Anti-special films are a kind of Chinese film that people like very much. After the founding of New China, the anti-special films that we are familiar with include "Tiger's Den Tracking", "Yangcheng Dark Sentinel", "National Day Ten O'Clock", "Railway Guard", "Visitor on the Iceberg" and so on.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a number of Kuomintang reactionaries still lurked on the mainland, plotting to sabotage socialist construction and threaten the safety of people's lives and property. These films mainly tell the story of the people's police fighting with these Kuomintang agents, and finally sweeping away the extremely deeply buried secret agents.
In the 1970s, anti-special films began to be listed as a key development project by various film studios. In just a few years, various film studios have come up with a number of excellent anti-special films.
Pearl River Film Studio's "Fighting Sharks" and "Fog Is Vast"; Changchun Film Studio's "Reef" and "Bear Traces"; Bayi Film Studio's "Hunting Character No. 99"; Shanghai Film Studio's "Donggang Spy Film" and so on.
These films have brought people's cultural life after tea and dinner, people talk about the thrilling plot in the movie, the wisdom of the male protagonist of the public security bureau, the handsomeness and handsomeness of the public security policemen and a good kung fu, the cunning of the hidden agents, and the fierceness of the final fight scene.
If someone asks today, if you can remember the anti-special films of the 70s, more people may say "The Handcuffed Passenger", or "Black Triangle". Especially the "Black Triangle" of the North Film Studio, let people talk about it, there are still many topics. "Black Triangle" filmed by North Film Studio in 1977, why did it have such a big response?
The film by Beiying Studio brings together Liu Jia and Lei Ming (who played the king of wuji country in the TV series Journey to the West), Ling Yuan and Zhang Ping (one of the twenty-two biggest movie stars in China), Cao Cuifen (the second aunt in "The Big Red Lantern Hangs High"), Qin Wen (and Qin Yi are sisters); and Li Jian (Grandma Gazi in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga"). Even small supporting roles are brilliant, such as Zhang Yan (Jiang Maofu in "The Laughter of Moon Bay"). But the most unforgettable thing is Liu Jia.
Liu Jia, that was a big beauty at that time. It is precisely because of Liu Jia's excellent image that Liu Jia, who is still a student in the crew, was selected as the heroine of the film when she went to Heilongjiang Art School. In the film, he played Yu Qiulan, a piano actor in a literary troupe. At that time, Liu Jia was only 18 years old.
Yu Qiulan in the movie is a young girl, a pair of big eyes can be said to be like autumn water" "bright eyes and good eyes", the smile is very bright, which makes us accustomed to a huge change after the heroine who showed the image of workers, peasants and soldiers in the past and was full of "class struggle". It is said that at that time, Liu Jia was called "one dime and four", because the movie ticket price at that time was "one dime and five", of which one dime and four were directed at Liu Jia.
Liu Jia, who has just stepped on the screen, has not lived up to the director's hopes, not only with her outstanding appearance, but also by virtue of her acting skills to conquer the audience. Especially after learning that his own parents were killed by secret agents, and his mother who had lived with him for many years was a latent agent, the shock, grief, and hatred were particularly well represented. Especially in the end, yu Huangshi was replaced with clever tricks to poison her with water in the cup, Yu Huang's identity was exposed, Yu Qiulan grabbed Yu Huang's collar and said" "You dog agent", the image of love and hatred and righteous indignation still makes the audience remember to this day.
In 1978, Liu Jia was admitted to the coveted Beijing Film Academy with excellent results and continued her studies at the university. During the four years of college, Liu Jia filmed continuously. After graduating from university, he was assigned to work at Tianjin Television Station.
When Liu Jia was recognized again, it was already in the 21st century. In 2005, Liu Jia created the artistic image of Ren Changxia, director of the Public Security Bureau of Dengfeng City, Henan Province, in the TV series "Ren Changxia", and Liu Jia showed the audience on the TV screen that Ren Changxia's grand duke was selfless, sacrificed himself for the people, jealousy and hatred, feared rape, impartial law enforcement, and clear love and hatred.
