It is considered good news. (ATV has not pay the salary to some staff?) Hope they will pay the salary since they have money to play around. Life and everything has its ending and we are uncertain about the timing."

Eric disclosed the methods handled by ATV was inappropriate and many seniors loved to use vulgarity. He admitted he will not use any foul words now and said: "Wish them good luck! (Any television station in Hong Kong look for you?) Not filming series at the moment. I did have stage performance to supplement income but hope to film next year. I wish to film movie as series is too suffering."

Mentioning about TVB series, Blue Veins (殭) copied the idea from ATV series, My Date with a Vampire (我和殭屍有個約會), Eric replied he watched the preview and said: "Should be Lam Ching Ying (林正英). We have no authority to ask and everyone knew Lam Ching Ying filmed vampire movies at that time."

(Picture, from left to right: Pinky Cheung, Eric Wan)
Pinky Cheung (張文慈) and Eric Wan (尹天照) remain in contact privately and have to film series in Mainland China frequently. Both went to Huizhou together to attend a company's event and autograph session, and it was packed with audiences. As that day was quite hot and humid, Pinky wore a pink colour tube dress and described herself as 'wet from hair to toes' and this was indeed amusing.

As Eric accepted an interview recently and in order to support him, Pinky bought a stack of magazine related to his interview and she is a friend indeed.
