opens the memory and relives the classics. Thank you all new and old friends for your attention to DJ Yaqing. This is Yaqing. At this time of the day, I am in the same place, looking forward to your visit.
The weather was cold and the temperature dropped sharply. Many friends said they were sick. I would like to remind all my friends here, you must remember to dress in cold weather, and don’t ask for “demeanor” instead of “temperature”.
It's cold, I just want to say something warm, and some warm people.
A friend of mine told me that in his growing up experience, there was a celebrity who had a great influence on him. The star is Zhang Ruifang. Because his mother passed away very early, and Zhang Ruifang on the screen looked very much like his mother, so many times, he saw Zhang Ruifang as if he saw his mother. So he especially hoped that I could introduce Zhang Ruifang.
I want to say that Zhang Ruifang is also an actor I like very much.
The first time I saw her on the screen, it was not in "Li Shuangshuang" starring her, nor in "Spring Water Ding Dong", but in a movie called "The River Runs". It can be said that this movie brought together the most dazzling movie stars at the time such as Chen Qiang, Wang Xingang, Zhang Jinling, Li Xiuming, Song Xiaoying, etc., but Zhang Ruifang was the one who impressed me the most.
In "The River Rushing", Zhang Ruifang interprets the heroine Li Mai's simplicity, kindness, bravery and boldness with his profuse acting skills. In the words of Zhang Ruifang's sister Zhang Xin (Chen Huangmei's lover): "The River Runs" is Zhang Ruifang's best play.
After that, I saw Rui Jue as the character she played in the movie "Home". She has portrayed Rui Jue's gentleness, virtuousness, and understanding of the overall situation. Although compared to Wang Danfeng who plays Mingfeng and Huang Zongying who plays Mei's cousin, she is not an actress with amazing looks, but she presents a unique style, like an empty valley or orchid, secretly fragrant.
Then, we saw the image of her as a worker, peasant, and soldier in films such as "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "A Thousand Reds Are Always Spring", "Li Shuangshuang", "Song of the Phoenix", and "Mother". Especially Li Shuangshuang in "Li Shuangshuang", it can be said that Zhang Ruifang's acting skills have reached an unprecedented height. Through a performance full of rich life, she interprets the character Li Shuangshuang vividly and witty. So that year, she was awarded the title of Queen of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award, which was completely well-deserved.
At that time, many people thought that Zhang Ruifang must be from a worker or peasant family? That's why the image of workers, peasants and soldiers can be portrayed so vividly and truly. In fact, she was born in a well-known family in Baoding, Hebei in 1918. Her father was an instructor at the Baoding Army Military Academy. In 1935, Zhang Ruifang entered the Department of Western Painting at the Peking National College of Art and began to engage in drama performances. In 1938, she came to Chongqing and joined the drama performances promoting the Anti-Japanese War. She quickly gained fame and became the "Four Famous Dramas" in the 1940s with Bai Yang, Shu Xiuwen and Qin Yi.
In 1940, Zhang Ruifang participated in the shooting of his first film "The Baptism of Fire". In 1946, she was well-known by more audiences because of her successful role as the heroine Niu in the movie "On the Songhua River". Since this time, she has formed her own simple, natural and fresh acting style.
After the founding of New China, Zhang Ruifang became an actor of the Shanghai Film Studio's troupe, and has been the head of the group. In Shangying, the first image she received of workers, peasants and soldiers was Zhao Yumin in "The Southern Expedition and the Northern War". In order to play this role well, she went down to the countryside with Feng Zhe, Tie Niu and others to eat, live and work with the local villagers, just letting herself lean on the characters from the inside out.
In the movies "Three Years" and "A Thousand Purples Are Always Spring", she played female workers Zhao Xiumei and Wang Caifeng, respectively, portraying the images of the two workers as both physical and spiritual. Zhang Ruifang can be said to be one of the rare big stars who can portray the image of workers, peasants and soldiers to life, but also believable.
All the audience who have watched the movie "Nie Er" will never forget the passionate and unrestrained Zheng Leiden in it, right? This role is different from the roles Zhang Ruifang has played before. Zheng Leidian's character is as bright and bright as the red sweater she wore. If Zhang Ruifang played in "Home"If Rui Jue wants to "close the performance", then Zheng Leiden has to "release" to express that kind of pride. Among them, the scene of "Farewell to the Pagoda" is the finishing touch of the whole movie.
In Zhang Ruifang's acting career, there is another movie, which must be mentioned, that is "Mother" filmed in 1956. In fact, Zhang Ruifang was only in his thirties, but he wanted to portray an image of a weather-beaten and determined old man. This made Zhang Ruifang, who has always been used to playing young roles, deeply stressed. But under the inspiration of director Ling Zifeng, she boldly took on this task and kept thinking of her mother during the filming process. At the same time, she also found creative inspiration in many heroic mothers, which made us see what she did. Created extremely touching image of mother.
Later, many friends told me that watching "Mother" starring Zhang Ruifang, they would always involuntarily think of their mother. I said, me too.
Zhang Ruifang has been the director of the Shanghai Film Studio's actor and theater troupe in his later years. In 1982, after she starred in "Spring Water Ding Dong" was released, it was unanimously welcomed by children, and her role as Grandma Tao became another classic screen image of this period.
In 1993, Zhang Ruifang won the Special Honor Award at the 4th China Film Performing Arts Society. In 2003, she won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 9th Golden Phoenix Award Ceremony of the China Film and Performing Arts Society. In 2007, Zhang Ruifang was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 26th China Film Golden Rooster Awards.
Zhang Ruifang has never been separated from the masses in his life, and has never regarded himself as a big star in life. Whenever she receives a new role, she always starts from life and goes to the masses to find creative materials and inspirations, which makes the characters she portrays so life-like, standable and brilliant. And now many actors, why do people think their performances are "fake"? I think it may be because of the distance from life.
On June 28, 2012, Zhang Ruifang died of illness at the age of 94. From then on, we can only commemorate and recall this famous people’s performance artist through her shining images on Yinscreen Mountain. In her film career, she has too many unforgettable roles, so friends, which one do you like the most? Welcome everyone to tell us through the message area!
