Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

What Yang Chen said, at most, everyone understood it as, from now on, the TV station will no longer deduct the budget declared by the director for no reason.

Like Lidi and TVB before, the budget of each TV series will be cut in half or a part in the end.

This makes many directors have to save money and spend, and strive to produce TV dramas within the budget.

It was clear that Xu Yu had doubts in his heart, Yang Chen was not ambiguous, he directly stretched out a finger and said: "1000 million, excluding the stars' remuneration, I will give you a budget of 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, as long as you can make this TV series Well done, I can guarantee that within this budget, you won't be under any pressure."

To be honest, in this era, spending 1000 million yuan to film a TV series, and not counting the remuneration of celebrity artists, this is definitely considered a big production.

Therefore, when he heard the budget Yang Chen gave him, Xu Yu couldn't help being shocked.

Swallowing hard, Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen with some fiery and excited eyes, "Chairman, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Hearing this, Yang Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I have time to joke with you here?"

"Why, how could it be?" Seeing this, Xu Xie was embarrassed and silly, and smiled, but he couldn't find Bei with a little joy in his heart.

With a budget of 1000 million, and not counting the remuneration of the participating stars, he is probably the only one in the Xiangjiang film and television industry.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help being excited.

At this time, he had already put aside the fact that New Art City had sent someone to contact him.

With such a good thing, how many people did he go to the other party to gather? Could he be so valued in the past?

Although there is a big gap between TV dramas and movies, he has always wanted to develop into the movie industry, but the competition in the movie industry is far greater than the pressure in the TV industry.

There are many film directors, but not many of them can be decent in the end. Even if there are film directors with several famous works, once they encounter Waterloo, they will be easily forgotten.

As for TV directors, to a large extent, the pressure is much less than that of film directors. After all, when a director gets the script for a feature-length series, he already knows it in his mind.

According to the plot, the TV director can guess the next question.

But the movie is different, there is only such a long plot in total, once the judgment is wrong, and the director likes the plot but the audience doesn't like it, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.

Seeing Xu Yu's smug look, Yang Chen couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water.

"Director Xu, don't rush to be happy. The budget I give you will only be more, not less, but I also have requirements for this, and I don't just give you the money to burn for fun."

"Chairman, tell me." Hearing this, Xu Xi's heart tightened, and he quickly put away his complacency.

"Since the investment of the TV station is so large, the things that are filmed naturally need to satisfy the audience.

In addition to audience satisfaction, I also need director Xu to ensure that this drama will not become outdated even after 30 or [-] years. "

"Let me tell you this, taking the script of The Legend of Condor Heroes in your hand as an example, when Director Xu is filming, you must pay attention to the details of people's clothing.

What are the rivers and lakes about?Is it just a matter of pleasure and enmity?I think many people read Mr. Cha's novels, and they want to bring themselves into the world of martial arts novels.

Since people have this kind of heart, when we shoot, we must show the best side of martial arts novels, so that people have a sense of involvement.

As the saying goes, details determine everything. In terms of various fighting, we can use special effects to show the martial arts fighting scenes that can be imagined in our minds.

In addition to being real, the Jianghu characters in the play have to be moderately made to make them look more beautiful as a whole.

After all, you can't let a person fall in love with a big, unkempt big guy, right?Even if this big tycoon has driven a few days away, it will indeed be ruined in real life, but we can't show his ruined side to the audience..."

In later generations, when people watch those old TV series, they will always give people a feeling of fake beating and poor clothes.

In the 21st century where aesthetic standards are becoming more and more stringent, TV dramas in the 80s and [-]s are a bit unbearable to look at.

Following Yang Chen's reminder, Xu Yu probably understood some of Yang Chen's thoughts in his heart, but he was actually not very willing to listen to other people's opinions.

Any famous director in later generations has a common problem, that is, they can't listen to other people's opinions.

To describe it in one word, it's 'conceited'.

People with high self-esteem and ability will often achieve extremely high achievements, while those with insufficient ability will fall to the bottom.

Although Xu Yu is very conceited, he is still at the beginning stage of his life, and his achievements are far from reaching the level of later generations.

Therefore, he can still listen to some of them.

What's more, everything Yang Chen said coincides with him.

He personally likes to embody artistic things in movies, and what Yang Chen wants is to beautify and artisticize the scenes in martial arts novels.

What kind of punching and kicking, punching to the flesh, sometimes it really doesn't have that much airs, even if two people of equal strength, usually, they can decide the outcome in just a dozen moves.

But in today's martial arts movies, the scene of two people sparring is really like a grandmother's foot wrap, smelly and long, which makes people feel nauseous after watching it.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiangjiang Films will develop rapidly during this period.

Most TV shows are not popular with audiences, and people are naturally interested in blockbuster movies.

In many cases, what movie theaters are most afraid of is encountering hit dramas, and every hit drama will attract most of the movie audience.

Unlike TV stations, which can be played repeatedly, movies shown in cinemas have a strict time limit. Once they are released, it means that the movie is over.

Therefore, once there is a TV series like Shanghai Bund that attracts thousands of people, movie theaters can only consider themselves unlucky, or adjust the broadcast time to avoid the showing time of popular dramas.

The exchange between the two of them, an afternoon passed like this, and when they left Yang Chen's office, Xu Yu still had an expression on his face that was still unfinished.

Influenced by the image of the later generations, Yang Chen's set of new martial arts is easy to pick up, no matter the good or the bad, he said it all in one go, as for the subsequent filming, that is Xu Yu's own business.

After all, Yang Chen didn't have any experience in shooting TV and movies, no matter in his previous life or in this life, so he could only talk about it on paper, but when it comes to actual operation, he would really be blind.

About this point, Xu Yu actually heard it too, but who asked Yang Chen to say something, it is indeed very inspiring.

As an outsider who can think of these things that even an insider like him can't think of, Xu Yu really has nothing to say to the boss, Yang Chen, and feels that he has met a confidant.

Chapter 209 Training Class "Subscription"

After talking about the script with Xu Yu, Yang Chen came to ATV's artist department alone.

In the past two days, ATV star artists and directors have begun to sign contracts to the artist department one after another.

Although everyone was surprised by this, and didn't understand why Yang Chen made such an unnecessary move.

However, attracted by the contract from the artist department, almost everyone signed their names with a strange face after reading the contract content as soon as the contract was delivered.

It's not that the new contract is too strict, on the contrary, it is precisely because the new contract is so generous that all the celebrities can't believe it.

Influenced by the celebrity studios of later generations, Yang Chen is too clear that with the development of the times, no long-term contract can bind a star.

Instead of waiting to fall out with these stars because of contract issues and prompting them to leave one by one, it is better to make the terms more generous.

If what they gain from Yang Chen's side is easier and more profitable than opening a studio by themselves, do you think these celebrities will still be too idle to start a studio by themselves?
