In mid-August, Huang Rihua, a veteran TVB artist who is more than half a hundred years old, appeared at a commercial performance scene, and the "Brother Jing" in the hearts of thousands of fans in the past was dressed in a structured blue suit and lunged in the theme song of "Shooting Eagle" that made people boiling with blood.
On the background board behind him is a still of playing "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", although Huang Rihua's appearance is still quite good, but the contrast between the present and the past is still very emotional.
It is said that this is a "signature action" that he has repeated many commercial performances.
Once the video was disseminated, netizens were hotly discussed, some people lamented that "how beautiful it was once, how depressed it is now", and some people praised Hong Kong Star for having the spirit of advancing with the times and having strong vitality.
But whether it is positive or negative, as the person involved, Huang Rihua, the rise and fall of his life he has experienced over the years, the ups and downs of his state of mind, such as fish drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, and the speculation and judgment of others are just scratching the itch of the boots and do not get the point.
Also in August, Ma Jingtao, a famous artist of the same age and seniority as Huang Rihua, also appeared at a wedding scene in a wealthy rural area in the south as a "special guest".
As can be seen from the on-site photos, although the wedding is held in the countryside, the scene layout is warm and romantic.
Although Ma Jingtao has frequently appeared on the commercial performance scene in recent years, this is the first time he has appeared in a vegetarian wedding to help. On that day, Ma Jingtao sang several songs and shook hands with many relatives and friends present one by one, which was very good at creating an atmosphere.
During Ma Jingtao's singing, a little girl was also arranged to come on stage to offer flowers. Ma Jingtao picked up the little girl, while singing, he did not forget to interact with the little girl in his arms, after singing a song, Ma Jingtao gentlemanly kissed the girl's cheek warmly, causing thunderous applause.
Ma Jingtao, who once had outstanding business ability and highly infectious performances, can be said to have successfully completed the task of "entertaining guests", and the guests and hosts were happy and the money was worth it. However, seeing that the former "Roaring Emperor" is now visiting the rural wedding scene to "catch the scene", netizens can't help but complain: "The past stars have now fallen into the rural running field."
According to insiders, the price of this "commercial performance" is 300,000 yuan, but it is only an hour, singing a few songs can have such an income, which is also an amazing income.
When a person is old, he can still rely on the real money and silver of the past, and how many people in such a "fallen" world can reach?

Recently, on a short video platform, some video clips of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists coming to the mainland for commercial performances, such as Ma Jingtao, Huang Rihua, Tao Dayu and Qi Qin, seem to appear in a pile.
These popular artists who were in the 1980s and 1990s are now old and no longer have the scenery, and they take turns to "parachute" into the small cities of the fourth and fifth tiers of the mainland, and even do not rule out the small counties of the eighteenth line, to participate in small-scale commercial performances with rudimentary venues, just to earn some banknotes that are only worth one-tenth of today's "top" appearance fees.
It is inevitable that it will be regrettable.
I think that back then, when they were in the limelight, they were also like those artists with top traffic today, either performing a thousand crowded plays or a song full of thunderous applause, they were the cultural icons of that bygone era, and they had profoundly influenced generations with their own works.
However, now that they are nearly sixty years old, there may still be a certain degree of popularity in the current post-90s group as the mainstream audience of literature and art, and as for the post-00s whose cultural consumption power is soaring, there are very few who can still call their names.
It is undeniable that the post-60s, 70s and 80s who are most popular with these veteran artists are currently the mainstream of society, and they can still use their youthful feelings to take the nostalgic route for commercial realization, which should be the last glory of these veteran artists.
It's like the last brilliant glow of the sunset before it fades into night!

