Why quality of mediacorp chinese dramas getting worse?

8008s SG

some sg dramas are very noisy, esp the 7-8pm slot.. keep on fight here fight there..

Fcukpap SG

perhaps lots of taiwan, korean and HK actresses sleep around more...thats why their acting skills or ermm popularity or exposure have rocketed sky high by leaps and bounds?

shouldn't we abscond watching their movies using that logic and be so stringent on ou own artistes?...

hoo hoo hoo....thats the entertainment industry......

Fcukpap SG

why be so stringent on our own artistes when most of us so loved and admire foreign ones who have so much of news coverage of their sleep arounds? huh,,,

hoo hoo hoo...

How many people you know love and admire foreign artistes despite news of their sleeping around?

Poignant SG

Cheapstake. Every weekdays 10am to 12pm, mediacorp boardcasts those 80s' and 90s'local drama. I thought the 25th anniversary drama campaign was over already two years ago?! Instead they should either ust boardcast the educational China dramas or repeat the 1st hand dramas for those who cannot catch it at night.

Actually, I would prefer if Mediacorp or Mobtv could show more of these "old shows" from the 90's...but Mediacorp refuse to grant Mobtv rights to have more shows on their website. sad man, if Mobtv could have a library of 90's shows. Currently they are charging $10 a month...it is very cheap if you have a wide selection...never ending of shows! Like TVB renting of vcds/dvds...if only Mediacorp can copy TVB....

Like that should extend to 9pm so as to end the epsiodes early.

TIB657M SG

No matter how 'bad' the standard of mediacorp drama is, one conclusion for the ending of the drama is:

Bad person either die or mend his ways (most of the time bad person ends up die if he does 'too many evil deeds'

Of course, good person has his good ending.

No need to po po ma ma like taiwan soap operas.

Yea...the dramas are getting really boring...I don't watch TV much nowadays, but when I do I only see people shouting and yelling at each other on channel 8 dramas. The stuff I watched in the 90's were more interesting.

TIB657M SG

Yeah, HK dramas and Taiwan soap operas rarely have shouting and yelling scene.

Since you don't watch local dramas, I will reccomend you to watch 欢喜来逗阵 (161 epsiodes in Taiwan edition) in youtube. Rarely seeing shouting and yelling scene, but mostly, peace and harmony.

noahnoah SG

true

nowdays the 9 pm channel 8 chinese

one CMI

always promoting the same actor/actress

all from the same nonya side

those nonya actors really cmi \

compare to LNX those oldies

they look like duckies

littlemissbonkers SG

Haha yeah! I think the actors/actresses from the 90's are alot better too...don't really like Joanna Peh and gang..

I miss series such as Immortal Love and Wok of Life..etc

@ TIB657M

Thanks for the recommendation :)

TIB657M SG

Not really use back same actors.

For 9pm drama (Must catch it today coz it is last epsiode!!!), Ch 8 decided to use Tiffany Leong and Prisilla Chan. They long time did not appear on the TV scene already.

Jessica Liu, if I remembered correctly, her last 'artpiece' is 'baby bonus'. Long time never see her act anymore........

If I not wrong, there are 1 to 2 actors (Like Terrance Cao etc...) who involve in 2 consecntive 9pm dramas.

How about asking Sharon Au to act in the drama again lol once she comes back from overseas (finishing her studying)

TIB657M SG

Haha yeah! I think the actors/actresses from the 90's are alot better too...don't really like Joanna Peh and gang..

@ TIB657M

Thanks for the recommendation :)

Too bad, most of them like: Wang Yu Qing etc... either left or become freelancers. Only Chen Shu Cheng, Xiang Yun, Jing Ying Ji, Hong Hui Fang still in mediacorp.

If I not wrong, Joanne Peh hosted with Chen Shu Cheng in the PSC nite before she became a full-time actor.

Hmm... how about those who left mediacorp for mediaworks last time like: Evelyn Tan, Chen Chuan Zhi etc...

littlemissbonkers SG

Hmmm I don't really like watching dramas which Xiang Yun acted in...coz most of them are really noisy (screaming, crying, ANGST)

For some reason I also think that the actors/actresses looked better in the past...Maybe I'm biased :P

Why quality of mediacorp chinese dramas getting worse? Compared to chinese dramas in the 1990s, the quality of dramas now are getting worse and worse and more and more state propaganda weaved into plot of dramas.

What happened to local chinese dramas?

Are you the clone of Poh Ah Peh aka angel3070 ?

People are switching to Starhub Cable TV and there are just too many interesting and high quality chinese dramas and variety shows to watch.

So, fewer people watch Media Corp dramas. With fewer viewers and so less advertising revenue, Mediacorp cut production cost and so the quality of local chinese drama dropped.

Mediacorp has been repeating its past popular chinese drama so frequently to cut and keep cost low in view of declining advertising revenue.

TIB657M SG

'your hand in mine' now 2nd series liao (change new theme song already)...

Egreatguitarist SG

mediacorp seems to be a little 'cui' now leh.. lol.. those dramas they produced are kinda boring compared to last time.. like 游戏人生, 添丁发财... but there are some shows which i think are not too bad too..
