Gigi Lai, actrice de télévision chinoise mais aussi mannequin et chanteuse est née le 1er octobre 1971, elle a fait une grande partie de sa carrière pour la chaîne de télévision TVB à Hong Kong jusqu'à sa retraite de cette chaîne en 2008.

Biography

黎姿 ou Lai Gigi Lychee est une actrice de la chaîne de télévision Hong Kong TVB. Elle est la petite fille de monsieur Lai Man-Wai - le « père » spirituel du cinema de Hong-Kong.

Toute la famille participe des milieux artistiques puisque sa tante Lai Suen elle aussi est une actrice bien connue dans les années 1960. Son père par contre est sourd de naissance, aussi, pour aider sa famille, elle commence sa carrière dans l'industrie du show business dès l'âge de 14 ans.

Le surnom de Gigi est "愛美神", c'est-à-dire "la déesse qui aime la beauté" et ce surnom lui va bien car l'apparence compte tellement pour elle qu'elle a refusé des rôles dans la seule crainte de s'enlaidir. Par exemple, elle refuse dans les années 1990 le rôle qui a permis à Carina Lau de se faire connaître car elle ne voulait pas se faire couper les cheveux.

En 1990, elle participe au film Dragon in Jail à côté d'Andy Lau.

De 1986 à 2003, elle tourne dans différents films dramatiques, comiques, d'actions, ou d'horreur

En 1999, elle tourne au Viet Nâm pour TVB qui lui confie un rôle important, celui de Zhao Min dans le film tiré du roman Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre (L’Épée céleste et le sabre du dragon).

Elle publie aussi des albums chantés en chinois et en chinois cantonais.

Avec le temps, sa palette de jeu s'est élargie et elle a eu à cœur de jouer divers types de personnages. Elle y gagne des récompenses et c'est à l'occasion de sa prestation dans la série War and Beauty (La guerre et la beauté) qu'elle prouve l'étendue de ses talents en gagnant le trophée de la TVB Most Popular Actress Award en 2004.

Elle s'est retirée de l'industrie du cinéma afin d'aider son frère blessé en 2007 dans un accident de voiture. Mariée à l'homme d'affaires Patrick Ma Ting Kueng fin septembre 2008 à Sydney, elle attend son premier enfant pour 2009.
