Viutv recently launched a new drama "Taiping Tattoo Shop", which opened a new round of ratings war with TVB.
"Taiping Tattoo Shop" has fantasy elements, but revenge and romance are the themes of the play.
"Taiping Tattoo Shop" has a total of 15 episodes and is a veritable short drama. The whole drama revolves around nana, a mysterious female tattooist who opens a shop on Taiping Street in modern Hong Kong, and has a heavy jianghu atmosphere.
In recent years, the ratings dispute between viutv and TVB has become more and more fierce, and the two stations have come and gone, constantly launching entertainment programs and film and television works that cater to the audience, and the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger.
Speaking of viutv, this TV station, many netizens may not be very familiar with it, but when it comes to its owner, it is not a small old man.
Viutv's boss is Li Ka-shing's son, Li Zekai, for whom Liang Lobsch bore birth to three children.
So the owner of viutv, not bad money at all.
Although the popularity is not as good as TVB, the coffee position is not as good as TVB, but it has a kind of up-and-coming posture.
In order to grab the ratings, Viutv launched the idol talent show "All the People Make Stars" and played the banner of "the largest idol project in the history of Hong Kong television".
The draft, known as the Hong Kong version of 101, was so powerful that hundreds of contestants came to participate.
Unlike Korean variety shows, which have filters so thick that they can't be seen, and mainland variety shows that are often doped with unspoken rules, it is real enough.
There are no filters, no sound fixes for you, and of course, there will be no malicious editing to create a topic in the later stage.
Therefore, this variety show is called "the most real player and the ugliest in history".
Whether this variety show later created a superstar is not known, but it has earned enough attention from the audience and is known as the hottest variety show in Hong Kong.
Not only that, this show has also launched the second and third seasons, which shows that the ratings are not low, and it is profitable.
Otherwise, even if the Li family has money, it will not burn for several seasons in a row.
At this time, TVB is not willing to be lonely, in order to grab the recycling of television, launched a talent show that recruited aviation industry practitioners to devote themselves to the performing arts industry, "Rushing to the Clouds", to meet the battle.
This time, regardless of word of mouth or ratings, the veteran entertainment film and television industry bigwig TVB is better.
But viutv certainly won't concede.
At the beginning of 2021, viutv's "Taiping Tattoo Shop" gathered many actors such as Huang Debin, Zhou Xiuna, Lin Dexin, Bai Tiannan, Chen Fengjiang, Wu Qili and so on.
But I have to admit that Viutv is in front of tvb, the former big man, even if it is no longer the glory of the past, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. So, in order to have enough chips to compete with TVB, Viutv spent a lot of money digging TVB actors.
Huang Debin in the drama "Taiping Tattoo Shop" used to be a TVB artist. After Huang Debin left wireless in 2017, his works increased greatly, and he continued to make scenes, and also took over the filming of "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", which is now being released.
A reporter asked him if he was afraid of offending TVB, and Huang Debin said: "After leaving, TVB has looked for me and asked me about the schedule, but it has not been negotiated." ”
Huang Debin mainly played the retired jianghu gangster in "Taiping Tattoo Shop", looking at the beard from the shape, and the whole person's jianghu atmosphere is still quite heavy.
Huang Debin is full of confidence in the play, he said: "The theme of this drama is a new drama, full of old Hong Kong feelings, and I am full of confidence in ratings and word of mouth. ”
In addition, there is a veteran actor in this drama that everyone is familiar with, that is, the mother of the little dragon girl, the 47-year-old Asian sister champion Wu Qili.
Wu Qili plays a pair of twins in the play, one of whom has to play two roles, which is quite challenging.
Not only that, as a sister-in-law, Wu Qili also staged a large bed drama with her brother-in-law.
Only to see Wu Qili's eyes closed, the whole person looked very engaged and intoxicated.
It was this scene that plunged her into controversy.
Netizens have commented: "I don't know what The little dragon girl will think when she sees it", "In order to make money", "This is too strange, she can be the age of a grandmother"...
But no matter what, acting is just Wu Qili's job, and what role to play in the play and what plot to play, sometimes it is not something she can decide.
Over the years, every word and deed of Wu Qili and Xiaolongnü has attracted attention from the outside world. When promoting "Taiping Tattoo Shop", a reporter once asked her about Xiaolongnü, and Wu Qili immediately stopped the topic: "Today I still talk about work first." ”
I don't know when, Wu Qili has been reluctant to talk about her daughter in public, and the mother and daughter have gradually drifted apart over the years, which makes people sigh.
At present, "Taiping Tattoo Shop" has been launched, but as for the ratings and word of mouth, it can only be handed over to the market.
