Chapter 412: No money is easy to make

If TVB is the first window for mainlanders to get in touch with avant-garde fashion culture, then for Hong Kong people, TVB is the daily life of their parents.

Compared with the mainlanders' love and fascination with Hong Kong dramas, the locals must have a stronger and indescribable emotion towards them.

Lin Xi, the first Chinese lyricist, described his childhood life, which was to use invincible melodies to open meals and use soap long dramas to deliver meals......

In the movie "The King of Comedy" written and directed by himself, Stephen Chow used a book "Actor's Self-cultivation" to pay tribute to his precious life stage in TVB's acting training class......

After the police drama "Falcon" starring Andy Lau was launched in 82, the number of applicants for the police academy skyrocketed, setting a historical record......

In the 92-year business war drama "The Great Era" starring Zheng Shaoqiu, the male protagonist Ding Crab often shorted Hang Seng Index futures during the bear market to make huge profits.

In the next 20 years, whenever a TV show starring Zheng Shaoqiu was launched, Hong Kong stocks actually fell to varying degrees?

This unexplained phenomenon in economics is also known as the Ding Crab Effect!

After Xu Zhian's derailment incident was exposed by the media, TVB took local materials from a certain TVB drama broadcast later, and put Xu Zhian's derailment story on the screen as it was, without giving Xu face at all......

penetrates every trace of blood into Hong Kong people in an almost religious way, and through TVB's TV dramas, the audience can see the strong and help the weak in the martial arts, the hard work of grassroots characters, and the trivial ......

"Wonderful Hands and Benevolence" tells the theme of the doctor's parents' hearts one after another;

"Forensic Pioneer" uses a Western-style narrative to tell a Taoist theory that is magnificent, negligent but not leaky;

"The Legend of Sou Shen", which is based on the mythology of the Jin Dynasty, uses the heroine's smile and the mantra that good luck naturally comes into a pot of thick chicken soup for the soul.

It seems that in the world of Hong Kong dramas, enlighteners only need to say: The most important thing to be a person is to be happy...... After all, no one wants this to happen...... How many decades can there be in life...... As for the family, it is necessary to be neat and tidy......

Money on the battlefield can really do whatever you want...... The essential line of the police in the criminal investigation drama is that you have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will become evidence in court......

Take us to re-acquaint ourselves with Huang Zihua, the god of golden sentences, and Chen Hao, an expert in appreciation......

I know the audience's spirit very well, and all kinds of Cantonese homophonic stalks, rhymes, and anti-chicken soup lines can be said, which makes people watch it heartily.

As Cheng Lingsu said in "Feelings Are Dead": TVB is a bright road light that illuminates the long road ahead for Hong Kong people, and it is also the spiritual comfort of a small island town, and it is also a cup of mandarin ducks shared between the literati and the people in the south of the mainland.

Speaking of this, Hu Fang analyzed: "I think the dilemma is first reflected in the creation, and the routine creation makes TVB seem to be always on the Mobis Ring that cannot be walked out. ”

"The martial arts dramas that were constantly remade in the early days have been reduced to clichΓ© plots of lonely teenagers, chance encounters with famous teachers, encounters with marriages, and achievements in hegemony; family business war dramas have inevitably embarked on the ups and downs of small people, hard work, and Wang Da Hammer's success, and the most popular professional dramas in recent years have written almost all the professions that can be written in society......"

"If there is no innovation, there is only old wine in new bottles. "My Savage Grandma" was a hit in 05, and three years later launched a sequel "Savage Grandma vs. Ge Shima", almost moving the original story structure to the modern era

"In 12 years, the original production team of "Golden Branch Desire" fried cold rice and launched "Golden Branch Desire 2", but ten years have passed, things are not people, Li Zi retired, Charmaine Sheh went north, and the sequel supported only by Deng Cuiwen and Cai Shaofen inevitably gave people the feeling of a dog's tail and mink. ”

Shen Feng nodded, in his opinion, TVB has always used the characteristics of traditional chapters to tell stories, and used Hollywood's paragraph-style narrative.

In almost every TV series, you can find the shadow of other works, but it will bring you a completely different viewing experience.

"The Milk Corps" is the Hong Kong version of "Desperate Housewives"; "Wonderful Hands and Benevolence" is the Hong Kong version of "Grey's Anatomy"; "Shanghai Tang" has the shadow of "The Godfather"; and "Palace Scheming" has some flavor of "Da Changjin......

But this spirit of taking the strengths of others has never been criticized and criticized, which shows TVB's cunning in the script narrative.

It's a pity that in the past ten years, many senior actors and screenwriters have left the nest and gone north, and TVB, the century building, has been shaken because of the escape of the screws on the industrial assembly line.

It's in name only!

What's more, beautiful and fresh Korean dramas and grandiose mainland dramas poured into the island, instantly improving the aesthetic level of the grandmothers. ”

"When it becomes an unstoppable fact that talents go north, TVB can't sit still, and can only learn from the pain and start reform. What is the ...... to increase the salary of top artists and allow runaway artists and screenwriters to return to TVB for project-based cooperation"

After Charmaine Sheh left TVB, she returned to sign the project contract as the heroine of "Apostle Walker", and the old club finally put down the high shelf. ”

"After 08 years of layoffs, 12 years of poaching turmoil, and 16 years of ATV bankruptcy, the golden age of TVB has long ceased to exist, and the slogan of reform and innovation has been shouted for a long time, but in addition to last year's low-cost Hong Kong drama "Golden Night Mansion" and "Bridge of Sighs", which scored high on Douban, successfully got out of the circle......"

"None of them can fight!"

Shen Feng smiled, there is no way, now that you have money, you are the master, who is still stupid to keep that dead salary?

In the past 10 years, TVB Hua Dan has filmed an episode of up to 30,000 or 40,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the salary of important supporting actors in the mainland is easily more than 100,000 yuan!

After several rounds of protests, contract termination, and the cessation of filming, the old man of TVB Hua Dan is not there, and the embarrassing situation of the newcomer not knowing abounds.

In the past 15 years, with the issuance of the foreign restriction order, the mainland online video platforms have almost stopped purchasing Hong Kong dramas, and it is even more difficult for TVB newcomers to share the soup in the mainland.

We can only try again the model of co-production with the mainland or co-broadcast with online platforms, although it is not innovative, but it still saves a certain situation.

In the past, the filming cycle of TVB dramas was short, the funds were limited, and the theme was mainly local life. Now, the cooperation model can rely on its own accumulated experience and platform data to feed back content production, and at the same time, it can also help dramas match the mainland censorship system more quickly.

Just like the lyrics of the theme song of "The Giant Wheel": This giant wheel is turning day by day, we cannot return to the beautiful past, and there are also new classics staged......

In a few years, TVB may be able to score two goals?
