An important thing to remember when you produce films for a studio is to remember who is really running the show. Is the director the driving force behind the film? Is there an "800 pound gorilla" producer who is really running the show and you are there for the ride? Does an actor hold all of the cards? A quick way to find out who is running the show is to check the film budget to see who is getting paid the most or on passion project who is getting paid well below their quote. Since you are already a credited producer with a salary, you don't need to fight for power on the set. Every person on the film has been assigned a role. Some roles have already been accomplished (like the literary manager who packaged the script with a hot director). If you have already done your part, then enjoy the ride.
