JOEY
WONG TSO-YI ACTIVE IN JAPANESE MARKET AGAIN ACTS IN SERIES AND
WILL RELEASE ALBUM
Apple --
After splitting up with Lee Kin-Ngok, Joey Wong has been in the
doghouse in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. In the near future,
she will be active again in the Japanese entertainment circle.
In March she will release an album in Japan. Also, she will be
acting with hot Japanese star Takenouchi Yutaka (Juk Ye Noi Fung)
in the final installment of the television series SAI GEI MOOT
DIK SI PIN (DOOMSDAY'S POEM). [Japanese / English title: Sekimatsu
No Uta / The Last Song] dn 1/26/99
The show
features guest stars in every episode. Earlier Ryoko Hirosue (Guong
Moot Leung Ji) and Takao Osawa (Dai Jat Gwai Hung) have made appearances.
In the show, she will be playing a deaf and mute woman with a
broken heart. Even though her character will not have speak Japanese,
such a role is very challenging. According to Japanese sources,
Joey Wong's first performance with Juk Ye Noi Fung was critically-acclaimed.
Her performance was very open. If she were to be judged, she'd
get 90 points. However, Joey Wong herself did not like the role
that much. She said, "love should be a two-sided affair.
For me to play a character that has an unrequited love for Juk
Ye Noi Fung, I feel a bit troubled by it. However, the first installment
of this series had Guong Mut Leung Ji in it so I was naturally
very happy when they asked me to do the sequel."
Although
the production standards of the serial are high and a popular
Japanese star guests stars in almost every episode, the ratings
for the serial have been very poor. Even the drawing power of
Juk Ye Noi Fung is not enough. It is not known what the ratings
will be by the time the serial ends.

Joey
Wong Cho Yin begins crying at her Taipei press conference.
Joey Wong
Cho Yin and Chai Chun recently released their Mandarin records
in Taiwan simultaneously. The couple on the 19th held a press
conference in Taipei. The rumor involving Wong Cho Yin and Lam
Kin Ngok which led to the ending of Lam Kin Ngok marriage to Tse
Ling Ling has surprised both the Hong Kong and Taiwan show business.
Because of the gossip, Joey hasn't talked to the press for 3 years.
Thus her public appearance with her lover Chai Chun attracted
nearly 200 reporters, drawing a crowd like the Charlie Yeung Choi
Nei retirement press conference and the Jon Lee Chung Sing and
Sandy Lam Yik Lin wedding announcement. However the reporters
were disappointed by the press conference. Wong Cho Yin and Chai
Chun did not appear together, as they sang and fielded questions
respectively and refused to pose for photos together. The two
songs Joey "sang" were sung live but with a tape. The
reporters' questions had to be written down and handed to the
host, "filtering" out all of the sensitive questions.
Even so, the questions from the press were related to both parties,
making the mood more mysterious and fun.
W: Wong Cho
Yin
C: Chai Chun
P: Press
P: Please
talk about how the two of you get back together.
C: It was
simple. One day, I suddenly got Siu Yin (Wong Cho Yin)'s call
from Canada. I felt rather strange, hearing over the phone, "Chai".
Although we have not contact each other for awhile, answering
her call was like answering a family member's call. I called her,
"Little sister!" and asked her where she was, when she
was coming back, then I said I would look for her in Canada.
P: When did
you decide to get married?
C: When two
people have been together for more than 10 years, the feeling
is like that of a family. There is a familiarity when we are together.
Actually whether we get married or not doesn't really matter,
but for our family and children, I hope after her music career
settles down, we can get married before 2000. I don't mind if
we get married and have children atthe same time.
P: How many
kids do you want?
W: We definitely
have to have children, but it's easier to have them than to raise
them. We still have to prepare psychologically.
P: Wong Cho
Yin how did you adjust from the rumors? Chai Chun how did you
pass the low point of the relationship?
W: The rumors
were about me. With my work ethic, no matter right or wrong, I
have tried. I accepted what I got whether I deserved it or not.
It has been around 3 years since I last appeared in public (At
this point, Wong Cho Yin began to cry. For awhile she couldn't
speak). I really would like to thank my boyfriend, the road of
a relationship is difficulty. We weren't together in the middle,
and the relationship with her was like a lifetime ago. How can
I describe it? I can't describe it.
C: Love isn't
always successful. At the time I felt hopeless, but I couldn't
just stop living because there is no hope. True love cannot be
forced. At the time I was examining whether I have erred in this
relationship and discovered I too made mistakes. I couldn't give
her a sense of security.
P: What is
the most attractive about Chai Chun to you?
W: His musical
talent, like playing guitar, the air and feeling of his music.
Of course many can play the guitar, but when he plays the feeling
isn't the same.
P: Are you
worried that another third party will show up between you and
Wong Cho Yin?
C: We are
both in this business, both are transparent people. We have to
be stronger than the average walkers on the road of love, we can't
have doubts.
P: Wong Cho
Yin, will you ever share a stage with Chai Chun in his concerts?
W: Experience
is a problem. I have a lot of expectation for myself, andI still
need to practice.
P: Do you
have anything you want to say to the other?
C: I want
to ask her when we will have a "result". I am also very
appreciative of everyone's well wishes. I hope that she can retire
in the movies too, because she is a very professional actress.
W: I sincerely
thank him.

