"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass and green sky..." The familiar melody sounded again. This should be one of the most familiar songs for middle school students in our country. Almost every graduation season, this song will echo in the sky above the campus, echoing in the hearts of reluctant graduates.
, the song composed of Li Shu's lyrics, is also an episode of the movie "Old Things in the South". Until now, every time that beautiful melody sounded, my mind could always come up with pictures from the movie, and my heart would be full of parting sadness.
"Old Things in the South" was released in 1983, shot by Shanghai Film Studio and directed by Wu Yigong. As soon as the film was released, it caused a huge sensation. It not only won the 3rd China Film Golden Rooster Awards for Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Music and other awards, but also won the Best Feature Film Golden Eagle at the 2nd Manila International Film Festival. prize.
Now, 36 years have passed, but this beautiful movie is still shining in our minds. The performances of several actors in the
film also left a deep impression on the audience. Especially Shen Jie, who plays Xiaoyingzi, has big black grape-like eyes that are so innocent, bright, and clean without any impurities, flowing slowly into our hearts like a stream.
and Zhang Min, who played a crazy woman in the film, performed profound, subtle, and poetic, which made us unforgettable for a long time.
Recently, at the director Wu Yigong's memorial meeting held by the Shanghai Film Museum, the two actresses Shen Jie and Zhang Min in "Old Things in the South" gathered again to remember their teacher Wu Yigong.
Director Wu Yigong is a very talented film worker in my country. He has dedicated his life to the Chinese film industry. He has not only directed such as "Bashan Night Rain", "Old Things in the South", "University in Exile", " These well-received and excellent films such as "The Return of the Moon" and "Que Li Ren Jia" have also led the founding of China's only international category A film festival-the Shanghai International Film Festival.
When the Shanghai International Film Festival became more and more prosperous, director Wu Yigong died of illness in Shanghai Ruijin Hospital at 7:32 on September 14, 2019 at the age of 80. His death is a great loss for the Chinese film industry.
When the Shanghai Film Museum held the director Wu Yigong's commemorative meeting, many of his friends during his lifetime came to attend. Zhang Min, who hadn't shown up for a long time, attracted more fans' attention as soon as he appeared at the venue.
Because this movie star, who became popular in the 1980s, has been far from the sight of audiences and fans for a long, long time. And during this period, we have seen many false rumors about her, and even the news that she has passed away, which is really infuriating. And now, when I see her appearing in front of everyone healthy and healthy, I think the hearts of more fans are filled with relief, right? Although she has indeed changed a lot from before, her elegant temperament is still the same as before.
Zhang Min is a disciple of Shanghai Film Studio. Her parents are both old actors and actresses from Shanghai Film Studio. Her father Shi Yuan once played roles in many old movies that everyone is familiar with, such as "Shangrao Concentration Camp", "Minjiang Orange Red", "Today I Rest", "The True Story of Ah Q", "Old Things in the South", etc., Especially Luo Ailan in "Today I Rest" and the old man from Tugu Temple in "The True Story of Ah Q" left a deep impression on the audience.
Zhang Min's mother, Luo Jingyi, also played roles in films such as "Sisters on Stage".
Zhang Min was influenced by his parents since he was a child and has always wanted to be an actor. But after graduating from Shanghai Oriental Middle School in 1973, she was assigned to work in a department store. However, Zhang Min, who loves literature and art, did not give up her pursuit of performing arts. In her spare time, she followed the famous voice actor Qiu Yuefeng as her teacher and made rapid progress. Later, she starred in the drama "Heat Flow Outside the House" in the Shanghai Workers Amateur Repertory Troupe, which was well received by the audience and attracted the attention of some directors from Shanghai Film Studio.
said that Wu Yigong is the Bole of Zhang Min's Art Road, which is not false. It is precisely because of director Wu Yigong's insight and knowledge that Zhang Min has the opportunity to step onto the screen. In 1980, director Wu Yigong directed "Bashan Night Rain". In the film, there was a sad rural girl named Xinghua. Director Wu Yigong found Zhang Min and gave her a very important role.
Zhang Min cherishes this opportunity very much, with the help of Shi Ling, Zhong Xinghuo, etc.Next, completed the performance task very well. Since then, her development in the film industry has been out of control. She has successively participated in a series of excellent film and television dramas such as "Long Live Youth", "Youyuan", "Midnight Two O'clock", "Yang Naiwu and Little Cabbage", and has become A very popular movie star in the 1980s.
In 1983, when director Wu Yigong directed "Old Things in the South", he once again found Zhang Min and invited her to play the mad woman who lost her daughter. Zhang Min once again successfully completed his acting mission and created an unforgettable screen role. .
However, after the time entered the 90s, Zhang Min suddenly disappeared from the audience's sight, and there was no exact news about her for a long time, which made the audience who cared and loved her very worried. In fact, Zhang Min has been abroad all these years. Although he did not continue his career in acting, he was living very well.
is now 63 years old and she finally appeared in front of the audience again, which is very happy. Here, I hope she is healthy and young forever, and I hope to have the opportunity to see her new role again on the screen.
In addition, at this commemorative meeting, we once again saw Shen Jie, who played Xiaoyingzi in the movie "Old Things in the South". The little girl back then is 47 years old now, but her big beautiful eyes are still so clear and charming.
The former director of the Shanghai Film Studio's troupe and famous film actor Xiang Mei also appeared at the memorial meeting of Director Wu Yigong. Together with Zhang Min and Shen Jie, she expressed her deepest memory for Director Wu Yigong.
