Hi, happy to free you from nomination purgatory! The article already looks good, I'll give the more complex suggestion here and edit minor things myself. We can discuss all the changes here. LastJabberwocky (talk) 12:35, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- That's it, I like a quick review! I also checked the integrity of links, reliability of sources, and spotchecked some of them. I also tried searching something about his personal life, but it seems 24/7 preoccupied with movies :). Closing my review. LastJabberwocky (talk) 13:38, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
General things
earned him a nomination for Best Cinematography in the 30th Hong Kong Film Awards,[13] as well as Raymond Yip's martial arts drama film Bruce Lee, My Brother. Bruce Lee, My Brother wasn't nominated for the Best Cinematography. Instead, we can mention that the film won Best Original Film Song, even through it isn't directly related to Jason Kwan, OR put other films from cinematography nomination, OR delete "as well as.." phrase all together.

- Hey LastJabberwocky! Thank you so much for taking on the review and copyediting the article!! What if I change this line to: That same year, Kwan shot the drama Merry-Go-Round, co-directed by Yan Yan Mak and Clement Cheng, and the martial arts film Bruce Lee, My Brother, directed by Raymond Yip. He earned a nomination for Best Cinematography at the 30th Hong Kong Film Awards for the former. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 13:07, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- AAooh, he cinematographer FOR Bruce Lee, My Brother, and not connected to the award for cinematography. I like the way you paraphrased it. LastJabberwocky (talk) 13:38, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

- DYK nomination made same day as GA nomination passed. Sources look good, and nothing is left without a footnote; QPQ done. I recommend
approving this with ALT2 or ALT1; first and fourth hooks are comparatively unremarkable. Thank you for providing translations to quotes in each source for verification! I also look forward to seeing more of your work, since I recall seeing Peg O' My Heart on the front page and found it very well written. -- Reconrabbit 15:28, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for reviewing and appreciating my work, Reconrabbit! I am glad that the articles I wrote did not go unnoticed. (I still have a couple of DYK noms pending, so feel free to consider reviewing those as well if you need more QPQs XD.) I personally like ALT1 the most and I think we can go with it! —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 03:56, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

關智耀曾是彭浩翔工作伙伴，從攝影指導換了導演的崗位，他說「最唔習慣的是，以前由佢嗌cut變咗做我嗌，佢嗌action變咗做我嗌，在片場上有很多地方都要由佢提點。」而彭浩翔則大讚關智耀「在《志明與春嬌》及《春嬌與志明》合作時，我發覺關智耀對演員演出有細膩觀察
[Jason Kwan was once a working partner of Pang Ho-cheung, transitioning from cinematographer to director. He said, "The most unfamiliar part is that he used to call "cut", and now it is me who calls it; I used to hear "action" from him, and now it is me calling it. There are many aspects on set that I need him to guide me on." Pang Ho-cheung praised Jason Kwan, saying, "During our collaboration on Love in a Puff and Love in the Buff, I realized that Kwan has a keen-eyed observation of acting performances."] - ^ 羅偉強 (16 April 2017).
