Tom Cruise was quite smart and whispered: "Just just play. She is just borrowing my fame. I just happened to be interested in her, and everyone got what they need."

Ronan said deliberately: "When did you secretly learn my principles of doing things?"

"You?" Tom Cruise said disdainfully: "This is a universal Hollywood rule."

Ronan shook his head straight at Tom Cruise. The relationship between the two became increasingly deeper, and some jokes could be casually said: "Tom, you want to let yourself go."

James Huang and Glen Morgan passed by and greeted Ronan and Tom Tom Cruise. After the two left, Tom Cruise said: "I feel relaxed when signing that divorce agreement. I wasted so many years and I always have to find a way to make it up."

Perhaps Ronan's words really played a role, earlier than in his previous life. Tom Cruise signed a divorce agreement with Nicole Kidman last month. Tom Cruise distributed nearly 100 million US dollars in fixed assets, including real estate, plus various fees paid in one lump sum.

Although Nicole Kidman is not the rumored Australian landlord, he will soon become a veritable billionaire female rich man.

No wonder beautiful women always get into the circle of rich and celebrity. Once they get one, even if they are abandoned in the end, they will no longer have to worry about survival in the future.

I have to say that natural beauty is a resource that can be used.

Tom Cruise said: "It was only after I took this step in marriage that I realized the excitement of Hollywood."

Ronan laughed and said, "Since that's the case, don't go in again."

Tom Cruise also laughed. The two talked about marriage and women. Tom Cruise looked up and said, "Ronan, there is something I want to ask for your advice."

After successfully operating the movie continuously, he developed a small company on the verge of bankruptcy into a small group company that integrates production and distribution. Tom Cruise has long regarded Ronan as a heavyweight in the circle.

Seeing Tom Cruise speaking seriously, Ronan put away his smile and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tom Cruise lowered his voice slightly and said, "You have a very good attitude towards production. Don't be humble. I am friends with you and I know you better than others. Ronan, have you followed the after-show market response of Mission Impossible 2?"

"I have paid attention to it." Ronan didn't say it was false: "In box office, Mission Impossible 2 has achieved great success, but the audience's reputation is not good."

"Mission: Impossible 2" has achieved great commercial success, with box office results far surpassing the first one, but its reputation plummeted.

And it is not the reputation of the film critic, but the reputation of the audience!

Tom Cruise pointed at him: "You watch the preview..."

Ronan interrupted: "Many things are latent, especially movies."

This is very reasonable. The bad movies recognized during the trial were sold well. Films with good reputations were ignored and often appeared.

The most typical one is George Lucas's "Star Wars", which was criticized by countless publishing labels and film critics during the preview. What's the result?

Many analyses of failed movies are often hindering.

Tom Cruise also understood this and said, "Ronan, there is something wrong with this film, it's obvious. You have not participated in the shooting and production of "Mission Impossible 2". From the perspective of bystanders and producers, what is the problem with this film?"

Ronan thought for a while, and now he and Tom Cruise are different from the past, and their friendship is getting deeper, so they can say something unpleasant: "The biggest problem with this movie is that it does not continue the style of the first movie. Let's put it this way, Tom. "Mission: Impossible 2" is not a Tom Cruise movie, but a John Wu movie."

The director is more likely to influence and determine the style of the film than the actors, and that seems to be fine.

But when faced with stars of Tom Gee's level, the problem arose.

Tom Cruise fell into thinking.

Ronan said again: "I didn't realize it at first, and I watched this film with all reactions. I felt that the style of the film was not right. The suspense of "Mission Impossible 1" did not have the compactness of peeling the cocoons and threads, and the suffocating tension that was progressively suffocating."

"Ethan Hant no longer falls into a mystery, seeks to recognize identity and reveal the facts, but instead directly fights with his opponents, which loses the essence of the first film and becomes more like an action film."

"Frankly, Tom." Ronan did not avoid the key question: "This film only has the idol charm of a superstar and the director's so-called violent aesthetic."

Tom Cruise nodded slightly and asked, "You mean, is this film losing itself?"

Ronan replied: "Yes. This is a film belonging to Tom Cruise and Ethan Hant, not the rest, and the rest should be for this."

"What if I do another sequel?" Tom Cruise obviously attaches great importance to Ronan's words.

"Don't shoot the sequel for the time being." Ronan also regarded Tom Cruise as a friend, so his words were rarely sincere: "Tom, you are not short of film contracts now. Judging from the market response, John Wu's style has caused aesthetic fatigue. This situation may spread to "Mission Impossible 2". If the third part is released in a short time, the negative effects of the second part may fall on this third part, causing the third part to face many problems."

Tom Cruise has been in the industry for 20 years and naturally has the ability to analyze. It is not difficult to find that the situations mentioned by Ronan are very likely to evolve into facts.

"How many years will you wait?" asked Tom Cruise.

Ronan immediately said: "Yes, wait a few more years. And you should be cautious in choosing subsequent directors, so don't use it anymore."

Tom Cruise pinched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "I'll convene people to meet when I go back. If the situation is not very good, I will discuss with Paramount Pictures and suspend the sequel project."

Since he said so much, Ronan didn't mind saying a few more words: "The suspension is for the future of the series. When fans start to miss Ethan Hante, more people will support him when they return."

Tom Cruise patted Ronan's arm: "Thank you for your advice, I owe you another favor."

Regarding divorce, he accepted Ronan's advice and chose to cut the mess with a quick knife, completely got rid of the previous dilemma, and believed that he owed Ronan a favor.

Tom Cruise felt that he benefited a lot from this discussion about "Mission Impossible 2". He was originally a little vague and difficult to deal with the series, but after hearing Ronan's words, he suddenly realized.

Tom Cruise sighed in his heart, no wonder Ronan was able to succeed continuously. This movie "Human Purge 2" was generally favored by the industry before it was released. The fundamental reason is that it has real talent and knowledge!

Hearing Tom Cruise's words, Ronan shook his head: "Tom, it's too disgusting to say favors. We are friends, and it's time to help within our ability."

Tom Cruise smiled and agreed to Ronan's words, but still felt that he was owed a favor.

In this world, human debt is the hardest to repay.

"Let's go." Ronan glanced at his watch and greeted Tom Cruise: "Go and watch the movies we invest in, and hope to achieve a good result."

Speaking of this "Human Purge 2", Tom Cruise was in a good mood instantly, followed Ronan's footsteps and said, "I will definitely make a big shot, I have a premonition."

Almost all prediction agencies in the industry believe that the results of this film will not be below the first one.

The Chiefs Stone Theater, which can accommodate thousands of people, is full. Unlike the obscurity when the "Purge of Humanity" was launched, the film was promoted and attracted more attention.

The best proof is that 2,850 theaters and 3,800 screens are opened in North America.

In contrast, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", which was previewed in 35 theaters, has no market competitiveness at all.

Miramax, who introduced this film, was very clear-headed. Even if this typical European film has a very good reputation, it has received limited attention in the North American market.

Even "Return to Glory" starring Matt Damon and Will Smith is much smaller in the premiere scale than "Human Purge 2" because of the type of the film.
