"I regret that I have no children and daughters, and I have to work hard to make a living in my later years." It is hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of an old drama.
Yang Kun , an actress who became popular in the 1990s by playing a supporting role, has been filming for more than 30 years since her debut, without interruption.
However, the only time she was known to the audience was when she was taken to court by the property company in 2009. In an instant, she became the focus of countless media attention.
Everyone believes that as a star, there is no shortage of money. Unexpectedly, Yang Kun has been out for more than 20 years, and he can't even pay the property fee of 45,000.
Actually, it's not that Yang Kun has no money, but that she repays her husband's debts with her pension. In the next few years, Yang Kun has been working hard on filming, just to buy a house early and provide for his own retirement.
It's a pity that she bought the house, and when she reaches retirement age, she still can't enjoy her old age and needs to continue to work hard.
has constant drama appointments, but they are all supporting roles, and the salary they get is pitiful. With no children and no daughters, in order to live a better life in her later years, she had to put down her face and compete with young people for jobs...
01, a successful career and a sweet marriage
Yang Kun was born in Yunnan in the early 1960s. Her parents are both local literary and art workers, and they are usually very busy with work. After having kids, work hasn't diminished either.
Yang Kun grew up in the art troupe when she was a child. Every day after school, she went to the art troupe to do her homework and went home with her parents to rest at night.
Yang Kun's happiest time is watching the rehearsal of the actors in the art troupe. She can feast her eyes first. Occasionally, Yang Kun would perform with him under the stage, making some uncles and aunts laugh.
Uncles and aunts will joke: "This child is going to inherit the great cause of his parents"! After
grew up, Yang Kun finally had a goal in life. She wanted to be an actress and become a writer and artist like her parents.
saw that she had this idea, and her parents would teach her how to control her expressions and movements at home. With these professional knowledge, she entered the drama in 1981.
and her class include Da , Song Jia, , Zhang Lan, , Li Ming, and others. Among them, Da Songjia has the most exquisite appearance and excellent acting skills. At that time, Yang Kun felt that he was under a lot of pressure and studied hard every day.
It's a pity that she is not good-looking, so she can't receive a lot of dramas in school like Song Jia.
In 1989, recommended by the teacher, Yang Kuncai starred in the work "Sixteen Years Old Flower Season". For the first time in a work, she is not a girl, but a middle-aged teacher.
has to say that Yang Kun's slightly mature appearance is really suitable for such a role. She became an instant hit, thinking that her life would be a big hit, but unexpectedly, the scripts she got were always supporting roles.
's career was tepid, so Yang Kun chose to get married early. At the age of 30, Yang Kun had already married a businessman outside the circle.
Husband doesn't like to be stared at all day, so Yang Kun has never revealed anything about her husband in the entertainment circle. However, the private life of Yang Kun and her husband is very sweet.
It is reported that actors who have filmed with Yang Kun mentioned that when Yang Kun was filming before, a man often drove to pick her up. This man
is her husband. Her husband never got out of the car to visit the crew, but parked the car far away on the side of the road and waited for Yang Kun to come out.
The two often commute together and have a very sweet life. Occasionally, her husband would take Yang Kun to visit her parents in her hometown, but she never lived with her in-laws. When
first got married, her in-laws also expected her to give birth to a child earlier, so that the family could have more joy. But Yang Kun has been busy with his career and has not had time to have children.
In 1999, Yang Kun, who was just married, won the Golden Eagle Female Matching Award for his participation in "Mother-in-law, Daughter-in-law and Sister-in-law".She was so focused on her career at the time, she never thought about having children.
Her husband never mentioned it because he loved her. Later, she had more and more drama appointments, and she stayed in the crew for more than half a year. I want to have a baby, but I don't have time!
In the blink of an eye, Yang Kun was almost 40 years old, and she wanted to have a child at that time. However, her husband went bankrupt again, and the childbirth plan was delayed again. In 2009, Yang Kun was suddenly exposed to a shocking scandal. She was brought to court by the property for failing to pay 45,000 property fees.
At that time, Yang Kun did not show up after the trial, which was misunderstood as "intentional". For a time, Yang Kun was pushed to the hot search and became the focus of many media attention.
Everyone has speculated, why did Yang Kun not pay property fees when he had money, was he flouting the law, or was he really stingy? Public opinion was almost burning to her doorstep, and Yang Kuncai held a press conference saying that he had no money to repay the debt.
It turned out that her husband went bankrupt, and Yang Kun put all his pension into it, but he still didn't settle the debt. In the face of such a big turmoil, Yang Kun did not file for divorce from her husband, but instead concentrated on filming and repaying her husband's debts.
