White Mu
The name Bai Mu, a famous veteran actor of the Shanghai Film Studio, is still quite memorable and deeply impressed by the middle-aged and elderly audiences and loyal fans and friends who have come all the way from the 1956s to the 1970s and 1980s. He is the chief of staff of the Nationalist Army in "The Southern Expedition and the Northern War", the writer Li Shaobai of "The Informal", the chief surgeon of "Spring in the World", Fan Jikang, the chief of the surgical department in "Spring full of people", the commander of the "Thousand Liju" division of the Nationalist Army in "Against the Wind and a Thousand Miles", the latent agent Chen Futang in "Unforgettable Battle", Du Wenjie, the director of the county health center in "Spring Miao", the old professor of medicine in "The Laughter of Troubled People", the deputy director of Ding Factory in "Star Star", the feudal widow Xia Siye in "Medicine"... These are the characters who bai mu have appeared in the long acting career of more than half a century as "compound licorice films" as self-deprecating and anti-positive, and among the many screen images that have been cast and participated in dozens of movies, the most brilliant and the most able to leave different degrees of imprint on people. On April 26, 2012, Bai Mu died of illness in Shanghai at the age of 92, thus quietly pulling the curtain on his life of indifferent fame and fortune.
Bai Mu and Huang Wansu in the film "Informal People"
Time always slips away silently from everyone's side inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, Bending the index, Bai Mu's hundred years are just like his own low-key life in the world, and it is also unconsciously transferred to the dial of the ring of time. Over the past ten years, among the more than 100 old actors who were alive in the studio and are now the only ones left, Bai Mu is one who has only met once, has not had many contacts, but has a lot of conversations. I remember that in the middle of summer in 2011, after the afternoon lunch break, at the time agreed in advance, I visited the old man's house, and I clearly remember that on the small balcony of his house, half of the cut watermelon was placed, accompanied by a sentence "Ho! Blessed are you, or sandy..." I nibbled on the watermelon flowing with sweet water as he opened the box of words that were reined in and gushed. Therefore, from the contrast and contrast of the already familiar screen image, I began to listen to the old man tell the origin of his life, his crooked acting start, and the wonderful behind-the-scenes stories he randomly selected in the shooting of dozens of movies, although some of them are just "fur" or "drizzle" in the words of the old man, but in this bit of past looking back, it gradually sketches and forms a very extraordinary acting career of a famous old actor. A trajectory that is both interrelated and independently chapter-by-chapter —
"As an old actor in the studio, my name 'Bai Mu' is just a stage name, why did I have such a strange name, it has to start from a very early time-" The old man squinted his eyes when he spoke, and even more exaggeratedly highlighted the most obvious big eye bag under the small eye, it seems to be like the same beginning when many old people tell stories to children: "That was a long time ago, my original name was Le Zhongyuan, my original name was Ningbo, Zhejiang, and the tycoon Shaw, There are also Many celebrities such as Wang Danfeng of our factory are fellow countrymen. I was born on June 19, 1920, in Tianjin, and grew up with my family in Changchun, northeast China. I have been an apprentice in a tailor shop since I was 13 years old, and I have come into contact with some people in the society, so that I will naturally precipitate the foundation of some various roles for my future acting. Later, I was recruited to the post office to work as a handyman, and after work, I was pulled by my co-workers to participate in amateur performances, running away without a single line, which was fun. When I was just 17 years old, I worked with a middle school teacher who usually came and went a lot, and the two of us wrote a small drama called "The Night of the Cave Flower Candle" according to hearsay stories. At that time, the drama style was very popular, so we handed the script to the amateur drama club of the post office to perform, and I also volunteered to play a gatekeeper veteran in the play, and the performance effect was really good. Somehow, no one in our family has ever done this line of acting for generations, but there is a 'crooked grass' like me in the old cemetery. Since then, I have not only become obsessed with acting, but also out of control. Not long after this play was performed, the 'Qiqi Lugou Bridge Incident' broke out, and China began to fight against Japan in an all-round way, and in the midst of the unrestful war, in order to live and for the sake of acting for my own preferences, I never left the line of 'drama' again. ”
In 1941, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the most severe and difficult years, on December 8 of that year, the Pacific War broke out, and the current political situation and war situation became increasingly severe, and Bai Mu was unwilling to obey and become a slave in "Manchukuo", so he left Changchun and came all the way to Beijing. With the various troupes that joined the troupe, they first came to the "China TravelIng Theater Troupe" led by Tang Huaiqiu and participated in the performance of the drama "Green Window Red Tears", which was performed for two years. In 1943, it was transferred to the "Hard Work Troupe" led by Huang Zuolin, and successively performed dozens of dramas such as "Liang Shangjunzi", "Chaotou Feng", "Double Happiness Linmen", "Yuan Shikai", "Fangcao Tianya", "Thunderstorm" and so on, and had received guidance and help from famous directors Huang Zuolin, Shi Hui and actor Tang Ruoqing. It was not until the final victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression on May 15, 1945, that Bai Mu landed on the small stage to the big screen in 1947, transformed into a full-time film actor, and then participated in the filming of several films such as "Wind and Moon Feud", "Descendants of Wandai" and "Treasure Book of Wind and Currents".
