Craig, who was originally piloting the helicopter, gave up the pilot's seat to Jim, while he himself climbed down to fight Ethan one-on-one.

The actor who plays Craig is the Grand Duke who will appear in FA. Shinji gave him this role not only to get him used to Filming as soon as possible, but also to let him appear in the public eye.

Besides, it's rare to find a Heroic Spirit with a villainous face. Whether it's the Empress or the Grand Duke, Shinji won't let them get away with it.

The poor Empress and the Grand Duke, who were both rulers of a country in life, were instructed by a Magecraft imp to make a movie after their deaths.

In a way, Shinji Matou really isn't human...

The audience didn't care about any of that. Seeing Ethan (Diarmuid) and Craig (Grand Duke) fighting in mid-air while clinging to the helicopter's landing gear, they just applauded and cheered with excitement.

Ultimately, the key element was the exploding chewing gum mentioned at the beginning of the movie.

This kind of high-tech spy equipment is a common trope in spy movies. However, unlike the flamboyant equipment in 007, the equipment in Mission Impossible: Impossible, while exaggerated, is very practical and gives the audience a feeling of "not understanding, but feeling awesome".

"Red light--!"

Braving the fierce winds inside the tunnel, Diarmuid flashed his signature smile.

"Green light--!"

Just like a character in a comic shouting out the name of their attack, Diarmuid held up his chewing gum and then squeezed it tightly together.

Smack

After sticking chewing gum to the helicopter window, Diarmuid took a stylish leap.

Boom--!

Using the shockwave from the exploding chewing gum, Diarmuid managed to scramble onto the speeding train.

The camera repeatedly shows the spinning blades of the destroyed helicopter rapidly approaching Diarmuid, causing a chill to run down the spine as viewers fear Ethan's life may be in danger.

But as the camera panned, the helicopter blades stopped just off the front of Diarmuid's throat by a hair's breadth, a truly thrilling moment.

This well-paced narrative style greatly enhances audience engagement and achieves excellent results.

The movie has now entered its final stages, with Ethan successfully eliminating the traitor, clearing his name, and returning to the ranks of secret agents.

Good people live, bad people die, everything is so perfect.

But it wasn't over yet; the final part of the film already began to leave room for a sequel.

Shinji's previous Mission: Mission Impossible films didn't have strong connections between each other. This had the advantage of lowering the viewing threshold for other audiences, but it also limited the development of the series to some extent.

Therefore, in the later films, the producers connected several important characters to make the story appear to have a certain continuity.

Shinji naturally used a more successful template to make his own film series even more perfect.

In the official novels, Ultraman Max, the arms dealer in the first book, is portrayed as the mother of the "White Widow" who appears in the sixth book.

Shinji directly adopted this concept and even portrayed it in the movie.

However, Shinji hasn't decided on the actress for "White Widow" yet, so her appearance isn't shown in the movie.

Despite having limited screen time in the film, this character is undeniably alluring, and her allure is quite different from that of a purely wicked woman like the Empress; it even carries a touch of innocence.

This vividly portrayed character can be described in one sentence: with a gentle smile, a face like a peach blossom, she lifts her skirt to draw a knife, stabbing and slashing with abandon.

Actually, it wouldn't be impossible for the Empress to play the role, but Shinji would prefer to give it to a newcomer.

Because a well-acted character like the White Widow, even with limited screen time, can be incredibly captivating, making it the perfect tool for launching a new actress's career.

In short, thanks to Shinji's actions, the seemingly happy ending has laid a solid foundation for the plot that follows.

"It seems Shinji Matou is very confident in the film; he's already planning his next movie even before it's been released."

Before the film ended, Johnny Kitagawa, Mission Impossible had been invited to the premiere, quickly summarized Mission: Impossible in his mind.

First of all, the plot is very exciting. Although there are some plot holes, they are minor and the exciting action scenes are enough to cover up these shortcomings.

Moreover, the film's pacing and shooting techniques are used appropriately, with a good balance of tension and relaxation, and the audience's emotions are entirely under the control of Shinji Matou!

