Biography |
|
One of the paramount directors of the Taiwanese martial arts genre in the 1970s, Kuo was born as Kuo Qing-chi in the 1935 Tainan. He joined the Asia Film and Drama Training Course in 1957 to study scriptwriting and directing, then worked in the film industry subsequently. His screenwriting debut was the Taiwanese-dialect film Gui Hu, and his directorial debut was Gu Hen Cheng which he also wrote. He and fellow helmer Lin Fu-di were heralded as the most distinguished directors in the Neo-Taiwan cinema.
Kuo has made films across many genres including romance, period martial arts films, Kung Fu action films and cop films. He is most well known for his Wuxia Kung Fu films and is one of the leading Wuxia directors in Taiwan in the 70s. His film, King of Swords, broke the box office record as the highest grossing Taiwanese film in Hong Kong. It earned him the nickname of “Million Dollar Director”. His films are not only well known for being very popular but also for having a unique and fresh style – the result of his strong imagination. He is currently still working in China and Hong Kong and is preparing to make his next film.
He then joined Li Han-hsiang’s Grand Motion Picture Company in 1966 and directed When Dreams Come True and Love Is More Intoxicating Than Wine. The Swordsman Of All Swordsmen, starring Shang-kuan Ling Feng and Tien Peng, was one of the defining works of Kuo as well as the Taiwanese-dialect martial arts genre.
Kuo joined Shaw Brothers in1970 and helmed Mission Impossible and The Mighty One for the studio. He later adapted the classic film Shaolin Wooden Men to become the phenomenal The 18 Bronzemen.
Kuo remains active in the film industry, and is currently the Permanent Honorary Chairman of the Movie Producers and Distributors Association of Hong Kong.
