鍾國仁(1944年9月10日–),原名區根盛,祖籍廣東中山,九歲已外出謀生,曾在美國獨自生活三年。返港後他投身影圈,為嘉禾出品、林國翔導演的《四二六》(1977)擔任製片並提供故事,影片票房逾一百七十萬港元,排該年華語片票房第十二位。其後他獲邵氏招攬,先後為《四二八》(1978)、《一零八》(1978)及《爛鬼與車頭》(1978,原名《四八九》)出任製片。一九七八年他與鄭麒膺合組海外影業公司,並自任導演,首部作品為《獅子頭玻璃肚》(1978)。此後他再與嘉禾合作,轉拍警匪故事,執導《毒計》(1979)、《風塵》(1980)、《零點三八》(1980)與《凶蠍》(1981),又化名「華仁」執導《六三三》(1979),並在台灣執導《復仇者》(1982)。他的影片多涉黑社會與警匪題材,慣以數字代號作片名,早年被稱為「數目字製片」,執導後則有「數字導演」之稱。除製片與導演外,他亦不時亮相幕前,並在自導的《傷人十七》(1981)中出任主角;後期作品有《殺過界》(1983)、《青蓮青年》(1984)及《9 To 3 靚女登場》(1986)。他在影圈活動至1990年代初,執導作品十餘部,題材環繞黑幫仇殺與警匪追捕,片名多以數字標示,成為1970年代末至80年代港台影壇一個辨識度極高的商業片標記;其作品多在港、台兩地以低成本快速攝製,配合當時盛行的黑幫片熱潮。其子鍾少雄與鍾少棠亦從事電影工作,他並曾在鍾少棠執導的《烈血街頭》(1991)擔任總監督。

Chung Kwok-yan (born 10 September 1944), originally named Au Kan-shing and of Zhongshan ancestry in Guangdong, left home at nine to earn a living and once spent three years on his own in the United States. Returning to Hong Kong, he entered the film industry and served as producer and story provider on Golden Harvest's The 426 (1977), directed by Lam Kwok-cheung, which took more than HK$1.7 million and ranked twelfth among Chinese-language releases that year. Recruited by Shaw Brothers, he then produced The 428 (1978), The 108 (1978) and The 489 (1978). In 1978 he formed the Overseas Film Company with Cheng Kei-ying and turned director, making his debut with The Lion's Head, Glass Belly (1978). Continuing with Golden Harvest he shifted to crime stories, directing The Fatal Plot (1979), Wind and Dust (1980), Zero Point Three Eight (1980) and The Scorpion (1981); under the alias Wah Yan he directed The 633 (1979), and in Taiwan he directed The Avenger (1982). His films often dealt with triad and police subjects and used numbers as titles, earning him first the nickname of the 'number producer' and, once he directed, that of the 'number director'. Besides producing and directing, he frequently appeared on screen and took the lead in his own Ordinance 17 (1981). Later works include Killing Beyond the Line (1983), Teenage Trap (1984) and 9 to 3 (1986), and he remained active in the industry into the early 1990s with a dozen or so directing credits. Both his sons, Chung Siu-hung and Chung Siu-tong, also worked in film, and he served as supervising director on the latter's Blood Street (1991).

English

Chung Kwok-yan titled his films with numbers and, through the late 1970s and 1980s, turned out a run of triad and crime pictures that made him what the Hong Kong and Taiwan trades called the 'number director'. Films such as Ordinance 17, in which he also starred, bear his personal stamp, and both of his sons later entered the film industry.
