"The Golden Era", a three-hour movie depicting the novelist's
short life in 1930s China, also won in the best cinematography,
best art direction as well as best costume and make up design
categories.
The Mandarin-language movie was co-produced by both Hong Kong
and mainland China film companies. While such co-productions are
common, Hui said Hong Kong should also make more films with
local characteristics.
"I think Hong Kong should have its own film industry apart from
co-productions with China, because even a province would like to
have its local color and see its way of life in the films," she
said at the ceremony's red carpet on Sunday night.
"Hong Kong has a tradition of local films and has very distinct
particulars about certain people and about certain subjects that
are banned in China -- triads, horror stories, horror mixed with
kung fu, kung fu mixed with comedy, that kind of genre in China
right now is censored."
Hui also won best director at the Asian Film Awards and Golden
Horse Film Festival for the film.
Hong Kong actor Sean Lau won best actor for his performance in
"Overheard 3" and China's Zhao Wei won best actress for her role
in Chinese-Hong Kong film "Dearest" at Sunday's annual ceremony,
currently in its 34th year.
