After the last introduction of "Dead Wood and Spring", My grandfather recommended another classic film for me - "Early Spring february". I've heard of this famous film for a long time. The screenplay of the film is adapted from the novel "February" created by Roushi, directed by Xie Tieli, a big director we have also seen many of his works and are very relieved about his strength. At that time, most of everyone's pastime was to watch movies, and when the movie was released in theaters, it was even difficult to get a ticket. Not only do fans love it, but even I, the average audience, are immersed in it.
In this film, such a story is told. Xiao Jianqiu, a frustrated intellectual youth, met the wise and beautiful Tao Lan in Furong Town, fell in love with her, and later helped the widow Wen Sister-in-law, but Xiao Jianqiu and Tao Lan were separated because of gossip, and finally the two joined the revolution together. From the plot point of view, it is really a twist and turn!
When I first watched "Early Spring february", I was deeply attracted by the actors of this movie, Sun Daolin, Xie Fang, Shangguan Yunzhu as the main actors, everyone is familiar with them.
Through this movie, everyone got to know the handsome Sun Daolin. In "Early Spring and February", he played Xiao Jianqiu, a downcast intellectual youth, dressed neatly and personable in speech and manners. Tao Lan, played by Xie Fang, is really a handsome man and a beautiful woman, born a pair. This famous movie star in the studio was also introduced in our previous article "The Eternal Wave". In addition, he has also starred in "The Crow and the Sparrow", "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", "Thunderstorm" and so on. His handsome image has always remained in my mind.
Sun Daolin was clear and handsome in appearance, known as the "Male God of the Shadows", and there were many girls who liked him very much at that time. But because he has been immersed in the acting career, it has delayed his life's events. Finally, under the introduction of a friend, he met the Yue opera actor Wang Wenjuan. Although the art forms are different, they can tolerate each other, especially their love story, which is very touching. Whether it is good times or bad times, the two still do not give up and support each other. When in love, it has always been Sun Daolin who sent Wang Wenjuan home, but when he was old, it was Sun Daolin who took the first step. On December 28, 2007, Elder Sun passed away at the age of 86.
Xiao Jianqiu's beloved girl Tao Lan, played by Xie Fang. Xiao Jianqiu and Tao Lan, because of the bits and pieces of getting along in life, are in agreement, but they are also forced to separate because of misunderstandings in life, which makes people sigh. Tao Lan's appearance in this movie is very beautiful, the image of a young and beautiful girl is very popular, and the large and intelligent eyes are very charming.
Actress Xie Fang of the North Film Studio played Tao Lan in the film. Speaking of Xie Fang, I think everyone remembers her big sparkling eyes, as if she was talking to us. I think it is because of the influence of the family environment since childhood, and her parents are intellectuals, so Xie Fang also looks very civilized.
Xie Fang debuted from the movie "Song of Youth", and later filmed films such as "Stage Sisters", "Tear Stains", and "Second Handshake". In the decades of film, she has learned acting skills and accumulated fans step by step. Many fans believe that the Lin Daojing and Tao Lan she portrayed are eternal classics that are difficult to match. In the 1961 "22 Stars" selection, Xie Fang was listed among them, along with the actors Sun Daolin and Shangguan Yunzhu who had worked together in "Early Spring february". In 2016, Xie Fang won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the 33rd Hundred Flowers Awards.
Now that Xie Fang is 85 years old, we can see from recent photos that although wrinkles have climbed onto her face, those bright eyes have not changed in the slightest, recalling the bright girl who once was.
Shangguan Yunzhu played the widow Wen Yunzhu in "Early Spring february", this role is completely different from the impression that Shangguan Yunzhu left in people's minds before, Wen Yunzhu is lonely and aging, and more often, the Shangguan Yunzhu we see in the movie is a beautiful and moving appearance. Sister-in-law Wen's husband died very early, she raised two children alone, and the mental damage caused by the exhaustion of life and gossip, especially the death of her beloved son, became the last straw that overwhelmed her, and she could no longer bear it.
In this movie, Shangguan Yunzhu proves himself through acting skills, not what social rumors say, but a "vase" with light and beauty. When Sister-in-law Wen first appeared, I wondered, is this plainly dressed middle-aged woman really Shangguan Yunzhu? As a great beauty, when playing this role, she did not maintain her beautiful image, but devoted herself to the role and concentrated on performing every scene. As one of the "22 stars", she has created a number of screen roles, which impressed us, such as socialites, orphan girls, revolutionary fighters and so on. Unfortunately, Shangguan Yunzhu fell to his death in 1968 at the age of 48. A beautiful flower of the film world withered away.
In addition to the vivid acting skills of these impressive protagonists, the performances of the supporting characters are also indisputable.
Gao Bo played Tao Lan's older brother Tao Mukan in the movie. Gao Bo is an old actor in the studio, there are too many films he has shot, and his drama path is really too wide, the protagonist, the villain, the supporting role, he has acted, you can see the depth of his acting skills, otherwise he can show these complex roles so easily?
When he is no longer young, his acting skills are still amazing, and the roles he plays range from handsome young people to simple old people, and these roles also make him called the "four old students" together with Xing Jitian, Zhang Ping, and Pu Ke. Unfortunately, in 1992, Gao Bo died at the age of 74. This old drama bone left us with deep nostalgia.
Wang Pei played Qian Zhengxing in the movie, successfully created an image of a rude and unreasonable rich family, and after pursuing Tao Lan without results, he hated because of love and hatred, adding obstacles to the love of Xiao and Tao. Wang Pei has not made many films, he is mainly in the drama of achievements, so the portrayal of the screen role is very few, such as Zhang Junchang in "Southern Expedition and Northern War". Therefore, many moviegoers are not deeply impressed by him. In 1997, Wang Pei died of illness in Beijing at the age of 70.
Liu Zhao plays Teacher Fang, although in "Early Spring february", his shots are few, or even not the main supporting role, but he successfully played an old stubborn image. Although it has never been popular, it has created many familiar screen images, such as Second Uncle Tang in "Sweet Cause" and Director Hu in "How Beautiful is the Night". On March 8, 2003, the veteran artist died of illness at the age of 83.
This "Early Spring February" is really a classic, the beautiful Yu Ping and Huang Suying as supporting roles, although the picture in the movie flashed by, but their performance is still wonderful. On November 22, 2017, Huang Suying died of illness at the age of 99. Yu Ping is now alive, over eighty years old.
