Cai Jiusheng

Cai Jiusheng, whose birth and death years are unknown, is a figure in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry and was once the father of Charlene Choi (Ah Sa). It was reported that in July 2004 he organized a "Twins" concert tour headlined by Charlene Choi, with performances held in Guangzhou, Dongguan and Zhongshan. The series of concerts was overseen overall by Cai Jiusheng. Although Emperor Entertainment repeatedly claimed each show was sold out and profitable, internal sources indicated the “sold-out” appearances were in fact fabricated by giving away large numbers of complimentary tickets and otherwise filling the venues. The Zhongshan stop was highlighted in particular: the investor, Guangdong Provincial Performing Arts Company, and the Hong Kong entertainment company ultimately had a financial dispute and jointly paid over RMB 600,000 in compensation.

In this incident, the Hong Kong entertainment company said actual ticket sales were far below the reported success — of the 21,000 seats only about 60% were sold — and revenue failed to cover investment costs, producing instead a loss and compensation payments. They pointed to suspicious items in the accounts, including multiple expenditures without clear receipts and apparently false invoices. Regarding ticket printing, Ah Sa’s father Cai Jiusheng allegedly said tickets were printed in Hong Kong in violation of mainland rules, and that the number of tickets printed differed from the number actually used. It was reported he had printed 26,000 tickets, while public reports showed 21,000 were distributed; the whereabouts of the remaining tickets were unclear.

Cai Jiusheng was also implicated in alleged muddled bookkeeping and financial opacity. The Hong Kong entertainment company questioned his financial operations and filed a lawsuit against Cai and related companies. During the court proceedings, both sides investigated the accounts, ticket printing and financial management. The dispute highlights the complicated financial management issues in Hong Kong–mainland entertainment industry collaborations at the time. Detailed information on his exact birth and death years, early life, and fuller professional background has not been publicly reported or disclosed in official records.
