简介

Lee Lik Chi, nicknamed Da Li, is a Hong Kong film director, screenwriter, and actor born on May 10, 1961. He grew up in Hong Kong after his family moved from Dongguan. He started his career as an assistant director at Asia Television before moving to TVB, where he gained fame through his work with Stephen Chow. He became part of the "Golden Duo" in Hong Kong comedy cinema, directing several successful films with Stephen Chow in the 1990s. However, after "Shaolin Soccer" in 2001, he stopped collaborating with Stephen Chow amid rumors of disagreements. His subsequent films saw a significant decline in quality, drawing harsh criticism from audiences. In 2018, he attempted to direct a sequel to "King of Comedy" but received a letter from Stephen Chow's production company accusing him of copyright infringement, leading to the project's cancellation and his apology. He also served as a Smile Ambassador at the awards ceremony in 2010-2011 and became a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Zhaoqing in 2015.
