1137. Killing chickens to warn monkeys is the kingly way
In the end, Chen Hang chose to cooperate with Mina Group.
Nothing else, "Trumen's World" was previously distributed by Mina Group.
Moreover, Mina Group is the most sincere, Chen Hang, who is also in "Electronic Crisis", also believes that it is more suitable for himself at this stage.
Because this movie is also a typical Hollywood commercial blockbuster.
After the decision, Chen Hang was also decisive and this project was actually very mature.
Because of the project "Electronic Crisis", Mina Group has actually started preparing for it.
Unlike a domestic film, usually initiated by a director. In Hollywood, most projects, unless they are top directors, are initiated by senior producers most of the time.
"Electronic Crisis" is no exception.
This project was a top producer of Mina Group. Robert Kubo took the lead in taking a look at it and then led the project.
Robert Kubo is a top Hollywood producer and has produced many big-name blockbusters.
However, what Chen Hang didn't know was that the reason why the director of "Electronic Crisis" chose him was, on the one hand, because he performed very well in "Trumen's World".
But on the other hand, it is because of Robert Coober.
The director is responsible in China.
In a movie, the director is basically the biggest in the crew. Many powerful directors can even be said that the crew is basically his one-man show.
Most of the time, producers even need to do a good job in logistics.
But Hollywood is different.
A top producer is much stronger than those directors.
In China, the presence of producers has always been very weak.
But abroad, especially in Hollywood, many producers can get higher pay than many directors.
Although Robert Kubo is a man with great awesome experience and high grades, he also has his shortcomings, that is, he is strong and very strong!
Therefore, the director of "Electronic Crisis" is difficult to produce. As a result, such a movie is definitely not qualified for ordinary directors.
After all, it is a large A-level production.
Although it is said that the producer is responsible, the director is actually equally important.
But the big director will definitely not be willing to work with an extremely powerful producer like Robert Coobo.
Who will you listen to then?
Most of the time, great directors will not choose to work with such powerful producers.
It’s not that big directors can change the producer system in Hollywood, but that most of the time, big directors will also be producers.
But if there are two strong and experienced people in the same crew, then who will listen to?
But "Electronic Crisis" does require a director with strength but not so strong, so Chen Hang appeared.
Of course, Chen Hang is not a novice director.
When he took on this movie, he also put forward a lot of conditions.
Except for the final editing rights, Mina Group has never delegated power. In other aspects, Chen Hang has won the "best conditions"!
For example, the choice of actors.
As a director, Chen Hang is professional.
When he decided to take over this movie, he had already studied the scripts of the movie.
This naturally also includes the selection of suitable actors.
Chen Hang has his own set of ideas in the casting of "Electronic Crisis".
But as a result, Chen Hang found that it was not what he imagined.
At the beginning, although the final editing rights were not fully obtained, Mina Group agreed to let him participate in the final editing.
This is the best condition he can win.
Mina Group also agreed that the choice of main roles is mainly based on Chen Hang's opinions.
But when it was time to the real casting, Chen Hang realized that he trusted too much in the so-called contract spirit.
The casting director, producer, as well as the screenwriter and original author of "Electronic Crisis", all participated in the selection of the protagonist.
As a result, Chen Hang found himself isolated intentionally or unintentionally.
Producer Robert Coo, although he did not express his opinion from beginning to end.
But at the casting meeting, there was still a quarrel.
Chen Hang found that his status in the crew was not that high.
It can be said that the gap is too big.
In China, even if he is "The World of Truman", he has Hua Xin's participation and Wang Yifan as the screenwriter, but he is basically determined by his words.
He decided to choose whoever he chose.
He thought so at first here.
Therefore, when Mina Group gave several alternatives, Chen Hang did not think there was anything wrong with it.
But in the end, he found out that he was wrong.
For example, he felt that an actor performed the best during audition and was most in line with his wishes.
However, as a result, casting director, executive director, screenwriter, original author and others were able to give a lot of disagreements.
Then the candidates they launched were all agreed by others.
Of course, Chen Hang can use his veto power, but in this way, he will break up.
At first, Chen Hang compromised on some more important supporting roles, but he thought that in this way, when it comes to the decision of the main role, others will support him.
But he was wrong in publishing himself.
With Robert Coobo's acquiesce, Chen Hang was completely isolated.
In the end, Chen Hang exploded!
Then, Robert Coobo spoke.
He supported Chen Hang!
The final result!
Chen Hang's will has been implemented!
But is this really the case?
Normally, Chen Hang's will has been implemented, which is a good thing, and he should be happy.
But in fact, he was not happy at all.
Because of his decision, he would be questioned in various ways, and even the scene would be out of control for a while.
But as a producer Robert Coobert, as soon as he spoke, everyone else shut up.
He lost his voice!
And this is unbearable for Chen Hang.
This is just the beginning of casting. There will definitely be more trouble waiting for him in the next shooting.
He even thought at one point whether he was really not suitable for Hollywood.
"They didn't take me seriously at all. I don't understand. Since they were looking for a tool man, why do you still look for me? Do I look so much like a tool man?" Chen Hang found Wang Yifan and complained.
There is no way, he is here, there is not even a person to talk.
Wang Yifan listened to Chen Hang's complaints, to be honest, he was not surprised at all.
"This is Hollywood. Did you think at first that you compromise in some aspects and they will compensate you in other aspects?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
Chen Hang nodded, then said self-deprecatingly: "I'm so self-righteous. This is Hollywood, not China."
"Yes, you shouldn't compromise from the beginning. A strong producer like Robert Coobo, his strength does not mean that he will interfere in everything, but his laissez-faire. You shouldn't compromise from the beginning because this is your right!"
"What should I do?" Chen Hang asked with some distress.
Wang Yifan smiled, although he didn't think Chen Hang could stand here, or at least not now.
But as a friend, he was still willing to give him advice.
"First of all, you must be good at using your own rights and killing chickens to scare the monkeys. Looking around the world, it is common." Wang Yifan stopped.
In fact, when Wang Yifan came here to shoot the movie, the filming of "Mad Max: The Furious Road" was not so smooth at the beginning.
However, Wang Yifan did not spoil the disobedient, or deliberately challenging his authority, and after that, everyone became low-key.
Chapter completed!
