Jinny Ng (吳若希) has once again snagged the Song of the Year title at TVB’s annual Jade Sold Gold Music Awards, which were held last weekend. Her song “The Secret of Tears” <眼淚的秘密> defeated Liza Wang’s (汪明荃) hot favorite Limelight Years <華麗轉身> in winning JSG’s Gold Song Gold Award, the highest honor for the awards ceremony. This year is Jinny’s second year in winning the title. The 23-year-old’s win, however, didn’t seem to be widely recognized by netizens. According to rumors that were being spread online, Jinny only won the award because she agreed to extend her TVB management contract to five more years. Jinny reportedly had only three years left in her contract before receiving the Gold Song Gold Award. In regards to this rumors, Jinny said, “The contract was extended a long time ago. It has nothing to do with exchanging awards. The award was determined by results from the TVB Fun app and the public opinion program. Of course, singers who didn’t attend the awards show didn’t win anything. An accounting firm also verified the votes and points, so I don’t think it has anything to with my contract.” When asked to confirm if Jinny had indeed extended her TVB contract to another five years—totaling eight years—Jinny appeared hesitant. She said her contract with TVB is confidential business information so she cannot disclose anything. Creds: Oncc
Why did she have to be hesitant when asked about the contract extension if it was just made up news? I would have thought it was just another made up rumour about exchanges of awards for contracts like it has been every year. But her answer to reporters just makes this rumour seem suspiciously true.
