With the help of her executive boyfriend, Daniel Sit (薛世恒), at Neway allegedly propping up the sales figures of her album, Fala Chen (陳法拉) was once the #1 promoted artist of Star Shine International Ltd. Due to her rumored arrogance, Fala Chen reportedly lost support from her boss, Herman Ho (何哲圖), and now she is no longer Star Shine’s main focus. Currently, Herman is shifting all his energy and resources to support his favorite star, Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣). Herman is helping her produce a new album that targets year-end awards. Linda in Lingerie Ad In order to promote Linda’s new album, the release date is set to around the same time that Linda’s new lingerie commercial will hit the street. Linda shed her pure, innocent image in her new lingerie commercial. She reportedly was paid $200,000 HKD to renew her contract as the spokesperson for this lingerie line. Admitting that she is not the sexy type, Linda went from a B-cup to a C-cup with the help of the push-up bra. Although Linda never had a previous lingerie photo shoot, she has confidence these pictures will project a healthy image. Once benched by her record company, Linda’s hard work has finally paid off. With her album releasing at the same time as her lingerie ad, this should help increase the sales of the new album. Herman Ho: “I Will Not Help Fala Again!” Last year, Linda agreed to sign a three-year contract with Star Shine. However, at that time, the company spent most of its resources on Fala’s album, and Linda’s album was postponed repeatedly. Releasing Fala’s album was an order from the boss, and everyone working in the company was required to follow those orders. Many of Star Shine’s people were nice and friendly towards Fala, but she was said to be arrogant and often complained to the staff. Fala’s attitude reportedly did not change, irking even her own boss, Herman Ho. An insider said Fala refused to practice her singing and therefore she has no one but herself to blame for the dismal sales of her album. Taking advantage of Fala’s reported deteriorating relationship with the company, Linda staged a comeback in her singing career. Herman has nothing but praises for Linda, and he stated that he will invest in her long-term singing career. He also appreciates the fact that Linda put all her emotion into every song. As for Fala, Herman said the only and only reason why he signed her was to fulfill her dream as a singer. Now that her album is released, Herman stated that he will not help her any longer. From Fala to Linda Fala’s TVB series, Queens of Diamonds and Hearts <東西宮略> received mediocre reviews, and she had turned down a few other roles due to her illness this year. Although currently acting in Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄>, the drama will not be aired this year. This significantly reduces Fala’s chances of becoming TV Queen. On the other hand, Linda Chung’s Witness Insecurity <護花危情> was very popular among the viewers. TVB even used their story line from the drama to film a special Mid- Autumn Festival promotional clip to further increase Linda and Bosco Wong’s popularity. With her television popularity, Linda hopes to achieve success in her new album sales as well. Asked to comment on her favoritism with Star Shine, Linda replied, “Please don’t say it like that! I am just doing my best!” Fala attended a fashion promotional event on September 25, and revealed that she will film Triumph in the Skies 2 until the end of the year. A new album will not happen for a period of time. Asked whether she felt uneasy about her company heavily promoting Linda, Fala simply answered, “Linda is now being promoted. I congratulate her success.” Creds: Sudden Weekly
So did she do this for the money? Also wonder if Fala really meant that. Fala singing isn't as great as Linda though so...it make sense to promote Linda more because of her potential.
Does anybody know the sales number of her past albums? I don't think any reached platinum level. Her voice is boring after hearing 2-3 songs straight.
