In fact, the producer is a high professional, under the guidance of which the success of the film project is fully solved. Integrate in the project of a knowledgeable producer - it means to solve the problem more than half. Consider in more detail who is such a producer in the movie and what he is doing.
Peculiarities
The profession of producer appeared in 1910 in American Hollywood. "Factory Gree" by that time was already a powerful industry. However, for a successful film business, it is necessary to invest money, organize, improve the technique, make massive shooting, negotiate with talented actors and others. So there was a need for a specialist who would have the skills of a merchant, fondly focused in art. In other words, it would harmoniously combine creative inclinations and a business man's challenges in business.
A significant impetus for the emergence of the profession was television. After all, the position of teleproducer is a little different from the film producer, except for the product of labor. In the developing online industry, it is also not to do without good organizers and project managers.
In Russia, the first openers of this profession were, perhaps, V. Nemirovich-Danchenko (author of the idea of the new theater), as well as the "Lokomotiv of Art" S. Dyagilev, who organized the famous "Russian seasons" in Paris.

- The main task is to choose the real team of specialists for the purpose of the real team, which will be completely able to solve it in millions of times better, better than one person rather than; Such use of the synergy effect is the right way to success!
Profession requires high leadership qualities, commercial abilities are multiple more than creative inclinations. Nevertheless, individual personalities are successfully combined by the production, directing and even acting role. Such universals are rare.
Among them are the most bright stars: S. Spielberg, K. Tarantino, R. Zeekis, N. Mikhalkov, F. Bondarchuk.
