Vicki Zhao Wei already started acting when she was still in Beijing Film Academy. After starring in some minor productions, Vicki Zhao was spotted by Taiwan author and TV producer to star in 1998 TV series Huan Zhu Ge Ge or Princess Huan Zhu.
HZGG was a big hit across worldwide Chinese audience, and Vicki who played the leading role as Xiao Yan Zhi (Little Swallow) instantly became an international superstar.
Vicki Zhao continued to star in a few TV dramas, including the popular HZGG sequel in 1999. In the same year Vicki won Best Actress in the prestigious Golden Eagle Awards in China, then the youngest actress ever to receive the honor.
Vicki Zhao released her first solo album in 1999 as well, she released her 6th and latest album back in July 2006. Although quite popular as a singer in Mainland China, Vickis singing career didn't prosper as well internationally.
Vickis acting career seemed unstoppable though, in year 2000 Vicki made her big screen debut in The Duel, starring alongside Hong Kong popular actors Andy Lau and Ekin Cheng.
In 2001 Vicki starred in Stephen Chows popular movie Shao Lin Soccer and Zhao Wei was getting more and more popular internationally.
Vicki Zhaos then suffered a mini crisis in her career in late 2001 when she photoshot for a magazine cover wearing a design adapted from Japanese war flag. Apparently Mainland Chinese had yet to forgive the Japanese for their country invasion in 1930s/40s and Vicki was accused of betrayal and some extremist went to the extend as to "throwing shit on her".
Although feeling sorry, Vicki was perhaps more disappointed with how she was treated in the incident... but her acting career didn't end there. After the event, Vicki became a more mature lady, which is actually something good for both her acting career and personal life.
In 2002 she starred in a Hollywood collaboration movie, So Close that also featured Shu Qi and Karen Mok. In 2003, Vicki starred in another big production Warriors of Heaven and Earth. Although both movies werent blockbuster hit in boxoffice, Vicki started to gain fame in worldwide non-Chinese community.
Vicki Zhao then took a big U-Turn and focus back to her career in China, starring in smaller budget movies and started acting in TV series again. Vicki showed the Chinese audience how well she progressed in all these years and reclaimed her status as one of the top China actress.
Vicki Zhao is a great actress, and she opened the path for China actress into international starhood.. her contribution to the China TV and movie industry is undeniable. Good thing is, Vicki still has plenty of talents to show and rewrite her entertaiment record book

[SO CLOSE]
Shu Qi, (lynn)who's more recognized for her beauty than her acting chops, brings an unusual energy and edge to the angst-ridden Lynn. It would have been nice for the filmmakers to put a little bit more emotional arc to the back story of Lynn and her former boyfriend and how she's awakened from her life as an assassin after falling in love, but I guess that would have been a deviation from the film's frenetic pace.
Zhao Wei, as the petulant Sue who's itching to take over her sister's place in the assassination business, is just right for the part as she exudes that unique balance of childish enthusiasm and womanly sexuality. There's a lesbian subtext between Sue and Mok's Hong that doesn't come to fruition (too bad).
Mok is perhaps the most talented of the three leads. The actor-singer, who was once accepted for a part in the London production of "Miss Saigon" (she turned it down in favor of a Hong Kong recording contract), sang some of the songs in the film's musical score and is the only actor in the film who actually didn't need to have her lines dubbed for her (she speaks perfect English, as well as Italian, French, Cantonese and Mandarin!). She looks quite adept whether she's kicking and flipping or just goofing along with her bumbling cop sidekick in the film's sitcom-esque transition shots.
