Shu Qi is the stage name of a Taiwanese actress born Lin Li-hui. Her stage name is occasionally romanized as Hsu Chi (Wade-Giles) or Shu Kei (Cantonese). Her name is sometimes seen in the Western order (Qi Shu).
Born to a poor family
in Taiwan, the young Shu Qi moved to Hong Kong at the age of 17 where she became
a model for adult magazines & soft-core movie shorts. She eventually came
under the management of Hong Kong producer Manfred Wong, who signed her on to
several soft porn Hong Kong films such as Sex & Zen II.
Mainstream films
She
starred in Derek Yee's 1996 film, Viva Erotica, which ironically was about the
erotic film industry in Hong Kong, opposite the late Leslie Cheung & Karen
Mok. At the Hong Kong Film Awards, she received the Best Supporting Actress award
for the film. Since then, she has appeared in mainstream Hong Kong films such
as Gorgeous (1998) opposite Jackie Chan, Stanley Kwan's The Island Tales (1999)
& Hou Hsiao-Hsien's critically acclaimed Millennium Mambo (2000).
In 1999, Ang Lee approached Shu Qi for the role of Jen in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Six weeks into filming, her manager Manfred Wong, not foreseeing the film's massive international success, pulled her out to do a soft drink commercial in Japan, & the part went instead to Zhang Ziyi.
In 2002, she appeared in the Hollywood film The Transporter (directed by Louis Leterrier & Corey Yuen) & the Asian action flick So Close (choreographed by Corey Yuen & starring Vicki Zhao & Karen Mok). In 2004, she had a role in the Hong Kong horror film The Eye 2. She has done some model work, in some ways, but is mainly a actress.
Recent work
In 2005 she won the Best Actress Award at the
2005 Golden Horse Awards for her three roles in Hou Hsiao-Hsien's Three Times.
