He started working in music industry at age of 16 after having poor study results in Canada.He came back to his birth homeland,Hong Kong.
Due to his family background,many recording companies were running after his signature to be their singer.
With limited understanding i have,he had to work at early age of 16 because his father,Patrick Tse had become bankrupt.
He finally released his first album,'My Attitude' in 1997 and his first album eventually got Hong Kong IFPI No. 3 best selling records.Subsequency,his two tracks from this album became top of the chart.
He first acted his first HK movie,Young And Dangerous The Prequel in 1998
With this movie stint,he eventually won The Best Newcomer Award.
Year by year,he continued to act.
The last movie he acted is The New Police Story(2004).
As far as i know,he suffered a lot of negative comments and responses by public due to his family background(some people in public think he had easy ticket to music industry).
I think it was the first mini concert where he showed his weak lip-sync technique.At this point,a lot of people in the crowds there threw things at him.
Since then,he vowed to sing for better.His best friend,Eason Chan consoled him and encouraged him to sing better in future.
So far,some recording companies wanted his sister,Jennifer Tse Ting Ting.
With his much suffering,nic tse objected.His father also support him for not letting Ting Ting into music/movie industry.
But lately in this year,he let Ting Ting dominate the newspapers headlines.
He told media that he would let her understand the process of this life.
In my opinion,he has mellowed a lot.
In his past,he hit a lot of headlines in all medias(magazines,newspapers and etc) with his accident and love lifestyles(Faye Wong&him and Cecilia Cheung% him)
I think his ferrari that was a gift given by EEG(recording company) chairman was crashed into the tree.His former chauffeur told him to cover it up as Nic Tse called him.It lead so much trouble that it landed him into 2 week jail probation.
Court passed the sentence that he would have to do 120hours community services and the judge hoped that with 2 weeks jail probation would be his wakeup call.
After that,he surrendered his car keys to his parents.
He vowed that he would do things in the right way.
He held 2 major concerts(Viva live[asianwide event] and Reborn Live[at bejing] and few mini concerts.He cried in Metro Broadcast concert because he felt sorry for breaking the law(accident event).
After court incident,his singing style changed overnight starting with Reborn album.
i was surprised.
I heard his Reborn live dvd album.I was shocked and delighted that his singing technique had improved a lot!
With his latest two albums,Listen Up and Huang after Reborn Live concert,his singing are still showing improvements!
*Thumbs up*
Extraction from his Autobiography(my choices ^_^)
"People ask me that being born in a star's family do I feel different? and the answer is no, ever since I was young I've never felt different at all, because when the camera lights shine on me they would say, "Ting Fung, smile" and I would smile. When my parents took me to a studio to star in a commercials I would go and act in the commercials. I didn't feel any pressure at all."
"At La Sha, the most exciting and fun thing that happened was not at school but on the school bus. I remember that everyday I followed the same routine of going onto the school bus after school so one day after school, I decided not get on the school bus and walked around the street by myself. Until around seven I felt really tired but I didn't know the way home so I walked to my sisters international school. I don't know why I did this, I got onto my sisters school bus and went home. When I got home of course I got punished by my parents, my mum hit me really hard and told me to stand outside for two hours. But I don't regret doing this, because I was only 6 or 7 and I could cross the road and hang out on the street all by myself. The excitement was indescribable"
"I went to a public school and attended year 2, after 2 years I changed schools. Although it was only two years something unforgettable had happened. I remember being punished by my teacher for getting into a fight with another student and it was the first time I had ever fought with anyone.
It all started with they bullied my sister, so to protect her we got into an argument and then we started fighting. Because I had never fought with anyone before I didn't know how much strength to use and he ended up with a bloody nose and a tooth missing. Apart from being punished I was also sent to the deputy principal's office."
"In year 4 I moved to a private school, it was a traditional English school. Everyday I had to wear ties and school uniform, the reason why my mum sent me to this school was because she wanted me to grow up as a real gentleman, but she doesn't know that by doing this it put a lot of pressure on me. Traditional English was every different from the normal verbal English I was use to, even the subjects were really different. Due to the loads of homework given everyday and because I wasn't use to it I couldn't keep up with the schools expectations and found school really hard. From year 4 to 9 I attended this traditional English school, a total of six years. At first I didn't like school at all until in year 6 I started boarding at the school. Afterwards I fell in love with this kind of life"
""A life's length is not important, the most important thing is that we live life to it's fullest" - Nicholas Tse"
"A lot of people think when I signed my contract with Fitto it was because of our family's relationship in the past, but the truth is not as it seems. At that time different companies had better offers than Fitto, but in the end I chose Fitto because our family owed him."
