Chen Jianbin expressed his feeling of gratitude after receiving the award.
"The encouragement of Golden Rooster Award can make more people know about this movie. After very long waiting, when my film hit theaters on 21 November, more people will enter cinemas to watch this movie. I'm very grateful to this award. Thank you."
Director Xu Ke won the award of 'Best Director' for the film 'The Taking of Tiger Mountain'.
The 65-year-old director gives his thanks to the awards.
"The most important thing is looking ahead. Being rewarded is only an encouragement for one period of time. More needs to be done. This award is an honor, but we need to work harder and harder, making better movies."
