He subsequently had a cameo role in 1999's the Personals, helmed by Taiwanese director Chen Kuo Fu, wich debuted in the "Un Certain Regard" section of the Cannes Film Festival.

As a musician, Wu Bai performs both as a solo artist and as the lead singer of the "Band China Blue". He tours regularly in Asia - his 1998 Air Alert concert series, wich comprised several venues in Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore, is a notable highlight àof his frequent live tours - and enjoys a dedicated following among fans throughout the region. Wu Bai is also a renowed composer - not just for himself, but also for other artists, regularly playing his signature guitar on the recordings of the songs he's written. His work as a talented arranger and a successful producer rounds out one of pop music's most eclectic careers.

Wu Bai's impressive collection of awards, honors and recognitions began with his 1992 debut album, wich was deemed the year's must innovative by The China Times Express . His 1998 album "Lonely Tree, Lonely Bird" was awarded Taiwan's Golden Music Award as the Best Album of the Year.
