The Hong Kong film and television industry has been experiencing a downturn recently, with many actors seeing a drop in on-screen roles, according to HK01.
Hong Kong actress Osanna Chiu is among those impacted.
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.
When asked if the decrease in acting projects have affected her income, Chiu simply answered: “I’ve been surviving on a basic salary... It's more or less the same.”
To help with income, the Forensic Heroes VI: Redemption star has taken on other side jobs, including influencer work, writing food reviews and more.
“If any opportunity arises, I’ll definitely go for it. I really hope to secure more acting gigs,” she said.
Chiu also shared that she has been learning yoga for the past two years and is planning to pick 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.
