I can't think of any other way to express my inner excitement and admiration for you than singing.

Leung Chao-wai has been nominated for Best Actor 11 times at the Hong Kong Film Awards, among which, in the decade from 1995 to 2005, he has been nominated for 6 times and won 5 awards, becoming the first person in history, which can be called the film emperor among the film emperors.
However, Chow Sing Chi, who has only won the Film Emperor of the Academy Awards for 1 time, also has a miracle that Liang Chaowei cannot reach at the Hong Kong Academy Awards, and even said that there is no ancient person before and no one after him.
At the 21st Hong Kong Film Awards in 2002, Stephen Chow won four awards: Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director and Best New Director.
Because Liang Chaowei is not a director, he has no chance to win the best director and best actor awards at the same time.
Acting and directing has long been a trend in the film and television industry, and the directors who have transformed into actors not only have acting skills, but also have a certain box office influence. Therefore, most of the directors who are transformed by ordinary actors will direct and act themselves.
Only self-directed and self-acting can have the opportunity to win best director and best actor at the same time.
At the Hong Kong Film Awards, self-directed and self-acting, and then won the best director and best actor at the same time, and even the best film, Stephen Chow is the first, and it will be difficult to produce a second in the next few decades.
However, self-directing and self-acting, it is much easier to take the film emperor by yourself, and Zhou Xingchi is not the first.
In 1982, the Hong Kong Film Awards were founded, and the first film emperor was Hui Guanwen of "Modern Bodyguard".
Xu Guanwen is not only the male protagonist of "Modern Bodyguard", but also the director and screenwriter, so he is the first superstar to self-direct and play the film emperor.
"Modern Bodyguard" was the annual box office champion in Hong Kong in 1981, achieving a record-breaking box office of HK$17.76 million, more than 8 million more than the runner-up, and is an epoch-making work.
Hui Guanwen is also an epoch-making superstar in the Hong Kong film industry, he and his two younger brothers Hui Guanying and Hui Guanjie formed an iron triangle, after the death of Bruce Lee, from 1974 onwards to carry the banner of the Hong Kong film box office, dominating the Hong Kong box office for many years, is the first generation of Hong Kong film comedy king.
However, "Modern Bodyguard" is also the last time Hui Guanwen won the box office championship, because the next year his younger brother Xu Guanjie was heavily poached by New Art City and became the male protagonist of "Best Partner", and the Hong Kong film industry has also entered a new era.
At the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards in 1983, the film emperor double yolk egg was born for the first time, which was jointly won by Mai Jia of "Best Partner" and Hong Jinbao of "Beware of Little Hands".
"Best Partner" was also the box office champion that year, the first blockbuster film of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but the director was not Mai Jia; "Beware of Little Hands" was the 7th place in the box office list that year, with a box office of 11.8 million Hong Kong dollars, which was also a good result.
The director, actor and producer of "Beware of little hands" are all Hong Jinbao; therefore, Hong Jinbao has become the second superstar who directs himself and plays the film emperor.
The first Hong Kong Film Awards did not have nominations and only set up 5 awards, and this year's Academy Awards began to have a formal nomination system, and the number of awards increased to 12.
This time, Mai Jia and Hong Jinbao jointly defeated Chen Huimin in "Kill into love street", Lin Zixiang in "Run to the Fury Sea" and Zhang Guorong in "Fire Youth".
At the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1985, Lee Xiu-yin of "Servant of the Public Servant" defeated Chow Yun-fat of "Waiting for dawn", Zheng Zeshi of "Lost Marriage", Hui Guanwen of "Teppanyaki" and Jackie Chan of "Plan A".
Among them, Zheng Zeshi, Xu Guanwen and Jackie Chan are all self-directed and self-acting.
With this film, Li Xiuxian also won the 1984 Golden Horse Award film emperor, and was the first superstar to become a double film emperor of the Golden Horse Award with the same work. Therefore, this award is still quite gold-bearing and convincing.
In addition, Li Xiuxian played the humane and upright policeman A B in "Public Servant", which to a certain extent reversed the public image of the Hong Kong police at that time, so that the public had more good feelings and trust in the police, and established the screen image of Li Xiuxian's professional police households in the film industry.
At the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards in 1986, Zheng Zeshi of "Why Have Me", Chow Yun Fat of "Woman's Heart", Hui Guanwen of "Three Treasures of Wisdom and Courage", Jackie Chan of "Heart of the Dragon" and "Police Story" won the award.
This time, Xu Guanwen is not a director, but the director and martial arts director of "Police Story" are Jackie Chan; and "Police Story" also won the Best Film Award, which is also the closest Jackie Chan to the Academy Award.
In "Why Have I", Zheng Zeshi played a low-intelligence young fat cat, which is his most famous screen representative image; his performance can be said to have touched all the Academy Awards judges, and thus awarded him a jury award.
Hong Jinbao's "Dragon's Heart", the theme collided with "Why Me", and there were many wonderful and thrilling action scenes, but won the box office and lost the award.
After 16 years, Stephen Chow became another self-directed and self-directed Academy Awards film emperor with "Shaolin Football"; and won the Best Film Award, reaching the highest level of self-directed and self-acting achievements.
"Shaolin Soccer" not only swept the Academy Awards, but also the Hong Kong box office champion that year, the first Chinese-language film in Hong Kong to gross more than 60 million.
The director of the actor transformation, self-directing and self-acting, does have more advantages, because he can add drama to himself, and he also knows the so-called director's intention best, and most of them finally have the final editing rights.
However, after Stephen Chow, in the past 20 years of the Hong Kong Academy Awards, there is no one who directs himself and plays himself to take the movie emperor.
In 1988, when Zhang Yimou won the Golden Rooster Award and the Tokyo Film Emperor with "Old Well", the director was Wu Tianming;
In the 1990s, when Jackie Chan won the Golden Horse Award for "Police Story 3" and "Major Crime Unit", the directors were Tang Jili and Huang Zhiqiang;
In 2015, when Feng Xiaogang won the Golden Horse Award for Film Emperor with "Old Cannon", the director was Guan Hu.
Because in the Hong Kong film industry, it is still the gang of people who come and go to be the protagonists, and they have very few energy and state that can take into account both the director and the starring role at the same time.
