"At first you accidentally/and the young and careless me/love in the red dust/only because of that life/or the cause and effect passed down in previous lives."
This song "Rolling Red Dust" by Luo Dayou and Chen Shuhua may be for many young people That is strange.
But even if you haven't heard of it, the sentence "you who was inadvertent at first, and me who was young and innocent" can still make people deeply moved. The song
is also the theme song of the same name in the 1990 Hong Kong director Yan Hao's "Rolling Red Dust".
, whether it was then or now, this movie is enough to become a legend.
On multiple creative levels, we also see the difference in this movie:
is based on the love story of Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng, Sanmao’s only and final movie script, Lin Qingxia and Qin Han are male and female respectively The main actress, the actress is Maggie Cheung...
A movie, three paragraphs of unparalleled love.
At the same time, it swept 8 awards at the 27th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and almost won all the awards except for the Best Screenplay Award. The movie
tells about a love in troubled times.
In Shanghai in 1943, Japanese invaders were rampant.
The 22-year-old rich lady Shen Shaohua was kept in the attic by her father and was only given food and drink.
even cut her wrists and committed suicide. Her father just said:
"Let her go, she can't die."
In such an environment, Shaohua started her writing career.
It was not until the death of her father that she finally went downstairs and moved out. The character setting of
reminds us of the fragments written by Zhang Ailing in the autobiographical prose "The Whispers". The same powerful father is also imprisoned, and the white magnolia flowers are also blooming in the yard. After
Shaohua moved out of the house, she focused on writing novels behind closed doors until the arrival of a man broke her lonely but peaceful life. The man named
is Zhang Nengcai, handsome in appearance, deep and stable temperament, elegant and gentle. But he is an important member of the Wang puppet government, that is, a traitor.
He first sent someone a beautifully written letter to Shaohua, but he visited again without receiving a reply.
praised her writing well as soon as they met, and gave her a porcelain tiger. The little toy
touched Shaohua's heart, because her mother once gave her a toy like this when she was a child. Zhang Neng only read this paragraph from the novel and remembered it.
later ate together and saw Shaohua's lace shawl, Zhang Neng praised its beauty. In fact, it was the tablecloth of her house. Leaving home, spending lavishly, and loving beauty, can only be so. When
met again, he gave her a bright red shawl, which made her beautiful.
Shaohua has fallen.
She stood barefoot on Zhang Nengcai's leather shoes and danced with her on the balcony. She covered her head with her bright red shawl and kissed, saying "Let’s get married", and handed over her birth date. He, at the same time, handed over his body and mind.
From then on, it's him.
Traitors, no matter if there is no wedding, the neighbor once said to be a very stylish woman, willingly leaned over to undress for the beloved man, and asked him softly whether he was cold, tired, tired, hungry or hungry.
Isn't this Zhang Ailing?
At that time, she became famous when she was young. With "Love in the Allure" and "Red Rose and White Rose", she became famous. Hu Lancheng, head of the cultural and propaganda department of the Wang puppet government, was also overwhelmed by her talent.
He described her writing as "there is a kind of classic, but also a tropical fresh breath, from the depths of the devotion of life to stimulate the splash of birth."
The two quickly made a deal and wrote the marriage letter. He was 38 years old at
, and she was 23 years old. There was no ceremony. There was only a marriage letter. It said:
Hu Lancheng Zhang Ailing signed for life and married as a couple. I hope the years will be quiet and the world will be stable.
But this stability was quickly and cruelly broken by him.
Proud, young and famous Zhang Ailing, because she fell in love with Hu Lancheng, "becomes very low and low, down to the dust".
Perhaps this is the same posture held by most people who are struggling in eros.
and then laterAfter the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Neng lost his power and fled to the countryside. When Shaohua looked for him and saw him again, he first asked "I want to live for a few days", and then he became intimate with the landlord's wife.
Shaohua's heart was cold, her pride turned and left, unwilling to endure such humiliation and betrayal.
