For Gigi Leung, freedom is not always a good thing.
When Hong Kong singer-actress Gigi Leung joined her current
record label, the ambitious star was said to be preparing to take
on the movie industry and international markets.
However, her album and movies received little attention and were
barely noticeable for the past two years.
The 34-year-old's career has been going downhill since she broke
up with her ex-beau, Ekin Cheng, two years ago. Contrary to her
girl-next-door image, the unfavourable reports had painted her as a
scheming and difficult girlfriend, causing many to drop their
support for the star.
Recently, Gigi released a Cantopop album after a three-year
hiatus. The singer was said to be actively involved in the
production of the album, ranging from producing, song choices and
album cover.
While Gigi explained that was because the company gave her the
freedom, insiders revealed that the 'freedom' was in fact, a sign
of the company giving up on her.
"Gigi's contact will be up next March and the company doesn't
even want to extend it."
