"If there are still people who need it at the age of 80, I am absolutely willing to serve."
"I have made more than 70 plays, some with names and some without names.""But the quality of an actor is that every play and every announcement must be completed in a professional spirit."It is this humble, elegant and particularly serious attitude that makes Che Baoluo numerous.
After 42 years in the business, Che Baoluo has left many memorable roles with his special appearance.The most popular works are "famous works".Jordan chaneditionThe Duke Of Mount DeerFat Buddhist monk in the middle school.Growing up with countless audiences is still talked about by people.
In the "golden age" of Hong Kong’s film and television circle, Che Baoluo also made numerous films.existMiracle, Death JudgeIn big movies, they all had guest roles.
However, how can I expect that things change, and after the climax, it is lonely.In 2003, the TV station offered him a renewal basic salary of only HK$ 2,000 per year.In order to make a living, he has received relief money and worked as a security guard, carrier and other handyman.At the most difficult time, even the mother’s funeral expenses could not be raised.Che Baoluo, who was in the trough, once sincerely lamented: It’s hard to climb to heaven, and it’s even harder to ask for help!

"I want to be an actor, not a star"
"If Brother Xiang is useful to Tengmou, Tengmou is willing to render his services."Many people know Huang Wenbiao through.Teng Yi, Xiang Shaolong’s sworn brother.
Huang Wenbiao is found in both the drama version and the film version of Qin Xun Ji.
He is also known as "Tai Tai Royal Bad Boy" because he is good at playing all kinds of "traitors" such as bullies, creditors and kidnappers.For example, Tianqi with a ponytail and earrings in "Sniper by School Police";The big ear hole in "Clean Government Action";The white-headed tiger in The Apostle 2 has left a deep impression on the audience.

Huang Wenbiao paid no attention to the stereotype of "specialized debt collectors"."Hundreds of artists, it’s good to be the first to find a debt collector and the second to think of me."He said he didn’t envy the main characters. They may earn a lot of money, but it’s hard to do it all their lives.Just to be a supporting role in the third and fourth lines, there will always be a play, and it can be played all the time.
Returning to life, another important identity of Huang Wenbiao is an ordinary fisherman, who helps with transportation in a friend’s fish stall.It is not shameful for actors to sell fish part-time. "If you have hands and feet in Hong Kong, just do it."
For Huang Wenbiao, the happiest moment was when the audience recognized him and said: I like your play."I’m notgorgeousyoung manDon’t mind being a supporting role. I am an actor, not a star. "
"The joy of performing can’t be bought with money."
"I am’ Mai Bao’ Changqing Mai, and you can also call me Extraordinary Brother."Changqing Mai, 54, is used to introducing herself like this.The "extraordinary brother" he portrayed in "The Heroic Love of a Woman" won him the best supporting actor.In the internet age, this role has once again become popular and become a hot second-generation material.
In addition, Changqing Mai’s representative roles include the sand monk in The Journey to the West, You Tanzhi in Dragon’s Eight Branches, Zhao Junhao in Love with Thieves, and so on.
He has appeared in nearly 100 plays, and there are many classic works. However, Changqing Mai said frankly: In Hongkong, it is difficult to support a family by acting alone."Many older actors have to work several jobs to stick to this line."
For the sake of family livelihood, Changqing Mai once moved furniture, made publicity and opened a restaurant.During the epidemic, business was sluggish, and he personally delivered takeout.
In Changqing Mai’s view, life should go on, and acting dreams should also be adhered to."I really enjoyed playing an excellent role, and that feeling can’t be bought with money. That sense of accomplishment is something that another industry can’t give you. "
"It is this drama addiction that has made me do it for decades."
In 2014, 68-year-old Liu Jiang won the TVB Starlight Achievement Award.Honored guestAndy LauKindly call him "Lao Dou" (Dad), and their cooperation dates back to the 1982 TV series.Falcon.
Andy Lau introduced Liu Jiang as follows: In the past 30 years, Mr. Liu Jiang has made more than 100 dramas for TVB.
Many mainland audiences may not remember Liu Jiang’s name, but they will always remember his wonderful performance in a Jin Yong play.In his 56 years as an artist, Liu Jiang has appeared in Jin Yong’s dramas for 17 times, which is the only Hong Kong drama bone that has performed Jin Yong’s martial arts.
In the 83rd edition of Legend of the Condor Heroes, he is the ambitious Yan Hong Honglie;96 editionthe legendary swordsmanIn the middle, he is Xiang Wentian, who is known as the "Heavenly King Lao Zi";In the 97th edition of Dragon and Eight Branches, he became the abbot of Xuan Ci.There is also the 84 th edition of "Swordsman"rivers and lakesThe wind is clear; In the 94 th edition of The CondorironwoodReally, Prince Kang in the 98 version of The Duke Of Mount Deer. …
Liu Jiang plays Temujin in the 94th edition of The Condor.
The treatment of "licorice actors" in Hong Kong entertainment industry is not high, and Liu Jiang once bluntly said:"I enjoy acting myself, but it’s hard to eat."
In order to support his son’s high tuition, Liu Jiang had to work around the clock.Shooting on TV during the day and dubbing part-time at night, there is almost no time to sleep.But like other actors, Liu Jiang never complained."It’s hard, but I also feel lucky. As long as you are willing to do it, you will have something to do without sleeping."
Today, 76-year-old Liu Jiang is still active in the front line. In 2020, he was nominated for the best supporting actor with the Golden Jubilee Building.
For him, acting is a "play addiction"."When I play the role, that kind of enjoyment will make me smile when I look back.""People think I’m crazy, but it’s this feeling, like being addicted, that has kept me doing it for decades."
The above mentioned ones are just the epitome of countless "licorice actors" hidden behind the characters.They are willing to be green leaves and achieve their roles, but they often get a meager salary, and it is difficult to make a living by acting alone.
I once lamented in an interview that licorice actors are always the one who is ignored on the set, and the last scene that stays up all night is often left to the oldest actors, which is unfair.
In traditional Chinese medicine, "licorice" is mostly a drug introduction, not the protagonist, but it is indispensable.
The same is true of "licorice actors". They have no superstar in front of the curtain and no star aura behind the scenes, but they really shape every role with their heart.
So, please try to remember their names. These licorice actors who play seriously and live hard deserve more respect from the industry and us.
