Shuya Sophia Cai's first screen role was in the Chinese romantic drama "Somewhere Only We Know" in 2015. She plays Ni Ni, the daughter of Peng Zeyang (Kris Wu). Zeyang plays the love interest of Jin Tian (Wang Likun), joining her on her journey to find an old lover of her grandmother's, Chen Lanxin (Xu Jinglei), when she finds love letters from him after Lanxin dies. Ni Ni doesn't have much screen time, but she already shows how charming and lovable she is.
In 2021, Cai had a small role in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Apple+ series, "Mr. Corman." The series focuses on Josh Corman, a public school teacher in the San Fernando Valley in California. Cai plays Maggie in a blink-and-you'll-miss-her part as one of Josh Corman's (Gordon-Levitt) students, who is giving a report about bats to the class with three other students.
Cal received a Young Artist Award nomination for her role as Meiying in "The Meg," and with the actress now a teenager, we can't wait to see if she plays a bigger part in "The Meg 2: The Trench," set to be released August 4, 2023.
