On November 27, 1982, reporter "Zhuzhu" interviewed a  Yung Mei Ling at the TVB station

Since she was chosen to play the role of Huang Rong in The Legend of the Eagles, everyone's attention was focused on Yung Mei Ling, and she was described as "a woman of 3,000 favourites". However, this seemed to be an endless pressure on her, and she said.

"I was worried that if I didn't do a good job as Huang Rong, I wouldn't know what the outside world would say."

The company had reassured her that she should not worry about what the outside world would say, and that she had been chosen from among the thousands of participants and female artists in the show, so she had her own merits.

"So, if I don't do well, the press will have to bear with me." This girl is clever enough to be a face to the press even before "Shooting Eagles" is released.

When it comes to the casting of Huang Rong, a series of jokes come to mind. It was rumoured that a female artist had offered herself to a fat producer in order to win the role of Huang Rong. When the rumours got worse, the copyist Wang Tianlin finally came forward.

"How outrageous! It is said that I am having an affair with a female artist, who is my niece and her father is an old friend of mine. It's obvious that someone is spreading rumours." As Wang Tianlin spoke, the muscles in his face twitched and everyone could see that Uncle Tianlin was really angry.

What angered Wang Tianlin the most was that the rumour had spread throughout the entire station, and the only person who knew about it was him, the "person in question".
"No one ever told me!" Uncle Tin Lam said.

Of course! How could anyone ask Wang Tianlin to confirm such a thing?

Because the "casting of Huang Rong" almost landed Wang Tianlin in jail, he asked Yung Mei Ling, in a narrow-minded manner, if there was any special "method" used to win the role of "Huang Rong" over other rivals. "method"?

"Yuck! What the hell! Who do you think I am?" Yung Mei Ling said with a slight sigh of anger. Then she added.
"So there are really too many people in this circle who like to make fools of themselves. If one is sober enough to think about the whole thing, one will find that it simply can't happen."

"So your affair with Kent Tong was stirred up by the same people?" I asked.

"I'm tired of people asking me about him. I'm good friends with him, and I'm good friends with other male artists too. My career has just taken off and I don't want to fall in love during this period of time, so I don't want to be distracted. Frankly speaking, the opportunity to get Wong Yung is once in a lifetime and I must try my best to grasp it."

《从没”孝敬”过肥监制,翁美玲没有“特别”方法》1982年11月27日,记者“珠珠”在无线台采访阿翁

翁美玲自从脱颖而出当选为《射雕英雄传》内的黄蓉角色后,大家的注意力都全集中在她的身上,有人形容她是:“三千宠爱于一身”。
可是,这对翁美玲本人,却似无穷的压力,翁美玲说:
“我实因很担心,一旦自己做不好黄蓉时,外界的评论不知会如何,而且,以前的米雪又是做得那么讨好。”
公司也曾安慰她,着她不要管外界怎样说话,公司能在云去逸千参加者、女艺员中选中了她,自然有她的优胜条件存在。
“所以,到时若果我做得不好时,你们新闻界也要多多包涵呀!”翁美玲笑着说,这个女孩也倒聪明,《射雕》未出街,已先向报界打照面。
提到选黄蓉,便想起了连串笑话。圈中传出绯闻谓,某女艺员为争得“黄蓉”角色,竟向肥监制“自动献身”,某女艺员是谁,某肥监制是谁,大家都是心知肚明。传闻愈传愈烈时,复制王天林终于挺身而出了。
“真是岂有此理!有人说我与某女艺员有染,该位女艺员是我的世侄女辈,她的爸爸是我的老友,这怎会可能?分明是有人乱传谣言。”王天林说话的时候,脸上的肌肉跟着抖动,大家都看出天林叔实在是很生气。
最令王天林愤怒者是,这个传闻传遍了整间电视台上下同事,唯一最后知道者意是他这位“当事人”。
“从来没有人告诉我!”天林叔说。
当然啦!这种事怎会有人向王天林求证的呢!
因为一次 “选黄蓉”,几乎令王天林身陷“囹圄”,便促狭地问翁美玲,能够击败其他对手夺得“黄蓉”角色,可也有用什么特别“方法”乎?
“呸!见你的大头鬼!把我当作是什么人呀!”翁美玲略带愠怒地说。
然后她又道:
“所以说,在这个圈子里真有太多喜欢无风作浪的人,若是头脑清醒的人,试想下整件事情的来龙去脉,就发觉这根本是不可能发生的了。”
“那么你与汤镇业的拍拖,也是无风作浪的人搅起的?”我问。
“怎么又扯到汤镇业身上,这阵子人家问我汤镇业的事已经问得我烦透了,我与汤镇业是好朋友,与其他男艺员也一样是好朋友呀!我的事业刚有了起步,我不希望在这段时间内谈恋爱,令自己心散,坦白说,能够得到黄蓉的机会是可一不可再,我一定要努力把握之。”
