After TVB's drama 'The Queen of News 2' aired, it sparked a chase-watching trend among spectators in both Mainland China and Hong Kong. The tightly-woven plot and the heightened power struggles among characters became major highlights. Recently, a Chinese netizen posted a pay chart of the drama's actors, claiming Charmaine Sheh received 1 million HKD (about RM 520,000) for her role in 'The Queen of News 2', while Bosco Wong received 500,000 HKD (about RM 260,000). Some netizens commented, 'Bosco Wong is such a bargain!' On the 16th, Bosco Wong attended a promotional event for 'The Queen of News 2' and responded to the rumors with just one sentence—delivering quite a bold reply!
When asked about the rumored salaries of the two actors circulating online, Bosco Wong replied in an interview with 'Hong Kong 01': 'You believe that? (Saying you got 500,000 HKD for a whole series!) How would outsiders know my pay? How would they know about our contract, right? (Is it more than that?) Am I supposed to tell you exactly how much? Haha! Everyone's just trying to catch attention.'
