4-year-old Edison Chen recently became a hot search topic due to a chance encounter by netizens.

At that time, he was traveling with his daughter Alaia. He smiled in front of netizens and took pictures. However, after the photos were exposed, it sparked heated discussions: "This state has more wrinkles than my dad!"

However, in fact, Edison Chen has already He is not considered a member of the industry - he was affected by the "Pornographic Photo Scandal" incident and had to withdraw from the industry indefinitely. Although he later made guest appearances in many works, he never had a stage to show himself.

In desperation, he had no choice but to work hard to run his own fashion brand store, which has been prosperous ever since.

But netizens who know him have never forgotten how popular this "Hong Kong-style handsome guy" who debuted in the millennium was:

He was known as "Andy Lau's successor". At his peak, he was as famous as Jay Chou and Nicholas Tse, and he also captured countless celebrities. The hearts of female stars, many superstars took photos with him, showing their admiration...

It's a pity, there is no if.

After the "Pornographic Photogate" incident broke out, Edison Chen hit rock bottom. Even now, 16 years later, he will still be ridiculed for it when he shows up again. It's still embarrassing to think about it now.

1. "The most promising new generation"

Edison Chen was born in 1980 in a wealthy family in Vancouver, Canada. His father, Chen Zemin, was an outstanding businessman.

It is reported that he worked hard in the business world in his early years, and later started his career in Canada. In the 1990s, he returned to Hong Kong, China, to open a financial company, and had good relationships with many big names in the entertainment industry.

There are not many rumors about Edison Chen’s mother, but from the photos of her when she was young, it can be seen that she has outstanding grace, stunning appearance and extremely good looks.

However, Edison Chen’s parents did not have a harmonious relationship, and they even quietly went through the divorce procedures not long after giving birth to him.

Therefore, he rarely saw his father during his childhood. It was not until the age of 9 that he offered to return to Hong Kong, China, to live with his father.

After that, Edison Chen could see all kinds of big stars appearing at home, such as Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung.

However, the favorable living conditions could not make up for the loneliness of his father who was often busy with social activities and rarely came home. He began to rebel at a young age.

Looking back on his time many years later, Edison Chen said that the money in his pocket would not be less than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars every day, and then he would skip school, smoke, fight, and even thought about joining a hei gang.

But as time went by, this "problem boy" gradually grew up and inherited his parents' amazing beauty.

html At the age of 119, when he returned to Hong Kong for summer vacation, he was spotted by a casting director at a party and invited to shoot a commercial.

Because of his handsome appearance and good English, Edison Chen successfully got this opportunity.

In fact, as a child who grew up in the center of Vanity Fair and the entertainment industry, he did not initially want to be an actor. He only agreed to star because he was interested in playing.

Unexpectedly, after the filming, Edison Chen accidentally met Jackie Chan and Daniel Wu, who had just finished working together, at a meal. The latter's agent called him to take a photo with him.

At that time, Daniel Wu had just started his acting career after starring in "Young Love". The following year, he collaborated with Jackie Chan in "Glass Bottle", and his career was on the rise.

Not long after, his agent gave Edison Chen the script of "New Humans" and invited him to play the male protagonist Addison in the play.

Faced with the opportunity, Edison Chen chose to return to Canada to discuss with his mother and received support, "Then I returned to Hong Kong."

In 2000, he just turned 20 and made his debut with this film. Although he had no acting experience, he made his debut in one fell swoop He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best New Actor and had a good start.

In the same year, Edison Chen also entered the music scene and made a strong debut with an EP of the same name. Among them, "Love Myself", which was written and composed by superstar Leslie Cheung, received an overwhelming response.

In the end, this album won him another gold medal for the most popular male newcomer in the top ten Chinese golden songs.

Two very important awards have made Edison Chen unparalleled. Leslie Cheung also came forward to support:

"I admire Edison Chen very much, he is the most potential among the next generation."

2. "The male star with the messiest private life"?

At that time, the Hong Kong scene was turbulent, with Nicholas Tse, Daniel Wu, Shawn Yue and other male stars of the same age eager to try it out, among which Edison Chen was famous for his "good looks".

