有演技的骚星刘琦

从静婷在乐蒂的影片 [杀人的情书] 中所唱的一首 [你在何方] ,使人想起了在片中唱这首歌的刘琦。刘琦有一双凤眼,很媚,很性感。她的声音富磁性,唱歌时尤其显示出这个特点。她的身材惹火。整个形象就是尤物型的。刘琦不曾演过脱戏,在四,五十年代,还没有人有范丽,于倩,狄娜她们的胆量。刘琦纵然不演脱戏,但已经有足够的风情,让人给她冠上 [东方玛丽莲梦露] 的称号。

其实,刘琦算是有演技的。她生于1921年,16岁便开始演舞台剧。1947年演了第一部电影 [天堂春梦] ,主角是路明和上官云珠。隔年,她和[千面人] 严俊合演了 [出卖影子的人] 而成名。后来,她和严俊再结戏缘,合演改编自 [原野] 的 [夜归人]。演瞎婆子的是唐若青。这部片子虽无缘重睹,不过,单看演员阵容,便可知道演出有多精彩。

1948年,刘琦到了香港。演过主角戏的她,却一时间没有主角戏可演。当时,主角戏都落在李丽华,白光,周曼华,欧阳莎菲等人的身上,刘琦只能充当这些人的副车。其中,她和李丽华合作的最多,如 [ 碧云天],[勾魂艳曲],[仲夏夜之恋],[春情烈火],[风萧萧] 和 [寒蝉曲],刘琦都有份演出。其余如白光的 [歌女红菱艳] 和 [香姐儿],周曼华的 [彩凤还巢]和 [丈夫日记],欧阳莎菲的 [慾魔] 和 [孽缘] ,还有陈云裳复出的 [月儿弯弯照九洲],刘琦都榜上有名。

她的运气在1955年改观。先是演了一齣名著改编的 [传统],与王豪和王莱大斗演技。这部片子出了一首白郎作曲,徐訏作词的北方小调 [小奴奴],由张伊雯演唱。

后来,刘琦获得亚洲公司的赏识,以主角身份一连演了两部戏:古装的 [杨娥] 和时装的 [半下流社会]。前者由罗维和当时还没红起来的钟情合演。刘琦在片中使出浑身解数,还耍了一场类似杂技的火流星。[ 半下流社会] 则请来了当时很热衷于拍华语片的粤语片影帝张瑛,同刘琦合作。结果,这两部片成为刘琦从影以来最得意的作品。

差不多同时期,刘琦还在古装片里反串小生,与葛兰合演 [唐伯虎与秋香]。这是葛兰早期还没加入电懋前的影片。在这最辉煌的时期,刘琦被邀到新马随片登台。携带的影片就是 [唐伯虎与秋香]。由于反应热烈,刘琦流连新马一个很长的时间,大有舍不得走之势,直到最后票房转弱了,她才回到香港。可是,当她回去之后,她才发现影坛新人辈起,已达徐娘之龄的她,已经没人找她演戏了。

1958,59年,刘琦在香港只演了三部片:林翠的 [流浪儿],钟情的 [欲海情花] 和乐蒂的 [杀人的情书]。三部片都演配角。钟情还是刘琦在 [杨娥] 中带过的新人,如今却反过来演主角。[杀人的情书]导演是李翰祥,早期,李翰祥还没成为导演,曾经和刘琦演过电影 [雾香港],算是旧相识,于是拉了她一把,为刚加入邵氏的乐蒂配戏。刘琦在戏里分量不多,不过,影评人当时对她的演出都加以赞美,说她还有一点内心戏。不过,她拍完这部戏之后,从此就在影坛上销声匿迹。艳星纵有演技,无奈大势已去,也无心再留恋了。

刘琦在新马登台时,最拿手的歌曲是白虹原唱的 [我要你]。她的歌声低沉,比白光的还要低,在香港时,也曾灌录过几张唱片,较流行的歌曲是 [我的心中只有你] ([咖啡的诱惑] 插曲),[腻舞翩翩] ([ 彩凤还巢] 插曲)和 [小鸟]。在 [唐伯虎与秋香] 里,有一首 [荡湖船] 本来是老汉米田共摇船的时候唱的,后来,唱片公司把它单挑出来,改由女声董佩佩唱出,也算是董佩佩的流行曲目之一。

Kun,

I believe there is a typing error.
刘琦在片中"驶"出浑身解数. I hope you can fix it. Thanks.

