Hong Kong dramas continue to be sluggish, and the audience generally reacts that TVB dramas are getting worse and worse, making it impossible for people to catch up. Since January 2021, Zeng Zhiwei has been appointed deputy general manager and special advisor to the administrative committee of TVB, with overall responsibility for the variety show and infotainment segments. In September, he was appointed as the general manager, responsible for the main content operation of TVB, including the production of variety shows, co-productions, music and other works, program procurement and planning.
In order to revitalize TVB's former glory, Zeng Zhiwei's position has risen again in a short period of time, and Zeng Zhiwei has also introduced new ideas and ideas after taking office. It is bound to destroy the company's original mountain culture headed by Zeng Lizhen and Le Yiling, so that more newcomers have the opportunity to display their talents.
Due to the loss of gold medal screenwriters and producers in these years, the departure of a brother and a sister, the retirement of the older generation of classic supporting roles, and the desire for TVB to show its might, it is really not an overnight thing.
However, in the 2021 Miss Hong Kong election, Tsang Chi-wai invited Jacky Cheung to sing three songs in a row, and also sang a song with others, and the entire Hong Kong Sister Competition almost made Jacky Cheung's concert, which was quite attractive. And the new Miss Hong Kong looks quite good, and it is indeed better than in previous years.
In november just ended the TVB celebration, Zeng Zhiwei will Chen Ziyao, Wang Haoxin, Cai Sibei's emotional drama arched on the stage, won the ratings and super high topic degree, Zeng Zhiwei is still very good at engaging in topics, Bo eyeballs, intensive reading the audience's heart "what you want to see, I will show you." Let the audience's attention once again focus on TVB, which has already begun to decline.
Zeng Zhiwei invited Ye Nianchen, who is very good at shooting love movies in the Hong Kong circle, as a director, and wanted to create a classic drama with super high ratings like the Korean version of "The Penthouse".
The Korean version of "Penthouse" includes many dog blood elements, this Korean drama that combines elements such as derailment, suspense, wealth grabbing, revenge, and money transactions far exceeds all previous Korean dramas, and many people say that it breaks the ceiling of dog blood dramas. However, this ceiling is in the second season, and the third season is surpassed by itself. This is that the opponent is always himself, and only he can surpass himself.
"Penthouse" is both the place where the characters live in the play and the place where the story takes place, and this splendid top apartment called "Hera Palace" is full of bloody rain. This 100-storey top-of-the-line apartment, the higher the status represents. In order to join the upper class, they gamble on life and do whatever it takes.
The plot is constantly reversed and reversed, what you see and hear is not necessarily the truth, you think that the characters who have died in the play can be resurrected or reborn in various ways repeatedly. Gold medal screenwriters are not blown, and can always make you look suspicious of life.
And a good drama can not be separated from good actors, there are three heroines of this drama, female lead: Lee Ji-ya, Liu Zhen, Kim So-yeon, so that you can't see who is in the end, because everyone is like the protagonist, and everyone's acting skills make you stunned.
Even the supporting roles make you not to be underestimated, and even the newcomer actors who are just emerging have soared in acting skills, and there is no embarrassment to speak of.
Male lead actor: Yan Jijun, who has won the Best Acting Award of TV Series, Top Musical Singer; Bong Tae-kuei, Film Cafe, Qinglong Award for Best Supporting Actor; Yoon Joong-hoon, SBS Acting Awards Outstanding Acting Award.
How can the Hong Kong version surpass these powerful factions that coexist in appearance and acting skills? The Korean drama "Penthouse" has set an average rating of 24%.
For TV stations, ratings are everything. Zeng Zhiwei used a new generation of small flowers in this drama and played an important role in the play. Liu Peiyue, Jiang Jiamin, Cai Jie and Chen Ying.
Liu Peiyue is the third runner-up of Hong Kong Sister in 2013, and Hong Kong Sister signed a contract with Chen Kailin and Cai Sibei after winning the award. Unfortunately, Chen Kailin was quickly praised, and Cai Sibei took the throne after getting married and having children. And Liu Peiyue, whose acting skills are far better than the two, has never received attention.
