As the Hong Kong circle declines, the talent loss of TVB TVB is becoming more and more obvious. In recent years, many celebrities have chosen to develop in the mainland, including well-known actors and golden supporting roles, and there are also many veteran actors with online acting skills, such as the 58-year-old TVB TVB TV King Lai Yaoxiang .
Although he still cooperates with TVB, Lai Yaoxiang has long publicly stated that he should focus his work on the mainland, because he feels that filming on TVB is like stagnant. In an interview, Lai Yaoxiang was even more shy and said bluntly that even if he continues to cooperate with TVB, his attitude will shoot if he likes, and if he doesn't like it, he won't shoot if he doesn't.
even if TVB senior executives come out to find Li Yaoxiang to film, he still has the same attitude.
——But Li Yaoxiang probably didn’t expect that the mainland market is indeed developing rapidly, with better revenue and more projects than TVB, but it does not mean that it is easier to develop.
, who has settled and bought a house in Zhongshan, Guangdong, for a long time, has been working in the mainland. Most of his daily itineraries are selling goods, performing commercial performances and shooting short videos. During this period, he also recorded the Hunan Satellite TV star variety show "Hello, Saturday" with , Deng Cuiwen and others, which successfully brought a wave of memories and had a good rating - Lai Yaoxiang's career in the mainland is almost limited to this.
22 The only online movie "The Great Dream Journey to the West: Five Elements Mountains" filmed in the mainland. He starred as the fourth male supporting role and played Zhu Bajie again.
Just watch a few stills and feel it. Lai Yaoxiang's appearance in the Internet is basically the same as the TVB version of " Journey to the West " broadcast in 1996. To be nice, it is called a tribute, and to be ugly, it is called a consumption classic.
Not only that, even in the refined stills, you can feel that Lai Yaoxiang is old and his face is very shriveled. With the special makeup with big belly and poop, it is inconsistent no matter how you look at it.
"The Great Dream Journey to the West: Five Elements Mountains" failed. The platform score was only 3.3 points, and it is also the lowest-rated work among Lai Yaoxiang's works for more than 30 years.
Subsequently, Lai Yaoxiang also released movie highlights on the short video platform, mainly because of his whole process of dressing up as Zhu Bajie, and he had some consumer sentiment. He also failed because of this, received bad reviews, and was said to be a living: "A character will play for a lifetime."
In fact, the role of Zhu Bajie is not a classic in Lai Yaoxiang's acting career. His representative work in his personal profile is " Women's Heroes ". The characters who really exploded and won the award are Chai Jiu and Liu Xing . Looking back at Lai Yaoxiang's high-scoring works, Zhou Botong is both ahead of Zhu Bajie.
However, just after Lai Yaoxiang starred in such a movie, many netizens’ impression of him was frozen in his role as Zhu Bajie again after 24 years, and even the media focused on this matter.
Recently, Lai Yaoxiang happened to go back to TVB to record a TVB anniversary program. Media reports directly used his performance as a gimmick in the Internet failure, and asked him in person what he thought of the bad reviews.
Li Yaoxiang's response was somewhat dry, and he could only try his best to maintain decentness. But if you look closely, you will find that he said "it doesn't matter" twice in a row.
What is even more embarrassing is that the media also emphasized that Lai Yaoxiang pointed out that remuneration is not one of his important considerations. As long as the script of is good, it doesn’t matter even if the money is small - it doesn’t matter again.
Lai Yaoxiang himself once said in an interview that the actors were most afraid of staying in the same place, and turned around and played an old role 24 years ago in the 3.3-point Internet giant. When he returned to his old club to record the show, he was immediately asked for bad reviews in person. TVB's TV Emperor was no longer safe in the evening. What else can he say except that he doesn't care?
is actually not just Lai Yaoxiang. The 61-year-old Ouyang Zhenhua also broadcasted a version of " New Remaining Relics " in 2022. The same TV Emperor plays the Internet Big and the same scores and earns old money - the same "unpreservation of the late life".
Of course, many old actors who "don't protect their lives in the evening" also have no scenes to shoot. As for the reasons, there are many different reasons. Maybe they want to make money easily, or maybe they really can't find a suitable role. I hope that the themes of film and television dramas will be richer in the future and give the old actors a chance.
Finally, I hope that the veteran actors will try to screen the script when filming, strive to achieve a better two-way cooperation, and don’t destroy the audience’s childhood memories anymore - we really think!