I couldn't find a picture on line. If I can find one, I will post it here. Thanks for writing an article about 刘琦.

Chris 友,

我打不開敏華CD的連接, 我猜想這張光碟應該是2009年在台灣推出的【春盡翠湖寒】專輯, 里頭有兩首敏華的歌曲。第一首是【春盡翠湖寒】主題曲,第二首是邵氏電影【落花時節】的主題曲。

張清清的【你我他】的幕後代唱是姚蘇蓉和劉家昌, 作曲是左宏元。

我沒有巫美玲的消息, 我猜想她應該還在新加坡吧 ? 錕兄可能會知道喔! 除了【午夜香吻】, 巫美玲廣為人知的歌曲有【情海】,【多少柔情多少淚】,很有南洋味的【印度情歌】。她也唱過一些西洋譯曲如【別在星期天】, 【爸爸愛媽媽】和【音樂之聲】。

張清真的招牌歌曲是【月光小夜曲】。除此之外, 我還聽過她的【小妞情歌】和【獻壽歌】

去年台灣的聯邦電影公司推出一糸列的老電影DVD, 至今我巳重看了【情人的眼淚】,【雲山夢回】及【窗】。好友也送了一大堆武俠片。當年會念念不忘【情人的眼淚】和【雲山夢回】也是為了電影里的插曲。

下午收到朋友的簡訊告知前邵氏女星方盈昨日中午不幸因胰臟癌病逝世於香港一間醫院,終年64歲。很懷念她的【蘭姨】和【寒煙翠】。

錕兄,

謝謝你幫我補充了鄘玉玲的歌曲資料。

Chris Tan said...

戲精友,

You were right about the link that I sent to you about the CD of 敏華.

You mentioned about this movie 【窗】where the leading actress is
王靜君 . Is this the ONLY movie that she made?

I also believe that there are two artiste by the name of 陳麗麗. One of them is the actress of Shaw Brothers who married to Taiwanese singer 青山. The other 陳麗麗 is the Taiwanese actress. Am I right?

It is sad to hear about the passing of 邵氏女星方盈.

Regards,
Chris Tan

Kun said...

Chris, 戏精:

[你我他] 由杨群,张清清,李璇合演。三首插曲是:1。 你我他 (刘家昌唱)
2。 不得了(刘家昌,姚苏蓉都唱过)
3。 脸儿红心儿笑 (姚苏蓉唱)
戏和歌都叫人难忘。

巫美玲尚在新加坡,听说近况不佳。据我所知,[多少柔情多少泪] (Summer Kisses Winter Tears) 是她先唱的。

方盈的逝世何其早。想起她的 [寒烟翠] 及片中的插曲 [苦情花],真的不堪回首当年。

亚锟

Chris Tan said...

Kun & 戲精,

When you mentioned this song [苦情花],it reminds me of the original singer, Jiang Hung. But I don't think his voice is quite suitable for this song. His voice is more suitable for Huang Mei Teow.

If this song were sung by 洪鐘, it might be better. 洪鐘 has a very soft and soothing voice. What do you think?

Do you agree that both 张清真 and 巫美玲 are both famous for their SONGS but not their names?

Another old movie that I like is
a movie by the two leading actresses 紀寶如 and 李湘. I forgot the title but the theme songs are good.

Best regards,
Chris Tan

戲精 said...

Chris 友,

黃淑芬是60年代台灣女歌星。是美黛,威莉, 張琪, 敏華等人同期的歌手。

http://www.plunder.com/Huang-Su-Fern-JPG-download-3fd888e2c1.htm

除了時代曲, 她也幕後代唱了電影《橋》, 《少女的春天》,《標準丈夫》和 《多少柔情多少淚》的插曲。你還記得歸亞蕾的《花落誰家》嗎 ? 這部戲里的插曲是黃淑芬,張琪,黃蜀娟和王菲《台灣早期男歌手》合唱的。

我在小學時期就開始聽她的歌。我有個叔叔在台灣留學,每次假期回來總會帶一些當時臺灣流行的黑膠回來。

王靜君應該不只演一部電影。你提到李湘的那部電影應該是《讓我哭吧》, 對嗎 ? 插曲好像是李雅芳唱的。

江宏的歌聲是無人能替代的。我也欣賞洪鐘的歌聲, 不過相比之下就是缺少了一種我也說不出來的韻味。

Chris Tan said...

