==Biography==
===Early career===
Born to a financially challenged family in [[Sindian City]], [[Taipei County]], the young Shu Qi moved to [[Hong Kong]] at the age of 17 where she became a model for nude girls magazines and [[softcore]] movie [[Short subject|shorts]]. She eventually came under the management of Hong Kong producer [[Manfred Wong]], who signed her on to several softcore Hong Kong films such as ''Sex & Zen II''.
===Career===
She starred in [[Derek Yee]]'s 1996 film, ''[[Viva Erotica]]'', which was about the [[Sex in film|erotic film]] industry in Hong Kong, opposite the late [[Leslie Cheung]] and [[Karen Mok|Karen Morris]]. 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 (film)|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 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 Chinese actress [[Zhang Ziyi]].
In 2002, she appeared in the Hollywood film ''[[The Transporter]]'' and the Asian action film ''[[So Close]]''. In 2004, she played the main role in the Hong Kong horror film ''[[The Eye 2]]''.
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]]''.
In 2008 she was member of the jury of the [[Berlinale]], the Berlin International Film Festival.
