The normally sharp tongued and merciless Jacqueline Chong Si Man privately was "Miss Congeniality". She had a part in the new film A SECRET BETWEEN US (DAI YUT CHI BUT SI NEI). The leads were new comers and elders had to stand aside. However she still kept an eye out for the two new comers as an attentive big sister.

The film's lead actress was Angel Chiang Ka Man and lead actor was Edward Ma Chi Wai, and her character was quite a jerk. When Chong Si Man saw that they were new comers on the set, during the shoot her own pressure was having to yell at them all the time in the film and treat them very badly. Earlier sh had to mentally prepare them. In one or two scenes she had to yell at them, she had to tell them in advance the she would be very loud and communicated to them that she might suddenly slap the table to keep them from getting scared suddenly. Luckily Chiang Ka Man had television series experience. She did not have to play a big sister character and they could take care of themselves. Instead the crew was always making fun of me because I was very different from how I was normally.

Typecast as the "little bitch", Chong Si Man did not have an easy time with riding her image. This time in her new film she had to play a pregnant madame without any make up, which was quite a big acting challenge for her.

In the film world, she did not have much limitation. Without any nudity she could accept the character. So far in her career she truly played too many "little bitches". This time was a rare occasion that she did not have to be sexy and the character was particularly special, she played a madame and had to be very sloppy. The director did not allow her to put on any make up. She even got a "gross blond" dye job and none of her clothes was pretty. Playing pregnant and without make up for the first time, she had quite a huge attempt this time. Because she trusted director Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum) and they have worked together many time, she trusted his arrangement. Instead the biggest difficult was how to play pregnant. She talked and walked very fast, during the shoot people always joked that she wanted to lose the child. Thus she had to adjust herself and walk slower.

As a daughter of a Malaysian Datuk, Chong Si Man was still all about honor. Even because the previous job was postponed, she would still keep her promise and was never late. At the location air conditioner was blowing like mad, she still insisted on baring her waist. She had no arrogance of a rich kid at all.
