For some time, TVB because of the refusal to complete the ThongPozai surgery of the 71-year-old actor Peter Li returned to work, was found by the other side to find relatives and friends of the taiwan media repeatedly attacked the news, once again fell into public opinion controversy, after which the top management finally agreed to continue filming on March 1, but because a number of artists infected with the TV City must be stopped, the shooting was cancelled again, and the angry Peter Li at this time received rich funding, and did not disdain to return to the "Love Home Happy Express" crew, and once again criticized TVB with a broken attitude.
Is TVB doing it wrong? Is this decision it good or evil? In Hong Kong, the vast majority of media and netizens support Peter Lai, believing that this is ironclad evidence that TVB bullies the elderly and is ruthless and unjust. But in my opinion, TVB's approach is unreasonable, but reasonable.
Regarding the matter of Peter Li, the only thing THAT TVB did wrong was that it did not communicate well with Peter Li, which seemed a bit unkind, but the decision to stop work was no problem in itself. You can think about it, an old man in his 70s has just completed coronary stent implant surgery, he wants to go back to work, who dares to agree? Who is responsible for the accident? This is not a so-called consideration for capitalists, but it is really risky.
Peter Li participated in the long-form situation drama "Love Home Happy Express", which broadcasts 7 episodes per week, although the actor's income is not low and guaranteed, but the shooting must be very efficient, can Peter Li's body cope with such high-intensity work? Who can guarantee his safety?
If you pay attention to TVB for a long time, you will know about Chen Honglie in 2009, the 66-year-old he had a heart attack while filming the long-form situation drama "Beat Your Own People", and was sent to the hospital for treatment, and TVB at that time was blamed by the whole city. Since then, the executives have been quite cautious about the use of old actors in situation dramas, and everything is prioritized for health.
In addition, it must be emphasized that after Peter Li found relatives and friends on the Taiwan media to break the news, the TVB executives have allowed him to start filming this month, but later because of the epidemic situation of the crew, filming was temporarily stopped.
To be honest, TVB's mean cold-bloodedness is almost traditional and must be condemned, but this does not mean that any pot has to be carried back, and objective facts must be followed, and specific things must be analyzed.
Just like the much-criticized, one-year six Show, one year show policy for green leaf actors, although it is very unreasonable, but it is already a better guarantee treatment in the Hong Kong television circle, you know, another TV station ViuTV for elderly actors can usually be hired (not signed as artists), although the unit price is relatively high, but it is strictly according to the number of participation in the number of money, no basic salary, the lower part does not use you, when to use you again, how the price is, are unknown.
Personally, I think that TVB should perhaps reduce the scale of artists, give some artists the freedom to go on a rampage, find the price they should have, save money and resources for the artists who stay, so as not to be criticized by the Hong Kong media.
