九旬老電影人張理竺的畢生珍藏

文/伍少康

原浙江省電影發行放映公司張理竺老先生自20世紀五十年代起就與電影事業結下了深厚情緣，從事電影發行工作近五十載，他今年九十高齡，堪稱真正的老電影人。1978年我剛開始從事電影工作時，他是我的部門領導，從某種意義上說也稱得上是手把手帶我的師傅。

老先生為人低調，待人寬厚，總是一副笑嘻嘻的模樣，但工作起來卻是一個極其認真嚴謹的人，有時甚至有些執拗。在他手下做事，你得格外小心，他總是不厭其煩地告知你，“好記性不如爛筆頭”。而我們年輕人仗著記性好，往往懶得動筆，但架不住玩性大，總會淡忘疏漏，給工作造成失誤。這也就常常印證了他的那句話，他也會適時地把它搬出來再次佐證，這時你便真的有所頓悟了。

老先生生活簡樸，印象中不好吃穿，家中的裝潢和擺設也都樸實無華。但老先生有一特殊愛好，就是喜歡收藏與電影文化有關的物件，這些收藏雖不能說包羅萬象，卻也稱得上五花八門，諸如電影海報、電影宣傳畫、電影郵票、電影藝術家肖像貼畫、明星簽名郵資信封、電影書籍、電影節展的紀念物品，等等。想來他將后半生的錢都花在了這一愛好上，你問他為什么，他笑嘻嘻地來一句 ：“喜歡電影，玩玩的。”

知道他長期收集這類文化物品，又正好得知杭州國家版本館有征集需求，我便把他介紹給了杭州館的工作人員。那天，我和工作人員去他家拜訪，不看不知道，一看真是嚇一跳！四個書柜里的藏品整整齊齊地占滿了全部隔層，且書桌里外，甚至是屋內的犄角旮旯里都是他的這些寶貝。我以前只聞其名，無機會睹其物，直到那天走近他的藏品，我們幾個人瞬間驚呆了，這哪里是“玩玩的”，這分明是凝聚了一個人的精神追求，一個人為精神追求所付出的全部心血！我愣在那里想，我們每個人或多或少都有自己的愛好，也會有鐘愛的物件，但是幾萬件的收藏，且如此細致地分門別類，裝幀得如此精致，碼得整整齊齊，這還僅僅只是喜歡嗎？不是的！這是一種人生追求，一種生活的態度，一種由喜歡演變成至愛的靈魂寄托。

老先生幾十年如一日，孜孜不倦，以小見大，積少成多，終集大成，“玩”出了名堂，可敬可佩！

是啊，這很不容易的！收藏這些不僅僅是錢物的事，這背后需要多大的毅力和堅持，需要怎樣的酸甜苦辣去鋪墊呀。老先生比較靦腆，收藏背后的故事說得并不多，但在記憶中，我還在職時他經常來公司，不是拜托我尋找相關電影物品，就是打聽劇組來杭消息，等到劇組真的來了，一有機會，便風雨無阻，他告訴我，有時為要一個簽名，會被對方喝斥、拒絕，不得已就去廁所邊等候。一個七八十歲的老人為自己的追求如此折腰，其癡其情，似乎不是常人所能理解的，然而這些也恐怕只是他收藏故事的冰山一角吧。

浙江老電影人張理竺，他將身后書架上藍色資料夾里的所有珍貴電影藏品都捐贈給了杭州國家版本館。Zhan Lizhu, a film veteran from Zhejiang. He has donated all his treasured collections to the China National Archives of Publications and Culture (Hangzhou).

那天拜訪時，我們詢問老先生是否愿意將其寶貝捐贈給杭州館，老先生并沒有明確答復，只說還要繼續整理整理。我很能理解，尤其親眼目睹了凝聚著他后半生全部熱愛的這些藏品是多么珍貴，沒有人會輕易地放棄，我看了都愛不釋手，更別說老人家本人了，不舍是常情。然而，三月的一天，杭州館的工作人員告訴我，老先生主動來電話說，同意捐贈，并要他們快去接收。我聽到這個消息，真是感慨萬千，重點并不是老人的收藏有多值錢，而是老人這種慷慨為國的精神實在讓人感動不已！

那日，我應約去杭州國家版本館工作處，仔細觀賞了張老先生捐贈的藏品，在諸多藏品中，尤其對系列專題《銀幕郵緣》的郵品印象深刻，某種意義上說甚至是非常震撼。

說實在的，這些郵品的意義并不在于它值多少錢，而在于這些郵品方寸間無不講述著豐富多彩的電影故事和深切真摯的銀幕情懷。作為一名電影人，不僅贊嘆于這些郵品之精美，更為張老先生數十年如一日地對電影文化保有的熱愛和執著感到深深敬佩。