Many people say that Liu Tao is a good daughter-in-law of the nation, and she will never leave her husband. In fact, Yang Kun is also such a good woman. At that time, her parents persuaded her to divorce her early and separate herself from each other.
Yang Kun said: "Husbands and wives just want to share weal and woe". In this way, Yang Kun once again delayed the childbirth plan because of making money to pay off his debts. In order to pay off their debts early, the two had to put the villa up for auction.
With the increase of age, Yang Kun can get fewer and fewer plays, and her income continues to decline.
"Husband, I want to change careers". Yang Kun has several scripts in hand, but she doesn't want to act in any of them. It turned out that when many directors saw her getting older, they handed her roles like mother-in-law and mother.
himself has not given birth to a child, so he will be an old man in the play, which makes Yang Kun a little unacceptable. Her husband did not support her quitting the circle. He felt that participating in the role of elders was also an opportunity, and good actors should not choose roles.
is like this. With the encouragement of her husband, Yang Kun calmed down and gradually moved from a young role to a middle-aged role.
In 2013, Yang Kun starred in " Hot Mom ", in which she played "Aunt Li". An outspoken, talkative, nosy, old aunt who also loves to speak Shanghai dialect.
Under Yang Kun's wonderful acting skills, there are not many scenes of "Aunt Li", but there are countless fans.
Gradually, Yang Kun fell in love with filming again, and the roles she took over were no longer single. In " Ode to Joy 2", she played the role of "Ying Qin's mother".
People who have watched the show have a deep memory of her, and many people attacked her directly. I have to say that Yang Kun's acting skills are indeed sophisticated enough to be real.
Once, when Yang Kun went to the market with a bag to buy vegetables, a young street vendor saw her and threw away her vegetables: "You are such a vicious mother, I will not sell vegetables to yours".
Yang Kun was stunned on the spot, not knowing what was going on. She didn't even give birth to a child herself, how could she be a vicious mother? It turned out that this vendor only watched "Ode to Joy" and was very dissatisfied with her behavior in the play.
Although things are a bit funny, I have to say that Yang Kun is really good at shaping the character. There are continuous drama appointments, but Yang Kun's salary is getting less and less, because her roles are all small supporting roles. In order to survive,
had to find other ways to make money.
03, to make a living, learn to start live broadcasts for young people
Beginning in 2020, Yang Kun has less and less dramas, and even the minor supporting roles are not her turn. She has no children and no daughters, and the younger generation in the family is not too close to her.
Yang Kun can only work hard to earn money for his old agemoney. In fact, Yang Kun has been buying social security in the early years, and now he can get 2,500 yuan per month.
can live in a city with extremely high prices such as Shanghai, 2,500 yuan a month really can't even pay the property fee, let alone eat.
For this reason, Yang Kun had to learn from young people and start live streaming. She hopes to earn a little more money, reduce the pressure of life, and save a little pension for her later years.
Yang Kun, who has no assistant and no one to help, looked very bleak during the live broadcast. She wears headphones by herself, and has to bury her head in reading the manuscript, introducing the products to everyone while reading.
doesn't have the atmosphere of an assistant, nor does it have good equipment. The live broadcast room is even more rudimentary. There is only one mobile phone recording, and no one helps with the beauty. The naked eye can see Yang Kun's fatigue.
's live broadcast has made people realize how bitter the old drama bones are in their later years. She wants to film, but without the backstage and resources, it is difficult to get good dramas. Even if
is invited to film, they are just some insignificant characters who can't make money at all, let alone "make millions a day".
Yang Kun is reluctant to retire. In 2022, she also participated in several works, and last year's "Come on!" "Mom" and "Welcome" and other dramas have received good responses, but there are too few scenes of her showing her face.
Fortunately, her husband loves her very much and has been encouraging her to move forward. She could accept the hard life in her old age, but having no children has become her biggest regret in her life.
If her life starts all over again, maybe she will choose to have children at the age of 30.
Conclusion:
Yang Kun always worked hard for acting when he was young. She once said that what she wanted most was to be a heroine once, a very beautiful kind. It's a pity that she, who is mature in appearance, has been hovering in the supporting role since her debut, and has no chance to play the female lead.
Her current life is very difficult, and she has always had regrets. Yang Kun once confided to himself that he should give up his career earlier for the sake of his family, so that he can have a child.
When I am old, I realize how empty it is without children.
Yang Kun is only in his 60s now, and he can still work hard on his own, but what if he waits until he is 70? Maybe like the Liu Xuehua , he didn't even dare to turn off the lights at night.
It's a pity, there is no turning back in life, and there is no medicine for regret. What Yang Kun can do now is to make more movies, make more money, and prepare for his later life.
