In 2020, because of the impact of the epidemic, all walks of life in Hong Kong have been greatly affected, and the entertainment industry has not been spared, unfortunately, although the epidemic has eased in 2021, the follow-up influence still exists, and for many artists who take Hong Kong as the base for development, every day is a torment. For ordinary green leaves, supporting roles, long-term no work, food and clothing are problematic, and for some small famous, their own company of the artist, the pressure is also very large, life is not a problem, but to raise the company's employees, it is not easy, especially in this critical period, many bosses try not to lay off employees, the price is to consume the old.
Just like ge Minhui, 54, from the impact of the social environment in 2019 to the spread of the epidemic, his company has not made a profit for two years, but he has not fired any employees, of course, it has become a reality that he cannot make ends meet, and he can only rely on his own economy. In order to save costs, Ge Minhui moved away from the Qingshuiwan mansion, which used to rent 130,000 yuan a month, and temporarily stayed in the hotel until he found a suitable place to live.
In Hong Kong, Ge Minhui is known as octopus, the so-called octopus means that he will touch all walks of life, as long as he can make money and develop, he will not miss it, he will not let go, so the business is diversified, and the development is also comprehensive. In fact, Ge Minhui's identity is also very diverse, generally referring to him as an artist, and under the general title of an artist, he is also a DJ, a hipster, an actor, a singer, a lyricist, in short, a lot of fame. And everyone knows Ge Minhui, more because of his identity as a DJ, once he and Lin Haifeng worked together as a dj of commercial radio, formed a combination of soft and hard masters, and then became famous, the two in the name of "soft and hard masters" to do diversified development, became the ace DJ group, in addition to hosting programs, but also out of records, do concerts, this group has also become the memory of a generation of Hong Kong people.
Later, the two members of the Soft and Hard Heavenly Division developed independently, and Ge Minhui officially began his more diversified and colorful development. Not to mention, although Ge Minhui's development is diverse, as a singer, an actor, a director, and even a hipster, he is basically proficient in everything and has achievements in everything. As a singer, he collaborated with Jacky Cheung early on on the song "Always is an Evocative Thing", which became a representative work of early R&B in Hong Kong; as a director, directing "The World of Two After First Love" was nominated for the Hong Kong Academy Awards. As an actor, he starred in "Three Teenagers in Love" and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. As a hipster, he was the first person to introduce A Bathing Ape to Hong Kong, and now he has launched his own tide brand, and in recent years, he has also designed peripheral products for artists' concerts, and his business has become bigger and bigger, and he has also set up a company.
Before the epidemic did not come, Ge Minhui relied on multi-faceted development, multi-pronged development in the entertainment industry, and developed vigorously, just the company he founded, and every year there was no end to the business. Ge Minhui is very smart, very good at using his network of relationships in the circle for so many years to bring development to the company, so the development of business breaks through the limitations of the entertainment industry, involving different categories and fields, and making word of mouth and scale.
But doing business has never been a sail of feng shui, only make a good thing without losing money, in fact, from 2019 onwards, Ge Minhui's company has had a big impact, at that time it was affected by the Hong Kong social environment, the amount of business fluctuated, but the impact at that time was not large, and Ge Minhui was also very optimistic that he worked hard, filmed advertisements, filmed movies, and made money from other aspects to make money to fill the company's losses, until the epidemic in 2020 was overwhelming, as the boss Ge Minhui faced this round of challenges, I had to concede defeat and directly admit that I was helpless.
After the epidemic spread in 2020, the company's business volume plummeted, because the associated industries were affected, many supply chains have been cut off, and many businesses that have been negotiated cannot continue to be done, resulting in losses, and even the final payment of many orders cannot be recovered. Ge Minhui understands that it is not easy for everyone, so he did not go to collect the arrears, and could only wait and see. At the same time, the development of the entertainment industry is also stagnant, advertising, drama and other work has been completely stopped, Ge Minhui fell into a dilemma situation, and even the opportunity to tear down the east wall to supplement the west wall is gone.
In such a situation, the only thing Ge Minhui can do is to insist on not laying off employees, because he has long regarded employees as a family, we have been together for so many years, established a deep relationship, it is impossible to drive employees away when it is windy and rainy outside, so until today, no one in the whole company has been laid off because of the epidemic. However, the result of not laying off employees and no income is to rely on their own old roots to bear everything. In addition to raising the company's employees, Ge Minhui's life needs him to be responsible, the burden on his body is really heavy and heavy, in the case of last resort, he began to think of ways to shrink clothes and diet, and to move the knife to his own life. In the time of the scenery, Ge Minhui rented a mansion in Clearwater Bay, with a monthly rent of 130,000, and now his income is not as good as before, so he can only move out of the mansion with his family, temporarily live in the hotel, stay until he finds a suitable place to live, and then make other plans.
Days always have to be lived, life must continue, everyone is the same, and Ge Minhui in the predicament of not only think of himself, but also a group of good employees around him who have been born and died for him, so he is determined to ensure the basic life of employees no matter how hard he is, and he always believes that he hopes that in tomorrow, after surviving this pass, the future will be beautiful. I have to say that Ge Minhui is really a good boss, not all bosses are so considerate of their employees, not to mention that he also pays for employees out of his own pocket.
