張任貴,廣東潮陽人,新天彩潮劇團班主張木津長兄的兒子。他自幼與弟弟張任城在戲班裡成長學藝,戰後隨兩位叔叔張木生(又名張大堃)和張木津來港,自六十年代開始隨新天彩演出潮語戲曲片。潮語戲曲片是香港戰後方言片的一支,由潮劇班與製片公司合作,把舞台劇目搬上銀幕,新天彩正是其中主要的演出班底。從影初期他在《後母心》(1960)、《蘆林會》(1960)、《掃窗會》(1961)、《包公會李后》(1961)、《恩仇記》(1962)等片中擔任舞台指導;在《釵頭鳳》(1961)更同時兼任舞台指導、音樂伴奏與演員。其後他在《嚴蘭貞敲破玉花瓶》(1962)任音樂員,同年在《薛剛反唐》(1962)、《潮州女狀元》(1962)兼任舞台指導與演員。1962年起他漸漸專任演員,多演丑角,參演《碧玉簪》(1962)、《青霜劍》(1962)、《李子長活畫》(1963)、《元宵案》(1964)、《萬里尋夫骨》(1964)、《芙蓉仙子》(1964)、《雙起解》(1965)、《二歲夫》(1965)、《洛神》(1966)、《薛丁山與樊梨花》(1967)、《三反獄》(1967)、《海瑞罷官》(1967)等。他以演反派為主,在《碧玉簪》與《青霜劍》中反串媒婆,在《雙起解》飾演的解差戲份尤重,演活了一個貪得無厭、欺善怕惡的人物。除了銀幕演出,他亦隨劇團參與潮劇唱片的錄音製作。他共參與三十多部潮語片,在音樂、舞台指導與演出上都有投入。

English

Cheung Yam-kwai, a native of Chaoyang, Guangdong, was the son of the elder brother of Cheung Muk-chun, leader of the Xintiancai Chaozhou Opera Troupe. He grew up in the troupe with his younger brother Cheung Yam-shing and both were apprentices; after the War of Resistance against Japan he came to Hong Kong with his two uncles, Cheung Muk-sang (also known as Cheung Tai-kwan) and Cheung Muk-chun. From the 1960s he acted in Chaozhou-dialect opera films with Xintiancai, working as stage director on The Stepmother (1960), A Wronged Daughter-in-Law (1960), Unchanged Hearts (1961), Judge Bao's Encounter with the Deposed Empress (1961) and Justice and Revenge (1962). On Phoenix Ornament (1961) he was at once stage director, music accompanist and co-star, and he was a music accompanist on Madam Lan Ching (1962) before taking combined stage-director and acting credits on two 1962 titles. From 1962 he concentrated on acting, mostly as a comic and villainous character: The Misplaced Love-Token and The Sword of Emerald Frost (both 1962), Fairy Pearl (1963), The Murder Case During the Lantern Festival, An Arduous Search for Husband's Remains and Hibiscus Fairy (all 1964), Mantrap and Two-Year-Old Husband (1965), The Nymph of River Lo (1966), The Heroic Pair (1967), The Escapees and The Execution (1967). He played a female matchmaker in two of these films and a greedy prisoner escort in Mantrap. In all he appeared in more than thirty Chaozhou-dialect films, and he also joined the troupe in making Chaozhou opera recordings.
