"I said Director Fan, you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Lin Xiao was also a little unhappy in his heart, no matter who was disturbed, he probably wouldn't be happy.

Fan Wencheng over there was stunned when he heard this, no, it's the middle of the night on my side, and it's only noon on your side, why is it so angry?

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, why are you so angry? It shouldn't be a good thing for my old fan to disturb you, right?" Fan Wencheng joked with a smile.

What he didn't know was that he was really right.

"Okay, isn't Director Fan in North America? Isn't this time the middle of the night?" Of course, Lin Xiao would not admit it, but asked in reverse.

"Eh, I can't sleep. Fan Wencheng said with a wry smile.

"No, Director Fan, what do you mean by calling me when you can't sleep? It's easy for people to misunderstand, right?" Lin Xiao said teasingly when he heard this.

Fan Wencheng said with a little crying and laughing: "Yes, I won't beat around the bush, I'll just say it, eh, Mr. Lin, it's better to cooperate with you, when I come to Hollywood, others envy me, and I also think it's a dream opportunity, but when I come, I know, it's difficult!"

"No, Director Fan, are you complaining?" Lin Xiaowan said with a smile.

"Yes, complaining, after I came, eh, I found out that this side is not the same thing as ours at all, there are a lot of grandparents, parents-in-law and mother-in-law above, and if anyone tells me anything about the Hollywood film company professional, I am anxious with him, where is this special meow professional, this is completely nonsense. Fan Wencheng said in tears.

"What's the matter? They can still embarrass you? What is it that makes you so ...... Pessimistic?" Lin Xiao was really curious.

He's also made films in Hollywood, and he doesn't think there's any difference, oh, yes, you can't say that, that's it, Hollywood, overtime or something, don't think about it, you can't give money.

This is really very different from China.

On their side, when it comes to the point of getting off work, don't want them to continue working.

However, Lin Xiao forgot what kind of fame and identity he was, although Fan Wencheng was very famous in China and had a very high status, the crew was basically his word, but when he went abroad, many people didn't actually know who he was.

And he Lin Xiao is different, many blockbusters have been successful, and he has become famous.

In addition, he is the boss of the company, a producer, a director, or a screenwriter, who dares to compare with him?

But Fan Wencheng is different, although he also brought people over, but his people are also blind to Hollywood.

"Don't you know, they actually want me to change "Space Rescue" into a big heroine movie, saying that now that the feminist movement is rising, "Super Body" has driven the boom of big heroine movies, but isn't this a mess? The movie is almost ready, and the actors are almost settled, but now they tell me that they want to change it to a big heroine movie and let women save the world, it's just speechless. Fan Wencheng said depressedly.

During this time, Fan Wencheng was about to explode, it can be said that everything is not going well, the preparations are all problems, and the crew is not convinced by him at all, which makes Fan Wencheng a little anxious.

But the point is, he has not yet been able to find a solution.

"Old Fan, is this being bullied?" Lin Xiao said with some schadenfreude.

"Yes, I was bullied, this is not to learn from Mr. Lin. Fan Wencheng heard Lin Xiao's ridicule that day, but he was not annoyed at all, but said straightforwardly.

"First of all, our situation is different, I'm over there, I'm an investor, a producer and a director and screenwriter, so it's actually not much different from in China, but I can give you some tips, of course, I haven't tried it or not, and I don't know. Lin Xiao said with a smile

"How can it not work, you can say it quickly, but I am saddened. Fan Wencheng hurriedly said.

"First of all, you are the director, although the power of the director in Hollywood is not so big, but it is not so small, you don't need to listen to them, no matter what they say, you directly show them the contract and tell them that everything will come according to the contract. Lin Xiao said.

"But the contract doesn't say that you can't change the script?" Fan Wencheng asked suspiciously.

"Yes, but the contract must be written in the contract, your rights in the crew, they like to talk to people about the spirit of the contract the most, by the way, you don't have an agent in North America, right? Find one, let your agent talk, if you want to change it, it's no problem, directly give liquidated damages, whoever you love to shoot the movie. Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"What's more, what should I do if the people of the third-party guarantee company are always looking for trouble?" Fan Wencheng was also troubled by the people of the third-party guarantee company. It's annoying.

"It's simpler, it's still the same, find an agent, or go directly to your producer, assistant director, let them go and talk to each other, you don't have to worry about it at all. You are the director, as long as you are responsible for doing a good job in the movie, everything else can actually be handed over to others to discuss. Lin Xiao came up with another idea.

"This ...... I found out that I'm a fool!" Fan Wencheng was stunned when he heard this, and he was in a hurry to make trouble for himself.

"In fact, your biggest problem is that there is no agent, if there is an agent, these problems can be handed over to him to solve, they are very professional, you can save a lot of trouble by spending some money, and you have to find a lawyer. In fact, if you don't look for it, you will be more troublesome at that time, and there are many things that can be handed over to the producer to do, the producer has a lot of power, but the same as their producer, there are many things to do, many things, you have to let the family do the work, you are just the director, just do the director's job. ”

"Also, on the side of Universal Company, you also have to express your dissatisfaction appropriately and let them restrain a little, you just don't take yourself seriously, you are invited by them to make a movie, not a servant, if you want to change the plot of the movie, change the plot of the movie, change the character if you want to change the character, you directly give them the guide tube and let them play. Lin Xiao was also a little speechless to Fan Wencheng, but he couldn't be blamed for this.

Hollywood and Huaguo are still very different, Huaguo is the director's word, while Hollywood is usually the producer is in charge, but the director is not so weak, especially don't look at Fan Wencheng It seems that he has no status in North America, but he was invited by Universal, so it is obvious that people from Universal think that he can still create value, this is his confidence, but he blindly shows weakness, but makes them feel that he is weak and can be bullied.

"As for the crew, don't worry about being countered by big-name actors, you are the director, you have to be tough from the beginning, others make you think you are a small role, but you are invited by people at a great price. ”
