Chapter 702 A Generation of Male Gods Are Handsome and Compelling

The completion of the film only means that the shooting task is completed. At this time, the film is only a semi-finished product. The actors can finish, but the director still has a lot of work to do.

In the editing room, after Jiang Hao finished watching the film made by the editor, it was one-fifth smaller than his director's version. Sometimes the director wanted to make something clear, but the editor thought that those shots were invalid, completely ineffective. can be discarded.

"Terry, I think the previous explanation is not detailed enough." Jiang Hao made an opinion.

"Director Hall, if the front is too detailed, it will make the beginning a bit dull, which will make the audience feel loveless. This is a comedy film, not a literary film." The editor said.

"But always make it clear."

"Some scenes are enough for the audience to make up their own brains, and the rest can be completely cut out. Movies are not about writing novels, and need Chen Chang's description and foreshadowing."

In the end, Jiang Hao compromised. After all, he is a professional. He has to admit that it is indeed much simpler and clearer than his version. However, it can be seen that Rila prefers the three little raccoons, so he gave more shots to him. Plus they're minus more of Monroe's shots.

The final edited version came out, followed by a series of steps such as dubbing, music, sound effects, etc. After another seven or eight days, these were finally done.

In the screening room, Jiang Hao and Monroe sat at the main seats, Connor, Robert and several company executives came, as well as Deborah and several contracted actors. After turning off the lights, the room became pitch black, the projector was turned on, a beam of light hit the screen, and the movie was officially played.

From the time when the three little guys made trouble in Monroe's house, people laughed from time to time. When the robber was played by the three little guys, the room laughed even more. Until the last scene, Jiang Hao and Monroe ate in a restaurant, told her novel, and advertised for herself.

In the movie, the three little guys are the protagonists. Monroe's dress is bright, very beautiful but not too sexy. This is the result of Jiang Hao's makeup. In this, he doesn't need Monroe like that.

As for the bright spot, it was naturally the director himself who was on camera. Although there was only a short three-minute soy sauce appearance, his acting skills are outstanding, handsome, handsome, handsome, and he has the demeanor of a generation of male gods. What about the $10,000 show fee?

"Wow, boom!"

There was warm applause in the room.

"Boss, this movie is great. It uses a lot of novel techniques to make the movie look joyful but not artificial. It will attract countless people to watch." Connor said.

"I must take my son to the cinema. The three little raccoons are definitely the children's favorite." Robert said with a smile.

Others also sent compliments.

Jiang Hao smiled, and said to the group of subordinates: "Next, send the film for review, and then find a good distributor. This is your job."

His small film company does not have distribution capabilities, but these Jiang Hao can be handed over to general manager Connor and legal director Robert.

"Which film company are you going to choose to distribute, MGM, Paramount or Warner?" Connor asked.

"Let's talk about it, let them watch the film, whoever has the best conditions will distribute it." Jiang Hao said.

"Okay." Connor said.

"By the way, make a few more copies of the film, and keep the master film with me. Robert, you must send someone to keep an eye on it. I don't want any mistakes to occur at this time, such as being copied by others, and our loss will be huge." Big." Jiang Hao said.

In order to stop you, or for some reason, some competitors destroy your film, or secretly copy and circulate it. This kind of thing has never happened. Jiang Hao never believed that there are only such things as truth, goodness and beauty left in this world. The darkness will always exist, he has experienced too much, and he has to guard against it.

Negotiating with those big film companies is another difficult process. After watching this "Coon Wars", those film companies basically have a strong interest, thinking that this is definitely a comedy with great potential , very suitable for parents to take their children to see.

They can imagine that this movie should be profitable, but no one is a fool. Business negotiations can always ask for more. offer.

In the office, Connor and Robert reported the situation, and they seemed to be in a good mood.

"Boss, we have contacted several major film companies, and they all appreciate our film. Boss, you have succeeded. Now MGM, Paramount, Warner, Universal, United Artists, 20th Century, and Disney are all interested in it. issued."

"Disney has also made several animated and live-action movies in the past two years, and also shot two animal movies. They are very interested in the three little raccoons and asked whether they can buy them."

Jiang Hao shook his head, "It's a good idea from Disney's boss to take away my golden hen, but it's impossible."

Knowing the current situation, Jiang Hao said: "Next, I will officially enter the negotiation stage with you, and work hard for every share."

