| Will DaDa Chan show up Monday? |

| Celia Sie is terminating DaDa's performance contracts one by one and issues a final notice to DaDa courtesy of mingpao.com |
DaDa Chan Jing last Thursday issued her "retirement" announcement online, pointing out that she was disillusioned, could not withstand the pressure and had emotional disorder. Yet it happened so suddenly that even her manager Celia Sie Lim Chi was unable to contact her; after a week of waiting she still has not seen her. Sie Lim Chi yesterday finally issued a final notice to her, limiting her to contact her before next Monday to explain and discuss how to handle the matter. otherwise she will be treated as "unwilling to resolve the matter" and Celia Sie will take legal action. In other words, with more than 5 years on her contract she would have to pay over HK$10 million "retirement fee".
Yesterday evening Sie Lim Chi under the name of her Jasco Hong Kong Group and Jasco Entertainment issued a statement, which revealed some "retirement details" like since issuing her online retirement announcement she still has not communicated with the company except for a phone message that stated due to her condition and exhaustion from being on camera she asked for a complete stop to her jobs on August 9. With a note from the doctor she took sick days until September 1. Yet DaDa said to the outside that she completely retired from the screen, why would she use a doctor's note to take time off with the company until September 1? Perhaps she was laying down a chance to "return"?
However Sie Lim Chi could not wait for her "sick days" to that day, she only hoped that DaDa would appear to resolve th matter. If by next Monday she could not be contacted, she would be considered "unwilling to resolve the matter" and the company will take legal action.
After DaDa's "retirement announcement", she called and cried to her management company colleague. She said that she made a mistake and she was too willful. Yet so far she still has not conversed with her manager Sie Lim Chi. The day after the contact she appeared in person and claimed to be making additional shoots for Pang Ho Cheung's film. However she did not mention her company at all. Later she even lost all contact. Sie Lim Chi was busy with disarming all the bombs from DaDa's remaining and resolved jobs.
Currently DaDa and her management company still had over 5 years on her contract. From resigning from LAN KWAI FONG 3 (HEI OI YEH PO 3), advertising and some business performance that already paid down payment, as well as the film company's damage for in the next few years she might have to pay over HK$10 million "retirement fee". If she did not have backstage support as rumored, the pressure in the future will be rather heavy.
Because DaDa resigned from LAN KWAI FONG 3, her original role had to be pulled and the script had to be changed. Director Wilson Chin Kwok Wai revealed that the new version of the script has been done. Three actors will join the cast. They will include George Lam Chi Cheung's son Alex Lam Tak Shun. In the film he and his female character also had passionate scenes, but Lam tak Shun's manager Sandy Lam San San's condition of "release" was they could not be too excessive. As for the added female character she would not be a pseudo model, with sexy performance and a sense of freshness. For now she could not be revealed. Actually DaDa's story was pulled, her husband in the film Gregory Wong Chung Hiu was also affected. Chin Kwok Wai said that he would try to arrange for Wong Chung Hiu and DaDa's junior colleague to participate in the performance. However the role naturally was lighter. Chin Kwok Wai said, although this time he could not work with DaDa he still hoped that she would be able to appear soon and resolve her problem with her manager.
STATEMENT

Since last Thursday Ms. Chan Jing issued her retirement from on screen performance online without the company's knowledge, she has been unwilling to appear and communicate with this company. Only on August 9 in a phone message she said that because of her condition and her exhaustion from being on screen she asked for a complete stoppage of work and asked for sick days with a doctor's note until September 1. Here Ms. Chan Jing is urged to contact this company before Monday (the 19th) to make an explanation and discuss how to handle the matter.
