TVB News World - Asian Entertainment News Daily

Last year, after the ‘in-bed incident’, Cecilia Cheung, who was silent for a year, accepted an exclusive interview for Entertainment News Channel with the host, Albert Au, she disclosed the stress and the emotional path she had to take after the incident was exposed. During the interview, Cecilia cried a few times, and pointed out that the hurt came solely from Edison Chen, and scolded that he was a hypocrite and liar!

A: Albert, C: Cecilia

A: For this incident, you’re the first person to speak up; a lot of people think you’re brave. You have been silent for over a year, why did you speak up today?

C: Actually this incident happened a few years ago, my actions weren’t that good too, thus I chose to keep quiet, because every incident was a mistake, but I didn’t know whether this was the best way to keep accept, because this incident was too severe! Why would I keep quiet? Because I felt ashamed, I don’t know how to face the public, but because of this, I learned how to be responsible for my mistake. Thus, this time I chose not to avoid, because I made myself a judge, and at the same time I made myself a criminal, and I myself sentenced myself to jail, I don’t dare to answer to the public, cause I’m scared I’ll invite trouble, but because I want to admit my mistake, thus there’s a bomb inside my heart! I am very scared, I don’t know how to tell people how scared I am, this is my privacy, Edison promised that he won’t let a 3rd party see, so I tell myself it’s okay, because he promised that he won’t let anyone see.

‘I thought I’ll go crazy’

After I received news, and the next day, the whole of Hong Kong was watching those photos, I was really scared! I remembered that Lucas was about seven, eight months old, I was very very scared! I wanted to rush into the room and carry my son, but I haven’t even carried him, I already felt so scared, it’s a feeling that’s hard to tell others! (At that point, Cecilia, who was trying to hold back her tears, couldn’t help it but cried, and was emotionally stressed!) I rushed into the room and carried my son, and then my legs felt like jelly! (Tried hard to control her tears again) My knees were so low that I lost my balance! I carried my 7-month old son, and told myself, I looked at my son, I’m an adult, and if I don’t have the courage to stand up, what would happen to my son? He’s a helpless child, a 7 to 8 months old helpless child! Thus I told myself, no, I need to stand up, at first I thought I would go crazy, but I don’t think I will now.

After the incident, the newspaper also published the news, and I still need to film advertisement, the company and client both thought that I wont attend, but I filmed, (emphasizing) it was really very difficult! (Cried again, and then calm herself down before continuing talking, with tears in the eyes!) I told myself I have to stand up! I did the wrong thing thus I have to be punished, how can I don’t film when my emotions aren’t good? I continued filming (stammering), I knew that I have to be responsible for all my actions, after filming the advertisement and it’s broadcast, the media would write about me, and I’m prepared for it. But one has to be responsible for her own actions! I knew that I was in the wrong, but my friends, my family and my manager all told me not to blame myself and they said: “You’re a victim, it’s none of your business, you don’t have to think about it, frankly speaking, a lot of normal people are doing that, just because you’re a public figure, thus you’re a victim!” But I told everyone I wasn’t a victim. Yes! Maybe a lot of people did those things before, but this incident could be controlled by me! How cant I denied this, I am a public figure, I am an idol, what I did would affect the people who idolized me, thus I told the people around me, don’t say I am a victim, I am not a victim, but I don’t blame anyone, even if the people around me are going to talk about Edison, but I haven’t said a word!

‘I must be responsible’

This time, I can’t push the blames to others again, I’ve been silent for a year, actually my character is that I’m not afraid of anything, thus I chose to tell myself, I need to be punished, and I must faced the incident and be responsible! I didn’t tell any reporters or tell anyone, is because I don’t want to get their pity, but because my photos were exposed, thus I really felt terrible! I feel terrible because I’m a woman. (Controlled her tears and continue talking) I admitted because of my son, I want to be able to tell my son, Mummy did the wrong thing, but it’s over, but I’m also lucky, my daddy and mummy taught me a lot! (Teary eyes!) I must admit if I’m in the wrong, even if I’ll get criticized! Thus I chose to admit this time, if you’re in the wrong you have to admit, even if you’ll get criticized! I did not admit to the truth when my pictures were released, is because for a mum to do such a thing, I don’t know whether it’ll affect my son, and I still have to look at the reactions of the public, but because I’m punishing myself, thus I won’t choose to avoid. Maybe some people would feel that I’m pathetic, or people would feel that I’m doing this to get attention, different people have different views, but I’ll accept all, if I want to completely admit my mistake, I have to learn to accept everything.

