However, those other films you named were from his Applause Picture days (which I don't even think it's making any more films these days). Golden Chicken was a good effort and felt like was really made for the Hong Kong market, but it seems like he has chosen to give it up to make as much money as he can. In other words, I hope he can be a truly Hong Kong filmmaker again, but then again, how many of those are still out there? Hi, YTSL,

Yes, I supposed did misquote him slightly, and I think Protege was a solid producing effort on his part. However, those other films you named were from his Applause Picture days (which I don’t even think it’s making any more films these days). Golden Chicken was a good effort and felt like was really made for the Hong Kong market, but it seems like he has chosen to give it up to make as much money as he can. In other words, I hope he can be a truly Hong Kong filmmaker again, but then again, how many of those are still out there?

Also, this is the guy whose producing credits include for the very Hong Kong GOLDEN CHICKEN as well as more Pan-Asian efforts like THE EYE and the THREEs. So am trusting that there's still a lot of good to come from him yet.

Yet another sign that directing movies in Taiwan is a thankless cause. I suppose her style does suit manga adaptations though. I didn’t know Robin Lee was directing “Honey & Clover”.
