Research Golden Harvest and the Generational Change in 1970s Hong Kong Cinema Po Fung The 1970s were a period of pivotal transitions in Hong Kong cinema. It was also the era of Golden Harvest, from its birth to becoming the main pillar of the film industry. In changing times, Golden Harvest had the flexibility to move with the times, but on the other hand its success came from it spearheading much of the change. Looking at the changes in the company itself, one can see some of significant movements in Hong Kong cinema back then. A New Crop of Homegrown Directors Founded in 1970, Golden Harvest released its debut production The Invincible Eight in 1971. Before The Big Boss hit the screens on 31 October, 1971, Golden Harvest’s productions and distributions include Lo Wei’s The Invincible Eight; Zatoichi and the One-Armed Swordsman, co-directed by Hsu Tseng-hung and Yasuda Kimiyoshi; Hsu Tseng-hung’s The Last Duel, Yip Wing-cho’s The Blade Spares None; Huang Feng’s The Angry River and The Fast Sword; Lo Wei’s The Comet Strikes; Wong Tin-lam’s The Chase; Hsu Tseng-hung’s The Invincible Sword and Law Chi’s Thunderbolt.1 On genre, these were all martial arts, or wuxia films from the ‘new wuxia era’ trend driven by the Shaw Brothers.

  • Networking for Strength and Survival Anne S
    The Gees of Houston: Networking for Strength and Survival Anne S. Chao, Chris Chan Abstract: The Gee clan of Houston is the largest and most prominent network of Chinese Americans in Houston. Linked together by a commonly shared last name, Gee (朱), and not always by blood, it is remarkable in that its members actively work to keep the ties strong, especially the younger generation, whose cultural reference is thoroughly American. This article examines how the Gees parlayed the traditional Chinese affinity for associations based on the same surname or place of origin into a hybrid model adapted for maximum efficacy in the new world. Led by a small group of generous and resourceful elders who put down roots in the Bayou city, the Gees rose from humble beginnings, endured the Jim Crow restrictions on non-whites, and attained great social, financial, and political heights. A brief discussion on the migration and assimilation patterns of overseas Chinese offers a conceptual framework with which to understand the settlement process of this remarkable group of individuals. The following stories are derived from interviews in HAAA, and form the basis of a planned in-depth study of the Gee clan. I. Introduction Scholars of Chinese migration have referenced classical theories of international migration and created their own syncretic framework to conceptualize the movement of people outward from China. The narrative of classic migration theories begins with E. G. Ravenstein’s seminal “Laws of Migration,” first created to study British migration in 1885. His laws were applied to international migration four years later and inspired the use of neo-classical economic models to explain rural-urban migration.1 In 1966, Everett S.

  • Richard NG Yiu-Hon 吳耀漢（B
    Richard NG Yiu-hon 吳耀漢（b. 1939.12.17） Actor A native of Huiyang, Guangdong. Born and raised in Hong Kong. Ng attended secondary school in the UK, studied theatre afterwards and appeared in British television soaps and films. In 1970, he moved back to Hong Kong to run his own business, but also acted on television. A born comedian, he first made guest appearances in Michael Hui’s comedy show The Hui Brothers Show (1971-72) before hosting It’s Not So Simple (1976). His performance impressed the then-famous comic actor Michael Hui and thus was invited to act in Hui’s film, The Private Eyes (1976), playing a policeman. Ng founded Advance Films Ltd. in 1975 and performed in his own production The Yellow Panther (1977), which achieved considerable success in the box office. Following this he co-starred with Ricky Hui in Golden Harvest’s The Pilferers’ Progress (1977), directed by John Woo, which became the highest grosser of the year scoring over HK$5 million. He successfully established his iconic comedic image with his signature lantern-jaw face and funny acting. In the same year, he starred again in his own production, Winner Takes All, which ranked second in the box-office charts. Ng emerged as the best comedian after Michael Hui. Ng went on to star in Golden Harvest’s Itchy Fingers (1979), Murder Most Foul! (1979; self-directed) and Super Fool! (1981). In 1982, he co-starred with Dean Shek in the Cinema City production It Takes Two, which was again a high grosser at the box office taking in over HK$16 million.

  • The Pilferers' Progress
    The Pilferers’ Progress (aka Money Crazy) (12A) 發錢寒 MON 15 FEB, 18:20 Dir John Woo/1977 HK/92 mins/ Richard Ng, Ricky Hui, Angie ChiuIn Cantonese with English and Chinese subtitles John Woo's name is often at the tip of our tongues when we think of Hong Kong cinema. His films A Better Tomorrow (1986), The Killer (1989) and Hard Boiled (1992) brought many new viewers to Hong Kong cinema in the '80s and '90s. Images of actor Chow Yun-fat, smoking cigars and wrecking teahouses in effortlessly cool slow motion continue to be some of the region's most iconic and they had an obvious impact worldwide, most famously on the Wachowskis and The Matrix (1999). Though internationally famous for these “heroic bloodshed” films of the 1980s, John Woo began his career long before then in the local television industry and was directing films for 10 years before developing his trademark style. Fans may be surprised with this early film, The Pilferers’ Progress, and its 92 minutes of slapstick comedy, bad magic tricks, and dodgy make-up. The Pilferers’ Progress was Woo's first film as both writer and director. It was produced by Golden Harvest, a production studio formed in the 1970s to compete with the Shaw Brothers – the studio responsible for the iconic martial arts films of the '60s and '70s. The film enlists the help of two comedy heavyweights for its leading roles: Ricky Hui (playing Poison) and Richard Ng (Dragon). Ricky was one of the Hui Brothers, who as a group reinvigorated Hong Kong's entertainment industries through their appearances in television, films and popular music in the 1970s.
