Please change names

Postby heinz Germany » Thu Jun 18, 2020 9:13 am

Some actors "raised" by Shaw Brothers still have Cantonese Names but SB always credited them in Mandarin, and that is the name when they first gained attention or kind of fame - for example:
Chiu Ming (1) http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng (seems to come from Taiwan though) or
Cheng Lui http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng allways billed as Cheng Lei by Shaws
Wong Chung (1) http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng allways billed as Wang Chung by Shaws
Lau Gong http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng allways billed as Liu Kang by Shaws

and I never got used to "Chen Sing" is called Chan Sing (1) for some unknown reason.
I might have said that allready several years before, too - but now it seems the right time after renaming tons of Cantonese Cast/Crew this year (and after switching Tien Feng, Wang Hsieh and other SB actors)
to be continued..

Chiu Hung (1) http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng as Chao Hsiung

Lau Wing is still active in movies. He can appear in more movies until 2040 as "Lau Wing".

If nobody objects, I want to change the following producers' names:
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=14809
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=14810
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=19514

They were always credited, without exception (at least any that I could find looking through both film credits and physical promotional materials) as Yeo Ban Yee, Yeo Ban Goh and Choo Kok Leong. (There's also this one: http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=14808 but he was credited as both Yeo Ban Ann and Yeo Ban Aun, so I need to do some more searching to determine which is the more common name.)

Gwok Hui Lee Leng > Lilian H. Kuo

"Lilian H. Kuo" is her only English credit. Also, I will delete the alias "John Kwok" that was somehow mistakenly attributed to her.