His appearance can be sweet or salty, he is cute and naughty when he is not smiling, and when he smiles, he has a cuteness, and there is a touch of arrogance and melancholy in his eyes.

Such an appearance naturally attracts many women in the industry. Stars, including Gillian from Twins.

She is 1 year younger than Edison Chen and comes from a modest family, but she was also selected by the Emperor because of her angelic face and became a star that attracted much attention at a young age.

It is said that the two met at Wei Shi, and they were involved before they debuted and established a romantic relationship.

The woman attaches great importance to this relationship, which also paved the way for the future "Nude Photo Incident".

Let’s talk about Edison Chen’s acting career. After his debut, he reached the peak of his career, and his resources exploded, and he played the role of young Liu Jianming in “Infernal Affairs” one after another.

Because of this role, Edison Chen was labeled as "Andy Lau's successor" by the outside world. However, he himself was not satisfied with the non-stop work day after day. He was very dissatisfied with the various tasks taken over by the agency: "I started to be a slave."

Moreover, he, who is known for his unruly nature, is also dissatisfied with the "little fresh meat" positioning created by the company for himself, so he has been looking for a breakthrough.

And there are many celebrities, and Edison Chen, who is gradually becoming famous, has more and more scandals.

At this stage, he met actresses such as Cai'er Ying, Cecilia Cheung, Elva Hsiao, Meiqi Li, and Caihua Li successively due to working relationships, and there were scandals.

However, although he will talk about his various relationship experiences in interviews, he has never admitted any girlfriends in the industry:

"Before I entered the entertainment industry, I had 5 girlfriends!"

Worth it It’s also worth mentioning that in Hong Kong, a small place where people rarely look up, Edison Chen’s romance will undoubtedly bring about various controversies and will inevitably offend his “brothers”.

For example, when filming "The New Boys 2", Li Meiqi, who was rumored to have an affair, had been Daniel Wu's girlfriend;

Cecilia Cheung, who was in the same company, later married his "good brother" Nicholas Tse, and the three of them had entanglements. Deep, it can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences;

In addition, according to Gillian's interview in the future, at this stage, she was Edison Chen's secret real girlfriend, and the man even fought with Shawn Yue backstage for her... …

In short, according to incomplete statistics, in the 6 years from Edison Chen’s debut in 2000 to 2006 when he was confirmed to be with Yang Shoucheng’s niece Yang Yongqing, in addition to the above, his rumored girlfriends also included Rachel, Amanda S, Chen Wenyuan, Zhou Liqi, Stephy Tang, The number of actresses such as Huang Wanjun, Jolin Tsai, Joey Yung, etc. is approaching the 20 mark.

What is even more intriguing is that during the period when scandals were swirling around him, his father, Chen Zemin, also made headlines on the entertainment pages one after another because of homosexual rumors.

Since 2000, Chen’s father’s affair with the domestic entertainment star Hu Bing has been spreading. Especially in 2003, he held a birthday party in the mainland and even wore couple’s clothes with him.

These rumors also cast a shadow over Edison Chen's acting career, but fortunately, he has always had a plan for himself.

3. While the former top star

, who wants to prove himself the most, is enjoying great luck, Edison Chen's career has also been advancing by leaps and bounds.

As early as 2003, he founded his own clothing brand and actively participated in all aspects of clothing materials and design. It can be seen that it is not just for fun.

It is said that this business initially received 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars in start-up capital from his father, and was ridiculed by the other party:

"This 2.5 million is wasted." However, in fact, Edison Chen, who was affected by the "Pornographic Photo Incident" a few years later, just relied on With the clot brand, you can live the way you want.

As for his acting career, in addition to "Infernal Affairs", he also collaborated with Jay Chou and others on "Initial D", which was also a hit.

At the same time, he is also good at using music works to express his views on society and culture. A hiphop album "hazy" won the Best Hip-Hop Artist Award at the Chinese Music Media Awards.

It can be seen that the then 25-year-old Edison Chen not only had a handsome face, but also had strong ambitions for an acting career.

