Savage Grace for the Year of the Dragon!

Its been way too long since I posted a blog, but I have many fine excuses! We've been in the process of moving our B&E offices from Sheung Wan to a new 3000 square foot facility in Cheung Sha Wan.

This houses our production offices, our Reel East movie memorabilia operation and a kung fu training area that also doubles as a photo studio/rehearsal area/you name it.

Space is at a premium in Hong Kong, so I feel we're blessed to have so much of it!

After we inherited the movie marketing materials from the classic Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, D and B and Movie Impact libraries, we set up www.reeleast.com to share these cinematic treasures with the world.

Its been great to see how our fellow fans around the globe have been keen to get original posters and lobby cards from their favourite films. I take a special joy in spreading the word, given that, when I was a fan, the studios, and especially Golden Harvest, guarded this stuff so jealously! Please take a look at the site, which is constantly being updated with new items, and also our affiliated magazine site (http://reeleastmag.com/).

We will also be holding special events to promote this rich legacy of Hong Kong cinema. The first of these was a seminar on Tsui Hark's 'Once Upon A Time In China', which featured a surprise guest, cinematographer supreme Chris Doyle.

Our next will be Savage Grace (see flyer text at the top of the page), which will be held at A Gallery on Mee Lun Street this Thursday (the 9th) at 8pm.

We'll be exhibiting some classic artwork posters from the golden age of kung fu cinema, I'll be giving a brief talk (zzzz), we'll be screening some classic trailers and there'll be a couple of noteworthy guests.

If you can't make it on the 9th, fret not, the exhibition will be on display at our 'Fu Factory' in Block E, 1st Floor, Cheong Fat Factory Building, 346, Fuk Wing Street, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong. You are welcome to come and check out the world's largest collection of commercially available Hong Kong movie memorabilia at any time.

If you have any queries, please contact Paul Verron at [email protected].

Elsewhere in the building, our friendly helpful staff are ready to serve you...

As ever, a lot is happening on our 'day job' of film production, and I'll write more on that separately.

British-born Bey Logan began his professional career as a magazine writer and editor, editing the martial arts magazine Combat for five years before launching the action film publication Impact. A long-time Hong Kong cinema aficionado, he had his first hands on experience of the industry when he line produced the film Guns And Roses, which was shot on location in the UK and Paris.

Bey later relocated to Hong Kong, where he wrote the screenplays for the films ‘White Tiger’ and ‘Ballistic Kiss’. During the same period, he authored ‘Hong Kong Action Cinema’, a narrative history of the genre, and made his martial arts movie debut as a kung fu fighting bad guy in the Yuen Biao/Donnie Yen vehicle Circus Kids.

In 1998, he joined the Media Asia film company, where he wrote and co-produced two documentaries, ‘Jackie Chan: My Story’ and ‘Jackie Chan: My Stunts’. He went on to write the English dialogue scenes for the film ‘Gen-X Cops’, and was a co-writer on its sequel, ‘Gen-Y Cops’.

In 2001, Bey joined the Emperor Multimedia Group, where he wrote the script for the US$40m Jackie Chan vehicle ‘The Medallion’ and co-produced the action comedy ‘The Twins Effect’.

In 2003, Bey formed his own production company, Shankara Productions, in partnership with actress Maggie Q. He was also engaged to serve as Hong Kong representative for the international sales agency Arclight Films, and oversaw the distribution of several features, including Jackie Chan’s ‘New Police Story’. As a sideline, Bey provided commentaries and other bonus features for the Asian films released on the UK’s Hong Kong Legends label.

Bey has also made occasional acting appearances in Hong Kong television and films, most memorably in Donnie Yen’s Fist Of Fury series and Dante Lam’s Naked Ambition, and has been the subject of several TV documentaries, including Made In Hong Kong and Six Degrees Of Separation.

In 2006, he co-produced the US$5m Hong Kong action thriller ‘Dragon Squad’, starring Michael Biehn, Sammo Hung and Maggie Q.

On the 1st of October, 2005, Bey joined the Weinstein Company as Vice-president of Asian Acquisitions and Co-production.

Three years later, he left TWC to form B&E Productions. This Cheung Sha Wan-based multimedia company has so far produced the action thriller 'The Blood Bond: Shadowguard' and the sports action comedy 'Beach Spike!'. Bey was also a producer on the 3D animated feature 'Little Gobie'.

Late 2010 sees Logan premiere his lecture series, 'Way of Bey', and the publication of his first novel, 'The Blood Bond'.

In 2011, Bey made his directorial debut with the edgy period actioner 'Snowblade'.

The following year, B&E launched a movie memorabilia company, Reel East, to make official merchandise from classic Hong Kong films available to the fans.

In 2012, B&E worked with the Paris-based Aeternalis film company to produce the action-packed thriller 'Borderland'.

Bey lives and works in Hong Kong, practices Tibetan Buddhism, Hung Kuen kung fu and Chen Tai Chi and has five children: four sons, Ryan, Calvin, Kyle and Sean, and a daughter, Taia.
