As we all know, TVB, which once dominated the entertainment industry, has long since declined.
Even their own executives have admitted this, repeatedly emphasizing that Taiwan has a huge problem. Hong Kong media recently counted the artists who will leave TVB in 2022, and there are as many as 25, including Zheng Yuling who has been with TVB for 44 years.
After learning about the reasons why these artists chose to terminate their contracts, it is not difficult to find that although they talk about returning to their families and focusing on their lives, most of them have been in TVB for many years and still have no chance to get ahead. Even if they have won awards and played classic roles, they may fall into the embarrassing situation of having nothing to film in minutes. As you get older, you have to consider the future, and changing careers becomes the only option.
For example, Huang Jiale, who has been working at TVB for 21 years, has filmed more than 40 dramas over the years, either as a supporting role or as an extra. He finally played the leading role after he was over 40 years old. There has been no news of the drama being broadcast for a whole year after filming. Will you jump into this role?
also appeared in the movie "htm" with baby, Wang Zulam Chen Jiajia of "L1 Short Boy Passionate " has been with TVB for more than ten years and has won the Best Supporting Actress Award. However, her daily acting income is not enough to live on. It was publicly revealed that TVB's salary standard for minor supporting actors is only 800 Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 900 yuan. It is still similar to project wages. It takes three to five days to complete a project.
The salary calculation model still used by TVB is also very harsh. Just 900 yuan is not so easy to earn. First of all, you must ensure that you can have more than half an hour of playing time. After 30 minutes of wasted work, the salary calculation will begin.
In addition, not everyone can have a project to work on every day. Many people may only have one project a month, which means that the monthly salary of some TVB artists may only be 900 yuan.
It’s no wonder that their artists often quit the entertainment industry to work in companies. The income as an actor is unstable, and the amount is not as good as an ordinary career. Some people simply go to "take the exam" - Huang Yingjun, a 34-year-old Hong Kong girl who left TVB in 2021, worked in filming in order to save money to buy a house. She is also very aware of the crisis, and did not give up her studies just to enter the industry, and got a master's degree all the way.
In the end, Huang Yingjun became a civil servant by virtue of her academic qualifications. Her monthly income was 50,000 yuan, and her income was finally stable.
In fact, Chen Jiajia is also very crisis-conscious. She planned to change careers as early as 2019. She opened a short video account and became an Internet celebrity. From selling goods to only a few hundred people watching, she achieved sales of 5 million. After
made great achievements, Chen Jiajia also successfully settled in the mainland step by step, and her video style has been constantly adjusted. At this stage, the number of fans has exceeded one million, and she will definitely be able to save money. It is natural for her to leave TVB.
What is unexpected is that even these low-level employees realized that TVB has not developed and have been looking for their own way out. However, their senior management did not think of making adjustments until the past two or three years. Looking at the current situation of TVB pointed out by the senior management, it is also very speechless.
executives directly admitted in the interview that TVB has only cared about saving money and focusing on cost control for a long time, which has led to its current serious backwardness and lack of support.
Senior executives also commented that certain behaviors within TVB sounded like a joke. For example, they billed artists by handwriting on mimeograph paper, and then assigned them to various departments for registration. People can't help but wonder what era it is now.
TVB’s office has not been renovated in more than 20 years. There are only two digital microphones in such a large TV station. What is the concept? Just compare it to mainland TV stations.
According to senior management’s understanding, a major station in the Mainland has dozens or hundreds of digital microphones.
Including the Taiwan Celebration Awards Ceremony, which has been criticized for a long time, the senior management also knows it very well and knows that the final effect will be like a company's annual meeting. Frankly speaking, this state of affairs is unhealthy.
At this time, I can’t help but feel that TVB has a strong foundation and has not yet closed down...
Finally, let’s break down some good news. In order to change the status quo, TVB has planned to cooperate with mainland satellite TVs such as Hunan TV, Oriental TV, and Zhejiang TV, and its relationship with video platforms will become closer.
TVB is even planning to build a production center in Guangzhou. I don’t know if it is because more and more Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are settling in Guangdong. In short, I wish TVB can catch up with the development of the times and produce more good dramas!
