Career at TVB
After completing one year in the University of Southern California majoring in Architecture (in the U.S.) and with Music as the minor, Raymond decided to enter the entertainment circle through enrolling in TVB's acting class. He graduated from the 13th TVB Acting Class, along withTavia Yeung and was offered a contract from TVB. At first, Raymond was not accepted by his colleagues at TVB due to his family background. He was often criticized as a rich boy who was not serious about acting and was dubbed "Siu Ye" (meaning young master ). Gradually, people began to realize his passion for acting and accept Raymond as a serious actor. Although it was rumored that he was given big roles since he had connections with TVB executives, Raymond actually played small, non-speaking roles when he first started acting. In 2001, Raymond was chosen as one of the leads in "A Taste of Love," co-starring with Miriam Yeung. His outstanding performance was recognized by many viewers.[citation needed] Later on, he starred in "A Step Into the Past" and "La Femme Desperado" which caused his popularity to rise. He received many awards for his performance in "La Femme Desperado," where he acted as a young man who falls in love with an older woman. This series is also one of TVB's top-rated series.
In 2007, Raymond filmed "Heart of Greed," a highly-rated series and grand production of TVB, in which he acted as "Alfred Ching Leung." Another recent breakthrough for Raymond was his role in "Moonlight Resonance", where he starred as "Goon Ga Jai". Raymond won the "Favourite Male Character" award at the TVB 41st Anniversary show for his role in Moonlight Resonance. To date, Raymond has continued to film for TVB and is considered one of TVB's most popular actors or "Siu Sang's"- along with Bosco Wong, Kenneth Ma, and Ron Ng. He later was rumored going out with his two time co-star Linda Chung from Heart Of Greed and Moonlight Resonance.
[edit]Singing Career
Raymond signed with EEG Record Company in 2007. Although Raymond has always showed interest and ability in singing (from his many TVB theme/subtheme songs), his TVB schedule has always conflicted with recording an album. However, TVB arranged for him to start recording his first album in the summer of 2007. His debut album Searching For You In Loving Memories was released on November 23, 2007. His debut album came in three covers, all with CD+DVD (10 all-new tracks and 2 music videos). More than 20,000 copies of the album were sold and additional copies had to be reprinted. Three weeks after the release of the album, Raymond received the IFPI Gold Disc. Some of the major awards Raymond received are the Jade Solid Gold's Best Male Newcomer Gold Award (he expresses that he desired to win this award since a singer can only be a newcomer once) and an IFPI award for top album sales among the Newcomer category.
On September 10, 2008, he released his second album named Your Love featuring "愛不疚" (Love With No Regrets) from Moonlight Resonance. There are two covers for this album, one featuring Raymond with a cat and another with a clock. In this album, Raymond sang a duet with Vincy Chan called "明天以後" (After Tomorrow) in two versions(one in Cantonese and the other in Mandarin). In October 10, 2008, a month after the release of the album, Raymond received the IFPI Platinum Disc award for reaching an album sales of more than 30,000 copies. The sales exceeded that of his first album and additional copies had to be reprinted. A 2nd edition with DVD of 3 music videos was released in September 24, 2008 due to the success; the original versions were no longer printed.
Aside from releasing his albums, Raymond has previously sang many TVB themesongs and subtheme songs. Some of his notable songs include "記得忘記" (Eternal Happiness), "忘記傷害" (Survivors' Law), "心呼吸" (The Last Breakthrough), "愛在記憶中找你" (The Drive of Life), "浮生若水" (The Master of Tai Chi) and "愛不疚" (Moonlight Resonance).
According to Raymond's good friend Ron Ng, Raymond will be focusing on his singing career in 2009. Therefore, as of now, Raymond is only scheduled to film one TVB series in 2009, so he can have more time to achieve his goals in music. It is said that Raymond's third album will be released on March 2009.
