繁體中文

陳永銘祖籍廣東潮安,1927年4月13日在新加坡出生,六歲才隨父母回鄉。因日軍侵華、歸途受阻,加上父親在外地經商身故,舉家寄居外公家。他自小有音樂天分,尤喜鼓樂;後來家道中落,被舅父賣作潮劇學徒,隨師學習潮劇音樂與表演。母親去世後,他在鄉間加入正明順潮劇團,妹妹陳麗娟亦入團,兩人同為台柱,間中兼演傀儡戲。因戰亂,他與妹妹於1940年代末隨劇團移居香港,在普慶、高陞、太平、東樂等戲院演出,成為香港最早的潮劇班霸;在他主理下,劇團又應邀到香港仔、慈雲山、東頭邨、觀塘等地演出。1950年代中,他認識新加入的演員李綠絨並結為夫婦,其後與妻子、妹妹一同加入東山潮音劇藝社,1960年任該社《劉明珠三審玉芝蘭》的策劃,並為萬聲出品的潮語片《蘆林會》(1960)負責音樂與作曲。東山影業公司與該社長期合作後,東山出品多由他主理音樂,包括《蓮香戲鞋》(1960)、《井邊會》(1961)、《火燒陳友諒》(1961)、《滴水記》(1962)、《望江亭》(1962)、《彩鳳呈祥》(1962)、《田七郎》(1962)、《白艷紅》(1963)、《擲嬌媚》(1963)、《文武香球》(1963)、《西廂記》(1964)與《芙蓉仙子》(1964);他也曾在《龍虎群英會》(1963)客串。除潮語片外,他為邵氏國語黃梅調電影的潮語版本擔任配樂、作曲及編曲。六、七十年代他續在新天藝、新樂聲、昇藝等潮劇團工作,並赴泰國、新加坡演出;新天藝開辦時他更教授曲藝,培養本地潮劇接班人。1980年5月17日他在香港逝世。

English

Chan Wing-ming was a native of Chao'an, Guangdong, born in Singapore on 13 April 1927 and brought back to Chao'an at six. With travel cut off by the Japanese invasion and his father having died on a business trip, the family moved in with his maternal grandfather. Musically gifted and fond of percussion, he was sold as an apprentice to a Chaozhou opera troupe when the family declined. After his mother's death he joined the Zhengmingshun Chaozhou Opera Troupe, in which his younger sister Chan Lai-kuen also performed, the two becoming its pillars. In the late 1940s they moved to Hong Kong with the troupe, playing at the Astor, Ko Shing, Tai Ping and Prince's theatres and becoming the city's earliest top Chaozhou troupe. In the mid-1950s he married fellow performer Lee Luk-yung, and the couple and his sister joined the Dongshan Chaozhou Music Company, for which he planned the 1960 production A Pair of Carved Jade and handled the music for The Innocent (1960). As a long-term partner of Tung Shan Film Co., he was responsible for the music of most of its films, among them Meeting by the Well (1961), Setting Fire to Chen Youliang (1961), The Story of Splashed Water (1962), The Riverside Pavilion (1962) and Romance of the West Chamber (1964). He also dubbed Shaw Brothers' Mandarin huangmei diao films into Chaozhou. Through the 1960s and 70s he worked with troupes such as Xintianyi, Xinlesheng and Shengyi and toured Thailand and Singapore, and he taught music to a new generation when Xintianyi was formed. He died in Hong Kong on 17 May 1980.
