History
EEG was founded by a well-known wealthy businessman in Hong Kong, Albert Yeung. The music label was originally called Fitto Record, until 1999. During the Fitto era, artist signed under the label includes Julian Cheung, Bondy Chiu, and the late Roman Tam. The label is affected by 1997 Asian financial crisis, which has caused the label, to be acquired by EEG in 1999. During the EEG's acquisition of Fitto, Nicholas Tse has became one of the artist rosters.
Most EEG's artists are most popular among Hong Kong entertainment nowadays; some examples include Twins, Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung, Raymond Lam, Nicholas Tse, and Joey Yung. In the beginning, EEG was only involved in CD and DVD publishing; however, they have since diversified their business to include movie production and concert organization.
A division of Emperor Motion Picture Group, JCE Movies Limited is a film production and distribution company co-founded by Hong Kong star, Jackie Chan and Albert Yeung.
