Liu Jiang, a 74-year-old veteran ARTIST of TVB, announced his departure from the nest in 2020, the main reason is that he did not get the kindness of TVB, although he was a bit discouraged at the time, but he also left a line, saying that if there is a suitable script in the future, he will still consider cooperating with TVB. After a year, Liu Jiang returned to TVB, but not as an actor, but as a mentor who participated in the variety show "Good Voice and Good Drama" as a special guest. Many people think that Liu Jiang's promise to return as a mentor this time is the prelude to his return to TVB, after all, since Zeng Zhiwei returned to the nest to reorganize variety shows, music and other departments, many veteran artists have returned to the nest. However, unexpectedly, Liu Jiang only promised to come back as a mentor, but refused to continue filming, even though he still has drama addiction, but also bluntly said that there are some things, or to learn to put down.
Since Zeng Zhiwei announced his return to TVB as a senior executive, TVB has made great adjustments in personnel, which is really a new style and a new atmosphere, and at the same time, he has also seen many artists who have left the nest and returned to TVB, including Liu Jiang. Frankly speaking, after Zeng Zhiwei returned to the nest, although he needed a lot of fresh blood to re-inject into TVB, hoping to bring a new look, but in terms of inviting artists back to the nest, he also has his own principles, will not easily open his mouth, many times through Wang Zulan to play the love card, such as Ruan Zhaoxiang, Luo Minzhuang, etc. are invited back by Wang Zulan. Only some highly respected artists, or artists with relatively large coffee positions, can make Zeng Zhiwei personally go out, Liu Jiang is not a big coffee artist, but he is highly respected, and he left TVB with dissatisfaction at that time, so Zeng Zhiwei also wanted to invite Liu Jiang to return to TVB in his own way.
Liu Jiang publicly left the nest at the 2020 TVB Awards Ceremony, which undoubtedly brought impact and embarrassment to the festive awards ceremony. Although Liu Jiang did not directly disclose the reason for leaving the nest at that time because of the problem of treatment, but only explained that the elderly were not valued by TVB, it was the climax of TVB's change of the relationship with the older generation of green leaf contracts, changing the content of the contract, so it was easy for the media to guess the truth. Facts have proved that Liu Jiang left the nest because of the treatment problem, and then he vaguely exposed himself, his workload was greatly reduced, and the immediate effect was the decline in salary, the peak period was once 60,000 yuan per month, and when he came to 2019, there was only 7500 yuan left, if according to the new contract system, the monthly salary was only about 5000 yuan. Even if Liu Jiang did not shoot because of money, it was difficult to balance, and in the end he could only choose to leave the nest.
TVB estimated that it did not expect that Liu Jiang's departure from the nest would arouse so much media attention, so as to form a fermentation effect, and was charged with disrespecting old artists. However, the TVB team at that time still did not think so, still adhering to the concept of "no one without TVB will stop operating", and there was no response or retention to this. Later, Zeng Zhiwei returned to the nest, reorganized the personnel style, he had a very high right to speak, he still had the heart to recall Liu Jiang back - after all, Liu Jiang is a talent, able to write and martial arts, from the primary school Peking Opera, in Jiashi, Li TV, TVB filmed more than 220 sets of works, superb acting skills, and is a first-class voice actor, people before and after are called teachers, the focus is that Liu Jiang has always said that he does not want to retire, Zeng Zhiwei of course wants to make up for TVB's decision-making mistakes.
However, Zeng Zhiwei did not directly call Liu Jiang back at the beginning, after all, it was inconvenient, and he learned that Liu Jiang ran with Zhou Runfa every day after leaving the nest, of which his friend Tan Yonglin was also involved, he asked Tan Yonglin to help explore Liu Jiang's mouth, and then personally invited himself. However, Liu Jiang has always reserved his attitude towards returning to TVB, and finally only agreed to return to TVB as the mentor of "Good Voice and Good Drama", and has not been relaxed about filming.
In fact, Liu Jiang still wants to shoot drama, when he announced his departure from TVB in 2020, he did not say that he would never shoot TVB again, and said at the time that as long as there is a good script, he will definitely cooperate, but throughout 2020, because the epidemic has undergone earth-shaking changes, many plans have been disrupted, including the development of the north, and in Hong Kong, because of the repeated epidemics, he has not had the opportunity to participate in too much filming work, and over time it has become a retirement life. When he was interviewed, he said that he did not want to retire, it was the epidemic that forced him to retire, but he adapted to such a life, and he did not have so much interest in filming, so even if Zeng Zhiwei opened his mouth, he was not moved.
Liu Jiang refused Zeng Zhiwei's invitation to return to the nest to shoot a drama, he did not want to talk too much, not because of xuanxuan, but out of low profile, he did not like to play right and wrong. In fact, after leaving the nest in 2020, he did not take too much initiative to explain the matter of leaving the nest, nor did he say that TVB did not say anything. However, for the reason why he refused to allow Zeng Zhiwei to return to the nest to shoot a scene, Liu Jiang took the initiative to say that it had nothing to do with salary and treatment, he believed that working under the epidemic, all staff would wear masks, but only actors would not wear them, which was a big risk for him, because he was not young and did not want to take this risk. I don't know if Liu Jiang's words are excuses, or real thoughts, I believe that a year ago he left the nest because of TVB's salary cut, or it will make him difficult to let go, anyway, since he has publicly stated that he will not return to TVB to shoot for the time being, he should also respect, I hope that the epidemic will pass as soon as possible, Liu Jiang also has new work plans.
