Early life and education

edit

Chen was born on 27 August 1983.[1] While in high school, Chen participated in the Taiwanese variety show Red Versus White [zh] due to his similarity to Takeshi Kaneshiro. He attended Jinwen University of Science and Technology.[2]

Career

edit

Chen first gained attention with his debut film Blue Gate Crossing, which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival and received positive reviews.[3] His supporting roles in Hong Kong films, such as The Twins Effect II, A Chinese Tall Story and Kung Fu Dunk pushed his stardom to regions beyond Taiwan.[4]

Chen rose to prominence in 2011. He was nominated for the Best Actor award at the Deauville Asian Film Festival for his performance in the independent drama film Buddha Mountain.[5][6] The same year, he won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actor with his memorable performance in the hit drama In Time with You.[7] On January 6, 2012, Chen appeared in a Taiwanese game show, All Pass (based on FOX's game show Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?) and became the only person to win the NT$100,000 (about US$3,300) grand prize; Chen faced the question during the taping, "Name the person who said the phrase: "There are three ups, on a pillow, a saddle, and the toilet.", to which he gave the correct answer Ouyang Xiu. When host Chang Hsiao-yen questioned Chen on how he got the answer, he recalled reading one of Xiu's books despite being unsure on what to give for the answer.[8]

Chen won the "Outstanding Performance" award at the 2013 Chinese Film Media Awards for the romance film Snowfall in Taipei.[9] The following year, he starred in the road trip comedy The Continent, directed by Han Han.[citation needed]

In 2015, Chen signed with BM+ Entertainment, for his foray into the Korean entertainment industry.[10] The same year, he starred in 20 Once Again, the Chinese remake of the hit Korean film Miss Granny.[11] The film grossed 32,350,000 USD and set the box office record for Korean-Chinese co-produced films.[12]

Chen then starred in two Chinese-Korean co-productions - black comedy film Bad Guys Always Die opposite Son Ye-jin,[13] and romantic comedy film Life Risking Romance with Ha Ji-won.[14]

In 2016, Chen paired up with Song Ji-hyo in the Chinese version of We Got Married, a virtual reality program which pairs celebrities together as a couple.[15] The same year, he joined the cast of Korean drama Monster.[16]

In 2017, Chen starred in The Dreaming Man, a romantic comedy film produced by Disney.[17]
