Fala Chen is most happy when in receipt of film fee

Yesterday Fala Chen took part in a promotional event for the release of the Lunar New Year film, ‘I Love Hong Kong. ’ held at a shopping mall in Tsuen Wan. There has been a lot rumours resolving around how the actors and actresses are paid for these Lunar New Year comedies. In the past, the New Year film ’72 Tenants’, were rumoured that those taking part were paid in red packet ‘lucky’ envelope with money rather than proper fee payment.

Many artists attended the promotional event and had fun participating in New Year games. Fala played a game where she had to write New Year messages in Chinese calligraphy. Whilst Fala was writing, her left hand was on her chest, Vivien Yao laughed and revealed that Fala was copying the Chinese characters from one of the film flyers. Embarrassed Fala just laughed out and commented that her top was especially for today and in support of the film.

The media talked to Fala about her fees for the film, she replied: “The fees were agreed with this film is on par with other films I have accepted, no different.” She explained that the fee is based upon the number of film scenes she is in. She was in 6 film scenes and worked with Sandra Ng, who had the most scenes. Fala has full confidence in the box office ratings for this film as the plot of the film is based upon Hong Kong lifestyle and properties in Hong Kong. She hoped to gain many support from people in Hong Kong.

Reporters asked about Eric Tsang and when he will return to help with these promotional events, Fala answered: “Eric has a lot of family things to sort out so we are helping out as much as we can in terms of promoting this film. Eric has put a lot of effort in this film so it’s the least we can do.” When asked if Fala has contacted Eric, she replied: “I will do, but later, because he is very busy right now, it’s on my mind to contact him soon.”

Finally, Fala revealed that she will be in the U.S for this Lunar New Year period and plan to visit her parents. When asked if she will bring her boyfriend, she answered: “I do not have that plan at the moment.” Finally Fala revealed that if the opportunity arises then she will go and visit her boyfriend’s family in the New Year.
