Joyce Lee Huei Hsien (Chinese: 李慧娴; pinyin: Lǐ Huì Xián; born 28 June 1975) is a Singaporean director, executive producer, producer and film distributor. She is the founder of film distribution and production company, Encore Films Pte Ltd.
Career[edit]
In 2003, Lee set up her own film distribution company, Encore Films Pte Ltd[1]. Over the past 14 years, she developed a distribution network for theatrical, TV, VOD and video platforms across Asia territories including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Vietnam. Some of the notable films distributed by Encore Films include the Japanese Death Note film series, Nonstop, The Forbidden Kingdom, Dragon Blade, Hong Kong action blockbuster series Cold War, Attack on Titan I & II as well as Studio Ghibli's animations Ponyo on The Cliff by the Sea and The Wind Rises.[1]. In 2007, Lee started Simply Fun Pte Ltd, one of the leading Blu-ray and video distributors in Singapore.
Lee also hosted Jackie Chan, Adrien Brody, John Cusack, Choi Si-won, Lin Peng and Wang Ruo Xin in Singapore for the Dragon Blade press conference and gala premiere in February 2015[2][3][4][5]. Dragon Blade went on to become one of the Top 10 Asian Films in Singapore in 2015[6]. In July 2016, Lee brought the stars of Cold War 2, Chow Yun Fat, Aaron Kwok and Eddie Peng, to Singapore to promote the film with a press conference and gala premiere held at Marina Bay Sands[7][8][9][10]. Cold War 2 opened strong at the box office [11][12], eventually grossing over S$2 million and becoming one of the Top 10 Asian Films in Singapore in 2016.[13] Other celebrities that Lee has worked with include Ethan Juan (Monga & Paradise in Service)[14], Mark Chao (Monga)[15], Rainie Yang (Spider Lilies)[16], Vic Chou (Linger), Tatsuya Fujiwara (Kaiji 2: The Ultimate Gambler)[17] as well as Kim Ha-neul and Kang Ji-hwan (My Girlfriend Is an Agent).
In 2015, Lee ventured into film production with Young & Fabulous, working on a production budget of S$1.5 million[18]. Lee served as the executive producer and producer and also co-directed the film with Michael Woo. Lee began this project because she wished to make a Singaporean film for the youth[19], and hopes to inspire the youth to bravely pursue their dreams[20]. The film stars Aloysius Pang, Malaysian Joyce Chu, Joshua Tan, Quan Yi Fong, Gurmit Singh, Henry Thia, Jeffrey Xu and Jordan Ng. Lee also engaged Taiwanese composer JerryC to do his first-ever film scoring for Young & Fabulous, after listening to one of his earlier works Canon Rock[21]. Young & Fabulous was released in Singapore on 26 May 2016. It garnered positive audience reviews [22] and grossed over S$1.3 million at the Singapore box office. Young & Fabulous was one of four Singapore movies to cross S$1 million at the box office and was one of the Top 10 Asian Films in Singapore in 2016[6]. The film was subsequently released in Malaysia on 1 September 2016[23], Indonesia on 14 September 2016[24] and Vietnam on 6 April 2017[25]
