She is not only the queen of Hong Kong music, but also a box office panacea for the depressed Hong Kong film market.
She co-starred with Tony Leung Chiu Wai in Living Together with Honey Friends and Andy Lau in Slimming Men and Women, which not only broke through the box office of Hong Kong films of 10 million yuan, but also made great achievements in Slimming Men and Women and won the Hollywood blockbuster Pearl Harbor, earning enough face for Hong Kong films. According to the statistics of Hong Kong media, in recent years, films starring Sammi Cheng have achieved good box office, which has exceeded HK$ 65.438+0.8 billion. Therefore, she was named "the box office queen of over 100 million". For some old fans who only know Maggie Cheung and Yang Ziqiong, the sudden appearance of Sammi Cheng is like a myth.
In the early years, we knew Sammi Cheng's name because of her singing. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, she made her debut through a singing competition. Zhang Yuanyuan's round face is not prominent. From 65438 to 0996, after trying to lose weight and keep fit, she made a stunning appearance on the singing stage with a mature and changeable shape. Since then, the avantgarde and changeable image has become an important means for her to attract attention in the record industry. In the same year, she successfully released the Mandarin album Worthy, which established her important position in the music world, and the release of 1997 album Born for You further consolidated her position. During this period, Sammi Cheng starred in the movies "100% Feeling" and "Love You Will Kill You", which received good response, but no one predicted her future in the film industry. Since then, Sammi Cheng has been in the stage of "the successor of the future queen", and her acting career has almost plummeted due to troubles and troubles. Until 2000, the famous Hong Kong director Du Qifeng invited her to star in Lonely Men and Few Women. She played a depressed and neurotic urban woman, and her naive and funny style won the favor of the audience at once, and she was nominated for the best actress in the Hong Kong Film Awards. Sammi Cheng is having a hard time. Several films such as Summer Tea, Zhong Wuyan, Living with a Honey Friend and Slimming Men and Women are very popular at the box office, while Sammi Cheng, who is getting thinner, has become the chief box office actress of Hong Kong films.
Sammi Cheng's popularity seems sudden, but in fact it's all natural. In the early years, Sammi Cheng's appearance was not amazing, which did not meet the recognition conditions of beauty in the early 1990s. In recent years, people prefer the so-called "temperament beauty", and the picky and clean Sammi Cheng began to surface. In addition, she has lost weight, and her increasingly thin figure is as big as a "skinny beauty". In addition, she knows how to dress and always presents herself in a fashion that suits her very well, and is recognized as the leader of urban women's fashion; In addition, her acting skills are constantly changing. Hong Kong people call her "acting as natural and smooth as life, making the audience as comfortable as drinking mineral water". Her funny style, which is a bit silly but not exaggerated, is very popular with urban audiences. In addition, Sammi Cheng, who has a very friendly image, plays the role of an ordinary city girl. Some people describe her as a "meg ryan native of Hong Kong" and the best spokesperson for "modern women". These are the reasons why Sammi Cheng is so popular. Of course, compared with actors like Maggie Cheung, Sammi Cheng, who is at the peak of her life, still thinks that her acting skills are thin, but her appearance undoubtedly adds diversified colors to Hong Kong films in the trough, and her box office summoning power also brings a shot of stimulant to the depressed market. SAMMI and many male stars have swept the box office in Hong Kong in recent years. The next "Song of Eternal Sorrow" will also be shown during the holidays, which will feast our eyes! !
