Debut: 1984 Rookie Singing Competition Champion

Cheung's star journey

Cheung Weijian was born in Hong Kong on February 8, 1965. He is a famous Hong Kong singer and actor, originally from Shanghai.

Cheung Weijian studied at St. Francis College when he was young.

In 1984, he participated in the Rookie Singing Competition and won the gold medal and the Most Outstanding Typhoon Award, thus starting his acting career. But he did not become popular because of this. In order to make a living, he had to return to the karaoke hall to sing again. He broke up with his girlfriend Jiang Xinyan of five years due to personality differences, which made him determined to own his own house within a year. Finally, he became an instant hit with his first starring role in the Hong Kong drama "Old Friends and Ghosts". Warner Records also released Dicky Cheung's first solo Cantonese album "True True False False", which also became a hit and topped the charts. As a result, Zhang Weijian really owned his own house within a year.

For a long time, Zhang Weijian's stardom has not been smooth, and his career has been ups and downs like a roller coaster. However, he never gave up easily. After working hard in the entertainment industry for many years, he finally got through all the hardships and looked forward to his day ahead.

Ever since he was in elementary school, Zhang Weijian discovered that he loved acting and studying people. When he was in middle school (13 or 14 years old), he developed a habit of sitting on the street and watching people or sitting in crowded places. He didn't feel bored at all on the bus because he could hear other people talking.

At the same time, every time the school holds a stage play, he always handles the director, screenwriter, actors, props (human costumes)... all by himself, and his performance potential has been revealed.

After graduating from middle school, Nick Cheung, who regarded Chen Baiqiang as his idol, also moved towards the goal of becoming a singer just like Chen Baiqiang. In 1982, he participated in the first Rookie Singing Contest and was lucky enough to enter the top 30. He made a comeback the next year, but this time he quit without participating in the finals because a record company signed a contract with him at the time. Unexpectedly, he ended up being Disappointed and disappointed, Zhang Weijian placed his hope in the third session. Sure enough, where there is a will, there is a way. In 1984, he won the championship and the Best Typhoon Award with his song "Love Crossing". His name became a household name in Hong Kong overnight. Success has come so easily! Thinking of the first two worlds With the outstanding development of Anita Mui and Lu Fang, the champions of the Rookie Singing Competition, Zhang Weijian was full of longing for his future, but fate played a joke on him. At that time, the record company did not give him the opportunity to release a solo album, but only allowed him to sing two songs on a mixed record. When he joined "Wireless" to film dramas, due to his baby face and height limit of 1.68 meters, he could only play some small comedy roles. In order to make a living, Zhang Weijian could only work as a resident singer in karaoke bars and lounges. Those guests were not here to listen to the music at all, so while he was singing, he had to keep an eye out for teacups and ashtrays that would fly onto the stage at any time. For a period of time, he started filming at nine o'clock in the morning every day, and finished filming Weijian Cheung's female costume photos at seven o'clock in the evening before taking the last train to Shenzhen to perform on stage. However, he was so busy that the remuneration he received was less than one-third of that of other singers... ... All kinds of treatment that are not commensurate with his status as a champion can only rely on him to adjust his mentality. He said: "So what if everyone in Hong Kong knows you, they can still ignore you. As the saying goes, 'A big tree attracts the wind'! What's more, I am not a tree that really grows healthily. I was originally a sapling, but was I was forced to grow up overnight and didn’t have the normal time to grow up gradually. Naturally, I was pushed down again and again, and I lost confidence in myself. Fortunately, I just lost confidence and didn’t give up.” At that time, Zhang Weijian was far less objective about fame and fortune than he is now.

Acting experience

In 1985, he participated in the movie "Happy Girl" and played a small role in gags for eight years.

In 1991, he starred in "Old Friends and Ghosts" for the first time and became an instant hit. In the mythological drama "Sword of the Sun and Moon", he and Guo Jinan played the roles of the Sun and Moon Gods, setting a record for the highest ratings of Hong Kong dramas at that time. Then he starred in "I Love Yacasu" which pushed him to the stage of success.

In 1993, he made 12 movies. After eight years in the industry, Zhang Weijian released his first solo album "True and False" and won the Newcomer Award. Because he took on too many roles, was exposed too frequently, and took on boring comedy films, the records he released did not please the fans, and his popularity gradually declined.

In 1994, no one asked him to film movies or release records. Due to the need to make a living, he sold the big house he bought when he became popular. Taiwan's Modern Record Company invited him to develop over time and released three Mandarin albums in Taiwan with an average sales volume of 150,000 copies. He was also selected as one of the "Top Ten Idols".

In 1996, the Hong Kong TVB TV series "Journey to the West" was the third peak of Zhang Weijian's career. The ratings of this drama reached 40%.

In 1999, "ATV" broadcast "Young Hero Fang Shiyu" starring Zhang Weijian. Zhang Weijian performed a real, life-oriented and close to the audience Fang Shiyu. The show's ratings reached 24%, making it the most watched program on ATV.

It was launched in Hong Kong and was well received. The broadcast in Hong Kong even recorded the highest ratings of 46 points, ranking second on the ratings list. After signing a contract with Andy Lau's "NewMelody", he released the album "I (No:) I'm Nicky Cheung", which almost reached platinum sales. The title song "Who Do You Love Me Like" also firmly occupied the weekly number one position on Hong Kong's New Town Hot Pop Chart. , was selected into the 2001 Wireless Golden Songs First Season Selection.

In 2009, he formed the singer group Big Four with Xu Zhian, Liang Hanwen and Su Yongkang.

The first song "Big Four" was released and entered the major pop music charts. On February 28, 2010, they won the 2009 Sprite "China" Original Music Pop Chart National Best Group Award. A world tour concert was held in March 2010.

Zhang Weijian’s success is due to hard work. In addition to acting, his job also includes creation. During the more than 20 hours on the set, he kept thinking, writing scripts, and acting. When he returned to the hotel, he was still thinking of ideas.

From 2012 to 2014, he starred in the TV series "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties 1, 2" and "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties 3".
