Alan Tang Kwong-Wing (20 September 194629 March 2011) was a Hong Kong film actor, Film producer and Film director. Tang was part of the "Silver Rat Squad" (銀色鼠隊), a 1970s pop band formed in Hong Kong.
His secondary education was at the New Method College. After graduation, he received a full scholarship to the University of Hong Kong Law School. He deferred his acceptance to pursue an acting career.
Upon graduation from secondary school, Tang acted in Hong Kong youth films starring Josephine Siao, Chen Chen, and Connie Chan Po-chu throughout the 1960s. Tang was often voted "Best Male Actor" by film magazines.
Tang found fame when he moved to Taiwan during the 1970s, where he had made over 60 feature films. The films he made were often dramas and Romance film, where he would often pair off with Brigitte Lin in such films as Run Lover Run.
It was reported that Tang made a salary of HK$150,000 per picture because of his popularity. In one 1974 article, Tang said that he was working on six movies at the same time; however, he only worked on one film a day and that made it difficult for producers. In 1974, Tang not only starred in The Splendid Love in Winter with Chen Chen, but he also produced it. Also that same year, the film Dynamite Brothers was released, co-starring with American Football hero Timothy Brown and James Hong. Tang continued his popular film career in both Hong Kong and Taiwan in the late 1970s. In 1977, Tang starred in director John Lo Mar's romance movie Impetuous Fire with up-and-coming teenage star Candice Yu. The movie was primarily shot in Macau, which opened up Tang's business ventures there.
Later in 1977, he formed the production company, The Wing-Scope Company.
With Tang working in Taiwan and his girlfriend at the time (Janet Yim) in Hong Kong, the pair had occasional difficulties, especially since the press reported their every move. Tang and Janet, however, remained together, in spite of living under constant scrutiny.
In 1987, Tang established another production company, In-Gear Film Production Co., Ltd., working alongside his brother, producer/presenter Rover Tang, and continued to produce and act in films, establishing himself as an action star. He appeared in a number of films—generally of the Triad society genre—such as Flaming Brothers, Gangland Odyssey, Return Engagement, Gun n' Rose and The Black Panther Warriors. He has also produced two films directed by Wong Kar-wai-- As Tears Go By and Days of Being Wild.
Wong's current nostalgic artsy style took shape during his apprenticeship with Tang, who invested in the first movie Wong directed, As Tears Go By. Wong's career took off when he directed the film Days of Being Wild in 1990, despite Tang losing millions of invested dollars.
On 29 March 2011, Tang died in his home in Ho Man Tin at around 9 pm from a heart attack.
