The Productivity of Online Fans
In the internet epoch, the interaction and affection between artist and fans are increase. The television industry in Hong Kong development is matured. Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) is the famous television company in Hong Kong and China. TVB produces many TV dramas and these affect many 70s and 80s Hong Kong people. Unfortunately, recently this past 10 years, TVB drama and variety shows quality decrease, moreover science and technology development flourishing, people have many entertainment device. The attractiveness and requirement of TV programs is getting reduced in Hong Kong.
“Online fan sites will make TV producers more accountable to viewers”
(Andrejevic 2008, 26) This is totally correct if the TV producers follow this suggestion.
TVB drama program The Academy series
character “Laughing Gor”
who climbing and using his mobile phone on Lion Rock. This action is ridiculous and unbelievable
but this scene allows catch audience attention.
Therefore, people follow his pose and
create some image about this scene and use this image to chat with each other.
Moreover, some people study “Laughing Gor” climbing pose and take photo.
John Fiske has distinguished between different types of productivity,
which he labels "semiotic," "enunciative," and
"textual" production (Fiske, pp. 37–39). “ Laughing Gor” climbing
pose image is a semiotic and enunciative productivity. Furthermore, “Laughing
Gor” climbing image permits Capture Screen Culture getting popular. In this
case, some people may say the TV producer is not accountable to viewers. It is
because he presents an image that contravene human body limit. On the other
hand, The Academy series
is a drama; hence dramatic acting is acceptable and peoples no need too serious
to decode it. In order that I think if the TV program is a drama program, then
viewers are able to enjoy the dramatic effect. Drama is creates some fantasy
and dream. If the dream likes real life, the world may become boring. Moreover,
Hong Kong people pressure is too high, they would like to watch some high quality
TV program, however they still customary to watch something they do not like.
This phenomenon is not health for television industry and social culture.
Television industry in Hong Kong is in a controversial period. The attractiveness and requirement of TV programs is getting reduced. I hope that TVB is able to provide some high quality TV program to audience and the TV producers can be more accountable to viewers.
