Yesterday, Hacken Lee, Eason Chan, Miriam Yeung, Denise Ho, Twins and others attended the 2007 TVB Jade Solid Gold - Round 3 Press Conference. During the event Eason was voted, by other singers, as the male artist with the Most Money and artist that is Most Fatherly. Eason later says he feels that the title of Most Money should go to Juno Mak because he doesn't take for granted that he has money, which he uses to create the music that he wants and puts effort into his music. When asked about this year's Asia's Favorite Male Singer, Eason admits that he has the edge over Hacken because he released a Mandarin album this year, but that Leo Ku also has a good chance.

On Wednesday night at the weekly TVB Jade Solid Gold program, over 30 singers attended to promote their song for the Round 3 Awards. During the event, Eason performed his song Crying in the Party and immediately afterwards asked for a re-shoot. He then started to talk to TVB personnel about the re-shoot when suddenly he stepped off the stage and left the studio. Eason was talked into continuing the taping and he complied, shaking Miriam's hand apologetically. There was a moment of awkwardness, but when Eason started to sing [the re-shoot] he became himself again and apologized to all the singers.

During the original shoot, Eason was playing around too much during his performance and was not satisfied with the outcome; therefore, asking for a re-shoot. Afterwards he admits that he shouldn't have asked for a re-shoot on stage, saying, "I felt that there were a couple of lines I wasn't happy with, but I shouldn't have asked for a re-shoot on stage, I was wrong. I personally apologized to the producer and all the singers." The producer Poon Yur Gai says that there wasn't enough time for practice so there were technical problems, "Eason did request for a re-shoot, but he wasn't the reason we decided to re-shoot and I feel he shouldn't have requested a re-shoot [on stage]."

Two nights ago, Katie Chan was on set to watch Eason Chan shoot the MV for his newest plug 時代巨輪. For the MV, Eason was required to run from the sidewalk to the middle of the road and back. It was definitely a scary and dangerous scene with oncoming traffic.
