Christine boycotts "Will Power" promotions

22 Oct – Rumour has it that actress Christine Ng has boycotted the promotional activities for her latest TVB drama, "Will Power", to show her dissatisfaction towards TVB's preferential treatment to Fala Chen.

HK Channel website reported that the 44-year-old actress was nowhere to be seen during the two promotional events last week, allegedly due to TVB's decision to emphasise Fala Chen's role in the drama rather than hers.

Sources claimed, "Christine is unhappy. In the series, her role is linked to lead stars Wayne Lai and Moses Chan in that her character has had relationships with them. Christine thought she would get more screen time. But TVB instead asked the producer to add more scenes with Fala and cut Christine's in a bid to get Fala to renew her contract with the company."

As a result, Christine spent her time vacationing in Paris with good friends Julian Cheung, Anita Yuen and Calvin Choy instead of attending TVB's activities, and said that TVB intentionally gave her roles in smaller productions despite the fact that she has stayed with the company for 17 years and starred in over 20 TVB dramas.

However, the producer of "Will Power" denied the allegations, "Although I do want the whole cast to attend the promotional events, [Christine] told me that her husband has some business in France and she needs to help him."

Meanwhile, Christine has yet to address the rumour.