After the liberation of Shanghai on May 28, 1949, Bai Mu entered the Shanghai Film Studio and the Shanghai United Film Studio as an actor in early 1950, and in 1954, the state-run film studio, which was merged and reorganized, continued to shoot until he served as the deputy head of the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe. Since the first feature film "Farmhouse" started shooting in the Film Studio, it has successively participated in "Cuigang Red Flag", "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Two Patrol Soldiers", "Informal People", "Spring Full of People", "Against the Wind", "Spring Miao", "Unforgettable Battle", "Distressed Laughter", "Medicine" and other films that have had different degrees of influence in the folk, and in his later years he was also borrowed to Xiaoxiang Film Studio in Hunan and starred in a "Star Star". In addition, he has also filmed TV series "Huadu Dream", "Marriage Adventure", "War to Seize Children", and also directed TV series such as "Peanut Dog". In a long acting career, Bai Mu has played various types of roles on both sides in dozens of film and television dramas. Most of these different characters with different personalities are villains or often comedic transformations. It is also through the careful shaping of these so-called "intermediate characters" that Bai Mu has shaped all kinds of characters with deep excavation and dedication to flesh and blood, vivid and vivid, and ready to come out, and finally became one of the most adept at playing negative roles and comedy characters in the Chinese film industry. As early as 1957, he won the gold medal of the 1949-1955 Excellent Film Creation Individual Award of the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China, and in 1993, he won the Special Honor Award of the "Golden Phoenix Award" of the Fourth China Film Performing Arts Society.
The performance of Bai Mu and others in the film "Informal People"
The topic rewinds back to the origin of Bai Mu's stage name, and it is really interesting to listen to the old man talk about it in a cheerful way.
"In 1941, I was working as a theater clerk in the 'China Travel Service' troupe, plumbing. One day, Tang Huaiqiu, the head of the regiment, knew that I had acted, so he asked me to save the scene and play a tea room, two lines, and a dozen words. I happily appeared on the stage, triumphantly feeling that I could figure out my head. Who knew that I had just been on the stage, and at a glance I saw that it was Tang Huaiqiu's daughter Tang Ruoqing who was acting in front of the audience on the stage, she was a great star at that time, a well-known and popular star, and later starred in the more famous movie "The Secret History of the Qing Palace" in Hong Kong, and the Empress Dowager Cixi she played was really aggressive. I usually didn't dare to look at her squarely, but when I saw her on stage, I was flustered, and I didn't know what was tripped under my feet, and I fell to the ground. According to the lines and requirements in the play, after I rushed to the stage, I should have shouted "Miss Chen" in the play, but at the moment of falling, I shouted "Miss Tang", and suddenly the audience laughed, but also received unexpected comedic effects. After this scene was over, Tang Ruoqing gave me a stinky scolding after he left the scene, which scared me into a cold sweat, thinking that I would never have the opportunity to say goodbye to acting again. Who knew that the next day, Tang Ruoqing's temper was like a storm, coming and going quickly, and she did not think that she would secretly plead with her father, say a lot of good things about me, and let me try acting again. As a result, I had