Dicky Cheung (Zhang Wei Jian)


THE PERFORMANCE

Acting Skills: A-

Dicky is a good actor, a very good one, his performances are memoriable, mostly. The only thing I did not like too much about Dicky is that all his characters are pretty much alike.



Comedy Skills: A+

Dicky has a very good sense of humor, looking at most of his characters, they are all funny and cute. Since all his characters are pretty much the same, sometimes you feel tired of watching his series. I just wish Dicky can do some serious roles, even being a villain, that will be cool to watch, don't you think?



Crying Skills: A+

Dicky's tears look so real! Most of his series are comedy series, but he still shared amazing crying scenes with audiences



Smiling Skills: A-

Such a funny person like Dicky of course have a great smile



Singing Skills: B+

There are some songs of him are really really awesome, for example, the themesong of "Journey to the West", that is an excellent song! However, there are also numbers of bad songs from Dicky. Don't give me wrong, I do like Dicky's voice, but his songs are about 70% bad and 30% really good...



Kissing Skills: B

Dicky's best kissing scene I remembered was in "Young Master of Shaolin", he was sharing this "good-bye" kiss with his girl before he is going to "die". Amazing kissing scene and amazing chemistry of the two...



Dressing Skills: B+

Dicky looks good with his ancient outfits maybe because I am so use to see him wearing ancient outfits



Improvement Skills: B+

There are some series of Dicky is really really good, such as "Journey to the West" and "Mystery of the Twin Sword", but there are also some series of Dicky is kind of boring, it seems like he is playing the same type of characters all these years



Best Breakthrough Performance:

Journey to the West





THE LOOK

Best looking in Ancient series

Maybe "Journey to the West"? His face really fits that monkey face. I mean, he really looks cute with his monkey outfit... haha



Best looking in Modern series


Since most of the Dicky series I saw are ancient ones, I really can not recall any modern series of his



Best Hair Style

I like Dicky with no hair, I guess





THE SERIES

Best Costar

Rain Lau



Best Ancient Series

1. Journey to the West, it is a very classic TVB series

2. Mystery of the Twin Sword, which very funny and interesting series.



Best Modern Series

Most of the series from Dicky are ancient series, so I can not think of any modern series of him that is memorable



Best Leading Role

The Monkey King in "Journey to the West"



Best Supporting Role

His character in "Chou Lau Heung"

I agree i didnt like him in the third Monkeykking, but i think he was good in 1 and was much better than benny wus.

i like da movie he play in kungfu soccer dat was koo yea but he is so short he almost shorter dan all da gurls in kungfu soccer did yooh saw wen he kiss joey yung she had to bend down hahahha dat was really funny!!!!

yes because he constantly shaved his hair off and it damaged the roots or something so that`s why he`s bald.

i love dicky cheung i wish i can meet him that would be my all time dream. id be satisfied forever. does anyone have the subtheme to kung fu soccer. its really goood. i love dicky!

i think he's really funny and charasmatic but i would like to see him acting in some parts that are different from the tv series he usually does...the goofy but intelligent character that all the girls fall in love with. one or two parts like that was ok but he always has the same role

some news for you guys
Dicky Cheung: the Monkey King of Comedy
When you see artist and actor Dicky Cheung on screen, chances are you're going to see something truly hilarious. Known for his comedic roles, Dicky starred as the legendary charismatic Monkey King in the TV series "Journey To The West" as well as other favorable roles including his portrayal as a hysterically funny teenager in the movie "Future Cops" and his role in a Taiwanese comedy TV series "Duke of Mount Deer". During the rise of Dicky's carer, he was fiercely compared to as another Stephen Chow type, but has since developed his own style and is considered by film directors as one of their first picks when it comes to comedy films. Dicky isn't known to be as crass or as sarcastic as Stephen Chow, but is known for cleaner and simpler comedy, often using his body language, movements and facial expressions to draw laughter rather than by cracking vulgar jokes. For every character Dicky portrays, be it as a comic or as a more serious character, he seems to become them himself, a technique Dicky uses for plausibility in which many actors could not emulate.

