In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, TVB (Television Broadcasts Limited) is a fertile ground for nurturing acting talents. Since the establishment of the TVB artist training class in 1982, it is undoubtedly the starting line for countless young people with acting dreams.
It is not only a place to learn acting skills, but also a furnace to hone your will and develop patience.
It was here that Ouyang Zhenhua started his acting career. In 1982, Ouyang Zhenhua joined the TVB artist training class with his passion for acting. After graduating, he immediately signed a contract with TVB and began his acting career.
In 1983, he played the supporting role of Yang Xuyan in the TV series "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and officially entered the ranks of the dragon set, although this role is very small, Ouyang Zhenhua devotes himself to it and interprets every shot with his heart.
In 1994, Chen Zhanpeng participated in the TVB artist training class, and after graduation, he joined TVB and became a role actor. Although he only got a few inconsequential roles at first, he never gave up his love for acting.
These young actors come to Television City early every morning, eagerly awaiting a chance to be seen. Even if they were just standing in a corner, and even the clips they were acting out might have been cut, they still gave their all and moved forward fearlessly.
Their eyes glittered with a desire for the future, but more often than not, a steadfastness and courage for reality.
TVB's artist training classes and trick system provide a valuable stage for young people with dreams. Here, they learn not only acting skills, but also tenacity and perseverance in their acting careers.
Every day is a test of their dreams and the cornerstone of their future success.
It is this kind of training mechanism that TVB has become a fertile ground for talents in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Many actors like Ouyang Zhenhua and Chen Zhanpeng started from the trick, realized their acting dreams step by step, and finally became powerful actors loved by the audience.
Although the process is arduous, it also proves that as long as you persevere, you will eventually succeed one day.
In TVB, the word "dragon set" represents the countless sweat and tears paid by the actors. A vivid example of this is actor Cheng Ka Ying, who has a 20-year career as an "On Call" extra.
During that time, Zheng Jiaying waited for the phone call every day with apprehension, looking forward to getting a chance to appear on camera.
Zheng Jiaying recalled that time and said that he would receive a notification note every day with which scene to shoot tomorrow, and sometimes he would receive notifications from several places a day, and he would choose to go with higher pay.
This passage reveals the instability and hardships of Longtao's life, but it also further reflects Zheng Jiaying's dedication and professionalism to her work.
Even if it's just in the corner, it may even be edited, Zheng Jiaying is still fully engaged. His every gaze and every movement is imbued with a reverent exploration of the performing arts.
This perseverance has allowed him to accumulate valuable experience in the day-to-day run.
Ma Guoming's experience is also hard, before starring in "Double Man" in "The Pain of Men", he experienced a long period of obscurity. It was also this period of exercise that gave him a solid foundation for his future development.
Ma Guoming said in an interview: "Although it was a hard time, I learned how to show myself in a limited lens, which has played a positive role in my future development."
This difficult time is a severe test for every actor. Although their faces are full of exhaustion, their eyes always shine with love for acting.
Every time they stand in front of the camera, no matter how big or small the role is, they do their best, and it is this perseverance and love that allows them to continue to grow in their long career and accumulate valuable experience for future success.
These hardships have not only exercised their acting skills, but also honed their will. As Zheng Jiaying said: "That time made me understand that there is no shortcut on the road of actors, and only through continuous efforts and accumulation can they finally be recognized." "
In the 90s and early 2000s, the former cast ushered in a period of opportunity. During this period, actors such as Ma Guoming and Chen Zhanpeng began to gradually emerge and get more acting opportunities, and their hard work and mature acting skills were rewarded.
Ma Guoming played the role of a "double man" in "The Pain of Men", showing his extremely high acting skills. This role allows Ma Guoming to fully demonstrate his acting ability accumulated over the years.
Every look, every action, reveals the character's inner world, he interprets the complex psychology of the character to the fullest, this performance not only won the recognition of the audience, but also let the industry see Ma Guoming's huge potential.
Chen Zhanpeng played the role of "fine guy" in "True Love", and his performance was natural and smooth, which was loved by the audience. This role gave Chen Zhanpeng the opportunity to show his acting skills, and he interpreted the youthfulness and growth of the character just right, making the audience seem to see his own shadow. As a result, Chen Zhanpeng quickly amassed a large number of fans through this role.
Zheng Jiaying also ushered in a turning point in her fate at this time. In the late 90s, he began to receive more important supporting roles, such as Tong Gancheng in the TV series "Genesis".
Although he is not yet the protagonist, these roles give Zheng Jiaying more room to play and allow him to show his acting skills more fully.
The expressions of the actors of this period are no longer just nervous and expectant, but full of thinking and love for the role and performance. Every time they stand in front of the camera, they will interpret the role with their hearts and prove themselves with their strength.
These groundbreaking performance opportunities not only left a lasting impression on their audiences, but also laid a solid foundation for their future success. For example, Ma Guoming once mentioned in an interview: "Every role at that time, no matter how big or small, was a very valuable opportunity for me.
I always played each role as the main character, and this attitude has benefited me a lot in my acting career."
This stage is the reward of their years of hard work, and it is also the starting point for a bigger stage. Their experience proves that as long as you persevere, you will always wait for your own opportunity.
