TVB "takes care" of their artistes by opening doors to the movie industry




After "Laughing Gor Turning Point", the Shaw Brothers will be starting a New Years film "The 72 Tenants" (七十二家租客). Besides inviting foreign popular movie stars to participate in this new film, TVB artistes of course "took care" of their own "kids" (artistes) that are under TVB management. Several TVB artistes will also take part in this new film.

The producer for "The 72 Tenants" Virgina Lok revealed that TVB has arranged "Chai Gau" who recently became very popular, "Long Leg Crab" Koni Lui, Myolie Wu, Bosco Wong, Shirley Yeung and Kenneth Ma to make an appearance. As for their roles, Virgina strongly stressed that it's not going to be minor roles. She said: "How much salary they will get will depend on how much screen time they have, but money is not the point. If they have less screen time, then we'll still give them a big red envelope. (How is the screen time divided?) Everyone will have scenes, there's room for development, it's not minor roles because we want to give them an opportunity, let them do a new attempt for their roles on their own."
