TVB has announced its policy on reduced work hours last week, ordering that production teams should not film more than 10 hours per day. Kate Tsui (徐子珊), who has been busy shooting Midas Touch <點金勝手>, said she is happy that TVB has finally stepped up to change its work policy, as it can guarantee their artists to have sufficient rest. Despite this, Kate said she did not feel that much had changed in her work schedule. She laughed, “I’ve been filming so much I feel dazed. I haven’t noticed if there were any changes to my schedule. I just remember that I had work from late afternoon to 5 a.m. in the morning two days ago.” Kate admitted that she wanted TVB to change things a bit around more, saying, “The humble worker that I am is really greedy. I would be most happy with a pay raise!” Earlier, former Miss Hong Kong contestant Erica Yuen (袁彌明), currently a freelance artist, publicly criticized TVB’s poor-quality productions and management, going so far to saying that she would not return to TVB even if she lost all her current jobs. She also spilled that TVB had rejected her request for an early contract termination several times in 2007. Kate expressed that she has no right to comment as she is unfamiliar with Erica’s work schedule, but acknowledged that she has always been on the brighter side of the road herself. “I’ve been very fortunate. I was able to get jobs and earn money right after competing in the pageant. I hope everyone will continue to work hard.” Creds: Ming Pao
