Not all artists are Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Gu Tianle and other Uranus superstars who do not worry about their livelihood; not all stars are Yang Mi, Yang Ying, Zhao Liying and other money-making elites in your circle. The "rule of two and eight" in the entertainment industry determines that the people who make money are the few we can know, and the majority that does not make money is the majority that we can't see.
Most of the fallen artists do not even have the opportunity to cry and eat milk, the media rarely reports on them, netizens rarely pay attention to them, like the Entertainment Circle in Hong Kong only treats artists as a job, and people have long been surprised by this.
Recently, Hong Kong media reported the recent situation of "Crystal Girl" Leung Min-yee - no work, turning to selling cakes!
At first, the pickpocket sister was just like you in front of the screen, stunned.
A 45-year-old female star to change careers as a waitress?
A notoriously sexy Miss Hong Kong selling cakes?
A veteran actor who has participated in many film and television dramas such as "Flying Dragon Regeneration", "Thousand Chance Changes", "Baby Plan", "Money Empire" and other film and television dramas, and has cooperated with Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Wu Yanzu, Ren Dahua, Zheng Yijian and many other big coffee, why is it so depressed?
But the reality is so realistic, sometimes in order to survive and live, we not only have to bow our heads, but also have to bend over.
When the pickpocket sister used this incident as a "guide" to uncover the truth about the survival of ordinary Hong Kong artists "like ants", she found that when she was a security guard, set up a stall, delivered takeaways, drove a bus, worked as a waiter... It has become the "last survival fortress" for many people!
A few days ago, the news that 36-year-old Hong Kong female star Yang Qi was a security guard did not go away, and the entertainment circle was in an uproar.
Many small partners may not be familiar with this female star, but when it comes to Zhang Aijia, everyone must know - Yang Qi and Li Xinjie and Liu Reuying are brothers and sisters of the same disciple, and they are also one of Zhang Aijia's beloved disciples.
Yang Qi came from the advertising industry and once served as a spokesperson for Sprite; he entered the film and television industry, participating in the first film "Soul Uneven" and was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and has since won numerous awards in the Chinese film industry.
But most of Yang Qi's performances are popular literary and art films, plus she is low-key, no work to eat, to be a security guard is easy to understand.
Do you think celebrities turning into security guards is just an isolated case? One of the "Ten Stars of the Galaxy" in the past, he debuted at the same time as Aaron Kwok and Qiu Shuzhen, and Li Zhongning, who was once as famous as Liang Chaowei, has been a security guard for many years.
Whenever the media and netizens go to ridicule and ridicule him, Li Zhongning will helplessly reply: "Before he was an actor, now he is a security guard, is there any problem?" ”
Zhang Songzhi, who left TVB last year, wanted to be a security guard.
Compared with the "high threshold" of security, delivering takeaway has become a way for many Hong Kong artists to solve their urgent needs.
After the news that TVB Xiaosheng Ao Jianian made 13,000 yuan in two weeks of delivering takeaways was exposed a few years ago, it caused many people to be red-eyed.
"Mr. Asia" Huang Junfeng because of three children to raise, mortgage to provide, this veteran actor who has starred in "Apostle Walker", "Sweeping Drugs", "Chasing The Dragon" and other movies, put down his body, went to a restaurant to become a part-time delivery man;
The new generation of singer An Junhao is more than several jobs, not only part-time delivery of takeaways, he also part-time handing out flyers, as a fitness coach;
TVB's artist Wang Zhidi couldn't bear it after taking several month's salaries in succession and became a takeaway in a pork shop.
We can just give a few examples to see that the work of contributing to the work has always been an effective means for Hong Kong's fallen artists to solve their urgent needs.
Mo Jiagan and Chen Guofeng both lost heavily due to investment failures. The two men discussed and went directly to the construction site to work part-time as a porter.
Although the daily salary of 900 yuan can not get rich, but at the same time, you can also subsidize the family, why not enjoy it?
Also contributing to the work of making money are Zhao Lexian and You Biao, the former as a decoration worker, the latter as a formaldehyde worker.
Guan Haishan's second son, Guan Cong, as a veteran "costume male god", with "Xiao Li Fei Dao", "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Xiao ShiYilang", "Tianlong Eight Parts", "Absolute Double Pride", "Hero Without Tears" and many other film and television works accumulated wealth and went to the sea to do business, but after the failure of business, he was accused of fraud and went to prison, and after being released from prison, he set up a stall at the back door of the supermarket and barely lived.
Yuan Fuhua, an old drama bone, just won the award for the movie "Hand Rolled Cigarette", and turned around to become a dishwasher.
Someone asked him why he did this, and Yuan Fuhua said helplessly: "It has been three years, and I have received this drama, and the remuneration is not enough to eat for three months." ”
Do you think the dishwashers are easy to do? Yuan Fuhua complained while doing it, and the boss directly dismissed him on the grounds that the color of his overalls was wrong.
Mai Changqing, who also failed in business, sighed: "Before, I was never afraid to find a bite of rice to eat, if you are willing to do it, there must be a way out." But for some reason, lately I've felt that you may not have a job if you're willing to do it. ”
Netizens hurt him and comforted him: "Sell fish with me!" ”
You don't have to say that there are really Hong Kong actors who have changed careers to sell fish.
Huang Wenbiao, an old drama bone who had cooperated with Gu Tianle in the TV series "Looking for Qin", broke up because his 24-year-old girlfriend thought he was poor, and turned to sell fish. After Gu Tianle heard about it, he quickly persuaded him to come back - the two brothers starred in the movie version of "Looking for Qin" together!
Wu Weile, who looked like Nicholas Tse, who had been suffering for many years on TVB and saw no hope, changed careers and drove a bus.
After watching the "survival fortress" of these 18 Hong Kong down-and-out artists, how do you feel?
In addition to the pickpocket sister's sigh, it is more touching.
They are a group of people abandoned by the times and forgotten by people, but they are also a group of people who never give up, do not give up, can afford to take, and can put down.
The hong Kong film and television industry is sluggish, which is an irresistible factor; if you can't change the reality, then change yourself.
In the past, they were dazzling stars on the stage; now, they work as security guards, set up stalls, deliver takeaways, work as workers, and live like "ants".
Hard, downcast, desolate... But there is no shame in that!
Because in addition to being entertainers, they are also the children of their parents, the parents of their children, the husbands of women, the women of their husbands.
Different identities shoulder different responsibilities, and this responsibility does not crush it, but makes people burst out with amazing energy and morale.
This is where these ordinary Hong Kong artists are touching and admired, and it is also a place where all of us deserve to learn.
For example, Mai Changqing was confused by the failure of business last year, and after the development of the mainland this year, his acting career soon glowed with a "second spring".
In this regard, Mai Changqing is full of gratitude, and a while ago he volunteered in Guangzhou to give back to people's love for him.
In any profession, there is a bright and beautiful side, and there is also a desolate side. Life ups and downs, life ups and downs, ordinary heart to see, hard work to treat, proud when not ostentatious, frustrated when not sad, light a lamp, send a beam of light!
Encourage the kings!
