Congratulations on the immense success of Detective Chinatown 1900, the fourth suspense-comedy movie in the Detective Chinatown franchise created by Mr. Chen Si Cheng, now one of the top 3 ten-billion renminbi directors.

Set in San Francisco’s Chinatown in 1900, the movie follows the comical adventures of the “Chinatown Detective Duo”. The movie authentically recreates the San Francisco of 1900, with steam trains and horse-drawn carriages, transporting the audience back over a century. The story highlights historical issues faced by Chinese labourers, including discrimination and hardship. Notably, the movie culminates in a powerful scene where Mr. Chow Yun Fat advocates for justice for the Chinese community, showcasing his impressive acting skills.

Mr. Chow is one of the veteran entertainment clients of our senior consultant Prof. Kenny Wong. Prof. Wong has been handling nearly all of Mr. Chow’s entertainment project contracts for over three decades, including Detective Chinatown 1900. He is the trusted legal advisor of many A-list Hong Kong artists and directors.
