A Memoire of Hong Kong Cinema Production

There is a position in film production called "Producer". It appears in the opening and closing credits of the film, but few people know what it does. Some people confuse "Producer" with "Executive Producer" and "Producer", and for the general public outside the film industry, "Producer" is a group of workers with vague faces. The English name of the Producer position is "Production Manager", which is the project manager of film production. It is responsible for all matters before, during and after the shooting, and ensures that relevant people and things are smoothly promoted. The Producer also serves as a customer service and crisis management worker for the drama group, responsible for handling any emergencies during production. This book interviewed ten producers, all of whom are experienced and adaptable. In the 1980s and 1990s, when the Hong Kong production system was not yet sound, the behind-the-scenes stories of outdoor shooting were often more exciting than the front. Their experiences are also part of Hong Kong film history, and the stories of Hong Kong producers of different generations tell the experience of Hong Kong film production, which is also an interesting side of modern Hong Kong film history.
