TVB is not going well this year. Except for the high ratings of "Don't Cut" in February, all other dramas can only pass the exams.
As for Feng Huáng TV, it seems that it is not much better than TVB. The ratings of TV series are sometimes good and sometimes bad, but overall they are slightly higher than TVB.
The number of TVB's series is determined based on the ratings. In March, TVB played two TV series with only 5 episodes in a row.
Why is a TV series only 5 episodes? Because the TV series is filmed and broadcasted, the ratings are so bad that it was cut in half after only a few episodes.
As for those 60-episode and 80-episode long dramas, many of them were not planned in advance, but they found that they became more and more popular as they were filming, so the screenwriter and director worked hard to continue the story.
In April, the TVB drama finally showed its strength, and the ratings of "Contemporary Men" starring Huang Rihua, Mai Cuixian, Lu Liangwei, Lam Ka-hua and others were soaring.
Producer Liu Jiahao decisively adjusted his shooting plan and doubled the number of episodes of "Contemporary Men" originally scheduled for 25 episodes, directly allowing the screenwriter to write the story in the direction of 60 episodes.
Fang Yihua, general manager of TVB, is in a good mood. She is happy not only because of the popularity of "Contemporary Men", but also because the producer of this TV series Liu Jiahao only changed jobs from Oriental TV Production Company last year.
Before, TVB talents have always been a job-hopping group to Kang Jianfei. Now TVB can finally attract talents, which is of great significance to Fang Yihua.
At least it can prove that she is good at using talents. The TVB decline is because the people below are incompetent, not because she, the general manager, is incompetent.
The two companies compete for personnel does not mean that those who are given higher will definitely be able to retain people better.
Although the producer and director of Oriental TV Production Company is higher than that of TVB, the competition is also very fierce.
After all, the company's resources and positions are limited. While some people are showing their strengths, there must be some people who think that they are not satisfied with their talents, so it is very normal to switch jobs to other companies.
A few days after "Contemporary Men" was hit, Fang Yihua heard bad news: The big drama "The Great Era" on Feng Huáng TV is about to be aired.
Next, Feng Huáng TV broadcasts the trailer advertisement for "The Great Era" every day after the popular show, attracting the audience's attention.
After half a month, even the audience who followed TVB "Contemporary Men" began to look forward to the broadcast of "The Great Era".
Not only on TV, some Hong Kong newspapers have also begun to report on the gossip about "The Great Times", with the focus on the extramarital affair between Adam Cheng and Taiwanese actresses, as well as the scandal between starring Andy Lau and Zhou Hai Mèi.
The scandal between Liu Qingyun and Zhou Hai was planned by Feng Huáng Station, and this kind of gossip news is very likely to attract the attention of citizens.
As for the extramarital affair that Adam Cheng had in Taiwan, it had nothing to do with Feng Huáng Taiwan, it was just some entertainment tabloids who made up old accounts.
The reports of these two scandals have effectively increased the popularity of "Big Times". The media that smelled the fishy smell wanted to take the opportunity to dig out more about "Big Times".
Therefore, with the active exploration of entertainment media, more and more news has been reported.
For example, the script was written by Kang Jianfei himself, and the screenwriter group even brought together a large group of famous editors, including Wen Rui'an, and even the permanent guests of Feng Huáng Taiwan financial programs, all became special consultants of the play.
Then McDonald Jet postponed the filming of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers 2" and was appointed by Kang Jianfei as the producer of "The Great Era".There are also two movie stars Li Lizhen and Lan Jieying, who were also invited by Kang Jianfei to participate.
All kinds of gossips came from the newspaper, and the powerful cast of Adam Cheng, Joey Wong, Lee Lizhen, Lan Jieying, and Zhou Haimie Mèi made "The Great Era" popular before it was broadcast.
TVB responded quickly, allowing the protagonists of "Contemporary Men" to keep on playing programs and attending public events, and the propaganda wars on both sides were very happy.
On April 25, TVB's "Contemporary Men" had been airing for more than half a month, and its ratings reached 61% at the highest, but "Big Times" started broadcasting under the pressure of "Contemporary Men" at this time.
Since "Contemporary Men" is in the exciting stage of the plot at this time, although many viewers are interested in "The Great Era", they are not too late to take advantage of the advertising time to change the channel and then turn back to continue watching "Contemporary Men".
What were the ratings of our episodes yesterday?Fang Yihua asked the day after the broadcast of "The Great Era".
Her secretary opened a form and replied: The highest ratings of "Contemporary Men" last night were 47%, down 6 points from the day before yesterday.
Fang Yihua nodded and said she knew, and her secretary immediately put away the documents and left.
The launch of Feng Huáng's "Big Times" will definitely have an impact on TVB's "Contemporary Men", and the ratings of 6 points dropped by still within Fang Yihua's acceptance range.
After all, "The Great Age" is a drama planned by Kang Jianfei himself, and the producer and director are both big names of companies under the Oriental Group.
