The scale of the film's release is also very small, only shown in 18 theaters in Brazil, three 40 yuan screens.

Three days before the release, the income was less than 10 reais, but the word-of-mouth in the newspapers was very high. Many old critics stood up and praised Babenque, thinking that this is a very meaningful movie and a classic. It must be his representative work.

Rocca doesn't have much hope for the movie at the box office, and he's targeting a videotape release.

On the second day after the film was released, Roca left Brazil and came to Los Angeles. He found several distribution companies with the film, Universal Home Entertainment, Disney Production, and Sony Production.

After watching the movie, several companies are willing to release the movie, but there was a dispute over the share.

Distributing videotapes is similar to distributing videotapes. Distributors and distributors are more than 90% divided, and content providers are only a few percent. If it is a popular movie, the share will be higher.

"This Man" was not released in theaters, and there were no famous actors. Several distribution companies were only willing to give him a 3% share. Sony Production and Distribution Company was more direct and willing to buy out the movie with 50 yuan.

Roca refused without hesitation. It would be better to choose 3% of the share. If the video tape can sell 3.5 million, he can get about 1000 million.

When he was in a dilemma, director Billy brought the general manager of a company to talk about the distribution of the film.

Billy used to make video tapes and is very familiar with this area. The general manager of this company knew about Billy's relationship with him and asked Billy for an introduction.

"Rocca, this is Mr. Glen Gaynor of Anchor Cove Productions!"

Billy introduced.

"Hi Mr. Gaynor!"

Anchor Bay Entertainment ranks among the top ten independent film companies in Hollywood. It specializes in the distribution of horror videos, and its masterpiece "The Walking Dead".

"Hi Mr. Kelly!"

The two didn't talk too much after meeting, and directly talked about the discovery of the movie. Anchor Bay Entertainment hoped to get the distribution rights of the movie video, and his condition was slightly higher by 5%.

But Roca still wanted to fight for a little more, and finally he proposed a gambling agreement.

If the sales volume is less than 5000 million, he does not want a share of 1 dollar, and if the sales volume exceeds 5000 million, he wants 5%.

After that, for every 5000 million increase, his share will increase by 5%.

But the other party refused.

Gaynor proposed another VAM agreement. If the sales amount is less than 2 million, he will get 3%, and if the sales exceed 2 million, he will get 15%.

After discussing for a long time, more than 20 million, he talked about [-]%.

Two days later, the lawyers of both parties signed the contract and formally reached an agreement.

"Roca, is there an investment of 1 U.S. dollars for this movie? You still want to sell [-] million dollars. You are dreaming!"

Billy complained afterwards.

"Dreams still have to be done, what if they come true?"

Rocca smiled, put down his coffee and asked, "What have you been doing lately? Has the movie started yet?"

"No, casting is in progress, how about you?"

Billy sipped his coffee and said.

"I'm about to join the crew too, and the crew is in northern Minnesota"

"Minnesota? Still in the north? Haha, it's cold there at this time, with an average temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius"

"Yes, I don't even want to go"

Roca leaned on the sofa, looking at the warm sunshine outside the window, he couldn't help hugging his arms.

Ms. Theron smiled lightly, "When will you go to Minnesota, is there any notice from the crew?"

"Yes, tomorrow's flight, is it cold in Minnesota? I heard it's very cold there at this time"

"Ha~ You will know when you go, there will be surprises"
