On April 19, some media reported the recent situation of Liu Jiang, an old drama bone, who has now decided to return to TVB and participate in the recording of the program with Wang Mingquan and others. However, after returning to TVB, he faced a dilemma, the monthly salary was reduced from 60,000 to 5,000 yuan, and the gap was indeed very large.
After seeing this news, netizens have been upset about Liu Jiang. Someone said: "How can 5,000 Hong Kong dollars live?" Another person said: "Not mean old actors, but mean all actors, actors' salaries are lower than the average salary of hk." "There are also people who complain that the monthly salary of five thousand is not as good as a field worker or a dishwasher
Now that Liu Jiang is 74 years old, he has starred in classic film and television drama works such as "Apostle Walker", "Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", "Tianlong Eight Parts", "Wash of Injustice" and other classic film and television dramas, and has also won the Best Actor Award at the Ten Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony. In January 2020, he chose not to renew his contract with TVB, and the top management did not let people participate in Taiqing.
In addition to Liu Jiang's salary, which makes people feel ridiculously low, netizens also broke the news that Ouyang Zhenhua was also facing the storm of being expelled from TVB. And he himself did not want to continue to sign the contract, it seems that because there are some contradictions in salary and resources, and finally because the senior leadership personally negotiated, the two sides reached a consensus.
Not only that, Li Rongjun, an actor who had filmed "Principal Tan" in "Love Home Only Happy Express", once revealed that TVB personnel called him, saying that he could retire, and after changing the new contract, it was only 300 Hong Kong dollars a month.
Some netizens said that She Shiman was only 60,000 a month, and even WANG Mingquan, a sister of TVB, shouted on the stage at the celebration some time ago, speaking for the artists, calling for a little extra salary for the actors on the stage.
The monthly salary from 60,000 to 5,000 is indeed difficult to accept, and I hope that TVB executives can treat Liu Jiang, Ouyang Zhenhua and other old drama bones kindly, and also look forward to them being able to shoot more good works.
