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. After the film is finished, the producer will develop and print the film and publicize and sell it to the market. Producers generally refer to the owners or management agents of film companies.

2. The producer is responsible for the market research in the early stage of the film to see whether the film market of similar films has prospects (such as box office situation, popularity, possibility of sequels, etc.). ), and through the investigation to decide whether the film is worth making. If the answer is yes, then they will find their film group to invest in producers and related personnel and start choosing directors, scripts, actors, sponsors and so on.

Producers are usually the legal representatives of the main funders or the big names in the film and television circle who are helpful to film sales. Producer is the soul of the whole film, which determines the style, category and market trend of the film.

3. Publishers make copies, apply for keys, schedule, send copies to cinemas, do publicity, buy advertisements, talk about the proportion, and sign contracts with cinemas (although many of these parts are signed by small and medium-sized companies). There are also physical activities, such as sending dozens of people to cinemas all over the country for activities, publicity, advertising space in cinemas, watching ostentation and extravagance, scrutinizing tickets and so on.

Extended data:

Film is an art, and human beings know the exact time of its birth and its growth process. It is a rapidly developing and influential media since the 20th century, and it is a creative industry of politics, economy and culture. Since the end of 19, film inventors in France, the United States and other regions have successively invented technologies and machines that can imitate the photoacoustic recording and restoration of human eyes and ears. Since its birth, this film technology has been developed into film business by entrepreneurs, ideology by politicians, film art by artists and film theory by researchers. A film history is also a history in which filmmakers explore the laws of films.

Businessmen first saw that film was a profitable invention and quickly established the original film company. At the beginning of the 20th century, film companies concentrated their funds on establishing production bases, purchasing expensive production equipment, raising funds to make feature films, and relying on a large number of audiences to collectively buy tickets to watch movies for profit. This has formed the embryonic form of commercial film production and sales model. May Li Ai's Star Film Company, Edison Trust Company and Bevograve Trust Company are the representatives of early film companies.

The emergence and development of film language and film art are closely related to the director's practice and theoretical exploration. At first, the producer of vaudeville was the embryonic form of the director. With the exploration of film forms and film features, early film art explorers such as Lumiere Brothers, Georges Méliès, Edwin Porter and Griffith appeared one after another. These film pioneers have expanded the possibilities of film language and film creativity. Early film creation, film management and film exploration are trinity. At this time, filmmakers are also explorers of film language, film operators, and the embryonic form of fully functional filmmakers.
