Tuesday 17 April, 2007 Hong Kong Former TVB Director and Enterprise General Manager Ho Ding Kwan has been rumoured to be pulling over staff from TVB after his recent move to the ATV board and rumours have indicated that names include Ada Choi, Gallen Lo and executive Ho Lai Chuen. The three were interviewed yesterday by a radio show and they all indicated that they are yet to be approached or contacted by ATV. Ada says that no-one has spoken to her and even when Mr Ho was at TVB, she indicates that she was just a lowly worker and was so busy filming all the time that she rarely saw the executives. Moreover her contract relationship is good, so she most likely will not be joining ATV. If they do approach her, then she willl leave it to her manager to deal with. As for the rumours that good friend Bobby Au Yeung is in ATV's sights, she says she does not know and she will just read the reports and worry about it when it comes along. Ho Lai Chuen has known Mr Ho for many years, but they just talk on a personal level and not about business. He also has not been contacted by ATV, so will he join them if they do? He says it is hard to say, as this year is TVB's 40th Anniversary and also the 10th Anniversary of the return of Hong Kong to China, then he will be responsible for the largest productions and he will definitely finish his current work first. He feels that friendly competition is a good thing and at least this will drive up the salaries for some people. Will he be pushing to be the top man in TVB? He was a little reserved about this because there are a lot of policies in the country and he has been through many attacks and battles in his time, so he has to look at the strategy first. Gallen Lo has also not been in contact with ATV and he says that it will depend on the terms of the contract and whether there are any good scripts. He is quite good friends with Mr Ho, even inviting him to sit at the top table at his wedding. Does he still have a contract with TVB? Gallen feels that it doesn't matter whether or not he still has a contract, the most important thing is that they have a good working relationship and TVB has approached him to film series in the last few years, but he has not been able to spare the time. credits: tvbspace, asianfanatics.
