What is a filmmaker?

Have the right to decide all matters of filming, including what kind of script to shoot, hire directors, photographers, actors and send filmmakers to manage the filming funds, review the filming funds and control the whole filming process. After the film is finished, the producer will develop and print the film and publicize and sell it to the market. The producer's job is mainly to plan the production schedule, arrange the daily production schedule, find the production team/production company and win over foreign investors. At the same time, he must cooperate with the executive production to ensure that each component of the plan can be combined correctly on time.

Which is bigger, the producer or the director?

Actually, this is not good. Absolutely.

Producers are bigger, if anything, because producers are generally directors in charge of money. The producer's opinion should be considered when shooting. You can't shoot if you want. In addition, the subsequent distribution matters are operated by the producer. Sometimes when the director and the producer disagree on the shooting scene, most of them have to listen to the producer, because the producer considers the interests and the market, so the producer is bigger.

Give a few examples.

For example, Li Xiang and his current director husband, Li, started as investors and producers. His husband is a director, and Li, as a producer, knows more about TV publicity, so you saw that "Stunning Beauty" was fired because Li knew.

There are also Chai Zhiping and Director Cai from Taiwan Province Province. Chai is the producer, and everyone in the crew can't help but listen to her, including Director Cai.

But then again, this relationship is really not good. It is definitely better than the producer completely believing that there is no question of who listens to whom.
