If you are a moderately successful star and there are two paths in front of you, one is to start a business anonymously, and the other is to continue to strive to become a "big star", which one will you choose?

In the current entertainment industry ecosystem, becoming a star is almost equivalent to being on the "fast lane of life."

Traffic, money, status and even power, giving up all these to start a business overseas is a very risky choice not only for ordinary people, but also for real stars.

But in our understanding, there are actually many stars who changed careers halfway through their career. Although they are not in the entertainment industry, they have realized their life value on another track.

For example, the following 11 people have "disappeared" in the entertainment industry, but their life stories are more exciting than the movies.

01. Jiang Hua Jiang Hua, formerly known as Chen Muhua, joined the ATV artist training class at the age of 24 and entered the industry.

Jiang Hua has a high starting point. After 4 years in the industry, he won the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for "May You Live Longer".

Jiang Hua was handsome when he was young. He once collaborated with Zhang Weijian in "Journey to the West". This drama set a ratings record of 44 points when it first aired. The Tang Seng he played was called the "gentleest" Tang Seng in history by netizens.

In 2001, Jiang Hua played one of the most recognizable roles in his acting career: Lao Ai.

In "Looking for Qin", Jiang Hua's popularity once surpassed that of Louis Koo. He did whatever it took to achieve his goals and became the "childhood shadow" of countless viewers.

After that, Jiang Hua successively starred in the modern versions of "Yong Zheng" and Xiang Yu in "The Supremes" and "The Heroes of Chu and Han".

In 2006, Jiang Hua, who was in the limelight, announced his retirement after cooperating with Shu Qi in the TV series "The Girl in the Red Whisper".

Regarding Jianghua Xiying, many netizens do not know the inside story.

Many netizens believe that Jiang Hua's change of career as an insurance agent is "degradation", but Pi Ge does not agree.

Because at that time, Jiang Hua didn't have anything to film. After more than ten years of accumulation, Jiang Hua also had a wide network of contacts and resources. As a big star in Hong Kong, there was no reason to "sink to this".

In a subsequent interview program, Jiang Hua revealed the reasons for his change of career. On the one hand, the recurrence of his back injury made Jiang Hua unable to take on most of the work of an actor.

On the other hand, Jianghua himself suffers from depression. His condition worsened in 2006 and he spends most of his time at home recuperating.

At the same time, the scandal between him and Deng Cuiwen was also one of the reasons for his career change.

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

However, Jiang Hua was not without talent for the insurance industry. After a period of hard work, he got on the road.

In recent years, the media has revealed that Jiang Hua’s monthly income at most is tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Although this income has not been confirmed by him, judging from the photos of Jiang Hua’s life, the family is living a very happy life.

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

Some people say that Huang Yuan-shen's becoming a monk was related to Zhao Yazhi, while others say that Huang Yuan-shen had a sudden epiphany. We don't know the specific reason.

, the only thing I know is that Huang Yuanshen has been in Buddhism for 20 years, and it is not like a temporary hothead at all.

In 2005, Huang Yuanshen returned to secular life. He declined many invitations from film and television dramas and opened a restaurant in the United States, which was doing well.

In 2013, Huang Yuanshen's family moved to the mainland, and his business shifted from the United States to the mainland.

Today, Huang Yuanshen is 73 years old. He must have seen through many things, whether it is an actor, a celebrity, a monk, or a businessman. Everything has passed away with time, and he himself enjoys this kind of ordinaryness very much.
