TVB Entertainment News

In recent years, TVB Siu Sangs and Fa Dans have been lining up to leave the company. Following Raymond Lam, Myolie Wu and Joey Meng's decision to leave TVB, yesterday at a ramen event, Kate Tsui personally admitted that she will not renew her contract with TVB yet and will soon become "free". Kate Tsui has worked with TVB for 11 years, and every year she brushes past the chance of getting the TV Queen award. Yesterday, when Kate attended a ramen event in Causeway Bay, she admitted that her contract is ending soon, but not this October like the rumours have been saying: "Soon!". She did not reveal when exactly her contract will end. She said: "Actually, I have not decided yet, but the contract will end in a short period of time. The company has discussed with me before (about the new contract), but right now, I am learning jewelry design, so I want to stop for a bit and think about my future direction. Actually, a few companies have invited me to work with them, but still discussing. I haven't made any decisions. Right now, I want to focus on what I am learning. If there is any news, I will announce it."

Asked if her decision to leave has to do with the drama quality nowadays? Kate replied: "Not at all. I've filmed a lot of good dramas before. TVB has given me a lot of job opportunities. All these years, it's been the dramas that let everyone know who I am. I will wait until my contract ends, then quiet down to think about my direction before I make a decision."

Nothing to do with awards: "Awards aren't everything"

11 years of filming dramas, Kate had been nominated for "Best Actress" in the TVB Anniversary Awards many times. However, everytime was a disappointment. In addition, in the past few years, newcomers such as Grace Chan, Sisley Choi, Moon Lau, etc have been heavily promoted and favoured by the company, causing Kate and other Fa Dans like Linda Chung to be treated "coldly". Kate Tsui denied being dispirited because of this: "Nothing to do with that. Awards aren't everything. I've also been filming movies. I just think it's time to grow, and try different types of jobs. I don't feel I'm being neglected. TVB and I had come to a consensus of reducing my drama load early on. Don't want to be so busy to the point that I have no time to rest."

Stop jobs to focus on jewelry design course

This year, Kate Tsui's only drama to broadcast was "Smooth Talker". Now that she has announced she will be leaving, it seems like the TV Queen award is hopeless once again. She emphasized again that she has never really look heavily upon awards; leaving the company is her own decision, so she will not compare with Myolie Wu. Asked if she wants to get married? She laughed saying marriage is far down her list, so she is not in a hurry. Right now, she wants to focus on her jewelry design course, so she has temporarily decided to stop her jobs for a while.
