Minister criticises Ch 8 drama serials: Love Thy Neighbour

[pinky]

limlim:

It's basically a nice show but most dislike is the part when the characters are defending the govt and the show is like a mouthpiece for the govt..


They purposely make it such that the criticisms lacked depth while those defending seems to give good excuses..

I don't watch the drama but based on newspapers comments, there were
issues regarding foreigners integration and there was an actress portraying as a PRC wife and her views of our society..

李奕贤澄清面簿留言：不是开火狠批本地连续剧


贸工部兼国家发展部政务部长李奕贤，昨晚在Facebook上说，他指“第八播道连续剧里的对话，漫骂多，寒暄少；呐喊多，细语少；争执多，解释少；傲慢多，谦卑少”，是分享他的看法，只是想电视节目和大众媒体的内容可以协助提高中文应用水平，和塑造优雅的社会行为。

部长澄清，指他不是媒体所指的在“开火”或“狠批”本地剧，也不是“猛轰，看不下去”。

他解释，了解他的人都知道他的个性不可能批评他人。

他说：“我之所以分享我的看法，只是想电视节目和大众媒体的内容可以协助提高中文应用水平，和朔造优雅的社会行为。”

他表示，许多受欢迎的中港台剧都有贴切的对白，可以当作参考例子。

他说，与其说节目跟随大众，不如节目带领大众。好的制作既要反映生活，也要丰富生活。

Well said.

I watched this show and find it entertaining. It attempts to reflect some grassroot sentiments and explain some issues. In yesterday nite show, when HuangWenYong was complaining about the foreigners, his daughter tried to explain the economic benefits. It turned into deaf ear.

Maybe stir stir a bit to up the viewership de.. .. :evil:

But thought the \"sneak preview\" of the show already shows what it is roughly about.


Nothing seems very interesting...

save time and electricity better.

I totally agree with the Minister, there are very few (even none) good drama nowadays, I miss the time when I was a kid watching the local drama, TCS should put in more effort instead of doing all those low quality drama!

[LOLMum]

i prefer the documentary shows like \"财经追击“，星期二特写” etc .


“摆家乐”和“播音人”(those half hr shows) were some of the better shows.

for the past few years, the local chinese drama shows (maybe not little nonya), really awful.


my mil and sil in hk like the little nonya too. i sent them a set even though they had already seen it on tv in hk

i thought after the 1st or 2nd eposide was aired, alot of viewers wrote in Mediacorp to complain... and requested for it to be taken off programme schedule...


but apparently, its still ongoing... as per normal..

they can't really put any show off the air. After sinking in money to produce the series, they have to recover their costs through advertising. To put it off the air would mean a loss and somebody would have to answer for it.
