Jacky Cheung Hok-yau received several awards at the IFPI Gold Disc Awards Presentation 1997-98, once again proving his popularity among music fans.
The singer says he will use his own style for his forthcoming Cantonese album. Some say his last album was not well-received because he changed direction.
This time Cheung is determined to stick to his own preferences. He is not under too much pressure but would like to come up with a record that satisfies his own requirements and taste.
Actress Maggie Cheung Man-yuk was recently interviewed by CNN in Paris. She said filming for Memoirs of a Geisha had been delayed till 2000.
Many Asian actors are aiming for international exposure and hope to use Hollywood as a vehicle to stardom. Cheung has played various roles and does not want to be stereotyped.
'I don't know why foreigners seem to think of me as an action star,' she said.
Her dream is to win an Oscar but she admits it would take a long time to achieve her goal.
