Vicki Zhao Biography
Zhao Wei is a Chinese film actress and pop singer. Audiences sometimes refer to her by her English name, Vicki Zhao. She is considered one of the "Four Young Dan actresses" in China, along with Xu Jinglei, Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun. After being chosen to work as an extra on a filming set, Zhao developed a passion for acting. While studying at Beijing Film Academy, Zhao participated in various film projects. Zhao`s breakout role as a leading actress was in Princess Pearl, a television series. In 1999, after Princess Pearl was broadcast, Zhao also began a singing career with her first album, Swallow. After her breakthrough, Zhao has been involved in numerous controversies about her personal and professional lives, including posing in a dress resembling a Japanese war flag. Throughout her career, Zhao has engaged herself in more varied roles, such as Lu Yiping in Romance in the Rain, a policewoman named An Xin in Jade Goddess of Mercy, the playful Qu Ran in A Time to Love, and the gentle, intelligent Yao Mulan Moment in Peking. She has also remained active in her music, recording several albums since her debut in 1999.

Trivia
  • Perhaps my most outstanding personal trait is my lack of outstanding personal traits. The characters I play have much more personality than I do. So maybe it`s easier for me to slip into the various characters. Also, the parts I play are all very different. So in that sense my absence of persona is an advantage. But maybe one day I`ll develop a strong personality and it`ll give me a whole new kind of career. - taking a stab at defining herself.

  • I`d gotten so used to it, doing TV shows, that I`d started to ignore it. But on Shaolin Soccer it was like the camera was a new boyfriend. I felt shy around it. I really wanted to show it my emotions, but I wasn`t sure if I was expressing my feelings correctly or not. It was like falling in love. And I still feel like I`m in that phase: falling in love with the camera. I still can`t treat it like a husband who`s been around for 10 years. If I start to feel that way. Then I`ll become a director! - on interacting with the camera during filming.

  • I feel that artistic directors are very serious about their work, they have more experience, and their expectations will be very high. About receiving an award, I don`t dare to have extravagant hopes.
