1, the director took the script to find an investment company, finalized the plan, and wanted to shoot.
2. The investment company looks for a producer, and the producer, the company and the director decide the investment amount and the starring role. Of course, the producer is mainly responsible.
3. Directing movies (many places are subject to the producers, that is, considering the market)
4. The company carries out editing and publicity (so many films will produce "director's cut version"), and publicity may also be handed over to other companies.
5. The company arranges cinemas or other cinemas to show, and counts the box office to get commission.
6. Film copyright can also be sold for overseas screening or TV screening, and the proceeds go to the investment company.
So movies are an industrial system in the United States, and directors just shoot them.
Directors and producers now generally get a box office commission in addition to their basic remuneration. Like Peter. Jack Sun made "The Lord of the Rings", with a basic salary of only $654.38+0.5 million, but his later box office commission reached 200 million.
