Chen Yu Qi (English name: Yukee) is a Chinese actress, born as Chen Qian in Chengdu of Sichuan Province. She graduated from the Department of Arts of Jincheng College of Sichuan University, majoring in performance. Chen started out as an extra in Hengdian World Studios. She struggled to get roles until she was discovered in 2015 by Tang Yang while filming "Westward Journey 3". In February 2017, she was awarded the "Annual Emerging Drama Star" at the 2017 China TV Drama Quality Festival for her supporting role in the 2016 costume drama "Princess Wei Yang". In August 2018, she was named the "New Generation Female Artist of the Year" at the InStyle Annual Idol Festival Awards. Her lead role in the wuxia drama "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre (2019)" won four awards, namely the "Best Actress in a Network Drama Team" and the "Excellent Actor" at the 6th China TV Good Actor Awards, the "Breakthrough Actress of the Year" at the 4th Jinguduo Internet Film Festival, and the "Breakthrough TV Drama Actor of the Year" at the 2019 Tencent Video Starlight Awards. In December the following year, Chen won the "Artist of the Year" at the 2020 Tencent Video Starlight Awards.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