Then comes the most important part: the actor's performance. The film gave Diarmuid plenty of screen time to showcase his various handsome qualities, and the actor did a great job of that.

The old man may not understand film technology, but when it comes to male actors selling their good looks, he's an expert to the extreme.

According to Johnny Kitagawa, if the male lead in this movie can't attract a large number of female fans, then it can only mean that God has changed the direction of women's pursuit of good looks, and they've started pursuing ugly men.

"As expected, collaborating with Shinji Matou has been beneficial. I remember he has several other very handsome male actors."

Johnny Kitagawa slowly stroked his beard, a wave of emotion washing over him.

He spent most of his life cultivating male artists, but he was unable to create a truly top-tier international boy band, which is undoubtedly a regret.

"Based on my experience, the quality of Type-Moon's male actors, and Shinji Matou's works... maybe we can pull off something big."

A flame of ambition ignited in Johnny Kitagawa's eyes; he felt he could make a final push before he died.

"The only problem is how to persuade that little rascal Shinji Matou."

Johnny Kitagawa stared at Shinji's back in the front row and muttered to himself, "This kid's ambition and desires are quite considerable."

At this point, the Mission Impossible: Impossible movie had already ended.

But the audience members didn't leave after watching the movie; instead, they applauded the film's creators.

This was originally just a polite segment of the premiere, but during the applause, some female fan, seemingly overwhelmed by hormones, stood up.

Not only her, but the young girl also spurred those around her to stand up. They unfurled a banner they had prepared beforehand and began screaming wildly at Diarmuid.

"Diarmuid, we love you!!"

Soon, more and more female fans stepped forward to express their love for their idols.

"Diarmuid, we love you!!" *N

"Isn't that a bit too much?"

Diarmuid was overwhelmed by the fans' enthusiasm. Having had bad experiences before, he was even a little afraid that the male companions of these female spectators might rush out and beat him up.

Then, Shuage realized he was overthinking things.

Among the audience who stood up to cheer for him were not only women, but also a considerable number of men.

Just as Diarmuid was at a loss for what to do, the experienced Shinji quickly reminded him, "Diarmuid, take the crew up for the curtain call."

"Master, aren't you going?"

Shinji smiled slightly, "This moment belongs to you."

Just kidding, Shinji made this movie specifically for this moment, how could he possibly steal Diarmuid's thunder?

Diarmuid, having no prior experience in this area, hurriedly called the main cast and crew to the stage in front of the screen for a curtain call.

Somewhat bewildered, he bumped into the Grand Duke as he went up on stage, and the two almost fell down together.

Because the way the two of them were standing side by side, holding each other's bodies, was so similar to a scene in a movie, Diarmuid and the Grand Duke suddenly became the subject of ridicule from the entire audience.

The premiere of Mission Impossible: Impossible came to a successful close amidst good-natured laughter.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The premiere ended, and the audience left their seats.

Because many out-of-town viewers came in groups, they all gathered together when they left.

These people walked and discussed the film they had just watched.

The sophisticated woman with long, straight black hair said, "The movie was excellent."

The blonde girl next to him chimed in, "The movie was great, but Diarmuid's performance was even better."

The intellectual woman spread her hands and said, "Of course, our Diarmuid is the best."

It's obvious that this small group is a fan club of Shuage.

The brown-haired girl following behind had a sorrowful expression. "The thought of not knowing when Diarmuid's next movie will be released makes me feel very conflicted."

"Yes," the other person agreed.

The sophisticated woman played with her hair. "I never imagined that there could be such a handsome and cool man in this world. He's almost unreal."

This statement was met with agreement from his companions.

The brown-haired woman then interjected, "I heard that Diarmuid was personally recruited by Shinji Matou. That Director has a knack for scouting actors."

"Shinji Matou?"

The blonde girl tilted her head curiously; being a fan of celebrities, she was completely unfamiliar with the names of the people behind the scenes in the movie.

