The finale of "News Queen" is over, have you all watched it?!
In other words, TVB really dared to shoot, and the sheep reacted when he saw the appearance of Huang Zongze at the end: Isn't this TVB's own internal story?
Many people have analyzed on the Internet that in the play, Fang Taiyuan type Fang Yihua, Sister Man prototype Zeng Lizhen, and George prototype Le Yiling.
What about Huang Zongze's role? That is, Zeng Zhiwei, the current general manager of TVB.
From left, they are Fang Yihua, Zeng Lizhen, and Le Yiling
We always say that the workplace dramas filmed by TVB are real and exciting, but have you ever thought about it, maybe this is because TVB itself is the biggest "palace fighting place"?
Today's Saturday is a little lighthearted, and the sheep will tell you about TVB gossip: the former light of East Asian film and television, why it became a mountain and failed a mountain.
Liang Jiashu vs Zeng Lizhen
The millennial infighting drama of Liang Zeng's two factions
Like "News Queen", TVB's hillside culture, that is, internal factional competition, has a long history and is already well-known in Hong Kong.
Sister Wang Mingquan once said directly during TVB's celebration: I hope the company's mountain culture will be less
After the live broadcast, Sister A's husband Luo Jiaying even made public "duties" Wang Mingquan said too gently, not exciting at all.
"Let's be bold to say it, anyway, the live broadcast is constantly pinching, and TVB's problem is that there are too many mountains!"
After Zeng Zhiwei joined TVB's senior management, he also said: I hope to completely eradicate the internal mountain culture.
Now TVB's big boss Li Ruigang also bluntly said that the company's internal aging is serious, and if it is not reformed, it will be gone!
Yes, within TVB, there is only a cruel mountain law, and there is no civilized moral order.
No matter how big the artist is, it is difficult to completely get out of the control of the bosses.
If you want to survive in TVB, you have to learn to stand in line, if you don't want to?
I'm sorry, Hawick Lau didn't find this person on TVB because he was too "high".
And when it comes to who the mountain bosses of TVB are... I don't know if you have watched TVB's Taiwan celebration.
Generally speaking, actors and singers will thank the organizer first when they win awards, but TVB's actors never thank TVB, but
"Thank you Brother Tommy, thank you Sister Jane, thank you Miss Le, thank you Sister Sandy. ”
The order of thanks of these four people is also very important, and generally the first person to thank is the artist of whose faction.
Brother Tommy, Sister Jane, Miss Le, Sister Sandy, these four bigwigs are the four major mountains of TVB.
TVB's earliest and most well-known infighting started with Brother Tommy and Sister Jane.
Tommy's original name was Liang Jiashu, and he used to be the director of TVB's drama production department, and around 2000, the Liang faction led by Liang Jiashu made a big splash in TVB.
The reason is very simple, look at what the plays he has produced
"Genesis", "Burning Ambition", "Court No. 1", "Criminal Investigation Files", "Wonderful Hands" and other popular dramas are all works of Tommy.
The generals of the Liang faction under Liang Jiashu, led by Xuan Xuan, Gu Tianle, and Luo Jialiang, also came out of the limelight around the millennium, among which Gu Tianle and Luo Jialiang won four emperors in five years
In fact, it can be seen from these dramas that the Liang faction specializes in workplace dramas, and characters such as lawyers, policemen, doctors, judges and other characters are often the protagonists in the plays.
In the first battle of the emperor, Huang Rihua, who was popular all over the sky with the corner of Qiao Feng in "Dragon Babu", thought that he was going to win the award, so he dressed as Qiao Feng and went to the scene, but he didn't expect that in the end, the emperor was Luo Jialiang
Luo Jialiang is a popular artist of Liang Jiashu, but Huang Rihua had rumors of discord with Liang Jiashu before, and the dispute between the emperor and the outside world has further exacerbated the impression of these things.
Xuan Xuan also accidentally said when she got the back view: Thank you to many people who have helped me secretly.
Chen Baiqiang (Hurry): Did you secretly help?
Xuan Xuan (embarrassed smile): Anyway, thank you
In 2000, "Men and Women Love" was well received, and Zheng Yuling also won the TV with this drama, and at the awards ceremony, Zeng Zhiwei directly provoked the topic of Xuan Xuan last year-
He directly asked Wang Mingquan of the Liang faction next to him if he had any inside story last year.
