China Movie Channel, the country's most influential movie broadcaster, held an award ceremony recently for winners of 14 categories of its latest M-Chart awards, an annual honor that recognized the most outstanding movies and their makers between 2022 and 2023. With the war epic The Battle at Lake Changjin franchise, which grossed an overall 9.84 billion yuan from two installments, Huang Jianxin — a veteran filmmaker credited with participating in 83 movies and producing 46 features within 45 years — took home the annual outstanding producer award. "This year's Spring Festival holiday ushered in a good start and also brought about the revival of China's film industry," Huang says during an interview with Chinese reporters.
