Biography |
Charlie Yeung is a Hong Kong actress and singer. She was
first noticed after appearing in a jewellery commercial with
Aaron Kwok. Since then she has participated in the music
videos of artists such as Hacken Lee, Takeshi Kaneshiro and
Jacky Cheung.
In 1992, she was signed on to be a singer with EMI (Hong
Kong). After releasing a couple of albums with some success
(she won the TVB Jade Solid Gold (1993)'s Gold Award of "The
Best New Female Singer"), she made her feature-film debut in
Wong Kar-Wai's arthouse martial arts film Ashes of Time
alongside superstars such as Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung
Chiu-Wai and Brigitte Lin.
In 1994, she made her first collaboration with director Tsui
Hark on the film The Lovers, a Chinese classical tale about
the Butterfly Lovers. Yeung was cast as the female lead, Zhu
Yintai opposite Nicky Wu's Liang Shanbo. Her performance
received widespread critical acclaim, rising Yeung to
stardom. The film today has been hailed as Charlie's most
representative work to date.
Between 1994 to 1997, she was arguably the most popular
artist in Hong Kong, with her charming face appearing
everywhere from magazines and posters to advertisements and
movies.
At the height of her popularity in 1997, however, she
decided to call it quits and retire from the industry to
start an image consultant business with her Singaporean
lawyer-boyfriend in Malaysia.
In 2004, after a failed relationship and business, she made
her comeback as the lead actress in Jackie Chan's New Police
Story. Following that, she collaborated once again with Tsui
Hark on the martial arts movie Seven Swords and starred
alongside Andy Lau in the love movie All About Love. She
later co-starred in the film After This Our Exile opposite
Aaron Kwok. She has made plans to appears in a sequel to
Seven Swords. |
