Once desperate for the Best Actress Award, Sheren Tang finally became TV Queen depending on her role as "4th Mistress" in <Rosy Business>. TVB immediately started a new sequel series with the original cast. The media received news that the TV Queen Sheren self boosted her value in the series right before filming started. The original HK$15,000 per episode was pushed up to HK$30,000. The TV Queen lion opening her big mouth, TVB initially wanted to replace her, but had already helplessly announced to the Advertisers and oversea channels that <Rosy Business 2> was going to happen. Therefore, for this reason changing of roles failed and also they had to save on production cost, so they decided to reduce Sheren's screen time. The female lead "4th Mistress" turned into a supporting role. Caption besides Pierre Ngo's Photo: Regarding to the news about Sheren, Pierre Ngo has not seen Sheren yet, he expressed over the phone: "The Producer told me that they'll be shooting my scenes first in the next few days."
Wonder how many days do they take to finish one episode cause $30,000 doesn't seem like a lot for someone like her.
i think she deserves it with her experience and all. tvb sucks .. cuz of its dominance in the industry over in hk .. it forces artists to subject to condition .. no difference from slavery treatment .. that's how i see it.
hope they dont kill the rosey 2 because of the reduce screen time. If they are really reducing her time, tvb are really stupid for that and gonna lose money because no one is gonna watch it
