TVB's new series "Heavenly In-Laws" held a promotional event at a Tseung Kwan O shopping mall yesterday, attended by Nancy Sit, Joey Leung, Linda Chung, Yuen Wah, Wong Cho Lam, Joel Chan and Winnie Yeung. This series will begin airing on TVB's Pay Vision and there are suggestions that the reason why this show has been relegated to the paid service is all down to Joey's bad behaviour. During the games, Joey was 'punished' by the female stars for being a 'bad man', but he did not mind at all, saying it was all just publicity, eagerly trying to sweeten up the company.
Since the earlier 'shaking car incident', Joey's career has taken a sharp dive and he has been relegated to presenting shows on the Mandarin channel TVB8. As for him preventing the series from being aired on the mainstream channels, he says: "This is promotion, so whatever I say I will treat as a promotional tactic. You can ask me and then ask Nancy and then we successfully make the news on two days!" Does he feel a shame that this show will only be seen on Pay Vision? He asks in return: "Why is it a shame? (Lower audience numbers?) You can't see it that way. (Will you reflect this to the company?) As an artiste, I will just do my own job."
The earlier release of the show in the Mainland was a success and this has brought Joey some opportunities for stage appearances. Talking of the reports that ex-girlfriend Margaret Chung already has another boyfriend, he says that they are still good friends and keep in touch. He feels that to find another man is a personal thing and he will just focus on his work. He says: "It is not really worth mentioning and spending so much time on." He says that his own lovelife is a blank page. Does he want a happy family like Hacken Lee? He says that everyone wants it, but he will put his work first. As for suggestions that TVB are looking after him by allowing him a cooling-off period, he is very tactful and says: "TVB looks after everyone and is a very helpful company." As for the tricks played on him at this event, he says he is very open-minded and will just do his own job.
Nancy on the other hand is a little disappointed that the show has been sent over to Pay Vision, because it has been popular in other places. She did reflect this to TVB General Manager Stephen Chan and executive Tommy Leung, who have said that the show will air on Jade sometime. Does she feel that Joey has spoilt it for everyone? She says: "It shouldn't be his fault. The audience know how to separate this and will just watch the show."
As for the earlier clips of a semi-naked celebrity being posted on the internet and alleged to be Yoyo Chen, Nancy says she does not know who Yoyo is, but finds this very despicable to put the clip on the net. She says: "I don't know what the relationship was like, but I would urge all girls not to film these scenes even in the height of passion because if you are careless, then things will happen." She smiles that when she went to the toilet once, her daughter immediately started filming her with her new phone. When she noticed, she immediately demanded that the clip was deleted. She hopes that the person in the clip is not Yoyo and that in this modern world, then although men would love to have the clips, women have to learn to say no. "I have taught my daughter how to say now, because it is easy to say yes, but hard to say no."
Cho Lam and Yoyo have been working together in "Best Selling Secrets", but he says he does not know about the incident and he cannot be sure she is the person in the clip, so he dare not say anything. As a colleague, he will be concerned for her. Would he ask his girlfriend to make these videos? He says: "Of course not and Yoyo is a good girl. (Is her boyfriend bad though?) I have heard her say that she has a boyfriend."
Linda indicates that she would never make these clips with her boyfriend and the most they will do is pose for photos with their arms over each other's shoulders. She is also unhappy for the people involved and hopes they will be more careful. She says that she will not even allow people to fix her computer. Joel smiles that he would never be so perverse towards his girlfriend and he feels that these things do not need to be kept anywhere other than in your memories. He hopes that everyone will be okay.
