The development of Hong Kong artists to the mainland has long become the trend of the times, especially under the influence of the epidemic in the past two years, the workload in Hong Kong has dropped sharply, which directly affects the problem of income and livelihood. However, there are still some Hong Kong artists who insist on staying in the base camp, they do not want to go north to make money, but there are families in Hong Kong, they can't leave for a while and a half, and they can't go away, and they can't go away, such as the 57-year-old TVB artist Cao Yonglian, with his personal conditions, if he develops in the mainland, it will be very popular, but because the two children are minors, he can't give up his children, he can't give up his family, so he has always insisted on developing in Hong Kong.
However, said not to leave, and finally had to leave, Cao Yonglian said in a recent interview that the development of Hong Kong in the past two years, affected by the epidemic, in addition to relying on the income from filming, other income is almost zero, basically relying on eating the old to live, personal income is at least 70% less than before. Although there is no problem in life at present, but it is not a way to go on for a long time, after thinking about it, I finally decided to start the pace of development in the north, and this time I have to go to at least half a year, and now I have asked my friends to help find a place to live in Guangzhou and prepare for the north.
While Cao Yonglian discloses his personal status, it is also equivalent to disclosing the income status of artists who are now developing in TVB. In the development of TVB, if you only rely on filming is not to make money, not to mention making a lot of money, that is, life may be difficult to guarantee, like Cao Yonglian, who has served in TVB for decades, the status quo is the same, not to mention those new generation of artists. What TVB can give artists is only a platform to make a personal reputation, and ultimately rely on advertising and additional work income to help make ends meet.
Cao Yonglian is not a first-line artist in TVB, although his hardware conditions are good, he has acting skills, has connotations, and his appearance is also very handsome, the 57-year-old looks ten years younger than the actual, the state is very good, but in TVB has been almost 30 years, always in the position of the second line. Once rumored to have the opportunity to serve as the male number one of the main drama, unfortunately it is only "passed", in fact, the final drama began filming, Cao Yonglian is still the male number two, and over time it has been named "Millennium Male Second", which Cao Yonglian does not think so, and is quite satisfied and enjoys the current situation.
Cao Yonglian has been in TVB for many years to be the second male, but the development is still quite strong. Since he won TVB's "Best Supporting Actor" in 2016, he once became the darling of advertisers, and has been invited to work outside of filming, helping his development and income, so over the years, he has not developed north, and even rarely worked in the mainland, relying on work in Hong Kong can still support the whole family and live a worry-free life, of course, this is also before the epidemic.
After the epidemic, Cao Yonglian's situation has changed greatly, although there are still works in TVB that have come out one after another and have the opportunity to participate in the filming of new dramas, but there are fewer and fewer other jobs. The reality is that Hong Kong has been hit by the epidemic, advertisers and customers have also tightened their personal budgets, not to mention second-tier artists like Cao Yonglian, that is, the income of many first-line artists has also dropped sharply, and this situation has lasted for two years. If Cao Yonglian is single, he may be able to barely support himself, but Cao Yonglian has a family and children, one of the children is underage, he alone to support the whole family pressure is naturally not small, the pure income of these two years is only TVB income, other advertising and other extra work income is almost zero, there is no opportunity to take other jobs, compared with the past peak period of income, the overall income is 70% lower.
Under such circumstances, Cao Yonglian had to rethink his development direction, because in the past he refused to work in the mainland, but now he also had to work in the mainland because of his family, after all, only the mainland has stable jobs and a better income. At present, he has made preparations, originally planned to leave in March, this trip will stay in the mainland for at least half a year, and he has already found a house in Guangzhou for a long time. However, the plan is not as fast as the change, Cao Yonglian is still filming "Breaking The Poison Strongman" for TVB, and this drama was originally going to be completed in March, but unfortunately affected by the epidemic in Hong Kong, the filming progress is relatively slow now, and it seems that it cannot catch up with his plan. In addition, what is more difficult is that now to Guangdong isolation, tickets, hotels are quite difficult to find, completely unable to say go, thus creating difficulties for Cao Yonglian to develop north.
Looking back, Cao Yonglian is actually quite popular in the mainland, especially in the Greater Bay Area, after all, his performance in TVB for so many years is still remarkable, many of the roles he has played are very popular, plus he is friendly and affinity, the three views are also correct, and he does not worry about the opportunity to work after developing in the north. In fact, before he set off, there were already mainland advertisers who came to him to endorse him, which made him overjoyed and doubly confident in the development of the north. Cao Yonglian frankly said that he would seize the opportunity of development in the north, and would face it with an optimistic attitude, hoping to make good results.
