Raymond Wong Pak-ming MH (Chinese: 黃百鳴; born 8 April 1946;[1] sometimes transliterated as Raymond Wong Bak-ming) is a Hong Kong film producer, playwright, director and actor. He is one of the most successful producers in Hong Kong cinema, having been one of the comedians to establish Cinema City Studios in 1980.

Media career

In 1980, Wong formed the renowned Cinema City Enterprises Ltd[2] with Karl Maka and Dean Shek. The production company became an industry phenomenon, producing films such as A Better Tomorrow, Aces Go Places, Prison on Fire and All About Ah-Long.[3] Actors such as Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung and Ti Lung along with filmmakers John Woo, Ringo Lam and Tsui Hark were some of the people who rose to fame under the Cinema City label. He played the actor in the comedy ghost series Happy Ghost (開心鬼).

In 1991, the trio broke up, with both Maka and Shek ending their interests in the film industry.

Wong eventually formed Mandarin Films Distribution Co. Ltd. later that year, while continuing to establish himself as a successful film producer. Mandarin went on to produce films such as The Bride with White Hair, Dragon Tiger Gate, and Flash Point, with Wong often serving as an executive producer for the films produced. To this day, the company has produced over 100 films.

In 2009, Wong co-founded Pegasus Entertainment Holdings with his son Edmond.[4]

In 2014, Wong lent his film Hello Babies at a fundraising event held by Silent Majority for Hong Kong, a political group which opposed the Occupy Central with Love and Peace movement.[5][6][7]

On 22 May 2026, Wong was convicted of insider trading during his sale of his controlling stake in Pegasus Entertainment Holdings with his younger sister Jenny Wong buying the shares using his money.[4] His sister made a profit of more than HK$1 million from the trading.[4] On 9 June, Wong was sentenced to five months and fined HK$99,720. He was ordered to pay HK$374,305 to the Securities and Futures Commission for investigation costs additionally.[8]

Personal life

Wong is married to Wong Man-kuen (黃文娟).[9]
