History
Win's Movie Production (Hong Kong) Co. Ltd. was formed in 1990 by Charles Heung and his younger brother Jimmy Heung. While the triad's influence on the Hong Kong film industry was growing notorious during the 1980s, Charles decided to form his own production company that would provide a safe refuge. He was quoted for saying that "every film is a battle,"[1] when asked why he named the company Win's. Following its formation, the company went on to become one of Hong Kong's most successful film studios alongside Golden Harvest. Virtually every actor and actress, apart from Jackie Chan, had made a film for the Heungs.
Company history
Win's Entertainment's filmography spans over 10 years, and some of the films it has produced include the God of Gamblers franchise Tricky Brains, the Lee Rock trilogy and the Fight Back to School trilogy. A majority of its films featured some of Hong Kong's most well-known actors including Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow and Ng Man Tat.
In 1992 the Heung brothers ended their partnership and Charles renamed Win's Movie Production (Hong Kong) Co Ltd into Win's Entertainment (Hong Kong) Co Ltd, then renamed into Win's Movie and Television Production (Hong Kong) Co Ltd again.
On 30 December 2010, Ocean Shores Video acquired exclusive Indonesian rights to Arti Sahabat films starting with Arti Sahabat The Movie (co-production with Ocean Shores Video (Hong Kong) Co Ltd)
