Chapter 143 A Day in the Life of a Producer (Part 1)
The four-eyed boy is Zhu Yilong.
Zhu Yilong is very popular in line with the rules of actors - the role brings the actors themselves!
Xiaobai admires him very much. Of course, he has terminated the contract with the original sand sculpture company and set up a personal studio. Otherwise, Xiaobai would not have allowed him to film "Frequent Invite Meals", "Nine-rank Sesame Official", and this time "Kung Fu"...
His current partner is Liu Chan. He was Xiao Ma Ben Teng’s agent and had a good relationship with Zhong Lifang!
Although the Four-Eyed Crazy is not the protagonist, it is an impressive character.
The camera was aimed at Bai Xiaofei and the fat dragon sitting next to him.
"Four-eyed boy, I recognize you!"
Zhu Yilong smiled gently and pushed the mirror frame: "It seems that this gentleman has a deep prejudice against people wearing glasses!"
"That's right, especially the gold-rimmed glasses. Swish... Swish..."
As he spoke, Xiaobai played snake fist...
Zhu Yilong stood up directly, slapped him in the face, grabbed his head and smashed it hard on the chair, and said aggrievedly: "As a clerk, I wear gold-rimmed glasses, which is normal and logical. I look good on it, why are you targeting me?"
Xiaobai spoke to the fat dragon next to him in pain: "Help...help!"
Fei Long immediately changed his face: "Yeah, uh...woo!"
Zhu Yilong took out his left hand and grabbed someone else's head, and smashed it hard on the chair again...
"Help, right? A gangster, right? A dragon-shaped, right? A tiger-shaped, right..."
"Click!"
Huang Liang smiled comfortably and left his head away from the monitor with satisfaction.
"...You are so cruel, my neck!"
Xiaobai couldn't help but complain, and Feilong also muttered: "It's a bit too much!"
"Sorry, I..."
Zhu Yilong quickly apologized.
"It's okay, you've tried hard, we don't need to do it again..."
Xiaobai smiled and comforted her, twisting her neck in secret...
...
Currently in the country, most movies are in the core system of directors, and a small number of producers or producers are in the core system.
Film producers are more about controlling costs and coordinating overall resources.
The producers only have macro control over the director's creation and content and rarely directly intervene.
In fact, many film producers’ work is limited to the budget before shooting, accounting and distribution after shooting. The real shooting, the producers are not even allowed to take the scene!
Very normal phenomenon.
The director is the main creator of a movie, the screenwriter, actor, photography, editing and other division of labor are all for his creation!
For screenwriters, the director must review the feasibility and coherence of the plot written by the screenwriter, transform it into a picture-like narrative composition, and then determine whether the lines written by the screenwriter meet the needs of the characters and plots. Most directors will personally modify the specific lines on the set!
This is not very suitable for Xiaobai. His movies are basically written by himself, and there are few temporary changes in lines.
In terms of photography, the director provides specific requirements such as storyboard composition, scene requirements, lens length, etc., and then the photography guide and handheld photography will take the camera to shoot the entire scene or the entire lens required by the director. Of course, there are also directors from photography such as Zhang Yimou who occasionally take the camera personally, while most directors will only stay in front of the monitor to watch the shooting effect.
Most directors only direct and not shoot, especially those who cross industry...
Let’s leave professional photography to professional photographers!
For actors, directors want to talk about the play and explain what emotions, eyes, expressions, and tone the actors use in the next scene or shot to perform. Most directors will make clear performance requirements or tell the actors the true status of the role.
There are also directors who are born as actors. Jiang Wen said that he would not put forward a lot of rules and regulations, but instead gave it to the actor himself and let him play...
Let’s talk about the producer!
In fact, the producer that exists in the Hong Kong industrial system is very close to the concept of producers we are talking about now. That is to say, he must not only know creation, but also have creative experience, but also know financial control and business operations. The most important thing is that he should be the original initiator of a play as the starting operation of a commercial project!
In Hollywood, people who can serve as producers generally have their own production companies or have certain fixed cooperative relationships with the six major studios.
In the field of commercial production, which is a blockbuster that judges heroes by box office, the power of the real big-name producer is second only to the chairman of the studio, far exceeding that of the vast majority of directors and actors.
Of course, there are very few producers in China with this quality!
Chen Guofu is one of the most professionals!
At this stage, most producers actually pay for the money, and they are also called producers!
In fact, the biggest cancer in the industry is that the producers do not count the money and wait for the return, but participate in specific projects.
Yang Lan held such a position on the crew of "Kung Fu"...
...
"Kung Fu" invested 400 million yuan, and the largest investor is of course Horgos Kung Fu Pictures, with an investment of 200 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the investment amount. Penguin Pictures invested 180 million yuan, accounting for 45% of the remaining 20 million yuan, Zhong Lifang, Chen Baolian and Yang Lan claimed...
At the same time, Yang Lan will also participate in the operation of "Kung Fu" as a producer...
Of course, she is the assistant, and the real producer is Chang Bin, who is also the vice president of Penguin Pictures.
"Trumen's World" is produced by him!
Producers generally refer to film and television drama producers.
Fully responsible for script coordination, preliminary preparation, formation of film crews, cast and crew members and film equipment contract signing, filming cost accounting, financial review; execution of filming and production, post-production; assisting investors in domestic, foreign issuance and domestic and foreign awards.
The young lady is just here and needs to learn in many aspects. She has also adjusted her mindset and focuses on learning!
To be honest, Xiaobai’s movies are the most worry-free type. He rarely does things that exceed the budget. The only time he thought the producer had to catch up with the progress...
He prefers shooting according to the plan, that is, shooting step by step according to the shooting schedule...
Xiaobai's team is mature enough. The audience meeting coordinates the actors' schedule three days in advance. The deputy director will also arrange the actors in advance and move them. Most of the filming, the director is invisible and cannot use him at all, let alone the producer!
So, it was embarrassing for the young lady to stay on the crew of "Kung Fu"...
The producers only care about the accounts and control the budget, but the novice is not the kind of director who loses his rationality once he enters the shooting state. He knows how to control the budget very well.
Things that can be done with two million will never cost an extra dollar!
He is an executive director himself and knows everything about the crew. Therefore, starting from "Riding the Wind and Waves", his movies, often directors and producers, are himself!
