An unfortunate mishap on the set of Three Women, One Gene <三個女人一個「因」> had brought Mandy Wong
(黃智雯) to tears. The TVB actress, who plays a woman with dissociative
identity disorder in the series, accidentally injured costar Winston Tsang (曾海昌) in the eye during a fight scene.
“I accidentally hit him in the corner of
his eye, and he immediately started bleeding,” she said. “He was
bleeding so much. I felt so bad I cried!”
Three Women, One Gene stars Mandy
Wong as a woman suffering from DID. She has three distinctively
personalities, and each identity is involved with three different male
characters. In the aforementioned fight scene, Winston plays a thief who
is trying to mug her boyfriend Jason Chan (陳智燊), but Mandy stops Winston by attacking him with her elbow.
Due to Mandy’s inexperience in fight
scenes, she couldn’t control her own speed, and her elbow clipped
Winston in the face. Winston suffered a 3 cm laceration in the corner of
his eye as a result.
“I didn’t know I could be that strong!”
said Mandy. “For the drama and for interest, I took Choy Li Fut lessons.
Perhaps I cannot control my own strength.” Mandy said she has little to
no experience in filming fight scenes and will now stay one hundred
percent alert when doing similar scenes in the future. She admitted that
the incident has left behind a shadow, but she is grateful for the
emotional support that the cast had given her.
Winston was sent to the hospital after
the accident. In a later interview, he said he has already recovered,
adding, “I’m okay! It was just an accident! I didn’t need to get
stitches!”
