Legendary Hollywood Producer

On May 5, the weather was good today, and Roman was discussing the details of his salary with the chef Huang Deshan who met yesterday.

"This is a contract." Roman took out a contract from the study and handed it to Chef Huang. Chef Huang glanced at his salary. The annual salary was 150,000, which was a very good price. Then he handed the contract to a lawyer next to him, and asked the lawyer to see where the regulations were unclear.

After receiving the contract, the lawyer checked the terms very carefully. After a while, he nodded to Huang Deshan and said, "No problem."

After seeing the lawyer's statement, Roman asked, "So, Chef Huang, are you satisfied with the salary?"

"Satisfied, I can sign now." Huang Deshan took the pen and signed his name. This salary is much better than his previous salary. As long as Roman cooks when he is at home, the housekeeper will tell him in advance that he doesn’t need to cook, and he can take 4 days off every month. Explain to the housekeeper that Huang Deshan is very satisfied anyway.

The housekeeper made the negotiation this morning. He is responsible for the daily maintenance of the villa for USD 10,000 per month. The housekeeping company is invited to do meticulous maintenance once a week.

After finishing his daily life, Roman went back to the bedroom to study some of the operation cases of Hollywood movies. The way that the six major Hollywood film companies produced or distributed and operated films benefited Roman a lot, such as selling a big-selling movie. In movies, profits can be made at a loss. It is really very clever. Compared with these people, Roman is still a rookie, and he deeply realizes his shortcomings.

......

The time came to mid-July. When Roman went to the crew to check the progress as usual, director Joe Detdoubar told him that he could find the post-production staff first. If he couldn't find the right one, director Joe Detdou Ba euphemistically told Roman that he could do any post-editing and ensure that he can cut a film that satisfies Romans. This is what he said.

"Roman, have you found a suitable editor? Of course, the soundtrack work cannot be less." Director Joe Det Durbar came over and said to Romain.

"Not yet, but I have already contacted some people." Roman told the truth. When he learned that the film was about to finish shooting, he contacted the post-production teams, but it was obviously not up to the requirements. It's not that their standard is not enough, but the price is too high. The lowest team that contracted the post-production soundtrack and editing cost $150,000. Although the late soundtrack and editing are also factors that determine the success of a film, the asking price is still too expensive. Roman wants to save a little money. The film is already close to 5 million in shooting, mainly because there is a lot of waste. The shots, coupled with a little bit of tricks in the daily operation of the set. (Roman also fired several crew members for this reason) So naturally there is no budget for post-production.

"Not yet?" Joe Det Durbar pretended to be embarrassed. After a while, he suggested, "I know a few friends who can make soundtracks. I can help you ask their opinions."

"Okay, thank you, Joe." Roman was also relieved when he heard that Joe Det Durbar was willing to help him find a late-stage soundtrack. The teams that he had contacted these days had a higher price than one.

"However, in terms of editing, they are not very good." Joe Det Durbar spoke again and again, and finally couldn't help but say it. "I would rather edit the film, Mr. Roman, if you agree, I don't have to. Salary, do it for free.” Joe Det Durbar finally expressed his thoughts. He was reluctant to hand over the first film in his life to others to edit. The thought and expression of this film, He wants to do it himself. In fact, even if Roman found a suitable candidate, he was determined to get involved, but at that time he could only watch from the sidelines. Fortunately, Roman did not find a suitable editor.

After listening to director Joe Det Durbar's words, Roman is also thinking about whether this matter is feasible. Although most of the Hollywood movies are being filmed, and the post-production after the subsequent filming is completed, there are basically two different things. Few directors can participate in the editing of the film. Even those first-line directors do not have complete film editing rights. At most, they will give you a chance for the first cut. As for the final edited version, don't even think about it. This is also the reason why Hollywood is a producer-centric system, because the director has the final say on how to cut a film after the director has finished shooting. As for whether the director's ideal effect is cut, who cares. If the movie fails, then the director will have to back up, and it may still be the biggest one. The reason is that everyone is very clear. For example, the directors are too bad, and the directors have no aesthetics at all and make such bad films. Anyway, if you fail, you have to bear it. As for whether the director has participated in the post-editing of the film, it doesn't matter.

After thinking for a while, Roman felt that he could still agree. In case of director Joe Det Durbar’s cut, Roman felt unsatisfactory, so he would find a professional to edit again. The time is still ample anyway. I hope director Joe can restrain it. Own, don't cut it in a mess, otherwise you will spend a fortune on Roman's own small vault.

"I promised you, but every time you finish cutting a page, you need to notify me and let me check it again. If there is something wrong, and you did not meet my requirements, then..." Don't blame me for kicking you out, Roman thought to himself.

"Don't worry, Mr. Roman, I can definitely do it well." Joe Det Durbar is very happy, and it is certainly a very happy thing to be able to edit the film by himself.

"Then, I'll go first, and remember to inform your friends to come over tomorrow and discuss it."

"Don't worry, Roman, they will arrive tomorrow."

Hearing this, Roman left in peace.

When Roman returned home, he first asked the butler to help him put water in the bathtub. After the water was ready, he lay down with a newspaper in his hand. The warm water soaked the body, making Roman feel very comfortable.

After taking a bath, take a shower. Roman walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, poured himself a cup of coffee, came to the balcony, lay on a chair, and looked at the tall buildings in the distance. This is life.

After lying down for a while, sleepiness surged up, Roman stood up and returned to the bedroom, slowly falling asleep. In his dream, Roman seems to have seen his movie box office soaring, making him a lot of money. He takes the money, buys a car, buys a house, buys...
