tvb awards ceremony, "News Queen" really won the competition.
Charmaine Sheh even became the top three TV queen this year with this drama, her momentum is unmatched.
This drama has also made the once sluggish Hong Kong drama market lively again.
Next up in 2024, there will not only be "Heroes 4" by Lai Yaoxiang and Myolie Wu.
It is said that the spiritual sequel of "Criminal Investigation Files", "Criminal Investigation 12", will also appear on the screen. Lin Baoyi appears on the starring list. TVB's vote is quite big.
html There are legends and police and criminal investigations in the 0's, but there is still a lack of a genre that is suitable for all ages, industry dramas.To say that the most popular type of drama in Hong Kong dramas in recent years, or in other words, the final trump card of Hong Kong dramas, must be industry dramas.
Not to mention "News Queen", "The White Strong Man" and "The Kind Doctor Under the Stars" are also industry dramas.
Why is it that Hong Kong dramas are declining day by day, with even the once signature martial arts dramas and police and gangster dramas gradually disappearing, while only industry dramas are still unique among Chinese dramas?
Because they can always capture the core of industry drama creation - professionalism.
shoots medical treatment, ranging from washing hands before surgery to real treatment scenes and professional surgical instructions. It was not until the past two years that domestic entertainment caught up.
filmed aviation, and the 2002 film "Up to the Sky" has not been surpassed by any Chinese drama so far.
However, precisely because of its professionalism and not excessive filming, TVB has not filmed a series related to the aviation industry for ten years since "Up to the Sky 2" which premiered in 2013.
Until tonight - another TVB industry drama that goes deep into the Hong Kong International Airport for on-site filming is about to debut.
"Feichang Log".
has a total of 10 episodes. It is our domestic entertainment "industry (love) drama". The love between the male and female protagonists is not even halfway through.
Of course, professionalism and authenticity are not only its only advantages, the series also has a trump card: the lineup of double kings + double queens.
Ma Guoming, who performed brilliantly in "News Queen", and Gao Haining, who just won the Best Supporting Actress, switched from "journalism" to "aviation industry".
In addition to this year's new TV star Chen Hao, former TV queen Cai Sibei, there are also powerful actors such as Hong Yongcheng and Xu Rong supporting the show.
The powerful combination of powerful actors makes even the eyes full of drama.
But what attracts me the most is the type of drama: aviation real-life professional drama.
Everyone knows the "success factors" of "News Queen", which is the two-pronged approach to the successful experience of TVB workplace dramas and cool dramas. But because of the excessive pursuit of excitement, the series finale still somewhat lost the foundation of TVB industry dramas.
This time, can TVB’s signature industry drama soar into the sky again?
1. Story: A professional and realistic drama rooted in the reality of Hong Kong International Airport, comprehensively showing the core of the aviation industry
As we all know, domestic entertainment industry dramas are mostly based on the industry, and the industry has become a fertile ground for love stories between urban men and women.
TVB industry drama classics often make audiences watch and fall in love with them.
The story of "Flying Diary" revolves around the daily events inside and outside the airport restricted area. It uses dramatic techniques to show how employees from different departments of the airport work closely together. It tells the story of Hong Kong International Airport.
The airport moved to Chek Lap Kok in 1998. Passenger volume has tripled in the past 25 years. Yang Shangwei (played by Ma Guoming) was promoted from a junior employee to the duty manager of the central control center, responsible for overseeing the operation of the entire airport.
Shang Wei also has a group of good partners, including his assistant Fang Keer (played by Guo Baiyan), Lu Zhishan (played by Gao Haining) who is in charge of airport passenger service, Chen Jie (played by Hong Yongcheng) who is in charge of airport security, and who is in charge of tarmac service Li Shengxiang (played by Xu Rong), they work together to help deal with various things that happen at the airport...
Shang Wei often interacts with his ex-wife Zhang Ruoling (played by Cai Sibei), who is the airport manager of Harbor Air.
In fact, the two still wanted to know each other after their divorce. Looking at each other, the appearance of captain Guo Qiguang (played by Zhu Minhan) and flight attendant Gao Yawen (played by Liu Yingyuan) caused the relationship between the two to become turbulent again...
Judging from the trailer, there are at least three major stories in "Flying Diary" Highlights:
First, the airport industry is daily.
Really excellent industry dramas can often understand the reality of the industry and use workplace details to take the audience into an industry.
is different from the "Up to the Sky" series. "Flying Diary" mainly tells the daily work of a group of airport employees in different positions and how to deal with major events. It is more professional than "Up to the Sky".
To put it more directly, how does an airport operate?
For example, how does the central control center shown in the trailer monitor the airspace?
If a missing child or elderly person with dementia appears at the airport, how will the airport staff handle it?
