PROLOGUE
FORTY YEARS IN A HAREM
The author discusses the struggles of the Producer Coterie in Hollywood, arguing that everyone was lying and that the best interest of one person was to benefit themselves. They argue that Hollywood lacks an organization, but it possesses a culture that grows from the fact that everyone is ogging nonsense.
The author also discusses the assumption that the earth is burning or Mickey Mouse is funny, and how those who hold the high ground exhort or extort agreement. They also discuss the importance of artistic creation and the conflict between artists and executives in the industry.
The author began his career in Hollywood at the top as a noted and successful playwright, but he was always looking to better capitalize his stock and time. He was a noted and successful playwright who was always looking to better capitalize his stock and time. His stock-in-trade was dramatic writing, which he believed was the construction of a plot.
As a director, he did ten features and wrote forty or so scripts, half of which were made. However, no one ever liked them save the actors and the audience. The author reflects on the insiders of Hollywood, including the freaks, frauds, recovering virgins, betrayed, and betrayers, and the salacious gossip posing as information.
In conclusion, the author emphasizes the importance of understanding the inner workings of Hollywood and the struggle for success in the industry.
SPEED-THE-PLOW
Producing in Hollywood is a profession that attracts writers, directors, and actors for the fun, prestige, and excitement. Some find stardom, while others make a regular living. The crafts-and-support folk, such as musicians, prop makers, stuntfolk, model makers, armorers, dressers, and character actors, are largely gone. Producers, like those in Washington, produce nothing and spend their time searching for opportunities to advance. They often seek power and money, but their relationship with folk music is ambiguous and often involves deference, betrayal, chicane, or luck.
Producers may initiate, fund, or endorse a film, or they may also be colleagues or assigns of the same. Executive Producers lend an imprimatur to the project, while Associate Producers associate with producers. Self-promoters troll for ignorant talent, promising representation, funding, or influence, but do not have anything to do with the actual exposure of the film. Line Producers (UPM) are the general contractor and the filmmaker's ally and friend.
The term producer
is used to refer to these individuals, but there is another term for Line Producers (UPM), who are the general contractor and the filmmaker's ally and friend. Agents, such as CAA pitches, exploit the original stars and gain power through exploitation.