Tsk, look at the timing of this greeting, Zeng Zhiwei's time to add to the fire.
Because of what? Because he was sent by Zeng.
That's right, Zeng Zhiwei is the cousin of Sister Zhen Zeng Lizhen.
Sister Zhen is a ruthless person, starting from a choreographer and director in 74 years to become the boss of the production department, and after the millennium, Sister Zhen began to expand her strength against the Liang faction.
That year, after Zeng Zhiwei ridiculed Xuanxuan of the Liang faction, Ouyang Zhenhua came to power to take the emperor.
As Sister Zhen's favorite award, Ouyang Zhenhua's first sentence was: From now on, I don't believe that this world has a decision.
In 2018, Ouyang Zhenhua was the guest of honor, and the first sentence was to thank Sister Zhen, and then "retaliated" to thank Liang Jiashu, who had left TVB.
It is rumored that Sister Zhen doesn't talk much, and she pays great attention to the efficiency and strength of her subordinates, and if she doesn't agree, she scolds (exaggerates), so the artists under her are afraid of her.
However, Sister Zhen is ruthless, and she is really "stable" in her work.
At that time, in order to suppress the Liang faction, he directly used means to squeeze out Liang Jiashu's wife, Xiao Xiaoming, who is also Gu Tianle's agent.
Xiao Xiaoming had the grace of knowing Gu Tianle, and when Gu Tianle's reputation was the worst, she tried her best to let Gu Tianle take over "Looking for Qin", and she also won the emperor.
As soon as Xiao Xiaoming left, Louis Koo quit first, he simply left TVB and embarked on the road of movies.
Of course, Zeng Liang and the two fought back and forth just to use their power.
For example, Sister Zhen once made Liang Pai's "No. 1 Imperial Court" broadcast at 10 o'clock, but she didn't expect that the audience of this workplace drama was not an eight-o'clock file, and she inadvertently created a hit for Liang Pai
Sister Zeng attaches great importance to strength, and her artists include Ouyang Zhenhua, Cai Shaofen, Chen Hao, Yang Yi, Zhang Zhilin and others.
But there will always be people who fall prey to factional struggles.
For example, the heroine of Liang Pai's work "Student Police Sniper" was originally scheduled to be Yang Yi, but in order to suppress the other party, Sister Zhen deliberately did not give Yang Yi a slot, causing Yang Yi to lose a good opportunity in her career.
In addition to work, the two are also fighting in private.
For example, once Sister Zhen took her employees to have a dinner, but it didn't take long for Liang Jiashu to rush to the next door with a team of people.
After eating, the two sides began to play lottery games, and the lottery given by Sister Zhen was a DVD, and then Liang Jiashu increased the code to five days of paid vacation.
After the whole meal, the voices and colors on both sides are getting louder and louder, and it is a kind of momentum that wants to overwhelm the other in all aspects...
But no matter how ruthless Liang Jiashu fought in private, the champion of this infighting was Sister Zhen.
Since Gu Tianle left, Luo Jialiang, Xuan Xuan, Zhang Keyi and others have left TVB one after another, and since then the Liang faction has gradually withered.
In 2015, Sister Zhen put Hu Dingxin, the supporting role of Wannian, in the position of the rear of the eye, and the person she defeated was Sister Wang Mingquan.
Sister A's husband Luo Jiaying also posted an article secretly mocking that Wang Mingquan lost to Shantou Culture, after all, "the Liang faction has withered, you understand".
However, will TVB really make Zeng Lizhen's family dominant?
Impossible
Halfway to kill Le Yiling, TVB has changed to play appearance?
is different from Sister Zhen, who has worked hard all the way, Le Yiling belongs to the high-level position of Xiao Xiaoming who was parachuted into the previous one, and is mainly responsible for artist management.
And perhaps the two have different experiences, so their preferences for actors are also different: Sister Zhen values strength, and Miss Le values appearance.
Sister Zhen on the left, Miss Le on the right
Why does the sheep say that Le Yiling is good looking?
