Vic Chou (Chinese: 周渝民; pinyin: Zhōu Yúmín) is

a Taiwanese actor and singer.  He is a member of the
[2]

Taiwanese boy band F4.

Career
F4
Chou rose to fame for his role as Hua Ze Lei in the highly
popular Taiwan television series Meteor Garden.  At the [3]

conclusion of the series, Chou along with the other cast

members of Meteor Garden; Jerry Yan, Vanness Wu and Ken
Chu continued to perform together and released three studio
albums as the quartet boy band F4. [4]

Music career
Chou was the first F4 member to release his own album Make
a Wish in January 2002.  This was followed by Remember, I
[5]

Love You which was released in January 2004. [6]

His third album, I'm Not F4 was released in October 2007 and

topped Taiwan's major charts for 3 weeks. [7]

Acting career
Aside from Meteor Garden, Chou has appeared in Taiwanese
series such as Poor Prince and Love Storm,  considered to be [8][9]

very "typical" idol dramas. However, with the 2004 television

series Mars, Zhou took on a more complex role as a set of
twins who have mental illnesses.  Zhou considers a turning
[10]

point in his career. In many interviews, Zhou has pinpointed

this as the moment where his interest in acting was truly
piqued. Since then, he has taken on increasingly multi-facted
roles, such as an ambitious but lonely businessman in Silence,
  a cranky perfectionist in Sweet Relationship,  and an
[11] [12]

awkward but passionate novelist in Wish to See You Again. [13]

In 2008, Chou embarked on his first film, Linger alongside Li

Bingbing. [14]

In 2009, he took a departure from Taiwanese idol dramas and

starred in the police drama Black & White. Zhou takes on the
challenging role of an emotionally complex policeman with a
past that is thrown into a dangerous web of corruption.  Chou [15]

was nominated for Best Actor at the 44th Golden Bell

Awards for his performance in Black & White. [16]

In 2010, Chou won "Most Popular Taiwanese Actor" at

the Seoul International Drama Awards. The same year, he
starred in the romance film Love You 10,000 Years.  The film [17]

was the 5th best-selling Chinese film in Taiwan for 2010, and
won "Most Popular with the Audience" at the 6th Osaka Asian
Film Festival.
In 2012, Chou starred alongside Ella Chen in the romance
comedy film New Perfect Two. [18]

In 2013, Chou won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actor for

his performance in Home.  He went on to star in sequel
[19][20]

films Don't Go Breaking My Heart 2,  Go Lala Go 2, [21]

 and Storm (sequel of Z Storm);  as well as suspense

[22] [23]

film Detective Gui and comedy film Two Wrongs Make A

Right. [24]

Chou returned to the small screen after five years in 2018,

starring in two period dramas Beauties in the Closet and The
Flame's Daughter.  He is set to star in the historical
[25][26]

drama Poetry of the Song Dynasty alongside Liu Tao,

portraying Zhao Heng. [27]
