Office of the President of Phoenix TV. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The office arranged by Phoenix TV for Chen Shaoyi is located on the top floor of the TV station, and the place is spacious and bright, overlooking any scene on Kowloon Road. After Chen Shaoyi's design, it looks even more luxurious and atmospheric, and the interior furnishings are a combination of Chinese and Western, and there are all the things that should be there.

Unlike most president's offices in Hong Kong today, Chan loves antique décor, but he prefers the brightness of technology and futurism from the future. Therefore, the overall style of Chen Shaoyi's office is more technological, the most obvious is the computer on the desk, even in the United States in this era, except for technology companies, there are few computers in front of the desk.

According to Chen Shaoyi, sitting here can more clearly grasp the rhythm of the future, as for whether it is or not, God knows.

As soon as Chen Shaoyi entered his office, he sat down in the president's chair, leaned his back lightly against the recliner behind him, and shouted to Li Qing, the secretary who was helping to sort out the documents in the office: "Aqing, you go and help me call Director Xiao first." ”

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll go now." Li Qing put down the work at hand, left the room in a hurry, and went to the next room to call Xiao Sheng to inform him that he had gone.

Xiao Sheng happened to be in the TV station at this time, and after Li Qing's phone call, he rushed to Chen Shaoyi in less than five minutes.

"Mr. Chen, Director Xiao has arrived."

"Oh, invite him in."

Xiao Sheng gently opened the office door, glanced at Chen Shaoyi's office slightly, and saw that Chen Shaoyi was the only one sitting behind the desk, and said politely: "Mr. Chen, are you looking for me?" ”

Chen Shaoyi looked up and greeted warmly: "Director Xiao, hurry, come and sit down first." ”

Xiao Sheng walked in and sat upright on the chair opposite Chen Shaoyi.

Chen Shaoyi picked up a document from the side of his desk. Hand it to Xiao Sheng, "Director Xiao, our TV station is about to start filming Jin Yong's "Dragon Babu", this is the first big production of the TV station this year, and it is expected to invest about 8 million to shoot, I have already told you before, you will be the director of this drama." is fully responsible for the filming task, and must shoot this drama well. ”

"Eight million?" Xiao Sheng exclaimed loudly, really frightened by this number.

The plot of the TV series looks longer than the movie, even ten or twenty times the plot of the movie, and the content filmed is much more than the movie, but in fact, the investment in the TV series is much worse than that of the movie.

Shooting TV looks the same as making a movie. In fact, there is an essential difference between the two. When making films, film is used, and the photos are directly recorded on the film, and the sound quality of the images recorded by the film can be better restored; But one disadvantage is that film is very expensive, and it is a disposable, and a large part of the money for making movies is burned on film. Television cameras, on the other hand, do not use film, but record tapes, although they are far less effective at reproducing images and sound than film. But the advantage is that the tape can be used over and over again, so that you don't need to spend too much money on film to shoot TV.

For this reason, TV directors are relatively more gentle than film directors. The actor is also in the situation of ng, making TV does not need to consume funds, and making a movie requires wasting a large strip of film, a few more NG, the director must be depressed in his heart, how to vent the pain in his heart if he is not mad.

Making TV is not as particular as making movies. In many cases, as long as the actor is not too bad, the director will let it. Filming is different, the pursuit of art in movies is greater, and the actors' performances are more perfect; Because of this, when many people switch from TV dramas to making movies, there will be an uncomfortable process at first, and the results of the shooting are often unsatisfactory. For example, Zhou Runfa, don't look at the future generations. When he began to move to the film industry, he was regarded as box office poison for many years, but this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Because the movie needs more aspects such as the acting skills of the actors. Therefore, the salary of actors is relatively higher than that of TV actors, which is why the identity of artists is ranked as film and television songs, that is, because the value of artists who make movies is often higher, resulting in many artists are eager to make movies, and if they can mix in the film industry, they don't want to go back to making TV.

In this era, it costs eight million to make a movie, which is a super-sized production, let alone a TV series. The investment of last year's box office champion "Modern Bodyguard" was only 5 million ("Home Alone" was regarded as the box office of 81 because it was released on New Year's Eve); In this "Dragon Babu", Chen Shaoyi actually wanted to invest eight million, how could Xiao Sheng not be shocked.

Facing Xiao Sheng's surprise, Chen Shaoyi didn't seem to be shocked enough, and continued: "The budget of eight million for "Dragon Babu" is not necessarily enough, and additional investment may be required in the later stage. ”

Xiao Sheng was indeed even more shocked by Chen Shaoyi's words, and carefully calculated in his brain, how could he not think that this "Dragon Babu" would cost more than eight million funds, could it be that this young boss had money and could not spend it.

Xiao Sheng glanced at Chen Shaoyi, and saw that Chen Shaoyi was sitting very calmly, and he didn't look hot-headed, so he pointed to the document in his hand and asked with some hesitation: "Mr. Chen, according to your outline, this "Dragon Babu" has a total of 45 episodes, and in my opinion, an investment of 80,000 to 100,000 yuan per episode is enough. ”

Chen Shaoyi heard the meaning of Xiao Sheng's words, and said with a smile: "Director Xiao, from your point of view, this "Dragon Babu" does only need about four million, but I don't know if you have watched the Hollywood blockbuster "Star Wars" a few years ago?" ”

When Xiao Sheng heard this, he somewhat understood what Chen Shaoyi meant, and asked uncertainly: "What does Mr. Chen mean that the other four million investments are used for special effects?" But it doesn't seem that anyone has used special effects in TV dramas yet, right? ”

Chen Shaoyi said with a smile: "Director Xiao is right, in my opinion, technology is a terrible thing, and it is also a very useful thing. The emergence of computer special effects will definitely gradually change the pattern of traditional shooting, and computer special effects have a great advantage, that is, it can greatly improve the quality of the picture, and can also complete many shooting shots that cannot be completed by traditional shooting. Take this "Dragon Babu" as an example, Jin Yong described dozens of martial arts moves in the book, and these martial arts themselves are what attract the audience, but traditional filming can't show all martial arts at all, such as the difference between the eighteen palms of the dragon and the powerful King Kong palm, and what is the difference between the six-vein divine sword and the one yang finger, according to the original shooting method, to be honest, there is really not much difference in the feeling to the audience.
