Template:Infobox Chinese-language singer and actor
Wong Tin-Lam was a Chinese screenwriter, producer, director, and actor, who has contributed a lot to the Hong Kong cinema scene with a career spanning six decades. He has made films of almost every genre imaginable in Cantonese, Mandarin and Amoy dialect, thus accumulating rich experiences in film production.[1]
Career
Wong started off as an up-and-coming director in the mid-1950s, working for the Hsin Hwa Film Company. He later joined Cathay Organisation, shooting a number of successful films, which made him one of the most popular directors of that time.
When Cathay Studios was shut down in the early 1970s, Wong continued to establish himself as a talented filmmaker, continuously making TV drama serials by combining film production techniques with the flexibility of television production, and became a trendsetter in melodrama and wuxia serials.[1]
Wong would eventually retire from the television production scene, and nowadays can be seen in appearances and supporting roles in films directed by Johnnie To, Wai Ka-Fai and even his son, Wong Jing, who would eventually follow in his footsteps.
