Veteran Hong Kong drama actor Li Chengchang has been working for TVB since he officially entered the training class in 1978. The guest-host relationship for more than 40 years is a legend in the entertainment industry. Recently, he revealed in an interview with Hong Kong media that outsiders have invited him to join three times.
"The first two times were when ATV wanted to poach me. There was a gap in between, but to be honest, the conditions were quite ordinary. Then I thought, since the conditions are similar to those offered by companies, it's better to be a professional than a mature one!" Li Chengchang recalled.
After working for TVB for 30 years, the third invitation came again. This time it was not the weak ATV, but HKTV waving a large check. Boss Wang, who recognized his strength, offered a good price, but it was completely overturned. Li Chengchang, who integrated into TVB, refused without thinking. He felt that the company treated him well and hoped to continue working in TV City.
"He (Boss Wang) offered me a price, but I didn't want to talk to him. The biggest reason is that the company gave me a lot of opportunities. I'm really grateful to the producer for allowing me to appear in so many dramas." and characters. Among them, I especially want to thank Pan Jiade and producer for his encouragement and support. When I was recovering and waiting for the drama to be released, he told me, Achang, you can no longer stop working. Come out and work. I have a drama here that is suitable. You, I’m all about you!" Li Chengchang said.
As for the external accusations that TVB treats old employees harshly and is ruthless, Li Chengchang also has a different view, saying that both TVB and other film and television companies will make certain arrangements based on commercial considerations, and he still has confidence in TVB. "I believe that the company thinks that we green leaves can add luster to the drama. Whether it is green leaves or supporting roles, I feel that I am already happier than many people."
However, Li Chengchang's words have made people who are looking forward to hearing criticism of TVB Local netizens were very dissatisfied. They believed that saying good things about TVB without leaving the nest was a sign of ignorance, loyalty, and lack of ambition. Therefore, they launched attacks and abuses in the news comment area. "Remember never to leave in this life", "Foolish loyalty, a fish in the river is not fat", "So you have always been a small character", "A loser, destined to be discarded by TVB as toilet paper", "42 years It’s all the same, and he can’t get out of his comfort zone.” There are many comments like this.
In the eyes of many local netizens, everyone who leaves TVB is a buried talent. Even if they are reduced to serving dishes in a restaurant, they are still outstanding. Those who stay at TVB are all incompetent and shameless people. They and the elderly should deserve it. After being eliminated (except for , Li Jiaxin, and others), if Li Chengchang wants to restore his reputation, he can only wait until the day when he leaves the nest to count TVB.
