TVB actor Jiang Hua went from being a male idol to an insurance salesman. What happened in the middle?

In 1984, 22-year-old Jiang Hua participated in the third Hong Kong Rookie Singing Competition and rushed all the way to the finals. However, unexpectedly, he chose to withdraw from the competition.

It turned out that he heard that the winner was already determined and was a relative of singer Leslie Cheung, so he thought that there would be no good results if the competition continued.

However, the champion that year was Leslie Cheung, not a relative of Leslie Cheung. Jiang Hua never imagined that one day he would film "Journey to the West" with this so-called "Leslie Leslie's relative".

Two years later, Jiang Hua, who had lost his chance in the singing competition, participated in the Hong Kong Asian Television Artist Training Course.

As a fledgling, he stepped into the entertainment industry and left a "strong and colorful" mark here.

In the training class, Jiang Hua, who has handsome features and outstanding temperament, has always been a dazzling presence. Later, he successfully signed a contract with ATV and became an actor.

In 1989, Jiang Hua starred in the movie "I May You Last". After the film was released, he won the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best New Actor for his outstanding acting skills.

As a newcomer, being able to achieve such results is undoubtedly an affirmation for him and will definitely lead to an extraordinary path for him in the future.

The top management of ATV also attaches great importance to him and is determined to focus on cultivating him, hoping that Jianghua can maintain the ratings to compete with TVB.

At the same time, because of this drama, Jiang Hua and singer Mai Jiewen met.

The two got close to each other because of their interest in music, and soon they both fell in love. However, as soon as their love was exposed, they encountered a lot of opposition.

It turns out that Mai Jiewen is 8 years older than Jiang Hua. She has released several records and is considered a powerful female singer in the music industry. However, Jiang Hua is just a new actor. Some people think that she I want to rely on love to promote myself.

In addition, they all had their own lovers before this, and in the end they gave up their original partners and chose to get together. As everyone knows, the test has just begun.

During this period, ATV was striking while the iron was hot. "Silver Fox", "The King of Drama", and "The King of Kings" were all arranged for Jianghua. Those years were also the golden period of Hong Kong film and television.

Both ATV and TVB have launched many classic TV series. Although Jiang Hua’s roles are good, they have not had much effect on increasing his popularity.

On the contrary, it was his love that brought him a lot of attention.

However, after two years of falling in love, Jiang Hua and Maggie broke up unexpectedly. When he was filming "The Mystery of Gambling", there were rumors of an affair with Wan Qiwen from the crew.

Hearing the news, Maggie couldn't sit still. Although the two had broken up, she felt very uncomfortable when she saw that the man she once had had a new love.

I don’t know whether it was out of selfishness or concern from a friend, but Maggie called Jiang Hua. I guess she wanted to confirm the authenticity of the scandal.

As a result, an accident happened.

As a result of this phone call, the former lovers rekindled their relationship and entered the marriage hall directly. The audience was stunned for a moment while watching this operation.

In 1995, ATV executives wanted to prepare the TV series "I Have a Date with Spring" and invited their own artist Jiang Hua to play the male lead, Shen Jiahao, and was worried about the female lead.

At this time, Deng Cuiwen just returned from studying abroad and found that TVB had already changed. TVB had favored a group of new people and had no place for themselves.

When she was confused, she received an invitation from ATV, so she got the charming Yao Xiaodie in "I Have a Date with Spring".

TVB's approach was originally to give Deng Cuiwen an opportunity, but unexpectedly it indirectly contributed to a "bad relationship."

This drama brought Deng Cuiwen back to the top of her acting career, and also made Jiang Hua completely popular, and the two also fell in love because of the drama.

Not long after, rumors of an affair between Jiang Hua and Deng Cuiwen spread. Words like "marital cheating" pushed Jiang Hua to the forefront.

Compared with the previous scandals with Wan Qiwen that were based on rumors, this time a reporter directly released the photos.

Jiang Hua was photographed going in and out of Deng Cuiwen's home for 6 consecutive days. The two even went to the movies together, while his wife Mai Jiewen was pregnant at the time.

After the incident was exposed, Deng Cuiwen did not expect that Jiang Hua was hiding behind his wife Mai Jiewen.

Desperately, she revealed to the media that it was Jiang Hua who kept telling herself that he was very unhappy with his wife, and she was trying to save a man who was unhappy in his marriage.

