Male Muscle Photos Purchased for $3.5 Million at Book Fair
Above: Gym, King Chiu, and Dominic Ho’s recent topless photo albums were big hits.
A mysterious man, known by the name “Boss Lau” (劉老闆), purchased $3.5 million HKD worth of male model photo albums on the opening day of the 2013 Hong Kong Book Fair. The models who starred in the photo albums – Chrissie Chau’s (周秀娜) fellow GME juniors Dominic Ho (何浩文), Gym (顧又銘), and King Chiu (趙勁皓) – went to the book fair yesterday to publicly thank Boss Lau for his support.
At a cost of $148 HKD per book, 8,000 prints of each of the three photo albums were shipped to the book fair. Before the official release date, a mysterious man known by “Boss Lau” contacted the book fair organizers and asked to purchase all copies of the trio’s photo albums, totaling 24,000 books that are worth $3.5 million HKD in total.
The man was reported to have said, “I want them all! Give me every single copy!”
The trio’s manager, Roy Kwong, expressed, “In my five-year collaboration with the book fair, this was the first time I have ever heard of such a thing. He purchased all 24,000 books at once. That’s several million dollars.” Roy also added, “The organizers of the book fair originally wanted to give him a discount, but he didn’t ask for one. The book fair gave him one anyway.”
Did Boss Lau ask for anything else? “He approached us through a middle man, and he wanted the three boys to thank him in public at the Wednesday book fair!” answered Roy.
Dominic, Gym, and King posted a message of gratitude to Boss Lau on their Weibo. At the book fair, the trio also held a sign that read “[Our] earnest thanks to Boss Lau” and publicly thanked the mysterious man in front of the media.
“It has been a long time since a [male artist] last released a photo album,” said Dominic. “He probably really liked how all three of us have decided to release albums at the same time.”
Could this mysterious Boss Lau be Lau Ding Sing (劉定成), the wealthy businessman who gained widespread media attention for his extensive photo collection of shirtless, muscular men?
“I don’t think so,” replied Dominic. “We’ve never met nor communicated with him before, but we should meet up with him so we can thank him personally.” Dominic revealed that GME will try to reach out to the mysterious buyer.
Although all prints of the photo book are sold out, GME announced they will order reprints and hopefully have them available for purchase again before the book fair ends on Tuesday, July 23.

eww
Boss Lau was probably some gay guy or fagggot who adored these three dumb-looking guys with muscles and wanted no one else to drool over their pics except for himself……..come on man, these guys are not hot are good-looking. Just a few guys who probably have nothing better to do than hang around the gym so they now have muscles………..BIG DEAL!
Please have some respect for yourself and others and stop using the word faggot. Totally fine to call Boss Lau a pervert, but a faggot is a derogatory term to the entire homosexual population. Thanks.
Really?………fagggot is derogatory?…….well, the guy certainly sounded like a fagggot in the article.
i know ! EWWWW
probably a rich old gay pervert ahha…awwww indeed.
Male model not hot. Boss Lau sounds like pervert.
disgrace to male and male’s ego.
pervert or not, the trio of topless males love what this mr lau did
Agree. Money talks, bs walks
EWWWWWW. there’s always time to grow some muscles urself and stare at ur muscle for 48 hour straight! sadist.
disgusting! these people now seem more like ‘ducks’ than so called ‘male model’.
also just knew that the dominic guy used ‘kandy crush’ as his photobook title. what a way to use your girlfriend’s name to promote your stuff! no wonder kandy broke up with him! she must regret chasing him earlier!
how dare they wear hayabusa gear when they look like that. I’m going to have to refund my gear, sweet jesus
I wonder what happens to the huge amount of books when they arrive to the guy. Swimming in them perhaps? And what if other people wanted a copy? Haha
wasn’t there a scandal early on revolving around him law and other artist and the guy who was obsessing over them is “mr. lau” as well?
maybe it’s the same guy who purchased all their copies!
omg where is he going to keep all those book? what i pervert old man lol
Are they all the same copies of the same books? If so, what is the point of buying so many of the same copies??? What a waste of money and space…
3 different books, each has 8000 copies. Total 24 000 books. This boss Lau have too much money and don’t know what to do with it.
or an interesting advertisement ploy to promote this ‘book’ further!!!!
