Intriguing title isn't it ? But this title describes mentality of some new budding producers in film , like a director they actually perceive that Lights, Camera and Action spoken on shoot are actually synonyms and think that movie making needs only money and its a fun job with hotties around and its they who should say Action on the set.
No matter how wise a producer is its almost certain that 7 out of ten think that film making is very easy, they think that t a movie is collection of scenes and they can go ahead and make scene themselves and force the director to shoot it their way.
These kinds of producers are bound to end up with mutilated story, random changes to the script and a piece of crap rather than a spell binding story. They fail to respect the art of movie making and end up with total loss at box office.
And then they blame people involved in making the film. So what should a new producer do?
First of all they should ask themselves that if they had to make a dish and have no idea how to make it, they would keep a chef , simple isn't it? Ok now what if they keep on instructing the chef to add ingredients to their will and he can add nothing without their instruction ? Yes answer is that they will get the same tasteless dish they would have cooked themselves so there is no point in keeping the chef.
Yes movie making seems easy , yes you are right that certain scene in a movie made laugh and some other made you cry, but that does not mean you can make a movie.
So what should producer do? Of course i am not asking him to be an ATM. But what he should do maximum is appoint a man who can handle his money and check on daily costs. And above all if you cannot trust a script or the director you should simply stay away. Movie making is not for light hearted people .
