The spotlight fell on Han Fei, and all eyes turned to him.
At twenty-six, the Best Supporting Actor emerged as a dark horse from amongst countless actors, earning the recognition of fourteen judges with just two works.
Unlike previous years where the difference was just a vote or two, securing all fourteen votes was a scene not witnessed by the actors and directors present in a long time.
In the selection that consisted only of young actors, Han Fei lost to Bai Cha, but in the competition involving all supporting actors of the year, Han Fei came out on top.
This in fact already explained a lot, no matter how many reasons Bai Cha had, the gap in acting was too glaring – if you're not up to par, you're just not up to par.
The film festival awards were highly esteemed precisely because of their fairness; the unanimous choice of the fourteen judges this time could also be seen as a stand against the capitalists.