In his acting career at Hong Kong TVB, Chan Chin-pang was one of the actors who chose to leave and seek a bigger stage. In 2002, after 8 years at TVB, he decided to leave and go to the mainland.
Behind his decision is his desire to pursue a higher goal in his acting career, as well as his courage to break through himself.
After leaving TVB, Chen Zhanpeng's development in the mainland was not all smooth sailing. He had to adapt to a new work environment, dealing with different shooting styles and cultural differences. During this time, Chen Zhanpeng participated in a number of mainland TV series, such as "How Much Do You Know About the Flowers in Your Dreams", etc., although he gained a certain amount of attention, but did not achieve breakthrough achievements.
However, the past six years of development in the mainland have significantly improved Chen Zhanpeng's acting skills and experience. He has continued to hone himself in different roles and enriched his acting experience.
As he later said in an interview: "During my years in the mainland, I learned how to survive and develop in different environments, which helped me a lot in my acting career."
In 2008, after a gap of six years, Chen Zhanpeng returned to TVB with the rich experience accumulated in the mainland and a more stable and mature mentality. After his return, he quickly landed an important role, playing the leading role in "Fire Ambition 3", showing his more delicate acting skills and deep understanding of the role.
This experience of leaving and returning enriched Chen Zhanpeng's life experience, and also brought new vitality to his acting career. As he said, "Leaving opened my eyes to the bigger world, and returning allowed me to find my own stage."
Chen Zhanpeng's experience provides a good inspiration for other TVB actors, allowing them to see that sometimes leaving the familiar environment to experience the outside world is very helpful for the growth of actors.
At the same time, his successful return also proves the strong attraction of TVB as a Hong Kong drama center.
This experience is not only Chan's personal growth history, but also a common phenomenon in the Hong Kong entertainment industry: while seeking breakthroughs and development, actors have always maintained close ties with TVB, the platform that cultivates them.
From 2008 to 2016, TVB's golden age ushered in the rise of a group of former actors, including Zheng Jiaying, Ma Guoming and others. Through years of hard work, these people finally succeeded in transforming from the dragon set to the protagonist of TVB, they realized their dreams, and also proved their continuous growth and breakthrough on the road of acting.
Zheng Jiaying's success is typical. After a 20-year career, he finally ushered in the peak of his career in 2008 with the role of "Huang Ziyang" in "The Home of the Heart Storm" and won the TVB Best Actor Award.
This performance fully demonstrated his years of profound acting skills, and vividly expressed the psychological and emotional changes of the characterWhen the award presenters read out his name, Zheng Jiaying's eyes flashed with tears, which was the joy of years of perseverance finally being rewarded.
Ma Guoming's success story is also a touching legend. From an unknown supporting role, he has gradually grown into a brilliant protagonist in the TV series "Genesis", Ma Guoming has proved himself with his strength.
In 2016, his outstanding performance in the TV series "Genesis" won the honor of the Emperor, and the moment he stood on the podium, the surprise and emotion in his eyes were moving, from an ordinary actor to today's Emperor, Ma Guoming's success is not only his personal achievement, but also an encouragement to all those who insist on their dreams.
Chen Zhanpeng's success after his return shows his magnificent transformation. After returning to TVB in 2008, he rose rapidly and starred in many popular dramas one after another. In 2015, he won the TVB Best Actor Award for his outstanding performance in "Lu Han".
This award is not only an affirmation of his acting skills, but also the best reward for his persistence and hard work over the years.
This road to Shidi has witnessed their growth and inspired more young people with acting dreams. Every time they win an award, it is the best reward for their perseverance and hard work over the years.
As Zheng Jiaying said in her acceptance speech: "This award not only belongs to me, but also to all the actors who have worked and are still working hard, as long as they stick to their dreams, there will be a day when they will come true."
These successful cases are not only personal successes, but also the success of TVB's training system. They fully prove that as long as there is talent and perseverance, actors who start from the grassroots can also climb to the pinnacle of acting careers.
Those former actors used their own experience to interpret the true meaning of "one minute on stage, ten years off stage", setting an example for the entire entertainment industry.

Their successful experience is full of love for acting and expectations for future generations.
Huang Zihua has become a pillar of TVB step by step from an obscure small role, this is because of his dedication to acting and the courage to constantly break through himself. He recalled in the interview: "In the beginning, I was just an unknown supporting role, but I never took any role lightly.
Every time I perform, I put my heart and soul into it, as if I was playing the lead role" This attitude allowed him to excel in every role, and eventually won the recognition of the audience and industry insiders.
Chen Hao changed from a model to an actor, and through continuous learning and hard work, he eventually became the leading actor of TVB. He once said: "The transition from model to actor was not easy, I invested a lot of time in learning acting skills, but also experienced a lot of setbacks.
But I always believe that if you continue to follow through, you will succeed one day."
These successful cases give an important enlightenment to all those who have the dream of acting: whether the starting line is high or the starting point is low, as long as you always love and persist in working hard, you will definitely have a successful day.
As the article said at the end: "These former actors have used their own experience to interpret the true meaning of 'one minute on stage, ten years off stage', and set an example for the entire entertainment industry."
