Julian Cheung Chi Lam yesterday announced at the same time his official contract signing with China 3D Digital Entertainment and his contract renewal with Star Entertainment. He will work in music, film and television. To coordinate with the rising popularity of his "Cool Demon" character, the company spent six figures on a helicopter ride for luck for Chi Lam and confirmed the film version of TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES (CHUNG SEUNG WON SIU) next year. The company's stock price rose almost 1.5 times.

Chi Lam yesterday held the contract signing press conference on the runway of the old Kai Tak Airport, officially signing with Stephen Shiu Jr's China 3D Digital Entertainment and renewing his Star Entertainment contract. Chi Lam in a tuxedo arrived in a luxury car and received a welcome from a group of sexy flight attendants. Bosses Stephen Shiu Jr. Neway boss Sit Chai Kit, Paco Wong, Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum), Chow Yiu Fai, advertisers and various major media representatives came to congratulate him. Chi Lam after the official contract signing even rode the helicopter to the air, as his version of AGE LIKE SONG (SHUI YUET YU GOR) played.

Chilam refused to revealed the contract amount. He said, "I hope in the next few yars I can work hard and show some performance. I signed for many years and hope to keep signing. The contract signing amount of course is a commercial secret. (The two companies were rumored to give 8 figures each?) That great? However today the most fun is the lucky lap in the air. The sunny sky is just like my mood." The Chilam starred TRIUMPH 2 was not only a rating hit but also brought China 3D Digital (8078)'s stock price to a 1.5 time increase. It reached HK$0.066 and HK$0.061 at closing, a rise of 1.34 times.

As for the online parody of TRIUMPH 2's ending that turned Chilam into an earth protecting hero, he smiled and said that he took notice, praised the online creativity and forwarded the picture to his son Mo Tung. TVB was rumored to be working with Stephen Shiu Jr. on the TRIUMPH film adaptation, Chilam admitted, "Actually I will work in film, television and concert, so I have to stay in my best shape for even more jobs. I have heard about the TRIUMPH film adaptation, the soonest it will start production will be next year. I am looking forward to it, but one person can't make a movie. The good performance of the series is already a great encouragement." He said that a collaboration between TVB and his boss would be the best situation, but as an actor he could not participate in casting. The decision will be up to the company.

Chilam revealed that after TRIUMPH he discovered his love for television and considered returning to the Mainland to make a series for real money. His concert is planned for August next year. He said, "I hope this time at the Hong Kong Coliseum can challenge my records the last two times. For the new record I will first remake (Eason) Chan Yik Shun's AGE LIKE SONG. It's the company's idea. The rest of the songs will be remakes of my favorite songs as a salute." Has his misunderstanding with Star Entertainment been resolved? Chilam said, "We never had any misunderstanding, just some emotional misunderstanding. Since it's in the past it doesn't need to be mentioned again."

China 3D Digital Entertainment boss Stephen Shiu Jr. admitted that he signed Chi Lam for eight figures but denied the rumored HK$50 million. He admitted that he and Chi Lam talked about working together for over a year. Since his joining his work has been nonstop. The jobs that have been scheduled until the end of October will be able to offset the cost of the contract signing. Stephen Shiu Jr. revealed that Chi Lam at the end of the year will work on a Mainland television series. Next year Chi Lam will make two movies, a romance that will start production in January and the TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES (CHUNG SEUNG WON SIU) film adaptation in April. Their estimated investment will be respectively 20 million and 60 million. Stephen Shiu Jr. said, "They may not be all individual investments. Some will be made with other companies. TRIUMPH still awaits discussions on how to share the cost with TVB and scheduling the actors like (Francis) Ng Chun Yu." Seemingly "Captain Tong" and "Cool Demon" will battle again.

Stephen Shiu Jr. also revealed that aside from making Hong Kong films like DUE WEST THAILAND this year, the company will also focus on Mainland mainstream film development. It has already opened cinemas in cities like Xiamen and Chongqing and developed the film industry in all aspects.
