TVB's internal factional struggles have long been an open secret.
After winning the "Battle of Wutai Mountain" that year, TVB became the only television station in Hong Kong.
In order to ensure the quality of production, Run Run Shaw encouraged factional struggle.
At the beginning, it was still quite effective, and by the 1990s, the quality of TVB dramas was superior, and what "Big Time", "Criminal Investigation Files", "Tianlong Eight Parts", etc., were all classics that could no longer be surpassed in Hong Kong dramas.
But as we enter the 21st century, the struggle has spiraled out of control.
The high-rise is no longer just about winning by improving the quality of their own work.
Before 2001, Liang Pai, led by Liang Jiashu, the director of the production department" "Tommy Brother", gradually led the way with excellent production quality.
In 1997, TVB began to hold a Taiwan celebration and awarded the Emperor TV Queen.
In the first five years of emperorship, The Liang faction's generals Luo Jialiang and Gu Tianle each took it twice, and the scenery was infinite.
In 2001, the ratings war, "In Search of Qin", "Magic Hand Benevolent Heart II" ranked second and third, and the champion was the purchased drama "Xiaobao and Kangxi";
Emperor Shi was taken down by Gu Tianle, and Wang Mingquan was also on the side of the Liang faction.
In the face of Liang Jiashu's overall victory, Zeng Lizhen, the boss of another major faction, could not sit still.
Rumor has it that she used resources to force Liang Jiashu's wife, Xiao Xiaoming, to leave her post.
Xiao Xiaoming pulled Gu Tianle with one hand, originally the treatment of TVB was very general, which directly made Gu Tianle discouraged and chose to leave.
In the next luo jialiang also chose to leave, Liang Jiashu lost his wang explosive combination and quickly lost power.
In 2002, Zeng Lizhen immediately won back a round with "Peerless Good Dad", although the ratings champion was Still Zhang Weijian, who returned with an outsourced drama.
In 2003, Liang Jiashu's "Jackie Chan" created a super high rating to win the championship, but it was already the end of the crossbow.
In 2004, Zeng Lizhen's "Dong Du Shen Detective" and "Golden Branch Desire" won the championship and laid the foundation for victory, and the palace fight and the master milk drama began to become the mainstream.
After such a fight, Liang Jiashu's faction was seriously injured.
Not only are the soldiers lost, but the standard of the plays produced is also declining.
After the rise of Zeng Lizhen, TVB did not get much better, the brain drain, the genre gradually became monotonous, and began to decline.
Liang Pai has always been the quality assurance of TVB dramas, but the factional struggle has made TVB itself self-destruct.
Previously, Liang had fought the fa, and the two sides studied their own subject matter, and TVB was able to diversify.
However, after this turning point in 2004, Liang Pai's business dramas and police dramas were becoming less and less, the style of the main drama declined, and comedy flooded.
So do you know why TVB's dramas are getting more and more nonsense?
The worst is the artist.
Gu Tianle Luo Jialiang these runaways, willing to stay in TVB talent, obviously good acting skills, but will suffer because of factional struggles.
More typical, such as Guo Jin'an.
With the defeat of Liang Jiashu's army, it was difficult for him to appear in the golden file after "The New Biography of Ngawang", and the audience's impression of him was slowly fading, and naturally it was impossible to catch fire.
Lin Feng missed the emperor because of the sudden change in the selection rules, and he was also discouraged, and then he no longer focused his career on TVB.
Zeng Lizhen not only suppressed the Liang Pai artists, but also did not let go of the artists on his side.
Zhang Keyi is a well-known person who ran away because of internal contradictions, and Xu Zishan was banned and fell directly from the peak to the bottom.
Obviously, they are already green and yellow, and they still have to squeeze talents like this internally, do you say that TVB can not lack people. Like when the Hong Kong film industry was competing for supremacy in the 80s, although Hong Jinbao of Jiahe shouted to overthrow the new art city, he was still willing to cooperate with the new art city in private, and Zeng Zhiwei was even more filmed on both sides, everyone was in order to make a good movie, and the competition was more beneficial than harmful.
In the 2015 battle, Wang Mingquan was inferior to Hu Dingxin, who had been praised by Zhen Zhen. Luo Jiaying said bluntly on social media that it was not because Liang Pai was no longer able to do it.
After that, he sneered at TVB in various ways, undeniably a little sour for others, but TVB's infighting seems to have a very bad impact.
In 2018, In Taiwan, Wang Mingquan made a public statement on the stage.
"The company's labor can be added a little, the rest time is a little more, the care is a little more, the mountain culture is a little less, and more talents will be retained."
It can be said that it is a sharp point in the problem of TVB.
Only a qualified person like her dared to do so.
In other words, other younger artists do not say on stage, and have opinions to say that they are heard in private, and every minute is hidden by the snow.
Fortunately, Wang Mingquan dared to say so, and TVB seems to have begun to adjust.
Zeng Zhiwei and Wang Zulan have become seniors, and more newcomers have the opportunity to perform.
Today is different from the past, since the factional struggle is more harmful than beneficial, TVB should immediately make a decision and reorganize the production department. If you still don't know how to cherish talents, it is no different from seeking your own death.
Otherwise, not only WILL TVB itself decline, but Hong Kong dramas will also collapse because they have lost their last strength.
It is very sad and sad to leave only some precious memories and not to create glory.