another chance, acting really justified, it was such a rare attempt, I officially practiced, not only did I do the business of full-time actors, but also worked for life, never changed my career. Tang Ruoqing was naturally full of joy, and she said to me with a smile: Since you have officially put up your job bowl of acting, you should have a good and memorable stage name. According to the awkward appearance of me on the stage the first day, she painstakingly gave me such a stage name, called 'Bai Mu', which means that I am still a white Ding, just like wood, but I hope that I can gradually open up, of course, I can mix up the best of personal dog-like. Tang Ruoqing also said: When you have almost accumulated acting, it is very good for you to visit a famous master and adjust it well, which will be very beneficial to your future ability to stabilize this bowl of 'drama rice'. In 1943, I entered the Hardwork Theater Troupe in Shanghai, and was personally guided by Mr. Huang Zuolin and Mr. Shi Hua, and starred in dozens of plays. In the Hard work troupe, I can accurately describe it as 'benefiting a lot'. In fact, it is very tiring to engage in art, and during the period when I spent in the Hard Work Troupe, Mr. Huang Zuolin always told us that there must be a spirit of hard work to engage in art, otherwise it would be impossible to make a real work of art, so our troupe was directly named 'Hard Work'. I admire Shi Hua's performance the most, I embarked on the road of acting, neither from the class, nor did I become famous and became a family, and the dramas that participated in the performance, one move and one style, were directly affected by Shi Hua. Unfortunately, before the liberation of Shanghai, Tang Ruoqing went to Hong Kong, but he was old and weak, the people were old and yellow, and they developed a bad habit of smoking for many years, and the result was very bad. Although Shi Hui joined the upper shadow, his life was not good, his full talent could not be displayed, he was put on the 'rightist' hat in the political movement of the founding of the country long ago, his temper was straight, he could withstand such a cruel criticism, he jumped Wu Songkou and committed suicide, which is something that many people know. ”
The general familiarity of the audience with Bai Mu is still derived from the fact that he has created many vivid artistic images on the screen of new China after the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially the negative characters have a strong artistic appeal, which is impressive and unforgettable. From 1950 to 2009, the films he participated in can be roughly divided into five categories: one is the poor peasants, rich peasants and bad elements who starred in rural movies such as "Farm Stay", "A Storm", "Who is the Murderer", "Huaishang People's Home", "Minjiang Orange Red", "Spring Is Coming"; second, landlords, doctors, factory directors and professors who starred in the themes of workers, peasants and soldiers such as "Cuigang Red Flag", "Spring Full of People", "Sea Red Flag", "Number of Merry Characters in this Dynasty" and other themes; third, "Informal People" and "Stars and Stars" The writers and factory directors who appear in comedies such as "Distressed Laughter", "Our Little Flower Cat", "Medicine", "Zhang Family Young Grandmother", "Fox Mystery Case", "Emergency Landing" and other life films are positive characters; fifth, they play different types of villain roles in films with themes such as "Southern Expedition to the North", "Against the Wind", "Unforgettable Battle", "Motherland, Mother", "Spring Miao" and other films. Of course, this type of character is the most well-known and enjoyable.
