At noon yesterday, on the 17th, TVB's 'TVB Group Blog' Magazine organised a "2008's Most Popular Brand Award' award ceremony in Hong Kong. Andy Lau (刘德华) and Charlene Choi (蔡卓妍) were awarded as the Endorsement King and Queen respectively. After Charlene split from Gillian Chung (阿娇), she received 10 and more endorsements, resulting in her earnings this year being more than last year's. Because of the 'nude pictures' scandal, the other half of Twins, Gillian's image, suffered a great fall, hence affecting the two's endorsements. Many advertisement companies retracted their contracts. However, Charlene's image was still safe and good, and still received favor from many businesses. For 2008, she has received more than 10 endorsements. Charlene expressed: "Now my endorsement fees are more than last time's, because in the past, it had to be split into two. Though the fees for a single person are definitely less, it's not very significant." When asked whether she prefers shooting advertisements with Gillian or by herself, she said cleverly: "The best is to have both, so there won't be too many advertisements." When asked which brand would she most like to endorse, Charlene expressed that she is extremely satisfied with her own teeth, and she wishes that she would be able to endorse a brand that has to do with teeth. She also likes going overseas to film advertisements, the best thing is if she can go to Europe, the United States and others, so she can film and have a holiday at the same time.
