Sammi Cheng (鄭秀文) (Cantonese: Cheng Sau-Man; born August 19, 1972, Birth Name: Twinnie Cheng, Place of Origin: Chaozhou, Guangdong) is a Hong Kong actress and Cantopop singer.
With much success in the Hong Kong music industry, Sammi became one of the Hong Kong pop divas. She also has a successful film career, particularly in the field of romantic comedy. Her goofy, sometimes scatterbrained image went well with the Hong Kong public. In 2000 she made a series of romantic comedies with singer/actor Andy Lau and director Johnnie To, including Needing You (2000) and Love on a Diet (2001), which were hits and incorporate some elements of the screwball comedy.
Sammi entered the entertainment industry through an annual singing contest, New Talent Singing Awards in 1988, when she was only 16. She came in 3rd place and the sponsoring record company, "Capital Artist", offered her a contract. At the time, Sammi juggled school and her singing career. Before she had finished her schooling, Sammi managed to release 3 albums: sammi, Holiday and Never Too Late. These albums were somewhat successful for a new artist, but they didn't push Sammi to the A-list level.
In 1993, Sammi realized that in order to reach the next level of stardom, she had to create an unique image for herself. At the time, another rising female artist, Faye Wong, had started the wild/crazy fashion trend in the music industry. Capitalizing on the attention she'd be getting from her duet with Andy Hui, "其實你心裡有沒有我" (Do you really have me in your heart?), Sammi lost her babyfat and went through a complete 180-degree transformation. She dyed her hair orange and purposely 'westernized' her pronunciation of Chinese. At that time, hair dying was only for gangsters and it was a 'taboo' for artists to look rebellious. Sammi also came out with her 4th album, "鄭秀文的快樂迷宮" (Sammi's Happy Maze), which included the hit single, "Chotto 等等" (Chotto Matte). The new image worked perfectly with the new single, which was a fast song, and it helped Sammi boost her singing career to the next level.
In 1994, Sammi continued to bring her wild image to the next level. Her first album of that year was "大報復" (Big Revenge), which was released to capitalize on her new fame. The album included the mega hit "叮噹" (Ding Dong), which became one of Sammi's signature songs. With the new fame also came a lot of backlash. Critics stated that Sammi purposely "westernized" her Cantonese: instead of saying "Ding Dong", Sammi pronounced it as "Deeng Dong". Despite the negative criticism, the song was well received by the general public. Throughout the rest of 1994, Sammi continued to release hit singles such as: Ten Commandments, Not Your Typical Love, Passion Island, Romeo and Juliet of Sarajevo, Amnesia and Bitter Love.
