TVB and Hong Kong and Taiwan held an awards ceremony and joint press conference on the afternoon of the 5th, and invited dozens of singers and senior executives from major record companies in Hong Kong to participate, which can be described as a huge momentum, but pro-ViuTV fans and local netizens did not appear because of MIRARROR and ERROR, and then angrily criticized TVB for deliberately suppressing, narrow-minded, and engaging in small circle games. In this regard, TVB general manager Zeng Zhiwei shouted unjustly.
"At this press conference, we invited the whole Hong Kong media and peers to participate, mirror, ERROR, how come we did not invite?" But they are too busy, ViuTV executives replied to me that the crew is very busy, to shoot, can not come, then there is no way. Zeng Zhiwei said helplessly when interviewed.
As for netizens and pro-ViuTV camps claiming that TVB and Hong Kong and Taiwan jointly organized the award ceremony to combat ViuTV and MIRAR, Zeng Zhiwei also solemnly denied it, saying that TVB hoped that more institutions and singers would join in the grand event, and the door to participation was always open.
"We hope that the award ceremony can gather people from all walks of life in the music industry, as long as they are not busy, they can come to participate, which is a grand event." Cantonese songs used to have a very high status, how can they regain their glory? The most important thing is that we also agree with our own people, and we can do it together with our support. ”
Zeng Zhiwei stressed that he has no view of the portal, the award ceremony is set in April is not to fight in the ring, but to avoid the Academy Awards, and he is open to TVB singers debuting in ViuTV, ViuTV artists appearing on TVB, "ViuTV broadcast of "叱咤" We arranged for Yan Mingxi and Yao Zhuofei to take the stage, isn't this going to appear on the friendly stage? There were no problems and we were welcome. I remember that on the first day of work, I called Lu Tinghui (director of ViuTV) and asked him if he could let MIRARO record on TVB, and his reply was of course not. I actually asked.

A reporter asked whether the new award ceremony is scheduled to be held on April 3, but if MIRROR popular member Lu Hanting wants to hold a concert on the same day, will the chances of winning the award be greatly reduced? Zeng Zhiwei responded that in the past, there have also been many examples of singers absent from winning awards, and whether they win awards or not has nothing to do with whether they can attend or not. "The award ceremony will give the list of winners according to the selection mechanism."
Hong Kong and Taiwan executive Shi Jin Awards said that the merger of the award ceremony does not mean that the "Golden List of Songs" and "Chinese Song Dragon and Tiger List" will be cancelled, and the achievements of all Hong Kong singers in both lists will be counted. "We will put these songs together, put them on the shortlist, and then according to the voting mechanism, we will determine which songs can be ranked in the top ten songs, and which singers can win the male singer award and the female singer award." All in all, it will be a fair and transparent mechanism. ”
In my opinion, it should be true that TVB and Hong Kong and Taiwan invited ViuTV artists to participate, after all, Zeng Zhiwei said so much, ViuTV executives did not come out to deny it, and the accusations of some local media and netizens were simply untenable. Of course, the double standard is very skilled for the pro-ViuTV camp, as if they are very concerned about the problem of overwork in front of and behind the TVB station, but they gently let go of their own MIRROR overwork and the sudden death of the cameraman.
