What is the producer's main job?

Producers, like businessmen, manage the project management of the whole movie, TV movie or TV series, including fund raising, finding or buying movie scripts, finding, hiring, appointing and scheduling actors, cooperative manufacturers and staff, budget control, shooting time and schedule control, etc. So that the film can be completed within a reasonable time and budget.

In the process of filming, the producer's every move can easily affect the quality of the whole film, which is an indispensable position.

In areas where commercial films are developed, many experienced and successful filmmakers can ask for what direction and style to shoot, even surpass the director to become the leader of the film content and become the most powerful person in the film production process. Outstanding people include Xiang Watson, Xiang Huaqiang, Jerry Bruckheimer, Joel Silver and george lucas.

However, now many actors or directors in China are producers, and they are becoming widely independent. Outstanding directors include Tsui Hark and Chen Kexin, Du Qifeng, Wong Kar-wai and Jing Wong. The actors include Stephen Chow and Andy Lau, Sammo Hung and Li Xiuxian.

Extended data:

Usually, many people confuse producers with producers, but there is a big difference between them.

If the enterprise is defined as a metaphor, the producer is equivalent to the chairman (investor, enterprise legal person or authoritative person), and the producer is like the president (in charge of the overall situation), demanding to know books, understand the market, build a crew, perform filming, post-production and release.

More importantly, budget control, shooting time schedule control and so on, so that the film or TV series can be completed within a reasonable time and budget. In the process of filming, the producer's every move can easily affect the quality of the whole film, which is an indispensable position.

In China, because the signature of film and television works is not clearly regulated, many producers are also the position of signature producers, which leads to disputes among experts in the industry. The producer's artistic gold content in film and television works can't be defined and distinguished. Although the producer pays more and contributes a lot to the success of a work, it is impossible to set up an award for the producer because the signatures of the producer and the producer are confused and indistinguishable.
