It’s been 10 days since I last updated my blog here, which is something quite unusual for an always active blogger like me. I decided to reserve more posts on December and to end the year with exactly 1300th post. Hence, lesser posts this month.
Okay, back to the main topic. TVB held its annual anniversary gala successfully yesterday. For this year, it’s TVB 46th birthday. Its series over the years have been part of my entertainment for at least ten years of my life. Despite the station being put in bad light in recent years for poor quality of dramas and programmes, I believe TVB would still continue to enjoy its success and popularity but seriously needs to work on complaints they received.
The TVB 46th Anniversary Gala held yesterday (19 November 2013) from 8pm to 10.30pm and was aired live in Malaysia here too (glad for it). It was reportedly attended by over 400 artistes, the biggest party TVB ever hosted but I believed most are unfamiliar faces. The heavyweight stars present are definitely the four veteran artistes; Liza Wang, Eric Tsang, Carol Cheng and Nat Chan together with Wayne Lai, Kenneth Ma, Linda Chung, Raymond Lam, Kate Tsui, Myolie Wu, Moses Chan, Kevin Cheng, Bosco Wong, Alan Tam, Kay Tse, etc. This year, the gala focused on presenting more big gifts or rewards (branded watch, glasses, jewelleries, TVB stock, luxurious car, apartment unit) to its artistes to win their hearts and continuous support to the station.
There were also dance and acrobatic performances, magic show, soccer segment, and music collaborations in the two and a half hour gala. However, I find these are rather dull and some appeared even awkward and nonsense. Mostly, only young unknown artistes performed while the famous ones just sat by the side and enjoy the show without any direct involvement. This is somewhat disappointing. Further to that, Eric Tsang whom would usually be making fun and tricks in a comedic section did not do so this year. Overall, the show was boring, except for the extra part where the present 400 artistes would be voting for their Best Actor, Best Actress and Most Talented Artiste.
It is something of a popularity award based on TVB peers’ choice. Kenneth Ma won the Best Actor, Krystal Tin won the Best Actress, while Helena Law won Most Talented Artiste. Very good selection of winners, but this result will not plays any part on the TVB Anniversary Awards next month. Wait a minute; the awards presentation will be held on 16 December, and surprisingly, the nomination list is still not released out yet. It’s less than a month to go. I will immediately post the nomination list here once it is out. Check back soon.
