The rise and fall of TVB has always been one of the topics discussed in the entertainment industry for a long time. Entering 2020, driven by the interests of the capital market, today's Hong Kong dramas are no longer in their glory, and actors have shown a clear trend of green and yellow.
Looking back at these decades, regardless of the protagonist's supporting role, there are always people who earn a lot of money, and some people are middle-aged and homeless.
Many of the TVB old drama bones that we are familiar with but can't call out have chosen to silently retire from the entertainment circle in recent years and no longer appear in front of the screen, just like the most personable "Yin Liting" in Jin Yong's drama - Mo Jiayao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > classic Hong Kong drama face</h1>
In the 1990s, Mok was one of the most classic Hong Kong drama faces active in TVB dramas, accompanying the growth of a generation.
This perennial "green leaf" is also born in the class, graduated from the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, and belongs to the early actors who only focused on polishing their acting skills, did not hype, and had no scandals. His work, acting skills, word of mouth are all good.
Mo Jiayao originally debuted from ATV and received a lot of praise from the beginning.
With good looks and ability, he has the opportunity to play the male lead in many TV series, such as "Point To Solve Asir", "Proud Sword Supreme", "Electrocution Love" and so on, and is a popular student of ATV.
In 1996, Mo Jiayao crossed the file to TVB and filmed a series of good dramas such as "Journey to the West", "Dragon Slayer in the Sky", "Regeneration Edge", "Peerless Good Dad" and so on, but most of them were foil roles, and most of the supporting roles were still relatively dark.
The most well-known role in TVB is Yin Liting, played in the 2000 version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon".
Whether it is dressing or acting, his elegant demeanor has vividly interpreted the wind and bones of a generation of heroes, and no one can surpass his version after repeated remakes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > bad luck, many years of supporting roles have not emerged</h1>
Also debuted on ATV, Chen Jinhong, who originally matched him, became the protagonist after coming to TVB.
In the same "Criminal Investigation File 4", Mo Jiayao was arranged to participate in episode 25, mainly to foil Chen Jinhong.
This kind of treatment is simply very different.
Single-minded acting, no development, although there is a problem of luck, TVB also has an unwritten rule, for atelecta actors generally do not have much praise.
Chen Jinhong is lucky enough that Xu Wenbiao in Genesis alone can never stand.
Although Mo Jiayao has also worked diligently for many years, in the end, he still does not have the luck of Chen Jinhong, but he has taken a completely different star path.
After filming "There is a Mystery in the Heart of the Mind", Mo Jiayao officially retired.
However, he still maintained close contact with Zheng Jiaying, Tang Wenlong and Cao Yonglian's friends in the entertainment industry.
A few years ago, when attending the launch of the stage play "Her Mother's Funeral", he said that he still liked acting, but completely gave up the profession of actor.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > switch to inheriting the family business</h1>
TVB is known for its low salary, and many artists have been acting for many years and cannot even afford to pay a down payment for a house.
However, even if Mo Jiayao withdraws, it has no impact, and he can directly inherit the family's electronic company and properly overbearing president.
Every time the media photographed him, he went out with his parents, girlfriend, nephew and family, and was a very family-oriented and gentle person.
In the early years, Hong Kong media also broke the news that he had a special relationship with singer Wang Jie, in fact, his sister was Wang Jie's second wife, and only maintained a marriage for 4 years.
Mo Jiayao just helped his brother-in-law shoot a MV, and the Hong Kong media started to sensationalize the headline, which is really a good hand.
In addition, he also has a younger brother who is a traffic policeman, who died suddenly in 2015 because of illness at work, which caused a lot of impact on Mo Jiayao, so he retired while taking care of the family business, and also paid great attention to enjoying life.
Now that he is in his 50s, he is in good shape and cannot see his real age at all.
In fact, like Mo Jiayao, who finally chose to leave the nest after years of struggle at TVB, it is not a way out to develop the family business.
Over the years, when he has some free time, he also rides with "Ling Fox Chong" Lu Songxian, but the fans of Hong Kong dramas are still looking forward to seeing the two heroes appear on the screen again one day?