For a time, the audience's remembrance and admiration for Director Ren Changxia was further enhanced. Liu Jia created a vivid artistic image of the public security bureau chief. With the successful portrayal of Ren Changxia, Liu Jia won the "Most Popular Actress Award" and "Best Performing Arts Award" at the 6th TV Golden Eagle Awards.
Then, Liu Jia portrayed Wu Feng in the star-studded "Home with Nine Phoenixes", which is the fifth daughter of the old lady (Li Mingqi) in the play, and Liu Yueji was portrayed in "Gobi Mother". Every year, Liu Jia has a masterpiece. But now, Liu Jia has conquered the audience not by virtue of her outstanding appearance, but by relying on her acting skills, and has won successive awards, including: the 24th China Television Golden Eagle Award "Most Popular Actress Award", the 27th China Television Feitian Awards "60 Years of Chinese Film and Television Outstanding Contribution Award".
Yu Huang in the movie "Black Triangle" is a long-term lurking female agent. There are many female agents in traditional movies: Qu Manli in "Sentinel under Neon Lights", Alain in "Heroic Tiger Guts", Bagu in "Yangcheng Dark Sentinel", Liu Nina in "The Eternal Radio Wave", and The Fake Guran Dam in "The Visitor on the Iceberg".
The image of these female spies is often solidified: beautiful, young, charming, permed hair, smoked, drank, danced, and spoke in a tone. We look at the habitual spies should be like this.
However, the female agent Yu Huang in "Black Triangle" is not the case, subverting the traditional secret agent image. When Yu Huangshi in the movie began to appear, it was the ordinary old lady who sold popsicles around us, looking so kind. With the development of the plot, Yu Huang only revealed his vicious face, and the sinister and vicious nature of the female agent made the audience in front of the screen shudder.
Playing Huang is the famous actor Ling Yuan of the Beijing Film Studio, who has always been familiar with the image of playing the kind bride on the screen. Chen Lizhong and Li Jian of the North Film Studio are known for playing the old lady. The fat captain in "Icing on the Cake", Li Xiangyang's mother in "Plain Guerrilla", Aunt Tian in "Sweet Cause", and Zhu Laozhong's wife in "Red Flag Spectrum" are all the audience's favorite screen images.
In 1977, Ling Yuan took over the filming of "Black Triangle", and at first he was unwilling, who wanted to play an annoying female agent? But in those days, obedience to organizational arrangements was a common creed. Ling Yuan accepted the role of Yu Huang and was determined to create this image. To resolutely avoid facebook is Ling Yuan's first thought, the usual female agent can let the audience see at a glance, the female agents they portray should be different from other "beautiful" female agents.
The most memorable thing for the audience is the sinister look in the film when Yu Huang hides behind the door and peeks through the crack of the door, which becomes a nightmare for children at that time, and even adults feel terrible when they think about it. There is also Yu Huang's classic line in the movie "Owl he flew, you can't find him", now that it is said, it is still so tacit, people will laugh.
It feels like this is a female agent who has been smoking for decades. Every time after shooting the smoking shot, Ling Yuan will be dizzy, sore throat, in order to shape a good female agent Yu Huang, Ling Yuan paid too much hard work, showing a high degree of professionalism. Because Ling Yuan's female agents are too perfect, walking on the street, children will shout "female agents", "water ducks", "female agents who buy popsicles" The success of "Black Triangle" is very important because the "old lady who sells popsicles" created by Ling Yuan is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Another important reason for the success of "Black Triangle" is the movie interlude "The Springs of the Frontier" is clear and pure.
"The Springs of the Frontier Are Clear and Pure" can be said to be a combination of words, songs and singing, which has become one of the hallmarks of that era.
The lyricist is the famous lyricist Kai Chuan. Kai Chuan is a middle school Chinese teacher in Beijing, because of his deep love for classical literature, coupled with his own talent and diligence, Kai Chuan has left us with many popular lyrics: "The Spring Water of the Frontier is Clear and Pure", "Sister Finds Brother Tears", "White Feathers Send Affection", "Clouds in the Sky", "Youth Ah Youth" and so on.
