(41) One of the most successful Hong Kong movie studios in the 90s. Founded in 1994, Media Asia (寰亞) was at first appointed by Richard Li's (李澤楷) STAR TV (衛星電視) to distribute STAR TV's Chinese film library, among of which included the Golden Harvest (嘉禾), Cinema City (新藝城) and D&B (德寶) films. Later MA started to make movies by financing through partnership, probably one of the pioneers in Hong Kong. Jackie Chan (成龍) and Peter Lam's (林建岳) participation drove MA to higher skies, with notable blockbusters like Gen-X-Cops (特警新人類), Infernal Affairs (無間道) trilogy and Initial D (頭文字D). Media Asia's commercial success may inspire Emperor Motion Pictures (英皇電影), with which Jackie Chan would collaborate later. Johnnie To's (杜琪峯) Milkyway Image (銀河映像) is frequently seen producing MA films.