Chai
Chun and Joey Wong Cho Yin will release their albums on the same
day.
It would
appear that Chai Chun and Joey Wong Cho Yin will soon make a major
announcement. According to sources Chai Chun during the Lunar
New Year changed his beloved Hung Yum Music Workshop's name to
Chai Yin Music Workshop. Apparently the title is created out of
their names and Chai Chun already sees this girlfriend as his
other half. At the same time, sources said Seung Wa Records is
considering for both to release their albums on March 15th and
for both to attend a press conference together. Whether this will
be an opportunity for the pair to announce their wedding plans
everyone will have to wait and see.

Chai Chun
and Joey Wong Cho Yin, who plan to wed after the Lunar New Year.
Their wedding date was accelerated by the hospitalization of Chai
Chun's 70 some year old father for cancer. His final wish is to
see his youngest son Chai Chun walk down the aisle with Joey Wong
Cho Yin. Upon talking to Wong Cho Yin and consulting with Wong's
family, the wedding ceremony has been scheduled for after the
Lunar New Year.
Chai Chun
and sister Chai Yu have been going to the hospital before their
70 some year old father is there for cancer. One late night his
father lying the bed said to Chai Chun, "Your brother and
sister are already married, only you are left. While I am still
here, take care of the wedding ceremony!" Chai Chun understood
his father's final wish and relayed it to Wong Cho Yin who nodded
in agreement. Chai Chun felt that after more than a decade, Wong
Cho Yin's parents have treated him very well. "Siu Yin's
parents have always treated me like a part of the family. For
this wedding, I have to personally visit Siu Yin's home and ask
Papa and Mama Wong before I can announce the date. Due to my father's
illness, the date cannot be dragged on any longer, probably after
the Lunar New Year!" Chai Chun is busy recording for a March
release, then will head to Singapore to help with Power Station's
concert. Then on the Lunar 4th and 5th he will bring Wong Cho
Yin for 2 concert dates in Las Vegas. After that he and Siu Yin
will quickly return to Taipei to prepare for the wedding.
"Siu
Yin and I once planned for a holy and serious ceremony in Tibet,
unfortunately due to father's current illness, the plans have
changed. We will hold our wedding in Taipei, but only friends
and family are invited, unlike some artists who even broadcast
the wedding on television. To us that is like doing a show. Siu
Yin and I only want a ceremony that friends and family wishing
us well."
"After
all the turbulence, Siu Yin and I are cherishing our simply and
fortunate life now. Siu Yin and I are completely different people
who are deeply attracted to each other. I like to take care of
people, she likes to be taken care of. Only then did we finally
get together after breaking up!"
