The production logo for the Mingxing Film Company

Mingxing was a film production company based in Shanghai, the Republic of China. It released 174 narrative films between its establishment in 1922 and 1938, the year after it closed in the face of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Its output consisted of 128 silent films and 46 sound films. Of the company's productions, 69 were directed or co-directed by Zhang Shichuan and another 55 were credited to Zheng Zhengqiu.[1]

History

[edit]

Co-founded by the dramatists and media entrepreneurs Ren Jinping, Zhang Shichuan, Zheng Zhegu, Zheng Zhengqiu, and Zhou Jianyun,[2] Mingxing had its first theatrical releases – a double feature of the short comedies The King of Comedy Visits Shanghai and Labourer's Love – at the Olympic Theatre on 7 October 1922.[3] after two further unsuccessful releases the company was in dire financial straits.[4] This changed following the release of Orphan Rescues Grandfather (1923), a full-length melodrama that screened to full cinemas in Shanghai and was later distributed throughout China, as well as Southeast Asia.[5] As Mingxing expanded its facilities and began offering shares,[6] it increased its production from three films in 1924 to sixteen in 1928.[1] These included further melodramas with moral lessons and,[7] later, wuxia (martial arts) films.[8] The company's productions expanded to include leftist cinema following the arrival of screenwriters such as Qian Xingcun and Xia Yan in the 1930s.[a][9]

On 15 March 1931, Mingxing released Sing-Song Girl Red Peony – the first full sound film produced in China.[b][10] In subsequent years Mingxing continued to produce silent and sound films in conjunction, with its final silent film – Season of Falling Flowers – being released on 27 April 1935.[1] Though experiencing some economic difficulties, Mingxing continued to expand, opening a second studio in June 1936. However, with the escalation of the Second Sino-Japanese War, including the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, the studio was forced to close in 1937. Several already-completed films were screened the following year.[11]

The majority of Mingxing's 174 films, as with most early Chinese films, are considered lost.[1] Early films were shot on volatile nitrate film, which was easily destroyed, and many experienced material degradation. Further contributing to the loss of historical films were internal turbulence and international conflict; for instance, Mingxing's warehouse was damaged during the Japanese bombing of Shanghai in 1932. Productions that have survived include Labourer's Love, the oldest surviving Chinese film,[12] as well as a further twenty-three films. Some films, such as An Amorous History of the Silver Screen (1931), are known only to have survived in the China Film Archive,[13] while others, such as The Classic for Girls (1934), have seen home release.[14]

List of films

[edit]

This list is divided into two tables, one for the Mingxing's silent films and one for its sound films. Each table is sorted by release date by default, with further sorting capability in certain fields. Titles are given in English-language translations as well as traditional and simplified Chinese. Films are presented together with their director(s), whose names are rendered using the Chinese naming scheme wherein the surname precedes the given name. The list only counts fictional films produced by the company and does not include films from other genres, such as actualities.

Explanatory notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The communist writers Qian Xingcung and Xia Yan used cinema to advocate a pro-proletarian platform that emphasized social change. This segued well with Zheng Zhengqiu's belief that film should promote social progress as an educational platform. As the ruling Kuomintang had massacred communists in the late 1920s, these writers avoided openly voicing their affiliation (Xiao 1998, p. 14).
  2. ^ Dialogue and singing were recorded to a phonograph cylinder and played alongside the film during screenings (Xiao 1998, p. 17).
