French term or phrase: producteur locataire
The following is from a sociological history of cinema. It discusses the move in French cinema production from a 'studio intégré' model, to one of 'studio technique'. When it refers to a 'producteur locataire', is this a known configuration? I can't quite catch the meaning or think of a translation. Can you help? Thanks very much:

'Dès le milieu des années 1930, il cède la place à une configuration de « studio technique » qui réunit équipements et personnels et permet au producteur locataire, « déchargé des problèmes dits techniques », de se « focaliser sur la mobilisation des éléments artistiques et financiers ».'

Explanation:
I don't think this is a compound noun, but just something that can be expressed more neatly in French than in English.

Reference information:
"Tenant producer" does seem to be used in connection with cinema, at least by the following two authors:

From "Past and Present: National Identity and the British Historical Film" by James Chapman:
https://books.google.fr/books?id=vvyEQF_WyH0C&lpg=PA144&ots=...

From "British Film Design: A History" by Laurie N. Ede:
http://books.google.fr/books?id=7633AgAAQBAJ&lpg=PR1&ots=0Ts...

Also, from a website about Alexander Korda at http://www.leninimports.com/alexander_korda.html :
"Korda was forced to add cheaper features to his production schedules and to accept independent producers as tenants to fill Denham's empty stages. Korda found himself losing control of Denham to the financiers (eventually to J.Arthur Rank). He was finally forced to become a tenant producer in the studio he had built just a few years before."
