Long after Yang Chen took over ATV, Huang Xizhao had already arranged a chairman's office for Yang Chen.

Compared to 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 will not be Yang Chen alone, but the face of the entire ATV station.

Sitting on the boss chair in the office, Yang Chen raised his feet, from top to bottom, from bottom to top, he didn't look like a boss at all.

Compared to those rich and powerful, who need to always put on airs in front of employees and subordinates, Yang Chen prefers to be as comfortable as possible.

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

'Only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps' refers to people like Yang Chen.

"Chairman, director Xu Yu is here."

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

"You go down first." Seeing this famous director in later generations, Yang Chen waved to the secretary, signaling her to go down.

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

"Ok, boss"

As a director from the original Jiashi, Xu Yu actually didn't have a good time during his time at ATV.

From the fact that the other party left resolutely after changing to a new boss in Li's previous life, it is not difficult to see that the other party did not receive any reuse during Li's TV station.

To be honest, with the other party's reputation in later generations, it can be said that he is a genius when he comes to Li's TV station.

Speaking of martial arts movies, there are only three people that Yang Chen values ​​most, one is Xu Xiaoming, the other is Xiao Kai who is now transferred from Jiashi to TVB, and the last one, Xu Yu who is sitting in front of him now.

Compared with the first two, Yang Chen valued Xu Xi more in his heart.

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

In the 80s, whether it was Xiangjiang film or television, it was in a transitional stage, and the new wave of ideas had begun to spread. If anyone could not seize the opportunity and make positive changes, he would be doomed to be eliminated by this era.

In his previous life, Yang Chen also watched Xu Yu's movie. The other party used his unique idea to perfectly integrate Chinese and Western arts.

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

Although the other party was full of heads on this at the beginning, the things he photographed, although not for sale, had an exceptionally good reputation.

Different from movies, a good TV series will inevitably show a good reputation.

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

In addition, Xu Ke's pursuit of special effects is also what Yang Chen pays special attention to. The other party has experience in martial arts movies. If special effects are added, then the filmed Condor Heroes will definitely make people's eyes shine.

Therefore, after Xu Xiaoming was busy filming the hero Huo Yuanjia, Yang Chen locked Xu Yu as the director of The Condor Heroes.

Although there are many ATV directors, only Shuang Xu can catch his eyes when it comes to martial arts films.

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

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

"This is ATV's next big drama, and like Xu Xiaoming's hero Fearless, it is also ATV's big drama this year.

Mr. Cha authorized ATV to shoot this drama, because I have some special requirements for this drama, and Director Xu, you just happen to be the person who best meets my requirements, so I plan to hand over this annual drama to Director Xu. .

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

But please rest assured Director Xu, I said that ATV's future TV series, as long as they are good TV series, there will be no upper limit on 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, and it is related to whether ATV can continue to cooperate with Mr. Cha, so Director Xu, you need to pay special attention to it. "

"Special effects?" Xu Yu couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard that. Xu Xi listened to the words that special effects were used in movies, but this was the first time he had heard of special effects in TV dramas.

After all, special effects burn so much money that it is generally difficult to afford even a movie, let alone a TV series.

To be honest, Xu Yu is now a little suspicious of whether the other party is fooling him. You must know that the longest movie is about two hours.

But for a TV series, there are ten or twenty episodes at random. It is better to watch, and for a popular TV series, under normal circumstances, it is normal to have dozens or even hundreds of episodes.

If special effects are used for this, I am afraid that the entire ATV will not be able to compensate.

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

Movies are made on film, and the images are directly recorded on the film. The image and sound quality of the images recorded on film are much better than those of TV dramas.

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

Why do many film directors have the title of tyrant on the set? Once the actors are out of shape and the performance is not good, the director will directly swear.

The problem lies here, because as long as the actor's expression is not in place, a stack of banknotes is equivalent to being thrown directly into the fire.

After a few more times, the director felt depressed, how to show his pain if he didn't get mad.

However, film is not used for television shooting, but video tapes are used. Tapes can be used repeatedly, and they cannot be reused without being used once like film.

For a TV director, even if an actor makes a mistake, the director usually will not swear casually, and will basically give the actor time to adjust slowly.

Unless you keep making mistakes and delay the shooting of the entire crew, the director will go crazy.

Of course, the premise is that you are the protagonist or a supporting role. If you are a group performer, no director will talk to you well.

If you can act, you can act, if you can't, just replace it.

Although TV dramas don’t need to waste film, and the cost is cheaper than movies, but for special effects, it doesn’t matter whether you are a movie or a TV drama.

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

With the cost of making a movie, to make a TV series, if it wasn't for Yang Chen who was speaking in front of him, Xu Xi might have guessed that the other party was fooling him.

Chapter 208 1000 Budget "Subscription Request"

Although Xu Kui didn't think that Yang Chen was interested in joking with him, he still hesitated and asked Yang Chen in a low voice: "Chairman, can I ask a question?"

"Director Xu, ask." Seeing Xu Yu like this, Yang Chen blinked, and stretched out his hand to signal him to speak.

"May I know the expected budget of this drama, chairman?"

Although Yang Chen had stated at the staff meeting that ATV's TV series budget would not have an upper limit, but no one took this seriously.

For things like movies and TV, if you really don’t have a budget, no matter how much money you have, it will be consumed by it.
