Career

In 2006, Chen participated in a beauty pageant and emerged as the champion.[1] Shortly after, she signed to Popstar Media, a local agency, and made appearances in commercials and magazines and played small roles in television series. In 2007, she released her debut single "A Moment" (瞬间) and played a supporting role in the Mediacorp drama series Dear, Dear Son-In-Law in the same year.[2]

Chen made her career breakthrough in 2009 where she starred as the female lead in the Chinese series Guangdong Gentleman, produced and directed by Zhao Benshan, who is one of China's most preeminent actor and director.[3] Zhao had spotted Chen in a fundraising event hosted by CCTV in 2008 and decided to cast Chen in his production. In February 2010, Chen became Zhao's 49th and only foreign protégé.[4][5][6] The same year, Chen had a prominent role in the drama series The Illusionist and thereafter began her long-running collaboration with Wawa Pictures, where she appeared in their numerous productions, including Crescendo (2015), The Queen (2016), After The Stars (2019), CTRL (2021), Genie in a Cup (2022) and Oppa, Saranghae! (2023).

Chen has also starred in Jack Neo's film The Diam Diam Era (2020) and its sequel The Diam Diam Era Two (2021). She was once managed by Neo's J Team Productions.[7][8][9]
