When people are unemployed in middle age, are they still willing to eat?

The key question I want to ask is:

Is it true that you can turn over if you are willing to eat anything?

A recent Hong Kong comprehensive film captured the real post-epidemic ecology.

Where is it? Hong kong.

What occupation? actor

Six old actors who look familiar with the mantra have all lost their jobs this year.

They sit in familiar food stalls in Hong Kong dramas, order good dishes and pour tea.

Began to "sigh the world."

The word "sigh" in Cantonese generally means enjoyment.

But I'm sorry, Mr. Wang said "sigh" in Mandarin today.

A sigh.

Some people lamented that they didn't start working years ago.

Some people lamented that the stage play was extended from April to September.

Someone won an Oscar and only made one film this year.

Some people have a minor operation, and then they lose their jobs.

After a few glasses of wine, the original relaxed atmosphere became so relaxed.

Not surprisingly, everyone is old and young. If there is any relaxation, it is all fake.

Not to mention Hong Kong, a place where "hands stop and mouths stop".

As soon as I stop, I am ready to starve, and I can't afford to buy a house or raise a child.

Speaking of embarrassment, Wilson Tsui, a 6 1 year-old supporting actor, almost choked up.

What cruel variety show is this?

No games, no programs, just life?

Or a middle-aged life with a forced smile?

It's not easy to be a middle-aged man.

0 1

Change jobs.

Middle-aged people are middle-aged. The concept of middle age is 4 1-65 years old.

In this variety show, the oldest China guy is 6 1, and the youngest is 47.

I'm old. I guess I've seen them all after 70 s and 80 s

Wilson Tsui, 6 1 year old.

Look familiar? What "Condor", Duke of Lushan ...

Younger ones, who just won an Oscar, should be familiar to you.

Fu Huayuan, 56 years old.

More than ten years ago, in king of comedy, he shouted, "You are not a takeaway!" A cruel man.

What about another way of performing? Of course.

He can be a delicate, smiling and tearful transgender in Tracy.

With this, he won the Golden Statue and Golden Horse for Best Male Matching.

Another way? That's good.

Uncle with white head and swollen eyes is the same.

△ Ahai in Uncle Li

Time flies, such a hard supporting role, like this now.

Hair is little and white, and people are dry and thin.

However, I really started as a courier and a restaurant handyman ... I will talk about this experience later.

Have another drink. You look familiar.

Mai Bao, right?

Changqing Mai, 52 years old.

He is popular in the circle of Hong Kong drama teachers, and he is equally famous in the miles where young people gather.

Of course, it is not himself who is more famous, but Li Yaoxiang's Liang. Now that people are in middle age, there is a greater difference between people:

Li Yaoxiang has a job, but he doesn't.

The word "eat shit" looks really embarrassing.

This classic Hong Kong drama is called Love of Woman. As soon as the picture changed, a supporting role in the play also lost his job.

Ao Jianian, 47 years old.

The youngest of the six people looks the most "young".

In the play, he plays a simple "ribs" with a poor background.

Nowadays, "ribs" are not working, and they are more worthy of the name.

Come again.

Gu Minghua, 55 years old.

Don't know him?

You haven't seen enough of "Home-made Lingling Painting" ... Did you forget to blackmail the police in Stephen Chow?

Finally, Zhang Songzhi.

If you are not familiar with the post-80s generation, then you are karaoke, and a picture awakens your memory.

People are also acting and acting.

After the introduction, let's see what this variety show will do for them.

No performance, no program.

Look for a job honestly.

And because many of these people have low academic qualifications and have no other skills except acting, the job they are looking for can be imagined-

Temporary workers in various service industries.

This program will follow them all the way, filming their job search, interview and practical work. ...

These jobs also cover the most active citizen fields in Hong Kong, such as deliveryman, salesman and gas station apprentice. ...

Again, this is not "my first professional experience".

This is really a pleasure.

You may think that when an actor looks for a job, everyone is selling face, right?

Hey hey.

How can I sell you face if others don't believe you?

Zhang Songzhi called, and as soon as he said my name was Zhang Songzhi, the phone hung up.

Gu Minghua, a student from a regular class, has been focusing on being an actor since she came out of acting school. When interviewing, first tell the manager, "I'm really acting."

But people play drums in their hearts ... are acting sincere and working sincere?

Even if people believe it, they can lose face.

Foo Wa Yuen, who likes to dress up as a young man, wore a T-shirt with the words "I will call in sick tomorrow" on her first day at work.

Sure enough, the boss was very upset and criticized.

Well, after listening to the scolding, don't talk back, continue to order, clean up, wash dishes and roast geese. ...

The work is trivial, the tea restaurant can do it, and a bunch of skills will be obtained.

Like Fu Huayuan, Wilson Tsui found a similar job as an intern at a gas station.

Refueling, cashier, car wash ...

Changqing Mai and Ao Jianian think they are young enough to run errands.

One chose the deliveryman, and the other chose the takeaway rider.

Before leaving, Ao Jianian dressed herself up to be five or six years old ... After all, she is an artist, and she needs a face.

Okay, you want to save face.

Do you still want to make money?

02

difficult

China guy played most of his life, and suddenly changed careers, all unfamiliar jobs (even if someone worked as a wage earner, it was decades ago).

Time waits for no one.

Physically, psychologically, experientially and technically, they all face challenges.

Zhang Songzhi sells things in the street. In my imagination, I can talk freely. After all, being an actor is propaganda work.

What about practice? Seeing people coming and going in the street, one after another, he was afraid to go forward.

I thought my face value was not bad, and I wanted to get together, but as soon as I took off my mask, passers-by were scared away.

