The Director of Music Department

After hearing Wang Yifan's words, everyone shook their heads secretly.

This is completely standing and talking without back pain.

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

They're all bad scripts.

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

"Director Wang, of course we know Hollywood's attitude towards our Chinese directors, but if we don't give it a try, we will never be reconciled. Therefore, we still need Director Wang's help in this regard." Zhou Zhan said with a wry smile.

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 has a literary style in his bones.

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

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

Look at these great directors present, even if it is Ma Qingshan, in fact, he became famous because he won awards abroad.

And Zhou Zhan also took the route of Ma Qingshan in his early years, but the three major European film festivals have long since ceased to be the three major European film festivals.

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

Then the Hollywood Oscar is undoubtedly the place Zhou Zhan yearns for the most.

Wang Yifan shook his head, then said with a smile: "Actually, Hollywood's model is quite different from ours in China. The movie "Rest of a Deserted Island" is a one-man show because of its special circumstances. It is said that it is James Lister's one-man show, and the director's role in it will not be too great. For this reason, James Lister is willing to accept Chen Shaojun as the director of this movie, but in fact, other movies, we Chinese Directors who want to direct are really not as free as you think. Director Chen Hang should have a deep understanding of this. You can ask Director Chen Hang about his experience in Hollywood."

Everyone looked at Chen Hang.

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

Seeing that everyone was 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 these 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 when it comes to filming.

The directors of these co-productions can all be said to have domestic giants standing behind them, so the degree of freedom, or bias, naturally favors domestic directors!

"Is there any difference? Director Chen, tell me quickly." Zhou Zhan looked at Chen Hang with some doubts and asked.

Chen Hang nodded and said: "Actually, I had the same idea as you at first, thinking that I have directed all the movies with a larger investment in co-productions, and I also cooperated with Hollywood teams at the beginning, so what else can I do?" different?"

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

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

"They are indeed very professional, but the problem is that I took over the Mina Group's A-level production. This film has no Chinese capital, and I am just a pure director."

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

Chen Hang nodded and said, "What kind of producer do you imagine?"

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

In fact, it is not surprising that Zhou Zhan would think so. In fact, Zhou Zhan is different from other directors, because he was in the literary and artistic film industry in his early years.

As for Hollywood movies, to be honest, independent movies are actually no different from the literary and artistic film circles in China. Most of the time, they are director-centered.

Only commercial blockbusters will truly highlight the core of the producer-centered system.

Even for some medium-investment films, the producer-centered system is not so thorough.

Therefore, in Zhou Zhan's view, the producer-centered system is nothing more than a matter other than the film. The producer is in charge, and the film is still in charge of the director.

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

Including Chen Hang!

Seeing that everyone had this reaction, Chen Hang couldn't help but glanced at Wang Yifan, and then said with a wry smile: "I thought so too at first, but in fact, when you really receive a movie with A-level investment, then this From time to time, you will find that our directors are basically tool people in the film crew!"

"Perhaps you may think that what I said is too exaggerated? In fact, it is not exaggerated at all. Can you imagine the casting director, why would you dare to confront me?" The filmmakers teamed up to pose together, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly.

"Isn't it? The casting director dares to go against the director?" Zhou Zhan asked, "Aren't you fooling me?"

In fact, it’s not surprising that Zhou Zhan thought so.

The real reason is that in China, there is no position of casting director at all. Most of the time, it is decided jointly by the director and the investor.

As for the investors, fortresses, for big directors like them, they are at most a supporting role or something.

The protagonist and the like are always decided by the director.

Chen Hang shook his head and said, "That's not all. In our country, most of the time, the producer is in charge of logistics and things other than filming. However, in Hollywood, the producer is completely free to direct. , especially gold medal producers, we outsiders, those teams, no one will recognize you as soon as you come, and gold medal producers are completely different!"

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

"Thousands of new scripts appear in Hollywood every year, but only a few hundred are finally produced. In fact, among these hundreds of movies, most of the A-level big productions, except for some IP scripts, otherwise, the vast majority Most of the time, a project is started by a gold medal producer. They may have an idea, and then put forward this idea and start the project. Yes, they all have a producer first, then a script, and then a director The selection of candidates, and the formation of the crew, are usually set up by the producer. Therefore, the big-name producer can control the entire crew, and the director is often only responsible for shooting the movie, and the things that are shot every few days, the producer He will look at it, and if he thinks something is wrong or dissatisfied, he will ask to re-shoot..."
