How do Hong Kong artists survive in the entertainment circle? Why are their wages so low?

The salaries of Hong Kong artists are generally low, and they are also cheap labor there. Why the salary is so low is also determined by Hong Kong's own situation. Large population, small population, high prices, natural wages are not much higher.

First, not all places, like the mainland, earn tens of millions of stars. Everyone is feeling that mainland entertainment stars are particularly easy to do. As long as you participate in variety shows and play TV dramas, you can get tens of millions. However, this phenomenon is only aimed at mainland entertainment circles. Looking at the entertainment circles in other countries and Hong Kong, we will find that the pay of stars is generally not very high, and there is no phenomenon of tens of millions of pay. It can only be said that the entertainment industry and the film and television industry in the mainland are just starting now, and when they are still booming, there is naturally a lot of capital invested in them. Stars in Hong Kong's entertainment industry are actually paid very little, and even many people still live in poverty when they are old. This is why in recent years, many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, as well as foreign stars, have come to the mainland to develop. Who doesn't like high salary?

Second, life in Hong Kong is stressful. Hong Kong is a place with a large population and a small population, and prices are generally high. Without a good job here, you really can't live a decent life. In the entertainment circle in Hong Kong, except for the most famous people, in fact, most stars can only eat and wear. It can be said that they don't earn enough money at all. In our view, Hong Kong's economy is quite developed, but most people's wages are actually not high, especially those of stars. They can only call it cheap labor. After all, it is not easy to make a living with such great competition.

Third, the plight of Hong Kong stars, Hong Kong's economy has also been greatly affected in recent years. Compared with the TVB boom, the salaries of Hong Kong stars are lower now. Many people don't watch Hong Kong programs, so naturally there will be no production without demand. Many stars turn their heads to the mainland, and naturally most people are tepid and become ordinary people.
