Eva Huang rose to fame after starring in Stephen Chow's action comedy film Kung Fu Hustle (2004).[2] Kung Fu Hustle took a record 155 million yuan at box offices across the Chinese mainland, making it China's top-grossing film in 2004.[3] In August the following year, she ended her contract with Chow's company after appearing in a magazine photo shoot without their consent.[4][5] Huang then starred in Dragon Squad (2005),[6] which received critical acclaim and was among the first films to be listed in the permanent collection by the National Museum of China.[7]

Starting in 2006, Huang worked with China Juli Group on a number of television series, including Fairy Couple (2007) and The Shadow of Empress Wu (2007).[8][9] Fairy Couple was the highest rated drama of the year, and led to increased recognition for Huang.[10] She also starred in the television adaptation of Louis Cha's novel Sword Stained with Royal Blood.[11] In 2008, Huang released her first solo album, titled Huang Shengyi.[12] In 2009, Huang became the CEO of China Juli Group's Entertainment Media Co., Ltd, drawing a six-figure salary annually.[13] The same year, she appeared in a minor role in the Hollywood science fiction film Race to Witch Mountain.[14]

In 2011, Huang starred alongside Jet Li and Raymond Lam in The Sorcerer and the White Snake where she played the White Snake Demon.[citation needed] She then starred in The Locked Door (2012), a film which tells about the life story of a girl from noble family, who was raped at young age.[15] The film won the Best Feature at the Monaco Charity Film Festival.[16] In 2013, Huang starred in the romance drama Marriage Rules.[17] This is the first production created by Huang's own studio, and it was a commercial and ratings success.[18] In 2014, Huang starred alongside Donnie Yen in the action comedy film Iceman, which won her the Best Actress award at the Huading Awards for her performance.[19] In 2015, Huang was cast in the war epic film Air Strike.[20]
