The Director of Music Department

Chen Hang's heart skipped a beat, it's too normal.

Wang Yifan was not surprised by this at all.

After all, no matter what, although the market in Huaguo has indeed exploded in the past few years, it can be said that it has stopped raining in North America.

But no matter what, North America is indeed the largest market in the world, and the key point is that Hollywood has a fatal attraction for many directors in Huaguo.

However, Wang Yifan was not too optimistic about Chen Hang.

There is no way, even though Chen Hang is considered to be one of the top five directors in China.

But in Hollywood, it's not that Wang Yifan overwhelms others' ambitions and destroys his prestige. On the one hand, it's a foreign country. On the other hand, Hollywood's main target market is always the local.

After all, Chen Hang is the director of Huaguo.

At the same time, there is another point that is critical, or the most critical point.

With the current level of "The Truman Show", it is difficult for Chen Hang to gain real dominance in Hollywood.

Don't forget, Hollywood is not a director-centered system, but a producer-centered system!

Unless it is a top-level director, otherwise, it is almost impossible for the director to have too much say in an A-level production.

As for Chen Hang's current status, don't look at so many Hollywood film companies throwing olive branches at him, as if they are eager for talents.

But in fact, among these invitations, there are too few real A-level major productions.

And if Chen Hang is allowed to direct a B-grade film, then it may be possible for him to take the lead, but Chen Hang obviously won't be reconciled.

So that is to say, Chen Hang is now in the stage of excitement. Once he really makes a decision, he will feel what it means to be unaccustomed.

Simply put, Huaguo still has a long way to go if it wants to be on par with North America.

First of all, the script aspect.

The scripts of Huaguo movies do not have a fixed format. Many people even said that the script does not need a format, as long as they can understand it and feel comfortable watching it.

Yes, this is not unusual, most movies in Huaguo are like this.

Another point is that many people may not dare to believe it.

For "Red Cliff" back then, you can imagine that the script of this movie had entered the casting period in the movie, but in the end the script was not yet complete.

Similarly, many domestic directors are very capricious.

For example, a certain director asked the screenwriter to revise the script N times, and then, he didn’t use it anymore, so he spent a short time tinkering with it, and then used it.

Yes, that's how willful it is.

The point is, this kind of situation is not uncommon in China.

This is one of the biggest drawbacks of the director responsibility system.

Especially some relatively strong directors, in this regard, can be said to make investors go crazy!

Because they don't care about the market at all, they are completely self-centered.

First is how I want to shoot, and then everything else.

In Hollywood, they have a mature film industry system.

Therefore, generally speaking, no matter how strong a director is, domestic directors will not be so capricious.

First of all, in terms of the script, their script has a clear format, dialogue is dialogue, and action is action. No matter what position the staff is in, they can understand which parts are their own work at a glance.

At this point, it can be said that the country still has a long way to go.

If it is the Hollywood model, no matter how much the cost of the film, you can send professional personnel to the scene, work eight hours a day, and the whole team will call it a day, regardless of whether you have finished filming today or not.

But what about domestically?

The most typical one is Sunglass King, he can shoot a scene over and over again, the key is that he doesn't even know how he wants to shoot.

Many people extolled him, but in fact, a director like Sunglasses King is definitely the worst director in Huaguo, and it can even be said that there is no such thing as one.

Can you imagine a movie that can transform an actor from youth to middle age?

The point is, the movies produced may not be as stunning as they are!

Closer to home.

Wang Yifan smiled again and said, "However, you have to be mentally prepared."

Chen Hang looked at Wang Yifan suspiciously.

"First of all, in North America, unless you can control the dominance, otherwise, you will be very uncomfortable." Wang Yifan said with a smile.

"How do you say that?" Chen Hang frowned and asked.

Although Chen Hang directed co-productions, at that time, he could say he had the absolute right to speak.

Therefore, the reminder to Wang Yifan was somewhat unclear.

"Because, it can be said that there are very strict regulations in all aspects of filming here, such as the daily shooting time, such as the cost of funds, and there are people watching every day. At the same time, the progress, etc., must follow the stipulated time. Done, otherwise, there will be big trouble!"

Yes, Wang Yifan is not talking nonsense.

On the Hollywood side, especially A-level big productions.

But unlike in China, the director has the final say, and there is no need to give a very specific shooting timeline at all.

Things that are often overdue, or postponed, overspending, etc. abound.

But not here in North America!

It's not that it can't be done, but it's troublesome anyway.

Let's put it this way, in China, when you make a budget, it's especially the projects of big directors like Chen Hang.

It doesn't need to be so precise, you just need to give a rough budget.

But here in Hollywood, no!

The budget in any aspect may not necessarily be accurate, but there must be a reasonable range.

If it exceeds, it will be very troublesome.

Because, Hollywood movies have their own system, and it is a very mature system.

Even Wang Yifan himself must follow this system.

For example, insurance!

Every movie must have a completion insurance before it is officially shot.

Especially A-level big productions.

Then, the funds needed for the film will also be supervised by a third party.

For example, when shooting a certain scene, what was originally planned, and then the director suddenly wants to change it, at this time, it will involve the situation of overrun of funds.

Then third-party supervisors will never allow it.

At this time, there is some nonsense.

Therefore, even if it is Wang Yifan's film, he strictly follows the rules and regulations here.

It may be more flexible, but it absolutely does not allow too many violations.

It is naturally uncomfortable for the director to be supervised by others, but it has to be said that this system is indeed very important.

For a director like Sunglasses King, if he were to shoot such an A-level production in Hollywood, he would be cool every minute!

"I'm mentally prepared!" Chen Hang frowned, then said with a smile.

"Well, the rest is related to the issue of dominance. You should have known about the producer-centered system here. Can you accept it?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

Chen Hang frowned and said, "Is it okay? I have also cooperated with Hollywood teams and companies before. Although there are a little more rules and regulations, it is generally based on me. I believe this is not difficult, right?"

Wang Yifan was not as optimistic as Chen Hang, but he didn't pour cold water either.

After all, although Chen Hang has a good relationship with him, that's all.
