Many Hong Kong artists that have disappeared from the Hong Kong industry are finding much success up north.

After rumored couple Alex Fong and Stephy Tang's contracts expired with Gold Typhoon last year, they both decided to head north. Earler, Stephy joined Beijing's Hai Run Company for ¥10 million. Yesterday she accepted a phone interview and said happily, "My income has indeed increased a bit ever since I started working in mainland. I'm very confident with the room for development in mainland. My company has already accepted two dramas for me." Alex Fong expressed that he has earned over ¥10 million working in mainland last year, "All money is hardly-earned. I've just started and will continue to work hard this year."

Former TVB artist Hawick Lau's popularity is soaring in the recent years as he continued to worked in mainland. He earned ¥250,000 for each episode and multiplying by the five dramas he was in last year, he has earned well over ¥30 million. He revealed that he has already accepted four dramas this year.

Singer Don Li has settled in Beijing for two years now and in addition to being invited to be a record producer, he also starred in two mainland dramas 《江南傳奇十五貫》 and 《浪漫滿廚》. Adding on mainland promotions and functions, he earned more than Â¥4.4 million.

LOL!!

Â¥10,000,000 = 823,019 rmb = HK$1,012,770 = US$130,375

Certainly nothing to write home about! I guess it is more impressive to list the amount in Japanese yen than in other currencies.

So much for "Head North to Dig Gold". It's more like digging crumbs.

FYI: The Renminbi (RMB, sign: ¥; code: CNY; also CN¥, 元 and CN元) is the official currency of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Renminbi is legal tender in mainland China, but not in Hong Kong or Macau.

It's best to educate yourself about such things before laughing at others.
10 000 000 Chinese yuan = 1.58695 million U.S. dollars

RMB250,000, that is HKD308,000.00 or USD39,000.00 per episode. Very much higher compared to what HK TVB is paying.

For your information, ¥ is the official and recognized symbol of the Japanese yen. You can search any official currency exchange report to confirm that.

As for the rmb, or the Chinese Yuan, according to the People's Bank of China – Article 26 receipt, the symbol of Yuan is Y with single stroke. (Chinese). But since the rmb is not a hard currency traded internationally at this time, the yuan symbol is not found in most English-based computer programs; therefore, the affixed abbreviation CNY or RMB is often used instead : CNY10,000,000 or 10,000,000RMB. The insistent use of the Yuan symbol in these programs results in the erroneous portrayal of the monetary amount in Japanese yen instead of rmb, and such confusion often creates unintended humors as in this case.

I think most readers in this forum are quite knowledgeable of the currencies used in various countries/regions so your attempt at lecturing the mass on foreign exchange is quite unnecessary and might come across as a bit snooty. It is more important for you to first understand the humors behind my post before expounding.

All is cool!!

I was wondering where he disappeared to.

Nice to see him doing extremely well, compared to when he was in TVB, truly underpromoted

Apparently it's referring to RMB, why would they be talking about Yen?

....why is my head starting to hurt ?

[UniversalSR]

¥ is already chinese reminbi already

Anyway, the HK artistes earns more there, and who loses, TVB again, right now, TVB are jacking up the price, but they are losing still

That so much money earned for the artistes there

That so much bloody money earned and 1 million USD is considered a lot already considering the economy of the world
