iQIYI’s "The Shadow’s Edge".

At the ceremony, the Golden Rooster Awards jury recognized LEUNG’s ability to portray
the character’s complexity through both powerful action and subtle emotional expression.
In his acceptance speech, LEUNG expressed his gratitude to director Larry YANG, 
Jackie CHAN, the Jackie Chan Stunt Team and the film’s production companies, including
iQIYI, Damai Entertainment and Hairun Pictures, for their collective efforts. This
also marked LEUNG’s first Golden Rooster Award in his more than 40-year acting career,
following his first nomination.

Established in 1981, the Golden Rooster Awards are among China’s most prestigious
film honors, recognizing outstanding achievements in filmmaking. The latest win 
adds to the track record of iQIYI, China’s leading online entertainment platform,
in producing high-quality films, following previous Golden Rooster Awards wins and
nominations for titles such as "Let Life Be Beautiful," "Tough Out" and "Ping Pong:
The Triumph."

**A Powerful Performance in a High-Stakes Action Crime Thriller**

Directed by Larry YANG and starring global action star Jackie CHAN, Zifeng ZHANG
and veteran Hong Kong actor Tony Ka-fai LEUNG, "The Shadow’s Edge" follows an elite
law enforcement team drawn into a cat-and-mouse chase through the dynamic streets
of Macao as they pursue a sophisticated criminal gang. The film pits old-school 
human intuition against modern high-tech surveillance.

LEUNG plays Longsheng FU, the calculating mastermind leading a crew of elusive master
thieves. His performance captures the character’s contrasting sides, shifting between
a sophisticated, composed appearance and ruthless personality, while delivering 
demanding action scenes, including a memorable one-against-30 fight sequence.

**Box Office Success and International Recognition**

Released theatrically in 2025, "The Shadow’s Edge" earned RMB 1.265 billion (190
million USD) at the Chinese box office and received strong audience reviews, becoming
one of the year’s standout action-crime films.

The film also reached audiences in more than 30 countries and regions, ranking among
Malaysia’s top 10 highest-grossing Chinese-language films of all time. It was featured
in the Open Cinema section of the Busan International Film Festival and the Limelight
programme of the International Film Festival Rotterdam, two major international 
film festivals. LEUNG also won Best Actor at the 44th Hong Kong Film Awards, one
of Asia’s leading film honors, for the same role.

**iQIYI Extends the Film’s Value from the Big Screen to Streaming**

Beyond its theatrical success, "The Shadow’s Edge" continued its strong performance
following its online release on iQIYI in November 2025, topping multiple viewership
charts and attracting strong audience engagement. Its performance across both theatrical
and streaming releases highlights iQIYI’s ability to extend the value of high-quality
theatrical films through its streaming platform.

Building on the success of the first film, the iQIYI-produced sequel "The Shadow’s
Edge 2" began filming in Huizhou, Guangdong, in October 2026, extending the story
into its next chapter.

Through projects such as "The Shadow’s Edge," iQIYI remains committed to producing
high-quality films, supporting creative talent and bringing compelling Chinese stories
to audiences in China and around the world.
