Yung Mei Ling is the ideal Wong Yung

"After three months of judging, the search for the "Ideal Hibiscus" has finally come to an end. After months of auditions, the decision has finally been made...

Although she was defeated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, she beat 3,000 other girls, including Hong Kong girl Leung Wan-yui, for the audition for the "Ideal Hibiscus".

When she was told by TVB that she would play Wong Yung, her first thought was to thank the Lord, she felt surprised, happy and lucky. The second step is to do her best to play the role well, because the real success is when the role is well received.

She is currently busy with the filming of "The legend of the unknowns", and will not officially perform in "Shooting Eagles" until after she has finished filming "The legend of the unknowns".

Although she has been officially assigned to play "Wong Yung", she is still a newcomer.

"I don't know, but I'd be happy to accept it if the company does," she said. Since "Wong Yung" is an important role, she said she was more or less psychologically burdened.

She did two auditions for the role, the last time she played opposite Lam Ka Wah, and was assigned to do one scene with text and one in the martial arts.

As she has been living in the UK for eight years, she needed to work on her Cantonese pronunciation, talking to her colleagues and asking them to correct her if they hear any mistakes. She has also informed her family in the UK by long-distance telephone of her casting as Wong Yung. Her mother will also be in Hong Kong at the end of the year to spend time with her daughter.

For the casting of "The Ideal Hibiscus", associate Producer Raymond Tang explained the selection process, as it was rumoured that TVB had already made the decision. He said, "Since the announcement of the call for 'Wong Yung', TVB has received over 3,000 applications and the selection process was divided into four stages. After a number of auditions and eliminations, the final selection was made by a panel consisting of General Manager Chan Hing-cheung, Wong Tin-lam, Lau Tin-chee and Ho Ka-luen. The three unsuccessful newcomers, Lui Ching-hung, Lai Yin-shan and Han Siu-hung, will appear in 'The Divine Couple' and will be contracted by TVB.

Wong Tin Lam was in Korea during the casting of 'Huang Rong', and when he came back, the company had selected four candidates for the role. He personally felt that each of the four had their own merits, but that the appearance of Yung Me Ling was slightly closer to that depicted in the original story, and that she had been chosen because of her flexibility in both the written and martial arts scenes during the final audition. However, Wong Tin Lam also thinks it was a risky choice to cast her in a major role, as she is very inexperienced and needs more time to improve her skills despite her appearance.

TVB can not give Yung Mei Ling extra time to attend artist training classes due to time constraints, therefore she has to be given as many acting opportunities as possible. She is sweet and pretty, so she will have no problem playing the role of young Huang Rong," said Wong Tin Lam. If she can't play the role of Huang Rong in her old age in "The Divine Eagle", she will have to find someone else to replace her.

Xiao Sheng, the producer of "Shooting Eagles", said that the shooting of "Eagle Shooting" will start in December, while the shooting of "The Divine Eagle", for which he is responsible, will not start until April next year. He has no other opinion on the casting of Yung Mei Ling as the ideal Huang Rong, saying that she has the potential to act and will become a great actress if given more opportunities. He has not yet found a suitable candidate for the role of Little Dragon Girl, but he has already put forward ten candidates for the role of Little Dragon Girl earlier, but will not reveal them until later.

In addition to the announcement of Ms. Yung Mei Ling as "Huang Rong", TVB has also announced the list of candidates for the lead role in the first series of "The Legend of the Shooting Hero", "The Heart of Iron Blood". There are dozens of main characters, and most of the cast members of the drama team are involved in the drama. Li Siqi (Bao Qiwei). Wong Yat-wah (Guo Jing). Yung Mei Ling (Huang Rong). Miao Qiao Wei (Yang Kang). Yang Pan Pan (Mu Nianci). Tai Chi-wai (Dragging Thunder). Huang Zuo Shi (Hua Zheng). Qin Pei (Temujin). LAU Kong-wah (Wan Yan Honglie). Xia Yu (Qiu Deji). Huang Yuncai (Ouyang Ke). Jiang Yi (Ke Zhen Evil).

翁美玲是理想黃蓉

【關於亞翁的報導】
「理想黃蓉」經三個月評選後,終於有了結果,翁美玲成為「理想黃蓉」。
經過幾個月的時間,經過幾多佳麗試鏡,終於有了決定,嬌小豐盈活潑的翁美玲得到...

