"The Eagle-Shooting Heroes" Stars go on Tour – Amusing Anecdotes
Guo Jing and Huang Rong Take the Netherlands by Storm
After filming the 60-episode series The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the show’s leading trio—Felix Wong (Wong Yat-wah), Barbara Yung (Weng Meiling), and Sharon Yeung (Poon Pan-pan)—immediately set off on separate overseas tours. Capitalizing on the drama’s soaring popularity abroad, they seized the opportunity to "strike while the iron was hot" and "search for real silver" (make money).
Poon Pan-pan Surrounded by Adoring Fans
Although The Legend of the Condor Heroes had finished airing in Hong Kong, its VCR tapes were still widely circulated in Southeast Asia, Europe, and America. Sharon Yeung, who played the lovelorn heroine Mu Nianci, was greeted by a swarm of female fans the moment she landed in Singapore. These wealthy young ladies not only welcomed her at the airport but also followed her every move, filming her activities and stage performances with 8mm cameras. They compiled the footage and photos into colorful scrapbooks as keepsakes.
These devoted fans even accompanied Sharon late into the night. On the day of her departure, they stayed with her at the hotel until 3 a.m., originally planning to escort her to the airport. However, there were too many of them to fit in one car, so the manager arranged for them to follow in their own Mercedes-Benz sedans. Thus, Sharon arrived at the airport with an entire "Mercedes convoy"—a far cry from her tragic on-screen character Mu Nianci, who now seemed more like a princess!
The most amusing part? When Sharon made her singing debut at a nightclub, even the dancers stopped entertaining guests and focused entirely on her performance. Touched by her fans’ enthusiasm, she has since been practicing her singing diligently, vowing to put on an even better show next time. Hong Kong fans may soon get to hear her sing, as she might appear on Enjoy Yourself Tonight. In fact, her emotional solo scene mourning Miu Kiu-wai’s character in The Legend of the Condor Heroes was recorded live—a bold move at the time.
Wah Jai, Wah Lui, and Sister Wah
Another pair, Felix Wong and Barbara Yung, set off for Europe a little later after wrapping up The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Their destinations included the Netherlands, London, Paris, and Amsterdam. They were joined by Felix’s rumored girlfriend, Leung Kit-wah ("Wah Lui"), veteran singer Poon Tik-wah ("Sister Wah"), Lau Nga-lai, and the eccentric "Dance King" Mak Tak-lo.
With so many stops, their trip was full of funny incidents. In the Netherlands, the event organizer, fearing disruption by underground gangs, introduced them to a local "godfather" as their guide. Felix expected a towering, intimidating figure with bodyguards—but instead, they met a 5’4" mustached man who was hilariously down-to-earth. This "pocket-sized godfather" not only acted as their chauffeur but also challenged them to a speed-eating contest with big bowls of porridge. Lau Nga-lai won 400 guilders (about HK$1,000+) by finishing hers first, while Felix came in second. Barbara, the weakest eater, only managed half—but the chivalrous godfather finished it for her, letting her claim 200 guilders as a prize!
Rumors swirled that Felix and Leung Kit-wah might soon tie the knot. One night, while dressed up for a show, they were mistaken for newlyweds by a foreigner who toasted them on the theater stairs!
Free Strawberries in England
Since Barbara’s mother lived in England, she naturally became the group’s tour guide. She took them to a strawberry farm where visitors could pick and eat for free—unlike in Hong Kong, where strawberries cost $20 per pound. They went overboard, stuffing themselves until their hands were stained red. Coincidentally, it was Lau Nga-lai’s birthday, so they dressed up in glamorous gowns for photos.
《射雕》主角海外登台趣事连连
郭靖黄蓉“大战”荷兰
拍完长达60集的《射雕英雄传》后，几位主演——黄日华（郭靖）、翁美玲（黄蓉）和杨盼盼（穆念慈）立刻马不停蹄地分头奔赴海外登台演出，趁着剧集在海外热播的势头“趁热打铁”，开启“淘金之旅”。
杨盼盼被富家女粉丝“包围”
虽然《射雕》在香港已经播完，但它的录像带在新加坡、欧美等地依然大行其道。杨盼盼饰演的痴情女侠穆念慈刚到新加坡，一下飞机就被一群“盼迷”团团围住——原来都是有钱人家的小姐，几乎个个开着豪车来接机。从她抵达的那一刻起，这些粉丝就寸步不离地跟着她，用8毫米胶片相机记录她的一举一动，还把照片做成彩色剪贴簿留作纪念。
杨盼盼离开新加坡那晚，几位富家女粉丝甚至陪她在酒店待到凌晨三点，原本打算送她去机场，但因为人太多坐不下，最后经理人只好让她们各自开着自己的奔驰车一路跟随。于是，杨盼盼去机场时竟有“奔驰车队”护送——苦命的穆念慈瞬间变身高贵公主！
最有趣的是，杨盼盼初次在夜总会登台演唱时，连伴舞的小姐都顾不上招呼客人，全神贯注地看她表演。被粉丝的热情感动，她如今闭门苦练唱功，决定下次登台时加倍努力回报观众。香港的“盼迷”们很快或许就能在《欢乐今宵》听到她唱歌了。其实，《射雕》中她为苗侨伟悼念的那段清唱，就是现场收音的大胆尝试。
华仔、华女与“华姐”同行
另一对稍晚出发的是黄日华和翁美玲，他们的欧洲之行涵盖荷兰、伦敦、巴黎和阿姆斯特丹等地。同行的还有黄日华的绯闻女友梁洁华（华女）、资深艺人潘迪华（华姐），以及刘雅丽和“搞怪舞王”麦德罗。
行程多了，趣事自然也少不了。在荷兰时，主办方怕有黑道滋事，特意请了一位“教父”级人物当向导。黄日华原本以为“教父”一定是威风凛凛、保镖簇拥的壮汉，结果见面才发现是个身高只有1米62的小胡子。这位“迷你教父”幽默豪爽，不仅当他们的免费司机，还和他们比赛喝大碗粥。最终刘雅丽拼命吞下一整碗热粥，赢了400荷兰盾（约合1000多港币）；黄日华排名第二；而翁美玲最“水皮”（差劲），只吃了一半。好在教父懂得怜香惜玉，帮她吃完剩下的，让她白赚200荷兰盾！
两人还被误认为新婚夫妇——某晚他们盛装出席活动时，有老外竟在剧院楼梯上举杯祝贺这对“新人”！
在英国实现“草莓自由”
由于翁美玲的母亲住在英国，她自然成了团队导游。她带大家去了一家草莓园，那里的草莓可以随便摘吃——不像在香港，一磅要20块钱。众人拼命往嘴里塞，结果手都被汁水染红了。恰逢刘雅丽生日，大家还特意打扮得光鲜亮丽，穿着晚礼服在剧院拍照，场面十分欢乐。
