Do Yung Mei Ling and Kent Tong fight behind closed doors?
[Interview with Yawng Neiwen]
The phone kept ringing at her home. It was hard for Miss Yung Mei Ling to get up and pick up the receiver. I gave my name and immediately told her what I wanted to know.
I said, "There's something I want to ask you face to face."
Hearing the seriousness of the situation, Yung Mei Ling's spirits lifted and she asked nervously.
"I've just come back from filming and I'm very tired, so please tell me what's going on."
"Can we come out and talk about it?"
"I'm going to report to the Duke of Zhou. I'll meet you at the coffee house in three hours. Can I meet you there?"
I arrived at the coffee house on time, and soon afterwards, Yung Mei Ling arrived in a hurry, and she said, panting like a cow.
"We only have half an hour to talk, I've got an announcement and I have to work again."
I opened the door and asked, "Do you and Kent Tong often fight behind closed doors?"
Yung Mei Ling asked with wide eyes, "Why do you ask me that? Who told you that?"
I told her the source of the information. I said, "I have a friend who lives next door to you, and she told me." Yung Mei Ling was amused, but she covered her mouth and said, "With your powers of observation, do I look like someone who wants to fight? Kent and I are grown-ups, we wouldn't be so childish. If we did fight, Kent would be a boy and I would be a girl, so I wouldn't be a match for him."
Since Lau Wing beat his wife, fights and quarrels have become a hot topic among couples in the industry, and it's not surprising to hear from the roadside news agency that Yung Mei Ling and Kent Tong are fighting. I looked up and down at Yung Mei Ling and noticed that she had lost a lot of weight and her face was even more haggard. Why is her face so thin?"
Yung Mei Ling took a sip of tea and said, "I'm not unhappy, I'm in a good mood, but even an iron man would lose weight after working day and night on a movie."
I teased her and said, "Isn't it because I've been playing too much mahjong all night?"
Yung Mei Ling squeezed a reluctant smile on her face. "I'm so tired that even if I win the mahjong game, I won't play mahjong! I'd better go and talk to the God of Zhou sometime."
Yung Mei Ling was so tired, she had always been very enthusiastic about fighting in the Quadrangle, but now she said she would rather go to God of Zhou than open a table.
"Kent Tong once blamed you for playing mahjong all the time. Is that true?"
"I don't deny it. I like to play mahjong very much and I like to go out with some friends. But sometimes when there's an extra person, Kent will always quit on his own, so how can you say I'm leaving him out?"
"You have to open a table, so Kent is forced to find another show, and when he has no one else to go with, he goes to Sandra Ng. Are you comfortable with Kent being with her?"
"It's not that I don't know Sandra Ng, we're all friends anyway."
"Did you say anything to Kent when it was rumoured that he was dating Sandra Ng?
"No, because we are all in the entertainment business, so I understand that there is a lot of trouble in this business."
Although she kept her eyes on the flowers on the table and didn't look at me, I could tell from her tone of voice and expression that she didn't like the fact that I was associating Kent Tong's name with another girl. "Are you angry with Sandra Ng?"
Yung Mei Ling shook her head and said, "No, I am not angry with her. You should know that I am happy and angry, I laugh when I am happy and cry when I am unhappy, I don't pretend and I don't hide."
I know that Yung Mei Ling is quick to speak and I have a question I have always wanted to ask her and now I have the chance. "Some people in the industry say that you have contempt for Kent Tong..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Yung Mei Ling asked, "Who is that person in the circle? Why do you say that?"
I said, "You don't have to care who that person is. The most important thing is what do you think about this statement?
Yung Mei Ling said seriously, "How can I despise him? What is so despicable about Kent? What's so great about me? There is no basis for saying that I despise him."
"In terms of education, you're a university student and he's not half as educated as you are."
Yung Mei Ling sniggered: "Is there still a song about a family being right for each other? I'm a university student, but Kent's education isn't too bad, he's also a secondary school graduate, and he's earning a really good income at the moment, and he's been working hard for years, so he's very motivated."
"But he's always given the impression of being a flirt and insecure, so you've never been seen as a couple." I told her frankly.
Yung Mei Ling defended Kent by saying, "Actually, Kent is not that flamboyant, but his image on TV is often that of a traitor, which is why he is misunderstood by outsiders. If you get to know him, you'll understand that he's not a bad guy."
"When he's in bed and flirting with the lead actress in a movie, do you see the 'hot eyes'?
"I'm also a movie actor, so I don't understand. I'm always in love with Miu in movies. After all, acting is acting, reality is reality, and we can't compare."
"I understand that your Missy is very sharp, can he stand it?
Yung Mei Ling said, "People often say I have a Missy's temper, but when have I ever had a Missy's temper? I'm not a spirited woman, so why should he put up with it?"
"When are you going to walk into the church?"
At this point, Yung Mei Ling looked at her watch and said hurriedly "Oh, I've got time to go to work. I'll leave that question for another time, shall I?"
Since she was in a hurry, there was nothing I could do, so I had to leave the question of the marriage between Yung Mei Ling and Kent Tong for another time.