For example: Huang Zongze, Zheng Jiaying, Lin Feng, Charmaine Sheh and others are all generals under Miss Le.
Under the support of Le Yiling, Zheng Jiaying once won the Emperor of Vision with "Lovers Under the Sky", but because the reputation of this drama is not up to par at all, Zheng Jiaying is called the "Water Emperor".
In Miss Le, Zheng Jiaying can be described as a son-like treatment.
During the filming of "Fire Ambition", in order to add drama to Zheng Jiaying, Miss Le forced the male protagonist Wang Xi to lie on the hospital bed for 10 episodes, causing the ratings to plummet.
And because of the private suppression of other actors, it is said that Le Yiling was also cut by TVB's top management, and her status was once in jeopardy.
But the mountain culture plays with a heartbeat: the boss must dare, and the younger brother must be loyal.
Just like Louis Koo also left TVB after Xiao Xiaoming left, Zheng Jiaying also publicly pledged allegiance after filming "Step by Step" became popular-
"As long as she is in TVB for one day, you will not see me on another TV station, because Miss Le is only in TVB. ”
Listen, what a sincere and moving oath
TVB's bigwigs attach great importance to the loyalty of their actors.
For example, Hong Kong sister Xu Zishan won Sister Zhen's heart when she first debuted, but because she talked openly about sex in front of the camera, she humiliated Sister Hong Kong and her dignified image, so she was hidden.
is obviously Sister Zeng's person, but how did Xu Zishan do it?
In the end, she was able to make a comeback because she apologized to Miss Le, and after winning the award in 07, she did not mention Sister Zhen, but only thanked Le Yiling.
Even, she knelt directly in the background to thank Le Yiling for helping.
Reputedly... It is said that after Sister Zhen found out, she was furious and kicked Xu Zishan out of the elevator.
Since then, Xu Zishan has also begun to be suppressed by Sister Zhen, and her star career has dimmed, and finally chose to withdraw from the circle.
This is the way to fight between the top executives, and there is no doubt that they are all about artists.
Do you still remember Ma Jun's great family? It is Kangxi in Chen Xiaochun's version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding".
As Sister Zhen's "godson", Le Yiling will definitely not let him go.
In 09, when Ma Junwei was about to renew his contract with TVB, Le Yiling began to stumble and refused on the grounds that his image was "not in the house".
Angry Sister Zhen sarcastically: Don't enter the house? I don't think you will enter your house!
Although with the efforts of Sister Zhen, Ma Junwei finally completed the contract renewal, but the resources gradually deteriorated due to Le Yiling's intervention, and he almost couldn't receive advertising endorsements.
Le Yiling not only arranged Ma Junwei's hit dramas in non-prime time, but even privately helped him refuse the sky-high price of 150w episodes.
Ma Junwei and Sister Zhen
At the Taiwan celebration that year, a reporter asked Ma Junwei and Le Yiling to take a photo, but Ma Junwei directly refused: I am very busy.
In the end, it was Sister Zhen who pushed Ma Junwei away... It made the scene very embarrassing for a while.
Many people say that Sister Zhen loves Gong Dou, but in fact, she is also the originator of Gong Dou dramas.
Since the explosion of "Golden Branches", Sister Zhen has started to shoot this kind of farce, the female fight is the palace fight script, and the male fight is-
"Eat, Liang Feifei!"
That's right, this classic line is from Sister Zhen's family
In TVB, Li Zi originally belonged to the centrists.
But in order to fight against Le Yiling's Charmaine Sheh, Sister Zhen wooed Li Zi and successfully made her beat Charmaine Sheh with "The Desire of the Golden Branch" to become the queen.
And Charmaine Sheh, who belongs to the music school, in order not to offend the bigwigs, did not show loyalty like her predecessors in the later period, but kept saying that she was an apple pie.
Le Yiling has strong means, but Sister Zhen has never been a soft persimmon.
cousin Zeng Zhiwei once publicly scandalized Miss Le's double standard on stage, and the target used to joke was Le Yiling's love general Xiaosheng Lin Feng.
and also hinted that every year on Le Yiling's birthday, the artist will give her a high gift
The two fought back and forth, until another big man, Yu Yongshan, appeared on the stage
When will TVB's hill culture be closed?
