This time Macy's contract expired and she decided not to renew it, perhaps her decision is related to the previous car accident in Japan? However, it was also widely rumored that Eric intends to start a family. Maybe Macy is leaving the company because she wants to concentrate on being Mrs. Suen? Just as she said on Weibo: "A new beginning."
Macy expressed TVB gave her very good contract renewal terms, but she feels the need to reflect on her future because she's been with the company since 2004. She does not currently have any plans yet, but perhaps she will go see more of the outside world first. Her boyfriend Eric is very supportive of her decision.
Is her decision to leave TVB related to the fact that her on-screen jobs had been reduced over the last year? She expressed that is not the case. Although she does not film TVB series as often, she has participated in many variety shows. She also had many other outside jobs and opportunities to earn money such as being a MC at events. Will she consider other TV stations, such as Ricky Wong's HKTV? She stressed that thought has never crossed her mind. She wants to rest first.
On October 30th, Macy and Queenie arrived in Okinawa to shoot for the TVB Pay Vision travel show. Initially the filming duration was 11 days, but after completing the 10th episode of the half an hour show, the rest of the production was not produced by TVB. It was the 3rd day in Okinawa for the two TVB artists when the accident occurred, Macy was driving with Queenie, the female data collector and photographer in the car. The group was heading to Akiyoshidai-Minamiyama Observatory when the accident happened along the way.
Last night, Macy and Queenie returned to HK and was personally picked up by TVB executive Virgina Lok, Deputy Director of Foreign Affairs Tsang Sing Ming and Leanne Li. Virgina and Mr. Tsang took the two girls to the hospital for a body checkup. At the airport, Macy and Queenie shared their first hand experience of the accident. During the time, Queenie emotionally started tearing up, whereas Macy held a tight fist the whole time, appearing quite frightened.
The girls said the area where they were driving didn't even have GPS signal and there was also a language barrier that delayed the Japanese police from coming to their rescue. Queenie was the one who immediately called the police, she said: "I just knew how to say accident and car crash." The two said they were fortunate the large tree and rocks stopped the car from falling even more down the slope, it saved their lives. Queenie became so emotional she couldn't speak. When she calmed down, she continued: "At the time, there were 4 cars and 30 people that came to rescue us. Really thank God. We were just a step away from dying." After the accident, Queenie remained strong and when she learned she would be heading back to HK, she was relieved!
Stay in the same room with other men
Eric continues: "She is a professional artist, who has always hoped to do her best! Even if she doesn't know how to 'shine shoes' or flatter [executives], she had been bullied by certain people all along! Whoever she doesn't like in the company, she doesn't dare to say anything! We all know it's because of this accident that there is a high-profile pick up at the airport, accompany to the hospital and interviews with the media! Ha! If I didn't speak up, would they continue to shoot!"
With regards to her boyfriend Eric scolding TVB for forcing her to drive? Macy said when she left to Okinawa, she found out she had to drive when she had to get an international driver's license. She said she is not a skilled driver, and only had her driver's license for less than a year. It turns out the production crew had another staff to drive, but at the last minute, [he/she] couldn't make it that day. So the last few days, Macy was responsible for the driving. When asked about the arrangements that she and other male workers stayed in the same room? Macy said the men slept on bunk beds, but because she didn't want to be in the same room with strangers, she and Queenie went out to find a hotel themselves.
Queenie expressed after the accident, the director wanted them to continue the shoot. However, because the force from the accident has left them physically in pain, the two did not continue and headed back to HK for a body checkup instead. The two other staff members remained in Japan.
The Contractor responsible for the insurance
Virgina expressed after learning of the accident, she discussed with TVB General Manager Stephen Chan about how to proceed and the two decided to temporarily stop shooting. She expressed the contractor for this travel show is NiHon Tour, Virgina believes the company will make the appropriate arrangements. Now that the accident has happened, TVB will first need to get a clear understanding with the responsible contractor first. As for Eric scolding TVB for forcing Macy to be the driver? Virgina said this is a self-drive travel show, Macy knew she had to be on camera driving. The accident happened during the shoot, and was an accident. As for both men and women stay in the same room, it is because they stay in hostels for the trip. Virgina expressed although this is a contracted program, TVB is responsible for the insurance of their artists' personal safety, but the insurance while doing outside work is handled by the contractor.
Cheung Yu Ngong turns out to be Teresa Cheung's younger brother, this year he's 22 years old and entered the industry all by himself. He did not rely on his sister and has high aims.
He said: "My sister didn't know I entered the industry, I currently signed a TVB management contract, I personally wrote a letter to TVB. Although my sister knows many people, I have to rely on myself. I studied at the Beijing Film Academy for 3 months before. (Have you contacted your sister?) Rarely, she's very busy. Actually I live in Canada, so I don't see her much."
Joel Chan and Macy Chan play a couple once again after Sisters of Pearl. The two do not know if they have kiss scenes yet. Joel even joked that he will request for kiss scenes to be added and both expressed that they are worried that their other halves will be upset.

She laughed and said that her MHK mate (Elle Lee) has it lucky because she has two boyfriends in the series.
