Everyone has his own ambition. Some retired stars like Ren Quan are worth tens of billions and some are artists.

If you are a star with small achievements, there are two ways in front of you, one is to start a business in the sea in obscurity, and the other is to continue to struggle to become a "big star", which one will you choose?

In the current entertainment industry ecology, as long as you become a star, it is almost equivalent to standing on the "fast lane of life".

Traffic, money, status and even power, it is a risky choice for ordinary people and real stars to give up all this and start a business in the sea.

However, as far as we know, there are actually many stars who change careers halfway on the way to the stars. Although they are not in the dye vat of the entertainment circle, they can realize their life value on another track as soon as possible.

For example, the following people 1 1 have "disappeared" in the entertainment circle, but their life stories are better than movies.

0 1, on

Jiang Hua, formerly known as Chen, joined the ATV artist training class at the age of 24.

Waters started from a very high point. After four years in the business, he won the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards with "I wish people a long life".

When he was young, Jiang Hua was very handsome. The Journey to the West, who collaborated with Dicky Cheung, set a record of 44 points at the premiere of the play. The Tang Priest he played was called the "gentlest" Tang Priest in history by netizens.

200 1, Jiang Hua played one of the most recognizable roles in his career as an actor: Ai.

In "Searching for Qin", Jiang Hua's popularity once exceeded, and he did whatever it took to achieve his goal, which became the "childhood shadow" of countless audiences.

Later, Jiang Hua starred in modern versions of Yongzheng and Xiang Yu in the Ninth Five-Year Plan and Chu Hanwang.

In 2006, Jiang Hua, who was in the limelight, announced his retirement after filming the TV series "Hong Fu Nv" with Shu Qi.

Many netizens don't know the inside story about Jiang Huaying.

Many netizens think that Jiang Hua's insurance broker career is "degenerate", and Pige does not recognize it.

Because at that time, Jiang Hua was not without a play. After more than ten years of accumulation, Jianghua also has extensive contacts and resources. As a big star in Hong Kong, there is no reason to "fall to Sri Lanka".

In the subsequent interview program, Jiang Hua revealed the reason for his career change. On the one hand, the recurrence of a back injury made Jiang Hua unable to undertake most of the work as an actor. On the other hand, Jiang Hua himself suffered from depression. In 2006, his condition deteriorated and he stayed at home most of the time.

At the same time, his love affair with Deng Cuiwen is also one of the reasons for his career change.

After changing careers, Jiang Hua lived in poverty and even moved to a village house on the outskirts of Hong Kong.

However, it is not without talents in the insurance industry. After a period of hard work, I went on my way.

In recent years, some media have revealed that Jiang Hua's monthly income is at most HK$10 million. Although this income has not been confirmed by him, from the photos of Jiang Hua before his death, the family is very rich.

It can be said that Jiang Hua, who gave up being another track star, lived an equally wonderful life.

02.Yuen San Wong

Yuen San Wong 1948 was born in Chongqing and moved to Hong Kong. Huo Yuanjia described by him is a wonderful childhood memory of many people.

1989, Yuen San Wong canceled nearly ten movies and TV series, quit the film and television circle, and fled into an empty net, thus continuing his legal name.

Some people say that Yuen San Wong's becoming a monk is related to Angie Chiu, while others say that Yuen San Wong suddenly had an epiphany.

We don't know the specific reason. The only thing we know is that Yuen San Wong has been a Buddhist for 20 years and doesn't seem to have a fever at present.

In 2005, Yuen San Wong returned to secularism. He declined many invitations from film and television dramas and opened a restaurant in America, which did a good job.

In 20 13, the Yuen San Wong family moved to the mainland, and their business was transferred from the United States to the mainland.

Now that Yuen San Wong is 73 years old, he must have seen through many things, such as actors, stars, monks and businessmen. Everything goes by with time.

And he himself enjoys this ordinary and simple life very much.

Kenny Ho in 2003.

Kenny Ho studied in England in his early years and signed ATV after returning home.

1990 made his mark as a hero in China in People Call Heroes.

1993, Kenny Ho cooperated with Jin Chaoqun to play Bao Qingtian, playing a chivalrous and fearless man, Zhan Zhao.

