Hong Kong star works as a construction worker at the age of 40, revealing that 75 artists do not earn as much as him, working 15 hours a day
40-year-old Wu Haokang entered the entertainment industry in 1999 through the "Global Chinese Rookie Competition". At the beginning of November last year, he ended his 20-year relationship with Emperor Entertainment and announced that he would become a construction site worker and share his construction site life on social **.
Recently, in an interview with his YouTube channel, he claimed that 75% of artists earn less than construction workers, and because he has two reasons, he would rather be a construction worker than borrow money.
Wu Haokang once participated in "The Rookie" at the age of 16 and signed a contract with Emperor, known as the beautiful version of Eason Chan. However, at the peak of his career, he was convicted of possession of dangerous drugs, which led to a low ebb in his career.
He said that his low tide was all found and caused by himself. Today, he is 40 years old, and in order not to borrow money from others, he has chosen to work as a scaffolding worker on a construction site.
His son is one and a half years old, and he wants to be able to create a positive image in front of him. He said frankly: "I don't want my son to hear the outside world say, 'Dad, you go and lend me money to buy diapers.'"
I can't make money by singing, I'm just doing other jobs to make money. He was previously involved in the erection of the East Lobby for Asia Expo.
Wu Haokang bluntly said that the construction site is more difficult than the filming environment, he revealed that he is currently working on the construction site from Monday to Thursday, and in order to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning for breakfast, he needs to get up at 5:45 a.m.: "You have to have a short personal time. ”
Because he usually goes to the site at 8 o'clock to start work, finishes work at 5 o'clock at dusk and goes home to take a shower to see if his wife has anything for him to buy, and then immediately goes back to the studio to teach students to sing and teach until 11 o'clock.
Even if I'm a pure singer, I might feel very tired, but I don't have anything to do. At the same time, he also mentioned that the environment in which the film was shot was very harsh, even harder than the construction site.
He pointed out that many people think that celebrities have an easy life and can sit there and eat, but in fact, only those who are very popular can enjoy this treatment, otherwise, they will face a dusty environment.
Earlier last year, bamboo shooter Wu Haokang had already started working on the construction site. However, it wasn't until November that he made the news public. He explained that when he started working on the construction site, a lot of people would shoot **, and he was annoyed by it.
Although he knew that these people were public figures and it was not illegal to just photograph him, such behavior made him uncomfortable. He said that if he hadn't said it publicly, people might have been as curious about his work as they had discovered the New World.
However, when he opens up about his work, people don't need to be so curious anymore.
He bluntly stated that he had only one goal in his construction career, and that was to make money, not to gain admiration or criticism from others. If he wanted to put on a show, he would have started it many years ago.
If you know of a job that will make him money, you can always contact him.
As far as I know, about 75% of Hong Kong artists do not earn as much as construction workers, and we should respect the resilience of Hong Kong artists who can persevere in the face of difficulties. ”
He once heard a passage about himself, which made him deeply realize that there is no place in the entertainment industry that can accept him. According to him, "TVB doesn't accept him, VIUTV thinks he's old, mainland?
Looking at the attitude of his company, you can see that he has no way out, and he is not needed. He felt that the description was very apt, "There is no place where I can settle down, so I myself wondered, what can I do?" ”
Wu Haokang faced everyone's questions about whether he gave up his career as a singer, and recently he responded to the praise of netizens, saying that he did this job to make more money to support his dream of stardom, and he firmly said: "I will not give up, I will use practical actions to realize my dream." ”
Wu Haokang once shared an interesting experience. He said that when he first went to the construction site to look for work, he was deliberately given a hard job. However, when he actually went to work on the construction site, the other party expressed surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to really come, I won't buy you." ”
It made him feel very warm and happy. After that, the builder also invited Wu Haokang to the annual dinner. He said he was very pleased with the invitation.
He recalls the colleague asking him if there would be fans holding up signs in support of him. He said that although he didn't, the thought made him feel very warm and grateful.
