Viva Erotica swept the 1997 Honk Kong Film Awards with 8 nominations, 2 with Shu Qi for Best New Performer and Best Supporting Actressc Shu Qi won both of the awards.
Shu Qi could have made it to international stardom in 2000, when shefs actually the first choice as leading actress for Lee Angfs acclaimed movie gCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragonh but she couldnft fit into the filming schedule. Zhang Ziyi took her role then and rises to international star hood.

In November 2005, Shu Qi won the prestigious 42nd Golden Horse Best Actress Award in Taiwan for her acting in gThree Times.h
Other than her great acting career, Shu Qi was also noticeable for her on and off relationship rumors with Hong Kong pop-singer/actor Leon Lai. The relationship (or perhaps just rumors) was ended in 2006 when Leon officially introduced his current girlfriend to the public.
