By December, the rough cut of "Reservoir Dogs" was completed, and Duca and the crew watched it again.

Except for the uncertain background music, the rest of the content is similar to what I remember from "Reservoir Dogs". It's humorous, violent, thrilling, and a little brain-burning. It's very exciting to watch.

"What do you think after watching the movie?"

Duca asked as he turned off the projector.

"Cool, very cool, this is the movie I want."

Quentin said loudly.

"Amazing! The design of this movie is very stunning. When it is released, it will definitely arouse cheers from colleagues."

Laurence Band said.

Tim Roth and Roger Ivory and a couple of young production assistants also said it was great.

"Yes, it's stunning and cool, no doubt about it, but I'd love to hear a different opinion, Monica, Debra, ladies first."

Duca looked at the company's only two female audiences. Generally, movie audiences are divided into men and women, and then further divided into men and women of different age groups and men and women with different educational backgrounds.

So when watching the movie internally, he specially called the audience of different genders and age groups. There were old men in their fifties and sixties, girls, and men in their twenties, thirties, and thirties.

After watching the movie, solicit their opinions and views to understand the feedback of each group on the movie.

"Quentin, I'm sorry, I might have to say something that will upset you."

Monica smiled slightly.

"It's okay, Monica, I'd love to hear your suggestions."

Quentin said eagerly.

"First of all, the plot design of this movie is great. There are three independent chapters and three main character clues. It makes an undercover movie extremely exciting. From this point of view, there is no doubt about the talent and strength of director Quentin."

"Haha, Monica, you said it very well, thank you for the compliment!"

Quentin winked at Duca proudly.

"Ahem~ Monica, don't be too tactful, just say the problem directly."

Duca reminded.

Monica smiled on her pretty face,

"First of all, the movie has too many swear words and is too bloody, especially the scene where the police were brutally beaten, and their ears were cut off. I personally found it disgusting. Another point is that there are a lot of humorous dialogues in the movie, but I don't fully understand it.

It’s a matter of language environment.”

"I also don't like the part about cutting off the ears. It looks disgusting."

Debra frowned and said that when she first saw it, she couldn't help but retched several times, and finally she just covered her eyes to avoid looking.

"Ladies, thank you for your suggestion. I think this movie is not suitable for you."

Quentin shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Your sentence directly excludes more than 3 billion female viewers around the world, how cool! So Mr. Herman, Mr. Meaney, what do you two think?"

Duca asked.

Walter Meaney is a producer of LV Pictures. He is 55 years old. He originally worked for United Artists. After United Artists was merged by MGM, he became an independent producer. He was recently recruited by LV Pictures.

, became one of the heads of the production department.

Another Monte Herman is a well-known independent film producer in the circle. He is 67 years old and is an old producer and editor. His representative works are "Shoot", "Tornado Rider", "Avalanche Train" and so on.

After seeing the script for "Reservoir Dogs," he wanted to direct the movie, but Tarantino planned to do it himself.

Monte also took the initiative to serve as the film's producer and editing consultant. He gave the young Quentin a lot of valuable advice and direction during the filming, and was an indispensable member of the crew.

Monte Herman and Walter Meaney discussed it and said,

"There are many good aspects, and we won't go into details. The problematic aspects are similar to Miss Bellucci. First of all, the plot design of the movie is relatively complicated, which can almost overwhelm younger and lower-educated audiences, who cannot understand it;

Secondly, there are a lot of bloody and violent scenes, excluding the vast majority of female viewers, as well as moviegoers under the age of 17. If you can delete a little bit, such as the details of cutting off ears."

"No way, I repeat, I will never delete my work, not at all."

Quentin clenched his fists and said seriously.

Ducat raised his eyebrows. This movie is quite bloody and violent. When it is released, it will be classified as NC-17 by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), which means that it is not allowed to be watched by those under 17 years old. There will also be scenes of police brutality and murder.

will be criticized and boycotted.

If these two parts can be changed and the movie is adjusted to an R rating, and audiences under 17 years old can only watch it if accompanied by their parents or guardians, there will undoubtedly be more moviegoers and better box office data.

But Quentin is a very stubborn guy, and it is very difficult for him to castrate himself.

"Hey, Duka, what do you mean if you don't say anything? We have already agreed that I will make the decision on the movie. I can't delete it at will. Do you want to go back on it?"

Quentin's face was dark, and his originally ugly face became even more sinister.

"Why are you so anxious? Everyone is just asking questions and suggestions, and no one is forcing you to change. Who are you showing your shameful face to?"

Duca glanced at him and said.

"You really decided not to delete it?"

Hearing this, Quentin turned from anger to joy.

"You have the final say about the movie. "Reservoir Dogs" is our company's first movie. It is an experimental movie. I don't intend to make money. There is not much difference between R-rated and NC-17. It is almost the same whether it is deleted or not."

"Duka, your decision is so wise. Maybe if it is released like this, our movie will be a big hit."

Quentin chuckled.

"I hope you're right."

The reason why he didn't change the plot of the movie was not only because of his low box office expectations, but also because of Quentin himself.

There are many talented directors in Hollywood, but not many are persistent.

After many film directors were forced to change their films again and again, they castrated themselves and became a prisoner. They lost their original talent and spirituality, and fell from genius directors to mediocre directors.

As for Quentin, he has always made his own decisions on his films, and has not been ruined by the market or the producers. This is one of the reasons why Quentin can maintain his personal characteristics and continue to produce good works.

The person who played a key role in this matter was Harvey Weinstein. Quentin has worked with Harvey from the first film "Reservoir Dogs" to "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill 1 and 2".

Harvey is famous for being a big scissor, but he doesn't touch Quentin's works, also for this reason.

Even Harvey can tolerate Quentin's messing around, and Duca doesn't think he is any worse than that fat man.

"Quentin, I'll leave the post-production to you. The Sundance Film Festival is only one month away. I hope to see the finished film before the festival."

"no problem!"

Quentin made an OK gesture and then led the others to get busy.

There is still a lot of work left for this film, including fine editing and editing, music and sound effects, film development, etc.

Duca also has a lot of work. The film is about to be produced and the next step is to consider releasing it.

The company has no distribution channels. He needs to find a suitable distribution company for the film, such as Miramax. He is going to wait for "Reservoir Dogs" to be completed and ask Harvey to watch it and listen to his opinions.