After the play was broadcast, it swept the Taiwan Strait and three places, setting a number of unbreakable viewing records. Kenny Ho, who plays Zhan Zhao, became famous overnight and ushered in the peak of his long-awaited career.

Unfortunately, Kenny Ho fell out with his old club China TV and his new club TVB because he supported his good friend Jin Chaoqun. After coming to the mainland for development, Kenny Ho was acclimatized and never returned to the peak of his career.

20 13 years, after the performance of the older generation hero "Little Swallow Li San", he faded out of the film and television circle.

After "changing careers", he founded "Jin Jiazhuang" dessert and became the "dessert king". He has been in business for many years and is now worth over 100 million yuan.

While doing business well, Kenny Ho often shares some positive energy trends on social networking sites.

In the process of tracking the businessman, Kenny Ho caught up with him at the corner. He proved that as long as he is a decent person, no matter what career he does, he can usher in his own achievements.

04.Zhao Liang

1997, Kangxi's private interview traveled all over the country. In addition to the protagonist Zhang Guoli, there is also an actor who is well known and loved by everyone.

His name is Zhao Liang. In the play, he is the eunuch "Sandezi" of Kangxi.

Sandezi and Fayin are a pair of clowns and are very popular with the audience. His personal scene is impressive.

Zhao Liang was born in 1969 and graduated from PLA Art College. He is from Chongqing.

In fact, after the "Three Virtues", Zhao Liang appeared in many film and television works, but for more than 20 years, people only remembered the "Three Virtues", which seriously restricted the development of Zhao Liang.

Later, he switched to be a director, but because of the market and his ability, he made a loss.

In 2008, Zhao Liang faded out of the entertainment circle and opened a rabbit farm in his hometown of Sichuan, but everything was destroyed by the earthquake.

Later, with the support of his wife, Zhao Liang started a chicken farm again.

I don't want this venture to be smooth sailing, and the chicken farm in Zhao Liang is getting bigger and bigger. Later, he continued to expand investment, including 1000 mu of land, and developed a professional and large-scale chicken raising model.

Up to now, Zhao Liang has earned more than 100 million yuan, which has promoted local employment and economy. "Three Virtues of Chicken Raising" even appeared in CCTV's Book of Getting Rich.

Not only that, Sandezi, a chicken farmer, studied hard and set his own standards for raising chickens.

A man like Zhao Liang, who can become a star and put down his attitude to open a chicken farm, is the real treasure.

05, Zhang Quanling

Zhang Quanling 1996 graduated from German Department of Peking University and was admitted to China Central Radio Station. 18.

As the host of CCTV, Zhang Quanling is very capable, not only hosting Wen Chao Tian Xia, but also hosting many variety shows of CCTV.

On February 9th, 20 13, Zhang Quanling also attended the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and performed the opening chorus "Sing He Xinchun" with 47 hosts.

However, Zhang Quanling doesn't want to spend his life in CCTV.

2065438+In July 2005, when Zhang Quanling's fame reached its peak, she chose to leave CCTV.

Shortly after announcing his resignation, Fu Sheng's official Weibo publicly announced that Zhang Quanling had joined his Niuzi Fund as a consultant.

In this way, Zhang Quanling stepped into the venture capital world and became a venture capitalist.

On October 20 19 1 month, Zhang Quanling joined Junior Get and became the chairman of Junior Get.

Today, Zhang Quanling's career is booming after changing careers. In 2020, China Entrepreneur magazine published the annual "30 Most Influential Business Women in China" list, and Zhang Quanling was on the list.

The scheming hostess in front of the audience eventually became an elite woman in business. For Zhang Quanling, trying more different careers may be her life pursuit.

Business goes up and down, and I just hope that Zhang Quanling will stick to his true intentions forever.

Zhang Li in 2006.

Speaking of this name, you may not be familiar with it, but when it comes to Xue Baochai in the 87 th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions, everyone should know it.

Zhang Li grew up in a wealthy family, and his parents were government officials. It is a coincidence that he plays a dream of red mansions.

1983, she accompanied her friends to the red chamber for an audition, and as a result, she was selected, and her role changed from the first two girls to the later important role of Xue Baochai.

Zhang Li was born with water, and the role of Xue Baochai left a deep impression on the audience.

During the period from 1987 to 1989, she played several different roles in succession.

But later, Zhang Li decided that this was not what he wanted, and went to Canada to study.