Chose to admit after Edison disclosed on the Court

A: Why did you choose to admit after Edison gave his statement in Court in Canada?

C: At first I didn’t think I’ll stand up and admit, because I haven’t finished my sentence in jail, and was careful of my behaviour. But because I saw on the newspaper that he disclosed on the Court, thus I felt that I need to stand up, just like what Edison said, that he wished that all the victims would go back to a healthy and happy person, thus I chose to stand up and talk, and I chose today! (Frustrated) When I saw on the newspaper titled ‘They’ve suffered enough!’ Edison actually said on the Court that ‘they have suffered enough’. I felt that I haven suffered enough! (Determined look) If I haven’t suffered this hurt before, I won’t be responsible for my actions! But today I really have suffered enough, just like what Edison said, all the victims have suffered enough! I had enough of you! The person who gave me the hurt was you, and then you wished that I’m healthy, but the person who hurt me and the media, is you! I had enough of you! You even dare to answer reporters outside the court, and helped me stand up! (Frustrated) I felt that you’re a hypocrite, you actually say that there’s a need to protect the victims, and asked me to stand up, and he actually dared to say: “Whether I made a comeback is not important, what’s important is that the victims make a comeback, stand up and enjoy a healthy life!” He actually dared to lie, I always thought that he believed in the lord and won’t lie, but after reading the newspaper I was disappointed! He actually dared to say he believed and depended in the lord, then lied, WA! (Roll eyes and look at the sky) I’m totally disappointed, I want to tell Edison, instead of hiding under Jesus, why not admit everything to the media!

‘He actually hanged up’

A: This incident happened a year ago, you chose to be quiet for a year, why admit today?

C: This incident happened a year ago, he held a press conference saying he’ll protect the victims, but he did not! I felt that he should just say he’ll compensate the victims (Cold laugh), but did he protect me, the photos are still circulating on the internet, he did not use any ways to stop it, how can I be happy? Why would he stand up? (Teary eyes) 1. He didn’t do anything at all; 2. I can only use a few words to describe: he’s a liar (agitated)! After the incident happened, whatever he said, it was for the public to hear!

C: My manager knew that he would hold a press conference to answer to everything, thus she dialed and asked him how it’s going? And wanted him to give an answer! Because he knew that there’s nothing he can do, but he said: “I’m having a meeting and settling this, it’ll be very fast!” (Imitating Edison) Ah! The reception is bad! I’m still in a state of shock, I’ll call you back, and then he hanged up. After that, I can’t get him anymore, if he was genuinely concerned about protecting the victims, what he should do is at least give a private call and explain, but he didn’t! I am representing all the victims and stand up and tell the public, and also tell him, you did not even answer to your mistake even now, isn’t it better if you didn’t speak up?

A: How much responsibility do you think Edison should be held for?

C: It can only be gauge my each of us, for example, myself, I felt that I learn a lesson, and learned how to faced my problem, my lost, my pride……but I don’t dare to ask him to face it! The only thing I can do is to tell myself that it’s alright if he won’t stand up, but he shouldn’t promised that he would protect those artist, those victims! You said I’m a victim (Asking in a questioning kind of tone), but it’s most important how you see others, I am not happy nor healthy, and don’t have the ability to stand up……I am not that fortunate, he can go overseas, he can sign a singer under him and then be a manager, the others are also not that fortunate, the female artist are not that fortunate! I don’t dare to ask him so be responsible, I mean I want to admit to my own mistake, and then change myself and use my heart to accept and be responsible for these mistakes.

A: Those photos were released during Chinese New Year, so did you go visiting?

