Eva Huang Shengyi Biography
Eva Huang Shengyi was born in an educated family; her father is a university professor, while her mother a newspaper editor. Eva’s parents didn’t want her to pursue an entertainment career, but gave her full support after Eva insisted on choosing her path.
After graduated from the Beijing Film Academy in 2001, Eva starred in a couple of low budget TV dramas.
Eva Huang got her breakthrough in 2003 when she was selected by superstar Stephen Chow (周星驰) to star as the leading actress in movie “Kungfu Hustle.”
Kungfu Hustle was showed in 2004 and was a huge box-office success. Eva however didn’t manage to show much of her talent in the movie, starring as a mute and appeared less than 10 minutes in the movie.
Eva Huang gained more press coverage later on when she was caught with the legal fight with Stephen’s agency. Eva was sued for accepting jobs on her own (thus breach of contract) but Eva defended her case citing that she was misled into signing her contract and was not properly taken care of.
Many had thought that it’s the end of Eva’s entertainment career, but she fought hard and getting more exposures in commercials and some TV dramas. Her bravery and independence has won the hearts of many of her fans, and she is regarded as one of the most popular China artist these days.
Eva’s legal case with her (former) agency was finally settled in early 2007 in Eva’s favor. Some reports have suggested that Eva had to pay 6 million RMB (~USD1-1.5 million) to settle the case, but it was denied by Eva.
Eva Huang has just inked her recording deal on her 24th birthday (Feb 11) and is expected to release her debut album in mid 2007.
It’s amazing to see a lady with not much profile achieving her popularity, and she can only get better and more popular.
Why I Like Eva Huang Shengyi
I first saw Eva Huang in Kungfu Hustle (who doesn’t?), and I actually thought that she’s very beautiful.
I didn’t expect to see her breaking up with her talent agency and thus lost the chance to continue working with Stephen Chow; but Eva has always managed to get good media exposure, and she showed great maturity in handling her legal case.
I haven’t really seen any special talent from Eva yet, but as said… I like her look, and I hope she will involve in more good productions in near future.

Really good looking girl. That’s supposed to be, ‘breach’ of contract yummy, not “bleach”. Although I’m sure she would have liked for it to have been bleached, lol.
I’d be curious about the details of the lawsuit against her. But just in general, if she was taking on outside jobs then Stephen Chow had a point. The claim that she was “misled” and “not properly taken care of” is something that’s not very clear in my opinion without knowing exactly what she meant. Was she just not happy with the money all of a sudden or what? A breach of contract is a breach of contract regardless of how you feel you’ve not been taken care of. But I guess she had enough evidence to convince the court in her favor.
But she’s a great looking gal. When I opened up this page I was like , Whoa! what a hottie!

Thanks for the correction.
The details of the lawsuit were not released as both parties had mutual agreement on the issue. What I know is that Eva felt cheated because her supposed ‘leading role’ in “Kungfu Hustle” turned out to be just a cameo (can’t even fit in as supporting actress imo) and was not getting any other jobs after signing her contract for almost 2 years.
Eva really looks great, there’s something special about her look, a bit like Pan-Asian perhaps.

without heavy make-up, she is so ugly.
Dirty face, dirty heart. Totally pop trash!!!!!!!!!!!11

happy… lots of celebrities look normal without makeup. You want to say that Eva has a dirty face and dirty heart? Prove it.
March 3rd, 2007 at 4:27 pm
she is my friend, i know her better than you do. i want to say she has dirty heart, most of all. compared to other celebrities, she is still ugly with makeup (her pictures looks extremely artificial, maybe 500 steps in photoshop).any smart person can see, she is not pretty after all.
in fact (and do you understand mandarin?) she IS “斗鸡眼” into cameras, no close-up shoot– something cannot be covered by makeup and plastic surgery.
i’ll stop here. i don’t want to make her look like popular through our comments or arguing, since she is not. Because I know, rumor makes pop-figure popular (the first principle in entertainment industrial), which is also the only way she relied on to reach mass media…

happy… I can’t disagree that you could know her better. I barely know her… what I see is just she portrays in public.
I think she looks cool though (with makeup at least), call me dumb then… I think she’s pretty. Yes I do understand Mandarin and “斗鸡眼”… not sure about that too.
Btw, you keep on saying that she has a dirty heart… but what did she actually done to make you think so? Something really bad?
March 9th, 2007 at 2:26 am
“斗鸡眼” = “cross-eyed chick”. Ok i think i can agree with that a little, she is a little cross eyed in some shots but ugly? Whoa! She is beautiful, no doubt about that. period. And how does she has a dirty heart? Prove it or can’t, jealousy is a quick retort.
