陳銅民(Chan Tung-man),1931年出生,2023年2月9日離世,原名陳養民,係香港電影導演、編劇、資深傳媒人,其子為香港著名導演陳可辛。佢祖籍廣東潮州,父親為泰國華僑,幼年隨母親移居泰國,七歲曾返鄉求學,因日軍侵華再度返泰,曾在當地中學任中文教師。1956年佢到北京進修電影導演;1957年加入香港長城製片公司任編劇,後轉投袁仰安自組嘅新新影業公司,編寫劇本包括《十夜柔情》、《浪子雙娃》同《追車記》。新新結業後佢再轉投鳳凰影業,惟未獲委派工作,遂於1963年轉行到《明報》任編輯,與作家金庸為同事。1968年佢加入國泰機構,為電影《千手佛》任編劇同助導,完成後轉任宣傳部副主任,兼編輯國泰官方刊物《國際電影》,不久轉入邵氏兄弟任宣傳主任。1972年佢與家人陳養素、陳養黎自組大同影業公司,親自執導公司首部電影《大地雙英》,其後執導《奪命客》、《狼女》、《赤膽好漢》;其中《奪命客》獲第十九屆亞洲影展最佳女主角「魚獅」獎,《赤膽好漢》亦啟發其子陳可辛監製《十月圍城》。1977年佢與日本導演野田幸男聯合執導由千葉真一主演嘅《激殺!邪道拳》後不再執導;1980年代息影後一直定居泰國,為《泰國世界日報》執筆寫社論。佢自1957年入行至1977年停止執導,橫跨編劇、宣傳同導演三種崗位。佢執導嘅《大地雙英》以泰國為背景拍攝,係大同影業嘅頭炮。佢喺《明報》任編輯期間同查良鏞(金庸)共事,其後才轉投電影宣傳。佢一生涉獵話劇、電影同報刊,係典型嘅跨媒介文化人。陳可辛曾表示,父親對佢影響深遠。佢女兒陳可秀長居美國,2023年2月喺曼谷為佢設靈,遺體於同月20日火化。

English

Chan Tung-man (1931–2023), born Chan Yeung-man, was a Hong Kong film director, screenwriter and veteran media man, and the father of the celebrated director Peter Chan. Of Chaozhou ancestry, he was born to a Thai-Chinese father and moved to Thailand with his mother as a child; he briefly returned to China for schooling at seven but went back to Thailand when Japan invaded, later teaching Chinese at a local secondary school. In 1956 he went to Beijing to study film directing, and in 1957 joined Great Wall Film Company in Hong Kong as a screenwriter before moving to a new studio founded by the producer Ng Yan-on, for which he wrote several screenplays. When that company closed he joined the Phoenix studio but was given no work, so in 1963 he became an editor at the daily Ming Pao, working alongside the novelist Jin Yong. In 1968 he joined the Cathay organisation, writing and assistant-directing The Thousand-Hand Buddha before becoming deputy head of publicity and editing Cathay's official magazine, and later became publicity chief at Shaw Brothers. In 1972 he and family members founded the Datong Film Company, for which he personally directed its first film, Big Land, Twin Heroes, and several more including The Killer and The Gallant Heroes; the former won a Best Actress prize at the 19th Asian Film Festival, while the latter later inspired Peter Chan's Bodyguards and Assassins. He stopped directing after a 1977 Japan co-production starring Sonny Chiba, and from the 1980s lived out his life in Thailand writing editorials for a Thai-Chinese daily. From his debut in 1957 to his last film in 1977 he worked as screenwriter, publicist and director.