Yu Yongshan is the sister Sandy who the artists thanked when they spoke.
Sister Sandy started as a variety show, and Huang Cuiru and Hong Yongcheng, who were very popular in those two years, were the people she brought over, and she also brought her husband, who was the boss of a record company, to do variety shows.
In 2013, Sister Sandy launched the artist singing program "Legend of Star Dreams", and TVB took the opportunity to set up a record company to cooperate with Sister Sandy's husband.
The ratings of this variety show are good, looking at the menacing "enemy", Sister Zhen and Miss Le even have a honeymoon period.
During that time, even Ma Junwei and Le Yiling released their suspicions.
Later, Sister Zhen began to cooperate with Sandy to squeeze out Miss Le, and it was bound to get Miss Le to go to the Shaw Movies.
After Miss Le lost power, her actors were also isolated in TVB.
For example, Lin Feng, who she loved before, became a popular candidate for Emperor Shi with "Thunder Sweeping Drugs", but in order to prevent Lin Feng from winning the award, Sister Zhen and Sister Sandy jointly changed the voting rules.
Sister Le's celebrity Zhong Jiaxin and Lin Feng were also squeezed out, not only did they not get the aftermath, but they were also complained by Sister Zhen that they had a bad work attitude and often asked for leave.
The people on the Shanpai side also threatened: You still have five years of contract, and it will be easy to hide you.
Time came to 15 years, Li Ruigang replaced the "Shell King" as the big boss, and Zeng Zhiwei also parachuted into the high-level.
But at this time, TVB has long since ceased to be beautiful, the Four Heavenly Kings will no longer sing one after another, and the Taiqing scene is no longer star-studded.
Liang Jiashu retired, Le Yiling lost power, Yu Yongshan left, and only Zeng Lizhen's cousin Zeng Zhiwei stayed in TVB.
From this point of view, if you have to give these four people a champion in the infighting, it must be the ruthless Sister Zhen.
Seeing this, some sisters want to ask: Isn't it true that a company doesn't have a boss and doesn't care about watching his senior executives fight like this?
However, infighting is TVB's corporate culture.
Mr. and Mrs. Run Run Shaw
In the early days, there was a sensational "Battle of Wutai Mountain" in the Hong Kong film and television industry, which was simply a dispute between five media giants, namely ATV, TVB, Jiayi, Commercial Radio, and Radio Television Hong Kong.
In order to defeat his competitors, Run Run Shaw led the TV, and to a certain extent, the company rolled up good results with factional struggles.
Shaw supported several factions, and the bosses of each faction began to recruit artists and screenwriters to strengthen their ranks.
Especially during the period of infighting between Liang Jiashu and Zeng Lizhen, the reputation and ratings of Hong Kong dramas reached their peak.
Yang said before that Miss Le was airborne, but in fact, she was arranged by Run Run Shaw's wife Fang Yihua.
Fang Tai observed the decline of Liang Jiashu's power, and in order to prevent Sister Zhen's family from becoming dominant, he let Le Yiling enter the company for checks and balances.
After all, TVB's success depends on the blossoming of a hundred flowers achieved by internal competition.
Le Yiling and Fang Tai
But the crux of the matter is that today's TVB has already become the No. 1 in Hong Kong, and at this time it is still playing infighting, which is not healthy competition, but excessive internal friction.
The result of excessive internal friction is: the actors are inexplicably suppressed, and good dramas cannot be launched normally.
And now, although Zeng Zhiwei has said that he wants to eradicate the mountain culture, how can the foundation of the factional struggle over the years be so easy to eradicate?
What's more, Zeng Zhiwei was already a beneficiary of the factional struggle.
In recent years, TVB's reputation has declined is a visible fact, and the rise of the Internet has impacted the TV industry, and many advertisers no longer choose TVB.
TVB had no choice but to choose to cooperate with some Internet film and television platforms in the mainland, such as "News Queen", which was co-produced with Youku.
has suffered from external shocks, and the internal friction over the years has greatly damaged TVB's reputation.
is still fighting, and what is fighting is nothing more than the vitality of TVB.
And is "News Queen" a flash in the pan of TVB, or a clarion call for it to return to the top?
We'll see.
