2022 is the 106th birthday of Mr. Puck .
Puke is a famous performance artist in our country. It is estimated that the young people are not familiar with him, but in the history of new Chinese film, he is a shining star.
Mr. Puke has a decades-long acting career and has performed hundreds of screen images. Speaking of his qualifications, he is quite old. He is also known as Xing Jitian , Zhang Ping, Gaobo The Four Elders".
Mr. Puke's wife is Xia Peijie , who is also an excellent film actor. His lover is 's top student at North China University . That time was in 1939. The university at that time was different from the current university. There are very few people who get into college.
The film works of the two artists are numerous, among which "Children of Heroes" is the most well-known to the audience. A supporting role in the movie
"Children of Heroes", the old man of North Korea, Kim Jong-tae, is played by Mr. Puke.
Heroes and Sons
The film "Heroes and Sons" is adapted from the novella "Reunion" by Ba Jin .
After the outbreak of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Ba Jin joined the North Korea interview group organized by the All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and lived in the battlefield for several months. After returning to China, he published some essays and essays one after another.
It was not until 1961 that Ba Jin published his novel "Reunion" after nearly ten years of deliberation. This novel by
does not simply write a hero's battle story, but the reunion of father and child around a hero.
not only shows the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, but also reflects the arduous struggle of the Shanghai underground party in the 1930s and 1940s. After
's novel "Reunion" was published, Xia Yan instructed Changchun Film Studio to adapt it into a movie.
The leaders of Changying feel deeply responsible for this matter.
One is a novel by great writer Ba Jin, and the other is recommended by Xia Yan personally, and the factory can only make it well.
but to whom is this task given to? This is something that makes Changying leaders very thoughtful.
They queued up the directors in the factory one by one, and finally decided to hand it over to Wu Zhaodi .
was born in Wu Zhaodi in the United States. He returned to China with his parents when he was a child. After the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the Shanxi Sacrifice League. In 1939, he went to Yan'an to serve as an actor in the Anti-Japanese Art Troupe. In 1949, he was transferred to the Central Film Bureau as a screenwriter. Film director.
In 1955, he co-directed " Plain Guerrilla " with Suri. In the same year, he went to the Beijing Film Academy's directing training program. After graduation, he independently directed "The Underground Soldier", "The Story of the Red Scarf" and "Sisters on Ice", etc. The film is a good director who can both write and direct.
Wu Zhaodi had read the novel and accepted the task of adaptation and filming.
He found a collaborator - his old comrade-in-arms, Mao Feng who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
after several run-ins, they completed the leap from novel to script. The
script turns the symbolic character Wang Cheng, who has only a few lines of text in Ba Jin's novel, into a living warrior image, while his sister Wang Fang, a member of the army's art troupe, is a portrayal of the life of the two screenwriters.
Xia Yan had read the script and affirmed it; Ba Jin had read the script and agreed.
Who will play the role of North Korea's old man Kim Jong-tae? Director Wu Zhaodi chose Pu Ke.
"On the stage"
Poke had previously played a Korean old man in "Ice and Snow Jindalee".
that time, he went to Antu County Korean family to experience life. Before the filming started, he went to Yanbian and Tonghua to live for a while, and carefully observed the daily life, speech and behavior of the old North Korean man. This laid a solid foundation for him to play the role well.
"Heroes and Sons" was very difficult to shoot, sometimes a dozen minutes of scenes took more than half a month to shoot. The top of the mountain where the
film crew was filming was originally a silkworm farm. For the purpose of filming, the top of the mountain was blown up with three carts of yellow dynamite, turning it over. On August day, the heat wave is overwhelming, the actors are wearing shorts on the mountain, and they will put on their costumes when they are filming.. When
was filming the scene "Shoot Me", firewood was piled up on the mountain, gasoline was put on it, and more than 100 bomb spots were laid on the ground. When
took the real shot, the fireworks lit the firewood, and the surrounding area was on fire, and the explosion point exploded.
being an actor is a chore, there are dramas to act, but there is no drama to ponder.
A film actor A shot is a character. After the release of
's successful work
"Heroes and Children", it was welcomed by the audience because of its rich life and human touch.
Before the filming of the film, the actor also said when studying the script: "Dage and Her Father" filmed in the factory was about two fathers competing for a daughter, and was dismissed as " bourgeois humaneness". The script
is just the opposite. It's about two fathers and their daughters. There's no bourgeois human touch, right?
Who would have guessed that it was also criticized for its so-called bourgeois theory of human nature, and then it was simply sent to the warehouse. After the re-release of
"Heroes and Children", it landed in Hong Kong theaters in 1972.
