Mary Jean Reimer (Yung Jing Jing)'s YouTube channel program
"Dangerous People 2.0" recently interviewed Shirley Yim (Suet Lei).
They have known each other for 47 years. The two are of similar age,
have similar early life trajectories; both debuted as minors, and both
have experienced love with older men, early marriage, and childbirth.
On the program they talked from their views on love to their harsh past
in show business and revealed secrets. Claiming to have regretting
falling in love Lau Kar Leung, Yung Jing Jing aid that a director once
threatened her with a gun and attempted to violate her. Suet Lei was
drunk when a television station executive groped her, luckily Wong Shu
Tong intervened. Yung Jing Jing asked Suet Lei whether she had any
ambiguity with Jackie Chan? She avoided answering and asked, "What
business is that of yours?" In addition, Tang Siu Juen responded to the
unspoken rules of the entertainment industry on "3 Treasure Channel"
yesterday, saying that a TV station producer took him to a night club.
Suet Lei said that when she first met Yung Jing Jing in the TV
station's dressing room, the first thing Yung said was, "I'm not afraid
of you, I'll call my mother!" Suet Lei also replied, "I'm not afraid if
you call your mother to come, let's go out and have a fight!" Nothing
came of the incident; later Suet Lei knew that someone was sowing
discord, and Yung Jing Jing misunderstood that Suet Lei was talking
bad about her behind her back. Suet Lei clarified that when she saw Yung
Ching Ching's photo, praised her for being beautiful but not going to
school was a pity, but someone distorted what she said and claimed
that she accused Yung Jing Jing of stealing the role. Later they made
up and even became good friend with the just as strong willed Isabella
Wong Man Ying.
Yung Jing Jing said that Wong Man Ying faded out of the film
circle after making the movie PROJECT A, and the rumored in the circle
was that the actresses who have worked with Jackie Chan have had
scandals, but certainly Wong Man Ying was an exception because she would
resist to the end. Yung Jing Jing said that the road to enmity with
Jackie Chan was narrow, and reiterated when she helped Elaine Wu Yi Lee
seek justice, but Suet Lei seemed avoidant and said, "Skip!" Yung said,
"Should I be afraid that he has teeth? He's older than us, and his teeth
all fell out." Yung asked Suet Lei if Jackie Chan has harassed her back
then? Suet Lei said, "What business is that of yours? (There are rumors
about you) You ask the one spreading rumors to tell." Yung said that
consensual relationship was fine, but if he must not force others to
comply. Suet Lei agreed and said, "I can't be forced."
The two talked about their underage debut on the show and had
unpleasant experiences; Yung Jing Jing said that she had just finished
filming ENCORE (HOK CHOI). Once she went to the bar of the Excelsior
Hotel with Teddy Robin Kwan and others to listen to jazz. Teddy Robin
asked a fellow director to take Yung Jing Jing home first, but the
director did not take her home but to his residence. He also got
handsy with her in the vehicle, and even took out a gun to threaten her;
Yung Jing Jing did not submit and started fighting with him. She
claimed to have studied kung fu, described the director as short in
stature, warned him that she was underage and he would go to jail if he
succeeded. In the end she escaped and doubled back to the hotel to tell
Teddy Robin that she ran into a rapist.
Suet Lei's experience is similar to Yung Jing Jing's, saying
that when she went to a nightclub with a large group of people. She was
drunk and lying on the sofa when a TV executive at the time groped her.
Luckily Wong Shu Tong stood up, yelled, "You are messing with a little
girl?" and punched him, allowing her to retreat with all of herself.
Yung Jing Jing fell in love with Lau Kar Leung, who was more
than 30 years older than her; and Suet Lei and Norman Chui Siu Keung
were also more than ten years apart in their romance; Yung Jing Jing
recalled the past and regretted, "These old men, they were adults and we
were kids. They shouldn't take advantage of us like this, no matter how
much we like you, you have to reject us." Yung Jing Jing watched the
movie "LOLITA" a few years ago and felt that even if she wanted to
escape what happened to the female protagonist, the man always had a way
to keep her; making her seem to be in a predicament from which she
could not get out of and she stayed until the end out of loyalty.
Looking back on this relationship, Yung Jing Jing said that she
regretted it. She felt that it was a super negative teaching material,
and was glad that her later study of law created another world.
Suet Lei said that she has never regretted falling in love with
Chui Siu Keung, "I love him the most", and believed that various
experiences have created her resilient self now. Yung Jing Jing
recalled that not long after Suet Lei gave birth to her daughter, they
met at a wedding banquet and could not help but tell Suet Lei that she
witnessed Chui Siu Keung hugging another woman. Suet Lei emphasized
that her final decision to break up with Chui Siu Keung was not based on
Yung Jing Jing's whistleblowing, but the result of her personal search
for the truth. Suet Lei also mentioned that her ex-fiancé Lo Wai Lik
married Wong Man Ying, joked that she had inadvertently become their
matchmaker and had no grudge against each other.
In addition to Yung Jing Jing and Suet Lei, Tang Siu Juen also
talked about the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry on "3
Treasure Channel" yesterday, saying that actresses will take the
initiative to cling to the high-ranking officials. Earlier at an
industry insider's event he witnessed a new female star with her eyes
on a married producer, but was unable to close the deal and switched her
target to the director. He saw them leave in pair and had no idea
where they went. Siu Juen also said that when he first joined the TV
station, he was twenty-four or twenty-five years old. A producer asked
him to go for a drink together after work at 1 a.m., they ended up in a
night club and he asked Siu Juen to pay the bill/ The amount was his
salary for several months. He went home and told his father, and
Brother Cheung (Sun Ma Si Tsang) called him dumb.
