Today's TVB can be described as "skinny camel bigger than horse", coupled with frequent cooperation with mainland video platforms, it can be said that "not bad money", why is it rare to see good dramas with good ratings? First, the emperors and queens left the nest one after another, resulting in a shortage of talents. In addition, senior executive producers and gold medal screenwriters either retire or leave, and the production level is indeed much worse than before.
Because of the large number of dramas, this year is a highly anticipated "Hong Kong opera year", who ever wanted to hope that the bigger the disappointment.
Including "Top Gun Master Sister 2021", "Guys Do Big Things", "Criminal Investigation Diary", one after another to the street.
Fortunately, "Ren Doctor Under the Stars" starring Zheng Jiaying, Ma Guoming and Zhong Jiaxin saved some face, although the ratings were average, at least the reputation was good, and the Douban score was as high as 9.1.
This year, there are a total of four Taiwan celebration dramas on The Great Radio, and "The Truth about Changing Lives" and "The Benevolent Doctor Under the Stars" have been broadcast for more than half of them.
At the end of the month, two other dramas will debut, one is a remake of the classic "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October", and the other is the finale drama "King of Fighters".
Looking at the genre alone, the boxing theme seems to be nothing new, as early as 2012, Wireless has produced a work of the same name, co-starring Zheng Jiaying, Huang Haoran, Li Shiwei, Tang Shiyong, Hu Dingxin and others.
And the boxing scene has appeared quite frequently in recent episodes, including Forensic Pioneer 4, Airport SWAT, and The Ultimate Confession after Eighteen Years, and I don't understand why the screenwriter is so enthusiastic.
However, the cast of this drama is not bad, the male number one is the "three-time emperor" Li Yaoxiang, and now he only has the head of the body, basically maintaining the rhythm of a play every year.
Male No. 2 is the "most popular TV male role" in the last Taiqing to advocate Zhenlang, male third is Zhu Minhan, who won the "Leap forward male artist" with "Anti-Black Road Man A", in addition to Tan Junyan will also make a cameo appearance.
The first female is Yao Ziling, a member of the "Nonsense Society", the second is Cai Jie, a "foreign aid" from Shao's, and the third female is Lai Weiling, a "big miss" with outstanding performance in "Anti-Black Road Man A".
As one of the Taiqing operas, and the last major drama of the year, "The King of Boxers" is naturally highly expected by the high-level.
Only from the current situation, the show's hope of competing for the annual crown is very slim.
First of all, although TVB's "Taiqing file" has attracted attention, it is not a golden period in the true sense, and the ratings are actually not high. Take "The Truth about Changing Lives" and "The Doctor Under the Stars", the latest ratings are only 19.2 points and 18.9 points, which are at the bottom level last year.
Therefore, the goal of "King of Fighters" should not be too high, and it can pass an average of twenty points.
Looking back at the ratings rankings since 2021, the top three cross-platforms are "The Strange Case", "Happy Express of Love Home" and "Extraordinary Three Heroes".
Among them, Chen Zhanpeng's "Case Against heaven" received 26.5 points, and "King of Fighters" is not generally difficult to surpass.
Although "King of Fighters" is hopeless to compete for the crown, Zhang Zhenlang still has a great possibility of impacting the top five of the emperor.
Judging from the trailer, he has more shots and scenes than Li Yaoxiang, and TVB has a great use of "three emperors" to lift the car.
He has gained something in two consecutive Taiwan celebrations, winning "Male Flying" and "Male Hi" respectively, and has become a hot and popular fried chicken. The last tricolor stage won the first "90 after-vision", and this session is expected to appear the first "85-year-old emperor top five".
Finally, I hope that "King of Fighters" can be like "Ren Doctor Under the Stars" with a good plot, fast pace and online acting skills, and present the audience with an original Hong Kong drama masterpiece.
