the business drama "corporate strongman" jointly produced by tencent video and tvb will be broadcast on tencent video at 12 noon every day starting from september 16. it is produced by luo yongxian, who created the "strongman" series, and starred by chen hao, tan junyan, zhang xiwen, gong jiaxin, and jiang david. different from the stories in the past that revolved around the financial, lawyer, and doctor industries, this time luo yongxian chose to focus on the rapidly developing logistics industry.

the story focuses on the logistics industry for the first time, creating a new track for hong kong-style business war

chen hao plays zhao kai, a man who gave up his marriage and stable high-paying job to take risks to establish a logistics company. his company, "generation logistics", does not pursue maximum efficiency, but insists on "zero delays, zero accidents, and zero complaints". even if he has to spend a lot of money to rent a cargo plane, he will ensure that customers can receive the express delivery on time, and even take the initiative to distribute shares to employees. he is known as the "three good" boss.

his opponent is xu daoming, coo of generation logistics, played by tan junyan. they used to share the same ideals and wanted to turn generation logistics into a company with its own transportation tools and control the fate of the company. but now, due to different philosophies, they have become rivals who have parted ways, and the two are confronting each other in the business world.

the struggle between idealism and profit-oriented business is naturally inseparable from the struggle for property and complicated emotional disputes, each of which is familiar to us in hong kong dramas. but this time, the battlefield is no longer the high-end financial real estate, but the logistics industry that is grounded and focused on the lives of the masses. for example, should drones replace couriers? for example, when encountering transportation accidents, how should logistics companies deliver couriers to customers on time? peeling off the gorgeous shell and using the purest and most easily understood events to hit people's hearts directly, this is the first move of "corporate strongman".

the new business war rhythm of the customized drama takes off, and the characters are well-grounded and refuse to be stereotyped.

in "corporate tycoon", you can see the confrontation of business wars and emotional entanglements.

the key is that it gives tvb business war dramas new possibilities. first of all, kind people may not be without skills in the business world. the protagonist in the story is determined to break through and build up. whether it is a veteran in the business world or a little-known small boss, he has his own way of getting along with others.

secondly, in the narrative of this drama, women are no longer vassals in the business war. they are not someone's secretary, or a pawn in a marriage, but the real chess player. song qiao, played by zhang xiwen, did not feel any self-pity after divorcing zhao kai, and grew step by step from a financial anchor to the head of a capital company. there is a girl who is as full of vitality as a grass. even if she has a background that others dream of, she just wants to make her own way through hard work. this is fang fang played by gong jiaxin. she doesn't care about her face. she dares to stop zhao kai's car in front of him. she can also build a good relationship with everyone in the mixed streets. this is the unique female power of hong kong dramas.

the large-scale production of customized dramas has injected more possibilities into hong kong dramas. whether it is the shooting of large scenes such as large sorting centers and drone takeoffs, or more magnificent shots, it requires greater investment to achieve. the advantage of hong kong dramas lies in the control of details and the rhythm of business wars. in the end, it can always give people a long aftertaste of the human world.

the main creators of "corporate strongman" are the familiar duo: producer luo yongxian and screenwriter huang weiqiang. the "strongman" series they jointly created, "legal strongman", "white strongman", "drug breaker", etc., are representative works of hong kong workplace dramas. even if it is the first time to try business war, they still show their familiarity with the rhythm in the details. you can see the thrills in the business war, kidnapping, car accidents, and board of directors forcing the palace, the rhythm takes off directly. you can also see a corner of ordinary people's hard work. even if they are so tired that they sleep in the rocking chair at the door for a night, they can still greet the new day with vigor.

in general, tvb's business drama "corporate tycoon" can be said to be good at depicting the intrigues in the business world, but it can also grasp every inch of detail in every corner of life, injecting reality into the grounded plot, and easily establishing the characters and the plot.

when the so-called high-end business war meets the down-to-earth logistics industry, when the business world that only cares about profits meets zhao kai, who talks about human feelings and tenderness, the story takes root and sprouts, and grows different flowers. this is the different wave that "corporate strongman" brings to hong kong dramas. this time, the signboard and flag of the strongman series are still flying.
