Career
After playing minor roles in various series and films, Zhao received her first leading role in a series called Sisters in Beijing. There, she was spotted by famous Taiwanese romance writer Chiung Yao, who was looking for actors. At the time, Chiung Yao commented that Zhao was a little chubby but talented. In 1997, Zhao had lost some weight and was offered one of the leading roles in Chiung Yao's television series Princess Pearl. After Princess Pearl was broadcast and enjoyed surprisingly high ratings, Zhao quickly rose to prominence. In 1999, she became the youngest actress to win the Golden Eagle Awards (Mainland China's Emmy) for "Best Actress". In the same year, Zhao also entered the music industry and released her first album, Swallow. Following this, she continually to star in a number of successful television series and movies and released a number of well-sold albums. In 2001, she filmed another series written by Chiung Yao titled Romance in the Rain.
When Zhao Wei donned a Japanese military flag for a fashion shoot — disrespecting not just government policy but perhaps the sensibilities of Chinese still angry over the war with Japan — her career began to fizzle. At a concert, she was tackled by a construction worker who said his grandparents had been killed during the war. He smeared her face with feces.
Afterwards, Zhao began focusing on filming movies. In 2003, Zhao starred in four films, each critically acclaimed. Zhao worked with many prestigious directors, such as Ann Hui. In 2004, she won the "Most Popular Actress" award (Best Actress award equivalent) at the 11th Beijing Student Film Festival for her performance in Warriors of Heaven and Earth, even though she only had 25 lines of dialogue in the entire movie.
2005 proved to be a successful year for Zhao after she won the Best Actress award at the Shanghai International Film Festival and at the Huabiao Award (highest governmental award towards the film industry). Both were for her performance in A Time to Love. Finally, after a four year break from television series, Zhao starred in a remake of Moment in Peking. In conjunction, she was ranked No. 4 on Forbes' 2005 List of Top Chinese Celebrities. Zhao remains as one of the most successful actress in the contemporary Chinese movie/television industry. Her music career is highlighted by her wins in the Channel V Chinese Music Award in 2006 for Most Popular Female Artist and Most Popular Music Video for her music video "Shangguan Yan and I".
Currently, Zhao's newest television series is titled Thank You for Loving Me. Its release is unscheduled, and is currently in production. |
