The sex picture scandal is not stopping. A mysterious person going by the alias “Kira” is leaking these pictures because he couldn’t get the ransom money. Also, Edison Chen's father (陳澤民) had substantial debt, was cited as the reason behind the scandal. There are also rumours that involved Hong Kong’s two largest artistes’ management companies, EEG and China Star, feuding with each other. It can be seen by the order of release of the nude pictures. The first female star was EEG’s Gillian Chung. Then it was China Star’s “traitor” Cecilia Cheung. Afterwards, it was Albert Yeung’s niece, Vincy.

According to Taiwan’s ETtoday online news report on February, the two companies had several clashes. People noticed that this scandal was directed at EEG and Albert Yeung. Edison had several roles: singer, idol, clothing store owner and the tabloid boyfriend of Gillian, Cecilia Cheung, BoBo Chan and others. He was also the son of a wealthy businessman, and boyfriend of Albert Yeung’s niece. The last two identities are key reasons to the sex picture scandal.

The two companies have been clashing with each other for a while. It can be clearly seen from the marriage of Cecilia and Nicholas Tse. EEG owns the entire management contract of Nicholas. During that time, China Star signed Cecilia’s movie management contract. The two companies’ first major clash was over Nicholas and Cecilia’s relationship. Cecilia was encouraged by China Star to abandon the relationship and maintain her image. Cecilia successfully became a “Best Actress” and China Star won the first round.

But, Cecilia and Nicholas reunited their love. Cecilia’s relationship with China Star quickly took a turn for the worse. The two announced their reunited relationship to the public through EEG and China Star was still unaware of the events. To save face, China Star and EEG comprised with each other to release the related information.

Afterwards, Nicholas and Cecilia quickly got married overseas. Once again, EEG released information to the public. And again, China Star was not aware of what happened and they could not stand it anymore. There were rumours that they would sever their contract with Cecilia. But Cecilia had backing and beat China Star to the court. She sued China Star for NTK$ 65 million of income.

On the day of the court proceedings, Cecilia dramatically announced that she was going to settle out of court. It can be seen that both companies had a temporary ceasefire agreement. China Star completely let go of Cecilia who was the product of their training and promotion.
