Actors and Authors have unstable careers

The creative industry promises fame and fortune if you are a popular actor or writer.The creative industry is not a stable career.Like musicians and painters sometimes the chance of making money depends on luck and the support of fans So i find that financial security is lacking in the creative industry.Many not so famous actors and singers in Hong Kong need to turn to gig economy,working as hawkers,security guards or waiters to support their family. So pragmatic for artists and entertainers to acquire more skills to support the family as talent alone cant feed the family.At the end of the day,at least an honest days work is not glamourous but pays the bills. A trade union for artists would ensure better security like pensions in old age.I really take my hats off to musicians and artistes who give their all to chase their dreams. I really admire multi talented artistes like Bob Dylan who is a fantastic portrait painter and a renowned composer and singer who won the Nobel prize for poetry or the sexy bombshell Sharon Stone in her acting skill and now transition to an abstract expressionist artist.But how many artistes are multi talented like Nicholas Tse who can sing,act and cook.So there needs to be some social security support for artistes in our modern world.