"At the beginning when I had just entered the entertainment circle I felt a lot of pressure because many people had very high hopes of me. I was afraid to disappoint them so I did everything the best as I could. Before every performance I would train for 2 hours while others only practiced 1, I hoped to perform better than others. But this was just little things, because I am Nicholas Tse everyone would exaggerate. A lot of the times even though I was not part of an incident the media would say I was, I felt really innocent. From 27 Dec 1996 till now I have never regretted my choice of this path and I am willing to continue walking it because I will find other roads in the future. Although I do not know what the result will be, I have found my aim and I will never let it go. My aim is to make Tse Ting Fung the one and only, I hope I can be like Jacky Chan, not only will the people of Hong Kong know me but the whole world. I will treasure all my opportunity and not give up."
"For a very long time I've had to withstand a lot of pressure from the public, the outsiders, from myself, but mainly from my company and from the media. When facing the media I know that sometimes I do not manage thing very well, I felt like an animal trapped in a cage. Sometimes the media make things up out of nothing, like the car accident I was supposedly involved in, I didn't even have a driver's licence, how can I have a car crash?! I am not exaggerating, during these past two years the media has spread rumours about my love life, they said I had about a total of sixteen girlfriends, the public can be easily affected by the media and believe that it's true, maybe it's necessary for rumours to spread saying that I have two hundred girlfriends before they'll realise that it was all fake. They said that I liked Li Xin Jie that was why I was looking at her, but I wasn't even looking at her."
"Everyone seems to think that I come from a wealthy family, but I think everyone would know by now that this is not the case. Actually I never dared to waste money, like when I recently bought my guitar I had to sell all my watches to get the money. If people still think that I'm wealthy, i will leave it at that, because sooner or later they will realize that it is not the truth. Even though I know that making money is really hard, I still want to earn this money myself honestly."
"I am someone who thinks that friendship is really important, when I was acting in "Aiming High" I became friends with a lot of people who were also acting in this series. I think that there are no rankings when it comes to friendship. Lau Hoi Wai, Hung Tin Ming, Cheung San Yut are really nice people. Sometimes after we finished filming at around four or five in the morning we would have supper together. We would chat and laugh while we were eating, and forget all about the time."
"But the real reason I don't like to go to that shcool is because I find it's very different than I expected and I had a hard time copping with it. It was a public shcool, had students of about 3 to 4 thousand. They are all sort of bad students, all had dyed their hair and wearing weird clothes to school, some even had a nose ring! That school from top to bottom is a rubbish school. The teachers are even more pathetic! Students can chuck stuff at them and they won't even do a thing! How can I learn in a school like that? I was thinking to go into Unit after high school but the enviroment there is just too bad."
"The life in Japan, you can definitely use the words "Hard and exhausting" to describe. Most people wonder why it will be hard in an advance country like Japan, the reason is easy, one word...money. I think most people will not believe, I don't have much money with me when I have gone to Japan. A lot of people believe that I was born in a pop star family and I can have whatever I desire but that's not true!"
"Although Japan has a lot of entertaining stuff, to a poor guy like me it's just too expensive. I won't even ride a taxi, how can I buy clothes and tickets to the movies. In Japan my greatest happiness is to combine work and music. I go to bars to perform, first it can train me to do live performance, and second I've nothing to do anyway, might as well get a job. There was once that after I finished my performance it was alreay 1 a.m. The Tokyo train station closes at 12. I've only got a couple thousand yans, it's not enought to get me home. So I stayed at a very old motel for the night. I'll never forget the night's experience."
"Lastly I think I'll talk a bit about my thoughts towards love and relationships, I think everyone will like to know right? To love I've always think to let it occur naturally, I'll never let love become the number on in my life. I'm a traditional guy, I believe in "man goes out, women stays in." All I'll ask from my other half is to be herself. I don't need the most beautiful girl on earth to be my bride. She'll just has to be skillful in her part of our live. So I care more about inner beauty, outer beauty is second"
"I don't understand why I have so many rumor. Being in the entertainment industry, I feel that rumor is the most wasteful thing. It makes me feel really hurt. Everyone is hurt once in a while, but being in the industry most hurtful is not having others understaing. Sometimes I want to know it is worth to work so hard. Espcially when I am acting in a movie. Until the last half a year, I started to relax and let go of the rumor. Even thought I say the time in Canada gave me time to think and refresh. Those days were really peaceful. I wrote down a song "Ending Century of Hurtful Voice", I spend two months writing this song. During this period of time, I can do anything I want and think what I want. I can tell everyone that my rumor girlfriend and I already married. When we were in high in Florida, we adopted a baby. Who and me had a baby in Pakistan..... So what, enough!"
"Sometime say I have this with whom and I have a cruse on whom. Forget! Love is really hurst for me beacause it made me feel I have no freedon. When a person in the industry goes out, they will be follow. Even if we don't mind, the reporters will quesitons our faimly. Dating will have no meaning. In this way, even if I like like someone, I wouldn't dare to ask them out. Even if she were outside the industry, I wouldn't dare to confess. Loving someone mean to take care of each other. Sometime I feel I can't even take care of myself, so I have no right to love anyone."
