Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 178 Planning the Jin Yong drama

   Hearing Huang Xizhao's question, Yang Chen smiled and said: "Manager Huang, Jin Daxia's novel, I don't need to say more, you should also know.

  Jin Daxia's novel fans are not only in Xiangjiang, but there are many people who like Jin Daxia's novels in the Chinese circles such as Wanwan and Southeast Asia.

  If someone likes it, it means there is a market. These are potential audiences. If we shoot with our heart, we will use the best equipment, the best props, and the best actors.

   As I promised before, there will be no upper limit on the funding of TV dramas in Asia in the future. The goal of everything is to achieve the best results. We cannot let the director shoot some shoddy things because of spending restrictions. "

   "Boss, I can understand what you mean, but if there is no upper limit for the shooting funds..." Halfway through the sentence, Huang Xizhao did not continue.

  People are selfish, once someone seizes this for personal gain, then the TV station will inevitably increase a lot of unnecessary expenses.

   At the staff meeting, because of Yang Chen's face, he couldn't say anything in person. Now that the two are in private, he still thinks it's better to persuade him.

   Yang Chen is very satisfied with Huang Xizhao's persuasion. From this, it is not difficult to see that the other party is really considering the TV station.

   has the lessons learned from Jiashi, TVB and ATV have always been very strict in their budgets for TV dramas.

  Between this point, Yang Chen wasn't angry, and he didn't show any displeasure to Huang Xizhao.

  Yang Chen nodded and said: "That's right, I have also considered this, but it is impossible to get the budget funds for TV dramas blindly.

  Although that can save some money for the TV station, if it leads to a shortage of shooting funds, the director has to charge up for defective products, which will affect the quality of the entire TV series.

   In this regard, we need to fully understand the director of filming, and we cannot ruin word of mouth because of savings. "

   Seeing that Huang Xizhao wanted to say something else, Yang Chen waved his hand, gave the other party a calm and unrestrained smile, and continued: Of course, there is no capital limit, it does not mean that there is no need for a budget, and it does not mean that the director can spend this money arbitrarily.

   Next, the various institutional duties of ATV must be clarified. The director and screenwriter are only responsible for filming, and the issue of money is handled by a special person.

   The use of each fund, big or small, must be recorded in detail, and no penny should be missed.

   At the same time, the TV station has set up an inspection team to inspect and deal with such incidents. Once discovered, they must be severely dealt with…”

   Hearing Yang Chen say this, Huang Xizhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  The idea of ​​young people is always willing to idealize things. He is afraid that Yang Chen does not know how to do it, and blindly pursues high-quality TV series, while ignoring the unpredictable people behind it.

   Now it seems that this boss of his own is not a complete novice, and where he should be ruthless, he is still ruthless.

   "Boss, I will contact Mr. Jin as soon as possible, but I can't guarantee whether it will happen or not. After all, Mr. Jin is different from the others."

   Seeing Huang Xizhao's embarrassed expression, Yang Chen also knew the other party's embarrassment, nodded, and didn't blame the other party for anything.

  The Four Great Talents of Xiangjiang, although all of them are famous and powerful, Jin Yong alone occupies more than half of the fame of these four great talents.

  If there is no Jin Yong, the influence of the other three, although there is some, is very limited.

  Jin Yong has left too many memories for readers throughout his life. His fourteen popular martial arts novels, "Flying Snow Shoots White Deer in the Sky, Laughing Book God Hero Relying on Bi Yuan".

   Among them, martial arts novels such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Legend of Condor Heroes, The Legend of Heaven and Slaying the Dragon, and The Story of the Lu Ding are also the youth memories of countless people in later generations.

  The four great talents in the martial arts novel world, 'Jin Gulianghuang', is different from the other three. Although Jin Daxia is a part-time businessman, you have to talk to him about money, and sometimes it doesn't work.

   With Ming Pao as a public opinion machine and a money-making machine, money is sometimes a number to Jin Daxia.

   This is the same as the richest man in horses in our later generations. His most famous sentence is that he has never touched money and has no interest in money. ’

   This cannot be said to be bragging, because money is really just a bunch of numbers in the eyes of others.

   Holding Ming Pao, a money-making machine, can you say that Jin Daxia is short of money? Even if he is short of money, will he be short of money for a few novels?

   How much is a novel worth now? Even if Jin Daxia's novel is the highest in the industry, how high can it be?

   That little money is really nothing to many people in Xiangjiang. Wireless and later generations of ATV, no matter how much Jin Daxia asks, both can afford it.

  Why did Jin Daxia keep his novels filmed by TVB instead of the bosses who took over from Asia TV?

   You must know that every time the bosses of Asia TV are changed, their strength is not weaker than Shao Daheng.

  If you have money, you can buy Jin Daxia's novels, and TVB will not repeatedly suppress ATV with Jin Yong dramas in future generations.

   Obviously, money is really not the point here. According to Yang Chen's thoughts, this is more or less related to Wireless's background in martial arts films.

   Shao Daheng owns TVB and Shaw Brothers Films. The two companies share resources. Shaw Brothers has martial arts film actors and directors that are not comparable to ATV.

   And every novelist, they treat their own works as they would their own children.

  Any parent hopes that their children will be well. Perhaps it is based on this that Jin Daxia allows Wireless to shoot so many of his novels.

   Of course, this does not mean that ATV has no chance at all. Didn't Jiashi also shoot Jin Yong drama earlier?

   It can be seen that as long as Jin Daxia can be persuaded, it is still possible for ATV to get the Jin Yong drama.

   But the premise is that the filmed TV series can make Jin Daxia satisfied. If the other party is not satisfied, he may not let you continue to shoot.

   Regarding the shooting, Yang Chen has nothing to worry about, because he has already prepared Huang Xizhao to form an ATV special effects team.

  The TV series uses special effects to break away from the hand-to-hand combat of the old martial arts films, which is visually attractive enough.

   Moreover, the special effects of TV dramas are not as particular as movies, and they do not need to be advanced, let alone pursue blockbuster effects blindly.

   As long as the effects required by the TV series are reflected, the later Jin Yong dramas are unanimously welcomed by the audience because of the addition of simple special effects and becoming closer to the martial arts people imagined.

   As long as he mentions it at that time, professional people will shoot the Jin Yong dramas of later generations.

Once    is shown, it will definitely subvert people's traditional thinking in this era.

  Yang Chen will use this subversive visual effect to completely break the monopoly of Wuxia in martial arts films, so that their original advantages will become disadvantages, or even eliminated products.

   It's like when later generations of Chinese people come into contact with Hollywood's special effects 3D blockbuster, they will keep complaining when they watch domestic movies.

   In the 21st century, those who fail to keep up with the times will be eliminated by the times.

   The same is true for the film and television industry. The reason why Shaw Brothers films are lonely is because they have begun to fail to keep up with the times.

   Now that he has become an opponent, Yang Chen will not have the heart to fight because the opponent is old.

   As the saying goes, being old and not dying is a thief.

  If he can't bear it, in the end, once he gives the other party a chance, he will definitely be unlucky.

  Since he has become the opponent, he will never be merciful until the opponent falls down.

  ——

   Thank you, Shunge, for the reward. . .
