However, after being able to compete with TVB for so many years, ATV is not a vegetarian and has produced some wonderful TV series.
Especially after entering the Qiu Degen era, wonderful dramas continued one after another.
Lu Zhaode also knew about this situation. When he talked with Zhang Junping before, Zhang Junping told him about this matter.
At this point, even Zhang Junping was helpless.
This kind of thing is simply unreasonable.
That's why Zhang Junping gave Lu Zhaode 200 million a year and let him work hard.
That is to say unreasonable versus unreasonable.
You have Jin Yong's relationship, but the relationship is unreasonable. I have money, so I will be unreasonable with money.
Let’s see who spends more money than whom.
"The chairman has also mentioned this matter before, and it is unsolvable for us.
There is no second Jin Yong in this world.
However, the chairman also said a way, which is to find a breakthrough from history."
"Looking for a breakthrough in history?" Huang Jiawen frowned in confusion, thinking about the meaning of Lu Zhaode's words.
"With five thousand years of Chinese civilization, there are countless legends and countless wonderful stories, all of which can be adapted.
There is no shortage of talented screenwriters in Xiangjiang. As long as we are willing to spend money, we are not afraid of not being able to produce wonderful TV series." Lu Zhaode reminded.
"Looking for breakthroughs from historical legends and cultural classics?" Huang Jiawen's research became brighter.
"Yes, the chairman gave us 200 million a year, just to tell us to try boldly and not be afraid of spending money.
I watched the TV series filmed here in Xiangjiang, and it was really exciting.
However, there is always a feeling of being shoddy.
I’m not talking about our ATV, TVB is the same. The scenes and costumes are too simple, we are reluctant to spend money, and there are heavy traces of rushing work." Lu Zhaode was not polite and directly pointed out the shortcomings of Xiangjiang TV series.
TV dramas of this era in Xiangjiang are all shot and broadcast live. If the ratings are not high, they will be cut off immediately.
Bad jobs, eunuchs, these disgusting phenomena are common in Hong Kong TV dramas.
"There is nothing we can do about this. The final result of a TV series still depends on the ratings. Without ratings, there will be no revenue.
However, before the TV series is broadcast, no one is sure what the ratings will be, so naturally they will not invest too much money.
This is also a common problem here in Hong Kong.
Another thing is, rushing to shoot, sometimes in order to be able to broadcast in time, we have to rush the work, so the picture..." Huang Jiawen said with a wry smile.
"I can understand!
We won’t talk about how it was in the past. This aspect must be improved in the future.
Lao Huang! Our chairman is a perfectionist.
Therefore, for the TV series we produce in the future, the ratings may not be the most important thing, but perfection is the most important thing.
This perfection includes not only the perfection of the plot, but also the perfection of props, costumes, and background.
Don't be afraid of spending money, our parent company is not short of money." Lu Zhaode said proudly.
"Director Lu, what you said is not difficult to solve. The only problem is that the cost of each TV series will increase dramatically."
"Haha! I just said that the parent company is not short of money and is not afraid of spending more money.
It doesn't matter if 200 million is not enough.
As long as we can produce a TV series that satisfies the chairman, it won't be a problem that money can solve." Lu Zhaode said with a laugh.
"Director Lu, if that's the case, then there really won't be any problem." Huang Jiawen said with a wry smile.
Why hasn't he met such a good boss before?
I think Huang Jiawen is full of knowledge and wants to make a name for himself in the film and television industry, but he has never met a boss who appreciates him.
It's not like he didn't appreciate his boss. Whether it was Li's before or ATV later, his bosses valued him very much.
He just hasn't met a boss who is willing to spend money.
"Next, what we have to do is to stabilize people's hearts, and we have to rely on you, Lao Huang, for this.
Although you are now the deputy director, I believe that if we brothers work together to develop ATV, you will definitely feel more fulfilled than when you were the director before.
According to the chairman's opinion, since the name of the channel has not been changed, it is not because he is lazy, but because he has huge ambitions.
The chairman's idea is to turn ATV into a television network covering all of Asia.
This requires you and me to work together to complete this great initiative."
"A TV network covering all of Asia?" Huang Jiawen looked at Lu Zhaode with some surprise.
If there was no previous policy of spending 200 million a year at will, Huang Jiawen would only treat it as a favor. Every boss is used to giving favors to his subordinates.
He also often draws cakes for his subordinates.
However, with the promise of 200 million a year and profit without money for ten years, Huang Jiawen felt that this was true.
"Director Lu, I promise to fully cooperate with your work. Whatever you need me to do, Director Lu will just tell you." Huang Jiawen solemnly promised.
"Okay, as I said before, the first thing is to stabilize people's hearts. ATV has just changed its boss, and there will definitely be some people's hearts and minds. We can't let others take advantage of our loopholes and poach our talents.
The second is to sort out and build a new screenwriter department, stabilize existing talents, and openly recruit new screenwriters.
Third, the production department, including cameras and other equipment and props, should all be updated and asked to come up with a plan list.
Fourth, the Performing Arts Department is actively exploring and cultivating new talents. In the future, we will not only shoot TV series, but also movies.
The chairman owns a cinema chain in Xiangjiang, which is under renovation. When the renovation is completed, it will be the largest cinema chain in Xiangjiang.
I believe Director Huang has also heard of Crystal Palace Cinema."
"Crystal Palace belongs to the chairman?"
"Yes, to be precise, it is the chairman's other property. It is the same owner as our ATV, but it is not the same parent company.
The chairman has many industries, and BJ Art Company is just one industry under his name."
"I know, I had the honor to attend the reception where the chairman reported the matter before, right at the Castle in the Mid-Levels.
That time, everyone in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong went.
I thought the chairman summoned so many people from the entertainment industry to have a party just to hunt for beauty.
It turns out that it is to pave the way." Huang Jiawen said with conviction.
"Hahaha! Hunting for beauty? Thanks to you, Lao Huang, you can think of it. Our chairman is young and promising, and everything today is achieved through his own efforts.
If he wants a beautiful woman, he hooks his fingers, and beauties from all over the world are lining up for him to choose from." Lu Zhaode laughed and said.
Lu Zhaode still admires Zhang Junping for this. With his wealth and status, he must be surrounded by beauties, but the chairman is like an ascetic, guarding his wife and children.
If it were not for career development, the boss would probably not go out.
In the company, I have never heard of anyone having an affair with the boss.
"Lao Huang, you also know the background of our company. We must be wary of difficulties from Wanwan." Lu Zhaode put away his smile and said seriously.
