Wayne Lai: TVB Good Benefits, Hopes for Foot Massaging Service

 Last night, Wayne Lai was accompanied by this year's Miss HK Carat Cheung, Jacqueline Wong and Tracy Chu and magician Avon Lee for the recording of a magic performance on the Lunar New Year show TVB Golden Viva Spectacular. The 5 of them were chained up on chairs, but when the heavy smoke came on stage, they suddenly unlocked themselves and disappeared. Then they magically drove back to the stage in a car. Wayne said: "Outdoor magic is difficult to control, such as the weather and the site. It's quite a challenge."

This year TVB plans to give out a large amount of lucky money, each contracted artist gets a HK$6000 red envelope and per-series contracted artists get HK$3000. Wayne laughed: "Luckily I'm a contracted artist and didn't sign the per-series contract, but I don't have time to go to the bank." He feels after the new boss Charles Chan Kwok Keung came on board, there are a lot more benefits, such as a new supper shop right outside of the filming studio, there are good congee and noodles to eat late at night. He hopes TVB will add foot massaging service too. It was rumored the 9 big film king and queens are coming back to TVB to shoot a series, Wayne has also heard the news. He said: "I'm not worried that they'll steal my position, TVB is such a large production company, it's good for more outside artists and seniors coming back because its advantageous to us juniors. The 9 big seniors are so heavy-weighted, Chow Yun Fat and Anthony Wong are seniors I admire."

Other artists at HK recording: Alan Tam, Liza Wang, Eric Tsang, Dodo Cheng, Veronica Yip, Vivien Chow, George Lam, Joey Yung.
