#SHOWBIZ: HK actress Osanna Chiu seeks alternative jobs as TVB work dries up
HONG KONG: The Hong Kong film and television industry has been experiencing a downturn recently, with many actors seeing a drop in on-screen roles. HK01 reported yesterday that actress Osanna Chiu is among those affected. In an interview with the news portal, the 35-year-old revealed that she filmed two TVB dramas last year and another earlier in March. However, she currently has no new projects lined up with the broadcaster and is now exploring other job opportunities while waiting for her next role. "There aren't any new projects planned for now, but I'm doing my best while I wait," she said. "I've been surviving on a basic salary. It's more or less the same." To help with her income, the Forensic Heroes VI: Redemption star has taken on other side jobs, including influencer work and writing food reviews. Chiu also shared that she has been learning yoga for the past two years and is planning to take up sound bowl therapy this year. "I might turn those hobbies into a side hustle in the future," she added. Chiu made her acting debut in 2013 with the sitcom Come Home Love and has also appeared in popular TVB dramas like Big White Duel, Sinister Beings, and Speakers Of Law.

Actor goes to Shenzhen for cheaper tooth extraction
A HONG Kong actor, who is known for taking on five part-time jobs and living a frugal life, opted for dental service in mainland China to save money, China Press reported. Niklas Lam, 30, who is undergoing orthodontic treatment, travelled to Shenzhen for tooth extraction as it was 'nearly 10 times cheaper' there. He explained that a normal tooth removal would cost between HK$700 and HK$2,500 (RM391 to RM 1,416) in Hong Kong. If it was a wisdom tooth extraction, it could range between HK$5,000 and HK$8,000 (RM2,833 and RM4,532). However, he managed to have two of his teeth removed in Shenzhen for only 630 yuan (RM379). 'That's why I chose to come to Shenzhen. What else can I do if I am poor?' he said. Besides his acting job, Lam is also involved in social work, group psychotherapy and tutoring. He works for an online clothing store, too. According to Lam, an actor's income was irregular and he would not be able to support himself if he depended solely on his acting career. 'Do you think Hong Kong actors are rich? That is not the case,' he said. Lam has appeared in TVB dramas such as Hong Kong Love Stories, Forensic Heroes VI: Redemption and The Queen of News. > Tickets to Malaysian singer Michael Wong's upcoming concert in Kuala Lumpur were sold out within minutes, Sin Chew Daily reported.
