Joe Ma's wife recently wrote on Weibo complaining that her husband is working long hours and having to attend gatherings way too much, but his salary is so low. Clearly she is attacking TVB's harsh work schedules and salaries: She even gave a nickanme to TVB executive Virgina Lok "Lok Big Mom".
Yesterday Virgina expressed that she already called Jow and ended his wife's doubts. She said: "I am also very concerned for our artists having it hard while shooting series, able to withstand '5 workers, 7 injured'. I hope to be able to take artists' feelings into consideration too, otherwise there may be misunderstandings." She knows Joe is suffering from the flu lately, and had to be on saline IV in the hospital.
Virgina: No popular star had not suffered before
Virgina understands that the production costs needs to controlled when shooting series, the tight scehdules leave exhausted artists. As for the low paying salaries, she said TVB is a good station, allowing artists to rise to a well known mark, thus increasing their personal value and attract more jobs, she said: "But to get to this stage, one must suffer a little, no popular star had not suffered before." As for the nickname :Lok Big Mom", Virgina accepts it: "I am not young, an I am many people's mom, it's better to call me Miss Lok." She does not treat artists like a money tree, she really does care about them like their own children.
Joe's wife wrote again on Weibo yesterday afternoon to support her husband. She wrote in English: "Life isn't waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain!" What does she means is that one must remain strong during setbacks and accept challenges.
Last night, Joe was shooting outdoor scenes for new series Special Duties Unit in the deep waters. He said his wife has her own standpoint, but that does not mean he thinks the same. Perhaps it's because he was sick earlier and his wife was to worried about him that caused this misunderstanding. He already explained to his wife of the nature of his work. The incident this time also did not affect his relationship with TVB. Is TVB being too harsh to him? He said if he thinks that way, then he should not be here to make a living. As for his contract, currently still in discussion.
It was also said that Joe's wife felt pity for Jow being with TVB for 18 years and didn't get the TV King award after 8 consecutive years.
Charmaine got a raise from TVB
Charmaine Sheh attended an event and heard about this issue. She said :"No really?! Maybe that person isn't her! (TVB often said to be harsh?) Nope, I got a raise, shooting series is definitely going to be hard work, just going yo have to stick with it.