C: Wa! It got so bad……(Scream), I have friends coming to visit, and I felt terrible, and my friends tried to act normal in front of me, which made me feel worse……(Stammering), I chose this path, but I felt terrible for my friends when tried to act normal in front of me! Wa! Wa! That moment was terrible but I’m ok, I’m glad that I have such supportive friends!

‘Mother-in-law accompanied her through the rainy days’

A: Have you ever collapsed?

C: I flew to Thailand a few times, because Nicholas was filming there, and I carried Lucas, (Use tissue to wipe her tears), and I felt my heart pumping loudly! I knew that there were a lot of reporters at the airport, and I don’t know whether I felt embarrassed or scared, and screamed when I reached home, because I felt that I’ve affected my family and the Tse Family with my own fault! But I’m touched and very happy, because my whole family supported me, and we only shouted for 2 to 3 times, but what I was upset about, was that this incident caused my seniors, and those elderly to worry. When the photos were out on the first day, my Father-in-law came over, he didn’t say anything, and pretended to amuse Lucas, but he wanted to give me the message that, if there’s any problem, we’ll face it as a family! Just like my Mother-in-law, it’s hard to pin-point the blame for this kind of thing, she just gave me a porcelain figurine, it shows 2 figures on a lotus leaf and there were carving saying “Accompanying through the rainy days’, this figurine was her message to me. My husband was even more supportive, he didn’t ask anything, but said: “It’s okay! Lao Po, it’s okay, there’s still me to support!” My parents were also very supportive, I did not screamed for myself because of this incident, but I screamed for my mother! (There’re somethings that are hard to say) My mother called me, I wanted to tell her the good news but not the bad news, because I felt that I was the one who made the mistake, and I knew I’ll disappoint my mother, but my mother said: “Daughter, don’t face it yourself, I’m okay. If I can shield you, I will shield you!” I was holding on until I couldn’t take it, I told her that I shouted a few times at Lucas, and didn’t know that a woman can be as bad luck as this, and my mother told me a story, (Cried bitterly) thus I told myself that I must be even braver, and faced my own mistakes!

A: Since this incident, you haven’t seen Edison, do you have any messages for him?

C: (Paused) Return me some of my pride and respect for a woman, for this incident, a lot of woman suffered, what I wished was that he would keep the promised he made a year ago, and protect us, and not lying and acting benevolent like now! He said one thing and did another thing, is all just to get the forgiveness of the public, but continued to hurt the victims, media didn’t hurt me, and I want to answer to my own mistake. Mr Edison Chen, I didn’t blame him at all, but what I want to is that……(Agitated), he would learn to respect females, (Cried and plead) I also had a mother, it’s not that only he had his mother to accompany him to the Court, I also have parents!

It was known that Cecilia would be having an interview, thus the host asked about her relationship with Nicholas, and Cecilia said: “I can’t find a better husband!” Other than that, Edison, who was in Singapore, responded to Cecilia’s crying and scolding him, and he said: “It’s my fault from the start till the end; I knew that she was having a lot of stress, if she’ll feel better after scolding me, I am willing to be responsible for everything.”

After Edison had his statements in the Court for the second time, while having an interview outside the Court, he told the media:

I hope that all the victims can stand up.

It’s not important whether I made a comeback, their Well-being is more important.

I wished that they would be healthy and happy.

They have suffered enough.

First time opening her heart in speaking about the artistes sex scandal, Cecilia Cheung besides denouncing Edison Chen, she also choked on her words describing her mentality in the past year. She felt very uncomfortable, thought that she would become crazy, but she has always been "calm" and refused to admit that she was a victim, so she decided to just face the matter with courage. But the media has been chasing after her, causing her to feel that she's dragging her family into this. Also friends who saw the pictures, when they came to send their Chinese New Year greetings, they would pretend that nothing happened, this made her feel even more hard to accept. Fortunately her husband Nicholas Tse and family members has been giving their full support and concern towards her. She felt this she has ran through her life's most difficult time.

"On the day when the news came out, I had to shoot ads, my company and the advertisement agency all thought I wouldn't go, but I still went to do it. It was really hard to bear! I knew that the Media would write a lot about me, but people need to be responsible! I know that I am wrong too." Cecilia frankly said that the Media was very forceful when trying to interview her, making it hard for her to breathe. There was one time she carried her son Lucas back to Hong Kong from Thailand, she knew that there will be a bunch of reporters waiting for her at the airport, she felt that her family were affected: "When I got home, I cried miserably...... I was afraid that I would affect the Tse Family!"

