Yesterday the press conference was held for Niki Chow joining Richie Ren and Peter Lam's company
Mountain Entertainment (ME) (大岳娛樂).
Her colleagues William So and Wendy Zheng attended to support her. A
magazine reported that actually Niki already signed a contract with TVB,
but then she turned around and signed both her management and singer
contract with ME, which angered TVB executive Virgina Lok. Due to this,
TVB decided to pull out the 'traitor' Niki's latest series
Sergeant Tabloid from the broadcast schedule.
Sergeant Tabloid
was initially scheduled to air in August. Regarding the rumor, Niki
denied she's a traitor: "[You're] gonna kill me, there is basically no
such thing." Niki made it clear that her relationship with TVB had
always been good, and she still has a per-series contract with them.
Whenever she shoots a HK series, she will definitely shoot them with TVB
and she'll be participating in new series soon. ME primarily manages
her work in Mainland, such as shooting dramas and her Mandarin album.
There are no contractions between the two parties, therefore she's not
going back to TVB to admit wrong, but just to shoot promotional clips.
In
regards to her series getting pulled out of the schedule? She said:
"Actually all along, there was no confirmation on when the series would
air, there wasn't an official notice." Niki reveals her relationship
with Miss Lok (Virgina) never changed, she was actually suppose to come
support her at this press conference, but because there's a large-scale
event at TVB, she wasn't able to attend.
Richie Ren reveals,
Peter believes Taiwanese films provide greater space for
productions/creations and so they are planning to invest 9 figures into
ME for their artists to release albums and shoot films in Taiwan. In the
future, there will be more and more artists joining ME. Although Richie
has now become a boss, he will still continue to sing and act. He
reveals he is currently shooting a film in Taiwan, in which he plays a
gay man.
It has been widely rumored that once Shu Qi leaves East
Asia and joins Huayi Brothers, Niki will replace her? Peter denied that
Shu Qi's leaving East Asia and he didn't sign Niki to replace her.
