On December 22, Liu Yifei, an old drama bone, was interviewed by Hong Kong media, and he officially announced his departure from TVB.
Liu Yifei, 72, was born in the mainland and is therefore fluent in Mandarin. More than thirty years ago, he joined the TVB dubbing team and tried to be a voice actor.
With a strong and recognizable voice, he has voiced many classic characters over the years, including You Tanzhi of "Tianlong Babu" and Ding Yi crab of "Big Time".
In addition to dubbing, Liu Yifei also has acting. However, most of the roles he played in his early years were small supporting roles with few roles, and it was difficult to make an impression.
In 2012, TVB began filming the situation comedy "Love Homecoming", and the executive producer invited him to play the role of Cao Zong, a rich man in the mainland. At the beginning, the number of appearances of this role was not high, but the pleasing character setting coupled with his superb acting skills gave life to the role and was liked by more and more audiences.
After the end of "Love Homecoming", the screenwriter continued the role of Cao Zong in another situation comedy, "Happy Express", which made Liu Yifei more and more popular.
However, in the number of episodes broadcast in the past few months, Cao Zong has not appeared, and some netizens have also found that the TVB webpage deleted Liu Yifei's information.
After that, the reporter contacted Liu Yifei, who was unwilling to respond positively, but let his girlfriend answer on his behalf, and the other party's attitude was very impatient. Therefore, many people speculate that he not only left the nest, but also may have a disagreement with TVB.
After a few days of silence, Liu Yifei finally opened his mouth. He denied discord with TVB, revealing that he was only unwell and needed to recuperate, and did not want to affect his work because of his body, which made the company embarrassed, in case something was not good for everyone.
Although he was very reluctant to let Liu Yifei leave the nest, he was unwell, and it was really not good to continue filming reluctantly, I hope that he will take good care of his body and strive for the opportunity to shoot again in the future.
Speaking of which, in the past two years, there have really been many old drama bones leaving the nest, but not everyone is like Liu Yifei, who is good to get together with TVB.
Yu Ziming, who played Jiang Ziya in "Fengshen List", is very dissatisfied with TVB and has publicly complained about the old owner many times.
Yu Ziming said that the company hated that he was old and useless, refused to sign the previous contract with him, and wanted him to change the contract of one year and one Show, with an annual salary of about 10,000 yuan, calculating that it was only 800 yuan a month. Faced with such harsh conditions for contract renewal, he resolutely refused and switched to other TELEVISION stations.
Currently, he works for TVB rival TV station ViuTV. Although they did not cooperate for a long time, he praised the new owner, saying that the new owner not only had a reasonable salary, but also the cooperative actors had a good attitude towards themselves and did not have to work so hard. He also couldn't help but satirize TVB's brilliance no longer.
Seriously, the current TVB is indeed not what it used to be, this year's ratings have even reached new lows, I don't know if the new general manager Zeng Zhiwei can make a tvB makeover and regain the scenery of the past?
