Before joining TVB, Chen Rongjun once worked as a dragon and tiger martial arts master. Later, he found it too hard and switched to being an air-conditioner master and taxi driver.
One time when he was driving a taxi, he met Uncle Zhan, which started his acting career.
"He got in the car and went to Tai Hang Trail. I said yes, thank you. He said, boy, you don't seem to be driving a taxi. I said, can you tell if you are driving a taxi? He said that taxi drivers don't say thank you. I He said that I am an air-conditioner, but he said that you don't look like it either. Have you ever thought about becoming an artist? "
Because of this conversation, Chen Rongjun gave his phone number to Uncle Zhan. Soon after, TVB actually called. He also successfully graduated from the training class when Chen Rongjun was 29 years old.
[Being highly praised but not wanting to be the protagonist]
's first drama after joining TVB, Chen Rongjun has already served as the second male lead in "Chu Liuxiang: The Legend of the Bat". The male lead is the third brother Miao Qiaowei who is half the world famous.
He later played important roles in "The Prodigal Son" and "Guangdong Iron Bridge III", but he did not want to be the protagonist.
Because when the protagonist was reading the script, in addition to his own part, he also had to take care of other roles. He spent so much time that he had no time to work part-time as he had to pay for the mortgage at the time.

So, he went directly to the manager of the Artists Department. He said: "I don't want to be the protagonist. It's very hard. I work day and night and the salary is not enough. I have to pay for the house at that time, and I don't have time to work part-time. , I don’t have time to take care of so many scripts. Then he responded to me with foul language and asked me what do you want to do? I told Uncle Xiao Sheng that I wanted to be a villain, and he asked me to be a villain in the future." "Quan Guanqing" in "The Legend of the Deer and the Cauldron", "Feng Jizhong" in "The Deer and the Cauldron", and "Lao Ai" in "The Legend of Qin" are all masterpieces in which Chen Rongjun plays the villain.
[Being maliciously teased by actors with backing]
Although Chen Rongjun joined TVB for a long time, even in the 2000s, more than ten years after joining TVB, he would still be teased.
Once when he was about to shoot an emotional scene, an actor maliciously made noise to distract him from the scene, which made Chen Rongjun want to leave the company at that time.
"He kept making noises during my emotional scenes. I wanted to film the emotional scenes and I wanted to cry. I asked them to be quiet for three seconds or five seconds, and then they started to argue again. The protagonist has already told me that there is no way, he has two very powerful people. "
" At that time, I told my former wife about this matter. I said that I was being teased like this and I didn’t want to do it. My previous wife said that she supported my decision but asked me to think about it. "My daughter wants to study abroad, can you handle it?"
In the end, Chen Rongjun did not leave out of anger, but this incident made him deeply unhappy until it finally broke out in an interview two years ago.

The actor is still with the company, but he doesn't want to talk too much now. He is about to retire anyway, so there is no point in saying bad things about the company.
