Joey
Wong Cho Yin is cool to the press in her new film promotion.
Perhaps Joey
Wong Cho Yin has been estranged to the media after such a long
hiatus, or perhaps she deliberately was playing it cool. After
finally choosing Japan to be her base of return, on the 3rd when
she met with the press, Wong Cho Yin was cooler than Best Actress
Maggie Cheung Man Yuk. Without even smiling, Wong Cho Yin stayed
for ten minutes without any expression then left! The Sino-Japanese
collaboration Pekin Geijin Who Are You? (Beijing Yuen Yun Who
Are You) starring Wong Cho Yin and Japanese actor Ju Ying Jik
Yun will be released in Japan on the 20th.
To promote
the movie, the film company held a press conference and a premiere
in Tokyo. The reaction to press conference was not enthusiastic.
There were around 10 local and 15 Taiwan and Hong Kong reporters
presented. Comparing to 200 reporters turn out for the return
of Akina Nakamori, it was not a major event. On the press conference,
Wong Cho Yin appeared to be without emotions, nor did she directly
communicated with the reporters. She was dressed in black, with
heavy make up, appearing to be cold and expressionless. Wong Cho
Yin said with Mandarin, "I am very glad I get to work with
the Japanese actor Ju Ying Jik Yun, and very happy to working
with a Japanese film company on a movie related to China."
As for her
recent situation and emotional life, the extremely cool Cho Yin
did not mention one word. Basically, the 20 some reporters didn't
have a chance to interview the stars of the movie. Everyone only
listened to the introductions by the master of ceremony. During
the introductions, the master of ceremony constantly reminded
the press that Wong Cho Yin's new album will soon be released
in Japan.
After the
press conference, Wong Cho Yin accompanied by the film company
personnel attended the film's premiere.- Joey Wong Cho Yin's romance
and career have great rises and falls After Wong Cho Yin entered
show business with her beauty and her height, she has openly been
involved with Taiwan singer Chai Chun. During the period she was
rumored with Tony Leung Chiu Wai. In 93, Wong Cho Yin and Chai
Chun split and Wong Cho Yin entered the marriage of wealthy businessman
Lam Kin Ngak and Tse Ling Ling. In December 1993, Wong Cho Yin
admitted involvement with Lam Kin Ngak. Initially she rejected
his advances, but after Lam decided to divorce TseLing Ling, her
relationship with Lam Kin Ngak began to become clear.
From the
middle of 93 to the beginning of 95, Wong Cho Yin was almost completely
detached from the film world, as she enjoyed her sweet romantic
life with Lam. Lam Kin Ngak and Wong Cho Yin's relationship came
to an end in May 95, in September of the same year, witnesses
claimed the pair began arguing in a hotel. After the reports surfaced,
Wong Cho Yin reportedly returned toTaiwan to pick up the pieces
until February of last year when the Taiwan press discovered she
has returned to the side of her old boyfriend Chai Chun, who will
produce her record.
However her
appearance at the press conference was her first public appearance
in 5 years.

support for Cho Yin's return. Thus the company has contacted Wong
Cho Yin, hoping she can come to Japan and promote the movie before
Christmas."Wong Cho Yin needed to speak fluent Japanese dialogue
in the movie,so before the shoot, Joey appeared to be very nervous.
In the end
she was able to handle it, impressing the entire production crew,
since only in the matter of a few short months she was able to
learn to speak fluent Japanese."This movie is the first script
Wong Cho Yin chose after a carefulselection process. In the movie
she plays a television journalist, who in order to report and
study on the Pekingnese Ape Man goes to China for research.Finally
she encounters the ape man and falls for him. After reading the
script Wong Cho Yin agreed to star and even personally went to

Joey
Wong Cho Yin plays a reporter in Japanese film Beijing People.
After the
end of Joey Wong Cho Yin's relationship with Lam Kin Ngak, she
returned to Taiwan but chose to resurface in Japan. She already
has proven the decision is correct because she just signed a record
deal withJ apan's Amuse company, and is set to star in Tojo film
company's But GaingYun (Beijing People).

sizable income Cho Yin would also receive shares of the international
profit. One wonders if her boyfriend Chai Chun gave her any suggestions
about her decision to return in Japan? According to Taiwan sources,
Wong Cho Yin has officially accepted Japan Tojo company's new
film But Gaing Yun which would begin shooting inTokyo in May.
The shoot would last 3 months, so she must stay in Japan fora
period of the time.

working hard to enter theJapanese entertainment scene, so the
chances of her agreeing is slim.
