Shawn Yue Commands $2 Million per Film, Erasing Old Box Office Poison Stigma

Since parking at Media Asia’s Peter Lam’s pier last year, Shawn Yue Man Lok had a remarkable turnaround in his film career and became an actor in high demand. Shawn successfully foraged into the mainland market with his recent films. Aside from appearing inJohn Woo’s Reign of Assassins "剑雨", Shawn’s new film, Curse of the Deserted "荒村公寓" raked $30 million (Yuan) inbox office sales, erasing his former stigma as a box office failure.

After successfully reviving his career, Shawn’s filming fee grew from $1.5 million to $2 million (Yuan) per picture. From his newfound income, Shawn bought a luxury home and car. He was spotted driving a $1 million (Yuan) Mercedes-Benz car earlier.

An artist’s networking skills are extremely important in the entertainment industry. Aside from having good relations with Peter Lam, Shawn is also good friends with Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Chingmy Yau Suk Ching’s husband, Shum Ka Wai (founder of IT fashion company). Shawn often plays pool and joins hot pot dinners with Aaron and Mr. Shum. To keep up with his well-off friends, Shawn maintains a lavish lifestyle with high expenses.
