Edison Chen (Traditional Chinese: 陳冠希; Cantonese: Chan Kwoon Hei; born October 7, 1980 in Vancouver, Canada) is a popular Hong Kong teen idol. He was an artist of the Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG). Edison Chen's contract with EEG ended in 2005.
Edison Chen was born on October 7th, 1980. Raised in Vancouver and New York, he now lives in Hong Kong and currently works in Asian Cinema, Music and Fashion. He owns a lifestyle company named CLOT, which works with labels and artists from all around the world gathering them all together in unison in the Greater Asian region, although they are based in the Hong Kong region. Seemingly this is the first venture of this sort of cause in Hong Kong. Edison's official online blog states that "He is just a normal everyday guy like you, but only his job is to entertain..." Edison's parents are still residing in Vancouver, Canada since. Edison has released numerous singles,causing millions of die hard female fans to drool and cheer. Edison has come a long way because Edison's fame and fortune didn't start off bright and easy. As a Canadian, he searched for a successful way to become a celebrity. Seeing how he failed to receive any recording contracts within Canada or the States, he returned to Hong Kong to find success.There he was able to make it big, signing a deal with the EGG company. Since then, he has sold over millions of cds, involved with numerous films and have advertise an ad for Levi's Jeans along with his partner, the famous Korean singer BoA
Prior to his music career, he went to High School in Hong Kong International School (HKIS) in the class of 1998. He also attended high school at R.C Palmer Secondary School in Richmond, BC.
It was stated that Edison could not write Chinese. He can only write Chen in Chinese, and not Guan Xi. His Cantonese and Mandarin isn't so good either, which you can by his Canadian accent but not saying that fans love his accent and already said that "Edison Chen has got his own style"
Chen has starred in many films including Infernal Affairs II and Twins Effect. He also sings cantopop and can speak English, Cantonese,Japanese and Mandarin. However, as with many foreign-born Chinese, Edison does not have a perfect command of Cantonese or Mandarin. He is idolized for his "cool" attitude and his good looks, though critics cite him as conceited ("chuen", "串", in Cantonese slang).
Though many consider Edison Chen to be the first pop singer who brought hip-hop culture to Hong Kong music industry, it was LMF that began the underground hip-hop industry in Hong Kong. But if LMF started hip-hop in Hong Kong, Edison made it mainstream in Cantopop. This is reflected as many of Edison's rap songs feature MC Yan from the now disbanded LMF.
His song "香港地" (Hong Kong Place), featuring MC Yan and Han Jin, about how the Hong Kong people are like, and calls for union of the Hong Kong people, was one of the great hits in 2004. Edison continued his hip-hop style, and released another hip-hop album HAZY in 2005. The song "嘥氣" (Waste of Breath) describes the assault incident Edison encountered before.
Edison's first movie Gen-Y Cops received terrible reviews from the Hong Kong media. As he has gained more experience he has improved somewhat since those early days. He recently starred in the film Jiang Hu in which his character had to rape a dog as a punishment. This scene however, did not bring praise from critics as Edison remains, as some critics say, "talentless". In the movie Initial D Chen took the role of Ryosuke Takahashi.
Currently, Edison is making his Hollywood Debut in the Grudge 2, the second in a Japanese horror remake of Ju-on, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Amber Rose Tamblyn. He is cast as an investigative reporter. The film will be released on Friday, October 13 2006.
