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 and 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. 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 and
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) and
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, and the part went instead to
Zhang Ziyi. In 2002,
she appeared in
the Hollywood film The Transporter (directed by
Louis Leterrier and
Corey Yuen) and the Asian action flick So Close (choreographed by Corey Yuen and starring Vicki Zhao and
Karen Mok). In 2004,
She had a role in the
Hong Kong horror film The
Eye 2.
