Since the outbreak of the epidemic, more than 600 TVB artists have lost their jobs and were forced to change careers to become security guards, waiters, and insurance salesmen. Gu Tianle also privately raised funds for unemployed artists, so that they could receive 8,000 Hong Kong dollars a month in relief, such a tragic situation shocked all walks of life.
"Sister" Wang Mingquan At last year's TVB awards ceremony, he couldn't help but speak up for the artists and talked to the company: "If the epidemic situation is better, can the company raise a little salary to encourage everyone." There was thunderous applause from the audience. How difficult is it to be a TVB artist? Where did they go after they lost their jobs?
▲Wang Mingquan said aggressively: Give us a little more salary.
It's time to go back to ordinary people's jobs
Faced with the unemployment crisis, many TVB artists chose to give up their roles as actors and stay in Hong Kong to do other jobs. But in the past, they were usually studying how to act, and they didn't know much about other work skills in the society, so many people switched to "manual work", working as porters, security guards, and waiters...
has acted in Liang Yin, the "Dragon Pan Jinlian" in " Love Home: Happy Express ", turned to work as a waiter in a Japanese restaurant after leaving the nest. In the face of netizens' comments on her distress, she responded on Facebook that there is no distinction between professions, and she bluntly said that she would not admit defeat and would not underestimate herself.

Of course, not all TVB artists who have changed careers have to do "manual work". The impressive "Pork Ribs Boy" Ao Jianian in " Heroine's Righteous Sea Pride " has become a role model among TVB artists from the nest. He not only travels through different platforms to shoot variety shows, dramas and stage plays, but even teaches acting in classes. In the future, he also wants to go behind the scenes and explore the mainland market.

In addition to staying in Hong Kong and quietly changing careers, where have other unemployed TVB artists gone? They chose to join the "Northern Army".
Not long ago, mainland actor Martin revealed through a short video that he recently got together with a TVB friend who filmed together 5 years ago. The phenomenon of collective unemployment, she wants to say that she is not sad is a lie.

Someone else saw Mai Changqing who was volunteering when he was doing nucleic acid work in Guangzhou this year. He was scolded "eat shit, Liang Feihan" in the TV series, and he exploded. But he still couldn't resist middle-aged unemployment. TVB stopped renewing his contract with him. He chose to go north to Guangdong for development. Now he has opened a restaurant. He is both a store manager and a deliveryman. Enough is enough.
▲Liu Xing yelled at Brother Feihan "eat shit, Liang Feihan".
However, there are also some TVB artists going north who can ride the east wind.
In 2020, Myolie Wu won the championship in " Actors please be in place ", and her excellent acting skills made her usher in the second spring of her acting career. In 2021, it will be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Whether they are working as ordinary people in order to support their families, or TVB artists who grit their teeth and insist on their dream of being an actor, they are working hard to move forward and face the storms in life tenaciously. I believe that in the future, taking one step at a time, they will eventually usher in their own spring.
