The 66-year-old TVB veteran Green Leaf Wang Juntang has gone to live in the Mainland in the first half of 2022 because he is filming the TVB drama "Dancing Over the City". In fact, Wang Juntang had already been living in the local area before the official filming of "One Dance" began, and he frequently made videos on social platforms to show off his life in the Mainland. Wang Juntang has always praised the Mainland and is very yearning to live in the Mainland. Speaking of which, he has a strong sense of belonging and identity. Looking at the information, we can see that his ancestral home is Weihai, Shandong. Therefore, this time TVB is filming "Dancing Over the City" , he can also be regarded as one of the "volunteers".
Many viewers think that Wang Juntang is currently living in the Mainland solely for the purpose of filming the drama "One Dance", but in fact this is not the case. Wang Juntang's youngest son Wang Dongtai revealed that his father is very patriotic, and even quoted his father's current thoughts. If there is nothing special in Hong Kong in the future, he does not plan to return to Hong Kong. He will consider living in the mainland (Guangzhou) forever, not just because of the local life. The conditions are good, especially because it is easier to make money in the mainland than in Hong Kong. Wang Dongtai also emphasized that his father has not left TVB and is still a TVB artist until this moment.
Knowing that Wang Juntang may stay in the mainland for a long time in the future, many viewers still feel regretful. It is a pity that they cannot see Wang Juntang's performance in " Love Home: Happy Express ". Wang Juntang has been developing in TVB for more than 30 years. Due to his rough appearance, he has been playing some bullies or characters with a bad image for many years. He did not have many classic roles until he filmed "Love Home: Happy Express" 》, played the role of Chi Fu, which was deeply loved by the audience, and became a permanent character in this drama, with an independent storyline. As a result, I haven’t seen Wang Juntang’s performance in the past six months, which is still disappointing. The audience couldn't bear to part with it.
Wang Juntang was a seafarer before entering the industry. Later, his brother had an accident at sea and he was injured, so he returned to Hong Kong to work. In the mid-1980s, under the introduction of Lee Soo-hyun , he joined the entertainment industry and developed as an actor. Mainly working in the field, he officially joined TVB in the 1990s. As mentioned before, Wang Juntang does not have handsome looks, which means he cannot be the protagonist. He has been starring in Green Leaf for many years. Wang Juntang is also self-aware of this. He never chooses roles and has been acting conscientiously for more than 30 years. Although he is not well-known and does not have many representative roles to speak of, he has been filming for more than 30 years, so he has long been known to many audiences. In the past two years, because of "Love Home: Happy Express", he has become even more popular. Pay attention to the audience. Not only Hong Kong audiences, but also many mainland audiences recognize him, which has paved the way for his development in the mainland.
Frankly speaking, if he only relied on TVB to make money to support his family, Wang Juntang's income would definitely not be high. In fact, Wang Juntang now has his own house in Hong Kong. Although it is not big, it is still a comfortable place. This is a very remarkable thing. The reason why Wang Juntang was able to successfully buy a house and raise his two sons was all because of his side business. Wang Juntang started working in karaoke bars in the 1990s. At that time, it was the easiest to make money in this industry in Hong Kong, and Wang Juntang also made a lot of money. Later, lounges became less popular, and Wang Juntang started a wedding co-ordinating business after the turn of the millennium. In the past few years, he started to switch to kung fu dim sum. What I want to say more is that in the past, Wang Juntang had to stay in Hong Kong to support his family and never had the opportunity to live or work in the mainland. Now that his two sons have grown up and become talents, he does not need to bear the burden of life, and he has no income. The pressure is relatively free, and since I was about to go to the mainland to film a new TVB series, I tried to live in the mainland.
It’s not that I’ve never been to the mainland before, it’s just that I haven’t lived in the mainland for that long. After living in the Mainland for more than half a year, Wang Juntang has integrated into the local life. For him, it is not much different from living in Hong Kong, and is even more convenient. In the past six months, Wang Juntang has opened a live broadcast platform to share his life in the Mainland. Bit by bit, very involved.More importantly, there are more job opportunities in the mainland and there are many ways to make money. In addition to filming dramas for TVB, Wang Juntang can also take on his own work in his spare time. For example, he can also make money by doing live broadcasts to attract fans, which makes him more I love life in the Mainland very much.
Wang Juntang's son revealed that his father is now living a comfortable life in the Mainland and will not consider returning to Hong Kong if necessary. Hong Kong will now arrange for artists to film dramas in the Mainland. In this way, Wang Juntang can fully fulfill his contractual obligations without returning to Hong Kong. After Wang Juntang was revealed by his son that he would continue to live in the Mainland, he admitted in an interview that this was indeed the case, because the filming of "One Dance" will be completed by the end of July, and another drama will start filming in mid-August. I won’t be able to come back to Hong Kong in the short term, and the earliest I can come back is probably by the end of the year. Wang Juntang has no objections to living in the Mainland for a long time. The only regret he has is probably not being able to participate in the performance of "Love Comes Home: Happy Express".
