'Dragonfly' soars as biggest winner at 16th Beijing film festival
Chinese actor Yu Hewei won Best Actor for his role in All the Good Eyes, presented by fellow actors Zhang Yi and Duan Yihong. Set in Shenyang, Northeast China's Liaoning province, the film holds personal significance for Yu, who grew up in the region.
"I know that land and the people who live there. They carry deep emotions and love. As long as a story has love, it can transcend borders, connect with audiences, and serve as a bridge," he said.
Scheduled for release on the Chinese mainland on May 23, All the Good Eyes is a crime drama told through the perspectives of three generations of men, tracing a family's changing fortunes over four decades. The film also earned Qiao Shan the Best Supporting Actor award for his role as a kettleman.
"The award came as a sudden surprise. Standing on this stage, seeing so many artists and my idols in the audience — it feels incredible," Qiao said. "After two decades as a comedy performer, being here hasn't been easy. Now I understand why everyone wants to win an award," he added teasingly.
