My Take
Raymond Wong Pak-ming strikes me as the unsung engine of Hong Kong cinema's golden run. As a co-founder of Cinema City in 1980, and a man who acted, wrote, directed and produced, he embodied the all-purpose hustle that powered the territory's comedy boom. I am drawn less to single stars than to the people who build systems that reliably deliver hits, and that is his real genius. He could make audiences laugh on screen while keeping a producer's cool head off it. Hong Kong film history would look noticeably different without his quiet, two-handed command.
