As a cinema devotee with a penchant for Asian films and a deep appreciation for the diverse talents gracing the silver screen, I can hardly contain my excitement over Taiwan-born actress Shu Qi’s directorial debut, “Girl.” With such an illustrious career that includes roles in masterpieces by Hou Hsiao-hsien and Feng Xiaogang, as well as international projects like “The Transporter” and “New York, I Love You,” it’s no wonder she’s been recognized with numerous accolades and invitations to prestigious film festivals.
Taiwan-born actor Shu Qi has completed production of her feature film directing debut, “Girl.”
Despite the secrecy surrounding the plot and characters of the upcoming movie, “Girl” is an original tale penned and directed by Shu Qi herself, following a lengthy creative process. Interestingly, Shu Qi will not be seen on screen in this film.
This movie is funded by CMC Entertainment from Taiwan, along with Wow Momentum, J.Q. Pictures, and Aranya Pictures. Mandarin Vision is responsible for its production. The film is overseen in executive production by Yeh Jufeng, a prolific producer known for hits like “A Sun,” “The Great Buddha+”, and the Shu Qi-led “The Village of No Return.
The movie is anticipated to finish sometime in the year 2025 (exact date undisclosed). Mandarin Vision has been appointed as the film’s global distributor, excluding mainland China.
Shu Qi expressed her joy as filming has come to an end, stating that she can’t wait to unveil this movie for viewers worldwide,” (paraphrased statement)
Originally named Lin Li-hui, Shu Qi has enjoyed a radiant acting career, appearing in numerous Asian films such as “Millennium Mumbo,” “Three Times,” and “The Assassin” directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, Feng Xiaogang’s “If You Are the One” trilogy, Wuershan’s hit “Mojin: The Lost Legend,” and Jiang Wen’s “Gone With the Bullets.” She has also ventured beyond Asia to star in Luc Besson-produced action film “The Transporter” and a segment of “New York, I Love You.
She has received numerous nominations and wins in the categories of Best Supporting Actress (for the 1998 comedy “Your Place or Mine”) and Best Actress (for “Three Times”), as well as the Best Actress award at the Asian Film Awards for “The Assassin” (2015).
