In our impression, acting should be a very glamorous profession, no matter how famous you are, as long as there are scenes to shoot, you will not fall to the point of having no money to eat
But there is such a person, when he was young, he was also a small green leaf actor in TVB, but in his later years he was extremely poor, not only to rely on social assistance to survive, even the death of his mother did not have money to organize a funeral, he is the 61-year-old Hong Kong actor Che Paul
Che Paul, who entered the show business circle because of his strange appearance, has also played many impressive roles, such as the fat head in Chen Xiaochun's "Deer Ding", Mr. Lü Qi's in Lin Jiadong's "Green Blood Sword", and the skinny tiger in Zhou Xingchi's "Death Judge" and so on
Although it is not as good as Wu Mengda Lin Xue's golden supporting roles, but when he was popular, he could also go to different crews to shoot dramas every day, in his own words, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to go to the bank to save money, and someone may ask when he said this, how did he fall to this point, in fact, there are no more than two reasons, one is the limitation of appearance, and the other is that young and vigorous love to make mistakes
People familiar with Car Paul know that he is not an actor from the class, when he entered the entertainment industry, it was purely a mistake to hit by mistake, Car Paul has a height of one meter and nine meters, but the body shape is very emaciated The face shape is also relatively long, and it is very strange to say that it is not good
However, for this reason, he was seen to enter the film and television circle as a "special actor", and in 1980 he starred in the first feature film "Type I Danger", playing the role of KO in the film, and then began his acting career
There are not many representative roles of Che Paul, and the most impressive is probably the "Deer Ding", the "fat head" who has become tall and thin because of eating the "Leopard Fetus I Ching Pill", with long gray hair and a thin figure, so that he can attract attention as soon as he appears in the play
Because this role is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Che Paul also won the opportunity to shoot Toshiba advertising, although those years are played in some small supporting roles, but he never arrogant, even if in a play can only appear for a few minutes of the picture, he will also seriously interpret his own characteristics, he once laughed at himself, can not do the most beautiful simply do the ugliest
But unfortunately, Che Paul is "into the shape, defeat also the appearance", even if he did the ugliest, or failed to change his increasingly limited drama path, in 2003 due to the strange appearance of the lack of performance opportunities, TVB and him after the appointment is not renewed
In fact, before the official termination of the contract, wireless also gave Paul a contract renewal, but the contract with an annual salary of 2,000 yuan was not a shame for him at that time, after all, this money was not enough to pull a tooth in Hong Kong
In fact, in addition to the limitations of the drama, there is another reason why he has no drama to shoot, that is, the integrity of The Car Paul himself, he revealed in an interview that he once took over a job outside the contract to earn money, and he also lied and deceived the company
In desperation, he began to break into the film circle alone, but because he could not afford to hire an assistant, he often made mistakes in filming time and released a large group of pigeons, so he finally lost his career
But even so, Che Paul, who has filmed a lot of film and television works in the early years, should have some savings, unfortunately, he lost all his money because of his good gambling, so he has to pay a lot of responsibility for today's situation
In those years, he worked as a security guard, porter, handyman and other different types of work, but he still could not make ends meet in terms of life, he also tried to turn around by entering politics, so he participated in the Yuen Long Feng Nian District Council election, and for this reason, he also specially invited 200 elderly people to drink tea in the restaurant to solicit votes, but unfortunately he lost with a dismal result of 90 votes
Paul, who was living harder and harder every day, even had to rely on social security assistance to survive, and when he was most helpless, he couldn't even get the funeral expenses for his mother's death, and finally it was with the donation of caring people that he successfully held a funeral for his mother
Before that, Car Paul also borrowed money from his previous friends, but the other party not only did not lend him, but also blocked his phone, for which Car Paul said that the entertainment industry is really cold
Later, after experiencing the ups and downs of life, he saw a lot of things, he no longer insisted on anything, just did every job steadily, to support his wife and children, Che Paul had two wives, the first wife was when he was 19 years old, the two had a daughter after marriage, but unfortunately this marriage did not last long before it ended
Later, in 1992, Che Paul married his current wife, for this wife, he has always felt guilty, because when the two married Che Paul had fallen, so even the wedding was not held at that time, and when his father-in-law and mother-in-law died, he did not attend because of work reasons, but his wife did not blame him because of these, but has always been inseparable from him, Che Paul said that his biggest wish is to buy a diamond ring for his wife, but as far as the current situation is concerned, he has not been able to do it
Now Che Paul in a street in Hong Kong as a market supervisor, in an interview he said that this is not a simple job, he not only has to manage the street traffic water pipe siltation The old man is missing, the thief pickpocket and other things, and even deal with the health problems in the public toilet, when it comes to this, The car Paul appears to be generous, and does not feel inferior because of his work, but feels that his current life is ordinary but at ease
Even if he talked about his experience of being tricked into going to Japan to make a film and resisting and being beaten, he only faced it calmly, it is said that the person who cheated on him was still a Japanese martial arts actor that Jackie Chan liked very much, but things have passed, and Che Bao cares
About his latest developments, probably in 2019 for participating in the short film "The Old Man and the Dog", he was nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Taipei Film Festival, although in the end there was no award, but for Che Paul, it was already a win
Life is more or less like this, always have to experience something to grow, from civilians to stars and then from stars back to civilians, after going around, Paul Che finally understood the true meaning of life, I hope that after that he is healthy, as soon as possible to realize the wish to buy a diamond ring for his wife
