Manfred said the two movies that successfully helped turn Shu Qi into a serious actress were City of Glass (1998), which she starred opposite Leon Lai, and Gorgeous, the 1999 Jackie Chan and Tony Leung film.
He said he is very grateful to directors Mabel Cheung and Vincent Kok for casting Shu Qi and he credits the success of City of Glass for paving the way for her smooth career in Hong Kong.
Manfred also said Shu Qi’s rumoured relationship with Leon Lai raised her profile even more.
According to Manfred, Shu Qi also doesn’t like to socialise. She once said to him, “Why must I entertain the boss just because I’m in his commercial?” Hence, he learnt how to say no from her.
At that time, there were a lot of rumours about actresses who would have dinner parties with rich businessmen. Manfred said someone had invited Shu Qi to one such party in Beijing. He immediately turned that person down.
“If you want her to be in a commercial for your product, she will definitely have a meal with the investors out of courtesy. If not, she will never go for a dinner party,” Manfred said.
There has been talk that Shu Qi fell out with Manfred over money, which led to the end of their working relationship.
To this, Manfred said: “We parted on good terms. I once joked with her, why don’t you tell people how much commission I took from you, everyone will be shocked.”
