In recent years, the development momentum of Hong Kong stars is insufficient, and compared with the booming internal entertainment stars, the treatment of Hong Kong stars is much worse, and some actors are even unemployed, and they have to engage in different industries to supplement their families.
Wang Mingquan once shouted at the TVB awards ceremony that "if the environment is better, can you give us a little extra salary" As soon as the words came out, the actors behind them applauded and praised.
The reason why the actors have such a move is because the salary is too low, many actors seem to be beautiful but only take four or five figures of salary, and even some first-line stars only get 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode of the TV series, compared with the mainland, so in recent years many Hong Kong stars began to develop towards the mainland.
1. Yang Qi is a security guard
In 2021, Yang Qi turned into a security guard and became a hot search, and also received 150 million reads.
She is Zhang Aijia's beloved disciple, also the sister of Rene Liu, and also the spokesperson of Sprite, and there are several works that can be mastered, such as "Uneven Soul", "20 30 40" and "Midsummer Lightyear".
Even so, the once-famous actress could not get a job and had to change jobs to make a living.
For Hong Kong actors, acting is just a profession, and like thousands of jobs, there is no difference.
When they are not actors, they can always devote themselves to the next job.
During the epidemic period, Yang Qi lost her job as an actor, and in order to live, she chose to be a security guard.
In the interview, she said that "when the security guards came into contact with people from different classes, they also changed their routines."
Many people think that Yang Qi is a bit overkill as a security guard, but in such an economic situation, Yang Qi has no choice.
Who would have thought that Yang Qi, who had been nominated for the Golden Horse and golden statue for best supporting actress, was willing to give up his role as an actor and do a very ordinary job.
And if you think about it, she is just for life, although it will be lamented by the outside world, but her courage and effort are admirable.
Just be yourself, why care what other people think.
2, car Paul as a security guard
I remember that many celebrities said in interviews that if they don't do the profession of actor, they really don't know what to do, and some stars say that they can open a restaurant and make the food they like to eat, but the restaurant also needs investment, which is a risky action for some Hong Kong stars with empty wallets.
Che Paul has played many supporting roles, because of his appearance but his appearance is discerning, so he often plays some marginal characters, so he is also familiar with a face.
However, later, with the decline of Hong Kong dramas, Che Paul also lost the opportunity to perform, and had to work as a security guard and handyman, although the salary was not high, at least he could mix with food and clothing.
I thought that although such a life was poor, I could barely get by, but the death of my mother broke this balance.
Because the burial fee is expensive, Che Paul had to ask for crowdfunding, and finally raised 70,000 yuan, with this money, it was difficult to arrange the aftermath of his mother, which is why Che Paul was called the most miserable Hong Kong star by netizens.
3. Chen Jianfeng as a diving instructor
Chen Jianfeng has starred in many works in the mainland, and many well-known actors such as Lin Xinru and Wang Likun have starred in "Beauty and The Heart", which has been well received, and has also opened up the development road of the mainland with this work.
Chen Jianfeng quietly withdrew from the circle in 2016, and there was no more work, when he was not yet 40 years old, he was examined for cerebrovascular defects, which would be risky.
Under such circumstances, Chen Jianfeng's mental state is getting worse and worse, and he even wants to end his life, but he thinks of his family or a strong life.
Taking advantage of the good years, he gave up his work in the entertainment industry.
Then Chen Jianfeng changed diving from a hobby to a profession, thinking that he would be a diving instructor in a stable place, but who thought that he would fall into a dispute because of the drowning of the trainees.
For a long time, Chen Jianfeng chose to avoid the public, lived in simplicity, and appeared in front of the public again, he was only 43 years old and had a lot of blessings, and he no longer had the heroic posture of his youth.
Looking at Huang Zongze and Wu Zhuoxi, who are still developing in the entertainment industry of the same age, they are still young and handsome, and they have to leave a sigh when they see such a gap.

Later, he successively filmed some supporting roles, and encountered the TVB depression period, because the savings were too small to provide a good life for the children, and he and his wife agreed to "Dink"
After semi-quitting TVB, Ao Jianian did a lot of work, live selling fishing gear, delivering takeaways...
During the delivery of takeaways, Ao Jianian saw the "fellow" takeaway workers fall, and immediately went to help the car, although it was a very small thing, he was willing to help, and lamented that delivering takeaways on rainy days was indeed risky, but since he had become one of them, he had to work hard.

I thought I could sign another company, but because of the TV station problem of that company, Chen Siqi was once again unemployed.
After losing his job, Chen Siqi began to take care of his mother with pain, and he also studied massage specifically.
Later, he became a masseuse, and this life lasted for eight years, and Chen Siqi was re-invited to star in the work "In the Darkness" starring Guo Xianni.

But when someone found Out in 2016 that Li Zhongning was working as a security guard in a building in Hong Kong, passers-by were surprised, thinking that he would make a fortune abroad, and who wanted to return to his hometown.
Li Zhongning, who is already in his sixties, suffered from initial cerebral degeneration, and after the media learned about it, he was arranged to work as a security guard near the mansion, and the environment was improved to a certain extent.
Facing the camera, Li Zhongning did not have the slightest sense of job gap, and frankly said that "respecting every type of work, the important thing is to be willing to do it"
Such an optimistic attitude is not a kind of frankness.
8. Jianghua sells insurance
He was once a Tang monk in "Journey to the West", but he sold insurance in middle age, and Jiang Hua's works continued to be popular in those years.
At that time, Jiang Hua, who was married, and Deng Cuiwen of "I Have a Date with Spring" had a scandal, and Deng Cuiwen was tried by Jiang Hua and his wife and media audiences, and her career was damaged.
And Jiang Hua has almost no influence, and after the accident, he still starred in many popular works such as "Green Blood Sword", "Searching for Qin", "Ninth Five-Year Supreme" and so on.

Jet Li and his sister Huang Qiuyan grew up together, both of them are martial arts stars, Huang Qiuyan looks beautiful, and when they reach the marriageable age, the two naturally get married and have children.

But Huang Qiuyan is very generous, she learned that her husband has fallen in love with someone else, and decisively withdrew.
In order to distract themselves from them Huang Qiuyan took her children to live abroad, when Zheng Mingming reached out to help Huang Qiuyan to manage her beauty salon, huang Qiuyan felt inappropriate and took the initiative to become an ordinary beautician for ten years.
After saving a sum of money, Huang Qiuyan chose to open a barber shop, and her life was much richer than before.
For the older generation of artists, not to be an actor, they will do different professions, regardless of the level of occupation, all treated equally, this spirit is touching.
"Head above the sky, feet on the ground" Life is difficult, but don't give up.
