Faye Wong
Faye Wong( born 8 August 1969) is a Chinese singer- songwriter and actress, often referred to as" the Diva" in the Chinese- speaking world.
Early in her career she briefly used the stage name Shirley Wong( Chinese: 王靖雯).
Born in Beijing, she moved to British Hong Kong in 1987 and came to public attention in the early 1990s by singing in Cantonese, often combining alternative music with mainstream Chinese pop.
Since 1994 she has recorded mostly in her native Mandarin.
In 2000 she was recognised by Guinness World Records as the" Best Selling Canto- Pop Female".
Following her second marriage in 2005 she withdrew from the limelight, but returned to the stage in 2010 amidst immense interest.

In the West she is perhaps best known for starring in Wong Kar-wai's films" Chungking Express" and" 2046".
While she has collaborated with international artists such as Cocteau Twins, Wong recorded only a few songs in English, including" Eyes on Me" – the theme song of the video game" Final Fantasy VIII".
Wong is known to be a" diva with few words" in public, and has gained a reputation for her" cool" personality.
In" Encyclopedia of Contemporary Chinese Culture", Jeroen de Kloet characterised her as" singer, actress, mother, celebrity, royalty, sex symbol and diva all at the same time".
Wong's daughter Leah Dou is also a pop singer.

Chungking Express
Chungking Express is a 1994 Hong Kong comedy-drama film written and directed by Wong Kar-wai.
The film consists of two stories told in sequence, each about a lovesick Hong Kong policeman mulling over his relationship with a woman.
The first story stars Takeshi Kaneshiro as a cop obsessed with his breakup with a woman named May, and his encounter with a mysterious drug smuggler (Brigitte Lin).
The second stars Tony Leung as a police officer roused from his gloom over the loss of his flight attendant girlfriend (Valerie Chow) by the attentions of a quirky snack bar worker (Faye Wong).
"Chungking" in the title refers to Chungking Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui, where Wong grew up in the 1960s.
"Express" refers to the food stand Midnight Express, located in Lan Kwai Fong, an area in Central, Hong Kong.
I Want Your Love (film)
I Want Your
Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film.
Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews.
The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons.
The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes.
The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword.
This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.
The Big Tease
The Big Tease is a 1999 American comedy film starring Craig Ferguson, directed by Kevin Allen, and written by Ferguson and Sacha Gervasi.
Matt Corboy

Wong Kar-wai
Wong Kar- wai( born 17 July 1958) is a Chinese film director.
His art films are characterised by nonlinear narratives, atmospheric music, and vivid cinematography involving bold, saturated colours.
A pivotal figure of Hong Kong cinema, Wong has a considerable influence on filmmaking with his trademark personal, unconventional approach, and his films frequently appear on best- of lists domestically and internationally.
Born in Shanghai in 1958, Wong moved to Hong Kong with his family when he was five.
He began a career as a screenwriter for soap operas before transitioning to directing with his debut, the crime drama" As Tears Go By"( 1988).
While" As Tears Go By" was fairly successful in Hong Kong, Wong moved away from the contemporary trend of crime and action movies to embark on more personal filmmaking styles.
" Days of Being Wild"( 1990), his first venture into such direction, did not perform well at the box office.
It however received critical acclaim, and won Best Film and Best Director at the 1991 Hong Kong Film Awards.
His next film," Ashes of Time"( 1994), was met with mixed reception because of its vague plot and atypical take on the wuxia genre.
The production of" Ashes of Time" was time- consuming and left Wong exhausted; he subsequently directed" Chungking Express"( 1994) with hopes of reconciling with filmmaking.
The film, expressing a more lighthearted atmosphere, catapulted Wong to international prominence, and won Best Film and Best Director at the 1995 Hong Kong Film Awards.
Wong consolidated his worldwide reputation with the 1997 drama" Happy Together", for which he won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival.
The 2000 drama" In the Mood for Love", revered for its lush visuals and subtle storytelling, concretely established Wong's trademark filmmaking styles.
Among his other work are" 2046"( 2004) and" The Grandmaster"( 2013), both of which received awards and nominations worldwide.
