The completion of the movie only means that the shooting task is completed, and the movie at this time is only a half-finished product, and the actors can end it, but the director still has a lot of work to complete.

In the editing room, Jiang Hao finished watching the film made by the editor, which was one-fifth less than his director's version, and the director sometimes wanted to explain one thing clearly, but the editor thought that those were ineffective shots and could be discarded.

"Terry, I don't think the previous explanation was detailed enough." Jiang Hao put forward his opinion.

"Director Hall, if the front is too thin, it will make the beginning a little dull, which will make the audience feel loveless, you are a comedy, not a literary film." The editor said.

"But you have to explain it clearly."

"Some shots are enough for the audience to make up for themselves, and the rest can be cut off, the movie is not written, it needs to be described and foreshadowed by Chen Chang."

In the end, Jiang Hao compromised, after all, he was a professional, and he had to admit that it was indeed much more concise and crisp than his own version, but it could be seen that Rayla preferred the three little raccoons, and gave them more shots, minus more shots of Monroe.

The final cut version came out, and there were a series of steps such as dubbing, music, sound effects, etc., and another seven or eight days passed, and these were finally done.

In the screening room, Jiang Hao and Monroe sat in the main seat, Connor, Robert and several company executives came, as well as Deborah and several contracted actors. The lights are turned off, the room is pitch black, the projector comes on, a beam of light hits the screen, and the movie officially plays.

From the time the three little guys made trouble at Monroe's house, people laughed from time to time, and when the robbers were played by the three little guys, there was even more laughter in the room, until the last scene, Jiang Hao and Monroe were eating in a restaurant, saying what they had written, and advertising for their Chiguoguo.

In the movie, the three little guys are the protagonists, Monroe's outfit is not glamorous, very beautiful but does not show too much sexiness, this is the result of Jiang Hao's makeup, in this, he doesn't need Monroe like that.

As for the highlights, it is naturally the director himself on camera, although there is only a short three-minute soy sauce appearance, but the acting skills are outstanding, handsome, handsome, handsome, quite the style of a generation of male gods, no wonder it costs $10,000 for the performance.

"Whoa!"

The room burst into applause.

"Boss, this movie is fantastic, it uses a lot of novel techniques to make the movie look joyful but not pretentious, and a couple will attract countless people to watch it." Connor said.

"I have to take my son to the cinema to see it, and the three little raccoons are definitely the children's favorite." Robert said with a smile.

Others also sent praise.

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

His small film company doesn't have the ability to distribute, but these Jiang Hao can be handed over to General Manager Connor and Legal Director Robert.

"Which studio are you going to choose for distribution, MGM, Paramount, or Warner?" Connor asked.

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

"Okay." Connor Road.

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

Some competitors in order to stop you, or for some reason, take action to destroy your film, or secretly copy and circulate it, this kind of thing has not happened, Jiang Hao never believed that there is only such a thing as truth, goodness and beauty left in this world, and the darkness will always exist, he has experienced too much, and he has to guard against it.

It is another difficult process to negotiate with those big film companies, and those film companies have basically developed a strong interest after watching this "Wars", thinking that this is definitely a very potential comedy, which is very suitable for parents to watch with their children.

They can imagine that this movie should be profitable, but no one is a fool, business negotiations are always more than they want, even if they fancy it, no one will be crazy like a fool to make a bid, only according to the estimate.

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

"Boss, we have been in contact with several big film companies, and they all appreciate our film, boss, you have succeeded, and now MGM, Paramount, Warner, Universal, United States, Twentieth Century, and Disney are all interested in releasing it."

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

Jiang Hao shook his head, "I want to take away the hen that lays my golden eggs, it's a good idea from the boss of Disney, but that's impossible." ”

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

The issuance stage, also known as the hellish stage, involves money and commercial interests, and the investor can be more brutal than any harsh person in the world, after all, no one wants to lose money, and they want to make more profits.

Making a movie is definitely not as glamorous as it seems, it is a very difficult job, choosing the subject matter, the shooting process, post-production, film review, film distribution, publicity and release, all the way to the final profit sharing, this is not easy at every step.

Negotiate ~ negotiate ~ renegotiate.

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

In the end, Jiang Hao made a choice,

Warner.

Warner's distribution ability is very strong, there is no doubt about this, Connor came out of Warner, and when the two sides were negotiating, the difference of opinion was not very big, Warner did not suppress Jiang Hao because their company was a newcomer, which made Jiang Hao very comfortable.

In that case, choose Warner.

Next, the film also needs to be promoted, which is also the top priority of a movie, and the publicity cost is also a large part of the film's production.

It cost more than $1.6 million to shoot Jiang Hao before, which is already a very money-saving state, Jiang Hao has almost no waste, and now he has to spend $1 million for publicity, accounting for more than one-third.

Looking at the accounts, the company had run out of money.

If the film fails completely, it will be a sign that Hall Films will go out of business and close its doors, and such things abound in Hollywood, and they are not new at all.

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

Those are two different things, and they should not be confused.

But there is good news recently, the publisher called, Jiang Hao's book has been printed and ready to be released in the near future, and it will be on the shelves of major bookstores in the United States, and Jiang Hao has also got the first edition of the book.

"Jon, can you give me a copy, I want your autograph." Monroe hugged Jiang Hao's shoulders and said.

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

"That's for the best."

A few days later, Jiang Hao received a report from Robert, "Jon, the bookseller called, yesterday your book was launched, and more than 100 copies were sold in one day, which is a good result, and with the rise of word of mouth, this number will have an increase, and they estimate that the 50,000 books printed should be sold out within a year." ”

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

In terms of movies, Warner also started a large-scale publicity campaign, advertising on TV is now one of the mainstream, when the three cute little raccoons jumped out, many people thought it was a TV show, but when there was a movie commercial later, many people scolded it.

People are more and more fond of looking at things without spending money, and people scoff at everything that costs money.

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

Colorful posters were also posted outside the cinema.

The publicity campaign has also been huge, at least now many people in the United States already know, on October 8, there is a story of three raccoons and a beautiful woman to be released in the cinema, Jiang Hao also launched an activity, the first day to go to the cinema to watch a movie, children under the age of 10, can get a commemorative version of the little raccoon doll.

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

October 8th arrived in a flash, this evening, Jiang Hao drove Monroe to a movie theater in New York, there is no premiere in this era, Jiang Hao is not ready to do it, there is no big media to do publicity, getting a premiere is definitely a money-losing business.

The two walked into the theater hall holding hands, Jiang Hao's family saw that many parents came with their children, many children gathered around the toy counter to receive toy raccoons, toy raccoons are divided into three kinds, large, medium and small, the free kind is just a trumpet, about the size of an adult's palm, medium more than 20 cm, large more than 40 cm, and a real little raccoon about the same size, fat and very cute.

This is also Jiang Hao's sales strategy, the trumpet is sent, if you want to be better, then pay for it, and the three little raccoons look and act differently, aren't you going to buy a full set to take home.

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

"Absolutely." Jiang Hao went over and paid for the largest one, and Monroe happily held it in his arms.

One girl saw this scene and said to her boyfriend next to 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, then let's have a big one." ”