Dicky's singing career is also successful although most of his fame is conjured from his acting career. He started singing at a young age at night clubs to earn money. It wasn't until Dicky won TVB's singing contest in 1984 did he become famous. Following this event, his claim to fame was reinforced with a smashing hit, "Aiya Aiya Kiss You". Even though many of his songs were used in conjunction with his television series, one of Dicky's new songs, "Healthy Body," became an inspirational part of secondary school education by encouraging students to cherish life. Having gone through many experiences himself, Dicky learns to be patient, strong and to listen to others in order to follow his own dream for a better future. Though whatever Dicky does, the effort he puts in will guide him towards success.

Career Highlights:
• 20 albums released (1992-2003)
• 1984: Wins TVB's singing contest with the song "The Criss-Cross of Love"
• 1985: First TVB series "From Four D"
• 1985: Film debut of "Crazy Games"
• 1996: Becomes well known for his TVB series "Journey to the West"
• 2002: Stars in TVB Series "Monkey King"
• 2003: New song "Healthy Body" becomes an educational part of secondary school in HK.

Where is he now?
Dicky is spending most of his time in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China making television series. Dicky says he is planning to marry Cheung Sai in 2005!

hi guys, know of any nice series shows with dicky cheung acting in it? i've watched a couple of series of his shows. found 'em amusing. any recommendations and where I can download?

Two great series which come to mind when you mention Dicky Cheung, are "Journey to the West" and "Duke of Mount Deer". Both are filled with his usual comedy scenes, and have some elements of emotional drama as well. His character, as well as the other cast, are fairly likeable in these two series. And the series themselves are very well structured, leaving you with very few boring scenes.

ahh, I have this 2 series in my collection and watched. I just saw Pride of Twins. something liddat I think. any others?

i cant wait til his movie come out over here! the twin something

He's on the new series of Proud Twins with Nic.

Is he's acting on World's Finest?

Dicky has very good comedy acting skills. I just recently watched his Kung Fu Soccer series and it was very good

The Proud of Twins Rules!

But ending sucked <.<
Dicky's joke in the film are SO FUNNY

I just love dicky's acting skills, that's amazing how he can act. He doesn't just act funny he can also act a very serious person, he can cry well and he looks cool. Proud of twins is the third series I've watched with dicky. Some people say that he's always acting in the same way and that that's getting boring. But I think everyone has their own way of acting and I find dicky's way superb!
Is he also so funny in "real" life? Don't often hear news about him...

i like dicky very much. I watch his movie since very long ago. I hope he will keep on his hard work

love dicky soo much..he always brings soo much laughter and fun into series..i love watching him soo much....haha now i cant remmeebr how he looks with hair cos hes had it all shaved off for quite a long time!!!
i watched him in minutes to fame recently....he was soo generous..much nicer than any of the other judges...

Never heard that before. Doesn't sound right....

i haven't really heard that before either, but i have herad rumors saying that he shaved his hair too much, or something like that, and his hair doesn't grow back anymore

who knows, maybe he likes his bald look, it's more convenient for filming ancient series though

anyone seen "proud of twins" yet? it seems interesting

i saw the twin brothers/siblings whatever =).. I LOVE IT hehe.. i of course love dicky.. his actin is hella good.. and yeah SHOULD WATCH IT =)

I don't think so he is bald. He shave his hair most of the time.

wow anyone has pics of his siblings? do they look similar?

o_o;;.. i dont have a pic of them and they dont look like each other.. buh personality wise yes.. iono you should look around in www.google.com Yupzz

hehes` dicky is very funny...especially my favorite series in him is da monkey king III (=

Dicky!! I'm currently watching kung-fu soccer and hes cool!! weeeee =]

Hi! Does anyone knows where to download his movie Kungfu Soccer and Monkey King? Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, Ikwan Kung fu Soccer isn't a movie. It's a show with 33 episodes, and i so is Journey to the West...i think?

I'm currently watching Kung Fu Soccer on T.v. which is really good, but i would rather download it but i dont kno where =( so yep. I think that Dicky Cheung is a reallly good and funny actor and hes a pretty good singer too =P hehe, and in my opinion hes funnier than stephen chow. yepyep

I'm watching the proud of twins rite now...and its really good, everyoen should watch it

Hi AznMangix, i thanks for the info. I think his new series is quite nice but the ending is a little bit too sad. Hope u enjoy it.

