The "Three Kingdoms" series of films will also try to adopt the producer-centric model to produce.

Although the director-centered system and the producer-centered system have their own benefits, in contrast, the director-centered system model reflects more of the director's personal level, ideas, etc., while the producer-centered system is more commercial.

Of course, this model is not so easy to achieve in China at present, because the "Three Kingdoms" series of movies is definitely not a small scene, but a big movie.

It is difficult for ordinary directors to control, and most of the directors who can control this kind of big production are directors who have been famous for a long time, and many times, they are relatively strong.

In fact, the biggest feature of the producer-centric system is the control of costs and the right to final editing.

In China, the basic director has the final editing rights.

In this way, once the director wants to express some of his own ideas through the film, it is often contrary to commercialization.

After all, ordinary audiences watch movies, to put it bluntly, it is still entertainment, brain-burning or something, it is used for publicity, and the real brain-burning movies are destined to hit the street at the box office.

Because most audiences watch movies and prefer to watch them without their brains, after all, the pressure of life has been so great, and the purpose of watching movies is to relax, and you have to make a lot of things that need to be thought about and thought about to understand, and the audience has long been impatient.

Lin Xiao has checked the movies related to the Three Kingdoms in the system, the most famous, or the one with the largest investment, is called "Red Cliff", but it turned out to be dumbfounded.

What the hell is "the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of women"?

This is the consequence of the typical director-centric system, why is there such a strange line? Is it because of the screenwriter? Not like this.

On the contrary, if the screenwriter has the right to speak, this kind of strange lines, as long as he is a professional screenwriter, will not get into historical films, isn't this Nima funny.

Of course, the "Three Kingdoms" series of movies is not entirely producer-centric, but the final editing right must no longer be given to the director.

In the first "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", Lin Xiao did not direct it himself in the end, because there will be a lot of real big scenes involved.

Although he already has a lot of experience in big movies, he is really not sure about this kind of film.

The director of the first "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" finally selected three candidates, one is Mo Ning, an old director of CCTV, who is good at shooting historical documentaries.

One is a famous Chinese costume film director, Li Ke.

Li Ke has filmed "Jing Ke Assassination Qin", "Jin Yiwei" and other history-related films, many of which have big scenes, especially "Jing Ke Assassination Qin", which is known as the best historical epic film in China.

But Li Ke is not like Mo Ning, he is capable but not famous, on the contrary, Li Ke is very famous, so it is a big problem to persuade Li Ke to give up the final editing right.

However, the reason why Li Ke is one of the candidates is also because the box office of Li Ke's films in recent years has not been so good, so when negotiating, the other party has no strong capital.

The last candidate is Zhou Chuanming.

Zhou Chuanming is the youngest of the three directors, of course, it is only compared to the first two.

Zhou Chuanming was also the director of CCTV before, and then jumped out, Zhou Chuanming has no experience in directing movies, but Zhou Chuanming has directed several historical dramas.

So there is still some ability, but there is obviously a lack of experience.

However, Zhou Chuanming's advantage is obvious, that is, although he is a TV series director and his fame is not small, because he has not directed a blockbuster movie, he is the one who is most likely to accept giving up the right to final editing.

......

Lin Xiao, who is in charge of the selection, is the chief examiner, and there is also the producer of "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", Xu Xiaodong, who has been decided.

Xu Xiaodong has rich production experience, and was poached by Long Teng from the Hollywood film and television giant DSN through headhunting.

He has served as a sub-producer of many films, yes, an associate producer, not because he is incompetent, but because, in Hollywood, for a Chinese American, this is almost the ceiling.

This is also the reason why Long Teng didn't dig him too hard.

Xu Xiaodong has served as a deputy producer of many blockbuster productions, which can be described as experienced, the key is that he is familiar with the producer model of Hollywood, but he has never been able to take charge of himself, which can be said to be a hit with Longteng.

Next, Xu Xiaodong will serve as one of the main producers of "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", and he will be the executive producer.

In other words, the main work will be done by him.

Therefore, in terms of director selection, Xu Xiaodong naturally needs to have a certain right to speak.

The first thing Lin Xiao and Xu Xiaodong met was director Mo Ning.

Mo Ning is very good at talking, saying that he can not have the final editing rights, but Mo Ning is used to making documentaries.

Lin Xiao and Xu Xiaodong are a little worried about whether Mo Ning can make this kind of commercial movie.

"Director Mo, if you have read the script of "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms", right?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Yes. Mo Ning nodded.

"So if you were to direct this film, what angle would you shoot it from?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"I think that since "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" is a group of heroes, it can't focus too much on a certain character, but start from the overall situation, I have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which has obvious bias, I think if it is filmed according to the bias, then this film will lose its original historical flavor...... So, if I were to direct, I would have made some fine-tuning of the plot, focusing on the sense of the times and the environment, rather than focusing on these heroes......"

Obviously, Mo Ning has done a certain amount of research and done a lot of homework.

It's just that Lin Xiao secretly shook his head in his heart, Mo Ning was born in documentaries and had never made movies, so obviously, in this regard, he still used the shooting idea of documentaries.

It's almost like saying that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is simply scribbling history, if one doesn't have any biased position, then it's not, but a history book.

For a commercial film, if it is made according to Mo Ning's idea, it is clear that this investment will be wasted, because what is the difference between that and a documentary?

Commercial films either bring funny, moving, or refreshing to the audience, these are the most important things, not those humanistic feelings, historical senses and the like.

If you want to popularize historical knowledge, wouldn't it be better to say "Three Kingdoms"?

After sending Mo Ning away, Lin Xiao asked, "Producer Xu, what do you think?"

"Didn't Mr. Lin already have a decision?" Xu Xiaodong said with a smile.

"But I still want to hear Producer Xu's thoughts. Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"My idea is very simple, Director Mo is not suitable, why does "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" make everyone like it? The main reason I think is that this is a film, this is a film with an obvious position, and the second is others. Xu Xiaodong said.

"If a film does not have any biased position, then the reader's sense of substitution will be gone, and even the author himself has no position, how do you let the reader substitute?"
