Chapter 144 A Day in the Life of a Producer (Part 2)

Producer-centered system is the foundation for learning and understanding Hollywood.

In recent years, this term, which has been repeatedly mentioned in the domestic film industry, believes that this will be a good medicine to solve the current film market...

Yes, if you simply analyze the position of the producer, it is indeed a good medicine!

The producer-centered system starts from the audience's perspective to ensure higher film quality.

Commercial returns are the first criterion for producers, so in the process of project development, producers understand more about the certainty of the type, the market reaction of the actors, the commerciality of the film elements, emphasize more on visual and auditory feelings, and pay more attention to the logic and fluency of the story.

Everything the producers focus on is not based on personal aesthetic preferences, but entirely based on audience recognition, avoiding becoming a director's self-interested work.

Very good, and then the question comes: Why can't Jiang Wen's producer control him? Let him stop being happy?

In fact, when it comes to domestic producers, the most amazing one is not Chen Guofu or Chen Zhixi who has released some box office miracles such as "Lost in Thailand", "The Pancake Man", "Detective Chinatown", but Lu Jianmin!

A banned film like "Wushan**" can be sold by him for more than 500,000 DVDs and earning more than 6 million!

More than 20 underground works including "Growing Up", "Heart Heart", "Fish and Elephant", "Winter and Spring Days", "May Love" and "Blind Well" have all been sold out by him in a series of ways!

The most outrageous thing is "No. 32, Area B"…

More than 1 million yuan cost, more than 27 million yuan in box office sales!

27 times...

"Crazy Stone" is a big deal in front of him!

...

My young lady’s daily life is more about learning.

She would use the notebook to record a lot of things, open the notebook she carried with her, and it was densely packed, recording scenes, props, including extras’ pay and other things...

This is the most basic thing for an executive producer, which is to coordinate work!

For film projects, a good coordination is very important, which saves most of the producer's work...

"…I still can't figure out how this 20 million was spent?"

The young lady is consulting the leader of the production team, Chen Junke...

"…Demolition of the air conditioner and aging a whole building, and it will be restored later. 20 million is already a very conscientious price!"

"But, I calculated that there were 1,600 apartments we rented, the price was 200 yuan when we dismantled it, and the price was 40,000 yuan when we made it, and the price was 60,000 yuan when we reinstalled it..."

The young lady was serious about taking what she was investigating and counting it one by one...

"If you count like this..."

"No, I mean, we only need to give close-ups of 8 households to shoot, most of which only require outdoor scenes, and this special effect can be made... I don't understand why it cost 20 million!"

“…What do you mean?”

Chen Junke frowned.

"I just don't know why it costs 20 million... According to my calculations, it's up to 8 million!"

The young lady stared at Chen Junke, trying to see something from his eyes...

“…I will investigate it carefully!”

Chen Junke agreed casually.

"Okay, in two days, I will see the detailed bill. By the way, don't fool me, I have reported the whole thing to the company!"

After saying a word, the young lady turned around and walked towards the shooting scene.

Chen Junke scratched his head a little annoyed, and then called the project team...

It is normal and simple to cut money on the crew!

Not to mention anything else, the prop group will report dozens of boxes of light bulb money to get some kickbacks. The crew will lose it, but it will be him who makes the money!

Starting from "The Nine-Ranking Sesame Official", Xiaobai is concerned with efficiency in filming, and he is also acquaintances. Yes, the professional skills of old acquaintances are not to be chosen, but some people are really a bit too much in life!

"Tang Bohu's Tiger's Autumn Fragrance" is renovated in Washington. According to Xiaobai's estimate, it will be at most 15 million, and it will cost 22 million in the end. It may be because the prices are different...

Or the price of materials needed to be used for repairing old buildings is more expensive than ordinary materials.

However, these people must have lost money!

How much has it been black?

Xiaobai didn't check it, "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" made a big profit at the box office, and the crew members had a few million...

"The Dead Official", Xiaobai changed to a producer, and the entire drama cost 80 million, but it was not as high as "The Nine-Ranking Sesame Official"...

It’s time for "Kung Fu", the old price of a building is 20 million, and it is approved without blinking.

At least half of the black ones on the horse!

Treat Xiaobai as a rookie!

He was busy filming, and Xiaobai was too lazy to find trouble, so he called the young lady into the crew. Only his family would stand with you forever!

...

The young lady came to the set and was filming the plot of Feizai and Feilong trying to sneak attack the landlady.

Yang Lan has read the script and knows that this paragraph is very interesting. She sat on a chair and stared at the two people on the scene.

The camera is aimed at Bai Xiaofei and Fei Long.

Xiaobai's head emerged from behind the cage.

Squinted his eyes and stared at the Hong Gu not far away: "That fat woman screams like a pig, and she will die..."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Feilong, and educated him: "Learn to learn!"

He took out a dagger, took a deep breath, flew out hard, but hit the door lintel and bounced on his shoulder...

Of course it wasn't really inserted. The props came forward and inserted the prepared props on the clothes. Xiaobai leaned against the wall in pain...

Feilong: "Huh, why..."

"What's the reason? Come and throw it away!"

"Ah! I'll throw it?"

Feilong looked at the two flying knives in his hand a little timidly...

Xiaobai urged: "Hurry up!"

"oh…"

Feilong looked at Fei Po, threw a flying knife out, and inserted it into Xiaobai's other shoulder without bias...

Xiaobai is already in pain...

"Sorry, what do you think?"

"I think you can go a little further and aim a little more, okay?"

"oh…"

...

Feilong's image is actually not suitable for the original Fei Zaicong, his image is a bit too vulgar.

Not cute enough, not honest enough.

But he had to choose!

There are too few fat actors like him, and even fewer have a foundation in acting.

Just make do with it. As for the original Lin Zicong, without Stephen Chow's promotion, I don't know where it is now...

After filming this scene, it was a chase scene, and the landlady chased Feizai...

The main special effects are produced, but some shots still require real shots. People cannot run so fast and need a motorcycle.

There are two suggestions, one of which is the special effects actor riding a motorcycle, and later the head of Xiaobai and Honggu, just an expression is enough...

Another one is that Xiaobai will do it himself, but he can ride it slowly.

There is no doubt that Xiaobai and the others chose the first one!