In fact, Liu Peiyue played Huang Zongze's Xiaosan in "Behind the Scenes Player" has been very successful in revealing his acting talent, and his performance in "Twelve Legends" and "Flying Tiger's Thunder Pole Battle" has received a lot of praise, and in recent years, the TVB Hong Kong drama "The Case Of Contrarian Strange" that has rarely exploded in word of mouth can be said to occupy a lot of topics and heat, and Liu Peiyue's acting skills involved in it are indeed remarkable.
This time, Liu Peiyue was appreciated by Zeng Zhiweifu, and his appearance was very recognizable, and he was also a rare small flower Dan who could act at TVB, and the scandals were still rare. The future development is unlimited, but I don't know which role I will play in "The Penthouse".
Jiang Jiamin, in the early days, played the role of a squire in the costume TVB drama, and then played soy sauce in major dramas, for many years he could not shake off the temperament of the girl next door, or a special actor of TVB's "Royal Daughter", and in 2020, he won the "Leap Forward Actress" with the drama "Anti-Black Road Man A", and his acting skills were good and recognized by the audience.
The pure-looking Jiang Jiamin actually worked with Ye Nianchen before, and in 2013, Jiang Jiamin made her first actress in Ye Nianchen's film "The First Time Is Not You". In the play, Jiang Jiamin has a breakthrough performance, and even a shot of her changing her shirt in front of the camera and her jade back being exposed. In the film, the role played by Jiang Jiamin changed from a little girl, to a supportive girl, and later to a human wife.
I believe that Ye Nianchen also saw the potential and plasticity of Jiang Jiamin, and would invite her to star in "The Penthouse" as a producer.
Cai Jie, many people are not familiar with. In fact, Cai Jie was born in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, graduated from the Directing Department of Jinan University in Guangzhou, and once received Zhang Tielin's green eyes and became his apprentice. In 2012, Cai Jie won the Miss Chinese melbourne title and then returned to Hong Kong to participate in the Miss China International contest, but failed to enter the final five.
Cai Jie has participated in the filming of many Hong Kong films such as "Macau Storm 2", "Little Reunion on Earth", "Kill the Wolf" and other films. He was also nominated for Best Newcomer Actor at the 34th Academy Awards for "A Small Reunion on Earth".
However, Cai Jie's agency is the sun entertainment culture of washing mihua, not a TVB artist.
The 31-year-old Chen Ying and he Youheng, the son of the gambling king's fourth wife Liang Anqi, had many scandals, and he also accompanied He Youheng to appear at the gambling king's funeral. In appearance, it is also very recognizable, and it is rare to have an artist who is good at acting with his eyes in TVB Xiaohuadan.
Chen Ying's play path is very wide, and he can adapt to different role assignments, but his acting skills are unstable and he lacks experience and tempering. But in the new generation, it is indeed very outstanding, and it also has the potential to pick a beam.
The actors selected this time are all artists who have not been popular before, but have great potential. However, the heroines in the Korean version of "Penthouse" are all Mesozoic forces, and I don't know if the little Hua Dan that Zeng Zhiwei painstakingly selected can bear the burden.
This group of small Hua Dan is between 29-31 years old, and it seems that the successful women who play middle-aged careers are still too young. Netizens have long discussed that Xuan Xuan, Cai Shaofen, Deng Cuiwen, and Zhang Keyi starring in "The Penthouse" must be very interesting. In addition, the scale of the Korean version is relatively large, and the adaptation should not reach that level, which may affect the play of the entire dog blood drama and disappoint the loyal audience of the original version.
This drama can also be regarded as the ambition of Zeng Zhiwei after taking office, but the reason why the classic is called a classic is because it is difficult to surpass, and I don't know if the Hong Kong version of "Penthouse" can realize Zeng Zhiwei's dream and lead TVB to reshape its glory?
