Fang Yihua's heart was really stuck at this moment, and she felt so miserable that she couldn't express it.
Faced with Kobayashi Tenmo and Asia Television's reckless charge, she didn't even have the strength or courage to stop them.
Fang Yihua herself found it funny when she thought about the bold words she said today when she encouraged TVB employees to fight this battle well.
Looking at the two bosses, Run Run Shaw and Li Ho-wo, Mona Fong felt guilty and thought it was her own incompetence. She had so many resources at TVB, but was defeated by Asia Television's "Focus Interview".
Regarding the program "Focus Interview", she was not shocked by the undercover revelations in the program, but she was also aware of these methods.
What shocked her the most was Kobayashi Tenwang's determination to deal with the problems in his company!
Taking action against the company that he controlled was the most brutal way, and it instantly built an unshakable foundation of credibility for "Focus Interview"!
This courage and ruthlessness really made her feel an invincible chill in her heart for the first time.
Ruthless! A truly ruthless person.
It can be said that in the entire Hong Kong Island, Fang Yihua has never seen a tycoon more ruthless and ruthless than Kobayashi Tianwang.
Those tycoons have been famous for a long time, and when they use ruthless tactics, it is often before they have accumulated some initial wealth. After they have a little property, they become quite low-key and humble.
He was nothing like Kobayashi Tenwang, who was just like a bandit, rushing in with a machete and waving it around without caring whether it would hit his own people.
Run Run Shaw had his back to the screen, facing the dazzling night view of Victoria Harbour.
Having been in the business world for decades, he has seen countless storms, but he has never seen such an "unreasonable" way of playing.
This program of ATV has gone beyond the scope of commercial competition.
To use a very trendy word from the work "The Three-Body Problem" to describe it, TVB was hit by a dimensionality reduction attack by "Focus Interview".
This feeling made Run Run Shaw feel the same frustration as Mona Fong.
But at the same time, Run Run Shaw, a television tycoon, also clearly felt a huge change in the television industry.
The star effect and entertainment-to-death philosophy that TVB used to be proud of are truly fragile and vulnerable in the face of such a dimensionality reduction attack.
He felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. Perhaps the times really had changed.
Li Ka-shing paced around the office in annoyance, holding the preliminary ratings report that had just been delivered.
"It's just grandstanding! It's eye-catching! The audience will come back sooner or later! TVB's decades-long foundation can't be shaken by a few new shows!"
He seemed to be trying to convince others, but more likely to be trying to convince himself. However, the heavy sense of frustration that permeated the office silently punctured his self-comfort.
Everyone knows that once the audience gets used to ATV's hard-core style of "telling the truth and exploring the truth", and gets used to the shock and thinking it brings, it will be extremely difficult to get them to return to TVB's carefully woven entertainment fantasy.
In the study of the Governor's House, the lights were on, but the atmosphere seemed more solemn than that of the TVB building.
Hong Kong Governor Sir Murray MacLehose watched the videotape of "Focus Interview" repeatedly, but his brows were completely twisted into a deep "chuan" character.
When ordinary people watch "Focus Interview", their attention is all focused on the shocking content reported.
People in the television industry watch "Focus Interview" and see the novelty and gimmicks of this type of television program, as well as its skyrocketing ratings.
But after watching the "Focus Interview", MacLehose became completely panicked. What he saw was a sword hanging over the head of the Hong Kong government.
This is a very serious matter!
Currently, Hong Kong Island is still under the rule of Britain, and the Hong Kong government still has the final say!
However, the Hong Kong government cannot ignore the public opinion of Hong Kong Island!
Murray MacLehose was the Governor of Hong Kong who paid the most attention to people's livelihood and reputation. Now there is such a popular program that reports only on people's livelihood issues. So, should Murray MacLehose solve these problems?
If the problem is not resolved, how will the citizens view the Hong Kong government? Will they say that the Governor of Hong Kong is eating for free?
But if the Hong Kong government actively cooperates to solve problems every time "Focus Interview" exposes problems, wouldn't it be further enhancing the reputation of "Focus Interview"?
The Hong Kong government will attack wherever "Focus Interview" points. Has the Hong Kong government become its lackey?
His wife Deng Liping, who was sitting nearby, also saw this and said after a moment's silence:
"Murray, this program... it's not reporting the news, it's a trial. It exposes the Hong Kong government's governance failures nakedly for everyone to see."
Whenever Deng Liping thinks of the dirty scenes in the show and the unsafe food that the lower-class citizens may eat every day, she feels nauseous.
MacLehose did not answer immediately.
He took off his glasses and rubbed his brow wearily. The screen was frozen with footage of the Department of Health inspectors going through the motions, captured by reporters during an undercover investigation.
The power of this program called "Focus Interview" far exceeded his expectations.
It not only exposes food safety issues, but more frighteningly, it sets a benchmark for "telling the truth and exploring the truth," an attitude that dares to draw the sword against any authority or any interest group.
This attitude will be an unprecedented challenge to the governing authority of the British Hong Kong government.
Today it could expose the Dairy Farm, but what about tomorrow? Who would it point to? The city government? The police? Or even… Governor's House itself?
This is also an aspect that MacLehose has to consider carefully. "Focus Interview" is not only about supervising people's livelihood, but may also be evolved into supervising various departments and functions of the Hong Kong government.
