TVB has only been established for six short years and can be considered a very young TV station. It was founded by Li Xiaohe, the third son of the previous head of the Li family, and Sir Run Run Shaw. Li Xiaohe is currently the chairman and general manager of TVB.
Job. Speaking of Toshitakawa, it's really not simple. It's not about how powerful his family is, but that he has created a lot of fame on his own.
Li Xiaohe, a native of Xinhui, Guangdong (now Xinhui, Jiangmen, Guangdong), went to the UK to study at the age of 12. He graduated from Oxford University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Civil Law. He has been a practicing barrister since 1932. In 1943, he became the General Secretary of the People's Republic of China.
Quasi-President of the Foundation. In 1946, he served as an advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, the Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, and the Special Assistant to the Chief Representative of China on the United Nations Security Council. He attended the Paris Peace Conference as a member of the Chinese delegation. After World War II, he returned to Hong Kong to take charge of the family
Business, investing in various aspects, serving as chairman of United Soda Water Factory Co., Ltd. and Metropolis Co., Ltd., and also serving as a director of Hong Kong British American Tobacco Co., Ltd., Cathay Pacific Airways and Shanghai Commercial Bank.
His purpose in establishing TVB was simple. Of course, in addition to the basic principle of making money, he wanted to bring Hong Kong's electronic media into a new era, no longer limited to radio waves or black and white broadcast systems. TVB has also become
Hong Kong's first wireless TV station broadcast in color system, attracting the attention of 4 million Hong Kong citizens at that time, becoming the true founder of Hong Kong's wireless TV.
In the early days of TVB's establishment, it did not even have its own company headquarters. It only had a video studio and office space at the Kin Shing Studio in Diamond Hill. It was not until two years after the launch that the headquarters was established at 77 Tiu Keng Leng Broadcasting Road near the city center.
No. 1, together with Radio Television Hong Kong, Commercial Radio, Lai's TV and Jiayi TV, this place was also named "Wutai Mountain". At that time, TVB had only about 200 employees.
He drove Feng Yifeng and Nannan to the TV station. After Feng Yifeng confessed why he couldn't be an actor, Wang Tianlin was very disappointed. He actually went to Jiancheng Cinema today to visit old friends. After seeing Feng Yifeng, he felt that he was in love with Ke Ke.
Only when he is a talented person can he be persuaded again and again. Otherwise, given his status, there are many people who want to make TV or movies based on his connections, and they would not be so humble and accompany a boy.
Wang Tianlin has just signed a contract with TVB and has not officially started any work in TVB. Apart from familiarizing himself with TV production, the work assigned to him by TVB does not have any other tasks. In fact, he is still
There is a movie being shot, and all the work at hand must be completed before he can start a new job at TVB.
"You haven't been to a TV station yet, have you? Follow me closely when I'm inside, don't walk around, and don't make any noise when you see me taking pictures, otherwise it will affect the filming. Nowadays, many people
TV programs have begun to use live sound recording, so keep quiet in the studio." Wang Tianlin repeatedly told Feng Yifeng that he was really afraid that this seemingly quiet boy would see something new and something would happen.
Feng Yifeng glanced at Nannan who was full of excitement. He was just afraid that Nannan's little confused personality would cause some trouble. "Uncle Tianlin, don't worry. I'll just watch and talk about it then. I'm just curious about the TV."
How the program is produced and how it is broadcast on TV after production."
"Haha, this is actually very simple. The principle is similar to that of listening to the radio. TV programs are all pre-recorded. When the broadcast time comes, the signals are used to send audio and video signals. As long as citizens install receiving antennas in their homes, they can get it for free.
Watch TV programs. As for some live programs, signal transceivers will be erected at the live broadcast site. In this way, although the signal will not be very good due to the influence of the environment, it will appear on the TVs of citizens watching the programs.
There are snowflakes and horizontal stripes, but with the current technology, they are pretty good." Wang Tianlin was not a technician, so he could only explain it to Feng Yifeng in simple terms.
"Oh! That's it. I also heard that TVB has an artist training class. Do all those who want to be actors need to join this training class to study?" Feng Yifeng is really concerned about the structure of TVB.
He was very interested and kept asking questions that interested him.
Although Wang Tianlin joined TVB not long ago and his position has not been confirmed, it does not prevent him from understanding many details of TVB. He is not stingy about Feng Yifeng's problems and tries his best to explain them clearly, hoping that Feng Yifeng can change his mind. It seems that
He has not completely given up on persuading Feng Yifeng to become an actor.
"TVB co-organized the first artist training course with Shaw Brothers Pictures the year before last and trained artists on its own. Because the television industry has only just emerged in Hong Kong, although Li's side is doing well, many actors
They were all converted from movies and were not suitable for the production process of TV programs. Upon seeing this, TVB discussed with Sir Shaw and decided to use Shaw's resources and cooperate with TVB to establish an artist training class.
