Shu Qi & Chen Kun show casual sides in photography exhibition

China — An upcoming photography exhibition in Shanghai will feature Taiwanese actress Shu Qi and Chinese actor Chen Kun in a casual light.

K Artists, the agency founded by Chen and Chinese actress Zhou Xun in January 2018 posed on Weibo a video on Tuesday (Oct 26) promoting the exhibition named Good Vibrations. In July 2020, Shu joined the agency as a partner.

K Artists wrote in Chinese: “Good friends are most precious in life… Let’s see how Chen Kun and Shu Qi view each other through the lens of their cameras.”

Both aged 45, Shu and Chen also shared the post on their respective Weibo accounts.

Chen was seen using a camera to take a shot of Shu while she was sitting on a sofa without her shoes in one part of the video.

Chen, who has a 19-year-old son, shared that both Shu and Zhou were like family to him, as they accepted him unconditionally.

In the video, Shu said that she often used her mobile phone to take ugly photos of Chen as the photos they take for the media are usually beautiful.

The actress, who is married to Hong Kong actor-director Stephen Fung, said such casual shots are memorable, adding that people will show only their less glamorous side to those they trust, reported Straits Times.

The photography exhibition will be held at the Shanghai Centre of Photography from Nov 5 to Feb 28.
