Edison starting afresh from Singapore

A year after the outbreak of sex photo scandal, Edison Chen is officially making his return to showbiz with Singapore as his first destination!

According to sources, Chen has been invited by a fast food chain to be guest for a product launch on Feb 27 in Singapore. The press release for the product launch merely stated "a very special guest star from Hong Kong" will be attending the event. When media tried to confirm who the special guest is, they refused to reveal his or her name. The organizer is taking every precaution to protect Chen; his entire schedule in Singapore is kept at high confidentiality.

The organizer said Chen will be making his appearance as "personal friend" of their client.

The product launch will be a closed door event open only to invited guests. Besides Chen, several local artistes are also invited. The United States and Denmark ambassadors to Singapore have also received invitations.

Chief Operating Officer of Singapore film distribution company Scorpio East, Lim Teck, who has been acquainted with Chen a few years back from movies collaborations, found the latter a young man with ideals and ambitions about movies. "He does not make movies for the sake of earning money. If he wasn't affected by the sex photos scandal, he should have been even more famous by now. I admire Edison for his ambitious nature and I do not rule out the possibility of producing a movie with him," Lim said. However, he also pointed out that an "upright yet evil" character would suit Chen's image more.

On the other hand, managing director of MediaCorp Raintree Pictures, Daniel Yun, also revealed that there had been plans to cast Chen in their new film; however, he said, "Sadly at the moment, there are no scripts which suit Chen."
