In recent years, the loss of TVB artists has been serious, in fact, it can be summed up for two reasons, the first is that artists want to seek better development, and the second is that the work is too hard.
TVB's strict requirements and management of its artists have created a large number of excellent actors, but some systems have also made many artists bitter, such as the problem of "long filming time".
Recently, the 87-year-old TVB drama bone Roland revealed in an interview that the 87-year-old still insists on filming until two or three o'clock in the morning, although TVB has tried its best to arrange for the older artists to shoot first, but it is necessary to shoot until two o'clock in the morning.
Former TVB producer Yang Shaolie once "denounced" the TVB filming system for being inhumane to a bunch of "green leaf" supporting roles, and did not respect these old supporting artists. He said he had advised the 87-year-old Roland not to work so hard, not to take on the late night work, sometimes she finished filming until two or three in the morning, and then worked at 7 o'clock the next day, and there was no car to pick her up.
Earlier artist Yang Zuna shared a video of a group of artists filming late at night, it was already 12 o'clock at night, and there was 89-year-old Hu Feng insisting on shooting a "dinner" scene, and his expression was sluggish and looked very mentally bad.
Some netizens feel that although staying up late to shoot dramas is not a rare thing in the entertainment industry, for old artists like Roland and Hu Feng, TVB should not think more about their health.
Therefore, some tvB veteran artists choose to leave because it is too hard. For example, TVB's famous "adulterous corner" Luo Yingjun chose to leave TVB in 2011, and he also said that he used to shoot for 70 hours in TVB, during which he could only go home and take a shower, and did not dare to sleep at all.
Zhang Zhilin, who was born in TVB, later said in an interview with a serious face that TVB's announcement is really inhuman.
It turned out that Zhang Zhilin and Zhu Yin, during the filming of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", filmed for 7 consecutive days until 5 a.m. before finishing work, and then went home to take a shower, and at 7 o'clock in the morning they continued to shoot, and they slept in TVB almost every day.
On the 7th day, his body finally "stayed up" a little, and during the drive, he said that in order not to let himself fall asleep, he also opened the windows of the car to let himself blow strong winds, but he still wanted to sleep, and finally drove a car accident because of fatigue.
"Staying up late to shoot dramas" is not unique in TVB, and even popular artists have no privileges. Before Zhou Haimei on Li Jing's "Very Quiet Distance", Li Jing said that she interviewed TVB artists, and the highest record of filming for 24 hours a day was 20 hours, and almost every artist would go through such a stage.
Zhou Haimei revealed that the craziest record she had ever tried was that she had not slept for 4 consecutive days and 4 nights, and on the third day, she felt that her person was floating.
Cai Shaofen, who is from Hong Kong, also said that she often worked up to 21 hours a day at TVB, shooting from 6 a.m. to 3 a.m., in order to save time and make her own makeup and hair.
TVB former Hua Dan Guo Xianni described filming in TVB as "tired to vomit", she said that filming in TVB is not a rule on how long to shoot, so often shoot all day long.
She tried not to sleep for three days, and at that time she had no idea what she was talking about, and only thought about acting, but sometimes she was so tired that she couldn't remember the dialogue well.
She said she would get seriously ill every time she finished filming.
AFTER TVB's "third emperor" Lai Yiu-hsiang came to the mainland to develop, he said that he had not slept in bed for 5 days before filming in Hong Kong.
After he came to the mainland, he found that the system of filming in the mainland is relatively perfect, and the working time arrangement of the artists will be more "humane", and the working hours per day are 10 to 12 hours, which will not make the artists feel very hard.
Therefore, Li Yaoxiang, 57 years old this year, without lack of money, began to settle in the mainland with his wife at the beginning of last year, and also bought a house in Zhongshan and lived a leisurely life.
In addition to the long filming time, more and more artists left TVB in the later stage, which also had little to do with the low treatment and development space given by TVB to artists.
Cai Shaofen said that she had already won the third place of Hong Kong sister, but she filmed a set of scenes in TVB, and she could only get 500 yuan for an episode, if this drama is 20 episodes, she can only take 20,000 yuan after filming a drama, but her daily filming time is 21 hours.
Wu Zhenyu directly told the reason why he left TVB and ran to make a movie that year, that is, the salary at TVB was low. He said that he himself had been mixed into a more famous position on TVB, that is, the kind that could walk to the front row to show his face when He was in Taiqing, but his income could not support his daily expenses.
Because an artist is famous, his various expenses will also become larger, he will no longer do buses, wear clothes may have to buy famous brands, and TVB can give artists limited wages, so Wu Zhenyu still chose to leave TVB.
TVB's once most beautiful TV emperor Luo Jialiang, who has come to the mainland for many years to develop, was exposed to be less than the income of TVB filming for 20 years.
Hong Kong Entertainment Has exposed that TVB first-line actress Charmaine She's income from cutting a lottery in Hong Kong is also 20,000 yuan.
However, many Hong Kong artists who have been in the past have a commercial performance in the mainland for a performance fee of up to 100,000 yuan.
In TVB, first-line artists film hard, but the salary is still enough to live, tragic is some old supporting roles, although TVB development is not as good as before, some supporting roles that have served TVB for more than ten or twenty years have become the first batch of "sacrificed" objects.
Old artists like Yu Ziming and Liu Jiang, although not protagonists, have created many classic roles. But when they were in their 70s, TVB kept letting them reduce production, and Yu Ziming said that he could only receive one notice a year, and he could only get more than a thousand yuan a year, which was not enough for basic life.
Liu Jiang's monthly salary has been reduced from 15,000 yuan to only 7500 yuan, and it is difficult to maintain daily expenses in Hong Kong. So Liu Jiang, who is already 75 years old, still insists on leaving TVB.
TVB was complained that "not humane enough" is not an overnight thing, and TVB, which was once able to "cover the sky with one hand" in the Hong Kong circle, has gradually declined, both its own problems and the helplessness of the times, after all, for today's TVB, it is impossible to retain talents.
But on the other hand, the memories that TVB once brought to the audience are indelible, it has trained and created a batch of excellent actors, like the "artist training class" that TVB once founded, and its training and strict requirements for artists are worth learning.
For Hong Kong artists, both the development opportunities and working conditions in the mainland are relatively much better, so it is not difficult to understand why a batch of Hong Kong artists have developed and settled in the mainland. And TVB, which once had unlimited scenery, with the withdrawal of these artists, can only become a generation of memories of the audience.