Bai Mu played the chief of staff of the Nationalist Army in the film "Southern Expedition and Northern War"
Speaking of the film "Southern Expedition to the North" film shot by Shanghai Film Studio in 1952, it is the first large-scale military combat feature film filmed for the first time since the founding of New China, this film is based on the Battle of Menglianggu in Shandong Province of the Liberation War, the magnificent war scenes and the image of the commanders and fighters of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China, which has left a strong and colorful important mark in the history of New China's films, and for many years, it has been widely praised as the first of the "Old Three Wars" (that is, "Southern Expedition to the North War", "Mine Warfare" and "Tunnel Warfare") and is well-known. Looking at the strong lineup of "Southern Expedition and Northern War", not to mention the senior talents of the screenwriter and director, the actors Feng Zhe, Chen Ge, Xiang Kun, Zhang Ruifang, Liu Peiran, Bai Mu, Yang Hua, Mu Hong and other people who played the kuomintang and the communist side in the film alone are staggering. Mention the movie "It's not that we're incompetent, it's that the communists are too cunning!" Together with "For the sake of the party-state, pull the brothers!" Those famous lines are almost unknown to everyone and everyone, and the line of the previous sentence is from the mouth of the chief of staff of the national army played by Bai Mu. This classic line, which became the symbol of the loser's self-consolation and self-deprecation, together with the chief of staff of the National Army that he portrayed into three points, has become a joke on the lips of loyal fans for decades. Nowadays, the main creators who participated in the shooting of this classic old film have passed away because of their age and various reasons, but Gu Wenhou, one of the photographers, is still alive at the advanced age of a centenarian, and he was responsible for shooting the opposite side of the Kuomintang army with the director Tang Xiaodan, who was responsible for shooting the opposite side, that is, the photography of the Kuomintang army, for the role of the chief of staff of the nationalist army played by Bai Mu, it is naturally the most direct contact, because of the long age, although the old man can not remember more cooperation anecdotes, but mentioned Bai Mu, The old man can still vaguely say and praise how well his line skills are, almost all the scenes are "once over" and other sporadic phrases. It can be seen that after a long period of stage practice, Bai Mu is more comfortable in dealing with character shaping, especially in line performance, which has the deep popularity of his famous line.
Among the 18 tribute films selected by the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China in 1959 from the four major film studios of Shangying, Beiying, Changying and Bayichang, the color feature film "Spring in the Human World" shot by Shangying Studio is based on the true story of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital (formerly "Guangci Hospital") trying to rescue steelmaking worker Qiu Caikang, this mainstream film depicting and reflecting contemporary realistic themes, starring the famous film star Bai Yang, the story will rescue and heal Qiu Caikang's "Ruijin Hospital" (formerly "Guangci Hospital"), Changed to the artistic creation and deliberately fictional "Tung Wah Hospital", and Bai Mu starred in the film as the chief surgeon Fan Jikang. The author brought the topic to this point, and the old man obviously seemed to have touched a nerve in his mouth, and began to talk about it like a river of words——
Bai Mu and Bai Yang in the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China tribute film "Spring in the World"
"Commemorating the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is really a big event in the country, all fronts in the country have presented gifts, our 3 factories are naturally no exception, the leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government pay special attention to the theme of submitting gift films, and the touching deeds of Ruijin Hospital to treat steelmaking worker Qiu Caikang have had a strong response in the society after being reported by the media." The Shanghai Film Bureau decided to adapt this outstanding deed into a color feature film by Tianma Factory. Before this, this theme has been rehearsed into a drama and put on the stage, I heard that the relevant science and education documentaries have also been prepared, and the comic strips painted by the famous painter Hua Sanchuan are very influential. Ying Yunwei, the director of our Tianma Factory, entrusted the important task of writing the script of the feature film to the famous playwright Ke Ling, as well as the famous director sang arc of our film factory. Kolding's works were very influential in society as early as the Republic of China period, and his film "Nightclub", based on Gorky's famous play "At the Bottom", was very popular. He was a playwright with great creative experience, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, films based on his film scripts "For Peace" and "The City That Never Sleeps" were also widely acclaimed. We all know that the same story, the same kind of theme, the shooting method of the feature film is completely different