張善琨1905年出世,浙江吳興人(另有一說生於1907年),喺上海南洋公學(即交通大學前身)畢業。佢出嚟做嘢初期從商,做過煙草公司廣告主任,喺宣傳推廣方面好有心得;後來佢投靠青幫大佬黃金榮,主持上海大世界遊藝場同共舞台,用機關布景同連台本戲招徠觀眾,練就一身宣傳同經營本領。1934年,佢拉攏人馬組建新華影業公司;當時明星、聯華兩大公司幾乎壟斷晒上海嘅製片同發行網絡,但佢憑住廣闊人脈同高調宣傳,短短幾年就令新華站穩陣腳,成為上海「孤島時期」影壇嘅核心人物,先後執掌新華、華新、華成三間公司,出品過幾百部國語故事片,題材橫跨古裝、文藝同情節劇,捧紅過陳雲裳、顧蘭君等明星。佢出品嘅《木蘭從軍》(1939)以古代故事影射抗日,喺上海引起轟動。抗戰勝利後,佢一度留喺上海處理產業。1949年之後佢南來香港,繼續經營製片,復辦新華影業公司,拍攝《海棠紅》《月兒彎彎照九州》《秋瑾》《桃花江》等片,其中《海棠紅》常被稱為香港早期彩色故事片之一。佢深明明星號召力嘅重要,為新人陳雲裳度身訂造《木蘭從軍》,並請卜萬蒼執導,又出品《貂蟬》等古裝片,以「借古喻今」嘅手法回應時局;孤島時期新華出品大量文藝同愛情片,題材多樣,片量喺當時上海嘅公司中數一數二。佢善於製造話題,戲未上畫先聲奪人。由1933年到1957年初,佢主持拍攝嘅影片多達五六百部。1957年1月7日,佢為監製嘅《銀海笙歌》到日本拍攝外景,期間因心臟病突發喺東京逝世。

English

Zhang Shankun was born in 1905 in Wuxing, Zhejiang (some sources say 1907), and graduated from Nanyang Public School in Shanghai, the forerunner of Jiao Tong University. He first went into business as an advertising manager for a tobacco company, showing a strong instinct for promotion; he later threw in his lot with the gang leader Huang Jinrong, joined the Qing Bang, and ran the Great World amusement park and the Gong Wutai theatre, drawing audiences with mechanical stage sets and serial plays and building up his skills in publicity and management. In 1934 he gathered a team and founded the Xinhua Film Company at a time when the Star and Lianhua studios all but monopolised production and distribution in Shanghai; through wide connections and high-profile publicity he established Xinhua within a few years and became a central figure of Shanghai's 'isolated island' cinema, successively running the Xinhua, Huaxin and Huacheng companies, producing several hundred Mandarin features across period, romantic and melodramatic genres, and launching stars such as Chen Yunshang and Gu Lanjun. His 'Mulan Joins the Army' (1939) used an ancient story to allude to resistance against Japan and caused a sensation in Shanghai. After the war he stayed in Shanghai for a time to manage his businesses, then moved to Hong Kong after 1949, reviving the Xinhua Film Company and making films such as 'Haitang Hong', 'The Moon over the Wo River', 'Qiu Jin' and 'Peach Blossom River', of which 'Haitang Hong' is often called one of Hong Kong's early colour features. Between 1933 and early 1957 the films he oversaw numbered five or six hundred. On 7 January 1957, while shooting location footage in Japan for 'A Song of the Silver Screen', he died of a sudden heart attack in Tokyo.

Zhang Shankun was a legendary producer of early Chinese cinema who, during Shanghai's 'isolated island' years, built up Xinhua almost single-handed and produced an astonishing number of films, ranking among the most influential producers of the day. After the war he moved to Hong Kong and kept producing, his career spanning Shanghai and Hong Kong and launching stars such as Chen Yunshang; his publicity and management methods left a deep mark on how early Mandarin cinema was marketed.
