Suddenly Weekly: Raymond Lam unsuccessful in love, decided to end the couple image Linda Chung & Lam Fung, rumours of their romance had been continuing for around two years. Besides acting as a couple in TV series, they also partnered together in functions to earn money. Recently the PR industry has heard rumours that Lam Fung proposed to “break up this partnership”. Last Saturday (18th) when he attended a function in Malaysia, he publicly declared that Linda Chung is not his ideal girlfriend. It has been rumoured that Fung had been serious about Linda all along, because these two years he had used every method possible but still haven’t been able to win Linda’s heart, even earlier for Linda’s birthday he was not able to see her, so he finally decided to give up being a screen couple with her. About this Linda responded casually, “That’s good then, I can escape now!” In Malaysia the reporters asked Fung about his first concert in June, whether he will invite Linda to be a guest. He didn’t respond directly, and only said the guest list is in preparation. Plus he will invite many guests who he had not worked with before, clearly drawing a line between them. Since Linda and Fung worked together in “Heart of Greed” in 2006, there were already rumours of their romance. Last year they also worked in “Moonlight Resonance” together, where there were rumours that to win Linda’s heart, Fung often shouted meals and invited everyone to karaoke, paying for everything to create opportunities to be near the ‘goddess’. Even though he used many tactics to chase her, but she wasn’t moved, “Lam Fung is a rich guy, Linda’s afraid that he’s only playing around, so all along she didn’t accept him. But to earn a living, Linda continued to partner with him.” In recent years, to earn more money TVB often encourage its artists to appear as a couple. It is rumoured that by appearing as a couple at functions, they can earn at least another $20,000 each. Even though TVB knows that they’re not a real couple, they encouraged them to continue to pretend. In December last year, Linda was photographed on a date with “The blown up version of Stephen Fung” - theatre actor Cliffon, causing Fung to be very unhappy. “He’s already sad about not winning Linda’s heart, plus this news was embarrassing for him. So he complained to TVB and said he doesn’t want to pair up with Linda, hoping to change her mind if he cut the ways for her to earn more money. In the past TVB has heavily promoted them, but now they will ask PR to find another pair. TVB explains that they’re both busy, so they won’t pair up at the moment!” Fung tried to use hard tactics to win her heart, but Linda was not moved. Until the 9th of this month before Linda’s birthday, Fung tried for the last time to celebrate with her. But Linda didn’t want to meet him, so he finally gave up. Last Saturday (18th) Fung attended a function where he was the spokesperson for a coffee brand, he was asked which type of girl he likes, he said, “Ever since I was at school I like long hair girls, plus I like girls with dimples, think they’re particularly cute.” The host asked him whether Linda has dimples? Even though the fans present said yes, Fung said, “No.” This differed from his previous praise for her. Last Monday (20th) Linda appeared for the blessing ceremony for new series “Pong Chung Ling” and was asked about his comments, she wasn’t angry but smiled and said, “I’ve been saying all along that we’re not dating, that’s good then! I can finally escape! Feel very relaxed now! (Did the company arrange for you to appear as a couple to earn money?) Whatever job the company arranges I will do. (Did he say that because he couldn’t win your heart?) No, won’t be embarrassed if we work with each other again.” The reporter had tried to contact Fung, but haven’t been able to at the time of this story. On Tuesday (21st) this magazine contacted Virginia Lok about TVB arranging artistes to appear as couples to appear in functions, she said, “these are the requirements of the companies outside, they wanted rumoured couples for more promotion! (Why are Fung and Linda not working with each other anymore?) Because of time constraints so they’re not working together! Recently there hasn’t been any rumours about them! (Is that because Fung couldn’t chase Linda so he refuses to work with her?) I am certain that they never dated, they’re both from different worlds. But if there’s money to be earnt, then we will arrange for them to work together in the future. There’s also a list of how much the rumoured couples can make: Kevin Cheng (alone): $50,000 Charmaine Sheh (alone): $60,000 As a couple: $130,000 Moses Chan (alone): $70.000 Bernice Liu (alone): $70,000 As a couple: $180,000 Raymond Lam (alone): $80,000 Linda Chung (alone) $50,000 As a couple: $170,000 Bosco Wong (alone): $60,000 Myolie Wu (alone): $60,000 As a couple: $150,000 Couple teams can earn more In the past TVB was afraid of its artistes having rumoured romances, but the world is different now, earning money is the most important. Ever since TVB discovered that couples can earn an extra $20,000 to $30,000, they have not discouraged artistes’ romances, they even encouraged artistes to pretend to be real couples. Amongst the couples Moses and Bernice are not only the most popular, plus Bernice can be sexy when appearing at functions, with Moses they can easily be the highest paid couple team.

aw... the dynamic duo of raymond/linda ends. they were a good combo, gonna miss those days of thinking the rumours were true =P
Raymond is becoming GAY .. sorry fans .. perhaps he's hooking up with Sammul Chan on the down low .. that's why Linda didn't accept him .. not cuz of his $$ .. women love men with $$$$ so yeah .. it's the fag thing stupid.
lame , I don't see how linda chung can be viewed as the Goddess ???? She below average if not annoying looking
Couple do make more but I think Raymond did a right decision on the matter. Maybe he will find someone soon. Lets see who TVB pair with him next time.
well it was obvious that they weren't dating and the whole purpose of the rumors was to advertise for more jobs.
so they are not dating; if that is the case, it's mainly all rumors. i don't understand what's all these comments about him finding someone new or that raymond lam is gay.