Hey people! Does anyone know what Dicky Cheung is working on now? Kung Fu Soccer is really exciting, i just stopped on the episode where it just started second half of the game...and the other team the magic team bought a really pro player...wont say more just in case someone here hasnt watched it and wants to....

Dicky Cheung is a really funny actor!! i really want to see Golden Chicken 2 it looks like a really good movie.. good cast and of course!! DICKY CHEUNG! =D

sooo if anyone knows whats he working on now, can u tell me??

dicky cheung is a reaally funny actor and i remember that he also sing before and the music wasnt bad at all....

ani how..dicky's new serie "Prouds of Twin" was really good...it was with Nicholas tse tooo....if anyone is interested u could check it out..

i am watching smart kid and dicky is very funny and whne he crys so less tears comes out...

This movie remind me of GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA (GTO). I realy think that its the chinese version of GTO. The concept of the whole movie is all about Dicky Cheung in the school. The only difference btw GTO and Smart Kid is Dicky is the prince.I like the starting part very much but not the ending. Overall this movie is ok.

Dicky was so funny in the place that he was cross dressing a gurl in the proud of twins LOL

do you think that dicky cheung dresses up as a woman in a lot of his films recently,
1, kung fu soccer,
2, proud of twins

lol, but in the acting business mainly new style or shocking style can attract people to watch them. hopefully he dont need to dress up. because it doesnt suit him

i like the series that he plays in. he's always so funny. i love kung fu soccer. its a bit old but it was good. he was soo funny and enthusiastic.

Though I have never seen both the series, i think dicky looks quite good as a woman. Its so relaxing watching his series. I hope he can do more ancient series.

i'm a big fan of him, and if there is anything out, that is cantonese i will get/watch it

what i like about him
is he CAN cry, as an actor.
most actors/actresses just pull faces, and not a single tear, where he can do it.

and in his films, when he is upset, he can make the audience upset with him, and when he is happy, he can make people happy with him, when he is with a girl , you would smile at him

I don't remember when I saw Dicky for the first time, but the most memorable is Monkey King. I do remember him as a monkey, but very cute one...and I found that very disturbing...and then I saw him again in Duke of Mountain Deer. And then Proud of Twins or Twins Heroes. One thing that I can't forget about him is that very distinctive big smile with his playfull eyes. And it makes you want to smile too.
I like his acting...also his flexible body...when I saw him in Kungfu soccer I am geussing that he likes sport or at least soccer, because eventhough it's only an acting, you can see that he can kick some balls...no wonder he used to be a goalie in his early days...
I don't know ...when I learn more about him...I've learnt that he's not only an actor that I am adored but also kind of man that I always imagine I could have. Quite surprise...when I found out....I though it's only my imagination that there is that kind of man, but yes there is...
What a pity....we have different path of life and different world....so it'll be my imagination only....but don't u think it doesn't hurt....well it does...
so...just keep up the good work Dicky and live happily with ur girlfriend....I want to see your next action...

kindda late replying to this thread! ^^ lol anyways i agree wiv you guys, Dicky is one of the best! I've only seen some of the TV series, Mr.Winner and this other one which i can't remember very well, the journey to the west was gd, i loved that show! i didn't realise it was him though, i didn't recognise him, but i was also very young when i saw that so....yea ' . I hope to see some of his movies ^^ I also think he's a great person because he's suffered so much hardships when he was younger. How he had to work to get money for his family and everything, it's kindda sad but he's fine now. ^^
I like him Bald too!^^ i'm just used to it i guess, beacuse the 1st time i actually was interested and became a fan i saw him in Mr.Winner and he was bald there^^

I like the series...I've seen it few times now...and I really like the part when he went undercover as a girl, xiao la ba....it's so funny...and yes I think he looks hot as a woman....maybe because of his lips...he has very girlie lips....looks good with lipstick....hehehe

I want to see more of his series, but when I'm browsing to yesasia.com...most of them are without subtitles...well it's kinda dissapointing because I don't understand chinese.... and then it hits me...do I have to learn Chinese first...well it will take very long time to do that.... ...
anyone !!!Please help me!!!
