Biography

Born in Hong Kong in 1960, LAU has worked as a producer, a cinematographer, and Hong Kong's most renowned director, earning him the nickname "the box office hit maker" In 1995, he teamed up with Jing Wong and Wong Man-chun to create BOB and Partner Limited, producing the series Young & Dangerous, which topped the Hong Kong box office for consecutive years. Through < The Storm Riders > and < A Man Called Hero >, he rewrote the record books for action movies and created a sensation across Asia. His dramatic style and memorable soundtracks have been instrumental in raising Hong Kong action films to a new level. The success of his Infernal Affairs trilogy has brought him fame akin to that of John Woo, making LAU most sought after in Hollywood and Hong Kong. Despite his many offers, however, LAU spurned them all for a chance to direct < Daisy >.

Jeon Ji-hyeon has returned to act in Korea. With a leading role in the new movie "A Man Who Was Superman" to be directed by Jeong Yoon-cheol, Jeon returns to Chungmuro, Korea's Hollywood, after a long absence.

Korean audiences last saw Jeon in last year's "Daisy", but that movie was made by Hong Kong's Andrew Lau, director of "Infernal Affairs", and shot in Amsterdam. After working on that she took the lead in the international film "Blood: The Last Vampire" in an attempt to break into Hollywood. It has been three years since her last Korean movie, "Windstruck" in 2004.

In the new movie Jeon will appear alongside Korean actor Hwang Jeong-min. She will take on the role of Song Su-jeong, a snobbish producer who makes a documentary about the extraordinary behavior of her neighbor (played by Hwang) who believes himself to be Superman.

"Any actresses would be eager for the script and the part. Above all, I'm looking forward to acting with Hwang Jeong-min", she said. "This role is t...
The multinational movie "Daisy" directed by Andrew Lau Wai-Keung and starring top Korean stars Jeon Ji-hyeon and Jeong Woo-seong made a good start in China.

The largest Chinese portal site Sina.com said Tuesday that "Daisy" topped the box office on its day of release with an estimated 230 million (230,000 dollars), the highest amount that any Korean movie released in China has posted on release day.

The movie was released there on April 30, one day before the country started its one-week long holidays on the occasion of May Day. The Chinese press has reported that the movie's success on its first day may increase the number of theaters showing the movie.

"Daisy", which was released in Korea in March to a mediocre response, is a story about a tragic love triangle between an aspiring painter played by Jeon, a killer played by Jeong and an Interpol agent played by Lee Seong-jae. ...
'Dae Jang Geum' exhibit in Tokyo

A charity event inspired by the Korean TV drama "Dae Jang Geum" will be held in Tokyo May 2-14 at the Mitsukosi department store in Nihonbasi.

Hosted by Japan's public broadcaster NHK, it will display a full-scale replica of the royal kitchen set seen in the drama. Also on display will be the stunning original costumes and props sponsored by MBC, a Korean TV network which made the popular drama starring actress Lee Young-ae who portrayed a royal chef-turned-doctor.

Actor Im Ho who played the role of the king will participate in the opening ceremony and hold a news conference.

"Daejanggeum" is currently aired by NHK in Japan.

K-pop stars to sing for charity event

The only way for a romantic tearjerker with an obvious storyline to avoid failure is to put as much emphasis as possible on the adorable couple. If people just can't keep their eyes off the gorgeous hunk and the stunning girl, no matter how jealous they may be of either, and if on top of that the weak old plot cranks along against breathtaking scenery and is set to lush music, it may well succeed in bypassing the brain altogether by appealing to audiences' eyes, ears and gut.

"Daisy" is a castle built on just such sandy ground. With Jeon Ji-hyeon and Jung Woo-sung, Korea's best looking TV commercial couple, as a safety net and the picturesque canals of Amsterdam as a setting, Hong Kong director Andrew Lau, who showed his stuff in "Infernal Affairs", has cooked up a light melodrama with a touch of Noir. The connotations of the daisy -- it stands for "loyal love" -- are both the subtitle and theme of a film told from three points of view.

Hye-young (Jeon Ji-hyeon) makes a kind of l...
Actors Jeon Ji-hyeon and Jeong Woo-seong have beaten the recent popularity of historical movies.

"Daisy", which stars Jeon and Jeong, took the top spot on the weekend box office with 121,891 viewers in Seoul. The film has drawn 605,618 viewers at 381 cinemas nationwide since its opening on March 9.

Directed by Hong Kong director Wai Keung Lau (Andrew Lau), the movie satisfies viewers' desire for romantic stories with beautiful scenes and a hint of Hong Kong noir films.

"Eumran-seossaeng" ("Forbidden Quest") drew 2.3 million viewers at 371 cinemas nationwide and came in second on the list.

"The King and the Clown" drew 4,1000 viewers in Seoul alone over the weekend. Its total number of viewers have reached more than 12 million, an all-time record.

"Walk the Line" has attracted 109,600 viewers nationwide since its opening on March 9. Starring actress Reese Witherspoon won the Academy Award for "actress in a leading role".