1993 A couple in Toronto want to go to the United States for retirement and are eager to sell their house. Zhang Li bought this European-style house with an original price of 270,000 Canadian dollars for 6,543,800 Canadian dollars, and sold it to another buyer at the original price a week later, earning 6,543,800 Canadian dollars.

This allows Zhang Li to see the business opportunities of real estate.

So she started as a real estate agent, and with her own efforts and talents, her career grew bigger and bigger.

Now Zhang Li is a real estate tycoon with his own real estate company, and his net assets exceed 1 100 million yuan.

However, Zhang Li's emotional path is not smooth, and now she is 55 years old and not married.

I hope this most beautiful Baochai can also find her own happiness as soon as possible on the road of life.

Sharla Cheung in 2007.

As one of the most beautiful Hong Kong stars in the 1990s, Sharla Cheung is well known to most audiences. Her retrospect in "The Dragon Slayer with Eternal Tenderness" is one of the "four famous places" for Hong Kong actresses.

Sharla Cheung was born in Shanghai, 1968. Later, he was discovered by Xiang Tai and entered the entertainment circle. He has worked with many big bosses in Hong Kong.

After 1996, Sharla Cheung began to fade out of the entertainment circle and invested in beauty shops, fashion shops, karaoke and other industries in Shanghai.

However, Sharla Cheung, who is absolutely stunning on the screen, is always frustrated in his career.

Due to poor management, during the period of 1999, almost all Sharla Cheung's shops in Shanghai were closed, and he was cheated away by swindlers1000000.

In 2002, Sharla Cheung listed for sale, but only one set was sold, which can be said to be very bleak.

In 2003, Sharla Cheung fell in love with Liu Yonghui, a well-known mainland broker.

20 13 The two married in Beijing in a low-key way, such as living a quiet and free life at home.

Yang Huishan in 2008.

Yang Huishan may not be famous in Chinese mainland, but she has won two Golden Horse Awards.

From 1985 to 1986, Yang Huishan won the honor of Best Actress in Golden Horse for two films, I Live Like This and My Love.

During 1987, Yang Huishan's acting career was at its peak, but she made a surprising decision: stop filming.

Yang Huishan, who left the screen at the peak, suddenly found himself unable to do anything. She learned from other actresses to speculate with the money she earned, but she didn't expect to really make money.

Although her investment doubled and her net worth doubled, Yang Huishan felt very empty, because she could make money casually without blowing off dust, which made her very scared.

She wanted to find something practical to do, so she plunged into the door of glass art.

It is not easy to be a craftsman. Yang Huishan interjected enthusiastically. Because she has no experience, she failed again and again.

From a net worth of over 100 million to a debt of 75 million, Yang Huishan lost all his possessions with glass art.

But at this time, it seems that Yang Huishan's artistic cells are gradually waking up.

Without a teacher, she taught herself from scratch and explored a new technology for making glass crafts.

From 65438 to 0987, Yang Huishan founded the first glass brand in the Chinese world-"Glass Workshop" in Taiwan Province.

With her outstanding works of art, Yang Huishan's glass art quickly entered the international stage, and she became a well-deserved "founder of modern glass art in China".

From a film queen to a recognized artist, Yang Huishan embarked on a road that other actresses never dreamed of.

Once she lost money, fame and honor, she won it back for herself, but not by showing her face, but by craft.

Such a heroine is simply a more powerful legend than in the movie.

Kuang Meiyun in 2009.

Kuang Meiyun was the runner-up of Miss Hongkong. 1982 After the success of the beauty pageant, Kuang Meiyun served as the host of "Morning in Hong Kong" and participated in the film and television work "Xiangjiang Years".

In fact, Kuang Meiyun is unfortunate. His family is poor and his mother has blood cancer. /kloc-At the age of 0/4, Kuang Meiyun went out to earn money to support his family.

Perhaps the hardships of childhood gave Kuang Meiyun a keen sense of business and investment. When the host, singer and actor were unknown, Kuang Meiyun chose to invest in real estate.

At that time, property prices in Hong Kong were very high. Kuang Meiyun used the money saved by singing to buy real estate resources, and often went to the United States and Canada to attend the gathering of business leaders to learn the knowledge and skills of investment.

