1905 Film Network News 1949-2019, New China has gone through 70 years of tragic years. The older generation of film workers shed their youth and passion for the film industry and created the glory of New China's film industry. In order to record and freeze the precious images of Chinese film artists, and to pay tribute to the older generation of filmmakers of the same age as New China, the CCTV-6 film channel will broadcast 70 episodes of the movie series character special program at 20:10 daily from September 1st. Cover-My Movie Story. The
program was filmed and interviewed 70 film artists over 70 years old, and a paragraph of oral "my film story" strung the past of the New China screen. Today we are sharing with the famous performing artist Xu Huanshan.
Xu Huanshan, a famous performing artist. In 1979, at the age of 42, he starred in the first movie "Sakura" in his life. Since 1980, he has been an actor in Xi'an Film Studio. In 1984, he starred in the film "Cold Night" based on Ba Jin's novel of the same name. Wang Wenxuan". (The following is a dictation by Xu Huanshan, compiled by the author)
In 1979, I received a message from my old classmate Lin Hongtong. He said that you are coming to Beijing quickly, and there is a movie he wants you to play. I went after listening. At this time, a person came over with a mimeographed booklet in his hand and said, "Hello Xu Huanshan, I am your junior. My name is Zhan Xiangchi, I work in the director department. I want to make a movie called "Sakura", please Look at this script", he left after speaking.
After about forty minutes, Zhan Xiangchi came back and asked me, "Do you like this book?" I told him frankly, I haven't read it seriously yet. How do you want me to help? He said, "I would like to invite you to play the actor in it. I just saw the scene where you met with your old classmates and the teacher. That is the scene I want. It's too real. The actor in this drama will decide you." So, I agreed to act. After the movie
was released, I didn't expect that the response would be so big, almost all praise and praise. Later, I thought about it. Actually, in terms of performance, this film is not a fine product. It can only be said that such a film suddenly appeared at a special historical stage and opened up a new situation in front of Chinese audiences.
The scene of "Cold Night" also came very suddenly. I suddenly received a call. This call was made by Wang Yang (the director of the Beijing Film Studio at the time) himself. He said Comrade Xu Huanshan, next year I hope you can make two plays for us at Beiying. One is "Cold Night" and the other is "Hubs Club".
The project "Cold Night" was controversial at the time. At that time, Beiying had a famous old actor. He said that Xu Huanshan was a good actor, but he seemed inappropriate to play this role. why? The veteran actor said that he is so tall, how can he play a weak intellectual who is suffering from lung disease and is dying?
Amidst opposition, I still acted against the wind. Of course, I set many thresholds for myself. One is to lose weight. I never wear leather shoes when I walk. They are all old cloth shoes. There is no sound when I walk. And always walk aside, maintain a humble and conciliatory attitude, without looking up.
Sometimes I still cough lightly, looking for the morbid feeling, the feeling that small people and small intellectuals are oppressed. The creation of a play is indeed a kind of experience for a person, not only to find a kind of exaggeration, but also to find his inner basis. When filming "Cold Night", we went to the East China Hospital to visit Ba Jin. At that time, he was sitting on the sickbed and said that my novel was finished. As for how you make it, anyway, I don't understand movies, so I just follow the director and screenwriter. I hope and believe that you can make this movie well.
Therefore, we really dare not neglect this movie. When filming the movie, I wore a fur vest and sometimes a big neck. The heat was so hot that the back was covered with prickly heat. It was very difficult, but no one complained, and finally the movie was successfully completed.
Our current box office should be said to be rising steadily. China now has no shortage of good screenwriters, good actors, and no shortage of funds. So in the new face of socialism in the new era, how should this cultural self-confidence be reflected in movies?
I think that our leading departments and cultural departments should take good care of them. This is my point of view. We should produce more movies that can withstand the test of the masses and experts and that meet the Chinese dream.
