Legendary Hollywood Producer

After confirming the release with Rohrer yesterday, Romain came to Mie and Lamy to negotiate the details with Emperor Films.

After some bargaining, Roman and Dimen Pictures signed the formal North American distribution regulations on October 3rd.

Emperor Gate Pictures took 35 percent of the North American box office of "Small Town Zombie", and the cost of the release was included in it. Peripheral copyrights, Dimen Pictures takes 30% from video tapes, DVDs, and TV copyrights of films, 50% for movie derivatives, and so on. In addition, Dimen Films promised that Roman announced that the cost will not be less than 2 million, and the first cost is 800,000. If the box office is too poor, Dimen Films has the right to cancel the remaining promotional expenses.

It can be said that Emperor Gate Pictures did not take any risks and got the vast majority of the profits of the film. However, who made Hollywood be like this? The distributor always has an absolute advantage, and Roman’s heart also has something to do. The idea of ​​own distribution channels, let alone other, at least not so passive when distributing their own films.

I hope this movie will sell well, so that Roman has the money to build his own channel.

On October 25th, with Halloween approaching, Dimen Pictures also began to exert its strength. Many media outlets began to mention "Small Town Zombie", and various exquisite posters were also posted in various conspicuous positions. After all, Halloween is a lot of Americans who like to go to the cinema to watch movies. Whether they can attract their attention in the early stage and let them enter the theater to watch it depends on the propaganda power of Emperor Gate Pictures. Since Emperor Gate Pictures signed the film, it naturally wanted to maximize its profits. They even told Roman that it would not be less than the number of 2,000 theaters to open the film.

On October 27th, the movie "Small Town Zombie" was finally released in various theaters.

......

2020 is an ordinary day.

Harman is seeing a doctor in a small clinic in town. When the doctor diagnosed him, he was constantly looking around. Suddenly, he saw a middle-aged man running out covered in blood from the corner of his eye, looking very panicked. The doctor apparently saw this scene, he hurried into the room where the man just came out, and Haman felt weird and followed the doctor. He ran in and saw that a black man was stabbed to death with a needle. He looked terrible, because his face and neck were all wounds, and even his eyes were blinded. When the doctor saw this, he quickly called the police. Haman suddenly realized that he had better not participate in this kind of thing, so he hurried out of the hospital. When he arrived at the parking place, Haman took out the key, drove in the car and drove home.

As the car was driving on the road, Harman saw that there seemed to be a car accident in front of him. He drove closer and saw a man biting another man. Seeing this scene, Haman was terrified. He immediately accelerated to escape from here, but the murderer rushed towards his car, but was knocked to the ground by the car, but he looked like nothing else. Haman caught up.

Harman felt something was wrong, so he drove him away and returned to his home.

The panicked Harman desperately wanted to know what happened. He turned on the TV and saw that the American government was saying that this was a new disease similar to rabies, calling everyone not to panic. When the camera turned around, it was shown to the host who was on location in front, but the host was indeed very panicked. He kept shouting "Help, who will save me". Behind her, several policemen were bitten by people. Now, the scene is very bloody.

Harman knew that things were not as simple as the government said. He immediately called his friend, but his friend also said on the phone that he saw a lot of crazy people biting people...

Wright, who was sitting in the theater watching the movie "Zombies in a Small Town," was a little excited. He thought this movie was very good. He couldn't help but said to his friends who watched the movie with him, "Rhine, this movie is good." I was watching the movie attentively, and when I heard Wright’s words, he nodded in agreement, "Harman was so handsome when he killed those infected zombies." "Yeah." Wright watched the movie as Harman was using a fire axe. Chopped off the neck of a zombie.

"After I go back, I must recommend it to the guy in Haast. Such a cool movie, that guy must like it very much." "Yeah" Rhein just kept agreeing, but his eyes didn't leave the big screen for half a step. . In other words, this was when they came home from school and saw the propaganda newspaper, and then they wanted to come over and try it. They didn't expect the movie to be so exciting.

After the movie, the two of them hitchhiked back to the community and walked inside together. They were still discussing the movie while they were walking. They didn't go far, and they saw several familiar figures playing basketball when they passed the basketball court.

"Hast, Rudel, we just watched a really cool movie. If you have time, you should also go and watch it. It's a great movie."

The two who were playing basketball stopped and walked over, "Did you just go to the movie?"

"Well, we watched a great movie in which humans will be infected and become zombies..." Barabara said a lot, and Wright was still a little bit unfinished.

"Really? What's the name, I'll see it tomorrow."

"The movie is called "Small Town Zombies". The protagonist kills the zombies. That is very powerful."

Several people talked, talked about the movie, and soon broke up.

This word of mouth also attracted another group of audiences to watch the movie in the theater.

On October 28th, Roman can already see some film critics commenting in the newspaper, most of which are mainly praise, and a small number of people are criticizing. Most of the praise is centered around the setting and flattering, not to mention that it must be the work of Emperor Gate Pictures, and the criticism is mostly that the film is too bloody, and it will only be nauseous to watch. Roman didn't care either. After all, the movie that was released on Halloween was not the only one of him. It touched other people's cakes, and don't think about other people's good words. Even Emperor Gate Pictures released "Scream 3" a week ago, let alone other people.

After a while, news came from Dimen Pictures. Yesterday’s box office statistics came out. The first day’s box office was 5.67 million US dollars. Roman was relieved to learn the news. For films like him, if there are no surprises, The box office in the next week will only be more than that on the first day. With this calculation, the cost of ticket production can definitely be recovered, but I don't know if it can make money, and Roman is still a little worried. He couldn't help but made a call to Lamy, "Lamy, urge Dimen Pictures to increase their efforts to invest in more publicity."

"Okay, Mr. Roman, I'll talk right away." Lamy put down the phone and immediately went to Emperor Gate Pictures. The first day's box office results made Lamy also a little excited. The co-producer on this film has his. first name.
