  Faye Wong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faye Wong, or Wang Fei (Chinese: 王菲; Pinyin: Wang Fēi) (born August 8, 1969 in Beijing, now a Hong Kong citizen) is an extremely popular singer in Asia, especially in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and more recently in Japan and to some extent in the West.
Faye was not at all satisfied with producing albums that the company demanded of her, so this Mandarin album was the result of her own will.
Wong signed with the recording industry magnate EMI in 1997 after her daughter was born, at a price of (according to the media) 60 million Hong Kong dollars (appox.

 Faye Wong
Faye Wong has metamorphosed through multiple identities since she started in the Cantopop industry, trying to find who she is. At the start of the 90s she was known as Shirley Wong, singing the usual love songs, striking the usual photographic poses, and being the same as everyone else.
Faye's albums aren't the usual sappy ballads her female counterparts are accustomed to.
And every new album release of Faye is a new lesson in music, where she brings us to her playground, and astonishes us repeatedly with that clear crystal voice, playful melodies, and nonchalent yodelling that never fails to bring forth a smile of delight, and awe.

 Wong Kar-wai
Wong’s ‘MTV aesthetic’ that finds an equilibrium between sound and image retains a sentimentality that does not succumb to an ‘empty’ spectacle, or allow it to be subsumed by a postmodern ethos.
Wong’s story is continual and the narrative as dependent on the context of the present as of the past.
Wong’s endless array of possible scenarios and the navigation of his protagonists’ internal and external journeys in turn constitute an unravelling and reconfiguring of spatio-temporal constrictions.

Biography: Faye Wong, or Wong Fei (Chinese: Íõ·Æ; pinyin: W¨¢ng F¨¥i) (born August 8, 1969) is an extremely popular Chinese singer and is well-known throughout Asia.
In 1991, she made a short trip to New York for vocal studies and burst onto the Hong Kong music scene the same year with the album Coming Home, which incorporated R&B influences and was a drastic change in musical direction from the more traditional Cantopop fare of her earlier albums.
Wong had previously covered the Cocteau Twins on her 1994 album, Random Thoughts, and had since established a remote working relationship with the band, laying down vocals for a track on the Asian version of their 1995 album, Milk And Kisses.

Her musical style was completely different from the typical love theme found in the Chinese music industry, inspired by international stars like Bjork and later on, the Cocteau Twins.
Faye is closely followed by the media mostly because of her refusal to enclose anything about her personal lifestyle.
However, the sympathy she received from the media during her divorce saga with ex-husband, Dou Wei, made Faye much more open and accepting to the newspapers and paparazzis, though she still refuses to openly talk about her lifestyle.

Faye is different from other HK singers; she has, up until now, only done one concert tour, and she rarely performs on stage, so in comparison, she is not a very experienced stage performer.
Faye is one who can do a lot of things and still remain popular; she is what you call a true idol.
Faye's just like Joni Mitchell, who wasn't affected by reports of her jogging without any clothes on, and how she suddenly got a daughter, etc; that's because she is Joni Mitchell.

Wong wanted her to wear the blonde wig in order to both poke fun at and take advantage of the Greta Garbo vibe Brigitte carried with her.
On the other side of the coin, this was Faye Wong's first role in a movie (though she had worked on a few soap operas before).
After attaining some success in her musical career, Faye broke with tradition by singing in Mandarin rather than Cantonese, while at the same time bringing more of a western influence to her work (she sings the Chinese cover of the Cranberries' "Dreams" featured on the soundtrack).

 Chinese Movie Review | 2046 (2004) Wong Kar Wai, Zhang Ziyi, Faye Wong
For fans of Wong's "In the Mood for Love", "2046's" main character will seem familiar, and that's because "2046" is a sequel to "Mood".
In the second hour Faye Wong (also in the director's "Chungking Express") gets more screentime, playing a love struck young woman who pines for a Japanese beau that her father refuses to accept.
As Faye's character develops a platonic relationship with Chow, the older man starts to feel something for her, but it's ultimately her inability to give up on her Japanese lover that makes him realize his greatest mistake in life.

 ***Faye Wong***
I think that " Faye Wong " is general enough to allow each of you to discover what exists behind the singer, the exceptional one, Faye Wong.
Often, I've regreted discovering Faye, in particular because of the "Homesickness" (yes, it's possible) that I felt as soon as I stopped some hours to listen to her tracks.
The only advice i can do is to enter Faye's world and especially not take her music for something commonplace, that you listen to, to escape some minutes.

There are many reasons Wong Kar-Wai is a genius, but perhaps the zenith of his powers is how accurately he brought the spirit of Faye Wong to the screen in Chungking Express.
Faye Wong is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
Having become obsessed with Wong Kar-Wai’s 2000 film, In The Mood For Love, after acquiring it on DVD, a friend of mine told me I had to see Chungking Express and promptly had it shipped to me. I was mesmerized by the presence of this young woman on my TV screen.

 Chungking Express Review (1994)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Wong Kar-Wai has continued to refine his filmmaking technique over the ten years since Chungking Express brought the director attention in the West, and his ragged, freewheeling fourth film now seems very different to the more composed style of In the Mood for Love and 2046.
Meanwhile, Cop 633 (Tony Leung) has caught the eye of the snack bar owner's cousin Faye (Faye Wong), who seems to be developing a somewhat unhealthy obsession with him — and his apartment.
Particularly amusing is Cop 633's reaction to the changes that Faye makes to his home; it takes him some days to notice and even when he does he presumes it is the apartment itself recovering from the break-up rather than something more sinister.

 Chungking Express (1994)
Wong Kar-Wai has created a Hong Kong cop thriller that's about the cops and not the thrills.
Unbeknownst to him, the cute, Jean Seberg-coiffed Faye Wong has silently fallen in love with him across the counter of the Midnight Express deli.
As you would expect from Wong Kar-Wai, the film is literally dripping with style, but it isn't over-the-top like his later Fallen Angels (the unofficial third chapter to Chungking Express) nor is it bombastic like Ashes of Time.

Teo calls Wong Kar-wai the "Auteur of Time" and 2046 is nothing short of rumination and contemplation on memory/time, sexiness/non-contact, love/loss, and incompleteness which are the hallmarks of Wong Kar-wai.
Wong Kar-wai, in order to be fully appreciated has to be watched many times - and this movie is no exception.
She says she likes it, but wishes it had a happier ending, something fans of Wong Kar Wai sometimes long for, but realize would not be true to that which goes on during his stories.
