Chatty Hollywood

　　 The attempted or postponed protest of the Dominicans was just one of the many accidents encountered by the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" during the filming process.

　　 And to put it down in advance, it was Charlotte's job as a producer, not a director.

　　 In fact, the job of a producer is not easier than that of a director.

　　The difference is that the director is more focused on the film itself, while the producer has to do everything.

　　 There is no way. In Hollywood, where the producer-centric system is implemented, the chief producer is the leader of the crew.

　　 Unless the lead actor or director in the crew is also a member of the investor, and also has the title of producer, otherwise the chief producer is in control.

　　 And having power means that you need to bear corresponding responsibilities.

　　 Although the ultimate responsibility of the producer is only one, it is to ensure that the film is profitable.

　　—As long as a film project can quickly make a profit after it is released, no matter how the producer performs in the filming and production process, he can be said to be successful.

　　 But this premise is also that the movie must be profitable.

　　——If the film loses, no matter how many excuses the producer makes or how many back-ups he finds, he will not be able to run away as the first person in charge.

　　 And what might affect the profitability of the movie?

the answer is--

　　 From the project to the release of the movie, everything within a period of time after the release.

　　 For a movie, danger is everywhere in this world!

　　 This also means that the producer, especially the chief producer, must be responsible for everything that happens during the production of the film.

　　 Of course, this is an exaggerated statement.

　　Actually, in Hollywood, where the film industry is relatively mature and each position has clearly defined powers and responsibilities, the chief producer is basically not needed for general affairs.

　　 At least in some large investments and large commercial productions with sufficient human resources, this is true.

　　 Various behind-the-scenes staff, such as drama management, executive production, director, screenwriter, etc., will solve most of the routine problems.

　　 Most of the time, the chief producer only needs to prepare the money, set up the crew, and then regularly review the progress and cost of the film.

　　 However, this is based on the premise that the crew has not encountered any problems that no one else can solve.

　　 Once you encounter that kind of big trouble, whether it is in the crew or outside the crew, especially all kinds of accidents, you need the chief producer who has the power to handle it.

　　 Among them, including but not limited to solving the excessive tearing of the big coffee in the crew, when the cost is overrun, deciding to invest more or hack the director, and rent some special shooting venues, such as the National Museum...

　　 Such protests as Charlotte calmed down may cause serious prolongation of the crew's shooting time and even dangerous protests. Naturally, it is also one of them.

　　——In short, in Hollywood crews, "finding a film if it is difficult" is also an unwritten rule.

　　——This is actually the same as in ordinary companies, the problem that the lower level cannot solve is reported to the boss, and it is the same reason that it is finally summarized to the boss.

　　The producer is the boss of the crew!

　　 Of course, whether the boss can solve the problem, and after he solves the problem, will he think that his subordinates are not capable enough to trouble himself with everything, because he decided to open a person, this is another matter.

　　 In short, as a successful Hollywood producer, you must not only control the director and the entire crew, but also withstand all kinds of pressures and guilt from investors, and also confront all kinds of difficult and malicious enemies outside.

　　——This is not an easy job.

　　 This is especially true when the director is also the producer, especially the chief producer.

　　 Those pure directors full of artistic cells can't do this at all.

　　 And some set tyrants who are too grumpy have no such patience.

Only those who are sufficiently successful and authoritative, and at the same time possess the qualities of shrewdness and patience, can think in a nearly schizophrenic way, and at the same time think from the two opposite standpoints of the producer who invests money and the director who spends money. Only those with problems can really do a good job with both jobs.

　　-like Spielberg, like Charlotte.

　　 And even super directors like them, because there are too many things to focus on, they often need a lot of assistant producers to help with the production work.

　　 Like Katherine Kennedy, a famous female producer in Hollywood, she started as a production assistant for Spielberg.

　　 In this regard, Charlotte mainly relies on the ghosts of his men.

　　——Like Alexis who can fly across the Atlantic quickly.

　　 This is his unique trick, no other director can learn it.

　　At the same time, because Charlotte established the Ghost Party Studio very early, his movies are basically shot by the Ghost Party Studio.

　　 This saved him a lot of time when choosing crew members, especially those behind the scenes.

　　—These people are all employees of the Ghost Party Studio, and there are basically no problems such as inappropriate schedules.

　　 Actually, because of the speed of shooting one film a year in Charlotte, his crew is almost in a standing state.

　　Some people have been following Charlotte to make movies even since they entered the industry, and they have never worked under a director other than him.

　　 Therefore, Charlotte’s crew is very proficient, and many small things can be solved without his own intervention.

　　 And now, it is this crew who followed him to film "Pirates of the Caribbean".

　　-This really makes Charlotte's job a lot easier.

　　 But even so, in the face of such an emergency today, Charlotte still has to solve it personally...

　　 Anyway, after that, the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in Dominica didn't have any trouble.

　　 Of course, if you say everything goes smoothly, it doesn’t count.

After all, Dominicans, like many people in tropical and subtropical regions, are not so active in their work~www.readwn.com~Maybe the natural environment is too friendly, food and other resources are abundant, and the pressure of survival has been low since ancient times. People in the region generally lack the concept of hard work.

　　 This is true in Africa, South America, and Dominica is no exception.

　　 This gives the crew a feeling of vacationing while hiring locals.

　　 In this regard, even if Charlotte can use spells, nothing can be changed.

　　 Fortunately, under careful coordination, this low work efficiency did not affect the crew's shooting schedule too much.

　　 And considering that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is now a trilogy, the shooting time will be relatively long. In order to prevent the nerves of the crew members from straining to an unbearable level, Charlotte also deliberately relaxed.

　　——Especially, when shooting in Rosarito, Mexico some time ago, because the huge tank where "Titanic" was filmed was billed by the day, the crew naturally had to race against time.

　　 So, it is reasonable to relax a little now, especially now it is almost Christmas in 2000.

　　 After all, work can last if there is tension and relaxation!

　　 And Charlotte also took the opportunity to take Charlize over, preparing to spend a Christmas in the tropics with his wife...

　　 First set a small goal, such as 1 second to remember: 　shukeju mobile version reading URL:
