Most producers know about film art creation, audience psychology and market information, are good at raising funds and are familiar with management. In film production, the producer is sometimes called the producer. Generally speaking, "producer" is an investor or someone who can attract sponsorship.

Producer, also known as "producer", refers to the investor of the film. The commercial nature of the film determines that the producer is the owner of a film, and has the right to decide all the affairs of filming, including what kind of script to shoot, hiring directors, photographers and actors, and sending filmmakers to manage the filming funds, audit the filming funds and control the whole filming process.

Production manager (literally translated as production manager) is a middle-level post in film production, responsible for specific operational affairs and responsible for directors and producers.

In the film crew, production and overall planning are two positions.

Producers are divided into many departments. Life producers are managers who manage the life and logistics of the crew, eat, drink and sleep. On-site production is the discipline of on-site management to ensure the smooth creation of the main creative department; The producer is the manager who manages the production and display of the scenes of the crew (in the previous film studio, the producer was also responsible for the shooting plan of which crew); Outreach producer, as the name implies, is the manager who contacts the crew to shoot the scene outside (just like the public relations department of a unit); Each production department has a production director, and the production director has an executive producer (some directly face the producer, and the executive producer is between the production director and the producer). There are several spectators, all of whom are people who do some concrete things. The people in the production department do not participate in the whole artistic creation of the crew, which is equivalent to the logistics department of a unit.

As a whole, it is equivalent to the role of the office director of a unit in the crew, belonging to the director department and responsible for the shooting plan of a drama. Everything you want to shoot every day should be arranged as a whole and coordinated with various departments. First, whether the scene of the art department can be successfully completed, whether the actors are in place, whether the production department can contact the venue well, and also communicate with the director to shoot for a few days, what to shoot first, etc., are important things for the crew. As our crew, there is a special coordinator to coordinate the scene with you. The daily shooting plan is arranged by the director and photographer himself.

The recording group has a sound engineer and a sound engineer.

In addition to actors, there are producers or producers and screenwriters who write lyrics, compose music and sing.

The producer or producer is the general manager of the film, equivalent to the chairman of the company. When there is a producer and a producer, the producer is hired by the producer, and the producer is the head of the big production unit, but the responsibility for the production of the film is the same. The main content of the producer's work is to be responsible for organizing, formulating the production plan and budget of film and television dramas and supervising their implementation. When there is no script or the script is immature, the producer is also responsible for organizing the necessary script creation. Producers have an important responsibility to decide the style of film and television, including the composition of the main members of the film crew, including the director, and the candidates for the main actors. In the case of insufficient budget, the producer is also responsible for raising funds. Some manufacturers are responsible for distribution.

The producer is responsible to the producer and is his main assistant. The main work is to assist the producers in preparing the budget of film and television drama, making shooting plans, ensuring the normal operation of the film crew and controlling capital expenditure. According to the authorization and requirements of the producer, the production director will also contact the location and contact personnel on behalf of the film crew to coordinate and sign the agreement. Now, there is also a saying that an associate producer actually performs the duties that a producer should perform, and sometimes this title is awarded to the production director or deputy director in recognition of their contributions more than once.

The producer is equivalent to the assistant of the producer and director. His main job is to coordinate the operation of the shooting scene, manage the life logistics and vehicle scheduling, and coordinate the art props. Producers are responsible to producers and directors and have no independent decision-making power. Others are life production directors.

The deputy director is also responsible for the main copywriting work in the filming process, such as the actor scheduling plan, filming preview, film and television drama submission, etc.

The assistant director assists the director in handling the daily chores of the director group.

Diary, as an important member of the director group, is responsible for recording everything that happened in the shooting process in detail on the storyboard, such as the name of the scene, the number of shots, the plane position, the dialogue, the convergence of performances, the length of shots, the use of main props and the director's evaluation of shots. These are used as reference for shooting scenes and post-editing. Powerful live notes can time the script. Some field notes try every scene in the storyboard with scripts and stopwatches. After years of practice, they have formed an extremely accurate judgment in calculating the screening time of the script scene, so that the script can avoid unnecessary materials and determine the accurate amount for the investment budget.

Martial arts dramas and other dramas also have special action directors or stunt directors, and some also have line directors, who are responsible for reviewing the lines with the actors before each shooting. If an actor wants to use a special accent or dialect, the director who is good at this language should train and guide the actor on the spot.

The photographer is responsible to the director. They use cameras to shoot movies and cameras to shoot TV, but people collectively call them photographers. Mainly responsible for the screen modeling of film and television dramas, and obtaining the most suitable photographic images for film and television dramas. Photographers choose cameras and their auxiliary equipment, determine the lighting equipment, supervise the work of the photography team and the lighting team, and decide the light distribution and lens exposure of each scene according to the content of the film and television drama and the requirements of the director. There is a chief photographer in the large film crew, who mainly guides and coordinates the photographer's work.

Assistant photographers assist photographers in shooting, coordinate with other departments on behalf of the photography team, and some operate cameras.

The photography assistant assists the photographer to check the machine and participate in the shooting experiment. When shooting, you need to measure the light, check the exposure and take stills. There are also assistants who are responsible for collecting and keeping loading and unloading films and tapes (film for movies, tape for TV), making photographic records and other copywriting, and contacting the printer.

Lighting engineers are also called illusionists and lighting technicians. Their main job is to complete various lighting effects according to the content of the film and television drama and the intention of the photographer. The lighting assistant assists the lighting engineer and is responsible for the safe use of electricity and lamps.

The artist is responsible for the modeling of film and television dramas. In the preparation stage of shooting, the artist should work with the director and photographer to draw various modeling designs, including scene design, character modeling design, prop design and lens screen design, according to the hypothetical scene of the script and the director's intention. At the same time, they should organize and guide the work of clothing, makeup, props, scenery, painting scenes, stunt art and subtitles during the shooting process.

Artist assistants include assistant artists and art assistants. A large-scale crew will have a chief artist.

Fashion designers determine the design of clothes according to the designs of directors and artists, and make and buy them. Costume assistant is a costume clerk, who is responsible for the management and registration of costumes, the connection of actors' costumes during shooting, and the distribution of a large number of extras' costumes.

The makeup artist designs the makeup modeling of the characters, guides the production of various spare parts needed for makeup, and completes the fitting and modeling of the characters. In shooting, he is responsible for maintaining the continuity of character modeling and accurately portraying different images of characters with the changes of age, environment and mood. The makeup assistant is a makeup assistant, who is responsible for the makeup artist, prepares the budget to buy cosmetics, and is responsible for the makeup of minor figures. There are hair stylists in costume dramas and some dramas, who are responsible for the modeling and production of wigs. There is also a body makeup artist who is responsible for the makeup of the actors below the neck. Now there are hand models and subdivided ones.

The owner is responsible for the artistic creation of the prop department. Design, organize, make and purchase all kinds of props. The assistant is a prop man, who assists the prop master in preparing the props for each scene, maintaining the current props, ensuring the connection during jumping, and installing, adjusting and disassembling the props. There are also plant props and animal props Fireworks belong to the category of props, but some have fireworks technicians, and the scenery also belongs to the category of props, including carpenters, bricklayers, painters, welders, curtain workers, paperhangers and other technicians.

There is also an important technician, some of whom are classified as directors and action directors in martial arts dramas, and some are classified as art groups, who are responsible for stunt modeling in film and television dramas. Now the concept of specialized technicians has changed a lot. Due to the extensive use of digital technology, the content of special effects has become diverse and complex. Many of them appeared in post-production.

The sound engineer is responsible for the design and creation of sound, and the recording assistant is responsible for the maintenance and storage of all sound equipment, assisting the sound engineer in site selection, operating the boom of the microphone, straightening and connecting mobile cables, etc. Recording is now divided into simultaneous recording and post-recording, as well as dubbing. Because of the need to mix on multiple microphones, the sound engineer is also called a mixer. Now, according to the TV station, some are also called audio personnel and video personnel.

As the name implies, a screenwriter can understand the lyrics, compose music and sing. Generally, the lyricist is not a member of the cast. Screenwriting is an important part, and some directors also participate in modifying the script. Some directors are directors because they want to write storyboards and explain them at the same time. If the director is a producer, screenwriter and star, he will certainly make greater contributions.

The main members of the film crew are selected by producers, directors and production directors. The selection of the above behind-the-scenes staff should not take much thought. Basically, I can use my own people in the center. I just need to choose the department head. Some leaders of these departments have their own assistants and equipment. The choice of actors is more troublesome. Although the center has its own artists' brokerage department and signed many actors, with the shooting of different new dramas, the behind-the-scenes personnel may not change much, but the actors are the biggest variable. Moreover, in order to encourage artists in their own brokerage departments, to find new people to reduce costs or to implement the star system, of course, the audience's love of the new and dislike of the old are also factors to be considered, so we should select some actors from the society from time to time.

I don't think it is possible to choose Hong Kong and Taiwan stars for costume martial arts dramas with a budget of12 million, and mainland celebrities dare not use them. Although the mainland film and television market is now more violent than Hong Kong and Taiwan, and a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors work in the mainland to earn money, any crew in the mainland can find Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who have lost their lives. Although some of them have lost their value, the average price of 40 TV dramas in the mainland is 2 to 3 million yuan. Of course, film and television stars who are not angry will not easily appear in TV dramas. After all, movies represent personal artistic achievements and can be more famous internationally. In the past, a Hong Kong actor was invited to film in the mainland, and the box office income in Beijing was just enough for him, and the box office in Beijing was almost half of the whole box office. Therefore, for our investment of12 million, we simply can't afford such Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. The price of angry young Hong Kong and Taiwan singers and artists who just started to become popular is lower, but it is only a few million. Outdated movie stars and artists who have appeared in TV series are generally very powerful, so the price is as good as that of popular minority.

Budgets are usually divided into online project expenses and offline project expenses. Online project fees include the fees for hiring producers, directors, screenwriters and starring actors, which are generally fixed. Offline expenses are all other expenses, including the use of extras, technicians and equipment.

For film and television dramas with high budgets, online expenses account for one-third and offline expenses account for two-thirds. Generally speaking, stories and scripts account for 5%, producers and directors account for 5%, actors account for 20%, and other expenses are equipment and related personnel, including tax insurance and emergency expenses. Regardless of whether the budget is large or small, the cost of offline project personnel generally accounts for 10% to 15%, ranging from 8% to 25%. There are also some special effects and exotic scenery, and the offline cost is higher.

Stories and scripts account for 5% to 600,000, because sometimes copyright and adaptation are involved, and 600,000 can't be beaten. For example, the film adaptation copyright of a famous writer's martial arts novel sells for 800,000 yuan, sometimes he only sells for one yuan. In addition, the price of a screenwriter may be tens of thousands to two hundred thousand, almost one million. A screenwriter's salary is no more at home than abroad. Of course, it means that compared with other crew members, it is much better than writing novels, which is why many famous writers were electrocuted. cite
