Fruit Chan
Fruit Chan Gor (born 15 April 1959) is a Hong Kong Second Wave screenwriter, filmmaker and producer, who is best known for his style of film reflecting the everyday life of Hong Kong people.
He is well known for using amateur actors (such as Sam Lee in "Made in Hong Kong", Wong Yau-Nam in "Hollywood Hong Kong") in his films.
He became a household name after the success of the 1997 film "Made in Hong Kong", which earned many local and international awards.
Chan was deeply influenced by the era of sixties film in Japan, for the reason that they were not afraid to produce realistic movies that addressed society's problems.
In particular, the Japanese director Nagisa Oshima was someone who Chan looked up to and thought of when directing "Made in Hong Kong".
Chan's credits include "Durian Durian".
Also, Stanley Kwan stated that he was talking with Lee's family to make a movie about the late action movie icon.
Further, in April, Chinese state media announced that its national broadcaster started filming a 40-part TV series on Bruce Lee to promote Chinese culture for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.

Made in Hong Kong (film)
Made in Hong Kong( 香港製造) is a 1997 Hong Kong drama film written and directed by Fruit Chan, executive produced and produced by Andy Lau and starring Sam Lee, Yim Hui- Chi, Wenders Li, and Tam Ka- Chuen.
It won the Best Picture Award at the 1998 Hong Kong Film Awards along with 13 other wins and 6 nominations.
The film was selected as the Hong Kong entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 71st Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
Much of the film is set in subsidised housing projects, which Chan considered to be' a very Hong Kong thing' due to the high population density of the region.
Though the film is sometimes regarded as a response to the 1997 Hong Kong handover, Chan feels that" Made in Hong Kong" can also be viewed as a character- driven drama that reflects the lifestyle of many young Hong Kong people at the time.
The film is made from leftover film reels and as such has a very low cost of production, even for an independent movie.
