Liu Weiqiang, who has a background in photography, has played an important role in Hong Kong movies in recent years.

Born in Hong Kong in 1960. I have been interested in photography since I was a child, and joined Shaw Brothers in 1980 after graduating from high school. The first movie he participated in was Liu Jialiang's "Eighteen Martial Arts", and he worked as a photographer. He officially became a photographer in 1985, and his works include "Dragon and Tiger", "Carmen in Mongkok", etc. He started directing in 1990 and filmed films such as "The Party", "Human Skin Lantern" and "Temple Street Story". In 1995, he formed the Best Partner Film Production Company with Wen Juanjun and Wong Jing. In 1996, he directed Best Partner's venture "Young and Dangerous". As a result, the film achieved great success, and three consecutive "Young and Dangerous" series were produced. All the films entered the top ten grossing films in Hong Kong that year, setting off a boom in the Hong Kong film industry. The "Young and Dangerous" series even had six episodes in a row and has continued to flourish. Liu Weiqiang also entered the ranks of first-line directors in one fell swoop. Since then, he has been unable to stop, and has successively filmed a number of big-budget and blockbuster films. In recent years, he has become a mainstay in revitalizing the Hong Kong film industry, and is especially good at filming movies adapted from comic books and films that use a lot of computer stunts. From 2002 to 2003, the Infernal Affairs trilogy directed by Lau Wai-keung and Mak Siu-fai pushed Lau's career to its peak.