There is an old saying that goes like this, do not know the suffering of others, do not persuade others to be good.
If you apply this sentence, you can also say this: Since you don't know the real life situation of these old drama bones, then please don't speculate and praise and disparage at will!
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, although these once famous stars are now "gone", they are still rich and have no worries than ordinary people, but one thing everyone should think of is that people with large incomes will inevitably have big expenses, and the real situation of these veteran artists who have passed the glory period of their careers may not be as generous as you think, and even, they may have some people who do not know the embarrassment and suffering.
In 1979, Huang Rihua, who was nearly 18 years old, was admitted to the Hong Kong Wireless Trainee Training Class with the dream of being an actor, and after a year of systematic training, he signed a contract with Wireless and became a regular artist.
Huang Rihua has starred in many film and television dramas since his art, the most far-reaching of which is the role of Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", and he has also become one of the wireless "Five Tiger Generals".
Drama is like his person, Huang Rihua also has a heart of indifference to the world and mellow treatment of others like "Silly Guo Jing", although he is in a strange showbiz circle, he always upholds his original intention and acts seriously. Keep a low profile.
He has never competed for a role in the scene, so he has been praised by the wireless high-level, and there will be stable output of works every year.
With the successful portrayal of the role of the hero "Qiao Feng" in "Tianlong Eight Parts", Huang Rihua once again climbed the peak of his career and sat firmly in the "hero" seat of Jin Yong drama.
On December 7, 1988, Huang Rihua and his first love girlfriend Liang Jiehua were officially married, and then gave birth to a daughter Huang Zhiqing.
Since their marriage, Huang Rihua has had a happy marriage and a smooth career, loving his family, caring for his family and loving his family in life, and the couple has become a model of love between husband and wife in the Hong Kong showbiz circle.
Unfortunately, in 2000, Liang Jiehua was found to have blood cancer during a physical examination.
The fate of heaven shook the happy and peaceful life apart.
In order to fully take care of his sick wife, Huang Rihua chose to reduce his workload and gradually reduced from the male lead drama to the guest role.
In order to pay for the high medical expenses, he did not hesitate to spend thousands of dollars, reducing his daily life consumption again and again, and was even photographed by the Hong Kong media to buy clothes for the stall. He was also once thin and old due to the pressure of life and the anxiety in his heart.
His courage seemed to move the heavens, and Liang Jiehua's condition was once stable or even improved, which made Huang Rihua overjoyed.
But unfortunately, on May 26, 2020, Liang Jiehua finally died of illness due to organ failure. At the ceremony for his wife, Huang Rihua's eyes were puffy and red, he looked haggard and abnormal, and the whole person was immersed in the pain of bereavement.
Later, he revealed that his wife who had been with him for many years had a long time, which made him lose all his thoughts, and even had the idea of taking his own life.
Fortunately, time can heal all wounds, and today, Huang Rihua has gradually come out of his inner haze, after all, his wife has taken full care of him when he was there, and he is not ashamed.
After many years of semi-retirement, he wanted to return to the acting industry, but unfortunately, the Hong Kong entertainment industry had long been in decline, and he had to come to the mainland to find opportunities when he ran into walls everywhere.
However, veteran Hong Kong artists going north are not everyone developing smoothly to start the second spring of their careers, in order to make a living, Huang Rihua has to adapt to the times, change his course and frequent commercial performances, say lines from many years ago, and do actions that were once familiar to his heart.
However, there will still be uninformed netizens who complain that he "nibbled on the old book", and even unceremoniously rebuked "late festival is not guaranteed".

And Ma Jingtao, who is in the same situation as him, has also been unable to say a word over the years.
As a well-known artist who was once a household name, Ma Jingtao has starred in a series of far-reaching classic works such as "Water and Clouds", "Plum Blossom Branding", "The Secret History of Taizu" and so on, which are deeply loved by the audience.
He has also been called "Roaring Emperor" because of his "immersive" fierce and exaggerated facial movements.
Ma Jingtao's own life, which often shows his sad and angry face in the play, seems to have been "a chicken feather" for many years, his younger brother Ma Jingshan was arrested and imprisoned in 1996 for kidnapping his partner and extorting ransom, and in 2003, Ma Jingshan, who was only out of prison for one year, was imprisoned again, singing a play "Two Into the Palace".
Ma Jingtao once commented on his brother, "He is the biggest fear in my heart."
In 2010, at the age of eighty, she was also reported by various media outlets for a time because of a debt dispute of NT$16 million (3.5 million yuan), which made her star son discouraged.
Maybe he really borrowed the cries and shouts of the characters in the play to pour a block in his chest!
Ma Jingtao's own marriage feelings are not happy, he and his first wife Tang Yun divorced and then with the age difference of more than 21 years of age difference of more than 80 actor Wu Jiani composed a love song because of the drama, and overcame various obstacles to come together.
However, on the afternoon of March 30, 2017, Ma Jingtao, who had solemnly promised to "take care of her for a lifetime" in front of Wu Jiani's parents, posted a long article on Weibo titled "Ten Years of Foolish Dreams", announcing the end of the 10-year marriage and divorce from Wu Jiani, "My love and my marriage will end today."
In recent years, the appearance of the performing arts market is handsome, traffic is supreme, and most of the old drama bones such as Ma Jingtao are facing the dilemma of having no drama to shoot, and can only participate in small-scale commercial performances as a business platform without choice.
He once posted a video of a dinner party with his family, and he smiled and raised a glass to the camera, and gathered with the family around him to drink.
But this video also accidentally exposed the decoration of Ma Jingtao's home.
In the video, it can be seen that Ma Jingtao's kitchen and dining table are very close, the area is cramped, and the furniture and electrical appliances look ordinary or even old, which is far from the scene of the celebrity mansion in the public's mind.
And Ma Jingtao's two sons have also grown into dancing teenagers, and the two brothers are handsome and handsome, as if they have inherited the high-quality genes of their parents. Despite the breakdown of the marriage, Ma Jingtao did not lose his love for his sons, devoted himself to cultivating them, and proudly posted photos of the two's taekwondo victories on social platforms.
The necessary living needs of these two sons and the future education investment alone should not be a small amount. Moreover, although the daughter born to Ma Jingtao and his first wife has long since grown up, he cannot ignore it.
What's more, Ma Jingtao, who was born in 1962, has gradually entered the old world, and it is time to reserve the necessary pension.
Pile piece by piece, which one does not need money?
Like us, they are working tirelessly for a better quality of life and dignity for their loved ones and themselves.
If this is the so-called "fall", then this "fall" deserves respect.
There are merchant invitations, there are audiences to buy the bill, do not steal, do not rob, self-reliance, how can it become "late festival is not guaranteed"?
Please treat people with leniency and fulfill the last face and dignity of these veteran artists who are no longer young!
I am hateful, welcome to pay attention
