Terminally ill TVB, Hua Tuo could not be saved in his life.
More than 600 celebrities are unemployed, queuing up to receive relief money from Gu Tianle, and some people have entered factories to work to supplement their families... How did TVB, which once supported half of the film and television circle, fall to this point?

At the recent TVB annual meeting, the celebrities were dressed in bright clothes, wore transparent masks, and wore exquisite makeup, working hard to maintain the dignity of high society. But Wang Mingquan's words knocked everyone back to their original form.
Wang Mingquan said: "Can TVB give us a little extra salary?" "Yes, TVB has been cutting salaries for a while.
Affected by the epidemic, TVB's income is dismal, and it is difficult to bear the salaries of a number of stars. According to the local well-known entertainment reporter, more than 600 people in a port have been unemployed, and the basic salary of the group of people who still have jobs is pitifully small, and the big coffee like She Shiman went out to cut the ribbon for the company with only 20,000 yuan of remuneration.
In order to maintain the lives of the actors, Gu Tianle, president of the Performing Arts Association, has issued a relief payment of 8,000 yuan per person, but the salary is small.
What if I can't survive?
Someone left: Wen Yuhong, a gold medal who had worked at TVB for 32 years, terminated her contract with TVB because TVB not only asked for a salary cut, but also a bunch of ancillary conditions. Some people also insisted: Mo Jiagan and Chen Guofeng, two TVB male actors, went to the factory to work as transport workers, earning a daily salary of 800 yuan to maintain their lives, but still did not break up with the old owner.

Who would have thought that TVB, which once dominated the entertainment industry, would now live such a bleak life.
Who didn't have a TVB drama in their childhood? Who didn't have a TVB goddess in their childhood?
The mercurial Zhou Runfa in "Shanghai Beach", and how Huang Xiaoming imitated later did not have that charm;
Zheng Shaoqiu, who is elegant and handsome in "The Great Time", even if he has failed Shen Dianxia, no one denies his excellence;
Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong, who are at the peak of their appearance in "Divine Eagle Heroes", let people see what is called seeing Yang's mistaken life;
The mischievous and cute Zhang Weijian in "Journey to the West" subverts the inherent image of Sun Wukong in the hearts of the audience.
There are also "Miao Cuihua", "Drunken Golden Branch", "Tianlong Babu", "Top Gun Master Sister", "New Za Master Sister", "Searching for Qin", "List of Fengshen Gods"... Whether it is costume drama, modern drama, martial arts drama, crossing drama, mythological drama, period drama, business war drama, police drama, legal drama, TVB has everything, and each genre has a boutique.
At that time, Hunan Satellite TV always introduced TVB dramas, often can get quite good ratings, in a certain Hong Kong local, TVB also occupied the top of the ratings list for many years.

But gradually, TVB was caught up, surpassed, and far behind by the mainland.
The reason is that, first, TVB has insufficient funds and is difficult to resist the strong mainland capital. The old audience of Hong Kong dramas knows that TVB often uses a set of props repeatedly, the dragon robe phoenix crown that appears in "Drunken Golden Branch", the still used in "Golden Branch Desire", heavy plot, light service, and rough small props in the venue, resulting in TVB dramas more and more unable to meet the aesthetic needs of the audience.
The lack of funds, in addition to the production of sophisticated and grand film and television dramas, can not allow actors to achieve financial freedom, so the departure of powerful actors is expected. She Siman can only charge 20,000 for cutting the ribbon at TVB, and is paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for an episode of TV drama in the mainland, and the advertising endorsement fee is calculated separately, if you are a TVB actor, where do you choose to act?
With the decline of a certain port and the rise and prosperity of the mainland economy, the audience no longer has a "certain port filter", and the mainland's self-made drama has become the primary choice of the audience. First the loss of actors, then the loss of audiences, and finally the loss of the market, the decline of TVB is both its own inadequacy and the reason of the times. In any case, I still miss the TVB grand event of that year.
