    Eric Tsang apologizes to Virgina Lok for the <72 Tenants> pay misunderstanding

    Kitty Yuen and Eric Tsang attended a public event yesterday. Regarding to the big fuss at the <72 Tenant Prosperity> dinner (about TVB artists getting no pay), Eric who started the misunderstanding caused trouble to the friends around him, such as Virgina Lok. Causing so much trouble, he sends his apologies and said that <72 Tenants> both the cast and behind the scenes crew are like a big family, producing two big films for TVB within a year. Speaking of his dinner speech, Eric said: "I just felt that television artists who are involved in the film industry do not get the full market prices. I hope there will be more and more jobs for the film industry, television stars can receive a pay increase! <72 Tenants> had no participating artist not receiving pay, actually they got more then participating in TVB programs! Like Jacky Cheung, he got the full amount."

    As to iCable and the "Big 4" record companies hostility with TVB, Eric said: "Just like Jacky, it is clearly separated. Film promotion, he will definitely do, but as for his new album there is no reason why he should be a traitor!" Eric frankly said that the group who gets impacted the most is probably the group of newcomers: "Because how much money is distributed won't be going into their pockets, actually they'll have a lower opportunity for more plugged songs."
