Chatty Hollywood

?Even though I am the director, and every movie I shoot, I am the leader, but Charlotte still has to admit that what David Hyman said is actually correct.

In Hollywood, where the producer-centered system is practiced, it is the producer who can determine the success or failure of a movie in many cases.

Of course, as a director, Charlotte has a slightly different view from David Hyman.

He feels that what the producer can decide is actually a lower limit of film quality.

What the director can decide is the upper limit of film quality.

-It is of course good to be able to raise the upper limit, but the lower limit determines the basic disk of the movie and determines whether the future income of the movie is guaranteed.

Therefore, Hollywood studios, which are essentially making money, will finally conservatively choose the producer-centric system.

This is actually an inevitable choice under the action of capital.

Of course, the same producers, or chief producers, have different powers and influence on the film.

First of all, if most of the investment of the crew is not drawn by the producer or from the company behind the producer, then the producer's right to speak will be greatly restricted.

Especially when investors or representatives of investors are also in the crew.

-This is the situation between Mr. Westwood of the original "Fatal Turn" crew and Charlotte's predecessor, the director of Alan McElroy.

Of course, this situation is more extreme.

In most cases, in Hollywood crews, the producers are absolute representatives of the capital.

But even so, how much influence the producer can have on the film still depends on the degree of participation.

-Of course they hold the final editing rights and have a veto.

However, failure is easy, but success is not so easy.

At this time, if the producer wants to participate in the production of the film to the greatest extent, he will generally focus on the position of the screenwriter.

—Many producers, especially those who focus on one or two projects and don't open multiple projects at the same time, often also work as crew writers.

Of course, they are not the kind of screenwriters who need to change the script seven or eight times if anyone says a word.

In fact, they are often the ones who talk about the needs...

The screenwriter is actually a very low position in the crew. Once combined with the producer, it can exert great energy—

Because if a producer is just a producer, he can only know that he wants a movie that is successful and profitable, but what the movie looks like, it still depends on the director.

This gives the director maneuverable space.

When the producers are also screenwriters and have a clear view of the story of the movie, and even have their own opinions, then they know what kind of movie they want.

In this case, the director is nothing more than a live shooting guide.

-David Hyman and Charlotte used George Lucas and the "Star Wars" series as examples, and they are talking about this situation.

In this regard, Charlotte has no opinion.

-However, he also knows that the combination of director and screenwriter can also produce such a situation where one plus one is greater than two.

It can only be said that the role of screenwriter is just a typical power amplifier in the film crew.

However, David Heyman’s "Harry Potter" crew does not actually fall into these two situations—

"David, you are right!"

Charlotte smiled.

"But don't forget Rowling!"

-Yes, J.K. Rowling, as the original author of the "Harry Potter" series, also serves as a screenwriter in the crew, which means that her power has also been amplified.

Coupled with the style of the "Harry Potter" series, it was originally based on following the original.

In this case, Charlotte feels that the original author of J.K. Rowling is actually the core character of the "Harry Potter" series of movies.

—At least, after the first "Sorcerer's Stone" shot by Charlotte, it's all like this.

"Because the style of the "Harry Potter" series is to be as close to the original as possible, so Rowling's opinion is very important."

Charlotte explained,

"But, David, what you said is right. The director of this series is indeed not the decisive core figure-and apart from Rowling's plot, to some extent, whether the level and style of special effects are consistent is more important than the director."

"I'm relieved at this point!"

David Hyman laughed loudly.

"With your ghost party studio escorted, special effects will not be a problem!"

"...You are really confident!"

Charlotte shrugged and stopped struggling with this question.

"David, I can see that you admire David Yates so much that you want him to direct the Harry Potter series. However, his qualifications are indeed a problem, then, I have a Suggest-"

"What advice?"

"You can make Mike Neville the director first and David Yates as the assistant director."

Charlotte stretched out her finger and said,

"This aspect can facilitate you to further understand and exercise David Yates' ability, let him learn from Mike Newell, and also help Newell; on the other hand, it can also make him familiar with the entire "Harry Potter" "Series, when Mike Neville leaves, he can take over."

"This idea is really good!"

David Hyman nodded.

"But, do you just confirm that Mike Neville will not continue directing?"

"Well..."

Charlotte shook her head.

"David, how about we make a bet?"

"…just forget it!"

David Hyman thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Hollywood rumors—"People who bet with Charlotte Booth are fools! "—I have heard this sentence."

"That's a pity!"

Charlotte smiled.

This rumor has gradually spread in the past two years.

You know, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is like Charlotte said to Charlize and Alexis, as long as he bet, he will definitely cheat.

And because of the spell, others can't find it.

-Under this circumstance, he, who must win every bet, naturally no one dares to bet with him anymore.

In this regard, Charlotte did not feel frustrated.

After all, he is not a gambler. It's just that there are fewer opportunities to tease others, but it disappoints him who has a bad personality...

*******

However, Charlotte's disappointment did not affect David Hyman.

After asking about the successor director, he raised another question to Charlotte—

"Charlotte, in addition to looking for a successor director, the casting of the fourth "Goblet of Fire" is also underway. There are quite a few new characters added this time. Would you like to take a look?"