In 2006, Edison Chen, who did not want to continue to be "fresh meat" in his works, produced the movie "Dog Eat Dog". In the film

, he gave up his proud appearance and played a violent killer. The depth of his involvement and the maturity of his acting skills are staggering, and it also made people see the plasticity of his performance.

In September of this year, Edison Chen was photographed passionately kissing Yang Yongqing, the niece of "Hong Kong tycoon" Yang Shoucheng, in the streets of Los Angeles, and the scandal was exposed.

But this time was different from the past. Just one month later, he publicly admitted his first relationship since his debut for the first time, announcing that he had been dating her for just three months, and said "this time I am very serious."

Yang Yongqing is the daughter of wealthy businessman Yang Chaocheng. Her father owns many companies and is also the younger brother of Emperor Group Chairman Yang Shoucheng.

Growing up in such a family, Yang Yongqing is very well-behaved and simple, and because he grew up abroad, his mind is relatively open. After falling in love with Edison Chen, he became particularly stubborn, even if his family objected, he would move forward bravely. After

established their relationship, Edison Chen recorded "Kangxi Is Coming" once. When

faced questions, he bluntly said that his girlfriend was "different from other girls. She doesn't like him because she is a star."

Perhaps it was because of love that he slowed down his career at this stage, and only produced one movie "Bad Things" the following year.

This film also stars rumored girlfriends Gillian and Stephy Tang, love rivals Shawn Yue and Mak Chun-lung, and has easily become the talk of the audience after dinner.

In July of the same year, Edison Chen released a new album "Let Me Introduce Myself Again".

But what he didn't expect was that just five months later, he would cause an uproar due to the "pornographic photo incident". After the

incident broke out, countless netizens became extremely angry, calling Edison Chen a pervert and clamoring for him to "get out of the entertainment industry" forever. In response to this, this seemingly cynical "young master" quickly made a textbook-level apology.

However, his career has also been hit hard. He announced that he would "retire indefinitely from the Hong Kong entertainment industry" and that was not the end. He also received death text messages and life threats in private, and the cyber violence he endured has not ended yet.

After that, Edison Chen went abroad and his career was ruined. At the same time, his father's business also suffered sudden changes, and everything was reduced to zero overnight.

Fortunately, his girlfriend Yang Yongqing never left her, but their relationship only lasted for another three years before ending. During

, Edison Chen also thought about making a comeback, but the situation was no longer comparable to before.

In desperation, he focused all his energy on fashion brand management. By 2015, the brand's annual revenue had exceeded 10 million US dollars, and he continued to promote "Made in China" in the process.

After cleaning up the charisma, Edison Chen reflected on himself: Thanks to the "Pornographic Photos Incident" for giving me the opportunity to think about what is life and what is life.

When he was even asked, "If you had the opportunity to change everything, what would you change?", he also said firmly:

"I won't change anything."

In 2016, Edison Chen and supermodel Qin Shupei were photographed kissing on the streets of Japan. , it was reported that they were in love. It is reported that the two met at a catwalk event in the same year and soon came together.

The woman had just ended a marriage at the time, and the two seemed to hit it off. They gave birth to their daughter Alaia the following year and have been living a low-key life until now.

As a result, Edison Chen has become a "daughter slave". Social media platforms often upload every moment with his daughter, until this time he was photographed with her again. It can be seen that he is proud and sweet.

Perhaps his "good looks" have long since faded, and netizens have ridiculed him for "colliding with Zhao Benshan", but the legendary stories he left behind in the film industry will not be forgotten.

Edison Chen, who has now transformed into the "new Mr. Nice", may have only one purpose, which is to prove himself:

"I'm not that bad."

4-year-old Edison Chen recently became a hot search topic due to a chance encounter by netizens.

At that time, he was traveling with his daughter Alaia. He smiled in front of netizens and took pictures. However, after the photos were exposed, it sparked heated discussions: "This state has more wrinkles than my dad!"

However, in fact, Edison Chen has already He is not considered a member of the industry - he was affected by the "Pornographic Photo Scandal" incident and had to withdraw from the industry indefinitely. Although he later made guest appearances in many works, he never had a stage to show himself.
