Yesterday, TVB Executive, Virginia Lok (樂易玲) was present at the promotion campaign for the series, Wudang Rules (潮拜武當) and took the opportunity to clarify about Bobby Au Yeung's (歐陽震華) contract renewal issue and 'the reply, Will look for you if there is any'.
She emphasised that they had been negotiating since December 2014 and the department will always participated in the meeting, and requested for the best working cooperation which will not affect Bobby's health, but there was no outcome until now. When asked if any intentions to renew Bobby's contract, she said: "We will not negotiate until May or June if no intention at all and the company did not say it will not work with him again." Asked if she met Bobby again, she said: "Usually will see Bobby after successful negotiation but we had not reach an outcome yet."
When mentioned that Bobby's manager, Lydia heard the sentence, 'Will look you if there is any' from her personally, she said: "It is inconvenient to reveal the details. Perhaps there is some differentiation in terms of understanding between the speaker and listener and I do not think misunderstanding is a major problem." She added that artistes with contract had their own managers and good negotiation was important so as to help artistes to gain the best benefits." When the reporters asked if Bobby's contract renewal issue was handled by another TVB Executive, Catherina Tsang (曾勵珍), she said: "Yes and I will be in-charge of signing the contract."
With regards to Bobby's reply that he trusted his manager, Ms Lok expressed they worked together for a long time and must had close relationship. Asked if she felt mad after reading the news, she said: "The company had its own policy and it is not determined by me only. I am neutral as need to face many issues daily." She added that she had confidence about the contract renewal as the company established good relations with the artistes whom worked with the company before.
Asked when she will discuss with Bobby again, she said: "Will follow up again next week as I will be travelling tomorrow and returning on Tuesday." In addition, TVB senior management clarified that TVB had never thought of not renewing contract with Bobby at all.
Lastly when asked about the details of Myolie Wu's (胡杏兒) contract renewal, Ms Lok replied they were currently negotiating and said: "She is filming in Beijing now and will try our best to discuss with her again after her return."
As for Bobby, he accepted a telephone interview from ON.CC (東網) and immediately defended Lydia with regards to Ms Lok's comment. Bobby expressed that he worked with Lydia for more than 10 years and had complete trust in her. He added he left the contract renewal issue to her entirely and said: "Lydia and Catherina know each other well."
When mentioned that Virginia emphasised the sentence, 'Will look for you if there is any' was a misunderstanding, Bobby said: "We only thought of getting justice regardless of any misunderstandings. It is better to have more voices than 1 voice only. Everyone wants to know the definition and I want to learn it as well."
Bobby added that he was in the industry for many years and wished to understand the operations of the television station, and could resolve any misunderstandings without blowing the matter up.
