Myolie Wu (Traditional Chinese: 胡杏兒, Simplified Chinese: 胡杏儿) is a Hong Kong actress for the popular TVB television station. Myolie entered the Miss Hong Kong pageant in 1999 and won second-runner up of that year. That was her first step into the entertainment field. She joined TVB and started out as minor characters in a few of her first TV dramas, but her talent was recognized after starring in Golden Faith as the mentally challenged little sister of Gallen Lo. That had became her most breakthrough role and for that year, Myolie was the first young actress to receive the Most Improved Artist Award from TVB Anniversary. She has been promoted ever since leading in almost all of her series starring opposite many popular veterans and young stars. Myolie is now one of the most promising young actress at TVB gaining many new fans by her acting charm and charismatic screen presence.
In 2006, Myolie has taken another step in her career to sing the theme song for her upcoming series War and Destiny. She was praised by the producer Mark Lui and singer Justin Lo for her ability to control her voice. TVB is now in the process of planning to help her release a personal album for herself. Back in 2001, when she was on the set of "Family Man", one of the directors predicted that she will never gain popularity. He told her, "No matter how I look at you, you will only be a fourth-tier actress! For people like you, if you can't come out on top from the start, you don't stand a chance to compete. It will be difficult for you to succeed!". However, as the years passed, Myolie has proven the director to be wrong and has risen to the top to become one of the "new generation" of TVB fa dans. At the "Next Magazine TV Artists Awards 2006", she was placed 7th respectively out of the 10 most popular TV artists voted by the audience. Her future goal is to get the "Best Actress Award".
