TVB actors have been embroiled in one bed scandal after another. Following Raymond Lam (林峯) and mainland actress, Mavis Pan’s (潘霜霜) bed photo scandal revealing their dating relationship, Ron Ng’s (吳卓羲) girlfriend, Viann Zhang (張馨予), posted a bed photo of herself on his Weibo blog. Viann wore makeup and a black leather jacket while laying upon the bed in the self-taken photo. After Viann’s photo appeared on Ron’s blog, the entry was reposted virally amongst Weibo users!Numerous speculations abounded as to why Viann’s photo appeared on Ron’s blog, including the reason that Viann mistakenly posted her cell phone photo on her boyfriend’s blog. Another view was that it was a “trap” with Viann wishing to “stake her claim” on Ron as her boyfriend. After the photo was released, Ron did not attend a promotional event for Prominent Family "名媛望族" due to “sick leave.” TVB executive, Virginia Lok explained that Viann’s actions were due to her wish that Ron pay more attention to her. However, Viann’s manager said that it was technical mistake. Both sides of the party provided different reasons for the incident.
At 1 AM, Viann’s bed photo appeared on Ron’s blog. Viann wrote, “I’m very tired. After work, I do not want to do anything except sleep and sleep. My head is hurting!” Viann’s self-taken photo resembled Mavis Pan’s bed photo closely, except that Ron was missing in the picture. After Viann’s post, Weibo users reposted the entry almost 10,000 times with 7,000 comments. Several hours later, Viann’s bed photo post was deleted. However, netizens made a screen capture of her earlier entry, thus there was no denying the occurrence.
Ron Ng Hiding From Public Inquiry
Ron Ng was originally scheduled to appear at a promotional event for Prominent Family, but did not appear due to sudden “sick leave.” It was understood that Ron received Virginia Lok’s assistance on bed photo scandal. Ms. Lok explained that Ron was not hiding, but only fell sick coincidentally. Ms Lok said, “The truth is very simple. Miss Zhang (Viann Zhang) has the password to Ron’s Weibo account. His manager and assistant also have password access to help him maintain his blog. As to why Viann behaved in this manner, Ron said that she wished for him to pay more attention to her.”
Ms. Lok revealed that when Viann had posted the bed photo, Ron was not with her at the time. Viann was upset that Ron had attended Toby Leung’s wedding and the after-party with Raymond Lam, partying until dawn. Asked about the relationship between Ron and Viann, Ms. Lok dodged the question and said that dating matters should be addressed to Ron and Viann instead. Ms. Lok will not ask too much about the young people’s matters.
With the high-profile announcement of their relationship, will this affect Ron Ng’s image? Ms. Lok noted that the matter was not too serious. Since Viann had a cameo role in Shaw Brothers’ film, I Love Hong Kong 2 "我愛HK喜上加囍", Ms. Lok smiled and said that Viann was assisting the film promotion.
Viann Zhang’s Manager: “It Was a Mistake”
Viann’s manager explained that Viann had mistakenly posted the photo on Ron’s blog, but did not wish to explain further to avoid misunderstanding. Viann was in yesterday for a film premiere. As to whether Viann was in Hong Kong when the bed photo was taken, the details remain unclear. Chin Kwok Wai, the director of I Love Hong Kong 2, was unaware of Viann’s whereabouts since she was not required onset yesterday. Next week, Viann will arrive in Hong Kong to film the movie.
Unwilling to Remain Behind the Scenes
Mainland actress, Viann Zhang, gained fame for her F-cup chest. While filming Pretty Maid "大丫鬟" in China in 2010, Ron met Viann and the couple started dating in a low-profile manner. However, Viann was unwilling to remain as Ron’s “invisible” girlfriend and her tendency to stake her claim on Ron had an online history. In November 2010, Viann posted a photo of herself taken in Ron’s apartment, with his couch visible in the background, thus exposing their relationship.
However, Ron did not publicly acknowledge his relationship with Viann and had numerous rumors with TVB actresses instead. In June 2010, Ron was photographed picking up Viann at the Hong Kong airport and driving back to his apartment together. Subsequently, Ron traveled to Beijing and was photographed by the paparazzi linking arms with Viann on a date. Although Ron and Viann never publicly acknowledged their dating status, Ron’s status as an attached man was a public secret.
