Hong Kong Showbiz: I'm a Director, Not a Mob Boss!

Cao Wenhao, an unscrupulous director, returned to the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.

But he became a gang boss, and had no golden finger to help him.

So he had no choice but to return to his old trade. A Better Tomorrow became a hit across Hong Kong.

Prison on Fire, The Face...

He became a master of violent aesthetics.

An Autumn's Tale, A Moment of Romance, If Love Has Divine Will...

He made people believe in love.

New Dragon Gate Inn... An entertainment mogul, an icon of Chinese cinema, a master filmmaker...

Years later, when audiences marveled at his many titles, who could have guessed that all he wanted at first was to go straight?