However, as time went by, Fang Yihua quickly couldn't sit still.
On April 25, the highest viewership rate of TVB drama "Contemporary Men" was 47%, and it became 43% on April 26, plummeted to 36% on April 27, and fell to 29% on April 28.
In just five days, "The Great Age" snatched away the audience of "Contemporary Men", whose ratings dropped directly to less than half of the original ones.
The main reason why "The Great Age" can do this is naturally because it is a magical drama, and of course there is also the factor that TVB is trying to commit suicide.
Since "Contemporary Men" has been filmed for more than ten episodes, it has changed its original plan to film 25 episodes and write the length of the play to 60 episodes.
The result will inevitably lead to the delay in the middle and late plots and the inconsistencies in the personalities of some characters. The audience becomes more and more unhappy when watching it. At this time, "The Great Era" happened to be broadcast, so naturally more and more people choose to change channels.
After the ratings of "Contemporary Men" fell below 30%, Fang Yihua finally got furious and slapped the table. He angrily scolded the creative team of "Contemporary Men" at a meeting: Who wrote that episode yesterday?A little thing was grinding and dragging on for most of the episode.And what happened to the third male lead?Why did my personality change completely while I was patting?There is also a female second...
Seven or eight people in the conference room lowered their heads, and were scolded by Fang Yihua as if they were grandson, but no one dared to refute.
Because the overall quality of "Contemporary Men" has declined. Although this is caused by changing the shooting plan halfway, they also have an unshirkable responsibility.
If there are no competitors, then the TV series with high ratings in the early stage will be barely acceptable to the audience even if it is delayed in the middle and late stages, and they will choose to curse and watch it.
But with "The Great Era" disrupting the situation, you have to maintain high quality all the time, otherwise it will destroy the Great Wall.
After a while, Fang Yihua also said she was tired and could only make everyone pay attention to the quality of the series. In fact, she felt something was wrong when she started promoting "The Great Era" and had long been mentally prepared to fail.
Liu Jiahao, the producer and screenwriter, feels extremely wronged. Since he was responsible for producing "Contemporary Men", he can only sleep for an average of three and a half hours a day, and sometimes he can fall asleep while sitting in the crew.
How can such a fast food drama that is filmed and broadcasted while filming and broadcasting be compared with a fine production like "The Great Time" that took half a year?
The energy and money spent by both parties are not proportional to that of money.
Unlike the frustration on TVB, Feng Huáng and Dongshi are in a jubilant celebration, because when the sixth episode of "The Great Era" hit, the ratings reached a terrifying 68%. This is a data that has not appeared in Hong Kong TV programs for a long time, and can be compared with the ratings of the beauty pageant finals.
The viewership rate is so high that there is no need to go to statistics anymore. The clues can be seen from the scarce crowds on the streets of Hong Kong when the TV series was broadcast. This is a sign of a deserted street.
Why did it cause such a big sensation?
Because "The Great Age" talks about Hong Kong stocks, and just a few months ago, the worst stock market crash in 15 years broke out in Hong Kong. Hong Kong citizens are still scared of this and are easily attracted by the plot of "The Great Age".
By the time the Big Times aired to episode 20, the highest ratings for a single episode had climbed to 73%.
Liu Qingyun, a black boy who has always been a supporting role, has become a first-line TV star with this drama.
Although Adam Cheng, who was affected by extramarital affairs, played the villain in the play, he has regained the recognition of Hong Kong audiences with his magical acting skills.
In addition, the one who gained the most was Lan Jieying. Her role in this drama is so popular.
So much so that for a long time, photos of Lan Jieying would appear in entertainment magazines every few days.
As for Zhou Haim, Li Lizhen and Zhou Huimin, they did not perform well, but with the super hit of "The Great Era", they still gained a lot of fame and fans.
When Ming Pao Weekly was only two-thirds of the broadcast of "The Great Times", he couldn't help but put out a special topic to comment: What this TV series portrays and wants to express is far from being as simple as stocks. The drama highlights how devastating it is when fame and fortune are entangled with human nature...
"The Great Era" has a very special significance. It is an ostensibly telling the grudges of two families and two generations, but essentially revealing the changes in the times in Hong Kong...
In terms of architecture, it breaks through the routine of traditional TV dramas; in terms of plot, it elevates the family drama model to a very high level.In terms of acting skills, actors such as Adam Cheng, Andy Lau, Joey Wong, and Lam Jieying all performed wonderfully in the play...
The plot of "The Great Age" has been talked about from the 1960s to the 1990s, to be precise, 1994.
It is only 1988 that what happened in the next few years is Kang Jianfei's speculation and nonsense.
The impact of "The Great Era" not only caused the streets of Hong Kong to be scarce during the broadcast period, but also caused the Hong Kong stock market, which had just begun to recover, to experience several minor declines again.
As for Feng Huáng TV, it seems that it is not much better than TVB. The ratings of TV series are sometimes good and sometimes bad, but overall they are slightly higher than TVB.
