Recently, Hong Kong media reported the recent situation of "Crystal Girl" Liang Minyi-she lost her job and switched to selling cakes!
At first, Paijie was as dumbfounded as you in front of the screen.
A 45-year-old actress became a waitress?
Miss Hong Kong, who is famous for her sexiness, sells cakes?
How can a veteran actor who has participated in many film and television dramas, such as The Rebirth of the Flying Dragon, Thousand Machine Changes, Baby Plan and money empire, and has worked with Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Daniel Wu, Yam Tat-wah and Ekin Cheng, be so depressed?
But the reality is so realistic, sometimes in order to survive and live, we not only have to bow our heads, but also bend over.
When Paijie used this as an introduction, she uncovered the truth of the existence of ordinary artists in Hong Kong, and found that being a security guard, setting up a stall, delivering takeout food, driving a bus and being a waiter ... became the "last survival fortress" for many people!
A few days ago, the news that 36-year-old Hong Kong actress Yang Qi was a security guard spread like wildfire, and the entertainment circle was in an uproar.
Many friends may not be familiar with the actress, but when it comes to Zhang Aijia, everyone must know that Rene Liu and I are brother and sister, and they are both lovers.
Kate Yeung was born in the advertising industry and once worked as a spokesperson for Sprite. After entering the film and television industry, he was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for his first film "Uneven Soul", and has won numerous awards in the Chinese film industry since then.
However, most of Kate Yeung's films are well-received literary films. In addition, she is low-key and has no job to eat, so it is easy to understand when she is a security guard.
Do you think it's just an example that a star turns to be a security guard? Li Zhongning, one of the "Ten Stars of the Galaxy" in the past, debuted at the same time as Aaron Kwok and Chingmy Yau, and was once as famous as Tony Leung Chiu Wai. He has been a security guard for many years.
Whenever the media and netizens tease him, Li Zhongning will reluctantly reply: "I used to be an actor, but now I am a security guard. Is there any problem? "
Being a security guard is very lucky. Zhang Songzhi, who left TVB last year, didn't want to be a security guard.
Compared with the "high threshold" of security, delivery has become a way for many Hong Kong artists to solve their urgent needs.
Years ago, the news that Ao Jianian, a young student studying at TVB, earned 1.3 million yuan in two weeks for delivery was exposed, which aroused the envy of many people.
Mr. Asia Huang Junfeng has three children to support and a mortgage to pay. This veteran actor, who has appeared in Acts, Anti-drug, Chasing Dragons and other films, put down his figure and started a part-time takeaway in a restaurant.
An Junhao, a new generation singer, has several jobs, not only delivering takeout, but also handing out leaflets and being a fitness instructor.
Wang Zhidi, an artist under TVB, couldn't bear it after a few months' basic salary and started a takeaway in a pork shop.
Just a few examples can show that hard work has always been an effective means for Hong Kong's down-and-out artists to solve their urgent needs.
Both Mo Jiagan and Chen Guofeng suffered heavy losses due to investment failure. As soon as they discussed it, they went directly to the construction site to work as part-time porters.
Although 900 yuan can't get rich on a daily salary, she can still subsidize her family while eating. Why not?
Lok Yin Chiu and Cursor are also trying to make money. The former is a decorator and the latter is a formaldehyde worker.
Guan Haishan's second son, Guan Cong, as an old-school "goddess of ancient costume", accumulated wealth with many film and television works such as Little Li Fei Island, Legend of Lu Xiaofeng, Ichiro Shaw, Tianbu, Double Pride and heroes shed no tears, and then went into business. However, after the business failed, he was accused of fraud and went to prison. After he got out of prison, he set up a stall at the back door of the supermarket to make ends meet.
Fu Huayuan, an old actor, just won the prize of the movie Hand-Beating and turned to be a dishwasher.
Someone asked him why he did this, and Fu Huayuan said helplessly, "It took three years to take over this play, and the pay was not enough for three months."
You think the dishwasher is easy to make? Fuhuayuan complained while working, and the boss dismissed the work clothes directly on the grounds that the color was wrong.
Changqing Mai, who also failed in business, lamented, "I was never afraid to find something to eat before. If you are willing to do it, there must be a way out. But I don't know why, recently I feel that if you are willing to do it, you may not have a job. "
Netizens felt sorry for him and comforted him: "Sell fish with me!"
Not to mention, there are really Hong Kong actors who have switched to selling fish.
The old actor who worked with the cooperative TV series "Searching for Qin" turned to sell fish after his girlfriend, who was 24 years younger than him, broke up because she was too poor. When Louis Koo heard about it, he quickly persuaded him to come back-the two brothers starred in the movie version of "Searching for Qin" together!
Idea Ng, who looks as thin as Nicholas Tse, has been languishing in TVB for many years without any hope, so he took the bus instead.
How do you feel after reading these 18 Hong Kong down-and-out artists' Fortress of Survival?
In addition to my sister's input, I was more moved.
They are a group of people who have been abandoned by the times and forgotten by people, but they are also a group of people who never leave, never leave, can afford and let go.
The film and television industry in Hong Kong is in recession, which is an irresistible factor. If you can't change the reality, change yourself.
Previously, they were dazzling stars on the stage; Now, they work as security guards, set up stalls, deliver takeout food, work as workers, and live an ant-like life.
Hard, down and out, sad ... but never shameful!
Because they are not only artists, but also parents' children, children's parents, women's husbands and husbands' women.
Different identities shoulder different responsibilities, which do not overwhelm them, but make generate show amazing energy and fighting spirit.
This is a touching and admirable place for ordinary artists in Hong Kong, and it is also a place worth learning from all of us.
Take Changqing Mai as an example. Last year, he was frustrated by business failure. After coming to the mainland for development this year, his acting career quickly won the "second spring".
Changqing Mai is full of gratitude for this. He volunteered in Guangzhou a while ago just to repay people's love for him.
Any profession has a glamorous side and a desolate side. Life is ups and downs, life is ups and downs, treat it with a normal heart and a hard heart, don't make public when you are proud, don't be sad when you are frustrated, light a lamp and send out a beam of light!
