Chapter 239: Director-Centered System

The development of the domestic film and television industry, even after ten years, with a large amount of capital involvement, still does not have many outstanding film works. Although those filmmakers have always shirked the blame, saying that they are "dancing in shackles", it seems that all the blame is on optoelectronics. But after learning more about the market economy, Zhou Shi had too many doubts about what they said.

A movie is a commodity, and in this market, any quality product can blow bubbles and blow a high price one by one. If you don't care, you can make a lot of money by making bad movies, so why bother making movies with your heart? Intentions will inevitably mean an increase in costs, and if the cost increases, the risks will increase accordingly, so why bother!

Officially, because of these understandings, Zhou Shi does not have much respect for domestic filmmakers, and his speech is a bit aggressive. And he felt that Zhang Zhao was starting to swell a little, and Zhou Shi was still angry at this time, which made it even more difficult for him to compromise.

Although Zhang Zhao was haha and wanted to skip this section, Zhou Shi had already made up his mind. Once again, after three years, equity incentives will be restarted according to their respective contributions. And the next action is to refine the contribution system and guide the future equity incentive.

At this time, the animation CG special effects and screenwriting department finally couldn't wait to stand up and support Zhou Shi, and other distribution and publicity departments also stood up one after another. Zhou Shi's uncompromising and tough made some diehards bow their heads. Zhou Shi was also glad that the company was established not long ago, and these people obviously did not control the company, and he would not give these people more opportunities.

Zhou Shi gave producers and screenwriters more rights, which is nothing more than wanting to break the domestic director-centric system and gradually move towards the producer-centric system of Hollywood. Although Zhou Shi has no experience in the film and television industry, his long-term experience in the financial industry has made him know the significance of risk control. The director-centered system, which has almost no risk control, can prevail when the domestic risk awareness is not sound, and this is a backward system that will inevitably be eliminated.

Due to the historical reasons of the film market in China, as long as the artistic creation of a film meets certain requirements, and at the same time takes into account the coherence of the image narrative, the income can be basically guaranteed. Affected by this, in the past ten years, domestic films usually have strong personal attributes of the director, and the director has firmly controlled every process of film production, forming the so-called "director-centered system".

The producer-centric system is a matrix structure with two lines intersecting: the art director and the director of photography cooperate with the director to form the core of the artistic creation team. Executive Producers and Production Directors serve the producers and form the main management team. After the two teams' management lines crossed, the two core teams worked together to establish budgets and standards for the film. This two-pronged management structure reduces the risk of excessive concentration of power and balances artistic creation with market demand.

It is difficult to say which of these two systems is necessarily better than the other, and in Hollywood, where producer-centric systems prevail, the rights of well-known directors often exceed those of domestic directors who practice director-centric systems. In the final analysis, it is still necessary to rely on performance to speak, which is like many super salesmen of small and medium-sized companies will also let the boss break all the rules and regulations of the company, and they will arrive late and leave early......

The significance of the producer-centric system is not to make a good movie, but to reduce the chance of bad movies. A movie with a unique perspective like "Jinling! Jinling!" will not be the choice of a normal producer. Well, it's probably not a normal filmmaker's choice!

Finally at nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Zhao's dinner was arranged at the Sheraton Hotel, maybe he was rich, but the entertainment industry still needed drunken gold fans to decorate.

Zhou Shi also experienced the service of a big hotel and gave himself a chance to relax. Sauna massage sword, here is everything, all are very formal services, Zhou Shi will not mess around.

The protagonists of this dinner are stars from all walks of life, the actors under Starlight have two pillars, Hu Ge and Huang Bai, oh, Huang Bai is not yet, before the Dark Knight was released, Huang Bai's position was not big, and the problem of personal image could not be an idol, now it is just a little famous, and the current status of Xu Zheng and others is even more embarrassing. There are not many actresses, Fan Binbin left Huayi and did not join Starlight, although she had the title of a donkey to wash her vase, but she still did not join Starlight. Zhao Liying, Jiang Xin and others under the company are still developing, several actresses of the Tang Dynasty are not very famous, and there are some names and faces that Zhou Shi does not remember, but as Starlight increases its investment in movies and TV series, there should be a great change.

There was no participation of reporters and media at this dinner, and the Spring Festival was just a few days away, and many celebrities and artists either went home or participated in commercial performances in various places. This dinner is more of a gathering of artists in Beijing.

Zhou Shi was not interested in such a party, and when he saw that there was no one around Huang Bai, he walked over to chat with him.

"How is it, is there a play now?" Zhou Shi

"It's much better now, just after that meeting, melancholy and wanting to kill myself. "Cork

"Do you regret it?" Zhou Shi

"How is it possible, if you can't even overcome this difficulty, what kind of actor are you going to be?"

"Then how did you act, did you meet your expectations?" Zhou Shi

"It's okay! The acting skills in Europe and the United States are very different from those in China, but the director still approves of it. Huang Bai said with emotion

"I hope you don't mess up the film, there's a good chance Hollywood won't give you a second chance. "Zhou Shi

"I'm not afraid of this, but I'm worried about disappointing you and making you lose too much. "Cork

"I didn't do anything, you don't have to take my business to heart. "Zhou Shi

"I know!

Huang Bai naturally didn't believe that Zhou Shi didn't pay any price, so he made him the main supporting role of the Dark Knight, and in the process of filming in the United States, he also knew a lot from various details. After all, investors like Zhou Shi are rare, and Huang Bai, as a beneficiary, has gained a lot of curiosity. It is difficult for everyone to guess the reason why Zhou Shi insisted on letting Huang Bai play the clown.

"No matter whether you succeed or fail this time, you need to rely on your own efforts for future development, and I can't give you much help. "Zhou Shi

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Zhao walked over with a glass of wine.

"Nothing, let's talk about my superhero movie. "Cork

"It's time to relax, don't talk about work. "Zhang Zhao

"Okay then, I'll listen to you!" Zhou Shi also raised his glass.

Unexpectedly, the two discussed all kinds of beauties while walking. The film and television industry and the financial circle are indeed two major concentrations of beauties, and Zhou Shi rarely has the opportunity to be so presumptuous about his character. Fortunately, no one was close to the two of them at this time, and their voices were not loud, so maybe no one heard them.

"Who are you more interested in!" Zhang Zhao suddenly asked ambiguously

Thank you for the monthly pass
