Modern Express News (reporter Li Yisuan Zheng Wenjing) Speaking of the most classic female characters in the history of new Chinese cinema, Li Shuangshuang, who debuted on the big screen in 1962, must be an indispensable member. In the movie "Li Shuangshuang", the spicy and straightforward, crying "fast mouth" Li Shuangshuang, the appearance is not amazing, the temperament is not outstanding, but the audience's love for her is beyond the times and across space.
More than 50 years ago, "everyone learns from Li Shuangshuang"
At present, the "Four Histories" education film class jointly launched by eight departments in Jiangsu has been officially launched, and among the 20 selected films, "Li Shuangshuang" is deeply loved by the audience. The Modern Express reporter noticed that during the movie, whenever Li Shuangshuang and her husband Xiwang quarreled and quarreled, but they were angry and crying by their husband, the audience would always laugh heartily.
When asked why he liked this black-and-white movie from 59 years ago, an audience member said to many people, "Li Shuangshuang in the movie is very real, fair-minded but some love to quarrel, and after arguing, there is no revenge, this role is really cute and sincere, vivid and vivid!" ”
The film "Li Shuangshuang" was born in 1962, based on Li Wei's novel "Li Shuangshuang's Biography", directed by Lu Ren, starring Zhang Ruifang and Zhong Xinghuo. In the movie, Li Shuangshuang and Sun Xiwang are husband and wife. Shuang Shuang is straightforward and dares to fight against selfishness and backwardness, while Xiwang is thick and simple, timid and afraid of things.
After Xiwang became a recorder of the production team, he and his deputy captain Jinqiao and the backward peasant Sun You had cheated for personal gain and used the convenience of their positions to record more work points.
At the same time, Sun You and his wife said a family affair in the city for their daughter Guiying, but Guiying and the young erchun in the team fell in love with each other, and both enthusiastically helped Guiying, not wanting to argue with Xiwang, who had just returned home.
During the autumn harvest, Xiwang saw that the production team had achieved a bumper harvest under the leadership of Shuangshuang, so he took the initiative to go home to reunite with his wife, inadvertently revealing that Jinqiao and Sun had embezzled transportation fees. Shuangshuang and Xiwang work together to help Jin Qiao and Sun You realize their mistakes, and the couple reconcile as before.
After the release of the film, the movie "Li Shuangshuang" won the praise of the audience, and the study of "Li Shuangshuang" activities was launched nationwide, the rural county and social screening teams were screened in the villages, and the urban cinema was screened all day, and for a time, Li Shuangshuang became a well-known figure in the country. The film also won four awards in 1963, including the Best Feature Film Award, the Best Screenplay Award, the Best Actress Award and the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 2nd China Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards.
The small note on the wall, the women quarreling, Li Shuangshuang was shaped in this way
The reason why Li Shuangshuang can become a classic character shining with stars in the long river of film history is inseparable from the true and distinct personality characteristics of the characters and the story full of "fireworks".
Some of the outstanding highlights in Li Shuangshuang's personality, such as a quick mouth, love to quarrel but do not remember revenge, etc., are actually derived from the real life experience of screenwriter Li Wei. In order to create "Li Shuangshuang", Li Wei went to the countryside to live for a few years, when he was arranged to live in the home of a female captain, only to see that the captain's home posted a lot of small notes, such as "I really want to study, I just don't have time" "Now I shake hands, it's really good, hold it with my right hand"... These notes gave Li a lot of creative inspiration.
In addition, Li Wei's various observations in the countryside can also find a shadow in the movie "Li Shuangshuang". During the gathering, Li Wei once helped hoe corn in a production team, and happened to watch a quarrel among women. At that time, a woman nicknamed "Tigress" quarreled with the group leader because of the matter of evaluating the work score, and for a while it was hilarious. There are many more such things, and it is precisely because of these observations that Li Wei has been able to create the image of Li Shuangshuang, a real, just, but also whirring new rural woman. The quarrels between Li Shuangshuang and her husband Xiwang are also Li Wei's observation that although some families have contradictions and quarrels from time to time, they are still very loving, so some light comedy elements are added to these paragraphs.
Now, more than half a century later, the characters and plots in "Li Shuangshuang" still fascinate the audience, and the authenticity and grounding are undoubtedly an important reason why this film has become an immortal classic.
Since April 20, sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, the Working Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Organs, the Party History Work Office of the Provincial Party Committee, the Education Work Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Film Bureau, the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, and hosted by the Modern Express+, the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, and supported by the China Film Archive, the "Four Histories" Education Film Class was officially launched throughout the province.
