I think that back then, those classic Hong Kong TVB dramas accompanied many people through their youth, in addition to the glittering protagonists in the play, there are many supporting roles who are willing to be green leaves.
Compared with those protagonists who are mixed up, these golden supporting characters who have been like a day for decades are actually more sad, and then Xiao 8 will come to pick up the sad history behind them.
Luo Lelin, the golden green leaf of this TVB, I believe many people are very familiar with him.
He is the righteous policeman Jiang Dingbang in "I Am Kind"
Ye Tian, an old friend of Liu Songren in "The Great Time"
In the 96th edition of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", I will do whatever I want
In the "Legend of the Tang Dynasty Double Dragon", the Southern Song Dynasty valve valve lord Song Que
After signing with TVB in 1990, Luo Lelin began his twenty-year-long dragon racing career.
As everyone knows, when he just debuted, he played the main role, he first signed a contract with Jiayi TV, played Yang Guo in the TV series "Divine Eagle Hero" in 76, was the first generation of Yang Guo in the drama version, and later played the role of Meng Xing's soul in "Meteor Butterfly Sword", and played Yan Nantian in "Tianya Mingyue Knife" and became a popular young student.
But since signing tvb, he has not been taken seriously, playing a bitter supporting role, and even because he "died" five times on the same day, he was on the news, making him re-ignite.
It turned out that from April 6 to 7, 2001, he participated in all six dramas broadcast by TVB, only one of which did not die, and the rest were all dog belted for various reasons, so it broke records and appeared on international news.
In "Hongwu Thirty-Two", he played Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness
Mo Ping in "Female Fist" was beaten to death
He vomited blood and died in "Cloth God"
In "Everybody Rejoices", he died of illness, and in "The Seventh Errand Hall", he died of loss of salvation
Although this coincidence has made Luo Lelin regain attention, it is inevitable that people will feel sad, debuting for more than 40 years, from a small student who was popular in the past to a professional household in the dragon set, and finally rely on "death" to become popular.
And tvb dramas also have a kind of green leaf actor who specializes in clowns and adulterous roles, and Che Paul is one of them.
Because of his strange appearance, Car Paul was discovered by the star scouts and joined TVB, but also because of the appearance problem, Car Paul can only play some supporting roles.
For example, the fat head in "Deer Ding"
Crane Pen Weng in "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens"
There are also cloth sellers in "In Search of Qin", troublemakers in "Rushing into the Clouds", these do not even have a role in name, but because of his appearance, people are unforgettable.
Later, with the decline of hong Kong's entertainment industry, TVB was only willing to give him a salary of two thousand yuan a year, at this time he had been a supporting role for TVB for 20 years, and Che Paul was reluctant to terminate his contract, so he became a member of the unemployment tide.
Paul, who failed to become an actor, could only find another way and find countless jobs, but he was pushed back by a sentence of "big stars please can't afford you", and he survived for several months on the relief money.
Later, under the introduction of a friend, he tried many jobs, worked as a security guard, a construction site worker, and now he is doing chores in a hospital.
But his life is still not enough to make ends meet, when her mother died in 2012, she could not even pay the funeral fee, and finally had to ask the society for help to collect donations, no one expected that the old employees of the former TVB would now fall into such a field.
And the situation of Car Paul is not unique, TVB's other familiar green leaf actor Ai Wei is not in a dilemma to lose to Car Paul.
In 1979, Ai Wei became a student of the artist training class, during the same period, Tang Zhenye, Liao Qizhi, and later became the introductory disciple of "Uncle Shrimp" Guan Haishan with Wu Mengda, and the stage name of Ai Wei was also given to him by Uncle Shrimp.
Because of his good singing voice, Eve once sang in the bar and earned more than 10,000 yuan a month, but later signed a wireless contract, and could only get a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan a month.
More than 30 years into the show business circle, Ivy has played countless supporting roles, Suchong in "Deer Ding"
Li Mi in "The Legend of The Great Tang Double Dragon"
Huang Rihua's version of the Divine Doctor Xue Muhua of the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon
In "The Golden Years", Luo Jialiang's lawyer Zhao Wenji
After a lifetime of playing supporting roles, Eve also lost his job because of TVB layoffs, changed his career to become a shoemaker but was not alone, originally lost important financial resources, his wife also suffered from a giant tumor, and his stomach was as big as if she was pregnant for several months.
In order to treat his wife, Ai Wei spent all his wealth, and his life was even worse, it is gratifying that Ai Wei's wife finally successfully cured the tumor through surgery, and now the two live a plain and happy life.
Although the actor looks bright on the surface, it is actually a high-risk profession, and some actors even give their lives for the play.
As a senior tvb veteran artist, Chen Honglie's life is dedicated to filming.
Speaking of Chen Honglie, as we all know, his first wife was the "immortal goddess" Pan Yingzi, although he has been filming for TVB in Hong Kong for many years, but in fact he is a Shanghainese, or a rich family, who was discovered by scouts on the streets of Hong Kong before entering the entertainment circle.
He once played Bai Mei Daochang in "Young Hero Fang Shiyu"
Playing the imperial doctor Sun Qinghua in "Golden Branch Desire", this play also brought him the first trophy in his life and won tvb's "Extraordinary Strength Award"
There are also cameos in these dramas such as "Storm of Hearts", "Magic Hands and Benevolent Hearts", "Pearlescent Treasure" and so on.
In 2009, Chen Honglie died of a heart attack on the set during filming, because he had to shoot two scenes at the same time, and Chen Honglie worked up to 69 hours a week.
After that, Chen Honglie's family asked TVB for a pension, but TVB refused to give a pension, because TVB has never paid a pension to the family of the deceased artist, and also stressed that Chen Honglie did not die due to overtime work, and the company did not have any responsibility.
Hong Kong actors' salaries are not as good as the mainland, the price is sky-high at every turn, as a supporting role, they actually receive a salary of not much, but they have been willing to be green leaves for decades, without them, TVB's dramas cannot be so wonderful.
Although they also have a heart that wants to be popular, but after all, they can survive from supporting roles to the protagonists, because an actor who wants to be popular sometimes needs luck, but even if they can only be a supporting role, they still maintain a dedicated spirit, conscientiously bringing us so many good-looking dramas, this spirit alone is worth calling for them.
