Amigo Chui's reputation damaged, singer dreams are over too Due to Amigo Chui being involved in a case of assaulting his girlfriend Elizabete Kwong, besides losing all his current hosting jobs, it was said that a year ago Amigo won TVB general manager Stephen Chan's favor as he secretly signed Amigo for record company Warner Music. Initially Amigo was scheduled to step into the music industry as a male newcomer this year, releasing a debut album. Now that incident happened, his singer dreams are gone. It turns out that this multi-talent "golden host" had always dreamed to become a singer, therefore besides arranging Amigo to host for , Stephen also wanted to arrange him to group sing with ability card singers including Eason Chan, Kay Tse, Khalil Fong and at17 in order to pave his singing career. After pushing Amigo out in support to Warner Music, Warner was also waiting for a good time to help him release an album, but it probably won't happen now. At the end of last year (2009), Warners already prepared to start recording for Amigo's single and the album was scheduled to release March-April. Because of Amigo's assaulting case and that TVB had copyright disputes with Warner (part of HKRIA), it looks like Amigo's dreams are over. Yesterday both Warner and TVB spokesperson (Virgina Lok) admitted that Amigo's album production is facing obstacles, because the contract had not been set yet, recording never happened. Asked if Amigo's chances were affected due to being involved in an assaulting case? Warner Music expressed that first let the incident cool down before reconsideration. Virgina said that even if the incident never happened, recording would not happen yet and probably won't be releasing his album in the near future. However, those two factors do play a role in creating obstacles for Amigo. TVB and Warner will discuss before reconsidering. Also, Patrick Tang who is currently under Universal also got affected. In other news, Virgina was asked about Amigo's condition. Virgina expressed that she has talked to Amigo over the phone and he is still feeling very down. Police is working on the case and there is no set time that Amigo will be reappearing. Source: Oriental Daily Translated by: aZnangel @ *******
it's just unfortunate. amigo doesn't even seem like the person that would do such a thing. i await to hear the result of this 'case' if you will.
He deserved it. Whether this has really damaged his reputation and destroyed his dream to become a singer still remain to be seen. We all know that anything can happen in showbiz. The fact that TVB GM favors Amigo so much; he might get other opportunities once these scandals and allegations cleared up or when the news died down. I am sure the GM will not kick him to the curb and proved that he can't make sound judgment by promoting a loser. Saving face is a big Chinese thing after all, isn't it??
