Dear tellchannel8@mediacorp.com.sg,

 

Tell me why your production and story writing capabilities never improve? Why every time do family drama dun have 新鲜感. Even  the Koreans or Chineses are making vast improvements.  The variety is even worst. Netflix can do competition shows on florist, real estate agents, interior and fashion designing but mdc only limited to food shows. Really waste talents

 

Regards.

Joker this annkokfan, ownself reply and then say it's troll.

 

Don't be surprised if they reply as they have many staff to do research. Moreover, annkokfan has been writing posts on upcoming dramas and discussing star awards positively, hard to find these days when most posts are negative towards the TV station. 

 

BTW that's the email address for Channel 8. Funny annkokfan try to send email by replying here.

I have an idea to suggest to MediaCorp: How about adopting Brazilian miniseries or telenovelas, especially like "Babilônia" (2015). Don't worry, "parallel reality" will be employed here; come on, Sinkie writers shoudn't become boring/nil in creativity.

 

Bonus:

It will be better if it's either Singlish or Singaporean Pidgin Malay, especially the latter. ✌️😉

Tbh, i don't think mdc top management are passionate about their jobs.

 

Mediacorp really need to upgrade productions and storytelling skills. There are so many topics they can write about yet they didn't want to do. It was only the last 1-2 years MDC started to write dramas related to time travelling which was already a popular plot to use in Korean and Chinese dramas. They could have also written drama based on real life stories, law and politics, history, aviation, construction workers, heritage, beauty pageant or zombie apocalypse. But none of them were picked up at all. 

 

If HBR was right about that production value for the new 7pm long form drama《味之道》will be shot like 9pm dramas, then I'm going to predict it is MDC's intent to move family oriented dramas to the earlier time slots while leaving the 9pm for the other genres such as idol, romance and suspense. 

 

在接获剧本及了解角色后,黄碧仁认为故事不像以往看到的长寿剧,反而更像是9点档的剧情。“角色方面我也觉得蛮有挑战性的,就没有想太多,只觉得反正我也隔了4年没拍戏,现在有邀约,角色也是挺有挑战性的,就接下了。”

Ohhh one thing to add.... MDC is also bad at their set design for dramas. Props used in period drama are as good as new, not even realistic at all. 

 

Closest to best was The Little Nyonya.

I guess this is a sign that MDC is finally feeling the pressure to up local TV standards?

IMDA regulations has kinda restricted storytelling and the type of drama MDC can filmed. It's pretty sad. I'd definitely want lesser family drama and more of the others.

 

Taking a look at all the upcoming dramas and it seems like they are most revolving around family matters. 

 

男神不敗 - Family 

好世谋2 - Family 

太平纹身店 - Melodrama / Suspense

花花公子 - Romance

森林生存记 - Workplace / Family

味之道 - Family 

操控

过江新娘 - Family

I don't think can keep blaming IMDA, Their restrictions might be annoying but there is no reason why scriptwriters can't write a good script that doesn't involve typical heartlander aunty issues.

 

I think the main issue is the only people supporting Ch8 dramas now are the older generation, who love these family dramas. So instead of taking a risk on a primetime 9pm slot, they rather stick to the old tried and tested method of bickering family drama because its relatable and enjoyable for the oldies watching it.

 

I notice they are experimenting with more trendy and risky themes on MeWatch with shows like The Last Madame (about a brothel owner), 2589 Days Apart (teacher student romance) - all relatively risky projects. But so far, no huge breakout hits yet although The Last Madame was not bad and remains the only MeWatch show I have seen so far.

 

MDC just needs another Little Nyonya level hit on MeWatch that is not a family drama then they will be more incentivised to produce more innovative content. It's not impossible and for the sake of local showbiz, hopefully one day they can do it.

Mediacorp upcoming drama 我的女侠罗明依 starring Carrie Wong and 715 seems to resemble Korean drama ‘Live up to your name’ that was aired in 2017.

 

Copy again?

我的女侠罗明依 could be the biggest drama of the year and Carrie's 代表作

 

I'm going to predict MDC is going film more period drama after this.

Yes i think 4-6 episodes only. They mentioned this is only a trial to see if tv audience are receptive to period drama before deciding if they should produce more of such genre.

Hahahahahahahaha

 

Fann Wong reduced to bit role in TW drama!

Hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa

 

Ehhh what's so funny?

 

In the recent interview Fann did with Quan Yi Fong, it was very evident that Fann now prioritises her son and wants to spend as much time with him as possible. She herself stated she definitely won't do any overseas dramas that require a lot of commitment, and even those one weekend type she also need to think about it. When she first gave birth, her manager also remarked in an interview that Fann rejecting all the offers was getting very embarrassing.

 

So it is not like Fann has become washed up. She chose to step away from the limelight to focus on raising her son. It's no secret Fann and Chris struggled for very long before they could have Zedd. So it makes sense why she much rather spend time with her son.

 

Frankly speaking, Fann has nothing more to prove. She starred in both Hollywood and Chinese movies, released successful albums (notably 'Shopping' which sold HALF A MILLION copies), sold out the entire National Stadium for a solo concert (the 'popular' Sam Willows can only dream of achieving this) and played lead roles alongside some of the biggest names in Asia like Jackie Chan, Maggie Q, Fan Bing Bing, Gallen Lo, Bowie Lam etc.

 

She is still Mediacorp's most successful international artiste and she is already a national icon.

I never understood why they even offered that role to Biren.

 

Biren was a leading lady and had just won the 'My Favourite Actress' Star Award beating out every single female artiste in MDC. Yet they only offered her a supporting role and expect her to play supporting role to Jeanette Aw and Joanne in a role that is not even as major as Lin Meijiao's role? 

 

No wonder Biren reject. 

 

Zoe obviously won't take up a supporting role whereas Xiang Yun has always been playing supporting roles.

That role is not a small role, ranged from 18 to 80.

 

Zoe was the one who revealed that she went to beg for a role then.

 

Biren rejected based on medical grounds.

 

Xiangyun still occasionally plays leads these days, maybe once in 5 years, in show which deals with seniors.

Are these Thai dramas came from the cable channels (edgier plots) or from the terrestrial networks (you know, tried and tested melodramas)?

Everyone knew how Lao Zoe, who was filming 'Cheebye My Side' with Auntie Chen back then, went over to Studio 3 and harangued the production team of Little Nyonya to give her a role in the drama.

 

She was pestering them and interrupting the workflow until director Chia Mien Yang 谢敏洋 had to come over and tell her in no uncertain terms to bugger off.

Why did chia not consider lz for br role? Lz is younger than lmj and is more convincing age wise?  Afterall xy is acting as senior Yue niang. 

 

Unless lz wanted Yue niang role.
