On Joe's radio program, Joe said when he scolded
the reporter, he purposely smiled and didn't want the reporter to take
a picture of him being mad and then make up news about him, so that's
why he smiled the entire time. His meanest photo was just this one.

"No way...I thought to myself that I have
to look at some Buddha religious books; my anger tonight is very big, and
I even feel like hitting someone!" On January 9th at 1:00AM, Joe
kept repeating those words on Nicola's and his radio program "Cool
Valley."
On the night of January 8th, he and his girlfriend
Vivian went to a private place in Lan Kwai Fong to play American pool.
The reporter was constantly chasing after them to get more information
about their dating situation, which made Joe 'want to hit someone' and
scolded the reporter, saying the reporter was 'shameless.' When he was leaving,
he screamed in English to the reporter, "You are loser!" (yes,
the phrase was missing an 'a' in between 'are' and 'loser'... maybe this
was a typing mistake by the reporter).
Joe said on his radio program that it was difficult
for him to understand why the reporter was taking pictures non-stop. They
had already stood still to let the reporter take a picture of them together,
but after the reporter took the picture, he was still following them and
taking their pictures, which was very annoying and had no meaning. The
fact is that the gifted scholar's girlfriend, Vivian, has seldom been
seen in public these past few years, so of course the reporters would
rush to cover her dating lifestyle news. After taking a picture of them
together, everyone still wants to know what else they have planned for
their date.
Vivian knew what Joe was about to do (scold reporter)
and why he did it. She was very embarrassed. At the beginning she said to the
reporter, "Sorry about that," but later she walked first to
go get the car, not caring about Joe 'going crazy' by scolding the reporter.
Vivian and Joe have been in love since 1989. Their dating lifestyle was
seldom ever made public. Last year in September, both of them appeared
together at the "Dragon Loaded 2003" movie premiere and became
the main focus at the event. On January 8th at 9:00PM, the reporter was
at Central on Hollywood Road and noticed Vivian's red BMW car. The reporter
was guessing she might be playing pool again like she had done last month
on the 15th with a handsome male friend, playing American pool at the
nearby Hilltop Plaza. The reporter went up to the Hong Kong Pool Club
to try and see if he could find her.
When the reporter opened the door to the Pool Club, he saw Vivian at
the big hall standing next to the pool table, relaxing and holding a big beverage
and seemed to be resting. The reporter didn't see any friends next to
her. Everyone at the club was Caucasian (white) people. It seemed like
nobody recognized Vivian as being a celebrity. After the reporter took
2 photos, there was a staff member who immediately came over and put his
hand over the reporter's camera lense. Also, there were 2 foreign men
who told the reporter he couldn't be there because it's a private club,
so they escorted the reporter to leave. But when the reporter was being
driven away to the inside of the elevator, Vivian ran to the elevator
opening and asked the reporter in English, "Do you want to take a
photo?" After the reporter replied "Yes!" (in Chinese),
she spoke in English asking the staff members to wait a little. She stopped
at the entrance of the pool club and let the reporter take pictures. At
that time, Joe also came outside to understand the situation. The reporter
then knew she and Joe were there to play pool. The reporter asked if he
could take a picture of both of them together. Both of them were very
cooperative, as Joe put his hand on her shoulder and let the reporter
take pictures. As they were having their picture taken, they asked the
reporter which magazine he belonged to. The reporter said he was from
'Sudden Weekly' magazine. Joe immediately laughed coldly and rudely said,
"ah! I really hate that magazine!" (the magazine wrote false
info about Joe a few months ago)
Vivian bitterly smiles and then walks away
The reporter then continued to wait below. After 1 hour, they came down.
When Vivian immediately saw the reporter, she said, "You're still
here? Sorry about what happened earlier!" The reporter promptly apologized,
"No, it's us who are disturbing you! Sorry about that!" Then
the reporter came up front to take some pictures and do an interview.
The reporter asked them if they were going to the radio station. Joe was
dissatisfied and said, "You're still taking pictures? We already
let you take lots of pictures earlier. What do you want?" The reporter
explained saying because of his work, he needs to continue taking pictures.
Joe became even more dissatisfied, but he still had a smile on his face
as he scolded the reporter, "Is the economy so bad right now? You
don't have any other work to do? You need to do this kind of stuff? Are
you shameless?" When Joe was continuously scolding the reporter,
Vivian was very embarrassed, but she didn't want to publicly persuade
her angry boyfriend, so she just bitterly smiled and then left first to
walk to the car. The reporter was helpless and continued to take pictures.
Joe's anger couldn't be stopped, continuously scolding the reporter non-stop;
up until the time when he and Vivian got into the car, he still wanted
to open the car door to scream to the reporter who didn't open his mouth
all along, "You are loser!" and then left.
Joe was very dissatified with the reporter following them the whole time.
On his radio show that night, he talked about this incident, as he was
still very angry!
|
Vivian hasn't been seen for a long time. She
was holding a big beverage at a private club and was playing pool.
She seemed carefree. When she was approached by the reporter, she
didn't get angry and actually smiled instead. She took the initiative
to ask the pool club workers to leave, so as to let the reporter
take pictures. She was very friendly.
|
|
Joe put his hand on Vivian's shoulder to take
a picture together. He appeared to be kind, but afterwards, he revealed
his temper.
|
|
The reporter waited for 1 hour until both
of them came down. When Joe saw the reporter, he immediately smiled,
but his tone was very disdain saying, "You already took pictures
earlier! What do you want?!" His girlfriend Vivian also immediately
looked at him, anticipating that he would have a reaction.
|
|
The reporter kept following as they were leaving.
Joe said, "You want to take pictures? I'll stand still again
so you can take the picture!" He became angry and put both hands
behind himself and stood still and told the reporter to take a picture.
Once Vivian knew there would be an argument, she bitterly smiled and
then walked away. |
|
The reporter's target is actually Vivian.
When she turned around to walk away, the reporter was only taking
pictures of her. Joe could only start walking, but his mouth was
still trying to say something, constantly scolding the reporter.
|
|
Vivian was quite embarrassed as her boyfriend
kept scolding the reporter. She might even have a confused heart.
She was originally the driver of the car, but when she was getting
the car, she made the mistake of sitting in the passenger seat. She
was in a very difficult situation. |
