Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 205 Xu Yu's "Subscription"

  After having lunch with Boss Lei, Yang Chen came to ATV. Yesterday, he discussed with Jin Daxia about the film and television authorization of The Condor Heroes.

   Next, he needs to choose a suitable director. After all, this time he is shooting a new martial arts film. If the director chosen is wrong, then he may not be an anti-dog in the end.

   As early as Yang Chen took over ATV, Huang Xizhao had already arranged a chairman's office for Yang Chen.

   Compared with Huang Xizhao's general manager's office, which is simple and low-key, Yang Chen's office is much more luxurious.

   After all, he is the boss of ATV. If the layout is too low-key and simple, it is not Yang Chen who will be embarrassed, but the entire ATV.

   Sitting on the office boss chair, Yang Chen looked like his feet were cocked up, from top to bottom, from bottom to top, there was nothing like a boss.

  Compared to those wealthy people, who always need to put on the air of a boss in front of his employees and subordinates, Yang Chen prefers to come wherever he is comfortable.

   Of course, this is for him. If the employee's subordinate dares to be so casual in front of him, he will definitely let the other party go home and eat his own.

   'Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lights' is someone like Yang Chen.

   "Chairman, Director Xu Yao is here."

   "Boss" Xu Yu, who came in with the secretary, hurriedly bent over.

   "Go down first." Seeing this famous director of later generations, Yang Chen waved to the secretary and motioned her to go down.

   "Director Xu, let's sit there and talk."

   "Ok, boss"

  As a director who came from the original Jiashi, Xu Yan actually did not have a good time during his time at ATV.

   After the other party had changed to a new boss in Li's previous life and left decisively, it is not difficult to see that the other party was not reused during Li's TV station.

   To tell the truth, with the reputation of the other party in later generations, he can be said to be a talent when he went to Li's TV station.

  To say that in the martial arts films, there are only three people that Yang Chen values ​​most, one is Xu Xiaoming, the other is Xiao Xian, who is now transferred to Wireless from the original Jiashi, and the last one, Xu Yu, who is sitting in front of him now.

   Compared with the first two, Yang Chen values ​​Xu Meng more.

   As for the reason, it lies in the other party's unrestrained imagination, as well as the spirit of daring to subvert the tradition and striving for change.

  In the 1980s, whether it was Hong Kong Film or TV, it was in a transitional stage. New wave ideas had begun to spread. Anyone who could not seize the opportunity and did not actively change would be destined to be eliminated in this era.

   Yang Chen in his previous life also watched Xu Yu's movies, and the other party used his unique ideas to perfectly integrate Chinese and Western art.

   As the leader of the new martial arts film, what Yang Chen wants is his spirit of daring to think and act.

  Although the other party hit it with a full head bag at first, the things he shot, although not for sale, but the reputation was exceptionally good.

   Unlike movies, a good TV series will inevitably present a good reputation.

   At this stage, it is not suitable for the other party to make movies, but it can be used in TV dramas. When he perfectly combines the use of business and art, then let him make movies, there will be no problem at all.

   In addition, Xu Ke's pursuit of special effects is also something Yang Chen attaches great importance to. The other party has experience in martial arts films. If the use of special effects is added, then the filmed Condor Heroes will definitely make people's eyes shine.

   Therefore, after Xu Xiaoming was busy shooting the hero Huo Yuanjia, Yang Chen locked the director candidate of The Legend of Condor Heroes on Xu Yu.

  Although there are many directors of ATV, in martial arts films, only Shuang Xu can get into his eyes.

   "Come on, Director Xu, take a look at this first."

   After sitting down, Yang Chen handed the documents of the Legend of Condor Heroes authorized by Jin Daxia to Xu Yu in front of him.

   "This is ATV's next big drama. Like Huo Yuanjia, the hero directed by Xu Xiaoming, it is also ATV's big drama this year.

This drama was authorized by Mr. Cha to ATV, because I have some special requirements for this drama, and Director Xu, you are the best candidate for my requirements, so I intend to hand over this annual drama to you Director Xu. .

  Compared to the hero Huo Yuanjia, there are many places where special effects will be used in this drama, so the cost will be much higher than that of the hero Huo Yuanjia.

   But don’t worry, Director Xu, I said that ATV’s future TV series, as long as it is a good TV series, will have no upper limit on the funding.

   So, Director Xu, what you need to consider is how to shoot it well, and you don’t need to worry about money.

  This drama is very important, which is related to the question of whether ATV can continue to cooperate with Mr. Cha, so Director Xu, you need to pay special attention. "

   "Special effects?" Xu Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words. Xu Yu listened to what he said about the use of special effects in movies, but it was the first time he heard about the use of special effects in TV dramas.

   After all, special effects burn a lot of money. Generally, even a movie is hard to bear, let alone a TV series.

   To tell the truth, Xu Yao is now a little doubtful that the other party is cheating on him. You must know that a movie is only about two hours long.

   But a TV series has a dozen or 20 episodes at random. For a better-looking and popular TV series, under normal circumstances, dozens or hundreds of episodes are normal.

   If all of this uses special effects, I am afraid that the entire ATV will not be enough to compensate.

   Shooting a TV series and making a movie seem to be the same, but in fact there are essential differences between the two.

  The film is used for filming, and the images are recorded directly on the film. The image, picture and sound quality recorded by the film are much better than TV series.

   However, film is a one-time-use item. Every time a movie is made, burning film is equivalent to burning money.

  Why do many film directors have the title of tyrants on the set? Once the actors are out of status and their performances are not good, the director will directly swear at people.

  The problem is here, because as long as the actor's expression is not in place, a stack of banknotes will be thrown directly into the fire,

   After several times, the director felt depressed and didn't get angry, how to show his pain.

   And TV does not use film, but video tape. The tape can be used repeatedly, and it does not need to be used once and cannot be used again and again like film.

   For a TV director, even if an actor makes a mistake, the director usually doesn’t scold people casually, and basically gives the actors time to slowly adjust their state.

   Unless you keep making mistakes and delaying the shooting of the entire crew, the director will get mad.

   Of course, the premise is that you are the protagonist or supporting role. If you perform in a group, any director will not talk to you well.

   If you can perform, you can act, if you can't, just replace the person.

  Although TV series do not need to waste film, the cost is cheaper than that of movies, but special effects can be used regardless of whether you are a movie or a TV series.

  As long as you use it, you will have to burn money. Even if there are not many special effects used in each episode of a TV series, adding up all the plots will definitely be worth the consumption of the previous movie.

   He used the cost of making movies to make TV dramas. If it wasn't for Yang Chen who was talking in front of him, Xu Yu might have been fooling him.
