What does a producer do exactly? Like how are they involved in the making of a movie?
sometimes they give money to the filmmakers so they helped
wait for it
PRODUCE the film
>>66579509
They provide the funding so they get input on everything. They basically call the shots.
Producer basically represents a company financing a movie. His role is to make sure enough black actors are cast, that there's a gay character, and white people are playing all the evil roles
They either self finance a film or get money from investors to make a film.

Wait so they have the final creative control over a movie? How often do they exercise this? Like is it common place for a produce to decide what happens in a movie?
If you had a producer you could make a film.
the producer fucks the starlets

>How often do they exercise this?
there are usually two types of executives, although their goal is the same
some are directing or acting in the film, while others are just executive producers (just give money, find sponsors, make contracts, etc.)
the final goal is to get their money back. so yes, if they think the movie won't give money back they might want to make enough changes to ensure that, such as pandering to minorities and liberals
>>66579604
>so they have the final creative control over a movie?
no not always
>is it common place for a produce to decide what happens in a movie?
yeah
A producer in pretty much any sort of entertainment venture is the guy responsible to the investors (or investor themselves) for the product turning out well. This means that they can (and should, despite what many think) inquire into pretty much any aspect and demand changes (and many times they actually have the final word).
It's actually a very important role if the producer is genuinely involved.

two types of producers* oops
>>66579671
yeah, the bottom line is how much money they can get. it has always been like that, even at theater plays
>>66579604
>Like is it common place for a produce to decide what happens in a movie?
Very common place. Only people like big-shot directors like Tarantino or Nolan and obviously Spielberg get the final say on their projects.
They do odd jobs for the director or Studio I suppose and get their name of credited and a bunch of royalties.

If I had a producer, would I die?
producers are the reason that whedon left MCU and edgar wright left ant-man. they're the reason jj abrams bowed out after only one star wars movie.
only big shot directors who can do no wrong like james cameron get more control.
>>66579763
they happen to produce their own movies as well, so they get a saying

they don't pander to faggots and niggers because they feel it's the right thing to do, it's because when they do they get positive media attention and any attention from the media will benefit a film. it's basic advertising - if you're selling a product you want the potential consumers to be aware of it, the more aware they are the more likely they are to do something about it.

Producers are the reason great movies happen too, since they're the ones picking the crew involved.
What's the difference between producer and executive producer?

>>66579604
Depends. JJ had final cut for TFA for example.
They are the upper management for a movie.
Sometimes its a creative collaboration. Like lycas on the Indy movies. Some times they're just the suit that makes sure they don't run over budget.
>>66579873
Executive is like an Honorary Producer. They put money in but they're not the main investors.

Actual knowledgeable person here, my family is in the movie industry.
Producers are like high level managers of the movie, they look for funding, look for locations, help oversee pretty much everything but don't have say on anything contextual such as script or artistic work.
If a Producer happens to be a rich person with influence, then all the better, but they don't have to be. They can be people who have trained to be good at organising movies and understand the rules and regulations etc, but have no assets or money to put in of their own.
>>66579509
On smaller budget productions (anything under $20m) the producer and his/her assistants will organise the entire film, they will oversee everything from logistics to marketing and make sure the whole machine runs as smoothly as possible.
Think of a film production like Cinnabon. And the producer as the regional manager.
The regional manager for Cinnabon never goes and serves people hot gooey delicious buns, but they make sure everything's running smoothly in each store, and in this analogy each store is a department, like costumes or post production.
The regional manager of Cinnabon doesn't go and give advice to a teenage dropout about handling dough, just like a producer doesn't go and tell a focus puller what should be in focus.
I hope this clears things up.

They smoke their $500 cigars, drink their $2000 whiskey while sitting on their $1500 chair in their mohagany office, rubbing their large crooked nose and making calls all day. Meanwhile, under the desk can be found various pre-teen girls, usually the ones you lust after yourself but they get to experience the real thing first hand. The calls involve making sure their companies make the most money possible.
>>66580254
do you work at cinnabon or something? That's a fucked up analogy
A producer is the middle man between the money and the film makers. The money first buys the rights to a movie idea then hires a producer to make the idea a reality.
The producer then hires the film crew and other consultants that the producer believes will work well together to create a favourable product for the money.
The film crew, lead by the director, does the actual heavy lifting in regards to putting the movie together. The producer, during the film making portion, is the go between for the different sections (film crew, writing team, cgi company, sfx company, preproducrion crew).
In real life there is a lot of spill over for the various positions. The money may try to be more hands on and take up some producer roles, the producer may decide to insert himself in the writers team; i heard that on the newest green lantern film the producer where doing some of the directors duties as the hired director was neglecting his job.
As other anons have stated the producer is an upper managment position whose duties depend on how much or little he wants to insert himself.
One of the reason Deadpool ended up being the most faithful comic book movie was Ryan Reynolds also helped produced it. So we got actually YELLOW xmen uniforms and a colossus that doesn't suck.
Normally the producers will send notes to the effect, "why can't the uniforms be black, those look cool and worked for the matrix". The reason why Deadpool in X Men Origins Wolverine was changed was changed was due to the producer saying the character talks too much, so they should sew his mouth shut. They also gave him katana hands because he thought it looked cooler

