Lin Lihui

To ignite her star and achieve popularity in the film industry, Shu Qi went through filming in erotic films. But as soon as the actress received the first recognition and award for her work in a category "A" film, she flatly refused to be naked in front of cameras. Shu Qi gained fame with the blockbusters "Magnificent" and "The Carrier", where she starred in a brilliant company with Jackie Chan and Jason Statham.

The real name of the actress is Lin Lihui. She was born in the spring in the provincial capital of Taiwan, Taipei. An Asian-looking girl who later became famous under the stage name Shu Qi has Taiwanese citizenship, but her nationality is a blank spot in her biography. As you know, the island is multinational; it is inhabited by the Chinese, Mongols, Han, Gaoshan. To which of the listed ethnic groups Lihuei is related is a mystery.

Shu Qi grew up in a family where oppressive poverty reigned, so the childhood of the future movie star cannot be called happy and carefree. But the beggarly life and the desire to break out of it became an excellent incentive to use all the chances that life gave.

First of all, Lin took advantage of what fate has generously endowed her with - charming appearance. The young 17-year-old beauty went to Hong Kong at the first opportunity, rightly believing that she would be able to make a career as a fashion model there. Even the "unfashionable" height of 1.68 m and a weight of 55 kg did not interfere. A graceful figure, sex appeal and an alluring smile made her way into the cinema for the girl.

Shu Qi threw off her complexes and agreed to shoot nude, posing for photographers of erotic publications. The pictures were a huge success and brought the model the first, albeit scandalous, glory. In the wake of popularity, she presented fans with a whole book with candid photos in the nude genre and starred in erotic videos, showing her relaxedness in front of the cameras.

The girl, easily naked in front of the video camera, came to the attention of Hong Kong producer Manfred Wong. Shu Qi accepted the invitation to star in an adult movie, regarding it as an elevator that would certainly take her upstairs. So the beginning of Shu Qi's career is closely connected with filming in porn films. The film erotica "Sex and Zen - 2" is a vivid example of films in which the actress appeared in her youth.

Demonstrating her naked body, Shu Qi did not forget about acting, because the ultimate goal was not to make money, but to break into serious cinema. The girl achieved her goal: Derek I, a producer and director, drew attention to her. But he could not abandon the provocative image created by Shu Qi, having removed the actress in the ironic film "Viva Erotica". This is a painting poking fun at Hong Kong's erotic film industry.

The Taiwanese star made every effort to make the tape the last, where she had a chance to demonstrate porn talent and get naked. The skill of the actress was noticed: in 1997, Shu Qi became a laureate of the prestigious Hong Kong Film Awards. The film was shown in Europe as well: "Viva Erotica" took part in the competition program of the Berlinale. And even if the film did not receive the "Golden Bear", it opened the doors to the world of cinema for Shu Qi.

The actress was bombarded with proposals, of which she carefully selected only those where she did not need to be naked. The projects in which Shu now starred were distinguished by a high level of production and direction.

In 1999, viewers saw Shu Qi in the action comedy "Magnificent," in which she starred with Jackie Chan. The box office from the film only in Hong Kong cinemas reached $ 40.5 million. In the same 1999, the film Island Stories was released, which the audience and film critics also warmly received. The actress had every chance to find herself at the peak of the movie olympus, if she had not refused to work in the adventure fantasy melodrama Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Director Ang Lee, who became famous after the release of the hit movie Brokeback Mountain, invited Shu Qi to play Jen. The actress agreed, but after a month and a half she interrupted filming because, as her manager Manfred Wong convinced her, a better offer: work in the Japanese commercial for Coca-Cola. The director replaced Qi with a young colleague, Zhang Ziyi. The project was a resounding success, and Ziyi woke up famous. Shu Qi, in her hearts, fired the manager and later relied more on her instincts.

In the new century, the artist's filmography was enriched with the melodrama "Millennium Mambo", where she got the main role. The youth tape is the first project of director Hoi Xiaoxian, which hit the American release. The picture was shown at the 54th competition program in Cannes.

And in 2002, a new round of popularity happened in the star's career: Shu Qi starred in the films "Battle Angels Back in Business" and "Carrier". The latest project, in which Jason Statham shone, has become a cult. The actress shared the lead role with the Hollywood star, playing a heroine named Lai Kwai, the girlfriend of Stateham's character.

In 2004, Shu Qi appeared in the title role in the horror film Eye-2, revealing a new facet of acting talent. 5 years later, the artist was seen in the melodrama "New York, I love you." Hollywood stars Andy Garcia, Natalie Portman, Orlando Bloom, Ethan Hawke, Bradley Cooper and many others starred in 11 short stories of the movie almanac. Shu Qi appeared in the company of Ugur Yudgel and Burt Young in the 9th novel.

The most successful of the recent high-profile projects in which the actress worked were the sequels to the action films Fist of Fury and Armor of God, as well as the melodrama Best Times, for her role in which Qi won an award at the Taiwan Film Festival. In 2008, the celebrity was honored and introduced to the jury of the Berlinale, and in 2009 she entered the jury of the Cannes Film Festival.

In 2015, the premiere of the Taiwanese historical drama "Assassin", in which the main character was played by Shu Qi, took place. And in 2018, the artist delighted her fans by appearing in the dramedy "The Island" also in a key role.

Working in the cinema takes away from the actress, who celebrated her 40th birthday in 2017, all the time. But Shu Qi does not forget about his personal life. On the set of the film City of Glass, she met her Chinese counterpart Leon Lai. But the romance did not last long and was not crowned with marriage.

Relationships with Stephen Fang, vocalist, director, screenwriter and actor, have been more successful. The couple met on the set of the Zero Tai Tzu project and never parted. In 2016, the artists became husband and wife, but the children are not yet known.

Shu Qi posts fresh photos on his Instagram account, delighting subscribers with news and announcements of new paintings. The actress adores cats: there are plenty of photos and videos with furry pets on the page, but there are no pictures in a swimsuit.

In 2019, the movie star delighted fans with her appearance in the fantastic action-melodrama "Shanghai Fortress".
