Biography |
|
Born in 1950 in Vietnam as Tsui Man Kong, he came to Hong Kong in 1966 for his secondary education. In 1969 he entered the Southern Methodist University in Texas from which he graduated in 1975. He had interrupted his studies to co-direct a 45-minute documentary "From Spikes to Spindles" on Asian American history. He became an editor of a Chinatown Newspaper in New York and found a community theatre group and was active in the Chinatown Community Cable TV.
He returned to Hong Kong in 1977 to begin work as a TV producer-director, first for TVB, then for the now defunct CTV. His swordplay series "The Gold Dagger Romance" is regarded one of the best Hong Kong TV series. He made his first feature "The Butterfly Murders" in 1979 and the controversial "Dangerous Encounter - 1st kind" in 1980. He found the Film Workshop in 1984 and began with a nostalgic "Shanghai Blues". Co-produced with Cinema City in 1986 "A Better Tomorrow" is a huge succes. Adopted from the classic Hong Kong films, he created totally new images of Nie XiaoQian (Joey Wong Tsu Hsien: "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, 1987-1991), Wong Fei Hung (Jet Li / Zhao Wen Zhuo (aka Vincent Chiu Man Chuk): "Once Upon A Time In China" series, 1991-1997), Asia the Invincible (Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia: "Swordsman" series, 1991-1993), White Snake and Green Snake (Joey Wong and Maggie Cheung Man Yuk: "Green Snake", 1993), Liang Shan Bo and Chu Ying Tai (Nicky Wu Kei Lung and Charlie Young Choi Nei: "The Lovers", 1994).
He was award the Best Director Award of the Taiwan Golden Horse Award for "All The Wrong Clues For The Right Solution" and also the Best Director Award of the Hong Kong Film Awards for "Once Upon A Time In China". In 1997 he made his Hollywood debut with "Double Team" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. (Universe Laser & Video Co. Ltd.)
