Record labels want Eason Chan for HK$500 million

Contract with Cinepoly Records soon to expire, the 'Award King' Eason Chan is recently been fought over by the major record labels. Many record labels are imposing 'super silver bullets' and even a 'super price' of HK$50 million - 500 million to get Eason. Although Eason keeps his mouth zipped tightly, the night before at 'RTHK Top 10 Chinese Gold Song Awards', perhaps he was too happy of winning 7 awards that he forgot about the 'secret' and leaked it out.

When Eason was on stage accepting his Media Recommendation Award for the song Tourbillion, he expressed: "Very thank you to my record label, hope to produce more good music for everyone soon." When he accepted an interview, Eason frankly said that when he's signing with a record label, it is not about the money, but is about the chemistry and fate. However, the chances of joining Gold Label is very small, he joked: "Because I don't want to see Edmond Leung, I'm already always seeing him."

Universal Music VP was asked about Eason's contract renewal, he said that the contract terms are handed over to (Chan Ka Ying), hopefully there will be an answer by the end of the month. Asked if they have confidence? He said: "There is a possibility." Chan Ka Ying expressed over a phone interview: "We all love Eason, gratitude without words. (Eason leaked it out?) You can guess."

As the big winner again, Eason won a total of 17.5 awards combined with the other 2 music awards (Metro, Chik Chak). Backstage, Eason laughed: "I like this number, I like 7, 17 is good!" But because he's a "Big 4" singer, he probably won't get anything at the JSG Music Awards. Eason said in a '8 por' tone: "Choi! There are more! There are other online awards."