At that time, it was already in the color widescreen era. Can a black and white ordinary screen film have an audience in a place where attendance is important?
is said to be on the safe side, the organizer has prepared two films. If "Heroes and Sons" fails, another film will be used instead.
did not expect that when the film was released, it was very sensational and the audience responded strongly.
started planning to release for a week, and it turned out to be seven weeks after it was released.
Kuomintang's agents and personnel were all surprised and bought tickets to see what happened.
Puck
Puck joined Northeastern Films in 1945.
Before Dongying withdrew, Zhang Xinshi found Puke, who played Hong Xiuquan in the drama "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom". If
says that there is a starry sky in "Manying", then Puck is undoubtedly the brightest one.
Puke was born in Penglai, Shandong in 1916. The teenager went to Anton with his parents to make a living.
He worked as an apprentice in a shop, got into film in Shenyang and fell in love with the art.
In 1938, "Man Ying" went to recruit students, and Pukkao became a student of the third stage of the actor training institute. One year later, he became a starring star and became an eye-catching star.
Zhang Xinshi said to Puke: Dongying has withdrawn, but the actors will not withdraw first.
In order to stabilize the mood of the citizens, how do you perform and how you perform, I will send someone to pick you up to retreat in three days.
Puke and the actors stayed behind and rushed to arrange the large-scale drama "Qingming Festival".
The mood of the masses has stabilized, but Puck's heart has grown grass.
He eagerly awaits instructions to retreat.
waited until the third day when someone suddenly notified him to go to the small auditorium for a meeting.
entered the small auditorium, and there were some strangers sitting in the room.
saw a middle-aged man in a navy blue woolen coat, a purple scarf, and a hand-held civilized stick , standing in front of the pulpit in a graceful manner with a top hat on the desk.
With this attire and this atmosphere, who is from Dongying! Puck's heart sank.
He had already heard that the Kuomintang was going to send someone to receive it, so it must be them.
But the handsome middle-aged man in front of him seemed familiar to Puck.
is right, he looks like Jinshan who played "Singing at Midnight"! Is he here?
The man looked at everyone and said, "My name is Jinshan. I have no party and no faction..."
Oh! Sure enough, it is Jinshan. Since he is a member of the Kuomintang, how can he say that he has no party and no sect?
"What I'm doing is art..." Jinshan glanced at the people present, "From today, the Changchun Film Studio has been established. If you haven't left, please don't leave, and make movies with me. Don't look at anything in the factory. , I'll start preparing right away." The
factory began to come back to life.
The preparatory office of Changchun Film Studio with Jinshan as the director was established; then, the experimental group of Changying Actors and some necessary departments also started to work.
On July 7 of this year, Jinshan held a conference to officially announce the establishment of Changchun Film Studio.
He not only set up a film studio, but also found filming funds andequipment and formed a strong filming team, ready to shoot his own script "On the Songhua River".
In October 1946, the famous actor Zhang Ruifang also came to Changchun from Shanghai to participate in the shooting of "On the Songhua River".
Jinshan asked Zhang Ruifang to play the granddaughter, Pu Ke to play the grandfather, Zhu Wenshun to play the father. The location of the
film was selected in the Yongji Laoyeling area. When
started filming, Jin Shan realized that the actor who played the male lead was not suitable.
He was brought by Jinshan, but he can't even drive a carriage.
Puke recommended Wangren Road to Jinshan.
Wang Renlu also lived up to Puck's trust, and the play was very good.
Unexpectedly, during most of the filming, in a fight scene, Wang Renlu jumped from a high place, accidentally wrinkled his neck, injured his spine, and paralyzed his lower limbs.
was later filmed with a stuntman.
In October 1947, the filming of "On the Songhua River" was completed. Another trouble with
recording.
is a recording device that is pieced together from scattered parts. There is only one vocal cord. The film crew had to keep it simple and record the dialogue, singing, music and sound effects all at once. In the
studio, there are big bands, actors who need dubbing, and chickens and ducks for foley and effects. The negatives of all
films are also processed in sections by hand, and the first prints are hand-printed on recycled film. This kind of difficult shooting conditions is not much different from Dongying who retreated to Xingshan .
"On the Songhua River" filming was not smooth, but it was a great success after the filming. When the
film was screened in the Shanghai Daguang Cinema , it was well received by the progressive literary and art circles, and praised the film, together with "A River of Spring Flows East" and "Remembering the South of the Yangtze River", as "the three rivers are good". The premiere of the
film in Shenyang received a strong response.
When the Kuomintang officials celebrated this film, how could they have imagined that they would send to receive the "Man Ying" officials, the film's director, Jin Shan, who joined the Communist Party of China in 1932, a veteran!
"Long System"
In 1948, the situation in the Northeast battlefield reversed, and the Kuomintang army retreated steadily.
