Legendary Hollywood Producer

In the office of Western Europe Pictures, Roman tells Schulman his guess.

Paramount Pictures wanted La Romance to enter the game to restrain Tom Cruise's right to speak in the "Mission Impossible" series.

It's hard not to associate these two things together. Paramount Pictures invited Roman to serve as a producer and introduced Manhai Entertainment’s investment. The purpose was to show good intentions, and it must have the meaning of suppressing Tom Cruise, otherwise it would be impossible to give Roman the position of film producer. , This is an obvious seizure of power.

He was a little unsure about this, hoping to hear Schulman's opinion.

"Tom Cruise has an inexplicable desire to control, I have inquired about it in private." Roman walked a few steps, and then said: "When he was shooting "Mission Impossible 2", he not only liked to interfere with the script creation and filming work. , Even the way the brand is implanted must satisfy his ideas."

"But every movie in the "Mission Impossible" series has made money, and there is also Tom Cruise's credit." Shulman knew that Paramount Pictures was willing to introduce it into the "Mission Impossible" movie project. After the funding of Manhai Entertainment, it also put forward another perspective.

He continued: "We invested money and joined the production of filming. It must be a very beneficial thing for us, and there is no need to think about other things."

"I also understand that "Mission: Impossible" is a very high-quality project, but I am afraid that after we enter the game, we will have an affair with Tom Cruise. You also know that there is another condition for us to enter the game. It is for me to be the film. Producer."

This is a bit difficult to handle. Shulman thought for a while before he said: "Communicate with him a lot. I really can’t persuade. It doesn’t matter if you have sex. You are the producer and you have a production company. He doesn’t take you seriously. Method."

Roman looked out the window, but thought about joining "Mission Impossible 3" in his heart.

He was really moved by what George said and wanted to join the project to get a share.

And in fact, Tom Cruise has too many black spots in the future, his mediocre acting "vase" (never won any awards that affirm his acting in a subjective sense), the insatiable money machine ("Mission Impossible") "The story between the series and Paramount Pictures is wonderful), marriage losers (have experienced three divorces, and each marriage professed to go on forever), "cult" followers (talking about the philosophy of Scientology) ......

People often have an illusion, as if winners are perfect and correct in all aspects. A business tycoon must have a harmonious and happy family, and brilliant actors and celebrities must be friendly and sincere. of.

The chaos in Hollywood has fully proved that character has nothing to do with acting skills or popularity. Otherwise, people like Justin Bieber won’t become popular, and people like Angelina Jolie who are addicted to drugs will not play the most important role in the "Tomb Raider" series, "Laura". "Now, Leonardo DiCaprio's private life is extremely chaotic and people on the table will not succeed in succession...

The more important point is that the "Mission Impossible" series can't get rid of Tom Cruise at all. He branded this series of movies with the unique imprint of Tom Cruise, and part of the copyright is in his hands. After all, he had to get his permission to make the "Mission Impossible" series of movies.

What's more, in Hollywood, Tom Cruise is definitely called a "Desperate Saburo", whether it is the criterion that he doesn't like shooting with a stand-in, or that he insists not to edit the plot on the green screen when shooting dangerous actions in the movie. It can be seen that as an actor, he is qualified.

"I will communicate with him well. I will go to Paramount Pictures and discuss the cooperation in detail." Roman continued, "Is there anything else you have here?"

"..."

Back at Manhai Entertainment, I called George to tell George about his joining in the production of "Mission Impossible 3", and then made an appointment with him to meet at Paramount Pictures.

He went to the legal department of the company, took two people, and Roman drove to the meeting place-Paramount Pictures' reception room.

George also knew Roman's intentions and prepared the contract early.

"Let's take a look first." George is already very familiar with Roman, and he didn't say any polite words. When he opened his mouth, it was Roman's purpose.

After receiving the contract that George handed over, Roman asked two assistants to help check it.

"Have you already contacted Tom Cruise?"

"We both have plans to restart the "Mission Impossible" series of movies. The company has already sent people to negotiate. The cooperation will be a matter of time." George seemed very calm, indeed, as he said, Tom Cruise will not. Give up this series of movies.

"How much is Paramount willing to give up?"

"10%, no matter what the budget for filming, this number can only be reduced but not increased."

"Will Tom Cruise have an opinion about me being the producer of this film?"

"He is a smart man who knows how to maximize his interests. He won't easily deny you." George said with a smile on his face, "Unless you made a big mistake, otherwise he can't take you away." To get rid of the position of the producer, this is what we mean by Paramount."

Roman immediately understood that Paramount Pictures was determined to contain Tom Cruise's right to speak in the "Mission Impossible" series.

When the business was finished, Roman began to chat with George.

Talk about anecdotes in the circle, talk about the performance of a certain star or actor... talk about career.

When the two assistants who brought him carefully checked the contract and nodded to indicate that there were no traps, Roman took out a prepared pen from his pocket and signed his name on the contract.

This also announces that Manhai Entertainment has officially joined the filming and production project of "Mission Impossible 3".

In addition to the stipulated share, the contract also indicated the labor remuneration that Roman can get as a producer of the film.

Before that, Roman had been supervising the production of the movie for his own family, and he had never received the pay that belonged to the producer.

Today, Paramount Pictures is willing to pay 3 million US dollars in salary for his joining, plus 3% of the profit of the copyright development of the film.

This remuneration can be regarded as the treatment of a first-line producer, which also shows that Paramount Pictures attaches great importance to Roman and believes that he is worthy of the value of a first-line producer.

After the cooperation was negotiated, Roman did not stay long, and returned to the company with an assistant.
