繁體中文

梁鼐銘祖籍廣東新會,在香港出生,父親梁善勳為利舞臺經理,他自幼便隨父親出入戲院,對放映與觀影環境耳濡目染。1978年,他畢業於香港中文大學政治與公共行政學系,其後曾短暫任職佳藝電視市場部,電視台結業後轉入華星娛樂有限公司,主責大專會堂的場地租賃事務。此後他回到華星本部參與表演節目管理,繼而涉足西方影片的發行與排期,開始接觸電影業,並曾任翡翠電影製作有限公司出品《青春差館》(1985)的製片。1985年,德寶電影公司向邵氏租用四家龍頭戲院,自組院線,梁鼐銘應聘出任新院線的管理人,並參與創立德寶電影發行公司,主責該四家戲院的營運,同時協助排片、開拓片源。其間他重整戲院的管理架構,把票務、財政與院務分交不同司理專責,落實分權管理,使帳目監控更為清晰。1986年8月新大華戲院加入院線,他同時兼顧該院的管理。在職期間他著力充實片源,一方面發行其他公司製作的電影,例如看準《秦俑》(1990)的話題性,撥出較佳映期,取得不俗票房;另一方面透過發行公司分期借貸,資助其他獨立公司拍片,並參與審批這些拍攝計劃,既衡量成本、演員陣容與娛樂性,也顧及院線形象。1987年公司重組,戲院、院線與海外發行集中由德寶發行公司管理,他因而同時主管影片的海外發行,持續開拓歐洲、南美、中東、東西非與南亞等賣埠市場。1991年末德寶停止院線業務,由永高電影有限公司接手經營,他聯同原來的德寶發行部直接過渡,繼續管理院線。1992年黃百鳴籌組東方院線,他隨黃氏加盟,工作近一年。1993年他轉投中港合資的藝聯傳播娛樂有限公司,在內地發行電視劇集。1998年他應徐小明邀請加入英皇電影專責發行,其後轉職陽光衛視與有線電視,主責電視節目發行及內地頻道開發,並在公司成立驕陽電影有限公司後出任副總裁,主管發行。2009年,他轉任英國廣播公司(BBC)大中華地區的電視頻道發行總監。2004年,他以召集人身份推動成立「香港電視專業人員協會」。

English

Otto Leong, whose family came from Xinhui in Guangdong, was born in Hong Kong, where his father Leung Sinfun managed the Lee Theatre and the boy grew up around cinemas. Graduating in 1978 from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Government and Public Administration, he worked briefly in Commercial Television's marketing department and then joined Capital Artists Limited as booking coordinator of the Academic Community Hall, later moving to the company's headquarters to manage shows and live performances before turning to the distribution and scheduling of Western films. He was production manager on Young Cops (1985) for IP Movie Productions. In 1985, when D & B Films leased four prime theatres from Shaws to form its own circuit, Leong became manager of the new operation and helped establish D & B Film Distributions, running the four houses and arranging releases and new sources of films. He reorganised the theatres' management, separating ticketing and finance from house operations so that accounts were more tightly controlled. He worked hard to enrich the film supply: recognising the topicality of A Terra Cotta Warrior (1990), he gave it a better release slot and it earned strong box office, while his distribution company lent money to independent producers in instalments. After a 1987 reorganisation concentrated theatres, circuit and overseas sales in one company, he also took charge of overseas distribution, opening markets in Europe, South America, the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. When D & B ended its circuit at the end of 1991 and Regal took over, he carried over with the distribution team. In 1992 he joined Raymond Wong's new Mandarin circuit for about a year, then in 1993 moved to the Sino-Hong Kong venture United Media & Entertainment to distribute television series on the mainland. Invited by Tsui Siu-ming, he joined Emperor Motion Picture Ltd. in 1998 to handle distribution, later moving to Sun TV and Cable TV, where he oversaw programme distribution and mainland channel development and became a vice president of Sundream Motion Pictures. In 2009 he became head of distribution for Greater China at BBC Worldwide Channels Asia. In 2004 he convened and helped found the Hong Kong Televisioners Association.

影響與傳承 Impact & Legacy

繁體中文

梁鼐銘長年主理戲院營運與影片發行,在德寶時期重整戲院的分權管理、開拓片源,並把發行網絡伸延至歐美、中東與東南亞等外地市場。他為《秦俑》編排映期而取得票房,說明了院線經理對影片成敗的實際影響。由院線到電視節目與內地頻道發行,他把香港的發行經驗帶到不同媒介,並促成同業組織的成立。

English

Otto Leong spent decades running cinemas and distributing films, and during his D & B years he reorganised the theatres' management, broadened the pool of available films and extended the release network to Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. His handling of A Terra Cotta Warrior showed how powerfully a circuit manager's scheduling could shape a film's fate. Moving between film exhibition, television programming and mainland channel distribution, he carried Hong Kong's distribution know-how across media and helped bring the industry's professionals together in a trade body.
