繁體中文

劉芳祖籍廣西桂林,落籍廣東中山,於澳門出生,原名劉耀星,1913年生。他早年就讀廣州市立美術學校及武昌藝專學校,後轉入廣東國民大學法律系並畢業。大學時他與趙樹泰(趙樹燊之堂弟)為同窗,得其邀請任職大觀聲片有限公司宣傳部,不久開始編劇,首作為《歌女白牡丹》(與楊君俠、陳錦元合編,1939),後升任大觀廠長,主持製片業務。1941年他首次執導《流亡之歌》,深受歡迎。日軍攻佔香港後,他因曾參加抗日活動而被日本人追捕。戰後他曾發行大觀美國分廠的影片,並為香港大觀執導《接財神》(1948)、《幾家歡笑幾家愁》(1950)等。大觀停產後,他與吳回合組永聯影業公司,創業作為《無限恩情無限恨》(1951)。1952年他參與創辦中聯電影企業有限公司,任股東兼製片經理,負責製片。1956年他與陳錦元、胡浪曼合組港聯有限公司,親任編、導、製三職,創業作為《表錯情》(1956)。1958年趙樹泰把前身為大觀片場的鑽石製片廠租予劉芳,他將片廠改名香港電影製片廠,經營至1967年;同年他加入新聯影業公司任製片主任,後升經理。1982年長城、鳳凰、新聯與中原合併為銀都機構有限公司後,他任銀都發行部經理,直至1985年退休。2004年7月15日逝世。他長期在製片崗位統籌拍攝,先後效力大觀、永聯、中聯、港聯、新聯等公司,並自行經營片廠,這種跨公司、跨崗位的經歷在同期電影人中並不多見。劉芳生於澳門、落籍中山、求學於廣州與武昌,其跨地域的經歷亦反映早年香港電影人常往來粵港滬各地的行業生態;他由編劇、廠長到製片與發行,親歷香港國、粵語片工業由戰前到戰後的轉折。

Lau Fong, born Lau Yiu-sing in Macao in 1913 to a family from Guilin, Guangxi and registered in Zhongshan, Guangdong, studied at the Guangzhou Municipal College of Fine Arts and Wuchang Art College before graduating in law from Guangdong National University. On the invitation of his classmate Chiu Shu-tai, cousin of Joseph Sunn, he joined the publicity unit of Grandview Film Company, soon turning to screenwriting with his first credit, Song Girl White Peony (co-written in 1939), and rising to studio head in charge of production. He made his directorial debut in 1941 with the well-received Song of Exile. When Japan occupied Hong Kong he was sought by the Japanese for anti-Japanese activities. After the war he distributed films from Grandview's US branch and directed Welcome the God of Wealth (1948) and Laughter and Tears (1950) for its Hong Kong arm. When Grandview ceased production he formed the Yonglian Film Company with Ng Wui, producing Fathomless Love, Fathomless Hate (1951). In 1952 he became a shareholder and production manager of the Union Film Enterprise, and in 1956 he joined Chan Kam-yuen and Wu Long-man in setting up Hong Kong United, scripting, directing and producing its debut Laughable Mistakes (1956). In 1958 Chiu Shu-tai rented him the Diamond Hill Studio, formerly Grandview's lot, which he renamed the Hong Kong Film Studio and ran until 1967; that year he became production manager of Sun Luen, later its manager. When Great Wall, Feng Huang, Sun Luen and Chung Yuen merged into Sil-Metropole in 1982, he served as distribution manager until retiring in 1985. He died on 15 July 2004.
