In the 1980s, the North Film Studio had three famous flowers, they were Zhang Jinling, Li Xiuming and Liu Xiaoqing, which were the ace stars of the North Film Studio, the love general of the factory director Wang Yang, they shuttled through the major studios of the North Film Studio, they also often appeared in the film crew of the Brother Factory, and the peers of the Brother Factory also had different degrees of contact, interestingly, they intersected with the head of the Studio, Hua Dan Zhang Yu, and wrote an unforgettable chapter in the special era.
In 1974, the studio that interrupted the shooting of feature films for several years began to shoot new films, this good news spread throughout the factory, the old artists finally looked forward to this day, they came up with the best state to meet the new task, this year began to shoot 4 new feature films, the most popular of which was the new version of "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", the role of Liu Sijie in the film is more favored by many actresses, but most of them are not suitable for age. Liu Sijie is a rural girl who has lived by the Yangtze River since childhood, healthy and simple, beautiful and generous, so the age of the actor must not be too big, and to act like the wind, with its own local atmosphere, and finally the director selected Zhang Jinling from the Hubei Provincial Repertory Theatre, Zhang Jinling is a peasant girl, from childhood at home to do agricultural work, very capable, people love! Shortly after graduating from high school, he became a drama actor and left his hometown. Xiao Zhang came to the studio for the first time, and it was the first time to shoot a film, the scene was heavy, it was inevitable that there would be discomfort, but unfortunately there was no young actress in this crew, if you can find sisters of the same age, how good it would be!
What a coincidence! Just as the filming was about to be in the post, the "Spring Miao" crew of the Shanghai Film Studio started up, and the film was based on a drama, which had a great impact at the time. The role of Chunmiao has also been searched many times, and Zhang Jinling has also been considered, but the role of Liu Sijie has not yet been completed, and the director will not agree to her to go to the scene no matter what. The final opportunity fell to Li Xiuming, a student of Tianjin Renyi. Li Chang's thick eyebrows and big eyes, there is drama in his eyes. Xie Jin is very satisfied with her, in this movie Chunmiao has a good sister named Lianlian, Lianlian although young, but is a very clever and cute little girl, she is a good assistant and supporter of Chunmiao's work, this role is used in the film studio just recently entered the new actor Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu was only 17 years old at the time, in the play outside the scene she followed Xiuming sister, really a small follower, Li Xiuming also likes this smart and beautiful little girl, friendship is also formed on and off the set!
The new version of "Crossing the River" and "Spring Miao" are filmed in the Jiangnan area, the crew is not far away, the young people know each other quickly, and soon the three girls will know each other, because of similar ages, similar interests, 3 people have become good friends, Zhang Yu is the youngest, in front of the two big sisters, she is the oldest from the film, they exchange feelings about filming together, talking about the little secrets between girls. Time always passes quickly, Zhang Jinling is about to end the filming task, she and the two are reluctant to give up, they will cooperate again after they meet, the three girls asked the photographer to leave an unforgettable group photo for them. We can see from the photos that Zhang Yu is smiling the happiest! After all, she is still a child, and she likes to be colorful, which is innocent and cute! Zhang Jinling is like a big sister, steady and mature, Li Xiuming combs the popular hairstyle at that time, full of spirit!
After several years of hard work, the new stars of that year have undergone a change of birth, Zhang Jinling and Li Xiuming have entered the North Film Studio to become professional film actors, and Liu Xiaoqing is listed as the "Three Flowers of the North Film". And that childish little Zhang Yu also became a big girl, performed "Lushan Love" on the screen, became the youth memory of a generation, and the two sisters were happy for the achievements of Xiao Zhang Yu.
In April 1981, the fourth "Popular Film" Hundred Flowers Award and the first Film Golden Rooster Award were announced in Hangzhou, and Zhang Yu won the double award after winning the film crown, becoming the most beautiful actress of the year. At this time, Zhang Jinling is at the trough of art, her previous year's shooting of "Huang Yinggu" was criticized as too false, carefully filmed, just finished the "Sisters" due to various reasons and banned, which is a great blow to a young actor with a pursuit, she quietly wiped away tears, and went to shoot the North Film Studio version of "Xu Mao and His Daughters", this time she went to Li Xiuming as a match, really played a sister in the film.
The honor paid off, Li Xiuming's efforts were rewarded, in the second year's film double awards activities, Li Xiuming won the best actress award of the film double awards of that year with the wonderful performance of "Xu Mao", And Zhang Yu participated in the awards event as the winner of the previous year. The sisters were thrilled during the event, Zhang Yu congratulated her, they chatted together, and recalled the past of working together. It is particularly regrettable that this year's Hundred Flowers Awards did not set up the Best Supporting Actress Award, otherwise Zhang Jinling's three girls in "Xu Mao" have the greatest possibility of winning, and what a happy scene it would be for the three sisters to appear on the same stage!