At its peak, Kuang Meiyun owned more than 65,438+00 properties in Hong Kong, with a value of 1 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

1996, Kuang Meiyun perceived the risk of financial crisis and sold all his property. By 1997, when the price of the property market in Hong Kong was at its lowest point, she bought it again, earning several times in one operation.

After that, Kuang Meiyun turned her attention to the jewelry industry, and she earned1800,000 in one month.

In 2000, she obtained a diploma in jewelry appraisal and officially became a treasure expert. At the same time, she spent 50 million yuan to open a personal jewelry store.

In 2002, Kuang Meiyun spent another 30 million yuan to open a dental clinic chain in Shanghai. Because of her business in real estate market, jewelry and clinic, Kuang Meiyun became the best actress in Hong Kong with a net worth of 500 million.

Apart from doing business, Kuang Meiyun never forgets to repay the society. After earning money, she has been building Hope Primary School in the Mainland.

Among Hong Kong female stars, Kuang Meiyun is probably the most famous one outside the entertainment circle.

Feng Hsu 10

In the case of switching to business, Feng Hsu may be the actress with the highest net worth.

Like Yang Huishan, Feng Hsu is also a two-time winner of the Golden Horse Award. She is more famous than Yang Huishan. 1967 "Woman Xia" once made Feng Hsu's reputation popular in Taiwan Province Province and spread to the mainland.

From 1976 to 1979, Feng Hsu won two Golden Horse Awards for her films League of Assassins and Source respectively.

Because of "Woman Xia", Feng Hsu is also called "the first swordsman in China".

1980 married Tang Junnian, then the chairman of Tomson Group, and 30,000 roses also created a precedent for the luxury wedding of Hong Kong actresses.

1983, Feng Hsu gave birth to her youngest son, and then she shifted her focus from the front to the rear.

The acquaintance between Feng Hsu and Tang Junnian is legendary. Feng Hsu was married at that time. Her ex-husband lost all the huge debts he owed for doing business under the banner of Feng Hsu, but he disappeared.

When the debt collector came to the door, Feng Hsu said that he would take action to make money and pay his debts.

At that time, Tang Junnian was one of the creditors, and they hooked up in the long run and finally got married.

After the death of Tang Junnian in 2004, Feng Hsu took over as the chairman and general manager of Tomson Group.

In 2007, Tomson Bianjian's high-priced property was investigated, and Feng Hsu insisted that there was no problem with his property, and he was not afraid of being investigated or reducing the price.

In 20 10, Feng Hsu increased her shareholding in Tomson Group by15.92 million shares, and began to take full charge of this business empire, becoming one of the most famous female entrepreneurs in China.

At the same time, Feng Hsu's net worth has already exceeded 10 billion, becoming one of the highest-paid female stars after switching to business.

Ren Quan 1 1

1997, 22-year-old Ren Quan called 24-year-old Li Bingbing: "Old classmate, I want to open a restaurant. Do you want to buy shares? "

Ren Quan: We should all know that when Gongsun Ce was a teenager in Bao Qingtian.

Li Bingbing couldn't figure it out, because Ren Quan was really famous at that time, but he had never been exposed to anything "commercial". Li Bingbing doesn't like it. He told him that he could lend him 40 thousand, but he would forget to buy stocks.

With the 40,000 yuan given by Li Bingbing and the other 220,000 he saved, Ren Quan opened his first spicy and hot fish in Sichuan.

Although it lost a few months at first, with its geographical advantages and word-of-mouth flavor, Sichuan spicy-hot fish instantly became popular. When Li Bingbing remembered his 40,000 yuan, it was worth as much as 9 million shares.

So Li Bingbing regretted it for quite a while.

After that, Ren Quan also briefly engaged in performing arts, but finally on 20 16, he concentrated on starting a business. At present, it has the actual control right of 45 enterprises and holds the position of shareholder in 28 enterprises. He invested in a lot of TV plays, and hardly lost money.

Ren Quan once said, "Don't turn an actor into a tool to show off, it's just your career."

After seeing so many examples of stars changing careers, Pigo lamented that everything needs talent, and he was surprised that actors could surpass most professionals on another track.

Of course, their resources and money are on the one hand, but on the other hand, we have to admire their keen sense of smell and perception of business.

There are people outside the world, and sometimes you may change your mind and do things, and you will usher in another great scene.
