According to JayneStars, when Cheung went to receive his award for Most Popular Male Character award at the TVB Anniversary Awards, which is often considered as a consolation prize to the title of TV King, he said this:
"Does TVB not like me? Is it only possible to win the award through popular votes? Biological children are lovable, but when appearing at the necessary and right time, loyal children are very important too!"
Although Cheung isn't managed by TVB, he is known to have a long standing relationship with the studio, often appearing in its TV dramas. Cheung had also reportedly turned down a lucrative appearance fee for a promotional event in order to make it for the TVB Anniversary Awards.
After his speech, Cheung had accepted interviews from his fans and a variety show, but refused to speak with interviewers from TVB's official publication.
Netizens then took to criticize Cheung's speech, saying that he should be grateful for being given a prize at all for "Triumph in the Skies 2".
Meanwhile, Cheung's wife Anita Yuen gave encouragement to her husband on her Weibo after the ceremony and was given a diamond bracelet by Cheung, for losing a bet to her that he would win the title of TV King.
