The Director of Music Department

After hearing what Wang Yifan said, everyone shook their heads secretly.

This is completely because standing and talking don't hurt your back.

Yes, they can indeed get opportunities for Hollywood movies, but the question is, what are those opportunities?

It's all bad scripts.

How can it be compared with Wang Yifan's script, and how can it be compared with James Liszt's collaboration?

"Director Wang, of course we know Hollywood's attitude towards our Chinese directors, but if we don't try it, we are still not reconciled. Therefore, we need a lot of help from Director Wang in this regard." Zhou Zhan smiled bitterly.

In fact, among this group of people, Zhou Zhan is undoubtedly the most yearning for Hollywood.

Zhou Zhan was actually a literary director earlier, and he still had a literary style in his bones.

The films he made, even now, are still not purely commercial films.

But in China, to put it bluntly, literary and artistic movies really don't have that kind of atmosphere!

Look at the big directors present, even if it is Ma Qingshan, in fact, he became famous and won awards abroad.

In the early years of Zhou Zhan, he followed the same route as Ma Qingshan, but the three major European film festivals are no longer the original three European film festivals.

Even Ma Qingshan often swears at the three major European film festivals, let alone Zhou Zhan.

Then the Hollywood Oscar is undoubtedly Zhou Zhan's most yearning place.

Wang Yifan shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Actually, the Hollywood model is very different from ours. The movie "Remains on a Deserted Island" is a special one. It is a one-man show. It is said that it is a one-man show by James Liszt. The director's role in it is actually not too great. For this reason, James Liszt is willing to accept that Chen Shaojun will become the director of this film. But in fact, other films, we Chinese The director wants to direct, really not as free as you think. Director Chen Hang should have a deep understanding of this. You can ask about Director Chen Hang's experience in Hollywood."

Everyone looked at Chen Hang.

Chen Hang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "First of all, the Hollywood film industry is indeed the world's largest, and their division of labor is very clear. Directors, in Hollywood most of the time, there are only two types of directors."

Seeing everyone looking at him, he continued: "Actually, I believe everyone has directed co-productions, but what I want to say is that co-productions and Hollywood movies are completely different things!"

In fact, almost all of the top domestic directors have participated in directing co-productions.

As for co-productions, to put it bluntly, in fact, most of the time, domestic companies dominate, especially in film shooting.

The directors of these co-produced films can be said to be the domestic giants standing behind them. Therefore, the degree of freedom, or the bias, is naturally the directors biased toward the domestic!

"Does this make any difference? Director Chen, please tell me quickly." Zhou Zhan looked at Chen Hang with some confusion.

Chen Hang nodded and said: "In fact, I had the same idea as you at the beginning. I felt that I had directed co-production films with a larger investment, and I also worked with the Hollywood team at the beginning. Could there be anything else? different?"

"Yes, the Hollywood teams are indeed relatively more professional, but it seems that there is nothing else besides that, right?" Cao Meng on the side couldn't help asking.

Chen Hang shook his head and said, "These Hollywood production teams are really no different!"

"They are indeed very professional, but the problem is that I was a major A-level production of Mina Group. There is no Chinese capital in this film. I am just a pure director."

"Producer-centered system?" He Jun asked suspiciously.

Chen Hang nodded and said, "What is the producer in your imagination like?"

Zhou Zhan asked suspiciously: "Producer, can the producer really surpass the director? Not so?"

In fact, it’s not to blame Zhou Zhanhui for thinking this way. In fact, Zhou Zhan is different from other directors because he was in the literary and film industry in his early years.

And Hollywood movies, to be honest, independent movies, are actually no different from the domestic literary and artistic film circles. Most of the time, they are director-centric.

Commercial blockbusters will truly highlight the core of the producer-centric system.

Even for some medium-invested films, the producer-centric system is not so thorough.

Therefore, in Zhou Zhan's opinion, the producer-centered system is nothing more than a matter outside the film. The producer is in charge of it, and the director is responsible for the film.

This is also the subconscious thought of many other directors in the country.

Including Chen Hang!

Seeing that everyone reacted like this, Chen Hang couldn't help but glanced at Wang Yifan, and then said with a wry smile: "I thought the same way at the beginning, but in fact, when you really receive a movie with A-level investment, then this At that time, you will find that our director, in the film crew, is basically a tool man!"

"Maybe you may think that what I said is too exaggerated? Actually, it is not an exaggeration at all. Can you imagine the casting director, dare to fight against me?" Chen Hang thought of the director and the producer of the casting. The scene when the filmmakers joined hands to make a scene, couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"Isn't it? The casting director dare to fight against the director?" Zhou Zhan, are you fooling me?

Actually, I don’t blame Zhou Zhan for thinking this way.

It is because in China, there is actually no casting director position at all. Most of the time, the director and the investor jointly decide.

And fortresses on the investor side, for big directors like them, they are at best a supporting role or something.

The director always decides the protagonist and the like.

Chen Hang shook his head and said: "More than that, the producers, in our country, most of the time, they are in charge of logistics and things other than filming. But in Hollywood, the producers are completely free to direct the director. , Especially the gold medal producers, we outsiders, those teams, no one will recognize you as soon as they come, and the gold medal producers are completely different!"

"Actually, different places have different systems and habits. For example, on Xiaohan's side, TV dramas and the like are usually screenwriter-centered, while on Hollywood side, a movie, a project, how do you think they are? Started?" Wang Yifan interrupted.

"Thousands of new scripts appear in Hollywood every year, but only a few hundred are eventually shot. In fact, among these hundreds of films, most of them are A-level big productions. Except for some IP scripts, otherwise, it will be extremely big. Most, a project is initiated by a gold medal producer. They may have an idea, and then put forward the idea and start the project. Yes, they all have the producer first, then the script, and then the director. The selection of candidates, and the formation of the crew is usually the responsibility of the producer. Therefore, the big-name producer can control the entire crew. The director is usually only responsible for shooting the movie, and what is shot every few days is the producer. He will go over it, and if there is something wrong or unsatisfied with, he will ask to re-shoot..."
