, an old actor, on the screen, is also one of our most familiar faces.
He not only participated in many movies, but also played the leading role countless times. But for some reason, the frequency of mentioning his name is not particularly high.
This handsome man on the screen was born in Hebei, and his name is Wen Xiying.
In March 1920, Wen Xiying was born in Wenjiawa Village, Funing County, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province.
I think Wen Xiying's image has many characteristics of a handsome Hebei guy, such as tough and simple, he looks like a kind person, and is low-key and unassuming.
In 1932, his mother died. At that time, his elder brother brought him to Peking and arranged for him to continue his studies at the age of 12. After the July 7th Incident, he successively studied in Henan Middle School and Northeast Zhongshan Middle School, and then was admitted to Jiang'an National Drama School in 1939, and since then embarked on the road of art.
During school, the handsome Wen Xiying is the best choice for many big drama heroes, such as Hamlet in "Hamlet" and Li Hongzhang in "Outstanding Officials". Later, he entered the Chinese Theatre Arts Society and became one of the main actors. He participated in many dramas such as "The Earth Rejuvenation", "Peach Blossom Fan", "Beijing People", "Tangdi Flower", and gradually formed himself Performance style.
Wen Xiying made a movie on the screen for the first time in 1947. This year he joined the Cathay Pacific Film Company and participated in "Distant Love" starring Zhao Dan, Qin Yi, etc., and then filmed "Fantasy Diary", "Returning Home in Clothes", "Lifetime Events", "Funny Men and Women" and many others. the film.
In 1949, when New China was founded, Wen Xiying became a member of the Shanghai Film Studio.
In the Shanghai Film Studio, Wen Xiying is a very interesting actor-in acting, he is serious, but in life, he is more real.
I remember at that time, he had many nicknames, most people called him "Old Wen", a few people who are more familiar would call him "Wen Daxie" (because of his bigger ass), and some knew him Old friends with a bad temper would call him "Donkey". The two words "donkey" conveyed his character very well.
Let's talk about those things about Wen Xiying's acting first.
Wen Xiying is indeed not the most popular and famous movie actor, but she is definitely one of the "hard linings" of Shanghai Film Studio. As the protagonist, he can act alone, play a supporting role, and also add luster to the film. In those years, he made many films, and many of them left a deep impression on the audience.
I think the viewers are more familiar with Liu Genfa in "A Thousand Reds Are Always Spring" and Wu Li Ji in "Storm of Ordos", right?
In these two movies, he played Zhang Ruifang and Wang Xiaotang's husband respectively.
In "A Thousand Purples Are Always Spring", he plays Liu Genfa, who liberates his mind and supports his wife Wang Caifeng (played by Zhang Ruifang) to walk out of the family, into society, and contribute to the country's production and construction. Through his relaxed and humorous performances, Liu Gen's hair has a thick and thin personality, which is very well reflected.
and Wuli Ji, played in "Storm of Ordos", is his famous work, and it is this work that made more audiences know him.
In this play, his performance has been quite mature and steady. Through his delicate eyes, he expresses Wu Liji's inner feelings vividly, and the cooperation with his partner Wang Xiaotang is also quite tacit. Excellent display of his profound performance skills.
In addition, Wen Xiying has also participated in many works and has a wide range of plays. Whether it is the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army in "Cuigang Red Flag", "Battle in the Desert", "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", or the senior cadres in "The Young Generation" and "Lushan Love", he has portrayed them to life.
and Resuo in "Moya Dai", Mai Kuan in "Lin Zexu", Manager Mei in "Flying Dao Hua", Bai Xianzhou in "The Red Age", etc., are also deeply left in your minds Among.
Wen Xiying takes acting seriously and is famous in the circle. In life, he is also known as a "donkey".
For example, during a special ten-year period, many excellent films in my country were labeled as "poisonous weeds", which made Wen Xiying very puzzled. Why can't a good film meet the audience? Therefore, he often raised his own questions in some public occasions: Is it possible that "Nie Er", "LinAre movies like "Zexu" and "Early Spring February" bad? Good friends who provoked him quickly remind him: Wen Dazhu, can you stop getting angry? Can you talk less? He nodded helplessly: I do, I do not speak, I remain silent, silence is golden.
In his later years, he and some old actors in Shanghai Film Studio were often invited by some film crews to film. One time the crew clearly stated that they would be picked up by a car, but one day after the filming was finished, the crew said that there were other arrangements for the vehicle, allowing the old artists to take a taxi home by themselves. Wen Xiying's temper came up as soon as she heard her "stubborn" temper. He didn't take a taxi, but let the crew make arrangements.
Afterwards, a friend asked him about him, and he told the truth: It turned out that he couldn't understand the crew not taking the old artist seriously, and only wandered around the ass of a few beautiful actresses all day.
Some people say Wen Xiying is too real. I think he is very cute.
Wen Xiying is not only a good actor on the screen, but also an excellent voice actor off the screen. He has dubbed many foreign films, such as dubbing the role of the mayor in "The Imperial Envoy", and also won the personal first prize of the Excellent Film Awards from 1949 to 1957. In addition, his voice appears in films such as "Little Hero", "Peter the Great", "Mother", "Gorgeous Family", and "Snake".
Wen Xiying retired from Shanghai Film Studio in the 1980s. However, he has been retiring from his post and has been playing his aftermath for the development of the film industry. Not only does he often participate in acting and filming, he also writes scripts at home, and has directed films such as "Special Family", which truly reflects the self-worth of an old artist.
On December 14, 2008, Wen Xiying, a famous performing artist at Shanghai Film Studio, died of illness at the age of 88.
