In recent years, with the decline of the Hong Kong circle, there has been a lot of news about the decline of Hong Kong artists. But in fact, there are still some Hong Kong artists who have come to the mainland with their foresight and hard work to make a new career, and many Hong Kong artists have not had the previous scenery on the surface, but they have made a lot of money in the mainland and lived a very rich life.
In recent years, the development of the mainland entertainment industry is very rapid, when a star is popular, the film remuneration can reach millions of dollars per day, even if a non-first-line artist like Mao Xiaotong, 3 years ago, the salary for shooting a web drama has reached tens of millions.
These Hong Kong artists who have come to the mainland to develop well can probably be divided into three ways to make money. The first is to eat the dividends of the mainland entertainment industry by integrating into the mainland entertainment circle. The second is to take advantage of the popularity of his works when he was young and make money through the live broadcast of various commercial performances, and the third is to do business in the mainland.
At present, the Hong Kong artists who are really mixed well in the mainland entertainment circle are Cecilia Cheung, Cai Shaofen, She Shiman and Wang Zulan. Wang Zulan specializes in variety shows, She Shiman specializes in film and television circles, and Cecilia Cheung and Cai Shaofen have also focused on variety shows recently. Wang Zulan said in The Venus program that the money he earns in the mainland is N times that of Hong Kong, which is incalculable.
Wang Zulan has been developing in the mainland for several years, and his estimated net worth has reached 200 million. This year, Wang Zulan decided to return to TVB as a senior executive, and the media estimated that Wang Zulan would lose 100 million yuan in remuneration in the mainland, which shows how high Wang Zulan's value was in the mainland.
She Shiman and Cai Shaofen have successfully integrated into the mainland entertainment circle by filming the mainland drama fire, according to previous entertainment reports, She Shiman's film remuneration in Hong Kong is 65,000 per episode, and the ribbon cutting is only 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.
However, in the past few years of development in the mainland, she now has 4 properties worth 140 million.
Cai Shaofen's previous film salary was only 100,000 episodes, but after the fire of "The Biography of Zhen Huan", her film remuneration rose to 200,000 episodes.
In 2016, there were more reports that Cai Shaofen's remuneration for mainland dramas had risen to 400,000 episodes, and the value of commercial performances was more than 500,000, which was difficult to achieve even if she was a popular first-line artist in Hong Kong.
According to media statistics, Cai Shaofen now has 9 houses, with a total value of over 100 million, and is a proper billionaire.
Cecilia Cheung, who has hardly filmed in recent years, has also made a lot of money by participating in variety shows and endorsements in the mainland. According to media reports, Cecilia Cheung has received 3 endorsements and 7 advertisements this year because of her participation in "Sister Lang 2", and has made 50 million yuan in the mainland in half a year, which can be said to be an easy annual income of 100 million.
Cecilia Cheung also revealed earlier in the program that she has houses in Shanghai and Beijing, and the total value of the two luxury houses is 200 million.
For Hong Kong artists, the opportunities for the development of the mainland are both many and diversified, and if they do not want to develop in film and television variety shows, they can choose to participate in various commercial performances, live broadcasts and other ways to make money, especially commercial performances have become the best choice for many Hong Kong artists, although the surface does not seem to be beautiful, but the remuneration is not low.
Like Zhong Zhentao, Tan Yonglin, Wu Qihua, Luo Jialiang have all appeared in small commercial performances in the mainland, some netizens feel that these once popular Hong Kong artists are too cheap, but in fact, they have made a lot of money in the mainland in recent years. Wu Qihua, who wants to come to the mainland for many years, once revealed that he spends millions of dollars to buy clothes every year, and he likes to collect famous watches, and he has 40 famous watches at home, some of which are still sold at a speculative price, and the most expensive one is worth 800,000 yuan.
Recently, the media also broke the news that Wu Qihua bought a 300-square-meter mansion in Zhongshan, estimated to be worth 6 million. In the past few years, Wu Qihua's frequency of appearing in film and television dramas has been very low, and he can live such a rich life, which shows that he still makes a lot of money in mainland commercial performances.
Zhong Zhentao bought a house in Shanghai, and from the inside of the house, it seems to be a luxury house.
Even if it is some unknown supporting roles of TVB, the remuneration for commercial performances in the mainland is quite large. For example, Li Lizhi once broke the news that Zheng Shufeng, a 66-year-old TVB "royal villain", could get tens of thousands of yuan for a performance in the mainland after being introduced by a friend.
Another TVB supporting actor, Cheng Ka-sang, can get a 6-figure remuneration for a performance in the mainland, at least 100,000 yuan. According to their coffee spots in Hong Kong, they will never get this price point.
For Hong Kong artists like Cheng Ka-sang and Zheng Shufeng, who are not popular and well-known enough, it is indeed not easy to "get ahead" in the mainland entertainment industry, plus many of them are not young, and choosing to pick up some small commercial performances is actually the wisest choice.
However, there are also some artists who come to the mainland to develop not in the entertainment industry, but in "entrepreneurship", such as 64-year-old Lu Liangwei, who is an invisible rich man in the mainland. Recently, Lu Liangwei posted a video of himself visiting Inner Mongolia, once again lamenting that the male god's figure state is too good.
However, compared with Lu Liangwei's figure, netizens are more concerned about the red watch he wears on his wrist. It is reported that this watch is from a high-end brand, there is a "billionaire admission ticket" alias, there are different colors, each worth 21 million, you can buy a suite in Shanghai, Wang Sicong has one.
Although Lu Liangwei is an artist, he stopped filming a long time ago, but came to the mainland to do business. The company started by Lu Liangwei mainly makes taxi GPS products, and the main market of his company's products is also in the mainland. Half of the 40,000 taxis in Shanghai are made of his company's products, and more than 60,000 taxis in Beijing are all handed over to him.
"Pomegranate Sister" Yuan Qiongdan is also one of the earliest Hong Kong artists to develop in the mainland, she not only filmed variety shows, but also started the catering industry in the mainland, and now she is a small rich woman with a net worth of over 100 million.
Mak Also opened a restaurant in Shunde, and now has been developing in the mainland all year round, often gathering with a group of Hong Kong artists who have developed in Guangdong.
Hong Kong's entertainment industry has developed and declined in recent years, for many star artists, the opportunities in the mainland are now developing well, whether it is to continue to mix the entertainment industry or change business, or even to find a job to do, I believe it will not be worse than Hong Kong. Therefore, more and more Hong Kong artists are slowly choosing to develop in the mainland, but to develop well in the mainland, it is also up to their own strength.
Some Hong Kong artists are very optimistic about the future development of the mainland, such as Cecilia Cheung and Ying Cai'er, who want their children to come to the mainland to study, and it seems that they seriously want to stay in the mainland. In fact, as long as it is down-to-earth work, capable star artists are welcome anywhere.
