On April 6, Hong Kong media broke the news that Ge Minhui, a well-known green-leaf actor known as "Zhou Xingchi's successor", was forced to move out of his own mansion and temporarily live with his family in the hotel due to income problems.
With this move, Ge Minhui's recent photos were also exposed by the media. It can be seen that Ge Minhui has a round inch, but the hairline is much higher. The wrinkles and eye bags on the face are very obvious, and it looks tired and old.
Ge Minhui's previously rented mansion in Repulse Bay, with a monthly rent of HK$130,000 (about 110,000 yuan) alone. Last month, Ge Minhui revealed to the media that his company had zero income for two years, but he would rather take money out to subsidize employees' salaries than lay off employees or reduce wages.
On the day of the move, Ge Minhui's wife and son were also exposed. The family is dressed relatively simply and plainly, and most of the moving luggage is packed in snakeskin bags and carried by the hotel's luggage truck, which looks very grounded.
Ge Minhui was previously known as Stephen Chow's successor, and filmed many funny film and television works such as "Counting Dead Grass", "Buying Murder and Shooting People", "Hong Kong 囧" and so on, leaving a deep impression on the audience with exaggerated expressions and body language.
But in January this year, Ge Minhui revealed the process of filming "Counting Dead Grass" with Stephen Chow in an interview with the media, saying that he was only a foil for Stephen Chow and did not dare to compete with Stephen Chow for his funny skills.
In fact, Ge Minhui was a well-known DJ before filming as an actor. As early as 1988, he began to work on radio stations, and together with Lin Haifeng formed the combination of "Soft and Hard Heavenly Masters", and soon won awards such as "Favorite TV Artist", which was very popular.
Not only that, as early as 1997, he began to represent Japanese fashion brand clothing, many years earlier than Chen Guanxi, Yu Wenle and others, and because of this, he was regarded as one of the early representatives of the Hong Kong trend industry, and many media even called him the godfather of Hong Kong trend.
Because of this, Ge Minhui made a lot of money, and there was a program to ask experts to analyze the watches he wore, and found that the two watches he wore were antique models of luxury brands, adding up to a value of more than 1 million yuan.
Subsequently, Ge Minhui also created his own brand, and with his previous connections and influence, he obtained the joint authorization of many trendy big names.
At the end of 2012, Ge Minhui and singer Zhang Zhenyue jointly opened a chao brand physical store, and invited stars such as hot dogs to come to the platform to further expand his career.
And now in addition to worrying about business, he still insists on shining in the film and television circle. Not long ago, he posted a photo of the field note board and posted an article expressing his support for Hong Kong films.
Although for most netizens, Ge Minhui's identity is only a green leaf supporting role, in fact, he has done a lot of things related to his interests, and has been working hard for it, and has also been affirmed by many people in the industry. Although there is a little setback in the current career, after all these years of operation, I believe that he will be able to regroup and turn his career upside down.
