Mediacorp's drama are at their worst times now. That is what i personally feel. Hahhaa.
Anyway, if Mediacorp wishes to venture into the big market of Taiwan, China and Hongkong, they really need to buck up.
I have a few ideas on how they can do it better.
1) 古装剧
古装剧 is a type of drama that can venture into the overseas market easily. This is because the chinese population will be familiar with 金庸's novels. Therefore, even without the support of a big cast, the dramas will still strike a chord among viewers.
Think 《神雕侠侣》，《东游记》and 《笑傲江湖》. These dramas have all entered the Taiwanese, Chinese and Hongkong market. Therefore, 古装剧 is really a type of drama that Mediacorp can consider producing.
Wonder why Mediacorp don't produce 古装剧 now. This is because it requires a lot of money to produce a 古装剧. Furthermore, it's almost impossible to get sponsors for a 古装剧. Can you imagine 小龙女 bathing in a bathtub with Lux bottles just beside her? Or can you imagine 东方不败 eating London Chocolate roll? Hahaha. That is insane man!!!
2) Idol Dramas
Idol dramas are easy to produce. Mediacorp can get sponsors for idol dramas too. However, why cant Mediacorp idol dramas venture overseas?
This is because they are simply not producing idol dramas. Till now, only 《星锁》is an idol drama to me.
From what i know, 《星锁》is screened in Vietnam and Fann Wong's popularity soared after the screening of the show. However, i am not too sure if the show did screen in other countries. Hahaha.
See~~!!!
OMG!! The Vietnamese even created a video for her. Hahhaa.
I know what you are thinking now!!!! 《任我遨游》and other idol dramas that Mediacorp produced are not idol dramas. Hahhaa.
Just look at The Champion. Just look at the cast. We have Fiona Xie, Qi Yu Wu, Yan Xin Shu, Xiao Qiao, Jeanette Aw and Toro. Not forgetting Moses Lim, Julian hee and many others who have acted in the show.Woo~~!!! What a big cast!!!! Isn this an idol drama. Just look at Taiwan and Korea's idol dramas. Just look at《流星花园》，《宫－我的野蛮王妃》，《命中注定我爱你》and 《秋天的童话》. These dramas all only have a few main leads and the storyline revolves around their relationship.
Who wants to see Moses Lim struggling in the water just to salvage his about to expire lifeguard license. We rather watch him as Tan Ah Tech in Under One Roof!!!
See~! This is the problem with Mediacorp's idol dramas!!!
3) Period dramas
Period dramas like 《出路》，《和平的代价》and 《小娘惹》have ventured into the China market.
According to the Chinese websites, 《小娘惹》managed to garner a rather high viewership despite little publicity.
So, a good script is still what it takes. Hahhaa.
Anyway, it really still boils down to the script. If we get more《乒乓圆》and《双子星》，I guess everyone will start switching to cable tv. Seriously, relying just on 洪荣狄 is not enough. I think the government should get TVB into Singapore. That will be really great!!! Hahaha.
Seriously, i feel like posing a question to him.
Yesh!!! Him!!!
Isn he upset at seeing the dramas of Mediacorp now?
Hahhaa.
Gtg. I hate mondays. One of my candidate is about to play me out again. Darn.

I think 星锁 is not considered a 偶像剧.
Cause I don't think it has that much of 偶像 elements. Anyway, please update so that your viewership will go up.
lol ya, 星锁 is not considered a 偶像剧! whats an 偶像? its not a ah jie acting young! unless we're watching 敗犬女王, then yes fann wong can act in it.
and so far, the only time we managed to get good tv production was when chnnl u was around. i liked the show that bryan wong and quan yi feng acted in, the advertising firm one.
《星锁》is a drama so long ago. Fann Wong is so young then. Hahah.
