The Taiwan Television Golden Bell Awards have been criticized many times in recent years, mainly because the award ceremony is too complicated and huge, the drama and non-drama categories are held together, and the number of awards is extremely large, so long that even the guests can't help but fall asleep. Recently, the organizing committee finally made a decision to split the award ceremony.
It is understood that the plan of the organizing committee is to separate the drama categories, while the remaining non-drama categories (mainly variety shows, but also including information, children, documentaries, networks, etc.) remain as they are, and the two are not carried out on the same day. For this plan, Wu Zongxian and Zeng Guocheng, the king of variety shows, strongly opposed it.
Wu Zongxian believes that variety shows and dramas are part of television, the two should have communicated with each other, if you think that the award ceremony is too long, then you can hold the time earlier, even together with the broadcast Golden Bell Award, "let the radio class be awarded first during the day, through the radio live broadcast to the audience, anyway, the radio is to listen to the sound, this can not be on the same day to heat up the ceremony atmosphere?" Moreover, separating the half is a waste of money. ”
In addition, Wu Zongxian also pointed out that the reason why the Golden Bell Awards are not valued is not because the award ceremony is too long, but because it is not open enough, there is not enough high-quality content to compete, he believes that it should be open to global Chinese programs to compete together. "There is no market where the factory comes from, why does the production unit have no money to do the program?" It's because it's compressed! ”
Huang Ziling's view is different from Wu Zongxian and Zeng Guocheng, he believes that the separation of drama and non-drama awards is the world trend, and when the two were held together, it caused great pressure on the host and behind-the-scenes staff.
"If held separately, the staff is much easier, and one ceremony is divided into two, the demand of the staff increases, and invisibly increases the employment opportunities." The only pity is that in the past, people from the two fields were brought together, and there would be theater celebrities under the podium to take pictures for me, and now they are all their own people. But I think the best part is that the audience voting option has been added, which allows the really popular show to be recognized. Huang Ziling said with a smile.
If the big guys in the variety show circle have different opinions on the split, then the theater industry is all in favor of it, and the Taiwan opera practitioners who have shown signs of revival in recent years obviously do not want to play with the variety show circle. Chen Huiling, a theater judge of the Golden Bell Awards for many times and a well-known producer on the island, said that the split can help the development of the industry, and other awards can be added to encourage behind the scenes, which should have been carried out a long time ago, "Taiwan drama is rising, it needs exposure, and it needs to encourage more behind-the-scenes personnel." ”
To tell the truth, the drama awards and non-drama awards are indeed a bit unusual, and it is easy to distract the media and the audience, so it is absolutely correct to split them and develop separately.
