viewers who came from the 1970s, I think everyone will not forget the famous "Three World Wars Movie", right? That is "Land Mine War", "Tunnel Warfare" and "Southern Expedition". The first two of these three films
were shot by Bayi Film Studio as a military instructional film, but it was unexpectedly popular after the release. The "Southern Expedition and Northern War" filmed in 1974 was remade on the basis of the 1952 version. Among these three movies, the one that impressed me the most was "Tunnel War". At that time, I was 6 years old. After watching a movie, I followed other kids and sang as I ran: Old man, run fast, there are ghosts chasing you behind, run fast, don’t be caught by ghosts, run fast Run, run, run...
Friends who sang this nursery rhyme as a child, please raise your hand. Everyone has sung, right?
But in fact, the song "Old Man Run" is not in the movie "Tunnel War". This is completely created by the children based on a piece of music in the movie and written by themselves.
This piece of local music has a fast rhythm. It has appeared in the film many times, but the most memorable thing for the audience is the scene where the village party secretary Gao Laozhong discovered the enemy's situation late at night, and then ran quickly to ring the bell under the big locust tree. The situation of
was very urgent at the time. Gao Laozhong's behavior undoubtedly put himself in extreme danger.
While Gao Laozhong is running, our children's hearts are also tightened. So the catchy children's song "Old Man Run" came into being.
As a result, in the movie, the villagers all hid in the tunnel and were saved after hearing the bell sounded by Gao Laozhong, but Gao Laozhong was shot and killed by a Japanese devils.
In this way, we will always remember the image of the old man Gao Laozhong, and also remember the actor who played Gao Laozhong.
only at that time, we didn't know the actor's name was Wang Bingyu. In fact, even if you know it, it is estimated that few people can accurately pronounce the word "彧" (same sound as "玉").
And we all thought that an actor who played Gao Laozhong was in his 50s or 60s, right?
did not expect that this actor was only a young guy in his twenties.
However, he successfully portrayed the image of Gao Laozhong, the father of the protagonist Gao Chuanbao, as a mature and stable old man in "Tunnel War".
Later, we saw him again in the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga". This time, he also played the old man-Uncle Old Man (that is, his father). Then, he played Uncle Liu in the movie "Haixia".
gives people the feeling that he seems to be the "old man professional" on the screen.
In fact, Wang Bingyu was positioned as an "old student" actor when he first debuted.
When he was 21 years old, he was admitted to the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy. When he was in his sophomore year, he participated in the filming of the movie "The Dragon across the Mountains", in which he played an old driver Zhang Guoxiang.
Then he participated in the filming of films such as "Song of Youth" and "Beijing Great Wilderness". After graduating in 1960, he entered the Beijing Film Studio and became a professional film actor.
I wonder if you still remember the movie "Icing on the Cake" directed by Xie Tian, in which the father of the heroine Tie Ying is played by Wang Bingyu.
In the 1960s and 1970s, he played roles in many movies, such as Company Commander Li in "After the Armistice", Uncle Man in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", Gao Laozhong in "Tunnel War", and "Lang Tao" Niu Xiangzhou in "Rolling", Xu Haibo in "Red Stone Bells", Uncle Liu in "Hai Xia", Wang Laoqing in "Red Rain", Zhou Yunpeng in "A Thousand Miles Journey", Yan Kunyu in "Wind and Rain Mileage" and so on.
In addition, he has also voiced Kutzman in the translation of "Walter Defends Sarajevo".
But in 1978, Wang Bingyu moved to Hong Kong with his family, and then joined the Hong Kong Phoenix Film Company as an actor.
He starred in some movies during his stay in Hong Kong, such as the familiar "Secret Killing Order" and "Tarzan Slaying the Dragon". But most of the roles are cast as a dragon. For example, in "Tarzan Slaying the Dragon", he only appeared in the prologue, playing one of the righteous men who was killed by the villain as soon as he appeared.
What is even more unexpected is that in 1982, he was only 47 at a young age.The year-old Wang Bingyu unfortunately died of a heart attack. Speaking of which, it is really a pity.
Wang Bingyu has almost never played an actor in his limited acting career, but even if he only plays a supporting role, he is equally brilliant. For example, Gao Laozhong in "Tunnel War", now so many years have passed, I still remember that he took the grenade from the village chief after the death of the village chief, and then firmly told the villagers: ready to fight.
I think all viewers who have watched "Tunnel War" can hardly forget the scene of Gao Laozhong running in the dark, right? It can be said that although Gao Laozhong is not the leading actor and has not many scenes, but after Wang Bingyu's interpretation, he has become one of the most memorable characters in the film.
"Old man, run fast, there is a devil chasing you behind, run fast, don't be caught by the devil..." Now only when you sing this nursery rhyme, Gao Laozhong's bravery will immediately appear in your mind Then you will think of Wang Bingyu, a good actor who is not familiar to many audiences.
I think there should be a lot of viewers, are they the same as me?
