Chapter 475 Fundamental Difference
Must be talkative.Able to speak loudly, and can speak for more than 4 hours at a time.Otherwise, how can you fool investors, persuade directors and actors, and command a large group of people to follow you?
Must be a litigator.Make a plan in the early stage, solve all the things that do not go according to plan in the middle stage, and fight and fight lawsuits in the later stage-know the relevant laws and understand all irrelevant laws.

Must be a money fan.Not only will you ask for money, but you will also have to spend it.It is necessary to have a strong financial ability to spend the money that should be spent and the province of the province. You must know the proportion of funds allocated to directors, photographers, lights, beauty, clothing, chemicals, and roads, and even how much a screw costs.

This is the biggest challenge for me in the future!
Competition in the film industry is between producers, not directors and directors, actors and actors.The root of the problems of Huaxia films may lie in the lack of excellent producers with strong professional qualities.

If Huaxia film producers do not meet the professional qualities of Hollywood producers, and only position themselves as managers, limited to financing and raising money, or as accountants who manage money, Huaxia Film and Hollywood will never be rivals in the contest .

Many Chinese producers are close to the director, relying on the director, relying on the director, obsessed with the director, and even completely excluded by the director, such as Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou, Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang, Han Sanping and Chen Kaige.

This kind of practice of a director raising a production company abounds in China. If the director leaves, the company will immediately go bankrupt.It is also a kind of sadness for the producer to do this.

Even many Chinese producers don't even read the script!
Even if you read it, you can't tell whether the script is good or bad, whether it is professional or not.

Spielberg must read a script every night before going to bed. After reading "American Beauty", he summoned the screenwriter and director the next day. The first sentence was that the script should not be changed. This movie will become an American movie. A classic film of all time.

Such a script is placed on the table of some Chinese producers, and the dust must be so thick!
Even the producer lacks independent judgment on the skill, quality and expertise of the director, the potential of the script, the quality of the film and the prospect of the film.

Such producers abound and are known as movie stars.This kind of unrestrained crazy hype just reveals a kind of lack of self-confidence;

In the final analysis, most of them are fanciers, at most they are money-losers, who vote for one film in a year or two, and consider themselves a big producer. They want to compete with Hollywood, and they want to build a Chinese movie carrier?
Think of yourself as a manager, an administrator, a person serving the director, not the creator.

Whether the film is good or bad, the director's direction is good or bad, the artistic quality and technical quality of the film are good or bad, I don't know at all in my mind, and the film creation is entirely the director's business.

Didn't even know the Oscar for Best Picture went to the producer, thought it went to the director.This award is to reward the vision, insight and courage of the producer, and under the leadership of the producer's organization, the words are turned into images, and an outstanding film is produced.

Film is for the producer, art is for the director.Many Chinese producers feel unbalanced, thinking that they are only serving the director, and that the director and actors take up the honor of a film.

In addition, he has no sense of innovation, blindly imitating others, and swarming with popular themes. Today, his martial arts movie is a success, and he won an Oscar, so he will also come to a martial arts movie.Tomorrow, when their magic movie became popular, he immediately followed up the magic, swarming, always running behind other people's buttocks.

In the domestic film industry, most of the investors do not have professional film and television professionalism, intuitively they are more willing to choose to trust a director rather than a producer.
Actors are more willing to cooperate with directors than producers; screenwriters are more willing to communicate with directors than producers.The result of this is that directors are more trusted by creators, actors, and funds than producers.

Such distrust also leads to the inability to fully utilize and exercise the abilities of domestic producers, leaving them with no room for effective growth.Producers who cannot continue to grow will find it even more difficult to gain trust. The vicious cycle formed in this way has led to objective difficulties for domestic producers to improve their strength.

The producer-centered system in Hollywood in the United States has a long history, and it is powerful.Centralize the core control of the project in the hands of the producer, fully implement the marketing strategy and teamwork principles in the film production process, and maximize the commercial value of the film through rigorous research and scientific production process mechanism.

In this mode, the art director and photography director cooperate with the director to form the core artistic creation team.The executive producer and production director serve the producer and constitute the main management team.After the management lines of the two teams cross, such a matrix structure is formed.

The main purpose of this structure is to seek a balance between artistic creation and market demand, and to complete the production according to the budget and standards jointly established by the two core teams, reducing the risks caused by excessive concentration of power.

Theoretically speaking, the producer-centered system is more conducive to the interests of investors, and can better ensure that the budget of the film is reasonable and the shooting cycle is not exceeded.And liberate the director from daily creative affairs and concentrate on creation.And the producer can also start from the overall situation and formulate a unified overall strategy for project development, production, marketing, distribution, overseas, and brand continuation.

Most movies today are made by independent filmmakers, either for direct release or under film production contracts with major corporations.It is under such a systematic system that the growth and inheritance of filmmakers form a traceable route.

Nowadays, many well-known Hollywood filmmakers mostly serve as film producers, directors and even screenwriters at the same time.Filmmakers continue to introduce innovations and styles that shape the films audiences see today.

For example, Spielberg relies on strong ideas, music and special effects to create some popular, suspenseful movies, such as "Jaws", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Jurassic Park".

George Lucas combines a fictional story of science fiction and computerized special effects with Star Wars and its sequels.

Spike Lee has written, directed, produced and edited his own writing, directing, producing and editing work to illustrate the sometimes controversial experience of African-Americans in films such as "High School" and "Jungle Fever."

These filmmakers bring their own perspectives and special talents to the filmmaking process and learn from each other.Facts have proved that the unique producer-centric system in the United States provides sufficient objective conditions for the inheritance and growth of producer skills and work.

From Ding Cheng's point of view, technically speaking, film producers don't seem to need any training.But filmmaking is like any other business, if you're going to take the job, you first need to know it, you have to be familiar with all aspects of filmmaking and be very skilled at some.

In other words, whether you are a screenwriter, writer, editor, or cameraman, as long as you are willing to learn, you can become a strong producer.

Producers pay more attention to commercial returns, so in the development process of the project, they will pay more attention to the certainty of the genre, the market response of the actor combination, the commerciality of film elements, more emphasis on visual and auditory experience, and more emphasis on the logic and nature of the story. The narration is smooth.

Everything the producers pay attention to is not out of personal aesthetic preferences, but in consideration of what kind of film the audience wants to see.Such a film has a better basis for being recognized by the audience, and avoids becoming a self-proclaimed work of a certain person.
