Last night TVB continued the second night of their annual dinner with
160 artists in attendance including Fala Chen, Linda Chung, Kenneth Ma,
Nancy Wu, Shirley Yeung, and Eric Tsang. TVB chairman Norman Leung
heavily criticized Ricky Wong and TVB general manager Mark Lee continued
on stage: "The 'Gai Hau Wong' (City Block King, referring to Ricky
Wong) opened up a joint at the block in TVB City's territory. He then
sweet talks young artists into working for him on that block!" He had to
say it so loud, everyone on the block could hear him. TVB isn't trying
to oppose the issue of new free-to-air TV licenses, but [the government]
should not be blindly issuing licenses. The government must clarify the
broadcasting policies. This is arguing strongly for what's right and it
is completely reasonable. Ricky Wong refuted TVB claiming they have
have 10 groups of filming and production staff, and can handle up to 650
hours of drama filming. Norman Leung asked everybody to take a moment
and use their brains to think if that is even possible. He said in the
audience perspective, he supports free-to-air TV licenses, but if a
fishing boat goes out to sea, how many boats are needed to cause an
impact on the ecology?
It was rumored the government plans to
issue the licenses March 2013. Fala Chen expressed she'll be holding
onto her TVB stocks and won't sell, she enjoys being a small
shareholder. Kenneth expressed his support on the issue of new licenses:
"There will only be improvement when there's competition, but TVB will
continue to be the leader!" Nancy reveals she is voting for ex-boyfriend
Kenneth for the 'My Favorite TV Male Character' award. Yesterday
Kenneth attended another event and expressed he feels normal on the TV
King race, "This year there isn't any hot favorites because it's one
vote per person! (Raymond has a lot of fans?) He has a lot of fans
holding up banners."
Also, it is already confirmed Miriam Yeung
will be presenting the TV King award and Deanie Ip will present the TV
Queen award at the TVB Anniversary Awards. The other guests includes
Eric Tsang, Sandra Ng, Ng Mang Tat and the ill Cheung Tat Ming.
