Amigo Chui Steps Down From On-Screen, Virginia Lok Suggests Saturday February 19, 2011 Hong Kong Amigo Chui's appearance on "Jade Solid Gold" last month could be his last on-screen appearance. Once a successful artist, the 2007 "TVB Anniversary Most Improved Actor" winner has encountered events that greatly ruined his image. He was accused of allegedly beating his girlfriend in 2009, and finally returned to work in mid-2010. But several months later, he was accused of allegedly drunk-driving and driving during license suspension. With negative news hitting on him, the 31-year-old doesn't have much jobs to do; but his contract with TVB won't end until a few years later. Now TVB executive Virginia Lok is suggesting him to step down and tries working behind-the-screen. "We've talked on the phone and discussed about future plans. He is talented, but he affected himself. To be honest, his glamous life won't return in a short period of time. He is still young, maybe he can try working behind-the-screen," she said. Lok expressed it's not like the company isn't giving him any chance, it's important whether audiences accept him or not. "If audiences don't accept him, even if we arrange him to work, people might complain and that would actually affect him more." As for Lok's suggestion, Chui expressed he needs time to think about it. The two will meet again next week to discuss more about the matter. credits: asianfanatics.
at least TVB is still giving him opportunities even though it is behind the scenes. he should take the opportunity given in hopes to get another chance down the road to be popular again or just switch careers.
Behind the scenes work will take pressure off during a rather difficult period. He might return in future?!
