In 1978, the Beijing Film Studio established a youth film crew. This provides Wang Haowei with a good opportunity to fully show himself.
Wang Haowei was born into a revolutionary family. Her mother is Zhang Ruifang's sister Zhang Nan. In 1962, she graduated from the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy. As a young filmmaker who is "red and dedicated", she has participated in the filming of films such as "Dragon Horse Spirit" and "Haixia". But the real independent filming was in 1978. She was 38 years old.
She saw a script in the literature department of the North Film Studio called "Daddy, Mom and Me", and thought the foundation was good and interesting. However, reprocessing is also required. So Wang Haowei found the author of the script, Lin Li, a worker in the power workshop of the North Film Factory at that time, and the two of them lived together, and revised a total of 6 drafts, and finally had the version we see today - "Look at this family".
As a result, as soon as the film was released in 1979, it was warmly welcomed by everyone. Until now, it has maintained a good score of 8.1 points on Douban.
In 1979, China produced a large number of excellent films, and "Look at This Family" is definitely one of the best.
It not only made Wang Hao famous, but also made several young actors stand out, and even later, they became film superstars, including Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Peisi and others.
The reason why everyone thinks this movie is good, Yaqing thinks there are two main reasons. One is that at that time, we were accustomed to watching a one-on-one-eyed didactic movie, and suddenly a comedy movie full of laughter about interpersonal relationships appeared on the screen, which naturally made us bright and happy.
Another reason is that the actors in the film are really amazing. In particular, Chen Peisi and Liu Xiaoqing's unique performances are like a fresh wind, blowing in the face.
Some people say that "Look at This Family" has changed the fate of at least 3 people, and Yaqing is deeply impressed.
It made Wang Haowei one of the best female directors in the North Film Studio, and also allowed Chen Peisi, who originally ran a dragon set in the Bayi Factory, to enter the eyes of more audiences, and also let Liu Xiaoqing's acting skills get unanimous praise from everyone.
So, now that 42 years have passed, what kind of changes have occurred to the actors who starred in "Look at This Family"? What is their current and current situation? Today, let Yaqing review and revisit it with you through the form of contrasting the past and present.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" >, the film shows us three fresh faces, and then they all become big stars</h1>
Wang Haowei was still a newcomer when directing "Look at this Family", but she was very bold in the choice of actors. At least three fresh faces appeared in the film, surprising us.
The first is Chen Peisi.
At that time, he was only a dragon set actor in Bayi Factory, and because of the relationship between his image, he could only play roles such as Bandit A and Warrior B in some movies. When Wang Haowei selected actors for "Look at This Family", the first person he found was Chen Qiang, who was the head of the actor troupe of the North Film Studio at the time. She wants the old man to play the father Lao Hu in the film. She thought to herself, with the addition of Chen Qiang, then the tone of this movie will be set.
At that time, Wang Hao was worried about finding a player for Jiaqi. As a result, after Chen Qiang read the script, he thought that his second son Chen Peisi was very suitable, so he recommended it to Wang Haowei. It just so happens that Wang Haowei knows Chen Peisi, because she has seen his performance of "Ten Thousand Waters and a Thousand Mountains". Although Chen Peisi runs a dragon set in it, he portrays a bandit soldier beautifully.
Wang Haowei said that Chen Peisi played well, absolutely no problem.
As a result, Chen Peisi really shined in "Look at This Family". He became the main joke presenter in the film, and there were many breakthroughs in performance. Especially in the scene where the bookstore teaches everyone to dance, it simply brings out his acting talent to the fullest. And he cooperated with Chen Qiang, who played the father, to form the first pair of "father and son files" on the Chinese screen.
Also good is Liu Xiaoqing.
Later, some people said that Liu Xiaoqing did not have acting skills, and I would suggest that everyone go to see her performance in "Look at this Family". She only has 28 short shots in the film, but she portrays a girl who is somewhat vain.
It is said that when Wang Haowei saw Liu Xiaoqing in the Beiying Compound, he thought her image was very good, so he asked her if she still had a schedule? Liu Xiaoqing was participating in the shooting of two films at the time, one was "Little Flower" and the other was "Wedding", and if Wang Haowei was added to this one, then she would become the first actress in China to participate in three films at the same time.
This is both an opportunity and a challenge.
But Liu Xiaoqing, a girl in Chongqing, fully shows the strong side of her personality. She immediately agreed to Wang Haowei, but put forward an "additional" condition, that is, not to play the "big front", but to play the supporting role of Zhang Lan.
An actor who is not yet famous, does not play the heroine, but plays a small supporting role. Some people think Liu Xiaoqing is stupid, but Yaqing sees Liu Xiaoqing's extraordinary courage. At that time, she already had the consciousness of not being stereotyped. Although at that time, few people in the national audience knew her.
However, in 1979, Liu Xiaoqing suddenly became popular throughout China.
"Little Flower" makes her sweet image deeply rooted in people's hearts, and "Look at This Family" let everyone see her ability to shape her character. In the third popular film Hundred Flowers Awards, Liu Xiaoqing won the Best Supporting Actress Award with a clear advantage for the role of Zhang Lan. Since then, she has ushered in a year-long highlight moment that belongs to her.
She went from being an unknown little actress to a top female star in the 80s. At that time, her influence was simply unsatisfactory.
Also with "Look at This Family" into everyone's sight, there is Fang Shu.
Fang Shu participated in the filming of the movie "Eternal Life in the Fire" at a very young age, and the little turnip head he played was very cute. She grew up to become a seconded actress at The North Film Studio, and has starred in several films, but none of them had any impact. Until 1979, she got the opportunity to play Xiaohong in "Look at this Family", which made her youthful and beautiful image recognized by everyone, and also made her a rising star in the film industry in the 80s.
