Yoyo Mung recently signed a per-series contract with HKTV. Yesterday she attended the press conference of her debut HKTV series Sky Net with the lead actor Frankie Lam. At the press conference, the event organizer sent out two young "Q version Yoyo" out to give Frankie a kiss and pushed out a birthday cake to celebrate Yoyo's August 3rd birthday. Yoyo laughed and said there is a rumor in the public that she signed a million dollar HKTV contract, she said: "That's just a rumor! After all, I'm satisfied! Actually the sincerity is more important than the money. I know I have fighting scenes this time around, they signed me up for boxing and shooting classes. They're trying to brush up my skills in this area! (What's your birthday wish?) Have work continuously." According to HKTV, the company especially hired an instructor to teach Yoyo Close Quarters Combat.

When speaking of the TV license issue, Frankie and Yoyo both expressed they are not worried. Frankie said: "The license will be issued sooner or later." Ricky Wong is thankful for Chow Yun Fat's support of obtaining TV license. He denied the rumor that HKTV artists are leaving the company in groups. "Just one or two artists left. We have 250 artists, later the number will increase to 300." He does not rule out the chances that he may do more "poaching" of artists.

Also, HKTV's other series My Mother is a Black Rose went through a huge cut of already filmed scenes, wasting HK$2 million. The serial was originally 30 episodes, but has been cut down to 9 episodes. Ricky said: "Actually its not just that amount, but we have to control quality. There is no reason why a glass of orange juice should be forced diluted to three glasses."
