China Star Entertainment Limited (Traditional Chinese: 中國星集團公司) is a Hong Kong film production company and film distributor. It was established in 1992 by film producer Charles Heung, and has been known as a huge distributor and film producer of films made mostly in Cantonese.
China Star Entertainment Group was established in 1992 by Charles Heung, who is the studio's CEO chairman, with his wife, Tiffany Chen, serving as Vice Chairman and administrative producer.
China Star Entertainment and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the production and distribution of Cantonese-language films and television drama series, many of which have won various awards. The company has also engaged in the provision of artists management services and post-production services.
In the past few years, China Star has successfully re-organized itself as a well-established entertainment, multimedia, production and distribution enterprise. In the course of this development, China Star strives hard to establish an excellent reputation as a powerful film producer and international film distributor.
China Star's film catalogue spans over ten years, and it has produced various films, of which most of them earned critical acclaim and scored a resounding success at the box office. Some films include Cannes competition flick Election and its sequel, Election 2 (a.k.a. Triad Election), fantasy actioner Black Mask, the chiller My Left Eye Sees Ghosts and Chinese New Year special Fat Choi Spirit. These and other movie titles, a majority of which were produced during the past ten years, feature some of Hong Kong's most cinematic icons, including Jet Li, Andy Lau, Simon Yam, Sammi Cheng, Gigi Leung, Lau Ching-Wan, Louis Koo, Cherrie Ying and Cecilia Cheung.
