After all, a good script is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and being idle is also idle, and what you have in your hand is money, and it's not bad to be a producer.

Especially in Hollywood, producer is a very sacred, responsible title, a combination of entrepreneur and artist, and the mainstay of the film industry and artistic accumulation.

The director behind the director!

In recent years, I have also seen many so-called gold medal producers, who are not only makers, but also old drivers, big fools, misers, chatters, litigants and money fans in Ding Cheng's opinion......

To put it bluntly, one person can do anything.

You can find a good story, 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 Arts Achievement Award in 27 years last year.

It grossed more than $16 billion worldwide, including the Pirates of the Caribbean series, National Treasure, Pearl Harbor, Enemy of the Nation, and Prison in the Air......

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

As a producer, his involvement in the film is so deep that I am afraid that the so-called domestic producers are embarrassed. Participate in the general planning, select actors, read scripts, write instructions, watch clips, make music, and read daily logs.

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

There is a saying in Hollywood:

Gotta Jerry win the world!

Don't believe in evil, "Jedi Men", "Brave Island", "The End of the World", and "Pearl Harbor" supervised by Michael Bay were crazy at the box office, but in 05, Michael Bay put aside Jerry and worked alone with DreamWorks to "Escape from Clone Island", and the pants lost were gone.

No one dared to touch the dirty and messy pirate movies for a long time, and people spent a lot of money to revive the cold theme, and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series prompted Depp, the half-popular sissy captain Depp, to become popular for ten years in one go.

With a keen eye, he can not only see very far, but also be able to find things that others have not discovered, and see the realm that others have not seen.

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

For example, David Heyman, a top student at Harvard, started by shooting independent films, obtained the film adaptation rights of "Harry Potter" in 99, and successively made eight films, setting the highest box office record for a series of films with a total income of more than 7.6 billion US dollars, setting off a 10-year magic boom around the world.

In between the production of "Harry Potter", he did not forget to participate in the harvest of the last light of Jim Carrey's golden age, "Yes Man", and the masterpiece "I Am Legend", which was the golden period of history.

The 3D sci-fi film "Gravity", which was produced in 13 years, not only swept seven Oscars, but also became popular with sci-fi fans, grossing more than $716 million worldwide.

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

It is not taboo to be cold, it is heat-resistant and cold-resistant, it is not avoided by water and fire, and it is painful and itchy. The producer also needs to have strong patience and determination, even withstand beatings, endure loneliness, and have a stronger heart than anyone in the crew.

For example, Jossilva, one of the main promoters of Hollywood movies entering the era of explosion. Notable films produced by him include the Die Hard, Lethal Weapons series, The Matrix series, Downey's version of the Sherlock Holmes series.

He has worked with action movie superstars such as Gibson, Bruce Willis, Stallone, Lee Sung-jie, Schwarzenegger, ......

The most awesome thing is that he is also a person who can fight and carry, with a few ups and downs, but he is still strong.

These are all basic operations, a good producer must be a veteran driver who is proficient in Hollywood, not only driving skills, but also all kinds of hobbies, all three religions and nine streams must be known, where there are cheap rentals, massages, hotels, etc., must not be drunk in a thousand glasses, alcohol test.

Arnolde, for example, is known as Hollywood's most mysterious producer and powerful billionaire, who once ran 30 companies in 17 countries on behalf of Israel.

His film career began at a dinner – the other two participants were classic producer Iliot Castena and big star Elizabeth Taylor. Milkan was lured by two Vanity Fair veterans to finance the completion of a Jewish-set TV series, Masada.

Milkan recalled years later: "It seemed like spending money to humiliate myself and become another big wrongdoer in the industry, but I volunteered to be with it and wanted to be a part of this game called survival." ”

entered the industry, but the luck of this wronged boss is really good, and the first work to enter the American film industry is "The King of Comedy" directed by Martin Scorsese, and the film history classic "Once Upon a Time in America" was produced in the third year.

"My Fair Lady" and "The King of Mambo", which created a craze in the 90s, to the highly regarded "Fight Club", "The Line of Fire" and "L.A. Confidential" in the mid-90s, to "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "The Marvelous Mr. Fox" after the turn of the millennium, and the latest "12 Years a Slave......

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

And the same life interests are the real bond: the constant nights of dinners, parties and nightclubs keep Milkan close to his friends.

He even openly admitted on television that he had been recruited as a spy to complete dozens of secret missions for Israel.

You have to know everything, you have to understand everything, such a person is simply an old driver among old drivers.

Of course, finding money and distributing the film are the two core tasks of the producer, and you must be proficient in various financing channels and methods, lobbying investors and convincing them that you are planning to make a film that will pay off well at the box office.

And at about the same time, the producer had to make efforts in publicity and distribution, hype the film, and sell it at a good price.

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

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

Publicity and promotion are their forte. According to the Motion Picture Association of America, China may surpass the United States as the largest film market in 20 years.

Nowadays, Hollywood blockbusters are all with a red heart, ready with both hands. In order to compete for domestic audiences, he constantly invited celebrities to make soy sauce in blockbusters, constantly chose to shoot in the mainland, co-produced blockbusters, and even produced double versions to engage in so-called special offerings to please the audience.

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

The most bizarre thing is Scott Rudin, a veteran comrade for many years, who fired 250 assistants in 6 years, and was likened to a tyrant by the media and the industry, one of the 14 people who won the Oscars, Emmys, Tony and Grammys, the four highest honors in the American literary and artistic world.

His films have received more than 150 Oscar nominations and more than a dozen statuettes, including "Truman's World", "No Country for Old Men", "The Social Network", "Blood is Coming", "All the Time", "The Queen" and ......

This kind of person can stand tall in Hollywood, mainly by striving for excellence. He will do whatever it takes to make his ideas come true, and he reads more than nine scripts a week, so much so that he is more active at changing the scripts of each movie than the screenwriters.

Even though he is not a director, he always tries to pursue the true meaning of life from film, and always creates works to the highest standards, and it is difficult for those around him to follow his footsteps again and again.

Truman's world back then was a typical example. The budget of the film easily exceeded 60 million US dollars, and Paramount contacted Spielberg, Tim Burton and Terry Gilrim and many other famous directors in order to finally achieve the effect that Rudin expected, but they were unsuccessful, and finally chose Peter Wheeler.

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