TVB News World - Asian Entertainment News Daily

Kevin Cheng and Adason Lo joined EEG, last night at EEG's Spring Banquet, the news was announced and a welcome ceremony was held for them. It was said Kevin was offered HK$3 million to sign a 5 year contract with them, which is just a little less than Raymond Lam's HK$3.5 million a few years back when he signed with the label. However, Kevin promises that he'll accommodate EEG in launching albums, films and concerts.

'TV King' Kevin and 'Asia-Pacific Most Popular Male Singer' Raymond are both Virgina Lok's favorites. At TVB, they have been heavily promoted all along, but now that the two are with EEG, a battle starts between them. At the Spring Banquet, Kevin did not avoid speaking up to EEG CEO Ng Yue, he said: "I really like to sing, and I hope my wish will come true, to have representative works in both music and film." Ng Yue said without the slightest hesitation: "I promise you that I will tailor a song that will be popular around the world. Mr. Yeung (Albert Yeung) will quickly start a new film for you." Ng Yue gave Kevin a sports jersey as a gift on the spot: "This is for you to wear when you go out jogging daily and prepare for your HK Coliseum concert."

TVB executive Virgina Lok then went on stage and said to Ng Yue: "Last year I handed over our daughter (Mag Lam) to you, you must take good care of this popular Siu Sang!" Ng Yue expressed: "Kevin go down and sit in Raymond Lam's seat, he left already, so take his spot, sit there until the end."

Later, Kevin modestly said: "He's just joking. Really, don't believe him. Raymond's position cannot be replaced by anyone. We each have our space, each will do well." When asked if he'll be competing with Raymond for the 'Asia-Pacific Most Popular Male Singer Award'? He said: "Wait until I get a representative work first. I admit to defeat when it comes to Chok. (Compete for Gold Song Gold Award?) I don't mean that. I just want to have my own representative work, it's just that simple."
