Biografie
Jacky Cheung, born in Hong Kong, seemed set for a career in the airline industry until he won a singing competition in 1984 and began his spectacular trajectory as a singer and actor.
He made his screen debut in Lau Koon Wai’s WHERE’S OFFICER TUBA? (1986) and went on to win the Best Supporting Actor prize in the Hong Kong Film Awards for his role as the volatile Fly in Wong Kar Wai’s debut feature AS TEARS GO BY (1988). He acted again for Wong Kar Wai in DAYS OF BEING WILD (1990) and ASHES OF TIME (1994).
In the early 1990s, he became one of the busiest and most popular actors in Hong Kong cinema with starring roles in such films as Ching Siu Tung’s A CHINESE GHOST STORY II (1990) and its sequel A CHINESE GHOST STORY III (1991), David Lai and Tsui Hark’s WICKED CITY (1992), Jeff Lau’s EAGLES SHOOTING HEROES (1993), Wong Jing and Andrew Lau’s TO LIVE AND DIE IN TSIMSHATSUI (1994) and Eddie Fong’s THE PRIVATE EYE BLUES (1994). During this period he rose to become one of the four “kings” of Cantonese pop music, and in the late 1990s opted to concentrate more on music than films. He returned to star in Ann Hui’s JULY RHAPSODY (2002), and has appeared as himself in Daniel Wu’s mockumentary THE HEAVENLY KINGS (2006), making outspoken comments on the Hong Kong music business.
