Steven Ma disheartened, officially leaves TVB in March
Steven Ma joined TVB in 1994 with the support of executive Catherine Tsang. Up until today, it has been 18 years since he's been with the company. Unfortunately his series were often pushed into the 'ashes' broadcast periods and thus made him lose several chances to take the TV King title. In addition, earlier TVB stopped him from accepting Mainland series and prevented him from earning the Chinese yuan. Due to these reasons, Steven felt disheartened and wanted to get his freedom back by terminating his contract early. Although recently it has been rumored that Mona Fong personally attempted to convince him to stay, he still was unwilling to reconsider.
According to reliable sources, yesterday morning, Steven went back to TVB City to discuss the contract termination. He went into one of the executive's offices and had a confidential discussion for half an hour. In the end, he decided to terminate his contract and end the 18 year relationship with TVB. Regarding this issue, [Oriental Daily] contacted Steven to clarify. He admitted that he was at TVB City yesterday morning, but he declined to reveal if he successfully terminated the contract or not: "I will talk about this later. I can only say that right now TVB and I are pleasantly discussing this matter!"
As for Virgina Lok, she said over the phone: "This morning Steven Ma came back, and talked to us about the early contract termination. In fact, his contract ends in May, but he asked to have it end in March instead. TVB has already accepted! Earlier, TVB accepted some jobs for hm and he agreed to finished up with those jobs first. As for the details, we have already passed it to the legal department for them to follow up."