So is another China native, Gu Minghua.

At a loss in the mall, no one spoke to him, so he wandered around with his hands behind his back.

Don't think that he is really wandering, in fact, he is doing psychological construction, which can't be finished in a whole minute.

But compared with actual combat exercises, these are really nothing.

What is running errands?

It is a job that "kills you when there is no order, and kills you when there is one".

Even Ao Jianian, the youngest of them, feels hard.

Now, the appearance of five people and six people is not important.

As soon as he delivered it every day and received the order on the first day, his mobile phone was dead.

What if there is no electricity? One second before turning off the phone, remember those delivery addresses and customer names.

..... often complaining about being late.

I encountered illegal parking in the middle, hehe, a ticket, and a stormy day passed.

Let's see what a forced smile is. Here it is.

Hard work is hard to get up. After a few days of hard work, practice makes perfect.

Behind, a few people gradually get started.

But my hands are ripe and my brain is unstable again.

Gu Minghua, who stands for seven hours every day, is particularly eager to sit for a while.

Every time I eat, my eyes are empty and my mouth is grateful.

The whole person is empty.

You need a tablet computer to make the bill. Of course, the old man wants to pay more bills, but he really can't use a tablet.

Very studious, but I can't read clearly ... too old.

Wilson Tsui, the oldest person from China.

He is more afraid of computers. When he heard these two words, he became nervous. He stood in front of the machine at a loss, just like a pupil.

Yes, this is the simple tanker.

But look at his dullness.

It's not just the slow operation of the machine.

Wilson Tsui is slow in cleaning and washing cars. Subtitles mock him for "elegance", but how many orders can he make a day?

Although he was slow, he finally came to his senses after a few days.

He knows how to operate the instrument and even answers first.

Do you remember what a wheat bag is for?

Express on foot.

Don't think that Hong Kong people are good at English, so is he.

After receiving an English list with only a few words, he wants to pick up another mobile phone and input it letter by letter with translation software.

Turn it out and still don't understand.

In the interview, Mai Bao said that the most regrettable thing was that he didn't learn English well at the beginning, which led to middle age, like a cripple.

But a lame man does too many things and forgets.

Move the goods, check the route, move the goods again, sign the bill ... keep doing it without thinking much, and you will get familiar with it slowly.

The following reasons are correct.

But it is suitable for others, not for waiting for money.

In fact, there are more than these jobs in Mai Bao's life.

Because Liang is on fire, he is still opening an account to show his daily life to netizens.

I also opened a small restaurant to broadcast live takeout to netizens.

This program is not completely boring.

If you make a mistake and lose someone, you will throw a stalk, which is the traditional habit of Hong Kong drama.

The audience laughed and had a bitter aftertaste.

Because we see that in this state of pretending to be relaxed, those simple, tiring and repetitive tasks will not be alleviated.

The fact that they are getting older will not be alleviated.

That's what happened on the show.

Outside the program, anxiety is also spreading.

These six people look familiar to you, but they are living and having fun, and their wages will not increase much, and they will only be three or four thousand a month (Maiyubao).

In fact, their position in the entertainment circle in Hong Kong is quite good. Although he can't reach the mainstream big-name line, he is not a little player who runs around the set casually.

Walking in the street, they can often be recognized.

Even if you can't name it, you will say "familiar".

This embarrassing position makes them more suspicious of themselves as they grow older.

Don't you have a gift?

Can you look back?

This kind of similar question about "taking a step further" is estimated to have troubled them for decades.

Ask when you are young, ask when you are middle-aged.

If you ask too many questions, people will believe you.

Mai Bao said that fame pays attention to time, place and people.

The actor's business is to be poor and rich at midnight. There is no fixed amount, and he often relies on credit cards for turnover.

The income of most Hong Kong actors is far from enough to support their families, and many of them have to work part-time.

If the house leaks, it will rain all night ...

As I said before, someone had a minor operation, and that person was Gu Minghua.

The operation is small, that is, cutting a gall, and a minor illness grinds people.

Further on, he got tuberculosis, and his wife and daughter were sick at the same time.

"That was the lowest point in my life for decades."

Wilson Tsui is 6 1, but in the mainland, many people are preparing for their old age.

But a few years ago he sold his house to treat his wife.

Epidemic and shutdown, looking back on the whole life is three words:

Drive back.

03

Refuse to accept it, okay?

In Hong Kong, the word "money" is very good.

Opening your eyes every day is money, and closing your eyes is money.

Money belongs to many Hong Kong men, even more than Hong Kong-

The beliefs of many middle-aged men.

I was optimistic. I thought Hong Kong and Tulane Peanut could make great achievements as long as they worked hard.

But what about now?

You can look at Wilson Tsui. He has a kind face.

Refuse to accept old age?

But my whole face is old. What should I do?

There will be some highlights in this program in the future. After all, it is a Hong Kong drama, and inspirational is always a big theme.

This has been the spirit of Hong Kong for decades, although it has gradually lost the soil of the peanut era.

But only people passing by know.

"Middle-aged burning" is ok, middle-aged "firewood" can burn, but it will not be burned for a while.

But I can't see the end, okay?

I hope you have time to look at it when you are busy.

You may laugh, you may sigh, your eyes may suddenly turn red, and you may even unconsciously contact yourself.

Don't tell yourself after reading it, it's a variety show, so it's fake.

It may have packaging.

But what it packages is the cruelty and depression that you don't want to see in variety shows. After all, it is a variety show. After all, there must be light and hope.

Refuse to accept it, okay?

Asked this sentence, the husband didn't answer, just sulking in his chest.

Things have changed, and so has life.

There is never an answer to all life.
