In the history of Hong Kong television, there was a TV station that fought with TVB for decades and reached a height that today's ViuTV can not reach, it is Asia Television (ATV). Unfortunately, the TV station was suspended many years ago due to poor management.
TVB artist Jiang Meiyi has played for ATV for 10 years, and is still full of gratitude and nostalgia for her old owner, she said in an interview with "Ming Zhou" that without the cultivation of ATV, she would not have been able to achieve later achievements, although before that she was already a well-known model, and Zhou Runfa had filmed advertisements, and served as MV heroines for Andy Lau and Li Ming. PS: In the 90s, I was withdrawn from the circle because of immigration
"After I immigrated to Canada, I lived in my uncle's house, I couldn't find a job in the local area, and then I received a call from ATV, they said they had seen my advertisement and wanted to find me back to Hong Kong to shoot a movie. I joked at the time that if I came back as a heroine, I would run the dragon set and make green leaves without talking, but I didn't expect that they really agreed and really let me be the heroine. Jiang Meiyi said.
However, at that time, Jiang Meiyi did not have any acting foundation, and it was naturally unqualified to shoot a drama, and starring in the first drama series "Fat Cat Zhengbiao" was strongly questioned by the front and back of the stage.
"Being scolded to fly. I felt at the time that there was a big difference between being an actor and being a model, the former was hell, the latter was heaven, before shooting commercials, everyone treated me as a princess or queen, but when I went to ATV filming, I was always criticized and scolded, and everyone in front of and behind the scenes had opinions about me. Brother Kent (Zheng Zeshi) is very demanding, once with him to shoot, he wants to fall, such a fat person to do this action is really hard, and I am like an idiot, even how to stand do not understand, so that he has to repeat all the time, and finally scolded me. ”
Since that time was scolded, Jiang Meiyi began to seriously study as an actor, humbly asked colleagues for advice, the progress became more and more obvious, and the ATV front and behind the scenes saw that the "paratroopers" worked so hard, they opened their hearts to accept her, and after that they got along like family. "I've been working at ATV for 10 years, and what I miss most is the human touch there." Jiang Meiyi said emotionally.
After more than ten years of leaving ATV, still full of praise for the old owner, Jiang Meiyi is undoubtedly a person with high emotional intelligence and gratitude. In contrast, another ATV representative, Tian Ruini, is completely different, after joining TVB, she has repeatedly attacked her old owner, and has burst out golden sentences such as "I started from a TV station where no one watched", "A company feels good about itself is a good thing", which caused ATV executives to shell ungrateful. Of course, after she left TV City, she also repeatedly attacked TVB.
