Wonderland’s Mark Lee and Peter Yu: Winning is stressful

Peter Yu and Mark Lee, who star in the locally produced film Wonderland, won awards for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor respectively at the Ho Chi Minh City International Film Festival.When Peter Yu was announced the winner of the Best Supporting Actor award at the Ho Chi Minh City International Film Festival, there was a moment of uncertainty among the Wonderland production team.

These wins are a first for both actors, who play middle-aged fathers who bond over their love for their daughters in Wonderland. Lee’s Best Actor award is his first international award, while Yu’s Best Supporting Actor award is his maiden international award for a feature film. Best known for his comedic roles in movies like the Money No Enough franchise and hosting variety shows on television, Lee admitted that it was a bit of a challenge going into a drama like Wonderland.

“Every time I went on set, I tried not to tell jokes, not to play around, and tried to be in character,” he said. “I’d just get my make-up done, look in the mirror, and try to settle down.”
