Biography
Longman Leung Lok-man (梁樂民) is a Hong Kong filmmaker and screenwriter born March 23, 1972. He began his career as a set designer, transitioning into art direction on three major films: Bug Me Not! (2005), Connected (2008), and The Legend Is Born: Ip Man (2010). His breakthrough came in 2012 when he co-directed Cold War with Sunny Luk, a collaboration that earned both Best Director and Best Screenplay honours at the 32nd Hong Kong Film Awards. The creative partnership continued through two action thrillers: Helios (2015) and Cold War 2 (2016), before the duo separated. Cold War 2 became the ninth highest-grossing domestic film in Hong Kong cinema history. Leung pursued a solo directorial path with Anita (2021), which secured a Best Director nomination at the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards and claimed the eighth spot on Hong Kong's all-time box-office chart. As an Aries, Leung embodies the sign's reputation for pioneering new territory in genre filmmaking. His life-path number 9 suggests a career arc of completion and legacy-building—moving from technical craftsmanship to directorial vision. Screenwriters shape visual narratives through dialogue and structure, roles Leung has mastered across solo and collaborative formats.
