Zhang Daoxian was holding the budget list and his whole body was numb.
Although this is what he does at CCTV, he has never seen such a detailed budget model. And this means an extremely huge workload.
Even though Yang Yuan was sitting in front of him, Zhang Daoxian couldn't help it.
"Mr. Xiao, if this budget is made..."
Xiao Qian jumped in and interrupted him.
"The preparation period for the crew is about two months. Do you still have any questions? In addition, your budget department is not responsible for the control of funds. Budget expenditures are reported directly to me for approval."
Xiao Qian has no intention of handing over the financial power. With the moral character of these people, he cannot be too cautious until they adapt to operating under the new model.
Hearing that he had two months to spare, Zhang Daoxian finally had nothing to say.
Although the details of the budget presentation and approval were mind-numbing, if he couldn't do it within two months, then he might as well resign.
On the other hand, thinking about it, it seems quite easy to be responsible for only this one job for two months.
After thinking about this, Zhang Daoxian's face became clear again.
Although he was deprived of the power to control funds, he was not a greedy person and had nothing to be unhappy about.
After talking about the budget, Xiao Qian said again: "Yang Zhen, Yang Yue, you must be careful in your action design. Although the kung fu in this drama is mainly Tai Chi, the supporting roles must also be outstanding. And it involves
There are many kinds of Kung Fu, you must read them carefully."
There are many masters appearing in "Tai Chi Master", not only the great Baguazhang master like Dong Haichuan, especially the martial arts competition in the tower, which also involves Miao Kung Fu, Japanese Kung Fu and Korean Kung Fu.
These are areas that the Yang brothers have never set foot in. For this reason, Xiao Qian has sent people to collect information for them.
It can be said that the Yang brothers have the heaviest task besides him in this filming.
But there is no way, this drama is tailor-made for the Yang brothers. No matter how much hard work they put in, it will be worth it.
Next up is the photography team, whose responsibilities are equally heavy.
"Everyone, have you read the script? This is a standard script, so the shots I require must be detailed to the level of fifteen per page."
All four photographers' expressions suddenly changed, and they were worried.
Chief photographer Guo Shaoqi relied on his seniority to speak on behalf of everyone.
"Mr. Xiao, this task is impossible to accomplish. There are fifteen sub-shots on one page. If you draw them all, there will be more than thousands. We also need to consider the artistic and effect components of the shots. It will not be possible to complete it in less than a year."
The more he talked, the angrier he became. Guo Shaoqi almost said, "I quit."
He felt that Xiao Qian was trying to make things difficult for him, Fat Tiger.
It's a pity that Xiao Qian was prepared.
"Your sub-shot task cannot be completed by just relying on hand painting. So I invited experts to come over this time."
He pointed at a skinny young man who followed him in and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Qin Shaohua, a computer graphics expert from Zhongguancun. I invited him here this time to use computer graphics technology to help you complete it."
The four photographers looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
They are all very traditional photographers. The shots they need for filming are basically drawn one stroke at a time.
Is it reliable to use computer graphics?
But Xiao Qian is the boss, and he has made such detailed arrangements, so the four of them can only try first. If it doesn't work, it won't be their turn to take the blame.
Only Xiao Qian is confident.
Because he knows very well that computer graphics will play an increasingly important role in the creation of film and television dramas in the future. The traditional method of manually drawing sub-shots has long been abandoned by the new generation of film and television workers, except for some big directors.
Finally, there are some important departments in the crew, and Xiao Qian also made arrangements.
"The costume team, props team, and field management team were merged into one large department this time, and the lady next to me is in charge."
Only then did everyone notice that a middle-aged woman was sitting peacefully next to him. She had an unprepossessing appearance and a kind smile, but she didn't expect that she would control most of the three-person team.
For a time, everyone was very curious and didn't know who this woman was.
Xiao Qian didn't try to be mysterious. He smiled at the woman, and after getting her response, he introduced everyone.
"This is Ms. Kurosawa Kazuko, a top film costume designer we specially invited from Japan. Ms. Kurosawa is an internationally renowned expert in film costumes. This time, everyone must humbly accept her leadership."
