Tsui Hark

Tsui Hark ({{zh-cpw|c=徐克|p=Xú Kè|w=Hsü K'o}}) (born Tsui Man-kong on January 2, 1951) is a New Wave film director in Hong Kong who is also a highly influential producer, often likened to Steven Spielberg for a similar galvanizing effect on his country's cinematic scene.

Television career

Tsui immediately found work directing in television along with a number of his future New Wave compatriots, first at pioneering station TVB and then at CTV. His 1978 series for CTV, The Gold Dagger Romance, was the start of Tsui's long association with the time-honored genre of wuxia, or martial arts swordplay. It is still considered a groundbreaking classic for the unusual energy and cinematic sensibility it brought to TV drama.