from the form of the documentary, you know that the feature film should have a wealth of content to support, but also have a complex and changeable storyline and details to unfold, a wave of twists and turns, high, low and high, so not only to have the main characters and storyline, but also to have fierce contradictions and conflicts, but we want to focus on the performance of Qiu Caikang as the prototype of Ding Dagang after serious burns, has been a coma for a while, Lying awake in a hospital bed for a while, unable to speak or move, if it were filmed in this way, it would be impossible to continue, because unlike other films, it is enough to narrate and explain it from beginning to end in the style of news reports and documentaries. In this way, the first problem faced adds a lot of difficulty to the design of the plot. I joined the group earlier, and after building the group in a short period of time, we began to make intense preparations, and later I followed the hospital to the essential experience of life. At this time, the script is still very immature and is in the initial stage of creation. Kolding really worked tirelessly, he went deep into the hospital and the steel factory many times to conduct real interviews, and I sometimes followed him directly into contact with many people and things, some of which had nothing to do with this, but in Kolding's eyes, he regarded it as useful and valuable information. In this way, after writing and revising over and over again, Ke Ling and Sang Arc and Xie Junfeng, who cooperated together, through a large amount of information collected after going deep into life, the thinking of several people gradually became clear, and they concentrated the main conflict points in the play on both sides of the hospital party secretary Fang Qun and the surgical director Fan Jikang, one representing the party's leadership, and the other being a change in conservative thinking. ”
Mr. Bai Mu lao started the beginning of the behind-the-scenes story of this "Spring Full of People", and I also learned the following sequel to the filming progress from other sources. As early as the 1930s and 1940s, Sang Arc, a director who entered the film industry and was good at directing life literary and artistic films, especially cherished and attached importance to the overall operation of this tribute film, and he regarded the shooting of this praise feature film as a new exploration that broke through the past. When he learned that the film crew of the science and education documentary had taken the lead in filming in Ruijin Hospital, he rushed to the hospital again, cooperated with director Du Shenghua, and actively participated in assisting in the filming of this documentary, providing many useful details for the documentary through the rich information that had been mastered, naturally supplementing and deepening the "gold content" of the entire film. This enthusiastic move by director Sang Arc made the documentary completed smoothly and with high quality on schedule. As the main role of "Spring Full of People", Bai Mu, second only to the heroine Bai Yang in the film, can be said to be in a prominent position in the male protagonist. His role is an ever-changing "middle man" with a lot of performance layering. Although the script was finalized and the director's creation also had a clearer idea, however, the director of The Mulberry Arc did not rush to start shooting, as the number one tribute film, the time is tight and the task is heavy, the responsibility is greater than the sky, the Mulberry Arc is unusual at this time, but it also allows the film crew to go down to experience life step by step, especially all the actors who are determined to participate in this play. As a result, the actors assigned to their respective roles in the hospital as a top priority quickly went deep into several different hospitals, and other actors rushed to steelmaking workshops, radio stations and bus companies according to their roles to familiarize themselves with the lives of different professions, limit time to find the specific feelings of the people in the play, and then turn in the notes of the experience of shaping the character analysis, no matter how big or small the role. Bai Mu and Zhu Sha are both actors of Tianma Factory, one plays the director of surgery Fan Jikang, the other plays the head nurse Yin Dexuan, they came to Ruijin Hospital together, wearing white clothes and white hats all day, following the doctors and nurses in the ward and operating room, learning every move in their professional work. Speaking of this, Bai Mu said with a smile: "It is a natural thing for an actor to experience life, and what you play at least must be like, which is also the basic skill that you must have as an actor." My role in the play is very heavy, so when observing and experiencing, I pay special attention to it and dare not be sloppy. But the hospitalized patients do not know that the two of us are actors who come to experience life, because they are not fans, they do not know us, so they often make jokes, treat us as real doctors and real nurses, like care and the like is easy to do, sometimes involving professional treatment in person consultation, often will make us both very embarrassed, even very embarrassed. The nurse's step-by-step work, after a few days of life, Jusha can quickly grasp, to cope with the patient's