On March 9, according to Hong Kong media reports, Yu Yang, a 74-year-old veteran actor, was interviewed, and he criticized his old owner TVB, which immediately caused heated discussion among netizens.
The tvB hit drama "Family Glory", since its broadcast, the ratings are very ideal, and it is expected to become the annual champion. The performances of a number of actors are highly recognized, including Yu Yang.
In fact, this drama is not a TVB self-made drama, but a co-production drama between other entertainment companies and the mainland, which has been broadcast in the mainland before, and the response is quite good.
At the time of filming this play, Yu Yang had already left the nest, looking back on the mental journey of playing TVB for thirty years, he did not say that TVB was useless like other artists who left the nest, but first promoted and then suppressed.
He confessed that the company was not thin to him, and gave him a salary increase of more than ten percent every year, otherwise he would not have done it for so long. The reason for leaving, he said, was the company's administrative problem.
Although Yu Yang is quite satisfied with his salary, he has a lot of opinions about other aspects of TVB. He believes that actors have no autonomy in filming, and the company must pay as many shows as you sign, even if it is not suitable or does not want to pick up, it must be forced to you, otherwise you will push the drama.
Over the years, the quality of TVB dramas has declined, the ratings have become worse and worse, and the "Criminal Investigation Diary" broadcast last year even broke the lowest rating since the opening of the station.
As a former member, Yu Yang is very heartbroken, he feels that TVB's current script is very poor, the role setting is very thin, but the most important problem to be solved is the brain drain. He complained that TVB always couldn't keep people, especially those who were strong and cultured, precisely because the wages were low and hard.
He took the example of "Family Glory", in which he participated, when filming this scene, the crew not only allowed him to have enough rest time, but also the artificial staff was higher than TVB, and the pressure was not so great.
Yu Yang suggested that TVB, like the previous five tiger generals, systematically win the new people, and do not play the main role without a plan. Many viewers are not familiar with this batch, and a new batch has been launched, resulting in the audience not knowing all, and should listen to the opinions of family audiences.
After reading Yu Yang's report, netizens left messages and likes.
Seriously, TVB's way of praising people has been questioned. Many people should know that TVB has founded an artist training class, and many big coffees such as Stephen Chow, Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Liu Jialing and so on are from the training class.
However, after entering 2000, TVB rarely praised artists from training classes, but liked to praise Hong Kong sisters who had no professional training, and perhaps directly found someone from the outside to play the main role.
TVB now has a small number of first-line artists from the training class, which has led to many talented and young people who love to perform, no longer keen to join the training class, resulting in a vicious circle.
Fortunately, TVB has realized the problem in the past two years, and Zhou Jialuo and Wu Weihao, who are highly regarded as new students, are all from the training class, and the results are good.