戲精友,

Thanks for sending me the link with the picture of

http://pearl.plunder.com/$M0UX1kcsP2t1Oq33ARCO7hQkoOMw4RA5/3fd888e2c1/?/file.JPG

Will you also introduce songs recorded by 威莉 and 黃蜀娟?

Yes, the title of the movie is 《讓我哭吧. There might be another title when it was shown in Singapore. Do you know the songs in this movie? Thanks.

Kun,

Is the composer of this song [苦情花] Huang Fu Ling? Who wrote the lyrics? I remember that this song is also pretty short.

Thanks.

Kun said...

Chris,

[苦情花] 是周蓝萍作曲,应是改编自山地民谣。作词待查证。
不同人的歌声见仁见智,江宏和洪钟各有长处。我不会把江宏局限在黄梅调的框框里,他唱其他类型的歌也蛮好的。[苦情花] 他就唱得不错,[初恋女][春风野草][情人你在哪里]都唱得有声有色。洪钟的[半个月亮] 当然也是唱绝了,总之是各有千秋。

文中提到刘琦主演《夜归人》女主角金子,想像中是绝对称职好戏;好奇严俊是担演反派的仇虎?或是软弱孝子焦大星?当年电影,反派不会是主戏,公司害怕影迷抗拒不看。
早年看过唐若青于《倩女幽魂》演出,十分杰出 ,以她的外貌,性格得来是很突出的甘草二线女星,曾担演女主角?听说演过西太后?
祝平安!

Chris Tan said...

Kun and 戲精友,

Talking about [苦情花], it also reminded me of a movie by 汤兰花. It is of the same title. She also sang this song in the movie. I forgot who the leading actor is?

Teresa Teng recorded this song [望一望] which I believe is the same tune as this song [小奴奴]. If NOT, will you please tell me which song is [望一望] copied from?

Kun,

If you can, please write an article about 華怡保. Thanks in advance.

Kun said...

陞友:

[原野] 中,仇虎才是主角,严俊是千面人,能正能反,演仇虎是绝对适合的。

Chris,

我没有听过 [望一望],如果是 [快回头望一望],那是香港歌手刘凤屏原唱的,同 [小奴奴] 差了十万八千里。

我没有太多华怡保的资料,等以后有足够的资料才能写。

Kun and 戲精友,

Too bad you have not heard of [望一望],perhaps 戲精 might know.

I found a link for this song by Teresa Song.

Anyway, have you heard of "丢戒子". Do you know who is the original singer? Thanks.

阿培 said...

錕兄
"苦情花"的旋律, 聽起來不像是改編山地歌, 應該是周藍萍本身的創作, 歌詞我猜想是出自瓊瑤女士手筆.
除了"苦情花", 江宏的歌我最喜歡的是"草原情歌",及"情人你在那裡"(電影獨唱版)和靜婷灌成唱片, 唱法和感覺完全走調, 還有纂湘裳寫的"嘻嘻哈哈" ,很有趣的一首歌, 也很久沒聽到了.
至於"初戀女", 我只喜歡黃飛然的原唱, 陳歌辛出色的編曲及和聲編寫, 經典得不得了! "春風野草"我只聽龔大姐唱, 江宏唱法一貫的舒情, 溫溫吞吞, 少了那份內歛的激情, 很不耐聽.

戲精 said...

錕友,

我有看過劉琦的《唐伯虎與秋香》。印象中, 這部電影的插曲很不好聽。我也聽過劉琦的《我的心中只有你》和《薔薇朵朵紅》, 仔細的聽有注意到她唱歌會走音走的很厲害, 難道是78轉唱片的音質出了問題 ?

Chris 友,

黃蜀娟是台灣60年代的女歌手, 她的歌我聽的不多。假如你有看過《群星會》這部電影, 戲里左艷蓉唱的那首《夢樣的幸福》就是她的歌。

我也沒聽過小鄧的《望一望》。

Kun said...

戏精友:

[唐伯虎与秋香] 的插曲,除了 [荡湖船]之外,其他皆已无印象,好象也不曾灌成唱片,虽然那是葛兰主演的影片。
刘琦虽曾灌录唱片,但歌艺并非一流。当年有些影星能够灌录唱片,只是因为她们的名气而已,对她们的唱功不能太苛求。
