Neither she nor her mother could read or understand English, the contract language, when they signed. The contracts bind Leong exclusively to EEG for 10 years and are extendable at its sole discretion. The management contract requires she keep her manager 'informed at all times of [her] whereabouts' and 'shall not leave Hong Kong without the prior consent of [the manager]'. EEG controls Leong's finances, receiving all her income on her behalf and deducting its expenses and commissions before she gets anything. She is paid HK$5,000 per month, plus royalties amounting to only 0.867 per cent to 2.135 per cent of net sales depending on the medium. Leong must record an unlimited number of works for EEG and perform all entertainment services asked of her, but it does not have to guarantee she will have work. Leong retains no ownership, copyright or control of any of the works. In the event EEG agrees to sever the contracts, Leong is prohibited from working in the entertainment industry in any capacity for seven years.
