Awkward moment at Twins appearance in Shenzhen with drunken exec on stage

http://ent.sina.com.cn/s/h/p/2008-03-07 ... 9388.shtml

What's the story behind this? I've heard the myriad rumours that HK entertainment execs get more action from starlets than Edison Chen. Is this some guy who forgot his decorum, or something altogether unrelated?

China Reiterates Criteria for Movie Censorship
http://english.cri.cn/3086/2008/03/08/1221@331467.htm

from the piece:

Regulators reiterated the criteria for censorship on Friday, saying that films with explicit sex and fear-provoking elements must be cut or revised before release.

Gee, good thing rabid censorship doesn't fall into that category!

Best as I can gather, the Twins were in Shenzhen for a spring banquet affair. The drunken exec (notice the wine glass in hand) hopped on stage and bussed both of the girls. Not sure exactly who he is. I've heard those stories about Albert Yeung and the Twins, etc, too.

According to Apple Daily, it was the Matsunichi’s annual dinner (春茗) and Twins were the performing guests who have been presenting their products since 2002. That man is one of the company’s executives. Apply Daily quoted another report said that drunk man suddenly ran onto the stage, asked Gillian to toast and shouted: Gillian, you have to be strong! And then put his hand around her shoulder, touched her chin and kissed on her face. (What a support! ) Then he turned to kiss Charlene. (Hmmm, he thought Ah Sa needed his support too. )

Thanks for the clarification, Fan! In that second photo, Gillian almost looks like she's saying "Great, just what I need right now!" And then there's the way the drunk guy is handling her microphone. Talk about "bad optics"