And Hu Lancheng was even more exaggerated, "I already have Ailing, but I am with Xiao Zhou and Xiumei".
Zhang Ailing sent her "Long Live Mrs." when he was destitute, but he fell in love with Fan Xiumei in the remote mountains.
When Fan Xiumei took the note written by Hu Lancheng to ask her for money for the abortion operation, Zhang Ailing was completely cold and wrote a farewell letter, and never saw each other again.
Zhang Neng is not so out of the ordinary. He is just a weak person, a follower, a person who only thinks about himself most of the time, so he loves Shaohua from beginning to end.
, like Zhang Ailing, has a close friend with Yanying, Shaohua also has a close friend named Yuefeng.
Yanying is cheerful and lively, and can enjoy herself even in the war-torn era. She witnessed Zhang Ailing's two marriages, and also witnessed all her loneliness and loneliness. With Yanying, Aileen's arrogance has also settled down.
And Yuefeng's first appearance was so energetic, energetic and life-like, she made fun of the introverted and quiet beauty in the dark corridor and yelled.
They will discuss their boyfriends together, and use an iron to straighten their curled hair, which is so lively.
Similarly, Yuefeng will stand up when Shaohua is besieged by neighbors because of the traitor Zhang Nengcai, will hug her regardless of the smell of sewage when she is abandoned, and will take her in when she is homeless.
Later, Yuefeng was shot and killed for participating in a student rally with her boyfriend.
She said: "It was our volition. He gave his heart to his dream, and I gave my heart to him."
is also the crush of the times, two women, one died with the lover, the other A hardship failed to stay together.
Qin Han said that Shaohua and Yuefeng are three hairs divided into two. The former is the inner Sanmao, and the latter is the outer Sanmao. After listening to
, Sanmao also admitted that he took the opportunity of the screenwriter to "smuggle his own soul" in two roles.
may be because Sanmao was thinking of Jose when he was writing the "Rolling Red Dust" script, so Zhang Neng finally did not become an ungrateful person. In the latter half of his life, he always remembered Shaohua.
This can be regarded as another kind of keeping together.
This is the story of Shen Shaohua and Zhang Nengcai, and also the story of Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng.
For Sanmao and Jose, we are most familiar with that conversation-
Jose asked Sanmao: What kind of person do you want to marry?
Sanmao said: It's pleasing to the eye, multi-millionaires also marry. Not pleasing to the eye, billionaires also marry.
Jose said: Well, you still want to marry a rich man.
Sanmao glanced at Jose and said: There are exceptions.
"Then what if you marry me?" Jose asked.
Sanmao sighed and said: If it's you, you only need enough money to eat.
"Then do you eat a lot?" Jose asked.
"Not too much, not too much, you can eat less in the future." Sanmao said carefully.
Jose lived 30 years old and loved Sanmao for 12 years.
But the biggest lace news of this movie at the time was not Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng, nor San Mao and Hexi, but Lin Qingxia and Qin Han.
In 1972, 17-year-old Brigitte Lin met Qin Han, when he had a family.
In the following 23 years, Brigitte Lin faced various rumors for Qin Han and broke through various shackles, but still failed to escape the ups and downs of fate.
After filming "Rolling Red Dust", the relationship between the two quickly came to an end.
This is also the last film they collaborated on.
Excluding these love entanglements inside and outside the film, "Rolling Red Dust" is still an excellent and even pioneering work from the point of view of shooting techniques and innovative consciousness. The setting of
in the play can be said to be a highlight of the film. The
film inserts Shaohua in addition to Zhang Shen’s storyFragments from the novel "White Magnolia" I wrote describe the experience of a girl named Magnolia. Magnolia's life story and Shaohua's love adventures constitute a legend and reality in a deep sense.
coupled with meticulously conceived photography and editing, and just the right background music, all these make "Rolling Red Dust" break through the shackles of time and become a veritable classic.
