  • Hong Kong Filmmakers Search: Eric TSANG
    Eric TSANG 曾志偉（b. 1953.4.14） Actor, Director, Producer A native of Wuhua, Guangdong, Tsang was born in Hong Kong. He had a short stint as a professional soccer player before working as a martial arts stuntman at Shaw Brothers Studio along with Sammo Hung. In 1974, he followed Lau Kar-leung’s team to join Chang Cheh’s film company in Taiwan, and returned to Hong Kong in 1976. Tsang then worked as screenwriter and assistant director for Lau Kar-leung, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan in companies such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. Introduced to Karl Maka by Lau, Tsang and Maka co-wrote the action comedy Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog! in 1978. Tsang made his directorial debut next year with The Challenger (1979). In 1980, Tsang was invited by Maka to join Cinema City. He became a member of the ‘Team of Seven’, participating in story creation. He soon directed the record shattering Aces Go Places (1982) and Aces Go Places II (1983), while he also produced a number of movies that explored different filmmaking approaches, including the thriller He Lives by Night (1982), Till Death Do We Scare (1982), which applied western style make-up and special effects, and the fresh comedy My Little Sentimental Friend (1984). Tsang left Cinema City in 1985 and became a pivotal figure in Hung’s Bo Ho Films. He was the associate producer for such films as Mr. Vampire (1985) and My Lucky Stars (1985). In 1987, Tsang co-founded Alan & Eric Films Co. Ltd. with Alan Tam and Teddy Robin.

  • Hong Kong Filmmakers Search: Sammo Hung
    Sammo HUNG 洪金寶（b. 1952.1.7） Director, Actor, Martial Arts Choreographer, Executive Producer A native of Ningbo, Zhejiang, Hung was born in Hong Kong. His grandfather, Hung Chung-ho was a director in the 1930s and 40s. Hung enrolled in Yu Zhanyuan’s Hong Kong-China Opera Institute to study Peking opera before he was ten. He was the captain of the school’s performing troupe ‘Seven Little Fortunes’. Under the screen name Chu Yuen-lung, Hung appeared in Education of Love (1961) and The Seven Little Valiant Fighters (1962). He began working as a stuntman in the late 1960s, and served as the martial arts choreographer for Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Ltd’s The Golden Sword (1969). After Golden Harvest (HK) Limited was established, Hung took part in Lo Wei, Huang Feng and Chung Chang-hwa’s features as both a martial arts choreographer and actor. He was also the martial arts choreographer of King Hu’s The Valiant Ones (1975). In 1977, he made his directorial debut The Iron-Fisted Monk for Golden Harvest. Its box-office catapulted Hung to stardom. In addition to his comedic genius, he won over audiences with his remarkable, fluid action despite his bulk size. The box-office success was followed by a series of action comedies, including Warriors Two (1978), Knockabout (1979) and The Prodigal Son (1981), all directed and played by Hung himself. In 1978, Hung set up Gar Bo Films with Karl Maka and Lau Kar-wing and produced features such as Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog! (1978). In 1979, he founded Bo Ho Films Company Limited, a satellite company of Golden Harvest.

  • NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER 3 (1990): Producer: Ng See Yuen
    NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER 3 (1990): Producer: Ng See Yuen Director: Lucas Lowe Co-Producer/Writer: Keith W. Strandberg Cast: Keith Vitali, Loren Avedon Locations: Tampa Bay Area, Florida Original Title: Blood Brothers Review courtesy of www.kungfucinema.com “Producer Ng See-Yuen reunites with screenwriter Keith W. Strandberg and tae kwon do expert Loren Avedon in this tale that takes a page from Ng's first film with Seasonal Film Corporation, THE SECRET RIVALS.” To complete his U.S.-Hong Kong crossover trilogy, launching Jean-Claude Van Damme in 1985 and Loren Avedon in 1987, producer Ng See-Yuen reunites with screenwriter Keith W. Strandberg and tae kwon do expert Loren Avedon in this tale that takes a page from Ng's first film with Seasonal Film Corporation, THE SECRET RIVALS. Only instead of North and South styles as the "rivals", we have two brothers whose political views gets the best of them until the death of their father brings them together. C.I.A. agent Casey Alexander (Keith Vitali) has a reputation as being one of the most respected agents in the company. Martial arts instructor Will Alexander (Loren Avedon), Casey's brother, doesn't believe in the entire federal agent shtick and as a result, the two brothers have a serious falling out that starts out at a hunting trip and culminates at the 65th birthday party of their retired agent father John (Joseph Campanella). When John becomes the target of Colombian terrorist Antonio "Franco" Franconi (Rion Hunter), the result of a job in which Franco's son was killed, John is brutally beaten and then ultimately killed by Franco.

In recent years, there has been much research and theory on western film music, especially the Hollywood film industry, by musicologists and scholars in film studies, popular music studies, and other fields. However, there has been little research on Hong Kong Film music, the system of which is different from that of western film music, and therefore I will apply basic film music concepts, but using the real situation of Hong Kong film music to formulate my own argument. The methodology used in this thesis will include the application of basic concepts used by scholars of film music, such as the functions of music in film, combined with fieldwork and analysis of films.
