Added: some aliases, editor, cinema, sound, ass.dir x 2, music,


Not added: loads of cast members I couldn't find, writer, ass.dir x 1, art, makeup, lyrics,


Query: Is Lu Wei = Lo Wai (2) really the same person that wrote Farewell My Concubine? Suspicious.


Damn, this is harder than it looks!

if nobody stops me in 15 days, I will merge them.

Finally Lu Wei is not Lu Wai (2), but Liu Wai (1). Changed. :P

This is not the first time I see that new added names are only added with their Mandarin name at the view in English (example: Huang Ya Da).
I think it is better to add also the Cantonese name.

The English "name" (romanization) should be whatever is most commonly seen credited, or editor's best judgement.

Yes. I gave them mandarin names because they are new persons in our Db and they are credited in mandarin in the english romanization.

Mr. Kistner wants the cantonese name romanization in the english alias because I think he does his searches in cantonese translation. No problem.

Thanks. I search always first the Cantonese names, but after that failed I try it also with the Mandarin names (but they are more difficult for me most of the time).