Jinshan's film studio decided to withdraw from Changchun, and arranged for Pu Ke and the actors to take a military plane to Peiping, where they landed in the courtyard of the third branch of the Central Film Studio in Xinjiekou. Wooden sign of Changchun Film Studio.
has two hosts and guests, one is referred to as "China Power Third Factory" and the other is referred to as "Changzhi".
When Pu Ke participated in the filming of "On the Songhua River", Dongying retreated to Xingshan, set up camp in an old house abandoned by the Japanese, and started the business of new Chinese films.
In October 1946, the Propaganda Department of the Northeast Bureau changed the Northeast Film Company to Northeast Film Studio in accordance with the advice of Yuan Muzhi .
After Shu Qun accepted the new appointment and transferred out, Yuan Muzhi was appointed as the director of the factory.
Wu Yinxian and Zhang Xinshi are the deputy directors, Tian Fang is the secretary general, Xu Ke is the director of the secretary office, and Qian Xiaozhang is the leader of the news film team.
Before that, dozens of people from the Yan'an Film Troupe also rushed to Xingshan, all of them joined Dongying and participated in the creation of People's Films. Since then, there have been the "seven firsts" of People's Films, namely the first short feature film "Leave him to beat Lao Jiang", the first science and education film "Plague Prevention", the first puppet film "The Emperor's Dream", the first The cartoon "Catch the Turtle in the Urn", the first large-scale documentary "Northeast Democracy", the first translated film "Ordinary Soldier", and the first feature film "Bridge".
In March 1949, Changchun was completely liberated, and Dongying returned to its current location in Changchun from Xingshan.
In 1955, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Culture, it was changed to Changchun Film Studio.
"Sunny Day"
In the new era, Mr. Pu Ke received the job of shooting "Sunny Day" again. On the basis of the novel, the new adaptation of
"Sunny Sky" strengthens the class struggle and weakens the emotional drama of the protagonists Xiao Changchun and Jiao Shuhong. The arrangement of
actors is also the same asThe film crew was very different from before. The villain of
, Ma Zhiyue, is still played by Puke.
Puke, who was walking on the "May 7th Road" in the countryside, suddenly received a notice from the Changying Theatre Company, asking him to return to the factory to shoot "Sunny Sky". He was very happy.
He asked if he should go back alone or with the whole family? The
troupe replied that the whole family should go back. Puck was even happier.
went to the countryside this time. He came here with salary, household registration and food relations. If the whole family can go back, they will bring back all that they have brought back, which means that their rural life will come to an end.
Four years ago, in the winter of 1969, the majority of Changying's creators were sent to the countryside to walk on the "May 7th Road" wearing big red flowers, sitting in a big car, beating gongs and drums.
Puke and his family were sent to join the ranks of farmers in Nadanbo Commune, Dongfeng County, Jilin Province, which is famous throughout the country for its struggle to control the route.
decided in a hurry and walked in a hurry, too late to build a house in the countryside for the May Seven soldiers who took the "May Seven Road".
It is impossible to carry out construction in the northeast where the water is dripping into ice in the twelfth winter and the twelfth lunar month. People who go to the countryside live in the houses of the members.
There are east and west houses on the north and south kangs in the houses of the rural people. On the second day of
's trip to the countryside, Poke asked the captain to do some work. The captain of
assigned him to fight soybeans in the field.
Don't look at Pu Ke playing a farmer, and he has a lot of arrogance in every move. When he comes to life, compared with a real farmer, his unfamiliarity with rural life is completely exposed.
Not to mention that he doesn't know how to do farm work, and even the physical strength is not as old as a member of the commune. Sometimes he thinks that this time he came down with a household registration. He is afraid that he will not be able to return to the city in the future, and it is impossible to become a movie actor again. He will spend the rest of his life here, and he is afraid that he will not be able to support himself.
feels sad every time he thinks about it.
is comforting to Puck that the farmers don't treat him as a "black line man", they still call him a big star and a big actor. Young people who are interested in making movies still come to him and ask: How do bullets hit people? Why do actors cry so much? How does the train top the cow?
Puck gets along quite well with the villagers. The captain of
has always given him the lightest job. He also tries to do as much as possible for the communal team. Before the Spring Festival, he even wrote and performed small plays for the villagers.
didn't expect that after four years, he could return to Long Shadow to make movies again. Although the script used by
is different from the previous one, the character Ma Zhiyue is the same.
Puke himself clearly felt that in the past, he analyzed Ma Zhiyue's character from rationality to rationality, from script to script. Now when he talks about this character, it is really vivid.
He has lived in the countryside for several years. He has been a member of the commune, joined the work group, and has contact with cadres like Ma Zhiyue. These familiar images are already active in his mind.
