Bowie Lam Offers No Pity to Complaining TVB Artists

With his TVB contract expiring shortly, Bowie Lam revealed in program "新派煮意" that he had dinner with Virginia Lok Yi Ling and Tommy Leung Ka Shu recently. “Ms. Lok had a lot of sincerity. Tommy Leung invited me to film Happy House, Hidden Dragon "樂府藏龍" and the sequel to Health Oddities "健康奇案錄". I am still considering the offers.”

When asked whether his salary would increase, Bowie replied, “The pay would not increase much! For an artist, the most important thing is to be offered a good role. I have been offered mainland roles as well. The script(s) were written in great detail. I want to allow some flexibility….”

Regarding Sammul Chan Kin Fung and Michael Tao Dai Yu complaining of TVB’s low wages, Bowie strongly supported TVB. “So many complaints? On the other hand, I am luckier. Artists should not look at money too heavily!” In response to Joe Ma Tak Chung’s wife complaining of TVB’s strenuous work conditions, Bowie said, “They know that! If you are going to eat salted fish, you have to withstand thirst! (食得鹹魚抵得渴)”
