Raymond Lam reportedly blacklisted by TVB

HONG KONG: It seems that TVB’s anger with Raymond Lam for refusing to discuss his contract renewal has not waned.

Hong Kong media reported that the former TVB actor has been blacklisted by his maiden TV station after his departure.

Reports also said that TVB did not broadcast his new songs and did not provide any coverage for his concert which will be held at the Hong Kong Coliseum next month.

TVB has also laid down rules for its entertainment programmes, Scoop and EXTRA not to cover any news related to Raymond. Even if Raymond was present at the same event, their reporters would treat him invisible and would not interview him as well.

TVB is currently filming the movie version of ‘Line Walker’, in which Raymond and Charmaine Sheh were the central characters in the drama.

However, Raymond was not invited to star in the movie, and only Charmaine’s role remained.

Two years ago, Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG) held a press conference for Raymond, and all the media outlets attended the event.

TVB did not send any representative to attend, and not even a single reporter covered the press conference.

Reports said that before Raymond’s contract ended, TVB had many times initiated to discuss his contract renewal. However, Raymond declined to discuss and even rejected all his work when his contract was about to end, and this angered TVB.

Raymond initially thought that EEG could help to defuse the tension between him and TVB, and EEG has also sent its senior executive to talk to TVB many times, but they were all fruitless attempts.
