After all, a good script comes only once in a thousand years. If you are idle, you will be idle. With plenty of money in hand, it is not bad to be a producer.

Especially in Hollywood, a producer is a very sacred title full of responsibility. It is a combination of entrepreneurs and artists, and it is the mainstay to ensure the accumulation of the film industry and art.

Known as the director behind the director!
In the past few years, I have seen many so-called gold medal producers. They are not only producers, but in Ding Cheng's view, they are also old drivers, big fools, misers, chatterboxes, litigators and money fans...

To put it bluntly, a person can do anything.

Can find good stories, subdue director Niu, and control the entire creative chain, production chain and sales chain.For example, Bruckheimer became the first pure producer to win the American Film Art Achievement Award in 27 years because of this last year.

The box office has set a total of over 160 billion US dollars worldwide, including "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "National Treasure" series, "Pearl Harbor", "National Enemy", "Prison in the Sky"...

He has also created more than ten series of web dramas, including the long-running "Crime Scene Investigation" series.

As a producer, his level of involvement in the film would probably make the so-called producers in China feel ashamed.Participate in general planning, selecting actors, reading scripts, writing instructions, watching clips, making music, and reading daily diaries every day.

Supervise every shot on the set and control every creative link; spare no effort in the distribution, promotion and marketing of films; use your own knowledge and experience to make accurate judgments and decisions on the market...

There is a saying in Hollywood:

If you win Jerry, you win the world!

Don’t believe in evil, “Jedi Boys”, “The Brave Island”, “The End of the World” and “Pearl Harbor” produced by Michael Bay were all smashing the box office. Only in 05, Michael Bay abandoned Jay Rui, worked alone with DreamWorks on "Escape from Clone Island", but lost all his pants.

For a long time, no one dared to touch dirty and messy pirate movies, and people spent a lot of money to revive out-of-the-ordinary themes. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series made the half-popular sissy captain Depp explode in popularity for ten years.

With sharp eyesight, not only can you see extremely far, but you can also discover things that others have not discovered, and see realms that others have not seen.

Ding Cheng believes that a good producer must have such a unique vision and broad vision. He must understand and control the market, and learn to discover good scripts and new projects. This is the foundation of his life.

For example, David Heyman, a high-achieving student at Harvard, started out by making independent films. In 99, he obtained the film adaptation rights of "Harry Potter". It set off a 76-year magic boom all over the world.

In the gap between the production of "Harry Potter", I also did not forget to participate in harvesting the last light of Jim Carrey's golden age "Mr.

The 13D science fiction film "Gravity" produced in 3 not only swept seven Oscars, but was also popular among science fiction fans, with a global box office of more than 7.16 million US dollars.

He is also the only lucky one among the top ten gold medal producers who has not been cheated.

Not afraid of raw and cold food, resistant to heat and cold, not able to avoid water and fire, pain and itching in both stools.Producers must also have strong patience and determination, be able to withstand beatings and loneliness, and have a stronger heart than anyone else in the crew.

Take Joe Silver, for example, one of the main driving forces behind the explosive era of Hollywood movies.Famous movies produced by him include "Die Hard", "Lethal Weapon" series, "The Matrix" series, and Downey's version of "Sherlock Holmes" series.

Action movie stars who have collaborated with him include Gibson, Bruce Willis, Stallone, Lee Cheng Kit, Schwarzenegger...

The most amazing thing is that he himself is also a person who can fight and carry, and he is still strong after several ups and downs.

These are basic operations. A good producer must be a veteran driver who is proficient in Hollywood. Not only car skills, but also various hobbies. test.

For example, Anon, known as the most mysterious producer in Hollywood and a powerful billionaire, once represented Israel and ran 17 companies in 30 countries.

The film career began at a dinner party - the other two participants were classic producer Eliot Kastner and big star Elizabeth Taylor.Milchan was persuaded by two seniors who had been immersed in Vanity Fair for many years to provide financial guarantee for the completion of "Masada", a TV series with a Jewish background.

Milkan said in his memories many years later: "It seemed like spending money to buy yourself humiliation and becoming another in this industry, but I voluntarily joined it and wanted to join this game called survival. in the game."

This is where he got started, but this big guy was lucky. His first work to enter the American film industry was "The King of Comedy" directed by Martin Scorsese. In the third year, he produced the film history classic "Once Upon a Time in America".

From "My Fair Lady" and "The Mambo King" that created the craze in the 90s, to the highly praised "Fight Club", "The Wire" and "L.A. Confidential" in the mid-90s, to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" after the millennium. , "Fantastic Mr. Fox", etc., and then the latest "12 Years a Slave"...

Everything is inseparable from a strong circle of friends. Extraordinary wealth, outstanding taste, excellent business vision and outstanding personality charm are just the foundation.

And the same life interests are the real bond: night after night of dinners, parties and nightclubs, Milkan has a close relationship with friends in the circle.

He even publicly admitted on television that he had been recruited as a spy and completed dozens of secret missions for Israel.

Knowing everything and understanding everything, such a person is simply an old driver among old drivers.

Of course, finding money and publishing films are the two core tasks of a producer. You must be proficient in various financing channels and methods, lobby investors and convince them that you are planning to make a film with good box office and huge returns.

And starting at about the same time, the producers have to work hard on publicity and distribution to make the film popular and sell it at a good price.

The three most basic financing models for Hollywood movies include: loan financing, tax financing and ordinary financing on behalf of some individual investors.In addition, private equity funds, overseas pre-sales, product placement, etc. are all effective ways to raise funds and reduce costs.

Gold medal producers are all masters in this aspect, otherwise they would not be able to produce so many movies and win such high box office.

Publicity and promotion are their specialties.According to the American Film Institute, China may surpass the United States to become the largest film market in 20 years.

Nowadays, Hollywood blockbusters are prepared with a red heart and two hands.In order to compete for domestic audiences, they continue to invite celebrities to participate in blockbuster films, continue to choose to shoot scenes in the mainland, co-produce various blockbusters, and even produce double versions to provide so-called special offers to please the audience.

This is no longer an individual fool, but a collective fool!

The weirdest thing is Scott Rudin, a veteran comrade for many years. He once fired 6 assistants in 250 years. He was likened to a tyrant by the media and the industry. He won the four highest awards in the American literary and art world: Oscar, Emmy, Tony and Grammy. One of the 14 people honored.

The films produced have received more than 150 Oscar nominations and more than a dozen statuettes. Representative works include "The Truman Show", "No Country for Old Men", "The Social Network", "There Will Be Blood", "The Hours", "The Queen" ...

This kind of person can survive in Hollywood mainly by striving for excellence.He will do whatever it takes to make the ideas in his head come true, and he will read more than nine scripts every week, so that he is more active in making changes to each movie script than the screenwriter.

Even if he is not a director, he always tries to pursue the true meaning of life from movies; he always creates works with the highest standards, and it is difficult for people around him to follow in his footsteps.

The Truman Show back then was a typical example.The budget of the film easily exceeded 6000 million US dollars. In order to finally achieve the effect Rudin expected, Paramount contacted many famous directors such as Spielberg, Tim Burton and Terry Gilliam, but failed, and finally chose Peter Wheeler.

As for the starring role, Jim Carrey was set early in the morning, and even in order to wait for his schedule, the filming cycle was postponed for a full two years.
