九旬老电影人张理竺的毕生珍藏

文/伍少康

原浙江省电影发行放映公司张理竺老先生自20世纪五十年代起就与电影事业结下了深厚情缘，从事电影发行工作近五十载，他今年九十高龄，堪称真正的老电影人。1978年我刚开始从事电影工作时，他是我的部门领导，从某种意义上说也称得上是手把手带我的师傅。

老先生为人低调，待人宽厚，总是一副笑嘻嘻的模样，但工作起来却是一个极其认真严谨的人，有时甚至有些执拗。在他手下做事，你得格外小心，他总是不厌其烦地告知你，“好记性不如烂笔头”。而我们年轻人仗着记性好，往往懒得动笔，但架不住玩性大，总会淡忘疏漏，给工作造成失误。这也就常常印证了他的那句话，他也会适时地把它搬出来再次佐证，这时你便真的有所顿悟了。

老先生生活简朴，印象中不好吃穿，家中的装潢和摆设也都朴实无华。但老先生有一特殊爱好，就是喜欢收藏与电影文化有关的物件，这些收藏虽不能说包罗万象，却也称得上五花八门，诸如电影海报、电影宣传画、电影邮票、电影艺术家肖像贴画、明星签名邮资信封、电影书籍、电影节展的纪念物品，等等。想来他将后半生的钱都花在了这一爱好上，你问他为什么，他笑嘻嘻地来一句 ：“喜欢电影，玩玩的。”

知道他长期收集这类文化物品，又正好得知杭州国家版本馆有征集需求，我便把他介绍给了杭州馆的工作人员。那天，我和工作人员去他家拜访，不看不知道，一看真是吓一跳！四个书柜里的藏品整整齐齐地占满了全部隔层，且书桌里外，甚至是屋内的犄角旮旯里都是他的这些宝贝。我以前只闻其名，无机会睹其物，直到那天走近他的藏品，我们几个人瞬间惊呆了，这哪里是“玩玩的”，这分明是凝聚了一个人的精神追求，一个人为精神追求所付出的全部心血！我愣在那里想，我们每个人或多或少都有自己的爱好，也会有钟爱的物件，但是几万件的收藏，且如此细致地分门别类，装帧得如此精致，码得整整齐齐，这还仅仅只是喜欢吗？不是的！这是一种人生追求，一种生活的态度，一种由喜欢演变成至爱的灵魂寄托。

老先生几十年如一日，孜孜不倦，以小见大，积少成多，终集大成，“玩”出了名堂，可敬可佩！

是啊，这很不容易的！收藏这些不仅仅是钱物的事，这背后需要多大的毅力和坚持，需要怎样的酸甜苦辣去铺垫呀。老先生比较腼腆，收藏背后的故事说得并不多，但在记忆中，我还在职时他经常来公司，不是拜托我寻找相关电影物品，就是打听剧组来杭消息，等到剧组真的来了，一有机会，便风雨无阻，他告诉我，有时为要一个签名，会被对方喝斥、拒绝，不得已就去厕所边等候。一个七八十岁的老人为自己的追求如此折腰，其痴其情，似乎不是常人所能理解的，然而这些也恐怕只是他收藏故事的冰山一角吧。

浙江老电影人张理竺，他将身后书架上蓝色资料夹里的所有珍贵电影藏品都捐赠给了杭州国家版本馆。Zhan Lizhu, a film veteran from Zhejiang. He has donated all his treasured collections to the China National Archives of Publications and Culture (Hangzhou).

那天拜访时，我们询问老先生是否愿意将其宝贝捐赠给杭州馆，老先生并没有明确答复，只说还要继续整理整理。我很能理解，尤其亲眼目睹了凝聚着他后半生全部热爱的这些藏品是多么珍贵，没有人会轻易地放弃，我看了都爱不释手，更别说老人家本人了，不舍是常情。然而，三月的一天，杭州馆的工作人员告诉我，老先生主动来电话说，同意捐赠，并要他们快去接收。我听到这个消息，真是感慨万千，重点并不是老人的收藏有多值钱，而是老人这种慷慨为国的精神实在让人感动不已！

那日，我应约去杭州国家版本馆工作处，仔细观赏了张老先生捐赠的藏品，在诸多藏品中，尤其对系列专题《银幕邮缘》的邮品印象深刻，某种意义上说甚至是非常震撼。

说实在的，这些邮品的意义并不在于它值多少钱，而在于这些邮品方寸间无不讲述着丰富多彩的电影故事和深切真挚的银幕情怀。作为一名电影人，不仅赞叹于这些邮品之精美，更为张老先生数十年如一日地对电影文化保有的热爱和执着感到深深敬佩。

卓别林、希区柯克、奥黛丽 · 赫本、费雯丽、邓波儿、梦露、胡蝶、克拉克 · 盖博、成龙、张国荣，等等……这些家喻户晓的名字不仅代表了一代又一代人对经典电影的集体记忆，也瞬间把人带回到那些美好的青春岁月。这些名字和烙印上这些名字的老电影在岁月的长河中或许会被渐渐淡忘，或许会被琐碎而重复的现实生活所淹没，然而一旦再见，便会睹物生情，记忆的阀门顿时开启，曾经的某年某月某日温情的感动又会被再次唤醒，因为他（她）们其实一直驻扎在你的内心一隅，未曾离开。

这不足几厘米的方寸间，承载的即是历史，传承的便是文化，体现的也是情怀，打开的更是视野，或许这就是它们的价值所在吧！张老先生的《银幕邮缘》特别适合做专题展览，这样的展览不仅可以丰富人们的文化精神生活，陶冶情操，更可以唤起每个人内心深处对往事美好的回忆，同时还可以为电影爱好者和专家学者提供研究资料，期待有—天它们能够和大家见面，也不负老先生对电影的一片赤诚之心。

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.
