Chapter 1227

"I said, Director Fan, you haven't slept in the middle of the night?" Lin Xiao was also a little upset, no matter who was interrupted by a good thing, he probably wouldn't be happy.

Fan Wencheng over there was stunned when he heard the words, no, it's midnight on my side, and it's only noon on your side, why are you so angry?
"Ahem, Boss Lin, why are you so angry? Is it because I, Old Fan, disturbed you?" Fan Wencheng joked with a smile instead.

In the end, what he didn't know was that he was really hit by what he said.

"Okay, isn't Director Fan in North America? Isn't this time in the middle of the night?" Of course Lin Xiao would not admit it, but asked in reverse.

"Hey, I can't sleep." Fan Wencheng said with a wry smile.

"No, Director Fan, what do you mean you can't sleep and call me? It's easy to be misunderstood, okay?" Lin Xiao said teasingly.

Fan Wencheng was a little dumbfounded and said: "Well, I won't beat around the bush, let me just say it, hey, Mr. Lin, it's better to cooperate with you, coming to Hollywood, others are envious, I also regard it as a dream opportunity, but here it is Just know, it’s hard!”

"No, Director Fan, are you here to complain?" Lin Xiao smiled.

"Yeah, complaining, after I came, eh, I realized that this place is not the same as ours. There are a lot of grandparents and grandparents above, and whoever talks to me about Hollywood The film company is professional, I am anxious to him, this is so special, what is professional, this is complete nonsense." Fan Wencheng said in tears.

"What's going on? Can they still embarrass you? What makes you so pessimistic?" Lin Xiao was really curious.

He has also filmed in Hollywood, and he doesn't think there is any difference, oh, yes, you can't say that, that is, in Hollywood, you don't even think about working overtime, even if you pay them.

This is really very different from domestic ones.

On their side, when it's time to quit work, don't let them continue to work.

However, Lin Xiao has forgotten what kind of fame and identity he is. Although Fan Wencheng is very famous and has a high status in China, the crew is basically his voice, but when he is abroad, many people don't know him. who is it.

But he, Lin Xiao, is different. Many blockbuster films have been successful and he has become famous.

In addition, he is the boss of the company, a producer, a director, or a screenwriter, who dares to compare with him?
But Fan Wencheng is different. Although he also brought people there, his people also have a dark eye for Hollywood.

"You don't know, they actually want me to change "Space Rescue" into a heroine movie, saying that now that the feminist movement is on the rise, "Super Body" has driven the upsurge of heroine movies, but isn't this a mess? The preparations for the film are almost done, and the actors are almost finalized, but now they tell me that they want to change it into a heroine movie and let a woman save the world, I am speechless." Fan Wencheng said depressedly.

During this period of time, Fan Wencheng was about to explode. It can be said that everything was not going well, and there were problems with the preparations. Moreover, the crew did not accept him at all, which made Fan Wencheng a little anxious.

But the point is, he has not been able to find a solution so far.

"Old Fan, are you being bullied?" Lin Xiao gloated.

"Yeah, I was bullied. I'm not looking for Mr. Lin to learn from." Fan Wencheng could hear Lin Xiao's teasing that day, but he was not annoyed at all, and instead said bluntly.

"First of all, our situation is different. I am over there. I am an investor, a producer, and a director and screenwriter. So, in fact, it is not much different from that in China. However, I can give you some advice, of course. Whether it works or not, I haven't tried it, and I don't know." Lin Xiao said with a smile
"How can it not work? Tell me quickly, I'm so worried." Fan Wencheng said hastily.

"First of all, temporarily change the script and change the setting of the movie. You are the director. Although the power of directors in Hollywood is not that great, it is not that small. You don't have to listen to them. No matter what they say, you Show them the contract directly, and tell them everything is according to the contract." Lin Xiao said.

"But the contract didn't say that the script couldn't be changed?" Fan Wencheng asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, but it must be stated in the contract, your rights in the crew, they like to talk to people about the spirit of the contract, by the way, you don't have an agent in North America, right? Find one and let your agent go Talk, if you want to change it, there is no problem, you will pay liquidated damages directly, and whoever makes the movie will make it." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"What else? What if the people from the third-party guarantee company are always looking for trouble?" Fan Wencheng was also troubled by the people from the third-party guarantee company.I'm bored to death.

"This is easier, it's the same, find an agent, or directly find your producer, assistant director is also fine, let them talk to each other, you don't have to worry about it at all. You are the director, as long as you are responsible for making the movie well In fact, other things can be left to others to discuss, the so-called superiors work hard for others, and you can do everything yourself, how can you do it yourself." Lin Xiao came up with another idea.

"I found out that I'm a fucking fool!" Fan Wencheng was stunned when he heard this, and he was rushing to find trouble for himself.

"Actually, your biggest problem is that you don't have an agent. If you have an agent, you can hand over all these problems to him. They are very professional. You can save a lot of trouble by spending a little money. Also, lawyers have to Find one. In fact, if you don’t look for it, you will be in more trouble. Also, many things can be left to the producer. The producer has a lot of power, but the same goes for their producer. There are also many things, many things, you have to let others do the work, you are just a director, just do a good job as a director."

"Also, at Universal, you should express your dissatisfaction appropriately and let them restrain themselves. You just don't take yourself too seriously. You were invited by them to make a movie, not to be a servant. If you want to change the plot of the movie, you can change the plot of the movie, if you want to change the character design, you can change the character design, you just give them the guide tube and let them play." Lin Xiao was also a little speechless towards Fan Wencheng, but he can't blame him for that.

There is still a big difference between Hollywood and Huaguo. Huaguo is the director, while Hollywood is usually the producer’s responsibility, but the director is not so weak, especially Fan Wencheng seems to have no status in North America, but he is Universal invited the past, so it is obvious that the people of Universal think that he can still create value.

"As for the crew, don't worry about being countered by big-name actors. You are a director, so you have to be tough from the beginning. Others will think you are a small role, but you were paid a lot of money to hire you."
