Rumours are flying around. The truth is not clear
Interview with Yung Mei Ling and Kent Tong
The two lovers used to live together on Broadcast Drive in Hong Kong, upstairs and downstairs, but now Kent Tong has moved back to his old home in Mei Foo Sun Chuen. "Are you separated?"
"Don't talk nonsense, it will be misunderstood."
Perhaps there have been many news stories about them living together, so Kent was not nervous about these two sensitive words, but replied indifferently, "I did move from Broadcast Drive to my old home."
"Did Yung Mei Ling 'order' you to move out?" In late 1984, it was widely rumoured that the two were already living together.
She said, "It's all Tom's fault. He doesn't live anywhere but upstairs, and when people see us coming and going, they'll say we're living together! I'll force him to move out. Sooner or later, I'll have to force him to move out, so that I can have some peace and quiet."
"She didn't force me to move out, but I did it of my own accord. The main reason is that my flatmate has found another place to live and I can't afford to pay the HK$5,000-odd rent alone, so I'd rather move back to my old place and save the money for food and drink." Kent Tong explained.
Recently, there has been a lot of scandalous rumours about Yung Mei Ling, and she has just been rumoured to be having an affair with Miu Kiu-wai, and then with Tony Leung. But Kent Tong is indifferent to these rumours
"I've been numb to such things for a long time. I don't know what's going on. I went to Taiwan for a month to shoot a movie, and when I came back, there were rumours about this and that, and I couldn't figure out what was going on!" He said calmly
"So you didn't ask her yourself?"
He said, "What?, I don't know, if she really likes someone else, it doesn't matter, it's not something that can be controlled by a man, is it?"
"I heard that the rumours about Tony Leung and Yung Mei Ling have made you feel resistant to him?"
"How come? We're friends, but we don't get to see each other much. You can't be too petty and believe whatever people say, then how can you be bothered to make money? In this world, everyone works and works to make more money, and I am no different." said Kent Tong frankly.
"When you marry, will she help you make money together?"
"It depends. I can afford to support her, so it's best if she doesn't work. I'm planning to quit in a few years and start my own business. Otherwise, when you're 40 or 50, who will love to watch you?" Kent Tong says indifferently, stating the cruel truth of the film industry without a trace of emotion.

傳言滿天飛．真假莫辨
【翁美玲訪談實錄】
以前，這對小情人同居在香港廣播道，湯住樓上、翁住樓下，現在湯鎮業由廣播道又遷回舊居美孚新村。「你們分居啦？」「不要亂說，會被人誤會的。」
可能已經有很多新聞傳說他們同居，所以對這兩個敏感字眼，阿湯並不緊張，只是淡淡地回答：「不過，我確實已經從廣播道搬回舊居了。」
「是不是阿翁『勒令』你搬出去？」由於在八四年年尾，圈中就盛傳他倆已雙宿雙飛。圖：網友loulan提供
阿翁曾經到處闢謠：「都是阿湯多事，哪裏不住，偏偏住我樓上，進進出出被人看見，當然是說我們『同居』啦！哼！遲早啊，一定要逼他搬走，也好圖個耳根清靜。」
阿湯笑著搖頭：「不是她逼我的，是我自動退租的。主要是因為和我同住的室友另謀住所，五千多港幣的租金要我一個人頂，實在吃不消，不如搬回舊居，省下來的錢拿去吃吃喝喝多好！」
阿湯解釋著。
最近翁美玲緋聞多多，剛剛傳出與苗僑偉假戲真作，繼而又傳和梁朝偉打得火熱。阿湯對這些傳聞，根本無動於衷
「人在江湖、身不由己，對這種事早就麻木了。而且我從頭到尾就沒弄懂，去台灣拍了一個月的戲，回來就傳這傳那，什麼跟什麼都搞不清楚！」
他平靜地說
「那你沒問她本人？」
湯鎮業仰天一個哈哈：「問什麼啊？」
肚量很大的樣子：「身在這個圈子，包括感情在內，一切都看淡了，她要真的喜歡別人，
也無所謂，這又不是人為的力量能控制的，對不對？」
「聽說梁朝偉和阿翁的傳聞，使你對偉仔有抗拒感？」
「怎麼會？」他一臉大男人式的乾笑：「我們是朋友，見面機會比較少而已。男人是不能太小家子氣的，別人說什麼，你就信什麼，那你哪還有心思去賺錢？」
「這個世界上，每個人營營役役、忙忙碌碌，就是為了多賺錢，我也是一樣。」
湯鎮業坦白地說。
「將來你娶了老婆，會不會讓她幫你一起賺錢？」
「看情況啦！我養的起她，最好她就別工作了。我打算再演幾年就收山，自己搞點生意，
否則到了四、五十歲，誰愛看你？」
阿湯淡淡的說道，不帶一絲感情地陳述這個影劇圈中殘酷的事實。
