both staring at the big screen.

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

Warren came on a business trip this time, and happened to know that Tom was here, and originally wanted to chat together, but Tom said to go to the movies, so the two of them watched the movie together.

In recent years, Tom and Xiaobei have a good relationship, and many people think that Tom is a man/gay.

Warren was sitting next to Tom at this time, and he always felt uncomfortable.

He is far less natural than Xiaobei, but he is still a little worried about chrysanthemums.

This prevented him from concentrating on the movie.

He only knows that this is a good movie, and it has a very good reputation in the beautiful country, but he doesn't know what is good about the movie.

"Man, let's go."

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

Tom picked up the coffee, took a sip, and then said, "Very good movie, Li is amazing." ”

Brother Tom is known as the desperate San Lang of the beautiful country, and his fighting degree is no less than that of Cheng Long.

However, for Cheng Long, he has already praised many times.

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

Unlike other supergiants, Tom is the producer of most of Tom's movies.

In other words, the six major Hollywood companies are responsible for giving money, and as for finding actors, directors, including editing, dubbing, soundtracks, and other post-production, Tom is personally responsible.

"Mission Impossible 2" and "Mission Impossible 3" are both directors that Tom found himself.

He now attaches great importance to the abilities of directors.

Warren nodded, "Yes, his previous "Hangover" was very good, action movies, comedy films, can be done so well, very rare." ”

Tom smiled, "What do you think of "Hurricane Rescue 2"?"

When Warren heard this, he was embarrassed, he was worried about chrysanthemums at the time, and he didn't watch the movie seriously at all.

Fortunately, Tom didn't notice this, and Tom continued: ""Hurricane Rescue 2" is even better than the first part, and Lee's directing level is better. ”

Warren chimed in: "Yes, he has a bright future. ”

Brother Tom nodded, "Compared with the first part, the plot of "Hurricane Rescue 2" is fuller, not only the one-man show of the male protagonist alone, but also his daughter is very important, in this case, the characters are more three-dimensional, the plot is richer, and there is more tension. ”

Tom is one of Hollywood's most famous producers, and his professionalism in watching movies is naturally very strong.

"And compared with the first part, the second part has some more cool plots, when the actor was imprisoned, he relied on listening to the voice to defend the position, so that his daughter found him, this scene is absolutely wonderful, it is rare in Hollywood in recent years, and it can make people shine with a design."

When Warren heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head.

When he was in the cinema, although he wasn't very serious, he still knew the general plot, and that scene was really exciting.

"Under such foreshadowing, the decisive moment of the final actor is very cool."

"And the last action scene of the second part, compared with the first part, the enemy's counterattack is more fierce, there are more gunfight scenes, there are more uncertain factors, and the audience can feel the sense of oppression with the male protagonist."

Tom raised his coffee and took another sip.

"Lee is indeed improving, "Hurricane Rescue 2" is a very good commercial movie, and it may have a global box office of three or four billion US dollars."

"Four hundred million? Too much, right?"

It's not that Lee Shengyao's movies can't reach 400 million, just like "The Hangover" is more than 400 million.

However, in this period, it is still a movie with an investment cost of 50 million US dollars, and 400 million is really a bit much.

is like "Spy Shadow 3" released in 07, the global box office is only 397 million, less than 400 million.

You must know that there are many scenes in "Spy Shadow 3", with an investment of 120 million US dollars.

Brother Tom smiled when he heard this, "Maybe, anyway, in my heart, this movie is very good, and it can take 400 million US dollars." ”

He paused for a moment, then asked, "How's Lee's personality?"

After the failure of "Mission Impossible 3", the Ramon faction publicly stated that it would no longer cooperate with Tom.

However, seeing the fire of "Spy Shadow 3" and "007 Quantum of Solace", the Ramon faction quickly loosened.

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

Tom is still the producer, and he is the director.

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

The "Mission Impossible" series of movies has been made three times, and the three movies have completely different styles.

The highest box office is "Mission Impossible 2", which got a global box office of 590 million US dollars, but this movie is like a handsome MV, with a very poor reputation, and has been complained by many fans and critics.

And in Hollywood, word of mouth is very important.

Despite the highest box office, Tom did not hesitate to replace John Woo.

Just watched "Hurricane Rescue 2", Tom felt that Li Shengyao was quite talented and a little excited.

When Warren heard this, he was speechless, he wanted to cooperate with Tom, but people wanted to find Li Shengyao.

He thought about it, but he still planned to tell the truth, "He is a very confident person, very focused, serious, and very strict with the quality of the film." ”

Tom nodded, "I appreciate strict people, their fastidious attitude can make a more perfect movie." ”

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

"Why?"

"He's a control freak, he won't allow anyone else to tell him to make a movie, he won't allow anyone else to edit, and when he had "The Hangover," the editors were completely at his disposal, and they didn't even know if they were cutting it for good or bad, and in filmmaking, everyone else was just his marionette."

When Brother Tom heard this, there was disappointment in his eyes.

He's also a control freak, and he likes to be in full control of his own films.

After the turn of the millennium, he rarely collaborated with big directors because both sides 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."
