Tony Leung Chiu-wai opened the international jury press conference for the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival‘s main competition promising to approach the Golden Goblet selection with an open mind – and, where needed, to argue his case.

“Even though the awards process is a team effort, I will do my best to convince them,” said the legendary Hong Kong actor, who is chairing a Chinese film festival jury for the first time. “I’ve always been watching films with such attitude, because this is the only way to see the full perspective of a film. I do need help from all the jury members. As I’ve been focusing on being an actor in the past 40 years, I can take advice from a director’s or a fellow actor’s point of view, which is different from mine.”
