HCFoo's Blogyard

Sing Tao Daily estimated that the nude photos scandal could cost Edison Chen, who was seen as one of the coolest entertainers in Hong Kong showbiz, HK$10m a year in work and endorsements.

Since the scandal broke out, Edison has not face the media and public. According to veteran singer, Alan Tam, Edison should face the music and clear things up. However, it is said that the Hong Kong police does not want him to to come back to Hong Kong yet, fear for his safety and causing interference to the current investigation.

In the latest report by Hong Kong's Oriental Daily, a senior member of a triad society had put a price of HK$500,000 to chop off Edison's hand. The paper also quoted a female artiste who suggested that the HK$500,000 price be placed "on the part of Edison's body which he likes to flaunt so much."

So, it's not only career suicide for Edison. His life is now at stake. And no, I don't think Edison will attempt suicide over this scandal. He is a narcissist and someone narcissistic won't consider to kill himself. Perhaps he should consider of hiding in US or Canada instead of coming back to Hong Kong forever. Or at least until this scandal subsides.

In the meanwhile, Gillian Chung has been rumoured of marrying to Juno Mak Chun Long. Few years ago, Juno, his father, Clement Mak and Albert Yeung, the Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG) Chairman were brought into investigation by the Hong Kong anti-corruption organization (ICAC).
