[Tung Fong Daily] Jacky enjoyed the company of his family during the festive season & cleverly used his daughters' (chinese) names in his chinese new year greetings. He wishes all pretty female readers '[jing] chun chang zhu' (eternal youth) & all handsome male readers 'wei jin zhong [hua]' (may your name be kown by all). Jacky had earlier done the last performance of "Snow.Wolf.Lake" at Beijing Stadium. Now he can finally take a rest & enjoy the festive season with his family. He said: "I was travelling alot because of Snow.Wolf.Lake last year, so much so that I spent less time with my family. After finishing the last performance, I was in such a dilemma. I couldn't bear to leave the group of performers, but was very happy to finally have a chance to take a break & spend the festive season with my family." After the festive season, Jacky will start work on his new album. As he hasn't released any new album in more than 1 year, Jacky would want to work hard on doing a good album for his fans.

Personalized Hong Kong Disneyland New Year Greeting Cards Now Available Online
Bill Ernest, newly appointed Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, in his first official engagement joined Mickey Mouse and friends to wish Canto-popstar and park spokesperson, Jacky Cheung “Kung Hei Fat Choy” – or Happy New Year.
Jacky visited the park to preview Hong Kong Disneyland’s first Chinese New Year celebration, which officially kicks off on January 29 and runs until February 12, 2006. A daily performance featuring a vibrant swirl of dragons, lions, dancers and musicians in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle will delight and entertain guests, while specially designed merchandise and sumptuous Chinese menus will be available throughout the park and two hotels.
Hong Kong Disneyland has also launched a personalized online Chinese New Year greeting card with a magical Disney touch, which is now available at http://www.hongkongdisneyland.com/. The launch comes hot on the heels of the Hong Kong Disneyland Christmas D-Card that sent almost 200,000 holiday wishes around the world.
Visitors to www.hongkongdisenyland.com can select their own traditional Fai Chun – or greeting – that is featured alongside Mickey Mouse and Pluto in their festive gear. Around them, leaves from a nearby peach blossom tree gently fall against the spectacular backdrop of the park’s centerpiece, Sleeping Beauty Castle. A space for a message adds a personalized touch to create a truly magical Chinese New Year greeting. Every visitor who sends a Hong Kong Disneyland D-card to friends and family can also download a special Fai Chun, which can be printed out and displayed around the home.

Hong Kong Artistes' Income Chart for 2005: Return of the "4 Heavenly Kings"
Return of the "4 Heavenly Kings"
The trend is now about oldies. The Hong Kong Artistes' Income Chart for 2005 also shows many 'old' names. Despite being under the attack of the new age "Kings" & "Queens", the "4 Heavenly Kings" of the previous decade of the 1990s are still able to make a turnaround. Besides Andy Lau, who is the regular candidate in the top 3 positions, the other 3 Heavenly Kings, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok & Leon Lai, whose presence have faded in recent years, have also worked their charms & made much money in 2005. The "4 Heavenly Kings" legend reappears.
The "4 Heavenly Kings" Resume Their Thrones
During the previous decade of the 1990s, Hong Kong's greatest entertainment scene achievement was to present the "4 Heavenly Kings", thus becoming very active . The "4 Heavenly Kings" dominated the singing, filming & TV scenes, & they also became the top candidates of the Hong Kong Artistes' Income Charts during those years. However, as time passed, only Andy was still very active, the other 3 Heavenly Kings had slowed down, while the new age "Kings" & "Queens" emerged. The "4 Heavenly Kings" seemed to become "a historic phrase".
Jacky Cheung
The Legend Continues: Jacky Cheung
Ever since his elder daughter was born, Jacky entered a semi-retired state, only releasing 1 album per year & also seldom participated in commercial activities. This was until his younger daughter was born in 2005, only then did Jacky come back to "earn some money for milk powder". Besides acting in Peter Chan's movie "Perhaps Love", Jacky also brought back the musical legend in 1997 "Snow.Wolf.Lake". It was on world tour for 50 performances. This event alone brought in almost 50 million income for Jacky. It also brought his popularity back up. He had also taken on the role of ambassador for Disneyland Hong Kong at a "friendship price" of 1 million. These few sources of income allowed Jacky to once again be a candidate in the income chart & let him have the 6th position.

WHO among the Hong Kong stars raked in the biggest bucks over the past 12 months?
According to the website sina.com, Jackie Chan is firmly in the top spot with earnings reportedly hitting a staggering HK$232mil (about RM113mil). Even the dud Everlasting Regret, which he produced and is said to have lost HK$10mil (RM4.9mil) in the process, did little to hurt his wallet.
Trailing in a distant second is Andy Lau with HK$106mil (RM49mil). Given Lau’s legendary diligence, it came as no surprise that the singer-actor should be among the highest earners. Last year, he netted HK$64mil (RM31mil) from seven commercials, HK$11mil (RM5mil) from his 14-show concerts and HK$31mil (RM15mil) from his three movies.
Joey Yung and Jackie Chan at a recent golf club opening in Hong Kong. They are two of Hong Kong’s highest-earning entertainers of 2005.Kelly Chen is third with HK$75mil (RM36mil), thus becoming the Chinese territory’s top-grossing female artiste of 2005. Much of her time last year was spent in China promoting her album and going on performing tours. She collected HK$3mil (RM1.4mil) in album bonuses and HK$18mil (RM8.8mil) from concerts. Her performances in China further boosted her earnings by HK$24mil (RM11.8mil) while another HK$30mil (RM14mil) came from commercials.
The biggest surprise on the list has to be Paula Tsui Siu Fung, who is placed seventh with HK$36mil (RM17mil). The 59-year-old veteran songbird came out of retirement to hold 23 shows in Hong Kong, gaining HK$1mil (RM490,000) per show. She also released an album of her hit songs that added to her wealth.
Rounding off the top 10 list are Joey Yung (HK$60mil/RM29mil), Twins (HK$53mil/RM26mil), Cecilia Cheung (HK$51mil/RM25mil), Aaron Kwok (HK$30mil/RM14mil), Leon Lai (HK$23mil/RM11mil) and Jacky Cheung (HK$20mil/RM9mil).

While filming "Perhaps Love", he had discussed with director Peter Chan, to hand it over to him to make it a musical & he will make some changes, for example, add some songs. However, Jacky said that the earliest he can do another musical is maybe around 2007 or 2008. Jacky still loves performing in musicals.

More than a musical
South China Morning Post
Sunday January 1 2006
By Lau Kit-wai
Moviegoers who enjoyed the musical Perhaps Love will find the soundtrack a full-bodied romantic listening experience, thanks to the touching performances by Canto-pop king Jacky Cheung Hok-yau and mainland actress Zhou Sun.
The tracks were written by local composers Peter Kam Pui-tat and Leon Ko, with the exception of ballad Wai Mian De Shi Jie by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Chi Chin.
Cheung's strong vocals are a valuable asset to both the film and soundtrack. Apart from his outstanding interpretation of title song Perhaps Love, Cheung's duet with South Korean actor Ji Jin-hee in the operatic Fate and his solo performance in the heartbreaking You Do Love Me lend the story a larger-than-life quality.
Zhou may lack the vocal range of a diva, but her soft, heartfelt singing fills the music with rich emotions.
The CD package includes English translations of the Chinese lyrics for international audiences and a set of beautiful postcards for movie buffs.
