Alan Tang Kwong-wing (1946–2011) was born in Guangzhou to the family that owned the Tai Ping cinema there, and grew up in Mong Kok. In 1963 he sat the casting call for the film The Student Prince and was chosen from more than a thousand applicants, earning the nickname 'Student Prince'. In the 1970s he made more than thirty romantic films in Taiwan opposite stars such as Chen Chen, Brigitte Lin and Joan Lin, becoming a major Chinese screen idol. Returning to Hong Kong in 1977 he founded the Dung Wing film company, whose gangland stories about loyalty and brotherhood included A Man Should Never Give Up, The Truth and Flaming Brothers. In 1987 he set up Movie Impact; the screenplay of Flaming Brothers was written by Wong Kar-wai, whose talent he spotted and whose As Tears Go By and Days of Being Wild he then financed. Days of Being Wild cost HK$40 million and took only HK$9 million, a heavy loss for him, yet it won Best Film and other top prizes at the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards. He faded from the industry after 1993 and died of heart disease in March 2011, aged 64.