It works well enough. The lead manager would be the director who is in control of the actual day to day but he runs the shop based on the guidlines given by the producer (regonal manager) who in turn has his expectations from the studio (franchise head).
>>66579826
>they don't pander to faggots and niggers because they feel it's the right thing to do
Yeah they do. That shit doesn't fly internationally. China literally photoshops out black actors on the adverts.
>>66581306
Deadpool worked well because all members of the team worked together instead of at odds.
Nothing wrong with producers inserting their ideas into a movie, after all they have certain expectations from the studio. The problem comes when changes happen without informing the rest of the team. If the director has one idea, the writer some other idea, and the producer also wants something and no attempt his made to consolidate the production stalls, money is wasted and shit just doesn't get done.

Actors are essentially people who serve you Cinnabons, and the sweet delicious bun itself is a culmination of the narrative, cinematography, VFX etc.
The buns may look delicious, but if the guy serving you fucks up your order or drops the bun it detracts from the bun as a whole.
Now directors are like line managers, the tell the actors how they want the buns to be delivered.
How come Harvey Weinstein is always pictured with all the leading actresses if he isn't involved in the actual filming of the movies?
>>66581887
he also gets all the Oscars for Best Picture
>>66581858
So in this analogy, producers are the number crunchers at corporate who manage the supply chain, making sure your Cinnabon and other products A) get delivered and B) do not contain rat feces?
And Harvey Weinstein is that one high up (chief financial officer, executive vice president, etc) who offers to fund a franchise if you let him fuck you while you blow his brother?
>>66579509
they fuck the actresses
>>66581991
No the producers would be the ones that hire all the staff and then travel around to all the stores under their supervision to insure that they are functioning to the standard expected by the franchise heads.
Number crunchers would be the studio accountants.
>>66579604
>Wait so they have the final creative control over a movie?
Differs between contracts. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, but they always have weight in all decisions either way.
>How often do they exercise this?
Again, depends on the film, the company, the crew etc. etc.
Sometimes it means a film gets changed from an R rating to a PG13. Sometimes it means instead of an actress he wants a director will have to work with some nobody with no talent who sucked the producer's dick. Sometimes they rewrite the entire script. Sometimes they don't input anything creatively and just provide/manage the money.
>Like is it common place for a produce to decide what happens in a movie?
Yes. You know how Hollywood is run by Jews? Those are the producers. For Hollywood especially they run pretty much the entire show.
>>66581010
sounds like a pretty standard analogy to me desu family, most people have some understanding of how food chains operate
>>66580254
>hot gooey delicious buns
>>66581858
>the sweet delicious bun
Stop viralling your shit here Cinnabon
They take care of the logistical side of filmmaking, making sure actors are available, making sure locations are available, shit like that.
This is the case in indie films, and smaller productions anyway. On bigger films, they literally hand that shit down to production assistants and sit on the side line pretending they have meaningful influence, while throwing money at the director.

Producers do more than just "give/provide money" for a film (production) to be made. They are actually heavily involved in the making of a movie. It's funny because in most cases "producers" don't usually give their own money to produce a film, that's just a huge misconception that plebs and normies for some reason like to believe. They see "producer" and immediately assume that's the guy paying for the flick.
Producers manage a film either on an executive/administrative level or manage a production on day-to-day basis. They oversee and manage a film's budget, the casting and hiring, the more business-oriented aspects of a production, and/or oversee that everything is going according to plan and on schedule, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's their money they are playing with. Although some producers do finance the movies they make themselves in hollywood, most "producers" get funding from studios, and they do so by pitching ideas, which of course have to be accepted before getting made.
What most normies and plebs don't realize is that "producers" have an enormous amount of creative control, obviously more so than the director. Directors are hired by producers to make the films they want. The studios in turn then finance those films based on the idea that it will make them a profit.
