In 2010, video-streaming website Sohu said Wong barely spoke at a media conference called to promote her 10-concert tour of China after making reporters wait for about two hours. Chongqing Morning News ran the headline, "Wong spoke yesterday", while reporting a story on her comments made after a concert in the city in 2012.

Lin Yilun, a singer and host of Monday's event, asked Wong to pick the "best line" from the Fleet of Time title song but she declined. "Why do you have so many questions? "Wong said, smiling, after checking the lyrics on a projection screen at Lin's request.

The embarrassment was eased by the movie's lead actor Eddie Peng Yuyan, who decided to ask Wong a more general question about the song, to which the singer said: "The song is difficult to sing. I recorded it twice."

Wong last made headlines in September when, according to rumor, she rekindled her relationship with Hong Kong-based actor Nicholas Tse, after a decadelong separation.