Because the sex photos were released on Lunar New Year, she said in red teary eyes: "When friends came for New Year greetings, my heart felt very uncomfortable, I saw my friends in front of me pretending that nothing had happened, it was even more harder to bear!" But, friends didn't say anything, and another group of friends would feel pleased. Family's support made me very touched." She continued: "When I walked out on the streets the first day, My father-in-law (Patrick Tse) came to my home, he did not say anything at all, he only pretended to look after Lucas, he wanted to give me the message that if there is a problem, the whole entire family will support! Like my mother-in-law (Deborah), she only gave me a doll, it is two dolls holding onto lotus leaves, engraving the 4 words 'Wind & Rain Same Road'".

"My Wife is fine, She has me here"

As for her husband Nicholas Tse, Cecilia depends on him for a new strength for rebound: "My husband didn't ask me anything, he only said one thing: 'Wife, no problem, I am here!'"

Cecilia's parents also gave her their full support, her mom told her: "If mom could bear this, I would bear for you." She said thankfully: "There's one night that it was very difficult for me to hold it in, with my daughter "going so bad", Mom can only show her concern, giving her more courage, facing her mistakes." Speaking of family support, she has cried over the sex scandal 2 or 3 times, already cried into a Tearing Person."

After Edison Chen completed his court affairs, he will be heading to Singapore to prepare for his attendance in a fashion event today. His mother has accompanied him in sending him off at the airport. When asked why he's going back to Hong Kong, Edison said: "To take some time to think about things (When Gillian makes her comeback, will you congratulate her?) I hope that everyone could get back to normal soon." When a Reporter who asked if he had contacted any of the "female main characters" in the scandal, he immediately stopped visiting. Then, he accepted a foreign reporter's question, was asked about the letter not being a help at all, he said: "It's good, if there is something, it's hard to say."

Towards Edison completing his court affairs, Edison's mom expressed that she is relieved a bit, she said: "I am really relieved, Edison's situation, he has already done what he could. When he went to court he was really nervous because before going to court, Edison told me that try his best to powerguard the girls, even if the court despised him. If the court made him answer all questions that was asked, he would rather go to jail if he had to, to protect the girls."

After wards, he had some of his company's colleagues to accompany him in going through the gate, the two security guards did not follow.

Edison's mom watched her son leave with red teary eyes, she accepted an interview from reporters and said: "My son told me that if there is a problem, he must be the person to answer them (referring to the evidence). He rather be sentenced by the court in despising them, go to jail, and still protect the girls. Today I sent my son to the gate, I feel relieved, hope that every girl, her families and Edison will cherish themselves, be themselves again."

Edison's mother said: "Every time my son or daughter leaves, I feel reluctant, but that's okay there is phone and email communication. Although we are far apart, but our care is in the heart. This incident has been a huge impact on Edison, but to him personally, he has matured a lot after the incident. Hope that Edison could remember what had happened and don't make the same mistake again, need to bravely look forward and continue with life. I hope that everyone can give him a chance and give the girls a chance, let them be themselves again."

Steven Ma will start shooting for TVB new series "Pu Song Ling Biography" (蒲松齡傳) and is now currently enjoying a small vacation. Yesterday he and a friend went to a Wishing Tree in Tai Po to make a wish and then ate authentic Hakka pork. He only spent a half day trip and was already very happy.

It has been known that if you toss the wishing disc high enough for it to land on top of the tree, the wish will come true. After Steven wrote down his wish down, he first went to the wishing tree to carefully study it before throwing it. He ended up making a successful throw with the wishing disc landing on the top of the tree, he was very pleased with the results. Seeing the disc up so high on the tree, asked Steven what he wrote down as a wish? He smiled: "The most important is to wish for good health, so can do whatever I want. The most exciting thing is that the throw was successful landing on the very top on the first try, so lucky! Having an authentic meal is never bad!"

