There are many talented women in the past and the present, but Zhang Ailing must be a leader, she is lonely by nature, and refuses to be thousands of miles away. However, her masterpiece has written all the glitz of the world and the love of the world.
Zhang Ailing once said: I thought that love can fill the regrets of life. However, create more regrets. But it is love.
The use of talented women to describe Zhang Ailing is ultimately a little incomplete, perhaps it is more appropriate to use a strange woman to describe, but such a strange woman, but also can not be exempt from vulgarity, still in love ups and downs.
A writer with a story, her story, naturally more gripping, writer Wang Anyi once said: Only novels are the meaning of Zhang Ailing. Therefore, the result of the acquaintance is to grab Zhang Ailing out of the novel and then return it to the novel.
She seems to have been born for literature, and in addition to many addictive novels and essays, she has also created many film scripts, which many audiences will never forget, such as "Long Live the Wife", "Can't Love", "Mourning Middle-aged", "Love Field Like a Battlefield" and so on.
Released in 1947, "Long Live the Wife", which is really a star-studded and veritable big production, was directed by Sang Arc, who had directed China's first color film "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", the first color feature film "Blessing", and the first stereoscopic film "The Adventure of the Magician", directed by Zhang Ailing.
I have not seen the list of actors and I feel very reliable, the beautiful and elegant Shanghai Film Studio's famous "hard Lizi" Jiang Tianliu, the traffic as Shangguan Yunzhu, the veteran tough guy Zhang Fa, known as the drama emperor Shi Hua, in addition to a group of strength to bear such as Han Fei, Lin Hazel, Cui Chaoming, Cheng Zhi, etc., any one of the actors, can support a play.
The film tells the story of Jiang Tianliu, who plays Chen Sizhen, and Zhang Fa, who plays Tang Zhiyuan, after getting married, and doing everything in their power to be a virtuous wife, but encountering the story of her husband's cheating.
The story seems to be very cheesy, but the details are true, Chen Sizhen, although born rich, is a capable housewife, she often handles interpersonal relationships with white lies and the most appropriate attitude.
With her wisdom, she finally won the recognition of others, a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of her mother-in-law, a good wife recognized by her husband, a good sister-in-law praised by her sister-in-law, and a good boss admired by the maid.
However, life is always unsatisfactory, Chen Sizhen has not been able to rely on her own maneuvering, for her husband to get her father's financial support to start a company, but the husband who has a smooth business is a golden house.
She is very sad, but for the sake of her husband's reputation, she chose to be patient, which is a true portrayal of the real life of many Chinese women, but the reality is always very cruel, and all the lies are pulled down after the husband's bankruptcy.
Chen Sizhen wants to divorce her husband and end this seemingly absurd past after helping her husband complete the aftermath, but she mistakenly bumps into her brother and sister-in-law's secret wedding.
Considering the overall situation, she once again chose to lie with good faith and set aside her divorce. Under the mediation of the lawyer, Chen Sizhen finally chose to forgive her husband and continue their lives.
Chen Sizhen in the film is envious of how many others, but Tang Zhiyuan, as a husband, does not cherish it at all, and their family is the epitome of how many real families?
Life situation has an unfortunate trend, happiness is always mixed with a little bitterness, as a screenwriter Zhang Ailing is yearning for poetic, aesthetic films, but only poetic and ordinary life, but without interesting plot connection, the film experience will be very boring.
In order to cater to the audience's hobbies, Zhang Ailing cleverly chose the style of custom comedy, and film critic, playwright and producer Jiao Xiongping once commented: In the entire history of Chinese cinema, the film is definitely an underrated masterpiece.
For a work, it is natural that the benevolent see the wise and the wise see the wise, but Jiang Tianliu interprets Chen Sizhen, the Shanghai wife with the opinion, the wisdom and courage, and the virtuous and capable, vividly and vividly, and her left and right are all on the screen.
This film, which has been released for 73 years, is frankly still relevant today, and it also has some help and tips for more women in marriage.
Jiang Tianliu's outstanding performance in the film also made her career reach its peak, becoming a popular movie star at the time, although she said that the characteristics of Shanghai women are very well displayed, but she herself is not a native Shanghainese.
Jiang Tianliu, born in 1921 in Taicang, Jiangsu Province, formerly known as Jiang Yongchun, when she was young, her family was well off, and she studied at the Primary School Affiliated to Taicang Normal School and Taicang Normal School.
In 1936, at the age of 15, he was admitted to the Suzhou Academy of Fine Arts to continue his studies, but it was a war-torn era, and she was forced to interrupt her studies and take refuge in Shanghai with her family.
In 1938, he was admitted to Shanghai South Middle School again, when Shanghai was full of patriotic drama performances, and Jiang Tianliu also participated in the performance of progressive dramas such as "Brand marks" and "Put Down Your Whip".
Jiang Tianliu will go to the stage of art, in fact, to a large extent, by the influence of his father, who was a teacher, but his thinking is progressive, he is still a fan of drama, and he is also very supportive of his daughter's idea of singing and wanting to be an actor.
Therefore, in 1940, after jiang Tianliu entered Shanghai Datong University at the age of 19, he still did not give up his drama performance, and was admitted to the Shanghai Drama Art Society in the same year.
Later, due to family changes, she was forced to terminate her studies and become a full-time actor, and successively worked in the Huayi Theater Troupe and the China Art Drama Society, and starred in "The Tale of the Round Lie", "Home", "YunCaixia", "Drama Spring and Autumn", "Grass and Trees are Soldiers" and other dramas.
In 1944, she returned to campus again and entered the Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences in Chengdu to continue her studies, but later she chose to return to the Shanghai Drama Art Society and continue to be an actress, and starred in dramas such as "Peacock Bile" and "Fangcao Tianya".
In 1947, the 26-year-old Jiang Tianliu finally got the opportunity to appear on the big screen and starred in the female number two in "Mother and Son", and then she was invited to star in "Long Live the Wife", ushering in the peak of her career.
Later, with the founding of New China, he entered the Shanghai Film Studio, became a professional film actor, and starred in many films such as "Between Our Husband and Wife", "Labor Blossom", "The People's Giant Palm", "Infinite Potential", "Nurse's Diary", "Dead Wood Fengchun", "Big Li Xiao Li and Old Li" and many other films.
She also collaborated with Yang Xiaozhong and Yin Zi on the film script "The Secret of the Treasure Gourd". Although in later works, she mostly played supporting roles, she still enjoyed it because it was the stage she loved.
Because in her later years, her health was not good, so she retired in 1977, but she was not really idle, in 1990, she also played Xia Mu in the TV series "Yang Naiwu and Little Cabbage", a graceful and atmospheric image, which is still fresh in people's memories.
In her later years, she also studied calligraphy and painting, and her achievements were not low, and even many famous artists in the pear garden industry treasured her works.
However, everyone is equal in the face of illness, and later she was bedridden for many years, but her enthusiasm for life did not diminish, unfortunately, on December 19, 2012, the old artist died of heart rhythm failure at the age of 91 due to ineffective treatment.
In the face of illness, no one can replace anyone, and health is the capital of the revolution. May there be no sickness in heaven, and may old artists still be able to swim freely in the art they love!
