Dicky Cheung's Bio
No Woman No Cry
Since I am a Catholic, God is #1, then family, money, friends, career and love are marketing price, depends on the situation. Until now, I have had three girlfriends, my first love was not in the entertainment career, second one was Kong Yan Yin, then it's Jessica Hsuan. I do not have any other girlfriends after that. When I know Jessica, my career was at the peak. I was very happy at that time, and that's what she liked about me. She was very happy too when she is with me, because I always make her laugh. But then I changed aferward. My career started to drop and hers is going up. She received more fans letter than I did even though I was a singer and she was just an actress. It is no in ratio. Our distance was getting further. I was very depressed and lost confidence. I started to become quiet, did not like to talk. I did not cry, neither did I laugh, like a puppet. At first, she confronted me, then started to complain afterward. She said I wasn't like this when she knew me. She wanted a happy, open-minded boyfriend. Our love started to become plain water. I asked her to break up with me, because there was no other choice. When I asked her to break up with me, I was angry. I just wanted to see what her reponse would be. To my suprise, she did not object. And we broke up. Three years of love, ended like this. Kong Yan Yin and I were puppy love. She was 18 when I was 20. It was at the stage where we were still exploring the world and helps each other out. Not long after we started going out, she acted as a Philipan mate at EYT, very popular. Lots of people started to know her and I was still a no name star. Her parents do not like me, said that they do not understand why she would choose me in millions--chose a no future guy. Our salaries started to have difference. Mine was a few thousands, had to have a living myself and had to help my family too. Hers was more than 10 thousand. She usually paid for dinner. When we went out to restaurant, people would always asked, "How many people, Miss Kong?" Two of us went out, but they would never ask "How many people, Mr. Cheung?" I did not have any confidence and felt really bad. The reason why we broke up was that she wanted to get marry. At first, she was worried about my career, she did not want to go with me forever was because of this too. But then she said she did not want a rich husband, but one with security and secured life. I could not give her this. Kong Yan Yin and Jessica gave me two different feelings. Kong Yan Yin's was like a lover that grew up together. Jessica was the one who I can live with the rest of my life. What I think about love is No Woman, No Cry.
The worst
The last album I had in Hong Kong was "180\'baC +". Producer was Mark Lu. Main song was "Who is a Clown". I know this determines my life. If it can be sold a lot, I live. If not, there will be no next time. Before the album is finished, we started to put the main song up to the radio station. The result was not good. The radio station already helped me a lot. They put my song on a lot of times. But there was no use. When I sang in shows, there was no response from the audience. It's like they don't even care whether you are here or not. I had this sixth sense that tells me this album is not going to PK(a cantonese bad word; Dicky meant it's not gonna sell). In the studio recording the last song, I know this will be the last time in the studio. We took a lot of times. Producer accepted it, but I did not. The reason is that I loved the studio, I did not want to leave. The last section of promoting, I attended a show. I asked the manager of Warner, Wong Pat Ko about contract problem in the backstage. He said, "You only have to answer me, who would buy your CD and we'll continue our contract." I couldn't answer the question. When the contract with Warner expired, I did not worked for one whole year. It was very difficult to accept the fact that my career dropped so suddenly. When I was popular, I did not have time to think other stuffs. When I started to drop, I did not know the reason. I did not have love problems, did not go out late at night, no bad news, no nothing. But I was so upset, I did not do anything wrong. After a year, the first album in Taiwan released. I had to promote, I did all kinds of shows. I did not have presentation in big shows, but I still stands on the side. The album was suprisingly sold, around two millions of them were sold. Less than a month, I received the award that a lot of stars want, the << Top Ten Taiwan Idols>> . Two months later, the second album was released, the result was good too.
$90,000
I did not want to act in << Journey To The West >> at first, because if I leave Taiwan half a year where I was just starting, it's easy to let other competitors take over. Plus, JTW did not have any cast, the most popular star was me. But I did not think I was a cast either. After talking to my record company, and decided to accept the role of Monkey King. But I was still inconfident. Monkey King was the main character, I was like the warrior in the front. Even I do not have the confidence, others were worst. I told Pig, Lai Yew Cheung, "The series is good or bad, it depends on us. Don't fail in front of others. Whether it has good result or not, I am going back to Taiwan anyway, unlike you guys." No one likes the figure of the Monkey King. All they said was "Wa~ so ugly!". Some of them did not even response. The reason is that I'm Dicky Cheung. If it were Leon Lai or Andy Lau, I bet there would be a lot of noise. Work 20 hours a day, the glue was on my face for long hours. I went thru hardship when I was eating. I felt the dry glue is breaking up. Everyday, only a few hours that my face do not have glue on. Just like this for half a year, all I got was 90,000HKD, not even Pig. I have heard a lot saying that I am copying Stephen Chow. This is because you do not know Dicky Cheung. Starting from my first series << From 4D>> , I acted this way already. This is my own style. If you ask me to act in another style, I can't. But it doesn't matter! When people keep saying I copy Stephen, people keep asking me to act. When you have experienced the sudden raise and sudden drop, your point of view would change. Before when driving a Benz, would want a Porshe. Clothes have to be popular brand names. If not, please stand aside. Now, Chicken's or Pig's doesn't matter. Car is only a Mazda. In Taiwan, I ride a Taxi.
Family
When I was in grade 8, my father "left" us. Since my mother had to take care of us, she had to make money by taking care of other people's babies. Mother was really tired that time. She had to take care of us brothers plus two to three other babies. In the middle of the night, we had to wake up to feed and change dipares with the babies. And that made three of us brothers very familiar with taking care of babies. I started making money for my family and let my brothers to go to school since I was a teenager. My first job was singing in bars. But I was the not-welcomed kind. There were two welcomed-kinds. One was wearing only a little and sexy. The other kind was comedian. Therefore, my salary was not good at all until I was the champion of the singing competition. And the following one and a half year, I still sang in bars. The difference was my salary increased a bit. Beside spending it on neccessary things for myself, the leftover was for my family. There was no extra money to entertain. Two younger brothers graduated. One is now my manager. The other is a lieutenant. And my pressure decreased and started to become popular. As soon as my salary increased, I bought a house. My mom wanted me the share the house with her. She thought I was still young and easy to be cheated on. I now have four houses. My bank account is sharing with her too. I think there are about $20,000,000(HKD). She did not asked or want this. Her wish was very simple, which is us brothers are happy and all right.
Don't Cry For Me
Dicky Cheung's house in Taipei has a big . Every morning, when he opens the glass door. There are a crowd of fans screaming. He would then smile back and say hi. Sometimes, he would even go down and get close with the fans and see who is good and who is naughty. He almost wants to sing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina".

I only like his ancient series and some old movies.. I like the theme song that he sang in the Wai Siu Bo drama. Dicky's new drama called something like Kung Fu Soccer, it seems to be borring.. he copied this series idea from Stephen Chow's movies..
