【A Thousand Old Filmmakers (466)——Chen Keran】
Before reading the main text, please recall two movie songs that touched a generation 60 years ago and are still widely sung today: "Let's swing the oars, and the boat pushes away the waves." The sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls. The boat floated gently in the water, and a cool wind blew in front of it..." "Are you ready?" Always ready, we are all Communist Children's League, and the future masters must be us. Tick tock..."
Are you familiar with these two songs? Even at this moment, the picture of children swinging boats on the lake and rushing forward has also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The first song is the theme song of the movie "Flowers of the Motherland" released in 1955, "Let's Swing the Oars", which is the first school children's feature film in New China filmed by Changchun Film Studio.
The second song is the theme song of the movie "Red Child" released in 1958, "The Song of the Communist Children's Group". The oath of the Young Pioneers of China "Is ready to fight for the cause of communism!" Always ready! "It comes from this song.
As the most famous child star in the years after the founding of New China, Chen Keran, the protagonist of this article and a famous actor from Changchun Film Studio, has participated in these two films that are still freshly remembered until now.
August 19th is the 13th anniversary of the death of the famous actor Chen Keran, here, Entertainment Tv pays tribute to Chen Keran artist!
Chen Keran, born in 1941 in Harbin, Heilongjiang, in 1953, he was admitted to the Northeast People's Art Theater Repertory Theater, became a small actor, soon after entering the troupe, he began to "electrocute", successively played Liu Xiaotian in the movie "Flowers of the Motherland", played a tall classmate in "Luo Xiaolin's Determination", and began to become a child star of that era.
Chen Keran's real fame was the starring role in the children's film "Red Child" filmed by Changchun Film Studio, directed by Suri, and starring Chen Keran, Ning He, Wang Heyong and so on.
In 1957, Suri, a long-distance film director who had directed the children's films "Flowers of the Motherland" and "Brother and Sister", approached the famous playwright Qiao Yu and asked him to write a script reflecting the story of the red devils in the war years. Qiao Yu readily agreed and quickly wrote the script of "Red Child".
After reading the script, director Suri was very satisfied. At the stage of casting actors, after selection, small actors from various schools have reported to the crew one after another, but the male number one and the little protagonist Su Bao have not yet been selected. Just when Suri was at a loss, he suddenly remembered Chen Keran, a young actor in "Flowers of the Motherland", which he had directed as an assistant director.
The kid was smart, lively, and cute, so why not let him try it? In this way, director Suri specifically found Chen Keran and saw that although he had grown up a lot, he still had a youthful aura and heroism. At that time, Su Dao did not explain why he saw him, and did not tell him the reason until two months later when he decided to play Su Bao.
After the release of "Red Child", it caused a huge response. Chen Keran interpreted Su Bao's stubbornness, bravery and cleverness very well and conveyed the spirit, and after this piece, he also became a popular child star.
After successfully starring in "Red Child", Chen Keran was transferred to the long film. After that, he starred in film masterpieces such as "Ancient Temple Bells", "Man in the Painting", "QiangDi Song" and so on. In "Ancient Temple Bells", the little monk he played did not collude with the enemy elements, had a sense of justice, and left a deep impression on the audience.
Influenced by that era, Chen Keran did not participate in many works. In 1977, he changed to producer and scene reporter, and in 1983 he was transferred to the director's office as an assistant director. As an assistant director, he has participated in more than a dozen films, such as "Ward Sixteen", "China's "Little Emperor"" and "The Girl from Huangshan".
Chen Keran's wife, Liu Li, is not a film performer.
At 15:58 on August 19, 2008, Chen Keran, a famous actor of Changying, died of asthma in Changchun at the age of 67. In fact, he has been suffering from asthma for more than 20 years, his health has not been very good after retirement, and in the last few years, he did not even dare to come out of the door...
