Artiste Bobby Au Yeung (歐陽震華) worked with TVB for 30 years and the series acted by him always received high ratings. Recently, it was rumoured that TVB will not be renewing contract with 'lucky star', Bobby whom replied he was negotiating about his contract renewal with TVB when filming new series, With or Without You (東坡家事) earlier. As for the last negotiation, Bobby's manager, Lydia received the reply was 'Will look for you if there is any.' Hence, Bobby admitted he felt like he was 'abandoned' and very emotional. It was pointed that TVB senior management assigned TVB Executive, Catherina Tsang (曾勵珍) to 'save the fire' and expressed it was not TVB intention not to renew contract with Bobby, but a verbal misunderstanding. As for TVB Executive, Virginia Lok (樂易玲), she denied about 'Will look for you if there is any' reply.
The manager felt being wrongly accused
Lydia accepted the telephone interview from ON.CC (東網), and with regards to the response from TVB, she felt she was wrongly accused and a need to clarify: "Virginia Lok replied that she was negotiating about the contract but it was not. We were discussing in her office and I heard her personally saying the sentence 'Will look for you if there is any' to her colleague. Thus, it is not said by me definitely. I am Bobby's manager and will receive commission, and it is impossible for me to reduce his workload. Subsequently, Bobby consoled me and asked me if I finally understood the feeling when artiste was wrongly accused." When mentioned about the clarification from the manager, Bobby replied it was normal reaction and defended her: "We worked together for 15 years and how can I not trust her? (Did it affect your working cooperation?) Yes and our relationship is much better than before. She is a very loyal person."
