On December 14, according to Hong Kong media reports, Liu Yifei, an old drama bone who has played for TVB for more than 30 years, is suspected of being unwell and has left THE NEST TVB in a low profile.
Liu Yifei, 72, was born and raised in the mainland and speaks very standard Mandarin. At the end of the 1980s, he joined the TVB dubbing team and began working as a voice actor.
In those years, he had many classic roles, such as Ding Yi crab in "Big Times", You Tanzhi and Murong Bo in "Tianlong Babu", Sha Monk in "Journey to the West", Duolong in "Deer Ding", etc., and his business ability was quite strong.
In the 1990s, Liu Yifei was photographed by the drama group and tried to star in a TV series as a supporting role. However, he played very few roles in his early days, sometimes without even a name.
It was not until he participated in the situation comedy "Love Home" that he received the attention of his audience and friends. In the play, he played the local tycoon Cao Zong, a character with a kind heart, a very heavy rural tone, full of joy, and left a deep impression on the audience.
In 2017, another situation comedy "Happy Express" began filming, and the screenwriter once again arranged for him to play the role of Cao Zong, and also increased his role, making him more and more popular, and "Cao Zong" has since become synonymous with him.
However, Liu Yifei has not appeared in "Happy Express" for a long time, and his voice actor profile on the TVB webpage has also been deleted. It is reported that he and TVB have long completed the appointment, and at the same time, it is reported that his body is sick.
Therefore, the reporter privately contacted Liu Yifei. It was indeed Liu Yifei himself who answered the phone, but when the reporter identified himself and wanted to ask him if he had left the nest, he did not continue to speak, but asked a girlfriend to pick him up.
The girlfriend was very emotional, she said, why do you ask this kind of question, you just ask the company. Asked if she was Liu Yifei's family, she said impatiently, I don't need to tell you.
In order to learn more about the details, the reporter contacted Yuan Wenjie, who had many rival plays with Liu Yifei in the play.
Yuan Wenjie admitted that he had not filmed with Liu Yifei for several months, and he did not know whether the other party left the nest or whether the role of "Cao Zong" would return to the crew.
Asked if he had heard that Liu Yifei was unwell, he did not respond directly, saying only that he would occasionally send text messages to greet the other party's physical condition.
Judging from the reaction of his girlfriend and Yuan Wenjie, Liu Yifei seems to have left the nest, and the specific reason for leaving the nest is unknown, no matter what, I wish him good health.
Speaking of which, in recent years, TVB's performance has become worse and worse, many third- and fourth-line artists have very low income, helplessly, everyone has chosen to leave the nest, there are many powerful actors with outstanding acting skills, such as Liu Jiang, Guan Lijie, etc., it is a pity.
