Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Yang Chen picked up the cup on the table, and drank the water Huang Xizhao poured for him in one gulp, seeing that Liang Shuyi hadn't put down his pen yet.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he said, "Manager Liang, that's about it. I've finished talking about everything I can think of. It's up to you how to run these three programs next."

Seeing this, Liang Shuyi had no choice but to put down her pen, and seriously promised: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in the third program."

Yang Chen explained everything to her clearly, so she was left to teach her everything. If she lost the chain, then she would have no face to continue occupying the position of ATV's second in command.

Without staying in Huang Xizhao's office, Liang Shuyi took the manuscript of the record and left straight away. Judging by her appearance, if she didn't sort out the three programs today, she would not be able to leave work.

After Liang Shuyi left, Yang Chen did not leave Huang Xizhao's office immediately, but turned to Huang Xizhao and asked, "Manager Huang, did you find the special effects artist last time I asked you?"

Seeing Yang Chen asking about this, Huang Xizhao couldn't help but wryly smiled and said: "Boss, the special effects artist you mentioned, there are very few who can meet the requirements in Xiangjiang. The ATV advertisements have been sent out for several days, and not many people apply for the job. How many people meet the requirements?" The special effects artist who worked on it has now gone to director Xu Yu."

Hearing this, Yang Chen was not surprised either, special effects are rarely used by Xiangjiang Film and Television.

Nowadays, Kung Fu movies and comedy movies are the most popular in Xiangjiang Film and Television. Hollywood's special effects blockbusters will be here, but they will not be satisfied.

What's more, the kind of special effects that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per second, tens of millions of dollars for a movie, and hundreds of millions of dollars, are not something the film and television companies in Xiangjiang can afford.

No matter how good the shoot is, no matter how popular it is, what's the use if you can't get your money back?

Besides, the kung fu movies in Hong Kong sometimes use too many special effects, and they tend to lose their original flavor.

Now he just asks Xu Yu to make TV series with special effects that cost [-] cents in the later generations. The special effects artist does not need to be high-level, as long as he can show the martial arts combined with special effects in martial arts dramas.

Ignoring Huang Xizhao, who was about to continue complaining, Yang Chen waved his hand and said, "You can discuss this matter with director Xu Xi, if you can't, go to Hollywood to poach people."

He always only asked about the result, not about the process. No matter how much he knew, it was useless to him.

Because he didn't understand special effects, so he had to let Huang Xizhao and Xu Xi figure out their own way.

Seeing that Yang Chen let go, what else could Huang Xizhao say, he could only shut up wisely, and at the same time pinch his nose to think of a solution.

Chapter 257

Coming out of Huang Xizhao's office, Yang Chen went straight to Xue Yufei's office.

To his surprise, he met Xu Siqi in Xue Yufei's office.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"Hey, I brought this for you." Xu Siqi patted a few drawings on the table.

Some time ago, when Xue Yufei gave her the outline of Yang Chen's drawing, she immediately sent it to everyone in the comic book club.

A group of people received the outline of the drawing, and immediately started to write and make the drawing. Today, all the drawings she brought over were acceptable and satisfactory.

Other dissatisfaction, naturally cannot be sent to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen glanced at the stack of sketches on the table, and couldn't help but doubt: "Did you draw it so quickly?"

Xu Siqi shrugged and said, "It's just a few drafts, and you have prepared an outline. How long will it take for such a thoughtless thing?"

Like novel writers, cartoonists also attach great importance to the outline of the story. With the outline, there will be no jams. As long as the speed is fast enough, there is no problem at all to complete an episode in a day or two.

Hearing what Xu Siqi said, Yang Chen didn't deny the other party either. After all, he wasn't a novelist or cartoonist in his previous life, so naturally he couldn't look at professional people with his thinking.

He only knew that even if he wrote out the outline of the story in his mind intact, he would still be exhausted.

Every night before going to bed, he would start to write the outline of a dozen or twenty episodes of comics. If he hadn't harbored the idea of ​​making money from the Japanese, he might have given up a long time ago.

Sitting on Xue Yufei's usual seat, Yang Chen took the drawing handed over by Xue Yufei, flipped through it and asked Xu Siqi, "Senior sister, I heard from Yufei that when you were in school, you drew a few comics. How is it? Are you interested in publishing it?"

Xu Siqi heard the words, glanced at Xue Yufei, and smiled embarrassedly when she saw the other party, but didn't pursue anything.

Shaking his head straight away, he said, "Let's wait until your two comics come out. I don't want to ruin your reputation."

Yang Chen raised his head and glanced at Xu Siqi, but he didn't expect the other party to have such concerns, so he said: "I can't, even if my two novels are published, most of the people I like are boys, even if your comics, senior sister It's gone, and it won't affect me."

Xu Siqi couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Can't you just hope for me to order?"

"This one won't work." Yang Chen casually threw the first draft on the table, and motioned Xue Yufei to give him another one.

"I'm also doing this for the good of my senior sister. If you don't publish it, how will you know whether it is popular or not?"

"Everyone has to try to take the first step in life. Only when you take the first step, will you know whether the result is good or bad."

"I'm right, right? Senpai"

Xu Siqi curled his lips: "It's nice to say, don't think I don't know what your idea is, don't you just want me to help you make money?

I haven't received a salary yet, but you want to take advantage of me. When did you become darker than a capitalist? "

"Ahem..." Yang Chen coughed twice in embarrassment, and argued: "Senior sister, don't speak so harshly, you have to know that the company needs to take risks when publishing it for you, in case your work hits the market, people who suffer But me."

Seeing Yang Chen mentioning that his work hit the street for the second time, the black line on Xu Siqi's forehead increased dramatically.

"Senior sister, who drew this draft of yours, the story ability is good."

Hearing Yang Chen's question, Xu Siqi temporarily suppressed his anger, and gloomyly glanced at the comic manuscript in Yang Chen's hand.

Xu Siqi glanced at Yang Chen suspiciously, and saw that he seemed to have really forgotten, so he reminded: "Wu Yucheng, he was in the same period as you and Yufei, when I recruited people last time, he didn't know where he got the news from." , I just want to join our comic club.

But you also know that everyone in the art department knows his level of painting, so I refused directly. "

"It was him"

After Xu Siqi's reminder, Yang Chen immediately thought of who is a famous figure in the art department, who is ridiculously poor in painting skills, but loves to paint, and there is no one in the entire art department who does not know his name.

If it's just that, it's fine, but he still likes to pester others to appreciate his masterpieces.

Needless to say, the seniors of the art department, the students in the same period are even more so. Even Yang Chen, who only occasionally goes to an art class, has been entangled by him.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that Yang Chen has beaten him before, that's right, which great god he has beaten.

As for the reason, it's very simple, that is, some great god didn't think it was enough to pester him, so he went to pester Xue Yufei.

At that time, Yang Chen didn't get used to the other party, he just had a mess.

In the end, after the other party vowed not to bother them to appreciate his masterpieces, he reluctantly stopped.

At that time, there was quite a commotion about this incident, mainly because Yang Chen and the other party were not too famous in school.

In the end, the school teacher didn't say much after knowing what had happened, just because the master had been beaten up not once or twice, and if it wasn't for the fact that the other party had good grades in other subjects, he would have been dismissed by the school long ago.

"Then this is?" Yang Chen shook the sketch on his hand, and looked at Xu Siqi suspiciously.

Xu Siqi said with a dark face: "After I rejected that guy, he pestered me downstairs in the dormitory for a week. Even his girlfriend couldn't persuade him to leave. In the end, I had no choice but to agree to him joining the comic club."