The series narrates the daily work of the unsung heroes of the airport, allowing the audience to better understand how the airport maintains smooth operation. This is the effect that "Flight Diary" most wants to present.
These are the background materials for the romance between male and female protagonists in domestic entertainment industry dramas, but they are the main course of the dramas.
This in itself is truly teaching mainland dramas how to behave.
The second is, handling large-scale aviation crises. In the
trailer, major airport events such as typhoon response and large-scale crisis drills have appeared.
For example, a typhoon strikes and a large aircraft encounters thunder and lightning.
How to avoid danger on airplanes and how to cooperate on the ground?
one link after another, step after step.
Fighting an aircraft is like putting out a fire, and flying is like a contact. A slight mistake can cost a life on the plane.
For another example, ground staff discovered suspicious items.
The duty manager of the central control center played by Ma Guoming immediately shouted: Start crisis response.
Basically, there will be a crisis response every two episodes in the 12 episodes, and it is thrilling to watch every time.
This is what a workplace drama should be like. It doesn’t play bad romance Mary Sue dramas, and it doesn’t follow the routine of exaggerated idol dramas.
Professionalism is the most basic respect.
The third one is the real airport texture.
Most of the industry dramas we have seen with the airport as the background are rarely shot in the airport. First, the shooting cost is limited.
Secondly, it is not necessary, because the main line of the story is originally a love story between the male and female protagonists, and filming the emotional line well is the best guarantee for ratings.
However, this time TVB cooperated with the Hong Kong Airport Authority to conduct in-depth on-site shooting at the Hong Kong International Airport for the first time.
includes shooting work in many important airport locations such as the central control center and complex buildings.
Even Ma Guoming, who played the role of a pilot in two movies of "Up to the Sky", said that the filming of the new drama was able to go deep into the airport, which was an eye-opener for him. In the
trailer, you can already see the industry quality brought by real-life shooting.
This kind of craftsmanship can produce works with precise details and rich industry taste in the workplace industry.
2. Actors: Ma Guoming leads the cast, with Chen Hao and Gao Haining as supporting actors. A gathering of talented actors
If you want to revitalize an industry drama, the performance of the actors is also crucial.
One of the great advantages of Hong Kong dramas is that the actors can often act like industry professionals.
So, how about the strength of the cast of "Fei Chang Di"?
No. 1, Ma Guoming
is a veteran pilot of Hong Kong dramas.
Many people know Ma Guoming because he participated in the TVB major drama "Up to the Sky" in 2002.
But he really made his mark in TVB after the hit "on
call 36 hours" starring him and Yang Yi in 2012. In addition, TVB's young actors left the nest one after another, including Bosco Bosco and Ng Zhuoxi who worked together on "Up to the Sky"
, Chen Jianfeng left the nest one after another, Ma Guoming's acting skills have become increasingly mature, and he won the Most Popular TV Male Character Award for three consecutive years in 2016, 2017, and 2018, regardless of who he used.
In the past three years, Ma Guoming has been getting better and better. He has appeared in almost all TVB dramas. In "News Queen", he and Charmaine Sheh fought from beginning to end.
This time he no longer plays the pilot, but the duty manager of the central control center, the brain of the airport.
Ma Guoming's acting skills have always been controversial. In fact, Ma Guoming is not without acting skills. For example, Ma Ji in the fantasy drama "The Devil" has a carefree appearance but a delicate heart. He has a good grasp of the performance.
Compared with the careerist in "News Queen", Ma Guoming is obviously more suitable for this kind of role with rich emotions and pure personality.
has experience in flying dramas, I believe he will not disappoint this time.
Second, Gao Haining
The new Best Supporting Actress Gao Haining is the kind of actress who gets what she wants, but cannot be reused by TVB.
In "Only Thirty", she played the role of Neptune's girlfriend. The conditions were so good that the audience didn't understand why Neptune wanted the role of Jiang Shuying. In the "News Queen" that
won an award for, she is the very popular atypical strong woman Xu Shiqing in the drama, with a vase body and a career mind.
Especially in the first half of the plot, zipping up and giving away wholesale "battle suits" are all to accumulate news resources and serve as a springboard for herself to become a prime time female anchor;
has a sweet face and plays the role of a villain in the workplace. It's not inconsistent at all, which shows her good acting skills.
No wonder Charmaine Sheh wiped tears in the audience after winning the award.
She has been taking on supporting female roles in scripts for the past few years, and this time she finally got a role as the second female lead.
Judging from the trailer, the character is quite important. She is a clear-cut, straightforward female character who also has the warmth of the workplace. Let’s wait and see if
can make a small splash this time.
The third place, Chen Hao
Seeing Chen Hao, Hong Kong drama fans should think of last year's "Poison", which was fooled by his good acting skills and was dragged into the plot.