Since Steven had been aware that acting is a pleasure, he has been actively practicing his Badminton skills, he felt that life is very siginicant: "actually I am currently quite happy, besides being able to play ball and reading articles, I am comfortable, spending my days happily." Recently Steven has been working hard in preparing for the "Po Song Ling" role.

This is Steven's head shaving experiences!

Koni Lui went to a nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui to perform a swimwear show. The reporter asked if she was afraid of being sexually harassed? She said "I didn't dare to eat dinner. I only ate 3 small pieces of chocolate the whole day. It's the first time performing in a nightclub and I am not afraid the audience will be too enthusiastic. I will stand in the middle as much as possible and there are security guards watching. I'm not afraid. I rarely go clubbing because when I drink alcohol I get a sensive reaction and grow pimples."

RTHK recently has a program Hong Kong action star? Yuan Class people as the program narrates the development of the Yuan Class people and their contribution to action films. After Sumo Hung, Yuen Qiu, Yuen Biao and Jackie Chan, next in line will be a “A lifetime affinity with movies” which is about Yuen De and Cory Yuen. When Michelle Yeoh was casted in Cory Yuen’s Yes, Madam! to become the new generation action actress, she revealed in the interview that Cory has a strict requirement during fighting scenes which requires beauty and good posture. Meanwhile, Cory also know what actions that you can do thus would not force you to prevent any injuries.

In addition, Andy Lau whom had collaborated with Yuen De and Cory Yuen in Saviour of the Soul and Saviour of the Soul II was also interviewed. In the program, Andy quipped that if he failed to do the actions required by Jackie Chan or Sumo Hung, he could have been given two slaps, thus under huge pressure. However Cory took a slow approach allowing actor to learn slowly. Andy remembers a scene in Saviour of the Soul which Aaron Kowk character have his eyes cut by flying dagger which leave him a deep impression.

The Hong Kong pop star at the centre of a sex photos scandal says some of those photos were taken by the women who had sex with him.

Edison Chen was in court today in Vancouver, testifying in a case in which computer technician Sze Ho-chun, 23, was accused of distributing the photos of Chen performing sex acts with well-known starlets.

While Chen admitted that most of the 328 photos submitted in court today were taken by him, he claimed 40 of them were taken by the women in the photos.

Chen was ordered by the judge to answer a question raised by the defendent’s lawyer to identify the four women in the string of sex photos. The four names are: Cecilia Pak-Chi Cheung, Gillian Yan-Tung Chung, Bo Bo Man-Wun Chan and Rachel Sze-Wing Ngan.

In the court today, Chen once refused to identify the women, saying they have suffered enough. But the judge insisted that he must answer the question.

This is the first time he admits to the identity of the women. Before that, only Gillian Chung has admitted publicly that one of the women in the photos was her.

Chen described the scandal as “torture”. He said the release of the photos was a “well-planned attack” on him and the women because they were uploaded to the net bit by bit and gradually, from smaller to larger quantities.

Chen said the photos were taken with the consent of two adults. He had not shown them to any third party and said he’d never meant to share the photos anyone else except the women he took the pictures with.

More than 50 reporters from Hong Kong and local Canadian media were at the court today covering the story.

Perez has always loved to add insulting comments on celebrity photos or maybe draw pictures depicting insults. Yesterday he reported Edison in court and deliberately wrote "pervert" in the English abbreviation "prev" on his photo. Actually he's just saying Edison is a "pervert bug"!

Actually this is not the first time that Perez described Edison as a pervert, in February 2008 when the sex scandal happened, Perez posted Edison's picture and wrote that he's a pervert. But there were many Netizens that read Perez's report and supported Edison, there was one Netizen that told Perez to not "add salt to the injury". Another Netizen denied that Edison was a pervert, he felt that the female victims knew that the pictures were being taken and the person who should be blamed is the computer tech who repaired Edison's computer and leaked the pictures out.

Besides Edison, earlier Perez reported Chow Yun Fat who had always had a healthy image to have admitted in doing plastic surgery while at a promotion in Korea for his new film "Dragonball: Evolution". Perez said: "Couldn't believe that even a man would love vanity. "
