王植波(1924–1964),上海人,先後取得上海聖約翰大學文學士及東吳大學法學士學位。他自幼習字,鑽研書法,出版《中國各種書法》、《毛筆筆觸鋼筆字》、《鋼筆字帖》等多種專著,並應金庸之請,為創辦之初的《明報》題寫報頭,字體沿用至今,隨報紙發行流傳數十年,成為香港報業中為人熟悉的字體之一。1952年他首次為電影編寫劇本《王魁與桂英》,由1952年至1964年,先後替永華、新華、邵氏等公司撰寫約十二個劇本,題材涵蓋文藝、戲曲與都市生活,作品包括《春天不是讀書天》(1954)、《碧血黃花》(與司徒明、狄薏合編,1954)和《楊貴妃》(1962)等,其中《楊貴妃》由李翰祥執導,是邵氏當年的重頭製作。五十年代起,他加入國際電影懋業(電懋)的製片部門,做到製片主任,長期掌管公司的製片與劇本統籌,同時為國泰屬下公司編寫七個劇本,例如《風雨牛車水》(1956)、《娘惹與峇峇》(1956)、《寶蓮燈》(1964)和《聊齋誌異》(1965)。他亦曾以演員身分參演《兒女英雄傳》(1959)及話劇《清宮怨》。1964年6月20日,他隨老闆陸運濤率領的代表團赴台,參加第十一屆亞洲影展後,在台中神岡的空難中與陸運濤等多名港台影人一同罹難,終年四十歲。這場空難令電懋痛失骨幹,公司其後由陸運濤妹夫朱國良繼承,並於1965年改組為國泰機構(香港)有限公司;他的遺作《女人女人》於1967年公映。妻子翁木蘭(1927–1998)是畫家兼演員。

English

Wang Zhibo (1924–1964) was born in Shanghai and earned an arts degree from St. John's University and a law degree from Soochow University. A practised calligrapher who published several books on the art, he was invited by Louis Cha to brush the masthead of Ming Pao at the newspaper's founding, and it is still used today. He wrote his first screenplay, for a 1952 film, and between 1952 and 1964 drafted about a dozen scripts for Yung Hwa, Hsin Hwa and Shaw Brothers, among them Spring is in the Air (1954), The 72 Martyrs of Canton (co-written, 1954) and Yang Kwei-Fei, the Magnificent Concubine (1962). From the 1950s he joined the production department of MP & GI, rising to production supervisor and overseeing its scripting, while penning seven more scripts for Cathay affiliates such as Rain Storm in Chinatown (1956), Nonya and Baba (1956), The Magic Lamp (1964) and Fairy, Ghost, Vixen (1965). He also appeared as an actor in The Heroine (1959) and in the stage play Sorrows of the Qing Court. On 20 June 1964 he died in the air crash at Shenkang, Taiwan, together with studio chief Loke Wan Tho and other film figures; his last script, Passion, reached the screen in 1967. His wife, Weng Mulan (1927–1998), was a painter and actress.

繁體中文

王植波把書法素養帶進電影文字工作,1952至1964年間為永華、新華、邵氏及國泰合共編寫近二十個劇本,並長期掌管電懋製片部門;他為金庸題寫的《明報》報頭沿用至今。1964年神岡空難令電懋痛失製片與劇本統籌的骨幹。

English

Wang Zhibo brought his calligraphic craft into film writing, drafting nearly twenty scripts for Yung Hwa, Hsin Hwa, Shaw Brothers and Cathay between 1952 and 1964 and long overseeing MP & GI's production department; the Ming Pao masthead he brushed for Louis Cha is still in use, and the 1964 Shenkang crash robbed Cathay of a production and scripting mainstay.