The release stage is also known as the hell stage, which involves money and commercial interests. Investors may be crueler than any cruel people in this world. After all, no one wants to lose money and earn more profits.

Making a movie is definitely not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. It is a very difficult job. The selection of the subject matter, the shooting process, post-production, film review, film distribution, publicity and release, all the way to the final profit sharing, each step is different. Simple.

Negotiate ~ negotiate ~ renegotiate.

During this period of time, Jiang Hao has been meeting the bosses of those big film companies, and at the same time, he has also met many people and seen many faces.

In the end, Jiang Hao made a choice,

Warner.

Warner’s publishing ability is very strong. There is no doubt about it. Connor came out of Warner. During the negotiation, the two sides did not have a big difference of opinion. Warner did not suppress Jiang Hao’s company just because they are newcomers. This makes Jiang Hao very happy. Comfortable.

That being the case, choose Warner.

Next, the movie still needs to be promoted, which is also the top priority of a movie, and the promotion cost is also a big part of the movie production.

Before filming Jiang Hao, he spent more than 1.6 million US dollars, which is already very economical. Jiang Hao hardly wastes much. Now he has to spend 1 million US dollars for publicity, accounting for more than one-third.

Looking at the accounts, the company's money has been spent and there is not much left.

If the film is a complete failure, it will herald the closure of Hall Films. Such things abound in Hollywood, which is not new at all.

What, you said Jiang Hao can get money to fill it in?

Those are two different things and should not be confused.

But there is good news recently. The publishing house called. Jiang Hao's book has been printed and is about to be released soon. It will be on the shelves of major bookstores across the United States. Jiang Hao also got the first edition of the book.

"Jon, can you give me a copy? I also want your autograph." Monroe said while hugging Jiang Hao's shoulder.

"Of course no problem, do you want me to write it down and give it to my favorite Monroe?" Jiang Hao said with a smile.

"That's the best."

A few days later, Jiang Hao received a report from Robert, "Jon, the bookseller called. Yesterday your book was released, and you sold more than 100 copies in one day. This is a good result. With the increase in word of mouth, There will be an increase in this number, and they predict that the 50,000 copies printed should be sold within a year."

If it is sold out in a year, even if one book can bring Jiang Hao a profit of 50 cents, two books with 100,000 copies are only 50,000 US dollars. This amount of money should be a lot for a writer, but for Jiang Hao is really dispensable.

In terms of movies, Warner has also started a large-scale promotional campaign. Advertising on TV is one of the mainstreams now. When the three cute little raccoons jumped out, many people thought it was a TV show, but when the movie appeared later After the advertisement, many people scolded it.

People prefer to watch things without paying more and more, and they sneer at everything that costs money.

In the newspaper, a picture of three little raccoons and Monroe appeared. Monroe showed a sweet smile, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Colorful posters were also posted outside the cinema.

The publicity campaign is quite impressive, at least many people in the United States already know it. On October 8th, a story about three raccoons and a beautiful woman will be screened in theaters. Jiang Hao also launched a campaign to go to Children who watch movies in the cinema, under the age of 10, can get a commemorative little raccoon doll.

Of course, if other people want to get it, they have to pay for it. You know, movie peripherals are also very profitable. Jiang Hao predicts that children and couples over 10 years old will be the main buyers.

October 8th arrived in a flash. On the evening of that day, Jiang Hao drove Marilyn Monroe to a movie theater in New York. There was no such thing as a premiere in this era, and Jiang Hao didn't plan to do it. Screening ceremony is definitely a money-losing business.

The two walked into the theater hall holding hands. Jiang Hao's family saw many parents bringing their children over. Many children gathered around the toy counter to receive toy raccoons. There are three types of toy raccoons, large, medium and small, and the free ones. It's just a small size, about the size of an adult's palm, a medium size of more than 20 centimeters, and a large size of more than 40 centimeters, about the size of a real little raccoon, fat and cute.

This is also Jiang Hao's sales strategy. If you want a better one, then pay for it. Besides, the three little raccoons look and act differently. Aren't you going to buy a complete set to take home? .

"Jon, I also want a little raccoon." Monroe said.

"Of course no problem." Jiang Hao went over and bought the biggest one, and Monroe hugged it happily.

A girl saw this scene and said to her boyfriend beside her, "I like big ones too."

The boy was stunned for a moment, although his heart hurt a little, but he still smiled and said: "No problem, let's get a big one."
