Hong Kong actor Luo Yingjun is well known to mainland audiences for playing the monk Jin Chi in the TVB version of "Journey to the West", but since "Forensic Pioneer 3" and "Lack of House Men and Women", he seems to have never appeared in TVB dramas. It turned out that in recent years, he had long left the nest and gone north to the mainland to develop and grab real silver.
Luo Yingjun's idea of leaving the nest has long been there, and he can't stand the control of TVB. In 1995, Luo Yingjun immigrated to Canada with his wife after the appointment expired; but things did not go well, because the Chinese had a difficult development in the local area, and his wish to continue to be an actor could not be realized, so he returned to Hong Kong after only a few months to re-sign TVB, "I heard a friend say that you can join the Actors Organization in Vancouver and shoot local dramas, but in fact, they are all dragon sets!" Are you telling me to be a extra and earn that kind of salary? At that time, he was not willing, so he returned to Hong Kong to continue to work hard. Luo Yingjun said this in an interview with Hong Kong media.
TVB's work intensity, high density, low income, is a well-known sweatshop, but this harsh environment can indeed exercise people, the income from going out on stage is also good, Luo Yingjun plans to spend about 10 years to improve himself, but also save some money to go out. By 2007-2008, the entertainment market in the mainland was booming rapidly, and Luo Yingjun planned to go north as soon as the appointment was full, but at this time, the financial crisis occurred.
His savings were destroyed by investing in stocks and financial products, and in desperation, he could only renew his contract with TVB for another 2 years until he officially left the nest in 2011.
Luo Yingjun, who left TVB, wanted to be a free man, he went north to develop, and cooperated with Wang Weiwei's TV station, although the middle encountered a mainland development change, hktv did not get a license and other blows, and TVB called the old generals to return, and there was no intention of returning to the nest, "In those two or three years, TVB called several times to persuade me to go back, I said I wanted to see the world outside, they understood what I meant, the artist did not agree positively, in fact, it was a refusal, after a few years they did not look for me again, they found an artist to fill the vacancy. He told reporters in an interview.
Since 2011, Luo Yingjun has no idea of returning to the nest, and now he mainly takes on some mainland dramas and online movies in the mainland, the work is relatively relaxed, the income is good, everyone may have watched his videos on Douyin and Kuaishou, and his days are much more dashing than when he was on TVB.
