EEG thought of not signing Raymond Lam due to tardiness & no Chok look

Yesterday Raymond Lam held a press conference to promote his new album Self Portrait at The Peninsula Hotel. The event organizer invited Raymond to kick off with an ice breaking ceremony. It was announced since Raymond joined EEG, he released 6 Cantonese albums, 1 Mandarin album and 3 concert DVDs, which sold over 1 million copies. However, when EEG executive Ng Yue recalled the past when he first met with Virgina Lok and Raymond at The Peninsula Hotel, Ng Yue exposed: "On our first meeting, Raymond was late and he didn't have the Chok look. He only came in a wet look (at the time it was raining). That time I was thinking if don't want to sign the contract, then forget it!"

Raymond explained that day he had to work prior to the meeting and it was raining, so he was late. He stressed: "At the time, I was very busy with my work. I ran around to several different locations all in one day, very rushed. It wasn't that ridiculous as everyone makes it sound!" He reveals for the concert he's holding in January, he has invited a male singer, who he rarely collaborates with, to be his guest performer. Raymond hopes that male singer will have time for him.

When asked if he'll invite rumored girlfriends Karena Ng and Yuxi Liu to his concert? He said: "I welcome all my friends to come. If truly are friends, then will support no matter what. You all know how I am, there is no need to comment any further on the rumors. You all can say whatever you want." When asked if he'll give his new album to the two rumored girlfriends? He said supportive friends will buy it, but every time he has a new album, he buys a batch himself to give to colleagues and seniors in the music industry.

Although Raymond often has rumors with female artists, he will not deliberately keep his distance. "Rumors are necessary in the entertainment circle. Just as long as it does not get too over the line, then just think of it as promotion! In the future, if I'm in a relationship, I won't deliberately try to hide it, let nature take its course." He also reveals, he is busy shooting a new 3D film, and fears he may get injured from shooting the jumping-off-the-building scene.
