Shu Qi has developed smoothly in the film industry. In 2005, she won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for Best Actress for the movie "The Best of Time".
Last year, she was invited to serve as a judge for the main competition section of the 80th Venice Film Festival.

In June this year, Shu Qi was announced by the American Film Academy as a new member of the Academy and qualified as an Oscar judge. She is full of limelight!
She had previously suffered from skin allergies and her production had been reduced. In recent years, she has been active in filming again.

Earlier, Hou's royal art director Huang Wenying mentioned that Chang Chen and Shu Qi "have their own missions." The outside world once speculated that they might help Director Hou complete the work, but this is not the case.
However, it is said that Shu Qi has indeed taken the path of directing and will direct a new film. The male and female protagonists have been finalized - Qiu Ze, who won the Best Actor at the Taipei Film Festival for his movie "When Men Fall in Love", and Taiwanese female singer 9m88.

Shu Qi has been staying in Taiwan recently to prepare for the new film. Earlier, when the typhoon hit Taiwan, she shared a photo of working hard in front of the computer. The movie
is expected to start shooting this month. It is her first time directing and she is inevitably nervous. Recently, she has been wearing facial masks and listening to music to relax.
However, Shu Qi's husband Feng Delun is quite experienced in the director's position. He has already successfully directed works such as "Tai Chi" and "Rogue Alliance". I believe he will also give his wife Shu Qi a lot of good advice.
