Today we specifically talk about her because there is a fan friend who has left me a message in the background more than once, hoping that I can talk about her situation again.
To be honest, she is also a child star that I personally like very much. Although it has been too many years since I first watched her participate in the film, the well-behaved and cuteness she showed in the movie has made me unforgettable for a long time.
I guess there are more friends like me, right?
This little child star is Ma Jia. Do you remember her?
For a while, I thought she was the little girl with the dove in her arms in the famous poster "We Love Peace", but I later learned that it was not. But the feeling of the two is really similar, they are the kind of happy little girl born in New China and grew up under the red flag, which makes people's hearts particularly bright when they see it.
I think that many friends remember the name Ma Jia, starting from the movie "Little Bells" directed by Xie Tian, right? But I'm not, I know her through the movie "Early Spring February".
"Early Spring February" was filmed in 1963 and is based on Roushi's novel February. The director was Xie Tieli, and the main actors were Sun Daolin, Xie Fang, Shangguan Yunzhu and others, all of whom were the most dazzling movie stars at that time. So as soon as the movie was released, it caused a sensation.
At the beginning of the film, Xiao Jianqiu, played by Sun Daolin, came to the deck because he could not stand the dirty and dull air in the cabin. The oncoming breeze makes him feel extremely comfortable, and the scenery of early spring on both sides of the river also makes him feel relaxed. At this time, an orange rolled to his feet, he bent down to pick it up, a little girl with a white rope tied in her hair, came to him, reached out to take the orange, and then returned to Wen Sister-in-law (played by Shangguan Yunzhu), who was immersed in a state of mourning, and asked in a milky voice: Mother, can you eat oranges when you get home?
A very simple line shows the innocence, well-behavedness, and ignorance of a little girl.
This little girl is Sister-in-law Wen's daughter Cailian. And the actor who picked the lotus is Ma Jia.
After seeing this movie, some people think that Ma Jia is an "unprecedented" child star. I'm impressed with that.
First of all, her performance has no traces and is basically completely immersed in the characters. It makes people feel that she is the lotus, and the lotus is her. Secondly, at such a young age, she knows how to cooperate with the camera, and when she becomes the background, she is obedient, quiet, and does not steal the scene at all, but when she becomes the center of the camera, she can immediately reflect the most suitable state of the role.
Moreover, the cooperation between her and Shangguan Yunzhu, Sun Daolin and other big stars is also extremely tacit, every move is so appropriate, and the relationship between the characters is also very in place.
We have to admire director Xie Tieli's skill in choosing actors.
At the same time, I was also amazed by Ma Jia's natural expressiveness.
Of course, she is also very beautiful, with the typical rustic energy of children in the 50s and 60s.
There is a kind of person who should be born to be an actor, and I think Ma Jia is such a child star.
Later, I saw her again in Little Bells. She and another child star who became popular in the 60s, Shi Xiaoman, played a pair of brothers and sisters in the movie. The two are designed to be clever and naughty, xiao man played by Shi Xiaoman, and Xiao Jia, played by Ma Jia, who is well-behaved and sensible.
There are a few passages in the film that I still remember vividly, and I think everyone will not forget them, right? That is, when Xiao Man insisted on playing with the small bell of the puppet he found for two days, Xiao Jia kept chasing after him and doing "thought work" for him, which made the audience very happy.
For example, when Xiao Man hugged the little bell and said, "Just let it play with us", Xiao Jia said seriously, "My mother and teacher told us that when we pick up things, we should give them back." He begged Xiao Man again, "Good brother, send it back earlier, there are many children who are still waiting to see the program it performs." ”
But Xiao Man still wanted to play with the little bell for two days, so when his sister didn't pay attention, he pulled out his leg and ran, and Xiao Jia also chased after him, shouting while chasing: Brother, you send the little bell back, I will give you my rag doll, okay? ......“
At that time, in the movie theater, I heard many parents say: If Xiao jia is my daughter, how good it would be.
Yes, at that time, who didn't want to have a good child like Xiao Jia who was beautiful, sensible, and considerate of the overall situation?
Because of "Early Spring February" and "Little Bells", Ma Jia, like Shi Xiaoman, became the most popular and audience favorite child star of the 60s.
Later, after growing up, Shi Xiaoman continued to engage in acting work, and now he has become an old drama bone active on the silver screen. But Ma Jia, there was no news.
I remember in the 80s, because the movie "Little Bells" was so popular, director Xie Tian also made a sequel, and still found Shi Xiaoman and Ma Jia, who had grown up, to make cameos. At that time, Ma Jia was also a cellist in Chinese children's art. When she grew up, Ma Jia had some differences from when she was young, and seemed to be a little melancholy, so many viewers did not recognize her.
After that, we never saw her on or on the screen again.
When I first read the message of the fan friend in the background, I began to use my friend relationship to inquire about Ma Jia's news, but there was no exact news. I have also tried to look it up online, but the information about child actress Ma Jia on the Internet is very limited. The results of the search are almost all Ma Jia, who played Li Yuanba in "The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes", or Ma Jia, who participated in the "Sound into People's Hearts" program, or Ma Jia, a Peking Opera actor at the Beijing Opera House in Heilongjiang Province.
This is not the same person as the childhood friend we were looking for.
Where is ma jia, a child star who has played roles in "Early Spring February" and "Little Bells", where is it now?
It seems that we have to use the power of the platform to find her whereabouts. All along, I know that the netizens of the platform are magical, and before that, we have found many actors who have been lost for many years through the strength of everyone. Today, I also hope that the almighty netizens, if they know ma jia's news, may wish to tell us through the message area. Here, Yaqing expresses his most heartfelt thanks to everyone.