Before he could even finish his words, the whole place was filled with an uproar.
No one expected that Japanese people would appear here.
Especially the staff of the costume team, props team and field management team, they cannot accept it.
An old man slammed the table on the spot, furious.
"How unreasonable? Our country's costume drama has a Japanese female devil in charge. It's sheer nonsense."
Others echoed.
"I was injured when I was young fighting the Japanese, and I shed my blood for the country. I'm sorry, I was asked to fight the Japanese, but I can't do it."
There are also some that are more reasonable.
"Mr. Xiao, how can a Japanese understand the ancient costumes of our country? We cannot accept your decision."
Almost all the people who jumped out at the scene were from CCTV, and they were mainly old-school and traditional people.
This made Yang Yuan's face extremely ugly.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you have any work discipline? Are you all going to rebel? Are you not even obeying the organizational arrangements?"
When the director spoke, many people had to bow their heads. Only the old man who jumped out first was even more angry.
"Yang Yuan, don't pretend to be a big clove of garlic for me. Just wait, I will ask you when I get back, does the stuff he taught me make me a traitor to the country?"
Yang Yuan looked embarrassed and ashamed.
But there is no other way. When you meet someone who is senior and related to the family, no authority will matter.
"Oh, uncle, please don't cause trouble. Don't you always admire Mr. Xiao's abilities and ideas? Don't worry, he won't do anything random."
This old man's name is Qu Jinhua. He and Yang Yuan's father were colleagues back then, and they lived in the same family building. When Yang Yuan was a child, he often went to other people's houses for food, and was often punished by the old man.
With so many people present, he could use the authority of a director to suppress them. But facing Qu Jinhua, he had no temper.
For such a senior person, even the director of CCTV must be respectful when meeting him.
He had been kept low and small, but Qu Jinhua was still not calm.
But this time the spearhead was aimed at Xiao Qian.
"That little baby, let me tell you. It doesn't matter that my old man endures hardships and hardships, but if you ask me to help the Japanese, don't even think about it."
The presence of such a bad-tempered, stubborn, and experienced guy completely ruined the atmosphere in the conference room.
Many people stared at Xiao Qian sideways.
Obviously, if Qu Jinhua cannot be dealt with, then the rules and outlines he worked so hard to formulate before will inevitably become a piece of waste paper.
Xiao Qian was also angry and glared at Yang Yuan.
You said you have so many people at CCTV, why don’t you find a few people with less qualifications?
Do you have any grudge against me for bringing up such a arrogant person?
But he had no choice, even if he faced Qu Jinhua, he had to be kind and courteous.
"Haha, Mr. Qu, Ms. Kurosawa Kazuko is really a top master in film costumes, and she has a lot of research on Chinese culture. We finally hired her, and she will be of great help to our drama."
Qu Jinhua just didn't listen.
"Stop talking nonsense, even if you tell me everything, I won't agree."
Yang Yuan was worried on the sidelines, watching the crew seem to be falling apart immediately, but there was nothing he could do.
He was afraid that Xiao Qian was young and arrogant, so he became tough and finally chose to kick Qu Jinhua out. If that happened, Xiao Qian's reputation in the industry would be ruined in the future.
Qu Jinhua has been engaged in film and television work for more than fifty years, and the apprentices he has taught can line up from Xizhimen to Tianqiao. If he offended this person, he was really afraid that no one would be able to use Xiao Qian in the future.
In full view of everyone, Xiao Qian almost went crazy.
Old guy, you forced me to do this, don't blame me for my killer move.
Just when Qu Jinhua was calling people to pack things, Xiao Qian finally drew his sword.
"Miss Kazuko Kurosawa is actually the daughter of director Akira Kurosawa."
In an instant, the scene became quiet.
Qu Jinhua sat upright, with a serious attitude and a respectful posture, and was even more well-behaved than a primary school student.
This sudden change in the style of painting has made many people look at it with suspicion. It feels like watching "Tom and Jerry".
At the same time, when he looked at the kind-hearted middle-aged woman next to Xiao Qian, she suddenly shrunk.
I can't help it, Akira Kurosawa's name is really scary.