翁美玲與湯鎮業閉門打架？
【訪談亞翁內文】
翁美玲拍《楚留香之蝙蝠傳奇》，忙得半死，她家中電話響個不停，翁大小姐好不容易才爬起床，拿起聽筒，阿翁聲音沙啞，說話含糊不清，她以低沉的聲音問：「什麼事？」
我報上姓名，馬上說出來意，
我說：「有件事，我想當面
找你問清楚。」
聽我說得事態嚴重，阿翁精神為之一振，她很緊張地問：
「我剛拍完戲回來，十分疲倦
，有什麼事請快說。」
「可否出來詳談？」
「我現在去周公那裡報到，
三個鐘頭後，我們在咖啡屋
見面好嗎？」
我準時到咖啡屋，不久，阿翁
匆匆趕來，她氣喘如牛地說：
「我們只有半小時傾談，我接了通告又要開工。」
閒話休提，我開門見山地問：「你與湯鎮業是不是經常閉門打架呀？」
阿翁瞪大雙眼問：「怎麼這樣問呀？是誰告訴你的？」
我實不相瞞地告訴她消息的來源，我說：「我有一個朋友住在你的毗鄰，是她告訴我的。」
阿翁覺得啼笑皆非，她掩著嘴笑說：「憑你的觀察力，你看我似動不動要打架的人嗎？阿KEN和我都是大人，不會如此幼稚的，中間失和是有的，但決不會動手。」
阿翁輕鬆地說：「如果真的打起來，阿KEN是男孩子，我是女孩子，我也不是他的對手啦！」
大祗自從劉永打老婆之後，圈中情侶打架吵架便成了熱門話題，路邊社消息指出阿翁與阿KEN打架亦不會令人置疑。
我上下打量著阿翁，發覺她消瘦了許多，玉顏更見憔悴，我隨口問：「有滿懷心事嗎？何以玉顏
瘦損？」
阿翁喝一口茶說：「我不是不開心，我的心情很愉快，不過日以繼夜的趕戲，就算是鐵人也會捱瘦啦。」
我取笑她說：「不是因為通宵麻雀打得太多嗎？」
阿翁臉上擠出勉強的笑容：
「收工回家，累得要死，就算打
麻雀贏定，我也不會打啊！
有時間最好去找周公傾偈。」
翁美玲實在疲累得很，她一向對攻打四方城十分熱中，但如今却說寧願找周公也不想開枱。
「湯鎮業曾怪責你時常搓麻雀
而冷落他，可有此事？」
阿翁喝一口茶再說：「我不否認，我很喜歡打牌，跟幾個朋友走在一起，有什麼好得過開枱，但有時剛
剛夠腳，多了一個人，阿KEN多數都會自動退出，那麼怎可以說我冷落他呢？」
「就是因為你要開枱，阿KEN被迫另外找尋節目，在苦無佳人相伴之際，他就找吳君如了，
你放心阿KEN跟她在一起嗎？」
深明大義的翁美玲說：「我跟朋友開枱，他跟朋友一起上街看電影，是極其平常的事，怎會不放心？
我不是不認識吳君如，反正大家都是朋友。」
「傳出阿KEN跟吳君如拍拖，有沒有對他表示什麼？」
「沒有，正因為我們大家都是吃娛樂飯的人，所以我了解這一行的是非特別多。」
雖然翁美玲說話目光一直向桌上的花朵投射，沒有正視我，但從她的語氣及表情，我看出她不太喜歡我將湯鎮業的名字與別的女孩子連在一起。「你生吳君如的氣嗎？」
阿翁搖搖頭說：「不，我沒有生她的氣。你應該知道，我這個人喜怒形於色，開心的時候就笑，
不愉快的時候就哭，從不扮嘢，也從不隱瞞。」
我知道翁美玲快人快語，有一個問題，一直想問她，這回找著機會了：
「有圈中人說你對湯鎮業心存輕視...」
話還沒有說完，阿翁即問：「那圈中人是誰？為什麼這樣說？」
我說：「那人是誰你不必理會了，最重要的是你對這句話怎樣看法？」
阿翁很認真地說：「我怎會輕視他？阿KEN有什麼地方令人輕視呢？
我有什麼了不起呢？說我輕視他，實在是沒根據的。」
「論學歷，你是大學生，而他的學歷不及你一半。」
阿翁嗤笑：「現在還有門當戶對這支歌嗎？我雖是大學生，但阿KEN的學歷也不太差，他也中學畢業，
而且他目前的收入實在不錯，還有，多年來他不斷努力工作，很有上進心。」
「但他始終給人花弗的感覺，缺乏安全感，所以你們這對一直不被看好。」我坦言相告。
阿翁為阿KEN辯護說：「其實阿KEN的為人不是那麼花弗的，不過，他在電視上的形象，常以奸人的臉孔出現，所以外間人才會對他誤會，如果與他相處下去，便會了解他為人實在不錯。」
「他做床上戲與電影的女主角調情，你會不會看到『眼火爆』呢？」
阿翁還是笑著說：「不會，那些都是做戲而已，我也是做戲的，我怎會不明白，我在戲中時常與阿苗做情侶，難道我們就是情侶了嗎？做戲畢竟是做戲，現實終歸是現實，不能相提並論的。」
「據我所了解你的大小姐脾氣倒很犀利，他能忍受嗎？」
阿翁大發嬌嗔說：「人家常常說我有大小姐脾氣，我幾時發過大小姐脾氣呀！
我有時很氣憤，我又不是潑辣的女人，有什麼要他忍受呢？！」
「你們打算幾時走進教堂呢？」
說到這裡，阿翁望望手錶，急忙地說：
「噢，我夠鐘開工了，這個問題留待下次見面再回答你，可不可以？」
既然她趕時間，我也沒法子，翁美玲與湯鎮業結婚問題只有留待下回分解吧。