卓別林、希區柯克、奧黛麗 · 赫本、費雯麗、鄧波兒、夢露、胡蝶、克拉克 · 蓋博、成龍、張國榮，等等……這些家喻戶曉的名字不僅代表了一代又一代人對經典電影的集體記憶，也瞬間把人帶回到那些美好的青春歲月。這些名字和烙印上這些名字的老電影在歲月的長河中或許會被漸漸淡忘，或許會被瑣碎而重復的現實生活所淹沒，然而一旦再見，便會睹物生情，記憶的閥門頓時開啟，曾經的某年某月某日溫情的感動又會被再次喚醒，因為他（她）們其實一直駐扎在你的內心一隅，未曾離開。

這不足幾厘米的方寸間，承載的即是歷史，傳承的便是文化，體現的也是情懷，打開的更是視野，或許這就是它們的價值所在吧！張老先生的《銀幕郵緣》特別適合做專題展覽，這樣的展覽不僅可以豐富人們的文化精神生活，陶冶情操，更可以喚起每個人內心深處對往事美好的回憶，同時還可以為電影愛好者和專家學者提供研究資料，期待有—天它們能夠和大家見面，也不負老先生對電影的一片赤誠之心。

Lifetime Treasure of a 90-Year-Old Film Veteran

By Wu Shaokang

Since 1950s, Zhang Lizhu, former employee of Zhejiang Film Distribution and Screening Company, has deeply involved with the Chinese film industry. With nearly 50 years of experience in film distribution, the 90-year-old is a true veteran of the industry.When I entered the film industry in 1978, Mr. Zhang was my department leader and in a sense my mentor who led every step of my career path.

The old gentleman always keeps a low profile and treats people generously. Yet when it comes to work, he could be extremely serious and sometimes even a little obstinate. And he lives a simple life. He dresses and eats frugally, and owns only a few pieces of decent furniture at home. But he has a special hobby of collecting film-related objects, including movie posters, movie stamps, portrait stickers of movie artists, envelopes signed by movie stars, movie books, commemorative items of film festivals,and so on. It looks like he has spent all of his savings on this hobby. “I like movies, and I just do it for fun.” That is how he responded smilingly to my curiosity about why he started this collection.

Since the China National Archives of Publications and Culture (Hangzhou) is also collecting movie-related items, I introduced Mr. Zhang to a staff of the institution, with whom I paid a visit to Mr. Zhang’s home. The moment we entered his house, we were immediately struck: his precious collection pieces neatly filled four bookcases, his desk from inside and outside, and almost every corner of the house. This is certainly not something“just for fun”, but an achievement of a person’s painstaking efforts in realizing his spiritual pursuit. That set me thinking: we all have our own hobbies of some sort and our favorite objects; yet when we are talking about thousands of pieces of collection, as well as the meticulous classification, exquisite framing, and tidy organization, we are talking about something beyond a sheer hobby — a style and attitude of life, and a sustenance of soul. The old gentleman has been working tirelessly for decades, and it is not easy. Managing a collection is not only about money, but also about perseverance and persistence.

As a shy, reserved person, Mr. Zhang has not talked much about the stories behind his collection, but I remember that he often came to my company either to ask for film-related items, or to inquire about whether there were crews coming to Hangzhou to make films. To request a signature, he was often given the cold shoulder, sometimes got told off, and even waited by the bathroom when he had no alternatives. These, I am afraid, are only the tip of the iceberg of what he has done for his collection.

After our visit, Mr. Zhang was not quite decided about donating his treasures to the archives, saying he would like to further organize his collection for a bit. For me that is totally understandable, especially after seeing how he invested his love,time and efforts into this impressively elaborate collection.However, some day in March, the staff told me that the old gentleman called her to give his consent to the donation, and urged them to come and collect it quickly. Hearing the news, I got really emotional not because how expensive the collection is, but because how generous and patriotic Mr. Zhang is.

One day, I was invited to the archives and got a chance to carefully view this donation. Among the numerous items,an exquisite stamp series named the “Stamps and Big Screen”impressed me most. Chaplin, Hitchcock, Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe, Butterfly Wu, Clark Gable, Jackie Chan, Leslie Cheung ... These household names not only represent the collective memory of generations of people about classic films, but also instantly bring people back to those wonderful years of youth.

As I see it, the “Stamps and Big Screen” is particularly suitable for being made into an exhibition, which can enrich people’s cultural and spiritual life, cultivate them sentimentally, and evoke their fond memories, as well as provide research materials for film lovers, experts and scholars. Hopefully it could be brought in front of the public one day, and do justice to Mr. Zhang’s sincere contributions to the film industry.