In this way, we can achieve self-sufficiency and do not need to rely on external actor resources."
"Of course, there are also many film actors who have turned to television performances, such as Uncle Bo (Liang Xingbo) and Uncle Mian (Zheng Junmian). There are also some promising people who will be discovered to act and learn while acting. If
You can do this if you want to act. Another thing is that actors who have been trained in art training classes have a basic understanding of television production, and there will be no confusion between film and television production. After all, there are still many differences between television and film."
"Oh! That's it. No wonder so many people I don't know appeared when I was watching TV, and many of their acting skills are very good." Nannan seemed to finally know the solution to a difficult exercise, and she was very happy.
Very happy.
Feng Yifeng just smiled. He still knew a little about art training classes. Many big stars who would become popular in Asia in the future were born in TVB's art training classes. "So how do TV actors get paid? It's the same as movie actors.
, are you given the same amount of money as a TV set based on the price of each movie?”
"Haha, of course it's impossible to compare this with movies. TV actors' remuneration is calculated differently. TVB's artists are all hired on a 'show contract', that is, based on the number of program hours (commonly known as 'show')
, the salary is calculated based on half an hour ("show"), and TVB will not plan jobs for artists outside of the TV station. Those artists who are somewhat famous, if they want to shoot commercials or go to cut ribbons, they have to contact them on their own.
They don't want those movie stars to have full-time managers and nannies." Wang Tianlin also had to lament for TV artists, but what can he change?
Only now did Feng Yifeng know that the original contract of TVB was like this, which was very different from future contracts. It was not until the late 1980s that TVB launched the "paid artist" (that is, TVB appointed the manager to coordinate the artists)
All jobs, in addition to program remuneration, are provided with a fixed monthly salary). Later, TVB reformed the artist system. Artists contracted by managers no longer just focused on filming their own dramas, but also actively strived for other performance opportunities, in addition to TVB's requirements
The managers compete with each other, causing the artist development department's business to hit new highs, and artists' incomes also rising significantly.
TVB's headquarters in Broadcasting Channel is really not big, and the entrance is not as majestic as the Tseung Kwan O TV City in the future. Except for the huge three-color Taiwan emblem above the entrance, which is a bit imposing, it really can't be seen that TVB is now in ten
Within the next year, it will dominate the entire television media in Hong Kong.
The entire headquarters is composed of only two connected buildings. One side is the office building used for office work, and the other side is composed of several large and small studios, news production department, and variety show production department. Each studio
The scenery of different environments has been built, including ancient costumes, fashion and the early Republic of China.
As for other TV drama studios, directors and producers will make modifications according to different shooting scripts, and prop masters will also build different props and put them in according to different era backgrounds. In fact, they are not too far from the real scenes.
There are no computer special effects now, so for digital technology, it is pretty good. There are many fixed factories for variety shows to provide filming or live broadcasting, and they will be modified according to different programs. What makes Feng Yifeng most suspicious of this is
It's the recording studio of "Happy Tonight". It's only the afternoon and there are already many artists rehearsing.
Feng Yifeng and Nannan were very curious, where to stand and watch the artists rehearse. Only now did they finally understand that the wonderful programs they watch on TV every day did not appear overnight. They all went through the hard work of the artists.
Only by rehearsing and performing hard, using their most professional acting skills, can they present the most exciting show in front of the audience.
Just looking at Feng Yifeng is a bit funny, because whether they are staff or artists, their clothes and styles are surprisingly similar. The men have uniform long hair and wide flared jeans, while the women have big curly hair and broken hair.
A white shirt and jeans may seem a bit old-fashioned to Feng Yifeng, but this was the most popular outfit in Hong Kong in the 1970s.
Hong Kong has always followed fashion and fashion. The Beatles are world-famous superstar singers and have a great influence on the current fashion trends in Hong Kong. Artists will meet the audience in front of the curtain.
Yes, if you don't keep up with the trend, you will easily be called "old-fashioned". Even Eric Tsang, a short and fat man, keeps his hair long and wears wide-leg jeans to keep up with the trend.
Feng Yifeng and Nannan were standing there watching, but they looked really good, like a pair of golden boys and girls. Many staff and artists who came in and out would take a few glances at them when they passed by.
.If they hadn’t seen that Wang Tianlin had brought them in, they would probably have gathered around them. As for Wang Tianlin, after bringing them in, he said he had something to do and walked away, leaving the two of them here to wait for him to come back. Really
He is an irresponsible uncle. How could he let two little guys stay in an unfamiliar place?