In the 1980s, Chen Peisi, Liu Xiaoqing, and Fang Shu all became A-list stars. Because of the success of their performances, they were all given more opportunities to show. Chen Peisi not only presented movies such as "Xizhao Street", "Kyoto Ball Man", "Father and Son" for everyone, but also formed a partnership with Zhu Shimao and became the first generation of comedians of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Today, he has changed even more. The small actor who used to always run the dragon set has now become a leading figure in Chinese comedy. He not only launched good plays such as "Childcare", "Balcony" and "Stage" on the drama stage, but also had a convincing and wonderful performance as a mentor in the "Gold Medal Comedy Class" program launched this year.
Liu Xiaoqing needless to say, she has almost always fought energetically in the front line of acting, even if she is old now and no longer young, she still burns herself like a candle. Over the years, Liu Xiaoqing has also presented us with many excellent works, among which Hu Yuyin in "Furong Town" and Wu Zetian in "Wu Zetian" are still enjoyable.
Now, she is not only still a popular candidate for many film crews, but also a long-term performance on stage. Her spirit of not accepting the old and not accepting defeat is worthy of our admiration.
Among these three people, the one who has changed the most is Fang Shu, right?
After acting in "Look at this Family" that year, she got many roles similar to Xiaohong, such as Wenwen in "Don't Forget Me", Xie Jing in "Red Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple". She very much wanted to make a breakthrough like Liu Xiaoqing, so in 1985, she changed her role to play Chen Bailu in "Sunrise", and because of this role, she ascended to the throne of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award. It's a change in her acting.
And her bigger change came from her life. Neither of her marriages was happy, especially the second, which could be described as bad. This result has led to a beautiful star who was originally like a jade flower, becoming increasingly haggard and aging, which makes people look at it and can't help but shout: Who took away her youth and beauty?
So, in "Look at This Family", in addition to Chen Peisi, Liu Xiaoqing and Fang Shu, what other excellent actors are there?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="60" >, Zhang Jinling, Wang Yonghuan, Chen Yude also brought surprises to everyone</h1>
Zhang Jinling became popular as early as the 70s, and by the 1980s she had become one of the famous "Three Flowers of the Northern Shadow" (the other two being Li Xiuming and Liu Xiaoqing). But she has always acted mainly in the main drama, and has not acted in comedy. Jia Ying in "Look at This Family" just fills this gap.
Zhang Jinling was really a goddess in everyone's heart. Her performance in the film, although it is somewhat decent because of the character setting, it still brings some surprises to everyone. For example, the bridge section that conveys information to lovers through mirrors is very funny.
Speaking of the name Wang Yonghuan, everyone may not be familiar with it, he is the actor of The Old Hu Son-in-Law Yulin in "Look at This Family". Shortly after acting in "Look at This Family", he stepped into the leadership position of the TV production center of the China Welfare Association, and since then he has not starred in many film and television works. But "Look at This Family" still rarely leaves his figure on the screen.
There is also a surprise discovery in "Look at this family", that is, Chen Yude. He played the old sick number in the film.
Everyone is busy with the four modernizations, so he always asks for sick leave.
Chen Yude's image is very recognizable, and his performance is also unique. So although his role is not much, his superb acting skills still leave a deep impression on everyone.
Zhang Jinling also acted in several films in the 1980s, among which the more influential roles were Huang Yinggu in "Huang Yinggu" and the three spicy children in "Xu Mao and His Daughters". Later, she chose to focus on raising her children at home. When the child grew up, she picked up the paintbrush again and transformed into a calligrapher and painter, and is now very famous in the world of painting and calligraphy.
Wang Yonghuan later co-founded an art school with his wife, which was quite popular. So who is his wife? She is cheng xiaohua, a famous voice actress at the translation factory.
Chen Yude made a lot of films at the North Film Studio at that time, and he also wanted to stay in the North Film Studio, but he failed to do so. He died in 1996 at the age of 56.
Also deceased are chen qiang and huang ling, two old artists who played lao Hu and his wife in the film.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="71" > three, unforgettable "couple file"</h1>
For a long time, many fans mistakenly thought that Huang Ling was Chen Qiang's wife and Chen Peisi's mother.
Of course not.
I think the reason why everyone has such a misunderstanding is because Huang Ling always forms a husband and wife file with Chen Qiang in the movie. And the origin of their combination comes from "Look at this family".
In the film, their characters are a loving mother and a strict father. The performances of the two actors complement each other perfectly, and the cooperation is seamless, like a pair of old husbands and wives, so everyone has misunderstood.
The main reason why Chen Qiang and Huang Ling's cooperation can be so tacit is that they have known each other for a long time and know each other very well. And before that, they had already worked together many times.
As early as 1949, the two had been in the same frame in the movie "The White Soldier". Chen Qiang played the injured warrior Yang Mingqing, while Huang Ling played the nurse Tang Weizhen. Later, in 1955, the two entered the Beijing Film Academy together, not only as classmates, but also in many big dramas, and established a deep friendship.
Therefore, their performance in "Look at This Family" will be so lifelike, and it will be so fake and real.
They later starred as husband and wife in movies such as "The Second Son Opens a Shop", "The Silly Hat Manager", and "The Grandfather Opens a Song Hall". In 2002, Huang Ling died at the age of 77. Ten years later, on June 26, 2012, Mr. Chen Qiang passed away at the age of 94. Since then, there has been one less "good partner" in the world.
Dear friends, when it comes to "Look at this Family", we seem to have a lot to say. The old movies of the past do have such charm, which makes people enjoy it and can't stop it. So when it comes to this masterpiece from 42 years ago, what is the first thing that comes to mind? What do you think are the biggest highlights of it?