Maybe Jiang Hua really said this to her, and the naive Deng Cuiwen believed it, thinking that she had saved Jiang Hua's happiness.

But this man suddenly lost his temper and ran to beg his wife for forgiveness. He didn’t know how to describe Deng Cuiwen in front of his wife.

So, Maggie held a press conference and accused Deng Cuiwen of being shameless and a seductress.

From beginning to end, Jiang Hua, the cheating man, never said a word.

Obviously, Deng Cuiwen overestimated the relationship between her and Jiang Hua. Because of this scandal, her reputation plummeted and she was even hidden by the company.

Many years later, Deng Cuiwen mentioned this unbearable old relationship in an interview and said directly: "I have no regrets in my life. This is the only regret."

It can be seen how much impact that incident had on her. Jiang Hua, who was once silent, did not know whether it was because he had become mature. He no longer chose to escape, but confessed generously: "At that time, I loved Deng Cuiwen very much. I have never regretted it, I like her 100%." ??Regarding the same thing, Deng Cuiwen said that this was the only thing she regretted in her life, but Jiang Hua said that she did not regret it, but everything was over. Times have changed.

Here, I borrow a saying that is very popular on the Internet and send it to Jiang Hua: "Belated affection is worthless than grass."

Although his wife has forgiven him, reconciliation will always leave traces. No wife can take her husband's cheating seriously.

Due to this cheating incident, Jiang Hua's career was not greatly affected, and he continued to have drama appointments.

Deng Cuiwen was not so lucky. She became the target of media siege. Her acting career plummeted, and she was also hidden by the agency ATV.

After the contract with ATV expired, Jiang Hua left the place where he was popular and jumped to TVB.

Here, he did not expect that his first role would be to play Tang Seng, and he would be a "relative of Leslie Cheung."

Although this drama is not as classic as the 1986 drama, the ratings are indeed good. Jiang Hua's appearance made many viewers shout "the most handsome Tang Monk".

Originally, it was just to make Nick Cheung popular, but he didn’t expect that the Tang Monk starring Jiang Hua would also become popular, which was an unexpected surprise for him.

Luck is one thing, and handsomeness is another. The key is that Jiang Hua’s acting skills are unquestionable. From then on, he has been singing all the way in TVB.

Lian Jin, the villain of 2001's "Looking for Qin".

In 2003, he starred as Yongzheng in the time-travel drama "Nine-Five Supreme".

In 2004, "The Heroes of Chu and Han" featured Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Step by step, Jiang Hua reached the pinnacle of his career, but in 2006, he chose to quit the entertainment industry.

Because of this year, Jiang Hua, who was suffering from depression, chose to stop acting and fade out of the entertainment industry.

My wife Mai Jiewen shouldered all the burdens of life. In order to save income, the family of four moved to a village house with a monthly rent of 7,000 and an area of ??67 square meters.

The paparazzi happily ran to take photos of the joke. Jiang Hua said: "I am poor and have never lived in a mansion before."

It took him 6 years to get out of the shadow of depression, and he began to become energetic, but the depression seemed to have taken away his original enthusiasm for his acting career.

Jiang Hua is a man after all. He cannot live on his wife forever. After gradually adjusting to his depression, he chose a safe job under the introduction of a friend.

Some people say that there are only two types of people selling insurance, one is those who have special skills, and the other is desperate.

It’s not a smooth ride for someone who has just started working in this industry. Because he was once famous, many people know him, and someone posted about him selling insurance online.

As soon as this news came out on the Internet, it immediately aroused heated discussion. It was unexpected that the former male idol would choose to sell insurance.

But Jiang Hua was not absolutely miserable. He never minded and felt that he was very comfortable in this job. For him, it is important to seize the time to make money to support his family.

After a period of time, Jiang Hua became successful in the insurance industry. Many friends Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, and Louis Koo all extended a helping hand and asked him to buy insurance.

In addition to work, he spends most of his time with his family. He is also a proper "house cook" and goes to the vegetable market to shop when he gets off work.

For Jiang Hua, there have been prosperous times and downturns, because this is life, no one’s life will be constantly stormy, and it will always give us some surprises.

After experiencing so many things, the current ordinary life is not necessarily a bad thing for him.

In the final analysis, happiness is just living the rest of your life the way you like, right?
