Film Company Compliments of Being Strong; Chosen To Be Female Lead
Gillian Chung Receives Support; Many Ads/Commercial Jobs

Following the waves of pornographic photos of Gillian Chung and Edison Chen, there had been reports yesterday claiming that because of the damaged images of the two, many commercial and ad companies have withdrawn all ads with them being spokespeople in. However, Gillian's managing company explains that no such thing has happen. In contrast, the incident happening to Gillian has received great sympathy from ad companies. Of these few days, they have received many offers for Gillian to be their spokesperson; the total salary is approximately nearly ten million dollars HK.

Gillian had always been an idol for youngsters in HK, thus many ad companies offer huge salaries for her to be their spokesperson. However, because of the heated discussions regarding her "in-bed photos", there had been a rumour yesterday saying that Gillian's slimming ad for "瘦得起" had been withdrawn, and a new ad had replaced it. However, there had been explanations stating that Gillian's place as a spokesperson has not yet been affected. In contrast, because she is a victim in the situation, she is highly supported by film and ad companies.

One of the films, "The Butterfly Lovers", had originally planned to choose a female lead between Charlene Choi and Gillian, with the male lead being Wu Zun. As of the moment, the film company feels that Gillian's strong personality suits the character the most. On the side, there are four ads, including jewelry, cosmetics, milk products, and sanitary pads, that have confirmed for Twins as spokespeople during these few days. The favour for Gillian from the ad companies have also benefited Charlene.

EEG executive, Mani Fok, admitted, "There has been many ad companies asking for Gillian to film their ads; they are supporting Gillian abdundantly." She then denied of Gillian's ads being withdrawn, and said, "She's actually got more ads than before!". However, all has to wait until Gillian recovers from her illness and has enough rest. Mani estimated that Gillian will be active again after Chinese New Year, and she is very grateful for all the ad companies being considerate to Gillian.

As for 瘦得起 withdrawing Gillian's ads, the slimming company's representative explained, "We're not withdrawing it. We're actually preparing for the second edition of Gillian's ads. That's how the misunderstandings took place." As for Twins being the spokespeople for the Chinese New Year events as Disneyland, the representative of Disneyland expressed that it had just been a sole collaboration, so everything is going as planned.