Every post-70s and post-80s generation grew up listening to the lyrics created by Kai Chuan. The characteristics of the lyrics are easy to understand, but they are definitely not the people of Xia riba, and they cannot create catchy lyrics without deep cultural accumulation and literary accomplishment. "The Spring Water of the Frontier is Clear and Pure" is the lyrics written by Kai Chuan in 1970 when he was collecting wind in Heilongjiang, and later became the lyrics of the interlude of the movie "Black Triangle".
The composer of "The Springs of the Frontier Is Clear and Pure" is the famous composer Wang Mo. In the 1980s, Wang Mo and another composer, Wang Liping, were called the "Second King" of film composition. It is very coincidental that Wang Liping composed music for the 1987 version of the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber", and made great contributions to the success of the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber". Wang, on the other hand, composed music for the film Dream of the Red Chamber directed by Xie Tieli of beijing film studio.
Wang Mo's famous representative works are the movies "Black Triangle", "Cherry Blossom", "Little Flower", "Zhiyin", "Haixia", and "The Forgotten Corner of Love". The film "Black Triangle" episode was sung all over the country in the late 1970s, inside and outside the Great Wall, because of the lyrical nature of the music, which changed the heroic and high-spirited style of previous music songwriting. The soothing rhythm and the beautiful melody make people stretch their brows when they are melancholy, calm down when they are manic, and ignite their fighting spirit when they are depressed. Wang Mo's film music creation closely follows the pulse of the times and becomes the symbol of that era.
Up to now, many concerts will also have singers singing "White Feathers Send Affection", "Corner Song", "Sister Finds Brother Tears", "Mom, Look at Me". Many of the large number of movie songs sung by singer Li Guyi were composed by Wang Mo, just as Shi Guangnan and Guan Mucun cooperated, Wang Mo and Li Guyi are the best partners. It is a great pity that the composer Wang Mo died young in 1997, otherwise he would have been able to dedicate more masterpieces to us.
Another important reason for the success of "The Springs of the Frontier" is Li Guyi's singing. Lee guy was the head of film interludes from the late 1970s to the 1980s. At that time, in addition to Li Guyi and Zhu Fengbo, the two singers almost monopolized all the film interludes at that time.
This song was interpreted by Li Guyi with great affection, singing the feelings of the people on the frontier and the soldiers and civilians of the border defense army, and the deep friendship between the military and the people. It was Li Guyi's affectionate singing that made this song the sixth of the fifteen most beloved songs among listeners in the early 1980s in the selection of songs that listeners liked by the Central People's Radio and Song Magazine. Of the fifteen songs, Li Guyi sang four. It can be seen how much influence Li Guyi had at that time.
We forget a lot of movie plots, but the interludes and theme songs are still familiar to us, and we can still hum and sing. For example, the movie "Willow Dark Flowers and Bright Flowers", the plot is forgotten, but Li Guyi's "Flower Creek Water" still sounds so kind today. The plot of the movie "She Came from the Fog" is also blurred, but Li Guyi's "Heart, Spread Your Wings and Fly to the Clear Sky" can still take us back to Harbin in the early 1980s. The specific plot of the movie "Mountain City Snow" cannot be remembered, but the interlude "Thinking of Yan'an" sung by Li Guyi still makes us yearn for Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, and will miss the great achievements of the older generation of revolutionaries.
"The Springs of the Frontier Are Clear and Pure" is a sign of that era.
A film that audiences still relish years later is contributed to by a variety of factors. The success of "Black Triangle" is, on the one hand, the vivid twists and turns of the storyline, as well as the diligence of many actors, especially the performances of Liu Jia and Ling Yuan, and then the beauty of the music and the refreshing interlude. "Black Triangle" will have its own place in the future history of Chinese film development. After being remade into a TV series in 2007, people still have a soft spot for the movie "Black Triangle".
