Some Taiwan media that have no news and want to create news have come to show the "lower limit of festival exercises."
Recently, many Taiwan media have been spreading a news story of "the development of Hong Kong movie stars in the mainland is desolate", and the headline is strange and sensational when it sounds -- "57-year-old male star who sees the emperor going to the mainland to fall into a 'street stall'", with a picture of a man sitting on a small horse playing guitar, suspected of selling singing.
If you take a closer look, the picture is clearly a well-known Hong Kong actor and TVB third-time TVB emperor Li Yaoxiang, and this so-called "selling singing" photo is actually taken from a video of him traveling in Bozhou, Anhui Province. Li Yaoxiang, who has now settled in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, has developed in the interior at all as the Taiwan media called "poor development and desolate evening scenery."
Even if you have not seen Li Yaoxiang's drama, you will definitely recognize this emoji:, Liang Extraordinary! ”
This scene is from the TVB TV series "The Righteous Sea of the Gangster", Li Yaoxiang starred in the awakening era, full of pride, righteousness of the Guangzhou policeman "Liu Xing", in the play he angrily rebuked the boss played by Mai Changqing "Liang Feifan", with a very tense performance and magical lines became one of the ghost animal materials that netizens liked to hear.
Lai Yiu-cheung, a 57-year-old Hong Kong actor who has been debuting for 35 years, has made hundreds of TV series and movies so far, and his superb acting skills have left a deep impression on the audience.
Among them, the "Eight Precepts of the Pig" in the Hong Kong version of "Journey to the West", the "Chai Jiu" in "The Gangster", and the "Liu Xing" in the "Righteous Sea Pride of the Towel", are the most well-known. The "Nine Girls" played by him and Deng Cuiwen are still one of the "TVB Best CP" in the minds of many viewers, and the two have become the first pair of TVB to win the best male and female protagonists for two consecutive years.
After running the dragon set for many years, Li Yaoxiang, who did not start to serve as the first male lead until 2009, accumulated thick hair, and with "Yihai Haoqing" "Liu Xing", "Grand Eunuch" "Li Lianying", "Gonggong Out of the Palace" "Li Sugong", won the TVB Best Actor for 3 consecutive years, and also became another "Three Materials Emperor" after Luo Jialiang.
In recent years, in addition to continuing TVB's drama shooting work, Li Yaoxiang, whose ancestral home is in Shanwei, Guangdong Province, has not only shifted the focus of his career to the mainland, but also moved his family to Zhongshan, Guangdong.
Hong Kong media reported that in 2007, Lai Yaoxiang bought a 940-foot (about 87㎡) house in Hong Kong for 5.57 million Hong Kong dollars, and after moving in, he won the emperor three times, and also called the house "Feng Shui House". In 2020, he sold the property for 13.5 million yuan, and after making nearly 8 million yuan, the couple did not continue to buy a house, but set their sights on the Greater Bay Area.
According to the Southern Metropolis Daily, Li Yaoxiang revealed that moving to the mainland to live on the one hand is to consider the problem of epidemic isolation, on the other hand, he also wants to inherit the feelings of his father's hometown. "My father's local feelings were very strong, and at that time, my father had a wish, that is, to take the whole family back to the countryside to Shanwei Haifeng for a walk. In the year I graduated from high school, my uncles and brothers were free, and everyone organized a group, organized by my father, and a large group of people went back to the countryside of Shanwei and went to our Hengshan village. I saw that my father was very happy, and there was a heartfelt joy of returning to his hometown. I think that my feelings for the countryside from childhood to adulthood are innate and passed down to me by my father. ”
Li Yaoxiang also remembered coming to the mainland to visit his grandmother when he was a child, when he felt that Guangzhou was very broken, the building was old, and there was no elevator. However, when he grew up and stepped into the mainland again, he was shocked to find that the speed of development in the mainland was simply unparalleled, and a sense of pride suddenly emerged.
This is also the reason why he has recently come to the mainland to develop, and he also hopes to stay in the Greater Bay Area, in addition to work, but also to broaden his horizons and knowledge levels, and establish his circle of friends and life in the Greater Bay Area. It also made him more aware of how fortunate he was to be in the best era after the return to China, when the country was thriving, and how fortunate he was to be a performer in Hong Kong, China.
"I'm not just a Hongkonger, I'm Chinese. At present, the state attaches great importance to the development of the Greater Bay Area, which can help expand Hong Kong's culture and market, and Hong Kong culture and mainland culture exchange, complement and integrate with each other, I think this is a long-term and best development direction. ”
Li Yaoxiang said that because of his strong feelings of home and country, he chose to travel to the mainland when he was a child, and as soon as he saved money, he went to Huizhou and Yunfu in Guangdong to play, and the second trip went to Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, and then to Beijing to visit the Summer Palace and climb the Great Wall. "When I was a child, I had this dream: to finish reading, make a little money, put on my backpack, and take a small amount of travel money to travel around China and travel all over the land of Shenzhou."
Therefore, in addition to settling down and working in the mainland, Li Yaoxiang took his wife to travel all over the motherland in his spare time, and became a travel blogger on the short video platform to share his life in the mainland.
In November alone, he went to Yantai in Shandong, Dongguan in Guangdong, Hangzhou in Zhejiang, Shanghai, Bozhou in Anhui, Huainan, Fuzhou in Fujian, Taiyuan in Shanxi, and yesterday in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, wearing clothes printed with the word "China" and masks with the word "China" printed on it.
However, Li Yaoxiang certainly could not have imagined that he would have fun in the mainland and that the Taiwan media would be even happier in spreading rumors.
In the past two days, many Taiwan media have been spreading a news story that "Hong Kong movie stars are developing desolately in the mainland", and the headline is all shocking: "The 57-year-old male star of the Emperor went to the mainland to fall into a 'street stall'!" "40 years of poignant images flowing out", with a picture of a man in a black down jacket sitting on a pony and playing a guitar, and the table in front of him is full of guitars, harmonica and other instruments.
The man in the photo is Li Yaoxiang, and the photo is actually taken from a video he posted while traveling in Bozhou, Anhui Province. At that time, he was passing by the stalls in the night market, so he asked the stall owner to let him play a song.
However, in the reports of these Taiwan media, they carefully spread rumors that Li Yaoxiang seemed to have "developed badly and the evening scene was desolate" after coming to work on the mainland, and also described the picture of him selling musical instruments as "looking a little bitter", until the end of the article, he simply mentioned that "it turned out that this was a video of his travels." This wave of "news fraud" Bo eyeballs was also angrily scolded by Taiwanese netizens, "This headline is really a locomotive" "Before it was copied news, now have you started to compile news..."
