It's perhaps moments like this that make the restrictive travelling to Taiwan worth it for the cast and crew of local movie "Number 1".

The "Number 1" crew had a star-struck moment when critically acclaimed director Ang Lee popped by their post-ceremony dinner to thank everyone for attending the film festival.

Ang Lee, who is recognised as one of the top contemporary film makers in the world, is also the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards.
