Fala Chen talks about hometown Chengdu

August 29, 2017 by Yein Jee

Video of Chinese actress Fala Chen who shares some views about her hometown, Chengdu. Decent film but a bit long-winded, could have cramped more information in a three minutes video.

I always thought that she was born in America. Apparently she was born and raised in China instead, until she was 14 years old when she emigrated to the United States with her family.

Chen entered the show business after earning a place as 1st runner-up in the 2005 Miss Chinese International Pageant. She worked primarily with TVB in Hong Kong and starred in numerous TV drama series until her contract ended in 2013. She did quite well during that period.

The actress settled some personal matters and went back to school after that. She’s currently studying in Juilliard in New York; it’s one of the world’s leading drama, music, and dance school. She’s expected to graduate next year (with a postgraduate or master degree.)

Not sure when the video was made but it looks recent. I visited the city over two decades ago when China was still at early stage of its economic boom. A lot of things have changed, obviously. I’m thinking of revisiting the place for comparison sake, but there are other priorities at the moment.

Jill Vidal ft. San E – Being Told Chinese MV

June 20, 2016 by Yein Jee

Hong Kong based British singer Jill Vidal is making her comeback, six years after her drug scandal in 2009. She was found guilty for drugs possession in Japan but escaped prison time. Her rising showbiz career was badly affected though.

Vidal was only semi-active since the scandal until signing with Warner Music HK in 2015. She released a new single, titled Being Told (被滿足的愛), in May 2016. She went to Seoul to record the song which featured popular Korean rapper San E.

It’s actually a decent song. There’s clear K-pop elements and it sounds different from standard Cantopop, which may be a good thing since Cantopop is going nowhere these days. This could just be the song she needs for a reboot.

Fala Chen – Cosmopolitan Hong Kong

February 5, 2016 by Yein Jee

Chinese actress Fala Chen in February 2016 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine in Hong Kong. The 33-year-old is taking a break from acting to study on her postgraduate degree in Juilliard – one of the world’s leading drama, music and dance schools – in New York.

This photo shoot is a rare public feature since late 2014. She’s likely to return to showbiz after her graduation (in 2018 if things go smoothly). It’s not clear whether she will be back to Hong Kong or try her luck in other places instead. She will probably branch out into directing too.
