In the 1980s and 1990s, TVB and ATV, the two major television stations in Hong Kong, have always been competitors, among which TVB has mandatory regulations that its artists cannot appear on ATV, and it does not allow ATV artists to appear on TVB. Even for many artists who have developed from ATV to TVB, TVB will be treated differently. Today, ATV has existed in name only, will not pose a threat to TVB, and TVB itself is also limited by development, talent loss, so more and more ATV artists have successfully taken the position after the development of TVB, TVB allows artists who used to be in the ATV service to participate in the recording of their own programs. A few days ago, at the invitation of Xue Jiayan, a number of former ATV artists appeared on TVB's "50 Years of Popular Classics" program scene, and Chen Qitai, a former 56-year-old former ATV brother, is one of the most concerned, this is his first step into TVB Tseung Kwan O TV City, what is important is that unlike the previous resistance to starring in TVB dramas, this time he said that he was willing to return to TVB to shoot dramas under conditions.
The reason why Chen Qitai will use the return to TVB filming to describe the relationship between Chen Qitai and TVB is because Chen Qitai was actually an artist from TVB at the earliest, but Chen Qitai's development in ATV is obviously better than the development in TVB, and he has become a brother of ATV, and over time many people have identified him as an artist of ATV, forgetting that he has a history of development in TVB.
Chen Qitai has joined TVB Development in 1990, and was first mainly a host, and he has been featured in TVB's classic programs such as "Hong Kong Morning" and "Happy Tonight". In addition to hosting, in the later stages of TVB, Chen Qitai also had the opportunity to participate in TVB's drama performances, Yin Zhiping, played in "Eagle Hero", can be called his masterpiece, and Che Dafu, who played in "Big Trouble Guangchanglong", is also a masterpiece. However, Chen Qitai's development in TVB was particularly short-lived, he thought that he was not reused, there was no development prospect, and after about the expiration of 1998, he left the nest and went to ATV, thus opening a brilliant career development.
ATV's platform is not as good as TVB's, especially after the millennium, but Chen Qitai also seized the opportunity to appear in the ATV signature zombie series, and all three works were performed as the male number two. And what really made Chen Qitai famous was the game show "Millionaire", by hosting this program, Chen Qitai became a brother of ATV and a gold medal emcee. At that time, "Millionaire" became the signature program of ATV, and once used it to fight against TVB's ratings, and then Chen Qitai wanted to get the wind and rain at ATV. Unfortunately, the development of ATV could not be sustained, and after that, the cooperation between Chen Qitai and ATV was intermittent, and Chen Qitai also fell silent in these years.
Chen Qitai left the ups and downs of the development of ATV, occasionally as a host for ATV to host the program, in 2018 also participated in ViuTV episode shooting, but because ATV is good, ViuTV is good, the platform influence is limited, Chen Qitai's name is rarely mentioned again, until recently Chen Qitai suddenly appeared in TVB Tseung Kwan O TV City for the "50 Years of Popular Classics" video, this kind of topical exposure, so that Chen Qitai rarely become the focus.
Chen Qitai's appearance in TVB to participate in the recording can set off a topic, one of which is that he is a former ATV brother, and now there is no contractual relationship with TVB, and the ATV brother appeared in TVB TV City, which is itself the topic; in addition, this is also the first time Chen Qitai returned after leaving TVB in 1998, and it was the first time he appeared in TVB TV City - when he left TVB, TV City had not yet been opened, which was both fresh and exciting for him, when he was interviewed, he also laughed that TV City was too big. Driving in also requires navigation to find.
This is Chen Qitai after 22 years to return to TVB, his mood is still conceivable, after all, tvB from the artist, although this return can not be called a return to the nest, but there is still a kind of excitement, Chen Qitai said that the happiest is to see a group of old colleagues of ATV, such as Lin Weichen, Cai Guowei, but also met the TVB behind-the-scenes staff who worked with him 22 years ago, he can't help but sigh in the blink of an eye 22 years have passed, which suddenly makes him nostalgic for the days when he used to work at TVB. He has been debuting for 30 years.
Chen Qitai sighed so much, and could not help but wonder whether he planned to return to TVB work. In fact, after Chen Qitai left ATV that year, TVB had repeatedly beckoned to him, hoping to cooperate, but Chen Qitai repeatedly pushed back, and his external explanation was that he did not want to be bound by the contract since he restored his freedom, so he had to repeatedly refuse. And this time he himself came to TVB TV City, and faced with the same problem, his tone of voice has obviously changed, and he is no longer so tough. He said bluntly that if he could maintain his status as a free man or sign a ministerial contract, he was willing to return to the nest to shoot a drama. In fact, many artists who cooperate with TVB today are cooperating in the form of a ministry contract, or signing a contract with Shaw and then cooperating with TVB, so Chen Qitai's request is also within a reasonable range acceptable to TVB, so it is not a problem for both sides to cooperate again.
Chen Qitai returned to TVB after 22 years, as a special guest to participate in the video of "50 Years of Popular Classics", in the program he will sing the theme song of the ATV classic drama "If there is really a date", he is also very emotional about this, because this song is his classic work, the important thing is to be able to sing on TVB, it is of great significance. I always feel that Chen Qitai's return to TVB this time may really be not as simple as being a guest, it is likely to open a new cooperation between them, and I look forward to seeing Chen Qitai's performance on TVB again.
