Chan Yi Ling is largely responsible for the present fame of her sister, May Ling. As with most movie stars, Yi Ling believes in publicity, and her publicity is so heavily done that it gives the impression of being hyperbolic. In fact, her reputation far supersedes her box-office record. Yet, she is willing to give way to her sister, and has always introduced her as the better of the two. In fact, she has been so concentrated that May Ling has now won a far superior fame. Yi Ling accompanied her sister during the tour to Japan because she knows the language as well as the people there. On Jan. 27, May Ling held a concert in which the admission fee was as high as HK$8,000. Yi Ling planned to come back after a month for a film, but now she is staying until after the Chinese new year, so that she can take better care of May Ling. Yi Ling’s denial of herself for the sister is certainly to be admired.
陳依齡與她的妹妹陳美齡,可說姊妹情深,而陳美齡得有今天的地位,依齡居功不少,無論在什麽場合,她都捧妹妹場。
在電影明星中,一般都很注重「名」,陳依齡也沒有例外,有關於她的宣傳,實在搞得有聲有色,達到了言過其實的地步,就陳依齡所拍的影片言,沒有幾部是賣座的,尤其是後期的影片,可見她的名氣是在票房之下。
可是,對於在妹妹之前,她寧願降低自己的地位,當依齡赴日鍍金返港時,陳美齡在麗的電視雖渐露頭角,但尙未到光芒四射階段,陳依齡卻在記者面前大力推捧妹妹,她說:「我回到香港來,美齡接我機,海關人員都認識她,連行李也沒怎麽看就放行了,我跟美齡到什麼地方,她都有歌迷,我反而變得叨美齡的光了。」陳依齡這麼捧妹妹場,用自己作墊石,難得之至。
漸漸地,陳美齡的名氣大起來了,日本的渡邊華納公司,透過了陳依齡的氣荐吹捧,和陳美齡簽了灌錄唱片合約,據說,目前有一張唱片,已銷到三十萬張,看起來,現在的陳美齡,已比陳依齡的名氣大了。因爲陳依齡在邵氏,還未有新戲開拍,灌唱片的消息也很少,似乎在集中力量去幫助妹妹。
應想赴日履行合約,依齡陪伴着她前往,以便照願,因爲陳依齡在日本住了一年多,懂得日語,也熟悉日本的環境,甚至有關機構負責人,報界雜誌記者,都認織,替陳美齡奔走,有不少方便。
本來,陳美齡是有公司派給她的翻譯,但怎麼也不像由陳依齡幫助那麼方便和親切,是毫無疑問的,何況,一月廿七日,陳美齡在日本有一個盛大的個人演唱會,一共要唱廿首歌曲左右,門票高達約港幣八十元。
本來,陳依齡計劃在日本留一個月,把陳美齡的生活安頓下來,就回香港度歲,邵氏也跟她說過,回港後要給她演一部新片。
但當時,陳依齡已改變了計劃,要過了農曆新年才回港。
一方面,是繼續幫助妹妹,另方面,以妹妹年紀輕,一個人留在日本過年,即使老關會照顧她,但總不如跟姐姐一起過春節那麼有興趣。
就是為了妹妹,陳依齡放下了她自己的電視和電影工作,犠牲了一個多月的時間,雖然幫助是妹妹,但這種精神,的確很難得,尤其是她本身也是明星。
