The scandal
The Edison Chen photo scandal involved the illegal distribution over the Internet of intimate and private photographs of Hong Kong actor Edison Chen with various women, including actresses Gillian Chung, Bobo Chan, and Cecilia Cheung. The scandal shook the Hong Kong entertainment industry in early 2008 and received high profile media attention locally and around the world. Many local newspapers relegated coverage of the 2008 Chinese winter storms to secondary prominence during Chinese new year; Apple daily headlined the story consecutively from29 Jan to 18 Feb.
Despite enlisting the assistance of Interpol, the Hong kong police were unable to stem the spread of the photographs. As of 12 Feb 08, ten people were arrested in connection with the distribution of the photographs. The police crackdown raised questions over violations of the privacy and free speech rights of Internet users. The manner in which actors, their management, and the police handled the situation, in turn, made those arrested into heroes and martyrs for some Internet users.
On 21 Feb, Chen admitted being the author and copyright owner of most of the photographs. He stated that the private photographs had been stolen and published illegally without his consent . He made a public apology, especially to the female victims involved, and also announced that he would "step away indefinitely" from the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
The damage
On 5 Feb 08 , Chen was pulled from the upcoming Stephen Fung movie Jump as a result of the scandal. On 10 Feb 08, it was reported that credit card company Manhattan Titanium has withdrawn all advertisements featuring Chen.
Upon his return to Hong Kong on 21 Feb, a hundred police officers were present throughout the press conference at the HITEC centre, and some citizens complained about the waste of manpower. The police argued that their strong presence was essential to maintain public order due to the great public and media interest in the case.
The Traids reportedly offered a HK$500,000 reward to anybody who hacked off Edison Chen's hand.This contributed to fears for Edison's safety upon his return, and heavy police protection.
The LA Times reported that Pepsi China, Standard Chartered Bank, Samung , Levi's and the Hong Kong Metro, has dropped or declined to renew ad campaigns involving Chen.
Seeking help from White Dragon King Temple (Bai Long Wang)
Back in 2003, Edison chen and Famous Hong kong actor Tony Leung Chiu Wai went to visit the white dragon temple in Thailand and receive the blessing and advise from Bai long wang himself.
During the recent scandals , there were reports that Edison Chen was feeling lost and need to seek help. He informed his manager to contact the master Bai long wang for advise and help.
It was reported that Bai long wang told Edison Chen's manager that regarding the scandal issue of Edison Chen, he does not want to speak and has no comments on him.
Guess Edison Chen did not follow the great master advise back in the early days.