The knowledgeable woman explained, "She was the first producer and screenwriter of 'Mission Impossible: Impossible,' and also the Director the Fate series."

"I know Fate/Zero, it's Diarmuid's screen debut." The blonde girl chimed in, "That guy named Shinji Matou seems pretty amazing."

Suddenly, someone came up and blocked the group.

It turned out they were from a research and consulting firm. Normally, these female viewers wouldn't want to waste time doing this kind of survey and wouldn't even look at the small gift the consulting firm offered.

But tonight was different. They all rated the film, not only because they loved it so much, but also because the investigation company sent them a photo of Diarmuid.

Of course, without exception, everyone received the highest score of "A+".

Similar scenes are unfolding around countless cinemas around the world.

Chapter 265 God, this is a crime!

London, late at night.

Although he received the copy of Mission Impossible: Impossible by mail this afternoon, the busy Waver only just found time to watch the movie with his students.

Unfortunately, Waver's schedule has been packed lately, leaving him only with some leisure time, such as late at night, which is a bit awkward.

The students in El-Melloi Classroom were quite happy; for them, using the Academy's equipment was obviously much more convenient than going to central London to watch a movie late at night.

At least in the Modern Magecraft Department's movie screening room, you can simply walk back to your dorm Best Actress, instead of having to take a taxi back in the middle of the night.

You should know that, due to the old Magecraft's extremely rigid sense of secrecy, the taxi pick-up and drop-off points at the Clock Tower are damn far from the dormitory.

You can enjoy a newly released movie without having to queue for tickets or walk a long way.

For students of the Modern Magecraft Department, they simply regarded this as a benefit granted to their own Lord's school.

Who made Kenseth Lord, now nominally Magecraft and media mogul?

However, Waver wasn't as happy as the students who were thrilled to sneak into the movie.

There was no other way; the students could relax right after watching the movie, but Waver still had to write a film review.

It cannot be delegated to other Magecraft or film critics to write, because this film review is to be published in the newspaper inside the Clock Tower.

"Really..."

At his desk, Waver let out a long sigh.

"He always assigns me these kinds of troublesome tasks. Does he really think I'm omnipotent?!"

If it weren't for the wrong art style, Waver could definitely have created a world-famous painting called "The Scream" at this moment.

Writing a film review isn't complicated, but what annoys Waver is that he has to finish it tonight, squeezing out his already meager sleep time.

"Shinji Matou... saying his baldness is a water quality issue is just something you forced him to do!"

Waver gritted his teeth and wrote down his thoughts on the movie.

Driven by the impending sleep deadline, Waver displayed a writing speed comparable to that of a slacking-off online novelist rushing to meet their deadline after midnight.

He wrote a short review in just half an hour.

[Undeniably, the Fate series, directed by Shinji Matou, who is hailed as the best writer of Magecraft stories, already boasts a captivating narrative. However, this Mission: Mission Impossible film still exceeded our expectations.]

[From the perspective of plot twists, Mission Impossible: Impossible certainly can't compare to Fate, but this story Heroic Spirit Diarmuid perfectly, creating a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.]

What makes * Mission Impossible: Impossible* most impressive is its fast-paced editing and spectacular action sequences. This technological revolution in action films destined * Mission Impossible: Impossible* to rise from an excellent spy movie to a classic in film history.

The captivating aspects of this film aren't about flashy techniques that are off-putting, but rather about skillfully showcasing the characters' personalities and behaviors through the lens.

[In the past, our understanding of secret agents' agility, extraordinary sensory abilities, and superb combat skills was only very vague. But this time, Mission Impossible: Impossible directly transformed our mental concepts into the scenes we saw with our own eyes, which is its greatest contribution.]

I believe that this new Mission Impossible: Impossible film will become a new benchmark for 21st-century spy films after its release!

At this point, Waver paused briefly while typing on the keyboard.

"Alright, that's about enough for a normal film review. The rest is..."

Waver thought for a moment, then his fingers continued to dance across the keyboard.
