Sing girls
Encyclopedia
"Sing girls" is a nickname for actresses who starred alongside Stephen Chow
, often as the main character's romantic interest. Many are young, new actresses who go on to receive considerable media attention after appearing in one of Chow's films, and their success is often attributed to the attention brought to them by Chow—Zhang Yuqi
, for example, has been referred to as Chow's "protégée" after appearing in the 2007 film CJ7
. The Chinese word 星 xīng refers both to Chow's nickname 星爷 (Sing Yeh, "Grandmaster Sing") and to 明星, the word for a star or celebrity
.
Chow has not always chosen newcomer actresses to co-star with him; for example, Vicki Zhao

, and Gong Li
was already famous as an "Yimou girl" (谋女郎) for her frequent collaboration with director Zhang Yimou

. Eva Huang and Kitty Zhang both gained considerable attention from media and netizens after appearing in Kung Fu Hustle
and CJ7
, respectively, even though their roles were relatively small (Huang's role had no lines at all).
