TVB's " Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony" at the end of every year is the highlight of TVB. Although there is an epidemic this year, it has still not been suspended.
As the first sister of TVB, the 73-year-old Wang Mingquan stood in the center of the stage after the opening and said to the senior executives present: "If the next situation is better, can you give me a little increase in salary? As an encouragement to everyone?"
Wang Mingquan's words received a round of applause from the audience.
The low income of TVB actors is obvious to all, and it is even more cruel amid the raging epidemic.
Before, Deng Cuiwen once said that TVB actors use a salary system. The basic salary of third-rate actors is only more than 6,000 per year. Yes, that is, the basic salary per month is more than 500. It is difficult to live in Hong Kong, where land is at a premium.
Although the salary for filming a movie is more than 100,000, not every actor has such luck and ability.
Even former first-line actor Wu Qihua said that his salary was not enough to support his family.
Even if this is the case on the front line, the lives of the Green Leaves have also become more difficult this year.
Some time ago, TVB invited six middle-aged uncles to see how they changed careers after not having a job in the entertainment industry for a long time.
's program is called "It's Not Easy to Be a Middle Man". They are all actors in their 40s. They have been green for many years and have not had a job for a long time.
They are Mai Changqing , Gu Minghua , Zhang Songzhi , Ao Jianian , Yuan Fuhua and Aiwei .
has been without a job for the longest time since the Lunar New Year in 2019, and the most recent one has been without a job since the Lunar New Year in 2020.
may not be familiar with the name, but the face must be.
Mai Changqing
Gu Minghua
Zhang Songzhi
Ao Jianian
Yuan Fuhua
Aiwei
Since it is a transformation, the first level set by the program team is job hunting and interviews. Does
sound a bit like " extreme challenge "?
However, these green actors are not as popular as those in "Extreme Challenge". Gu Minghua took the initiative to call and apply for a job as a delivery boy, but was rejected because he had no work experience.
The same goes for Zhang Songzhi. After a round of phone calls, there was no response.
The same goes for other actors and actresses. The lack of response on their resumes frustrated everyone, and the program team was even more frustrated. At this rate, even the uncles might not be able to find jobs until the program is finished.
So, they finally provided job opportunities to several uncles.
Society’s beatings come one after another.
Mai Changqing, who is not good at English, works as a delivery driver and received an English delivery order for his first order.
finally translated it, "avocado" made Mai Changqing at a loss, and was "disgusted" by the market lady: That's an avocado!
Zhang Songzhi went to work as a salesman, standing under the sun so tired that he was sweating profusely, but there was no business;
Yuan Fuhua went to a tea restaurant, but because he couldn't remember the illogical table number, he kept getting the wrong meal; there were no customers when He had to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes again;
Ao Jianian worked as a delivery boy, and finally nothing went wrong, but because he saw that he was wearing a camera, the customer wanted to call the police; later, Ao Jianian found that he did not bring any change, and he frequently took the wrong route...
Gu Minghua went to a store to do sales and was not familiar with the products, so his recommendations did not satisfy customers...
Aiwei went to the gas station, thinking that the job would be easy, but it turned out that he had to carry the regulations and regulations for a day, and the goods in the small supermarket at the gas station The arrangement took Aiwei another half day...
After the show, several people couldn't help but be positive. Compared to the six Green Leaf artists who can still start working on such a variety show, some TVB artists have really changed careers.
Although the 35-year-old TVB artist Jiang Zuman is famous in drama circles and literary films, she still has no job. Some time ago, Hong Kong media revealed that she was setting up a roadside stall selling potted plants.
The second runner-up of Mr. Asia in 2012 Huang Junfeng has appeared in many film and television dramas such as "Anti-drugs", "Infernal Affairs", "Beijing Meets Seattle: The Best Love Letter".
After the epidemic started, he taught people to box in a fitness center. Later, the epidemic became serious and there were fewer people boxing. He could only work two jobs and work as a waiter in a restaurant.
works from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day, but he thinks it’s good because at least his income is relatively stable.
Like Huang Junfeng, Hong Kong singer and host An Junhao also works part-time at the gym. In order to support his family, he also distributes flyers, delivers food, and does various part-time jobs.
appeared in "Love. Mo Jiagan of "Happy Express Home" was photographed working as porters with his friend Chen Guofeng to earn extra money. Some media interviewed two people. They admitted that they did work as porters for their friends, and they could earn 900 yuan by working for 9 hours a day.
Compared with ordinary people who have never had the highlight moment on stage, these people can rely on their own hands. Going to make money actually makes people feel more appreciated: there is nothing cleaner than making money with your own hands.
