At the end of December, friends who are familiar with TVB should also know that the annual "Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony" is about to be "wonderful" again.
Although the cast of TVB in recent years is somewhat lonely and awkward compared to the era of "strong soldiers and strong horses". In the eyes of the outside world, the annual "Ten Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony" is TVB's internal self-amusement, but this will not affect the attention of most Hong Kong drama fans to this grand event.
I believe that at the annual awards ceremony, whether it is the selection of the best actor, actress, or the best drama, it seems that it is not so deserved, so it is difficult to convince the outside world.
In fact, there is only one reason for this result, that is, it is most directly related to the power struggle within the top level.
The top three feet stand tall
Since the departure of drama director Liang Jiashu many years ago and the strong addition of former cable TV executive Yu Yongshan (Sandy), TVB has formed three giants led by Yu Yongshan Yupai, Le Yiling Le school, and Zeng Lizhen Zeng faction, controlling the entire TVB.
It is said that three women are a drama, but these three women are not ordinary women, and their competitive spirit and fighting spirit are far beyond ordinary women. Therefore, the struggle within TVB in recent years is far more exciting than the palace scheming.
First, in order to consolidate his power, Zeng Lizhen took the initiative to join forces with the newly joined Yu Yongshan to percuse Le Yiling. Artists who will pass the line will be strongly promoted, and Huang Cuiru and Hong Yongcheng, a pair of joyful rivals, are the best examples.
With the gradual reduction of her own influence, in recent years, the courageous Miss Le has fortunately given up TVB directly to become the director of Shaw Film and Television, and began to work closely with the mainland, but achieved good results.
After Zeng Lizhen and Yu Yongshan saw that Le Yiling took the initiative to give way, they quickly ended their cooperation and began to release themselves and develop independently. However, after all calculations, what neither of them expected was that in the middle of this, they suddenly "killed" a Du Zhike and formed a new gang: Du Pai.
And Du Pai, with the three fires of the new official taking office, has collected almost all the large-scale resources in recent years, which can be said to have unlimited scenery.
And Zeng Lizhen and Yu Yongshan could only remain silent. Therefore, although Miss Le is now in a state of withdrawal, at present, TVB still has formed a three-legged situation headed by Zeng Lizhen, Yu Yongshan and Du Zhike.
Pull gangs and factions huddle together for warmth
It is clear to see that if the gang had a strong momentum that year, by the awards ceremony at the end of the year, who would be the real big winner.
Like in the early years, when Yu Yongshan and Zeng Lizhen were in control of the overall situation, Huang Cuiru and Hong Yongcheng of the Yu sect, and Li Yaoxiang, Hu Dingxin, Chen Zhanpeng, Guo Jin'an and other people who were sent by the former faction can be described as having unlimited scenery and winning many awards.
In recent years, Du Zhike has made a strong attack and can be said to have become the uncrowned king at the award ceremony. And his beloved generals, Wang Haoxin, Tang Shiyong, Yuan Weihao and others, all became big winners. Not only did he sit in the front row and stand in the C position at the award ceremony, but he also stole almost all the big resources.
In fact, having said all this, the power struggle at the top directly affects the popularity and exposure of the artists in his hands. Therefore, the annual award ceremony can be said to be a direct reflection of which senior management has become the biggest winner.
So in the end, the hardest thing is the ARTISTS at TVB, with their already low salaries, and they have to become victims of power struggles, and it is strange that they will not leave the nest in the end!
Of course, Xiaobian also found that in the award ceremonies in these years, there is an award that is really deserved, not swayed by the power struggle, and has become the only fig leaf in the entire award ceremony. It's not too much attention, it's not too low: Best Supporting Actor.
Looking back at the best supporting actors in recent years, I believe that when the editor mentioned their names, everyone who is a fan of Hong Kong dramas absolutely gave a thumbs up to their acting skills, and there was no controversy.
2011: Huang Zhixian, "Stealth Sniper"
Huang Zhixian in "Stealth Sniper" really played the most flawless acting skills. He played the role of "Spicy Ginger Brother" in the play, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and won the best supporting actor that year is absolutely deserved.
It may also be that the impression of "Spicy Ginger Brother" at that time was too profound, so that watching Huang Zhixian acting over the years has a kind of "bad face"
The stereotype, and there is always a shadow of "Spicy Ginger Brother" on the body, I wonder if everyone has this feeling?
2012: Gu Minghua,"Mother Who Wants"
The competition for Best Supporting Actor in 2012 was quite fierce. The last two are Gu Minghua's "Wish mother" and Chen Guobang's "The Great Eunuch", both of which are powerful factions, and whoever wins the award is not surprising. In the end, Gu Minghua successfully ran out with the likability of the role.
Although Gu Minghua has now left TVB, in tvb for more than two decades, Gu Minghua has dedicated too many classic screen roles, and his acting skills are not only comparable to a best supporting actor.
2013: Xu Shaoxiong, "My Shenglady"
If Xu Shaoxiong wins the award based on his acting skills, it is completely easy, but he is not willing to give it to the high-level music. In 2013, he won a successful award for his comedy role in the Taiwanese drama "My ShengLady". In the play and Jiang Meiyi's opponent scene, until now it is impressive.
2014: Jiang Zhiguang, "Old Watch, Hello hea!" 》
Jiang Zhiguang was most happy to win the award that year, Wang Zulan, because it was he who invited him to star in "Old Watch, Hello hea!" this series.
And when Jiang Meiyi, as the guest of honor, said the three words of Jiang Zhiguang, the audience stood up and applauded, believing that such a high degree of recognition is also unprecedented within TVB, and there is no one after it.
2016: Cao Yonglian's "Father-in-law Out of the Palace"
First of all, I have to say that the drama "Gonggong Out of the Palace" is quite brilliant, and the "girly" played by Cao Yonglian in the play is a very characteristic and eye-catching role. And he did not live up to the expectations of the executive producer and the audience, and dedicated a perfect "Little Phoenix".
Of course, Wu Dairong's performance in "Giant Wheel 2" was equally wonderful, but the likability of the role was still not as good as Cao Yonglian's "thin chicken", but it is undeniable that both of them are deserved.
In the editor's opinion, the best supporting actor is not as beautiful as the best actor award, so much attention. But this is also the only award that the green leaf and supporting actors who have been working in TVB for many years can win.
Thankfully, TVB executives still retain a hint of warmth, and every year they give this best supporting actor a well-deserved award to the people who deserve to win the award, rather than as a victim of the power struggle.
Finally, I would like to say that TVB's mountain culture has existed since the establishment of Taiwan, and it is almost impossible to change it.
Therefore, as a TVB artist, you must not only learn how to act well to leave a good impression on the audience, but also learn to stand in line within the company with clear factions, and do not be a wall grass. After all, it is still the same sentence: natural selection, survival of the fittest.