request, it seems not a problem, but as the attending physician of surgery, it is really too difficult for me. You think about how difficult it is to specialize in surgery, and then interlaced like a mountain, a short period of observation, how can I grasp it so quickly, just on the medical terminology is very awkward to learn, let alone a deeper professional about surgical treatment and the like. Once, when I was alone in the ward, I was really put through a special test. A patient pestered me, asking this and that questioning non-stop. Since it has reached such a point, I am really inconvenient to tell the patient the truth, saying that I am an actor to experience life, but I can't really perform the duties of a doctor, so I have to ask the patient what the requirements are, comfort the patient not to worry, with a sincere attitude, say some vague words, as far as possible to learn the professional terms, the current learning is interspersed in the speech and behavior, and then quickly leave the ward, go to the real doctor in time to explain the original situation, report the situation. In order not to reveal the true identity of my fake doctor, I often sang 'double reed' with the real doctor, and then naturally followed the real doctor and appeared in front of the patient again, so that there was no flaw. Until the time of his discharge and farewell, this patient still called me 'Doctor White' and 'Doctor White', which made me laugh and laugh. ”
Bai Mu is with the director Sang Arc, the main creator of the film "Spring Full of People", one of the screenwriters, Ke Ling, and the lead actor Bai Yang
Bai Mu played the commander of the Kuomintang "Thousand Mile Foal" in the film "Thousand Miles Against the Wind"
In 1963, Bai Mu was loaned to the Pearl River Film Studio in Guangzhou to participate in the filming of the film "A Thousand Miles Against the Wind", which was also a battle-themed feature film directed by his long-time friend Fang Lan after he was transferred from Shangying to Zhuying. The two had cooperated in films such as "Who is the Murderer," "Orange Red of the Minjiang River," and "Two Patrolmen, and this time Bai Mu participated in the filming of "A Thousand Miles Against the Wind," which reflects the early stage of the Liberation War, with the Liaoshen Campaign as the background, depicting that a platoon of the Ninth Company of a certain unit of the Northeast People's Liberation Army received an order from their superiors to escort a group of senior Kuomintang prisoners of war to the Fengcheng Military Region in the rear within three days, and a thrilling battle story was launched around the escort route. Fang Luo chose Bai Mu to play the role of the division commander known as the "Thousand Mile Colt", believing that he was very suitable for this role, which can be said to be a continuation of the chief of staff of the national army in the "Southern Expedition and Northern War". Although this film is a combat film, this novel angle of choosing to escort prisoners of war along the way is very new, which not only portrays the heroic image of the witty and brave commanders and fighters of our army, but also objectively depicts the empty inner world of the prisoners of war of the nationalist army and shows the arrogance of self-sufficiency, and this arrogance of not being willing to lose and dying is precisely through the tit-for-tat struggle between the enemy and us in a special environment, reproducing the distinct human confrontation between the hostile forces on both sides. The division commander played by Bai Mu is cold and plain in appearance and scheming in his heart, which is based on the principle of historical realism and objectively shapes the ways and methods of negative characters such as high-level figures of the National Army, which is a very beneficial artistic exploration. However, the unfortunate fate that the film subsequently faced in the "Cultural Revolution" movement is lamentable, and Bai Mu, as an inescapable member of it, is naturally also doomed and bears the brunt of it.
Bai Mu and Feng Xiao in the film "Two Patrol soldiers"
In the pleasant and warm conversation, Mr. Bai Mu seemed to have forgotten his age, and despite the several reminders of his wife on the side, he pulled up all kinds of old things in the past, and always had an uncontrollable meaning of "not surprising words and vows". It is precisely because of Bai Mu's frank personality and good mentality of not caring, coupled with the fact that he was also an "old naughty boy" who loved to joke, even in the special years of the "Cultural Revolution", he was not alarmed, did not sit in confusion, and even at the critical moment, there was also a great "righteous speech" for his friends to "insert a knife in two ribs", which was really a rare and valuable at the juncture when everyone was in danger and self-protection at that time. The author went to Huadong Hospital to visit teacher Huang Zongying, who has been recuperating, and once in a visit, she told the author such a story related to Bai Mu -
