Jacky Cheung interviewed simultaneously by TVB and i-Cable: “Defining Moment”

With no immediate resolution in sight to the royalties dispute between TVB and the big 4 record companies, Jacky Cheung has been bravely speaking out against TVB and has taken the lead in accepting interviews with ATV in Cantonese. On the day of his press conference [for his album], TVB also did not send any reporters or crew to interview him, causing there to be speculation that perhaps both sides (Jacky and TVB) are not on good terms. Two days ago, Jacky attended the premiere of the Shaw Brothers movie “72 Tenants of Prosperity” as the “male lead”. At the event, with the help of good friend Eric Tsang as ‘go-between’, he finally ‘broke’ TVB’s boycott by simultaneously accepting an interview with both TVB and i-Cable; no wonder even Jacky himself exclaimed: “Wow! This is definitely a defining moment!” Shaw Brothers Chinese New Year gala film “72 Tenants of Prosperity” held its premiere day before yesterday. Most of the TVB artists who participated in the film (over 100 total) were in attendance to support the premiere, leading producer Eric Tsang to give them a huge 90 degree bow in appreciation. In a further show of appreciation, Eric told the artists: “Endless thanks!”. He also indicated jokingly that since Jacky is his good friend, he can “take advantage” and “use” him to promote the film. During the event, Eric indicated that he is “absolutely sure” that TVB will send a crew to interview Jacky. Laughing, he said: “In fact, TVB will also do a “Jacky World” special and broadcast his songs.” Moments later, holding a microphone with the logo for TVB’s entertainment show “Scoop” on the front, Eric went over to interview Jacky, pulling host and reporter Lai Tze Shan with him. Playfully, Eric asked Jacky: “When was the last time TVB interviewed you?” Jacky responded (also playfully): “Well, let me see, I need to count back…hey, am I allowed to sing now?” Then, Jacky breaks out in song, singing the first line to a popular Chinese New Year tune in Mandarin
