Hong Kong Film Award Made Room For Eric Tsang's Birthday?

April 14 will be Eric Tsang Chi Wai's 60th birthday. His friends like Alan Tam WIng Lun and Nat Chan Pak Cheung will accompany him to the end and even travel the world for him. Speaking into his birth month, Chi Wai has already attended celebrations endlessly. Even the 32nd Hong Kong Film Award had to make room for him and take place on the 13th so host Chi Wai would be able to celebrate his birthday.

The mission of celebrating Chi Wai's birthday this year fell on TVB. As the new boss Chan Kwok Keung took over TVB, his buddy Chi Wai has been giving his all in negotiating artist performances. Even with the TVB and HKTV free license issue, Chi Wai intensely urged unity at a basin banquet. For his effort TVB will invest 7 figures to celebrate this almost "half a boss" Chi Wai's birthday.

TVB executive Yu Wing Shan yesterday revealed that TVB on the 10th will organize a 60 table banquet at the Wanchai Convention Center and invite over 700 on and off camera talent to celebrate his birthday in advance. Some of the event will be recorded for the 14th special program "Super Show".

As for Hong Kong Film Award making room for him, Yu Wing Shan admitted that and said that many people loved Chi Wai. "I know the people withe the Hong Kong Film Award treated Chi Wai very well, they deliberately accommodate his birthday and put it on the 13th. You can tell how important Chi Wai is in this business. (Who will be his guests?) We sent invitation to over 400 people in the business, we want to play it like a party." Hong Kong Film Award yesterday replied, "A year ago the Hong Kong Film Award has already booked the 13th with the Cultural Center, no comment on whether it was to accommodate Chi Wai's birthday."
