FHProductionHK
FHProductionHK is a Hong Kong YouTube channel. Started in 2012, the channel produces comedic videos that focus on social issues in Hong Kong.
It was created by Darren Cheng and Kenrick Ho who wear bear masks to hide their faces from the audience. Cheng wears a Teddy Head mask (Chinese: 熊仔頭) from the Japanese fictional bear Rilakkuma, while Ho wears a Stitch or Blue Head mask (Chinese: 藍仔頭). FHProductionHK has a large following among people in the post-90s generation. The channel's videos are inspired by Stephen Chow and Hollywood films.
FHProductionHK makes money by receiving YouTube advertisement revenue and producing sponsored videos. FHProductionHK's videos have repeatedly been ranked in YouTube's yearly "Hong Kong Top Ten Trending Original Videos", including in 2014 when its video "My Days As a Student in Hong Kong (Part 1)" (Chinese: 我在香港讀書的日子 (上集)) ranked first.
FHProductionHK is a YouTube channel created on 19 January 2012 by Hongkongers Darren Cheng and Kenrick Ho, who had been acquaintances for over a decade. They chose to include "Production" in the name since they thought it sounded powerful. The pair always wear masks to hide their appearances. Cheng assumes the role of Teddy Head (Chinese: 熊仔頭) while Ho assumes the role of Stitch (Chinese: 史迪仔) or Blue Head (Chinese: 藍仔頭). Cheng puts on a Rilakkuma mask from a Japanese fictional bear. They do this owing to Ho's shyness and disinclination to show his face on camera, as well as Cheng's desire to match Ho. Cheng said he does not want viewers to believe he is trying to become famous. FHProductionHK used to have an office at the iPlace industrial building in Kwai Chung.
By 2013, the duo had produced 18 comedy videos focused on adolescent life and had achieved a large following from people in the post-90s generation. To film their videos, they used a digital camera affixed with adhesive tape to a piano stand as their tripod. Cheng and Ho relied on an online forum to conjure topics for their videos that appealed to their audience. Cheng, who had been a science student at the City University of Hong Kong, frequently included science topics in his skits. He routinely used a stream of convoluted statements to go into detail about straightforward scientific concepts. Cheng's short videos are inspired by the Hong Kong actor Stephen Chow and the longer ones by Hollywood films. Ho made vlogs about how Hong Kong people had wages in the tens of thousands and explored whether they needed to find part-time jobs. Additional vlogs he made were about delivering takeout, collecting cardboard, and aggressively buying crunchy chicken wings to eat after making HK$80 (US$10.3). Their most viewed video by 2013 had received nearly 700,000 views and was titled "Boys Have a Say 2", a satirical video of an adolescent boy complaining about his annoying girlfriend. In 2014, they started talks with an artist management company with the aim of entering the entertainment industry. The talks did not go smoothly, so they did not ink an agreement with the company. Instead, they established a company to self-manage their channel.
The South China Morning Post said in 2013 that FHProductionHK "takes on current issues and social phenomena by delivering a hilarious minutes-long speech". According to HK01, FHProductionHK "has a humorous style and down-to-earth material". The Oriental Daily News said the channel's videos were "hilarious and mo lei tau" and "down-to-earth pieces that reflected the aspirations of young people". East Week found in 2015 that "the cartoon headpieces give people a deep and special impression" and FHProductionHK "is highly sought after by netizens because of its thought-provoking sharing of sentiments". The Hong Kong Economic Times in 2015 cited the channel's comedic video "My Days As a Student in Hong Kong" (Chinese: 我在香港讀書的日子為題) as providing a great answer to a relative's question to a student, "You're studying that branch of study. How will you make money in the future?"
In 2016, the channel had a four-figure advertising revenue from YouTube, which Ho said was challenging for them to make a living on. As Hong Kong has a small number of residents compared to other areas and as the channel makes Cantonese videos, it has fewer viewers and thus revenue compared to foreign channels and channels that made videos in English. In 2019, the channel had over 500,000 subscribers and its videos routinely had hundreds of thousands of views with some videos reaching two million views. By 2019, compared to its earlier years, the channel's YouTube videos had a significant decrease in views down to a few hundred thousand. It previously made one video per month but in 2018 had released only seven or eight.
On 18 June 2019, Teddy Head made a video titled "The Use of Two Million and One People" (Chinese: 二百萬零一人的用處) that he posted on YouTube and Facebook reminding Hongkongers to register to vote in time for the 2019 District Council elections. The title referred to the number of people that demonstrators said had attended the 16 June 2019 protest against the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill. In the last minute of his video, he played a song from Hinry Lau as background music and the Hong Kong Economic Times said the video "seemed to mourn the 15 June death of a protester at the Pacific Place". On 8 September 2019, Cheng and Ho formed a team called "Chicken Wings Two Bears" (Chinese: 雞翼雙熊) to take part in Hong Kong Wing Day, which with 579 participants, broke the Guinness World Records for the "most people grilling/barbecuing simultaneously". At the event, they participated in a competition to roast the most delicious chicken wings for which they received a popularity award. At the D2 Place shopping mall at the Lunar New Year Festival in 2021, FHProductionHK set up a stall where it sold Teddy Head and Stitch eye covers.
