As the above graphic elucidated, the schedule of Viu TV did encompass the press
conference of Wong Dan and Fung King Yan.
2. Vicious Typecasting – Stereotyping of Social Stratham
During the pre-­‐production stage of the program, the characters were projected
with the respective public personae. For some embodiments, Shiga Lin acted as a
materialistic or self-­‐indulgent girl, Hocc acted as an underrepresented or
ruthless homosexual, Long Hair acted as an underprivileged or vociferous
agitator etc… Adversely, their counterparts were presented as a sophisticated
prestige such as “Mature or Gentle” Jasper Tsang, “Pragmatic or Courteous”
Gloria Yip and “Calm or Loyal” Zac Kao etc... Exposed beneath these kind of
distorted misrepresentations, the audience may be imbued with a biased
doctrine against the relevant social roles and the society may be perpetuated
with the emblazoned contradictories between various societal spectrums.
Nonetheless, the utmost bedrock of the program may render a rebounding effect
with the above dramatic characters’ dispositions: Defusing estrangements from
the polarized society. As for the intrinsic nature of the reality TV, a short
duration of aftermath would not really ease the rifts but can only magnify the
conflicts with the divulgence of the tip of the iceberg. Under the sham of
nurturing mutual understanding between deviated parties, the “diverse public
opinions” may be provoked and intensified to be the kind of “simmering
controversies”. In pursuance of “social unity”, a heap of maladies such as
compliance of the inferiorities or the humiliation of the minorities would be in
expense with the gloating pleasure from the “mainstream” of the society.
