TVB actors are many things: accomplished, gorgeous and charismatic. Of course, they embody many other traits as well but that will take up way too much space.
And it seems that they are far from being done too, as they appear poised to be slapped with an additional tag pretty soon. Though contrary to what their preceding traits may indicate…
This one might not exactly… be a welcome one.
TVB Allegedly Going to Add a New Clause in Their Contracts Regarding Artistes’ Behaviours Like Scandals
According to reports, TVB is allegedly creating a clause that will impose limits on its artistes’ behaviour.
The restriction, which will reportedly be added to new contracts soon, is said to have come off the back of Chinese authorities’ increased scrutiny (of artiste conduct) in recent years.
Apparently, performing artistes will be contractually obligated to abstain from behaviours such as prostitution, gambling, drug use, participation in divisive speech and the encouragement of Hong Kong independence.
Should they flout the rules and cause negative consequences, they would have to bear responsibility for financial losses.
According to the report, two-time Best Actress Nancy Wu (胡定欣) would be among the first batch of artistes to be affected by the new clause. When contacted, however, Wu said that she was unsure about the new clause and declined further comment.
Scandals
To date, numerous TVB artistes’ personal scandals have caused the station to suffer monetary losses.
Jacqueline Wong’s high-profile affair with Andy Hui, for instance, reportedly caused the station to lose $100 million Hong Kong dollars.
Apart from being released from advertising contracts, Wong’s scenes in the television series Forensic Heroes <法證先鋒IV > also had to be re-shot in their entirety.
Similarly, Ashley Chu and married actor Jackson Lai, who cheated together on each other’s partners, were ‘frozen’ by the station, which reportedly caused TVB to suffer monetary losses of an unspecified amount.
On the other hand, best actress Ali Lee was removed from four dramas, public appearances and endorsements after adopting a pro-democracy stance, which reportedly annoyed Chinese viewers.
According to the report, many recent TVB dramas have either been Mainland collaborations or shows with confirmed airing slots in China. As such, they are required to comply with Chinese regulations.