He also won this year's TVB TVB Award with this role.
Chen Hao has a background in action movies, and his acting skills were very good in Tsui Hark's "Knife".
joined TVB in 2000 and quickly became the "Teacher's Killer". In 2002, he won the Most Improved Male Artist Award for his role in the seemingly frivolous but actually dedicated Mr. Xiao in "The Greatest Dad". Soaring into the sky.
In recent years, like Ma Guoming, he has been TVB's most dependent middle school student. Although his appearance has wrinkles, Chen Hao is the kind of actor whose acting skills get better as he gets older.
In this drama, he guest-starred as the Chairman of the Airport Authority, and his aura was completely up to par.
The fourth place, Hong Yongcheng
The supporting role is also a familiar face that everyone knows, such as Hong Yongcheng who "scared" the audience in "The House Cleaner".
Hong Yongcheng mainly serves as a host in Wireless.
But it is also a prime supporting role in Hong Kong dramas. "Haunted House Cleaner" is a rare authentic Chinese thriller drama in recent years that has the legacy of Hong Kong thrillers.
There is no flamboyance, the ghosts and ghosts in it are all real, and Hung Yong-cheng's performance is also well received. A sequel is also planned.
In this drama, Hong Yongcheng also plays the role of the airport's most hands-on security director, who can subjugate demons. I believe that this time he can accurately convey the characteristics of the character and let the audience get into the character every minute.
3. TVB industry drama: Regardless of whether it can reach the sky, I believe that wireless industry dramas
industry dramas involve a lot of professionalism. If you want to make an industry drama well, the requirements for the creative team are also very high.
The producer of this drama, Chen Yaoquan, is a popular TVB producer in recent years and has produced such masterpieces as "Iron Horse Chariot" and "His Royal Highness".
Judging from the trailer, the quality of the drama is quite good. Some of the airport scenes and atmosphere look very real, and you can immediately be substituted into that real environment.
But the biggest source of confidence for the series should still be the tradition of wireless workplace dramas.
Professionalism and professionalism take precedence over love plots. This is a major feature of TVB's workplace dramas. TVB has real-life underground skills in the workplace.
's ace producer of industry dramas, Deng Texi, who has produced "The Hands of Mercy", once said that they will have a group of people to collect information. If they want to write a forensic drama, the crew will go to the scene to observe the anatomy.
Even though TVB is often criticized for being "in decline", it still retains this tradition.
The screenwriter of the medical industry drama "White Strong Man" said that the screenwriters will search for relevant information and try to be as close to the real medical scene as possible. After the script is completed, it will be reviewed by relevant professionals and the unreasonable parts will be modified.
Let me ask, do domestic entertainment industry dramas that hire big names and top-notch actors who spend a lot of money have the patience to modify the scripts just to be true to the industry?
probably can't do it.
It is precisely by adhering to the principle of slow work and meticulous work that Hong Kong dramas have produced industry dramas such as "Up to the Sky" with good reputations.
This is why Hong Kong industry dramas are full of workplace atmosphere and professional knowledge, and the picture of the workplace is presented in a professional and realistic manner.
When talking about TVB workplace dramas, several familiar scenes will flash by.
Forensic doctor Nie Baoyan, played by Chen Huishan, wore thin-framed glasses, walked through the crowd of onlookers expressionlessly, put on gloves neatly and got to work.
The pilot played by Wu Zhenyu and Ma Guoming in "The Sky" flies the plane calmly and calmly, soaring into the sky. Not to be cool, just to put the safety of passengers first.
In "Emperor One 5", lawyers have no time to talk about love in the law firm. After the courtroom quarrel, the losing party will gain the respect of the other party because of his professionalism.
The plot of this kind of person is absolutely not in line with the standards of popular dramas in today's domestic entertainment industry.
What our industry drama pursues is that the male and female protagonists must be like gods descending from the earth, with explosive aura, cheating abilities, and always good looks. The industry is just the background for the protagonist’s halo.
TVB industry dramas focus more on portraying the industry. The workplace comes first, and then we talk about the halo of the protagonist.
When a character flexes his muscles in the industry and wins respect, people can truly see the power of people in the workplace.
Although there are three hundred and sixty lines, each line has its own greatness.
But I have always believed that aviation is a profession that tests professionalism more.
Because matters of flight, life and death, I can't control them, but at least I can intervene.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
In such a position, let alone irresponsibility, even the slightest lack of clarity is unacceptable.
Because what they do is related to human life.
Hong Kong dramas may never be able to return to their peak, "The weather is not as expected, but if you have to go, you have to fly.".
As long as that professionalism remains, there will always be a new "News Queen" in TVB industry dramas, and she will definitely "soar into the sky" again.
Really excellent industry dramas can often understand the reality of the industry and use workplace details to take the audience into an industry.
