Hong Kong TV dramas, referred to as Hong Kong dramas, are mainly produced by two local television stations in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Corporation Limited and Asia Television. In the early years of Hong Kong drama, the audience was mainly hong Kong and Guangdong, and in the 1980s, its influence began to spread, and it had a profound impact on the lives of Chinese people around the world.
The management model of hong Kong's television industry began in the 1960s and 1970s and matured in the 1980s. The impact of the so-called corporatization is to pay attention to returns in production, that is, in recent years, the mainland has finally tightened the curse on the ratings of TV people. In the production, the specific performance is the choice of popular taste in the theme, while the actors implement the star system, so a large number of superstars in the film and television industry such as Zhao Yazhi, Michelle, Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhou Runfa, Andy Lau have emerged. Looking back at the classic works of the 1980s, such as TVB's "Shanghai Beach" and "Man in the Net" in 1980, "The Condor Heroes" (Andy Lau version) in 1983, "Deer DingJi" and "Brother Xinzha" in 1984; "Tianling" with a rating of 21 points on Asian Television, "Ten Brothers" at 18:00 and "Qin Shi Huang" at 20:00.
It is generally believed that the works of the late 1980s are slightly inferior to those of the previous ones, which may be due to the mature management system's excessive pursuit of ratings and restrictions on creation, but there are also many excellent works during the period, such as Wireless's "Duty Not to Be Merciful", "Oath not to bow down", and ATV's "Still Looking at this Dynasty". In general, in addition to costume dramas, the works at that time were mostly based on the theme of rich grudges, gangster fights or police and bandit fights, with tight rhythms, plot ups and downs, and the changing fate and personality of the characters, which often revealed some profound philosophies of life and attracted a large number of audiences. At the same time, the 1980s were the golden age of the entire Hong Kong television industry, and the record for the highest ratings ever written was written at that time, and the 62-point rating of "Eagle Man" was watched by about 3 million viewers.
Xiaobian and all the post-80s who have experienced black and white television sets, the earliest audio-visual enlightenment is the Hong Kong drama that was constantly replayed at that time, starting from today, Xiaobian is classified by age and drama type, and everyone looks back on the memories that brought us joy and passion when we were young.
