Edison Chen Biography

He went to secondary school in his hometown, and ended it already in Hong Kong, where his family moved when Edison was a teenager. Interestingly, in the tenth grade of the private Hong Kong school of Hong Kong International School, he studied with Nicholas Tsie. Edison got into show business at the age of 19-in one of the nightclubs of Hong Kong, he was noticed by an agent who offered a pretty boy to star in an commercial with him, Cecilia Cheut and Leon Lai were shot there.

Advertising for many was the first step towards the movie cammer, Edison was no exception, although his first movie did not take place in Hong Kong, but in Japan, where he starred from the famous Takashi Takashi Miika in the second part of his fantastic trilogy “Living or Dead”, Edison Chen was born on October 7 in the Canadian Vancouver, he has two sisters - one of them, one of them, Trisha Chang.

And the actress who is removed in Hong Kong. In the same year, Edison appeared in the sequel of the “Police of the Future”, replacing Nicholas Tse, who had left from Casta, apparently, he himself offered a former classmate to his place. The following year, Chen starred in three melodramas-"Mother without a child", "Last love" and "Dream Dance"-who made him an idol of teenage girls.

The show business has its own rules, and if you want to become a star, you need to play on them, and the first few years of career, Edison stubbornly made ahead of them-he starred in the "girlfriend" of the pop-up of nine girls and ghosts, climbed into the "double rock casting" for a small role of the hero Andy Lau in his youth and, when the film became popular, provided himself with the most interesting role in her saint.

He lit up in the arthouse painting "Princess D" to attract the attention of critics. Edison’s musical career began in a year with a typical cantopop Hong Kong, but by a year, when Chen became a full-fledged star, he switched to hip-hop-not so popular, but much more interesting to Edison himself. The same thing happened in the cinema - although in M ​​Edson he played in the comedy of Wong Jing "Sex and Beauty" and the poppy "effect of twins 2", all his other works are much more interesting.

These are the criminal militants "Jiang Hu" and "moving targets" plus the drama "heading", which made the film critics talk about the awakened acting talent of Edison. In M, he could not abandon the role in the potential cash hit "Extreme Race", but the next year he appeared in the tape "Dog bites the dog" - an arthouse thriller, in which he brilliantly played the role of an inhuman killer.

In parallel with a film career in Hong Kong, Edison tried to break into the industry of other countries. For example, in a year, he starred in a joint Sino-British romantic picture "Life for Translation", in M ​​played in the Japanese melodrama "under one moon", and in M ​​flicked in a small British tape "Gamball". At the same time, Edison tried to break into Hollywood - in the year he appeared in the episode of the "medallion" of Jackie Chan, who was originally starred in Hong Kong, but with an eye on the state, and in M ​​received one of the main roles in the Hollywood horror "Curse 2".

None of the films in which Edison starred outside Hong Kong, however, became a big hit, but everything could have been different - he was offered one of the main roles in the "triple onyons", which Edison refused. With the exception of the “dark knight” published in the summer of the year, but Chen has a three -second role there. He flashes in one episode in the role of a clerk at the reception of the hotel.

Until some time, Edison seemed cloudless - but how else? Young, pretty, talented and enough enough to catch on the film industry, it seemed that all the doors were open in front of him. But in January of the year there was a scandal, which was not equal in Hong Kong for several decades. It all started with the fact that Edison had broken his personal laptop, and he took it to the service, and the local employees, having fixed the laptop, decided to climb on his insides, where they discovered the deposits of pornographic photos and videos shot by Edison Chen himself.

Moreover, he was not captured by one, but in the company of famous actresses - it is reliably known that among them were Cecilia Cheut at that time the wife of his friend Nicholas Tsie, Bobo Chan, Gillian Chung, Rachel Ngan and several smaller caliber, including Vinesi Jung, the summer niece of Albert Jung, the founder of the EEG musical label, which was written on which was written Edison.

True, Edison at that time had a completely official relationship with Vincia - they met before the scandal for three years. Subsequently, in his personal blog, Edison wrote that he was very sorry about his dissolving behavior and is ready for anything, just to regain Vinci. The photo made the effect of an exploding bomb - the special piquancy of the situation was added that Cecilia Cheung was married and already had a child, and Bobo Chan was preparing for the wedding naturally, it was canceled.

Edison behaved in this situation, like a real man-he recorded a public video message in which he apologized for his careless behavior, and promised to leave show business.True, not everyone believed him and, as it turned out, not in vain-having served something for about six months, Edison returned to the large arena. At the end of the year, the film "Jump" should be released, in which he plays one of the main roles, new commercials and posters with his participation appear.

Although, of course, he still lost several profitable advertising contracts-some companies preferred not to risk their image. This is far from the first scandal associated with the name of Edison. For example, in the year, a great resonance received a story with two teenagers who met Edison at the exit of the store and began to mock him, parodying his dance movements. The actor was ready to just leave, but the guys suddenly attacked him - everyone hit once and rushed off.

Chen chased after them and eventually caught them when they intended to climb the bus. Teenagers got to the police, but Edison decided not to bring charges against them - according to him, so as not to spoil their life. If in this story Edison showed himself from the best side, then in the story of a taxi that happened in the year, everything was the other way around.

Chen drove up to his house, but the entrance was blocked by a taxi that landed passengers there. The taxi driver showed Chen with signs to hand him back, and then the taxi could drive away by freeing the road, but Edison rested. Word for the word - the taxi driver called the actor, and he jumped out of the car and thoroughly drove the taxi driver, leaving several dents on it.

Since there were a lot of witnesses around, Chen landed in the police, where he was soldered conditionally and was a fine for a year. On the personal life and character of Edison, in principle, everything is clear from the stories above, it remains only to tell that Chen supports the community of blue and lesbians in Hong Kong, participates in charity and is engaged in fashion business-together with two partners, he owns Clot, which produces fashionable casual clothes and cooperating with famous brands like Nike.

In addition, he has his own multimedia company Clot Media Division, which Edison founded in February, investing 10 million Hong Kong dollars in it. It is planned that this company will engage in films and music, but at the moment, only one musical album of Edison itself has been released under this brand-however, some tracks in it produced famous personalities in the world of hip-hop, such as Kanye West, for example.
