As we all know, tvb actors are generally paid relatively low, so many actors have done other side jobs while filming, part-time work to make money, and the occupations they are engaged in are also various, but the salary is quite considerable, even more than the main business of filming.
Physiotherapist
Recently officially announced marriage of TVB male star Lin Jingcheng is one of the cases, he is 37 years old, and his girlfriend outside the circle love long-distance running for 12 years, but also just entered the industry for 12 years, starred in "Blind Man Barrister" and other dramas, but most of them are supporting roles, the film remuneration is very low, in order to make money to support the family, he also works part-time as a physical therapist, and the salary of this job is 7 to 8 times that of acting. But acting is something he loves, so he takes care of both sides.
Star bodyguards
In 2019, a Korean male star went to Hong Kong to participate in an event, and when he appeared at the airport, he was surrounded by a large number of bodyguards to open the way for him, and the image of one of the bodyguards was very eye-catching, and even fans on the scene came forward to take a photo with him. It turns out that this bodyguard is also an actor, he is TVB artist Li Jia, who once played a role in the TVB drama "Big Handsome Brother" starring Zhang Weijian. Although she is an artist herself, Li Jia is also very professional when she acts as a bodyguard, and she rejects the request for a fan photo on the spot.
In fact, Li Jia had been in the diet business before filming, but his Russian girlfriend had a tumor in her brain and needed surgery. In order to spend more time with his girlfriend, Li Jia resigned as a shareholder of the restaurant. But in order to earn more money to pay his girlfriend's medical bills, he began to take over micro-films, and even started a part-time bodyguard job, which was very affectionate and righteous.
Voice actor
Gu Minghua is a TVB face that everyone is very familiar with, who has won the best supporting actor at the TVB Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony, and he is also a senior artist of TVB, but most of the time he is a supporting role. He admitted that he did part-time dubbing 20 years ago, when TVB had a monthly salary of seven or eight thousand, but it cost 5,000 yuan per month to supply the building, fortunately, the part-time income was higher than the film remuneration, all by the money earned by part-time work, so that he and his wife had no worries about food and clothing, and they could also provide cars. Although TVB's salary is low, Gu Minghua is still very content.
Sell fish
Huang Wenbiao often has a big beard, so he often plays some villain roles such as bullies and robbers in TVB's dramas, and plays Xiang Shaolong's good brother Teng Yi in "Looking for Qin", which left a deep impression on the audience. But it is such a golden supporting role, who was also photographed in 2018 running and selling fish for a living, and the sweaty look looks very hard. However, Huang Wenbiao said that because he did not sign a TV station, the workload was not very large, so he helped his friends sell fish in his spare time, just part-time work, and went back to shoot when there was a play. He said he didn't mind being a supporting role, just because he wanted to live.
Sell pork
Affected by the epidemic, the income of many TVB artists has been greatly reduced, so more artists can be seen active in different part-time positions. Wang Zhidi, who played "Iron Mask Chen" in "Love Home", has been running dragon sets for more than ten years, and in 2020, he was photographed as a delivery man to deliver frozen pork to customers, tired to a mess, and there was no star image at all. It is said that he has also worked part-time as an insurance salesman before, and he is also very experienced in part-time work.
Decorators
TVB artist Zhao Lexian is more than 40 years old, is also tvb's "green leaf king", in 2020 also fell into the situation of no drama to shoot, in order to support the family, he can only go to odd jobs to earn money, do decoration work. At first, he also felt inferior to the job, and he hid it from his family and friends. Later, his good friend Zheng Shihao stepped forward to help, not only inviting him to shoot his own MV, but also enlightening him, as long as he is making money steadily, there is no distinction between high and low careers. Later, Zhao Lexian was also relieved, anyway, it is not shameful to earn money by relying on his own labor to support his family, and he also generously shouted out: I am maintaining my life, not being a thief!
Porter
TVB artist Mok Ka Gan himself is a graduate of the Department of Sociology of the University of Chinese in Hong Kong, after entering TVB, he first became a host and then an actor, which was not very popular, and also opened his own optical shop business during the period, but he lost a lot of money. He had a wife and children to support, so he worked part-time as a porter and received a salary of 900 yuan per day. Mo Jiagan felt that this job was good, and simply pulled his friend Chen Guofeng, who was also a TVB artist, to do it together. Chen Guofeng worked as a fitness coach before his debut, but after entering the industry, his salary was pitifully small, so he also joined the ranks of porters, and his salary was also good. Later, the two were also filmed eating a box lunch in the open air without a star shelf.
In fact, from the examples of these artists, it can be seen that tvb actors look bright and beautiful, but in fact, they may not even be able to achieve basic support for their families by relying on filming, and they are really actors with a passion, not for money. Although life is more difficult, they are still very optimistic, even if they do heavy physical work, they must continue their dreams, this spirit is really admirable.
