"I don't care about your and Hollywood's theories, I just have the right to cut them up. If we can, we'll move on. Otherwise, please go back. Sun Zhenghong is very persistent in the final cutting power and refuses to give in.

Li Qiuting looked at Chen Ziang.

Chen Ziang is the big boss, and the big boss has the final say.

Li Qiuting really wanted to agree to Sun Zhenghong, Boyu Entertainment developed into the film and television industry, and it was difficult to start at the beginning, forbearance, regression, and sacrificing interests were inevitable.

"That's bothering Director Sun, let's go back and think about it. Chen Ziang ignored Li Qiuting's eyes, said humbly to Sun Zhenghong, and got up to say goodbye.

Li Qiuting had to stand up and say goodbye to Sun Zhenghong.

Sun Zhenghong got up and sent Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting out the door.

After Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting left, Sun Zhenghong shook his head: "I still regard myself as a big company, if I wasn't afraid that you would cut me blind, I wouldn't want to end the cut." ”

Chen Ziang and Li Qiuting went out of the community and went to the corner coffee shop to sit and chat.

At the same time, they asked their assistants to help book high-speed rail tickets and rush back to Youzhou today.

"Ziang, to be honest, we don't have a professional editor, in fact, it is quite appropriate to hand over the final cutting power to Sun Zhenghong. In the coffee shop, Li Qiuting took a sip of coffee, put down the cup and said to Chen Ziang.

Chen Ziang smiled.

Who says there aren't professional editors?

Isn't he?

The scripts he took out were all movies that were popular in his previous life, not to mention the fire, at least the profits were doubled.

And he has seen all the movies made from these scripts.

After reading it, don't you know how to cut it?

How to present it, what style to use, there is a template there, Chen Ziang is more professional than a professional editor.

Of course, if the director is too reckless and blind, he can't cut it.

Therefore, I still need a reliable director to help shoot it.

"You're thinking too simply. Chen Ziang couldn't tell Li Qiuting that he had a template from his past life, so he could only explain: "Boyu Entertainment will not invest wholly in it, and some funds will be pulled from outside." Do you think we can say yes, and the other party can also agree? In the production of commercial films, the producer's opinion is very important. The world is imperfect, and filmmaking itself is a process of multi-party cooperation and bargaining. Unless we make movies entirely at our own expense, or are so coerced that studios beg us to make movies, no one can escape reality.

The other investment Chen Ziang said is Shizifeng Technology, and there is another person - Guan Nier.

Don't say one or two million, it's fifty or sixty million, Boyu Entertainment has it.

Shizifeng Technology has more.

But this is risky investment.

Moreover, many people and companies seem to be rich, but the liquidity is actually stretched thin, and they can't take out much money at once.

Following Chan's advice, Kwan Nier is ready to start a business and start an IT company to provide IT services to the government.

At the same time, she spotted Chen Ziang and wanted to take a ride, so she asked Chen Ziang what she would do if she invested, and called her.

Chen Ziang said that if he made a movie, Guan Nier did not hesitate, and said that she would vote, but the amount would definitely be less.

"Yes. Li Qiuting sighed, not only Boyu Entertainment Investment.

If it is Boyu Entertainment's full investment, Li Qiuting and Xu Ran don't want to agree, the risk is too great.

Everyone's money doesn't come from the wind.

Before the results were released, Li Qiuting and Xu Ran certainly couldn't believe Chen Ziang unreservedly.

They can do what they are doing now, and they already have a lot of trust in Chen Ziang.

Li Qiuting thinks about the rules of the film industry and has a headache.

Directors basically have the right to edit, but the crucial right to cut is not available to everyone. The final cutting power given by the producer is like the sword given by the emperor, which is definitely a symbol of power and honor. Moreover, the right to final cutting is not a permanent guarantee, you get this film, and the owner of the next film may not give it to you.

Li Qiuting discussed with Chen Ziang about this final cutting right.

Who should have the final cutting rights for the film?

Does the director have to have this right, sacrosanct?

Do producers often ruin the director's artistic work because of commercial considerations, or can they really better grasp the pace of the film from a market perspective?

Does the Director's Cut necessarily be better and more content than the theatrical version?

"Sister Qiu Ting, I hope you can learn and understand Hollywood, which has a relatively complete film system. This will be very useful for our future development. Don't just focus on the country, the domestic market and system are not perfect. "It's all on the train back to Youzhou, and Chen Ziang is still discussing with Li Qiuting.

Li Qiuting is convinced of Chen Ziang so far.

It's no wonder that he can do so well in variety shows.

It turned out that he had researched and investigated.

It was also from Chen Ziang that Li Qiuting learned that in Hollywood, the producer has the final say on the right to cut the movie.

At the same time, she knows more about Hollywood.

For example, in Hollywood, the so-called "producer system" is implemented, that is, in the production process of a film, the position of the producer is the most important, he controls the film, from investment to script to shooting cycle to the final film editing, release, distribution......

At present, in China, it basically belongs to the director responsibility system, although small and medium-sized directors may not have full control, but in general, the center of the film is the director, and the director grasps the direction of the script, the style of the film, the lens language, the selection of actors, etc., and the producer is like an assistant.

However, Hollywood producers are basically experts, and they are very aware of the market, funds, resources, and even the political environment. Most of the decisions they make are in line with the laws of the market, although it will inevitably affect the director's personal expression.

There are three main considerations for producers to move scissors:

The first is duration, and the ideal length for most Hollywood studios is about two hours. This length is best suited to the appreciation habits of most viewers.

The second is classification, whether a commercial film is PG-13 or R-rated is often related to the life and death of the box office. And in some countries, if it is not cut according to the official requirements, the film will not even have the opportunity to meet the audience. Therefore, producers often want to cut the film to a more popular rating in order to win the maximum number of audiences.

The third is, of course, the content, the producer naturally has to consider the commercial value, and likes to recombine the works that are too heavy on literary and artistic tendencies or not tightly paced.

In general, this kind of producer system is more effective in grasping the quality of the film, although it may pay the price of stifling the classics, but after all, it reduces the opportunity to make a lot of shoddy films. As for the director and the producer, it seems that there is a permanent wrestling.

However, strictly speaking, in Hollywood, the producer system does not mean that everything is decided by the producer, and there is often the influence of the film company or even investors behind it.

"Then Sun Zhenghong will pass?" asked Li Qiuting to Chen Ziang.
