After having lunch with Boss Lei, Yang Chen came to ATV. Yesterday, he and Jin Daxia negotiated the licensing of the Condor Heroes movie.

Next, he needs to choose a suitable director. After all, this time he is shooting a new martial arts film. If he chooses the wrong director, he may end up painting a tiger instead of a dog.

As early as 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 arrangement is too low-key and simple, it will not be Yang Chen alone who will be embarrassed, but the face of the entire ATV TV station.

Sitting on the boss's chair in the office, Yang Chen's feet were crossed. From top to bottom, and from bottom to top, he didn't look like a boss at all.

Compared to those wealthy people who always need to act like a boss in front of their employees and subordinates, Yang Chen prefers to be as comfortable as he likes.

Of course, this is for himself. If that employee dares to be so casual in front of him, he will definitely let the employee go home and eat him.

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

"Chairman, Director Xu Xu is here."

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

"You go down first." Seeing this famous director in later generations, Yang Chen waved to his secretary and motioned for her to go down.

"Director Xu, let's go there and sit and chat."

"Okay, boss"

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

From the fact that the other party decisively left after Li's TV station changed to a new boss in his previous life, it is not difficult to see that the other party was not reused during his time at Li's TV station.

To be honest, based on the other party's reputation in later generations, it can be said that he is showing off his talents by joining Li's TV station.

When it comes to martial arts movies, there are only three people that Yang Chen values ​​the most, one is Xu Xiaoming, the other is Xiao Shen who was originally from Jiashi and has now moved to TVB, and the last one is Xu Xu who is sitting in front of him now.

Compared to the first two, Yang Chen values ​​Xu Xu more highly.

As for the reason, it lies in the other party's unbridled imagination, his courage to subvert tradition, and his spirit of striving for change.

In the 1980s, both Hong Kong film and television were in a stage of transformation. New wave ideas had begun to spread. Anyone who failed to seize the opportunity and actively changed would be destined to be eliminated by this era.

In his previous life, Yang Chen also watched Xu Bu's movies, and he used his unique ideas to perfectly integrate Chinese and Western art.

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

Although the other party was very confused about it at first, the things he took did not sell, but their reputation was surprisingly good.

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

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

In addition, Xu Ke's pursuit of special effects is also something Yang Chen values ​​​​especially. He has experience in martial arts films. If special effects are used, the filmed Condor Heroes will definitely make people's eyes shine.

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

Although ATV has many directors, when it comes to martial arts films, only Shuangxu can catch his eye.

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

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

"This is ATV's next major drama, and like "The Hero Fearless" directed by Xu Xiaoming, it is also ATV's major drama this year.

This drama was authorized by Mr. Cha to be filmed by ATV. Because I have some special requirements for this drama, and Director Xu happens to be the best candidate to meet my requirements, so I plan to leave this annual drama to you, Director Xu.

.

Compared to Hero Fearless, this drama will use special effects in many places, so the cost will be much higher than Hero Fearless.

But please rest assured, Director Xu, I have said that for ATV’s future TV series, as long as they are good TV series, there will be no upper limit on funding.

Therefore, 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 affects whether ATV can continue to cooperate with Mr. Cha, so Director Xu, you need to pay special attention to it."

"Special effects?" Xu Xu couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. Xu Xu had heard about the use of special effects in movies, but this was the first time he had heard of the use of special effects in TV series.

After all, special effects are very expensive, and usually even a movie can't afford them, let alone a TV series.

To be honest, Xu Xu is now a little doubtful whether the other party is deceiving him. You must know that the longest movie is only about two hours.

But a TV series can easily have more than ten or twenty episodes. For a good and popular TV series, it is normal for it to have dozens or even hundreds of episodes.

If special effects were used for all this, I'm afraid the entire ATV wouldn't be able to compensate.

Filming a TV series and making a movie may seem the same, but in fact they are fundamentally different.

Film is used to shoot movies, and the images are recorded directly on the film. The image, picture and sound quality recorded on the film are much better than those in TV series.

However, film is a disposable item. Every time a movie is made, burning the film is equivalent to burning money.

Why do many film directors have the title of tyrant on the set? Once an actor is out of shape and the performance is not good, the director will directly curse and curse them.

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

Several times, the director became depressed and wondered how to show his physical pain without getting angry.

TV shooting does not use film, but video tapes. Tapes can be used repeatedly, unlike film, which cannot be used again after being used once.

Even if a director or actor makes a mistake when making a TV show, the director will usually not curse casually and will basically give the actor time to slowly adjust.

Unless you keep making mistakes and delay the filming of the entire crew, the director will get angry.

Of course, the premise is that you are the protagonist or a supporting actor. If you are an extra, no director will talk to you well.

If you can perform, then perform, if not, just replace it.

Although TV series do not need to waste film and are cheaper than movies, special effects do not matter whether it is a movie or a TV series.

As long as you use it, you have to burn money. Even if a TV series does not use many special effects in each episode, adding up all the plots can definitely be worth the cost of a movie.

Using the cost of making a movie to make a TV series, if the person speaking in front of him was not Yang Chen, Xu Xu might have thought that the other party was deceiving him.
