Shu Qi is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. Because her name is transliterated in so many ways, it is hard to get a firm estimate of the number of fan Web sites devoted to her, though a Google search for just one of her name variants (Hsu Chi) returns 183,000 fan pages, mostly filled with photographs of her. A good example of the kind of reaction she provokes: when she first appeared on screen in the film "Viva Erotica" (which, despite its title, is an R-rated comedy, not a porn film), audiences (the majority of whom had never seen her before) were reported to have let out collective gasps of astonishment, often followed by a stunned silence.
This seems way too thick...first off, Google returns 333,000 results now for her name (Hsu Chi). Second, 333,000 results may seem a lot, but compared to other actresses (Kelly Chen for example, who has 1,240,000 hits) it isn't that many. And last of all, how about evidence to back up that stunned silence event?--64.231.223.72 03:50, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I've removed this paragraph. I personally think she's gorgeous, but this is too much POV. Mandel 20:35, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
Although she's DEFINATELY one of the most beautiful women in the world (along with Monica Bellucci, Maria Thayer, Ayumi Hamasaki, Sophia Loren, Ann-Margret and Carol Lynley) that's an awkward sentence.
[edit] Photo
Can anyone get a decent photo of her up here?
[edit] Porn or not Porn
she became a model for nude girls magazines and softcore movie shorts, but she never worked for porn entertainment
The phrase 'porn entertainment' is a bit awkward. In any case either doing softcore IS porn or it isn't. According to the definition on wiki it is. If it isn't then we need to remove Shu Qi from the porn category. If it is, then this sentence is inaccurate. Tweisbach (talk) 13:47, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think we should remove the "but she never" part of the sentence unless citable sources are found. Calling it porn or not sounds like a categorization made to defend her reputation, it does not change what she did and did not do in her life. In some countries, in some eras, the "hardcore" sexuality was a different industry than "softcore". In other places and times it was the same industry, just a different entertainment product. I'm not sure what the difference means in terms of covering her life as we do here. If she did softcore adult entertainment that's what she did, and the rest is just commentary.

She has appeared fully naked on film and in still photos - some might define this as pornography. I suspect the line ("never worked for porn entertainment) is intended to mean that she has never had unsimulated sex in front of a camera; if this is the case, perhaps it should be phrased as such, to avoid any ambiguity.
