Race Wong Threatens Gigi Leung's Position as Spokesperon of FANCL Gigi Leung's popularity has been declining in the past year, so it is no wonder that the company, FANCL, has decided to also sign a deal with Race Wong, of 2R, for her to promote their brand. For a six figure amount of money, Race has shot a set of advertisements for skin care products. It has also been reported that FANCL wants Race to star in a couple more of their ads and so, it seems that Gigi's position as spokesperson has been greatly threatened. In the past year, both Gigi's music and movie career have been quite average. Recently, the spotlight was stolen off her by Fiona Sit in the movie 'Wonder Woman' (女人本色). On top of this, after breaking up with Ekin Cheng, her relationship with her French boyfriend does not seem to be progressing well and so, both her career and her love life seem to be not doing well. But thankfully, FANCL have continued to support her by allowing her to continue as her spokesperson. Unfortunately, due to her declining popularity, FANCL have decided to find someone to help with the promotion. Gigi's previous manager, Ms. Chan (currently Race's manager) has always had a good relationship with FANCL, so it is reasonable that the company was willing to pay a six figure amount of money for Race to work on a single advertisement. As FANCL are also planning to hire Race to promote more of their products, it seems that she is threatening the position of Gigi. Regarding this issue, Ms. Chan commented, "Race has definitely worked on an advertisement for FANCL. We are pleased with the fee and the company has chosen Race because of her fresh feel. (It has been rumoured that Race will be working on more advertisements for FANCL.) Don't say that, I hope there will be a chance to work together in the future." Ms. Chen then firmly stated that Race has only shot an advertisement, has been made an ambassador for certain products and that there is no chance of taking Gigi's place has spokesperson.

kinda stupid...and putting my biases aside as a gigi fan, i really don't think race is going to be more popular or is more popular than gigi...
Hmm...I don't really like Gigi per se, but I do agree...Race does not have it in her to look attractive enough to carry it off as a spokes person
