Because TVB was affected by the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong, not only did the artists infected the epidemic, but also at least 500 staff members were unfortunately diagnosed. This matter is not trivial, so from the end of February, TVB made an exception and completely stopped work for half a month, becoming the first time since TVB was founded. At present, various departments of TVB have resumed their work one after another, and a number of dramas have also started, including the drama "Light Gong" co-filmed by Li Yaoxiang and Zhu Chenli. After the impact of the previous epidemic, TVB is now very cautious about the epidemic, requiring all employees to do fast screening before starting work every day, and only negative can be allowed to start, just to block the epidemic prevention breach.
On April 1, the TVB drama "Light Gong" began filming as scheduled, before the start of filming, all actors had to do fast screening testing, and Jiang Zuman, who participated in the performance of this drama, also did fast screening as usual, and the result was a second hazy line, that is, positive, so it was judged to be a preliminary diagnosis. For safety reasons, the whole crew first stopped work for a day, all crew members tested, originally scheduled to start work on April 2, but TVB had some concerns, suspended the full shooting plan of this show, and this show just resumed work at the end of March, it was only a week.
Although the number of daily confirmed cases of the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong has shown a downward trend, the situation is still relatively grim, and many people do not know when and where they are infected, and even do not know that they are infected, because the asymptomatic people still account for the majority. For example, Jiang Zuman, in fact, she did not know when and where she was infected, so she went to work as usual on April 1 and did a quick screening test. What I want to say is that if Jiang Zuman knew that she was diagnosed, there were any symptoms of physical discomfort, she would not go to work, in fact, on the evening of March 31, Jiang Zuman was still filming in the play, and she also did not have any problems with testing on the same day, and she did not expect to be initially diagnosed the next day.
Regarding the reason for Jiang Zuman's diagnosis, it is really a bit strange, because after filming on March 31, she went home directly, and the next day she directly came to the TV City to start work, basically the TV City and the family two points and one line, so in the end it is infected in the TV City, or at home infected, this is probably difficult to trace back. Fortunately, Jiang Zuman has been vaccinated, so there are almost no symptoms, and it is believed that it will not pose a threat to her life, which is still more reassuring. However, Jiang Zuman also has a stepson and a daughter in his family, and if the two children are not vaccinated, the risks may be greater.
The 36-year-old Jiang Zuman only signed a manager contract with TVB in January 2022 and officially became an artist. Prior to this, Jiang Zuman participated in the performances of "Acts 2", "Acts 3", "Iron Detective" and "The Case against the Sky" in the form of a special contract, and cooperated well with TVB, so he continued to maintain a cooperative relationship. And Jiang Zuman did not sign a contract with TVB before, but also because she has been taking the route of independent development. In the early days of her debut, she shot a lot of independent films, achieved good results, was named Hong Kong's "independent film queen", and then was not limited to working in any one unit, but in recent years, she has cooperated closely with TVB, and has a tacit understanding with each other, Jiang Zuman also believes that it is feasible to develop in TVB, so he signed a manager contract. At present, Jiang Zuman has two dramas filming at the same time, including "Light Gong" and "Fa Yan Ren", of which the filming of "Fa Yan Ren" is nearing the end.
After Jiang Zuman's initial diagnosis, the impact on the filming work of the crew is only a small matter, and what worries TVB even more is that the actors and staff who shoot with her will be affected. Jiang Zuman's role in "Light Gong" is very heavy, and many major actors have opponents, including Li Yaoxiang, Zhu Chenli, Zhu Minhan, and on the evening of March 31, a group of people also filmed together. And these people who have had close contact with Jiang Zuman have also carried out fast screening and nucleic acid testing for the first time, all of which are negative.
Li Yaoxiang publicly stated on this matter that after receiving the news of Jiang Zuman's initial diagnosis, he had already done the test for the first time, and the result was negative. He was not worried about this, but more worried about Jiang Zuman, hoping that the other party would be fine and safe. In addition, Li Yaoxiang also said that TVB has stopped the factory for disinfection for the first time after learning about it, and there should be no big problem. Zhu Chenli also said that she had done nucleic acid testing, did not confirm the diagnosis, and returned to work after a day of rest, while stressing that she would strengthen protection and do enough safety measures in the future. As for Zhu Minhan, he also said that he did the test and there was no problem.
I believe that no one wants to be diagnosed, but the virus is too cunning, and sometimes it is invincible, just like Jiang Zuman. All that can be done is to be more careful, pay more attention, test more, and it is also good that TVB is now doing a more strict job of epidemic prevention, which is also to avoid the potential epidemic transmission chain, hoping that Jiang Zuman will recover as soon as possible and return to the crew to shoot.
