| Video Discription | (5 Mar 2014) WONG KAR-WAI, TONY CHIU WAI LEUNG, AND ZHANG ZIYI HONORED BY HONG KONG FILM DIRECTORS' GUILD Stars from both sides of the camera attended the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Awards on Wednesday (5 MARCH 2014). The organization, which is celebrating its 25th year, held its annual dinner and handed out awards to recognize excellence in Hong Kong cinema. The star-studded affair included appearances from A-listers like Zhang Ziyi, Tony Chiu Wai Leung, Shu Qi and Nicholas Cheung. Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai attended after returning from Los Angeles, where he attended Sunday's Oscars. His kung fu epic "The Grandmaster" was nominated in two categories (costume design and cinematography) at the Academy Awards. Although he came home empty handed, Wong said that he's thrilled that a film from Hong Kong was recognized by Hollywood. "It was a very productive trip, especially when a Hong Kong film like 'The Grandmaster' is able to receive exposure on this platform. Most of the awards were given mostly to two films ('Gravity' and '12 Years A Slave'). I think that's interesting," he said. Hong Kong actor Nicholas Cheung's performance as a has been boxer in "Unbeatable" has earned him critical plaudits. The former police officer credits his performance to a close working relationship with the movie's director. Comparing the relationship between an actor and the director to that of husband and wife, Cheung said that the key to a successful relationship is communication. "We want to reach a consensus on all the details. Don't do it on the set because there won't be any time to discuss then. If you discover later on that that you can't agree on something, then someone might be unhappy. Also, if you don't agree with something he wants to do, or he doesn't agree with what you want to do, that's not a good thing. A director's relationship with the actor is inseparable, just like husbands and wives." Actress Shu Qi also stressed the importance of directors. "I'm very grateful to directors like Wong Jing, Manfred Wong and Andrew Lau. They went all the way to Taiwan to lure me to Hong Kong. A lot of directors have been very good to me. I've encountered a lot of directors who have made my career." Seven awards were handed out during the annual dinner. "The Grandmaster" nabbed Best Film and Best Director, while Tony Chiu Wai Leung and Zhang Ziyi were named Best Actor and Best Actress respectively. Best New Director and Best New Actor went to "The Way We Dance" director Adam Wong and his lead actor Baby John Choi. The winners were voted for by the members of the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild.