所謂「塞翁失馬,焉知非福」,翁美玲雖然在港姐競選中落敗,但在「理想黃蓉」試鏡中,打敗了包括港姐梁韻蕊在內的三千佳麗。

翁美玲表示:「接到無線通知她來演黃蓉時,她第一個感覺是要多謝主,之後又覺得驚奇、開心及覺得自己十分幸運。」翁美玲強調今次能擊敗三千人只是一個初步勝利,第二步是要盡力演好這個角色,因為角色受歡迎,才是真正的成功。

翁美玲目前正忙於拍攝「十三妹」,估計拍完「十三妹」後,才會正式演出「射雕」,至於「婦女新姿」,她每周只做一日節目,相信「射雕」開拍時,她可能會獲得免役,暫時退出「婦女新姿」主持行列。

雖然翁美玲已正式獲派演「黃蓉」,但到底都是個新人,無線會否安排她入訓練班呢?

翁美玲說:「我也不知道,如果公司有此安排,我亦樂於接受。」因為「黃蓉」是一個重要角色,所以她自言或多或少都有心理負擔。

她前後試鏡兩次,最後一次是與林嘉華演對手,當日是被派演文戲及武打各一場。

日夕惡補廣東話
由於翁美玲居留英國八年,廣府話發音不正確,因此她已準備惡補,平日多與同事聊天,並請別人若聽到其錯處時,加以糾正。另外,她也將獲演「黃蓉」的消息,致長途電話通知在英國的家人。而她的母親亦將於年底到港渡假,母女共敘天倫。

對於徵求「理想黃蓉」一事,由於外間傳聞無線早已內定,所以副製作總監鄧偉雄解釋整個挑選過程。他說:「自公佈徵求『黃蓉』後,無線共收到三千多份申請表格,而挑選過程分為四個階段進行。初選共六十多人,經過多次試鏡及淘汰後,最後選了包括翁美玲在內的『理想黃蓉』人選,再經由總經理陳慶祥、王天林、劉天賜、何家聯等組成的小組才作出最後決定。」

鄧偉雄強調:「無線最後決定指派翁美玲演出黃蓉,是因為以她的造型、氣質最接近小說中之人物性格,並非表示曾參予試鏡的梁韻蕊及劉紅芳等不及翁美玲出色。另外,落選的三位新人呂靜紅、黎燕珊、韓小紅等,無線將安排他們在『神雕俠侶』中出現,並將與她們簽約。」

小妮子面臨考驗
「射雕英雄傳」監製王天林表示:「因為在挑選「黃蓉」期間,他在韓國睇景,回來後公司已選出四人作候選。他個人認為,四人各有優點,不過,翁美玲之外形扮相稍為接近原著所描寫的,同時,在最後試鏡時,翁美玲之文場與武打戲,均表現靈活,故選中了她。但是,王天林又認為是次選出翁美玲擔演重角是頗為冒險的,因為她經驗很淺,雖然外形適合,但亦需要多些時間磨練。」

現在無線不會另給翁美玲額外時間參加藝員訓練班,因為時間迫切的關係,只好儘量給她參加多些演出機會。王天林謂:「翁美玲樣子甜美可人,對於演出年輕黃蓉一角是沒有問題的。若她在「神雕」中不能演活老年時代的黃蓉,便要另覓人選代替。」

「神雕」監製蕭笙稱:「射雕」在十二月便正式進行拍攝工作,而他負責拍攝之「神雕俠侶」,要在明年四月才開鏡。對於選出翁美玲為理想黃蓉,他並沒有其他意見,認為翁美玲具有演戲潛質,多點給予機會,定成大器。而劇集中小龍女一角還未找到適合人選,他在早陣子已提出十個候選人擔演小龍女一角,但要遲些才能作透露。

無線除了公佈翁美玲成為「黃蓉」之外,「射雕英雄傳」第一輯之「鐵血丹心」的主角人選名單也公佈了。主要角色有數十位之為,戲劇組大部分藝員均有份參演,該劇部分演員名單如下:謝賢(楊鐵心).李司棋(包惜弱).黃日華(郭靖).翁美玲(黃蓉).苗僑偉(楊康).楊盼盼(穆念慈).戴志偉(拖雷).黃造時(華箏).秦沛(鐵木真).劉江(完顏洪烈).夏雨(丘處機).黃允才(歐陽克).江毅(柯鎮惡)。
