America is in control

Chapter 113 The status of the producer and the fate of the traitor
Slowly closing the script, General Liu couldn't calm down for a long time.

This is undoubtedly an extremely depressing story. The sadness and despair between the lines are almost overwhelming, and it makes people unable to calm down for a long time.

But this is not what a commercial film should be like!

TNND, I have never encountered an art film!

Forget it, art films are art films, now is not the time to be picky.

Liu Jiang raised his head and looked at Nicholas, who was still immersed in the world constructed by the script.

He was vaguely worried. Although the story was pretty good, it was not easy to play the alcoholic character well.

The drunken state is not so easy to control, unless you really become a drunkard.

After Nicholas finished reading the script, General Liu kindly reminded him a few words.

"Nick, this role is not easy to play!"

"You don't get drunk over a movie."

"That's not a good thing for you!"

Nicholas smiled and didn't take General Liu's suggestion to heart at all.

"John, this is nothing you should worry about."

"I feel like this role was tailor-made for me."

"I don't have to act at all, I can interpret this role well by showing my true qualities."

Shrugging, since the other party was so confident, General Liu had nothing to say.

Let go of the need to help others and respect the fate of others.

General Liu is not a holy mother. If you need to remind him, just remind him in place.

In the following days, in addition to training, Liu Jiang would go to the set to observe whenever he had time.

He quickly became familiar with Mark Fisher, one of the film's producers.

Following Mark, Liu Jiang learned a lot.

He gradually understood the difference between the producer-centered system and the director-centered system.

To put it simply, whoever has the most say is the center.

In the United States, directors serve producers, and producers serve investors.

The investor is equivalent to the company owner, the producer is equivalent to the project manager, and the director is equivalent to the programmer team leader.

The purpose of a producer completing a film is to make money for investors.

From the beginning of a film project, the producer must control the entire process.

Usually, a good story is used as a starting point to select a script or select a screenwriter to create a script.

Then estimate the prospects of the film project and determine the cost budget.

Then take the project evaluation letter and cost budget form to find investors to attract investment.

Once the investment is confirmed, the producer will divide the funds for directors, actors, pre-production, post-production and other parts according to the cost budget.

And determine what level of personnel to look for based on the funds divided into each department.

Once the personnel are finalized, the producer will work with the director to finalize all shooting matters.

Then develop a rigorous and precise pre- and post-production plan.

Under normal circumstances, the director must strictly follow the plan made by the producer.

If the director is stubborn and wants to express his freedom, the producer has the power to fire the director.

Otherwise, he may be fired by the investors!
Producers need to ensure that there are no major mistakes in the actual shooting and shooting plans.

After filming, the producer will also be deeply involved in post-production and marketing.

The producer's work isn't over until the movie is released, or even when the video tape goes on sale. This is the industrial production model of Hollywood movies, and producers enjoy a great say.

After thoroughly understanding the status of a producer in Hollywood, Liu Jiang became more determined to become a producer.

There were so many box-office hits in the previous life. If I were just a director, it would be impossible to roughly reproduce them.

If you become a producer, you only need to grasp the three cores of script, director, and actor.

It will also be possible to roughly replicate some box office successful movies.

When the time comes, if you play both the roles of investor and producer, you won't be able to make a lot of money.

You will also have the opportunity to meet some of the most stunning beauties in Hollywood, and make money while realizing your dreams, wouldn’t it be wonderful!

From then on, Liu will spend more and more time in the crew.

He was like a sponge, soaking up the knowledge of American industrial filmmaking.

Seeing his correct attitude, Mark also became interested in talents.

Faced with General Liu's inquiries, Mark did not hesitate to teach him and taught him many secrets in the industry.

Time flies, and the pre-production work of "Leaving Las Vegas" is coming to an end.

Liu Jiang lived a fulfilling life during this period.

Through his own exploration and Mark's careful teaching, he took a solid first step on the road to becoming a producer.

Of course, General Liu is also making steady progress on other matters.

After Yahoo received a total investment of US$200 million from Caesars Investment Company and Sequoia Capital, it immediately began to form a management team.

Jerry Yang and David first appointed their Stanford University engineering alumnus Tim Kago as CEO.

This person once worked for Motorola and is a very capable professional manager.

Then they appointed Jeffrey Mallett, who was the head of the consumer department of Knoller & Perfect Documents, as COO.

General Liu originally wanted to arrange for Harvey or Li Chengxiong to join Yahoo to act as his agent.

But after several discussions with his confidants, General Liu gave up the idea and just arranged for a financial person to go in.

Because this is what Sequoia Capital does, Liu Jiang will naturally follow suit.

After Yahoo expanded its personnel, it was fully equipped with troops and sufficient food and grass, and it quickly got on the right track.

The number of page visits and pageviews has increased rapidly, attracting many companies who want to advertise on Yahoo.

Yahoo is slowly starting to make profits, and the company's prospects for development are promising.

Liu has also developed his company very well, and the new Caesars Sporting Goods Company is running well.

After a period of hot sales of the Boxing Magic Ball, sales began to maintain a stable range.

The research on blended fabrics led by Jacob is also proceeding step by step.

Although no results have been produced yet, the path is obviously on the right track.

Just wait and see when the results will be available!

The traitor Ron also got his due end. After a period of investigation, Ray finally caught Ron's handle.

Ron's name turned out to be fake, and his real name was William Abagnale.

This person is a repeat offender who has been suspected of fixing games and committed several felonies.

After changing his name, he met Brandon, tried every means to gain his trust, and joined General Liu's logistics team.

Ray handed all the evidence anonymously to the LVPD, so Ron (William) offered a job working on a sewing machine.

However, he had only been sewing for a few days when his arms were broken due to a conflict between prisoners.

This is the fate of a traitor, who can't even step on a sewing machine in peace!
