米雪如何成爲佳視花旦

How Michelle became a well-known actress – Jian Er Qing

  前言:多得香港著名馬評家簡而清當年賞識推薦,使米雪得以演出佳視的《射雕英雄傳》俏黃蓉,從而使米雪一炮而紅,片約如雪片飛來……到底米雪是如何認識簡而清前輩的?下是簡先生的文章。)     

說來很怪,我的實際生日是九月二日,而在那一個星期內,也是好幾位相當熟的小妹妹的生日,同是處女座的人,鄭裕玲是、王宇鳳是,還有好幾個人也是。而與我的生日剛好是同一日的,則是米雪。

米雪是由無線訓練班出來的,但很少人還記得這件事,因爲那一年,同一個訓練班分派在電視與電影兩面發展,米雪是派了到電影那邊去的。在邵氏的幾部電影裏,演的都是些可有可無的角色。我認識她,是因爲一位摯友葉大衛的結婚,我與由美國回港慶賀的張揚同桌。剛剛米雪與張揚拍了一部電影,所以成理成章地,也就坐在我們的一枱。

依稀記得,那一席宴會中,同桌的人,是無線的有、麗視的有,而我則可以算是佳視的代表。三造人等,似乎都注意到米雪,分別向她討了電話與地址,但是後來有去與她聯絡的,則只有我這一造而已。

就是這麽一個陰差陽錯,令到不久後米雪成爲佳視的當家花旦。

一齣《射雕英雄傳》,奠定了她由電影界改入電視界的地位,我也實在不明白,為什麽當年在電影界中,她只得到一些如繞辮梅香般的角色,因為單看她的一雙眼睛的眼神,就定然可以知道她是擅長演戲的那類人。

米雪有麝自然香

驟眼看,米雪可能不是如何出眾的一個女孩子,因為她的膚色相當黧黑,個子又不是很高大的,但假如你看清一下她的眼睛,就知道她應該很懂演戲的,再加上她那副展起來很燦爛的笑蓉,加上兩只兔仔牙,根本是什麽年紀什麽性別的人,也會喜歡這麽一個模樣的女孩子。

更難得的是,雖然個子小小,米雪卻不是屬於那一型,單看外型,你根本上不可能知道她是那麽小的一個。

《射雕英雄傳》使人對當時的佳視刮目相看,因為同時代的其他兩台武俠片集,是比較來得斯文而沒象佳視所拍那麽實牙實齒,拳拳到肉的。不過假如沒有米雪的冒頭,當然不易令到那一套最原始的《射雕英雄傳》那麽受人重視的,可以說是創了那一類武俠劇的先河。

佳視製作條件比其他兩台差,為了趕那劇集,主要便是通宵達旦地拍,是在所難免的了,天氣涼時,錄影室的冷氣,是令人為之牙關打震的。一有休息的片刻,米雪便跑到門口的幾個石級上,假寐一會。那種奮鬥精神,令到當時的佳視的士氣相當好。而事實上,是到了關門前拍的戲,也是士氣不錯的。

    米雪後來演遍廣播道上幾個電視台,自然是因為有麝自然香,這一點,倒是不容任何人否認的。

How Michelle became a well-known actress – Jian Er Qing

(Foreword: If it is not for the Hong Kong well-known producer, Mr. Jian Er Qing, Michelle will not be famous now. It was his recommendation and wise decision of getting her to act as Wong Yong that has brought her to the path of fame. So how did Michelle get to know him? Here, the article below is written by Mr. Jian.)

  My birthday is on 2nd of September, and there were other actresses like Carol Cheng, Wong Yu Fung whose birthday falls on the same week too. However, there is one actress who bore the birthday date exactly the same as mine and she is none other than Michelle Yim.

  Very few of them knew that Michelle has once joined Shaw Brothers Training School when she was young, because on that year those who received the training was appointed to either the Television or to the Movie circles. Michelle was appointed to the Movie sector, but received and played those insignificant roles. I got to know her through my bosom, David Yip’s wedding. I sat with Cheung Yeung, who had just returned back from America. As Michelle has just finished filming a movie with Cheung, she has the chance to sit with us.

  I still remember that on that particular table, there are representatives from TVB, ATV while I can be considered as the rep of CTV. We seem to have noticed Michelle, and asked for her contact number individually. However, I am the only one who contacts her.

  It is due to this strange combination of circumstances that made Michelle popular, being entitled as the one and only in CTV.

  Legend of The Condor Heroes had recognized her status in television circles. I am puzzled why she was overlooked during her days in the movie sector, because just take a look into her eyes, you will find that she is gifted in acting.

  Michelle may not be a girl of attention-grabbing, because she was quite tanned and not tall either. But if you discern her eyes, you would be able to see that she is capable in acting. In addition to this, her bugs-bunny teeth with her resplendent smile hung on her face was well liked by people of all ages, much more brighten up our day. Though petite, Michelle does not quite belong to that category. One glimpse at her, you will never realize that she is teeny.

  Legend Of The Condor Heroes had made people see CTV with new eyes, because at that time the other two media broadcasts’ sword fighting was not as authentic as CTV’s – the CTV artistes film the fighting scenarios personally. However, if it is not for Michelle, I don’t think that others will think highly of LOCH and CTV, so it can be said that Michelle has lead the way of the sword fighting series.  

  As CTV was the weakest of the three media broadcast, filming was definitely got to be fast – filmed through the whole day. The artistes would have to stay at the company overnight. Once there is break, Michelle will eventually catch her sleep at the company staircase. Due to this, the morale of the CTV is quite high.

  I must admit that Michelle is formidable because she was the vying power between the two television broadcasts after CTV has closed down. Even till now, she was still well-liked by all. No one could deny the fact.
