In collaboration with EEG (whose artists often appears in television series), TVB will go talent hunting. Together with the talent hunters of EEG, TVB will go out on the street and look for 20 suitable (young) candidates and make them a star. The difference is, these 20, probably very goodlooking, youngsters will be followed from the day of their discovery till the day of complete stardom or complete disaster. TVB executive, Lok Yi Ling: "EEG is famous for their ways of promoting completely unknown teenagers to the hottest celebrities. And TVB is famous as the place of birth for the legendary actors and actresses like Tony Leung and Andy Lau I believe this colaboration will not only produce the next generation Heavenly Kings and Queens of music, but it with time we certainly can create the next generation "sun wah" (myth, fairytale). Someone who excells in acting and singing like Andy Lau!" As of now, this project is still in planning phase. Because this project might span several years, TVB is thinking of using their Pearl channel, website and their low-viewerstime to broadcast this show. Which is also the time that will attract the dedicated audience, the teenagers of hong kong. (eg. TVB usually only airs their series in primetime. In the daytime they usually airs reruns, mtvs and cartoons)