At the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution", Bai Mu and Zhao Dan were locked up in a cowshed, and Zhao Dan, because of his fame and fame, belonged to the most serious historical problem among the "black lines of literature and art in the 1930s", and Bai Mu followed the "black minions". Because of his bold nature, Zhao Dan did not pay much attention to the occasion when he usually spoke, nor did he pay attention to proportions, and he said some things that should not be said at will without any cover; these seemingly inappropriate "black words" were heard by the ruling faction and the rebel faction, and after they were heard by the ruling faction and the rebel faction, they deliberately enlarged it indefinitely, organized the "gangsters" who were re-educated through labor to focus on the struggle at the meeting, and also let them enthusiastically expose Zhao Dan and list all kinds of crimes of the "Chaos Demon King." As a "difficult friend" of the same guan room, Bai Mu stood aside, and when he saw Zhao Dan on the stage, he felt funny and uncomfortable when he saw Zhao Dan on the stage who was forced to think helplessly and could not get rid of it, and wanted to admit it but did not dare to admit it. He paused, then boldly raised his hand and shouted at the rebels, "You may be mistaken, I said this!" In fact, it was just some unimportant gossip, and Zhao Dan who was present was not only dumbfounded, but also the rebels who should have gained unexpected gains from it were also stunned, and did not expect that at this time, "killing a Cheng bite gold halfway" at this time, since the "culprit" did not confess himself, it was meaningless to continue the criticism of the fight, so he had to unload the troops like a donkey down the slope, so Zhao Dan was also saved. Through this incident, there was really a sense of "suffering to see the truth", and Zhao Dan, who usually did not have much contact with Bai Mu, held Bai Mu's hand with tears in his eyes, and could not speak for a long time. From then on, Zhao Dan and Bai Mu, the two "difficult brothers and difficult brothers", swore to share hardships and hardships, and to be rich and noble in the same day. Zhao Dan, who was in danger, said that Bai Mu was a very good person, from imprisoning the "cowshed" to being beaten into a black prison, to nine deaths, reborn after the disaster, Zhao Dan was still grateful to Bai Mu until the last breath of his life was still dying. In this regard, Huang Zongying, like everyone else, couldn't help but ask Bai Mu why he did this? Because of such a thing, the others were too late to hide at that time, but Bai Mu replied in a flat tone: "What I said is very different from what he said!" He is a 'felon' and I am a 'misdemeanor'. The answer is so simple, which also shows the spirit of Bai Mu's frankness and courage. For a while, Bai Mu, together with Wang Danfeng, Huang Zongying, and Zhu Sha, was locked up in a cowshed and ordered to paste paper boxes for the street processing factory, and Zhao Dan had been imprisoned, and his life and death were unknown. Huang Zongying still clearly remembers that bai mu whispered to Huang Zongying while working: "Zongying, you are the most talented among us, you can act and write, it is still quite smooth in business, and when you encounter anything in the future, you will think about the worst place and work hard for good things, so that you have hope, you have hope to live, and then you still have 3 children, think and do it in this way, no matter what big things you encounter, you will be able to survive." Huang Zongying sighed heartily: "At that time, Adam was missing, life and death did not know, my mood was terrible, listless all day, trance can not lift the spirit, for a period of time, ideological baggage, mental pressure is particularly large." Bai Mu was comforting me and encouraging me, afraid that I would not be able to think about it for a while when I encountered difficulties. I can't imagine that this 'Bai Mu philosophy' really has a great impact on the second half of my life, more than ten years of painful and difficult days, I have survived so hard, relying on Bai Mu's words. ”
Bai Mu was optimistic by nature, giggling, pretending to be stupid, the rebels had no way to take him, and after working in the Fengxian Farm on the outskirts of Shanghai for a few years, because of the change in the political situation, from 1973 onwards, the production of feature films that had been interrupted for many years was resumed, and Bai Mu was "liberated" as a "class dissident who did not have too many historical problems", and let him participate in the shooting of 3 films in a row. Therefore, the vast number of audiences who are "emotionally hungry" can get this opportunity to see the long-lost Bai Mu playing the hidden agent Chen Futang in "Unforgettable Battle" from the screen, "The Motherland! Bai Bing, a Kuomintang special professional played in "Mother", and Du Wenjie, the director of the county health center, played in "Spring Miao", are 3 influential negative roles.
Bai Mu participated in the film "Zhang Family Young Grandmother"
After the end of the "Cultural Revolution" movement, Zhang Ruifang served as the head of the Troupe of Shangying Actors and Actresses, and bai Mu, an "old and good man", was elected by the masses as the deputy head of the troupe, cooperating with the regimental leader to grasp the work of the main business. After ten years of catastrophe and turmoil, the literary and artistic circles were deserted and in ruins, and they discussed that they should make up their minds to train a group of young actors to take over, so they personally went down to factories, farms and schools to pick up the "good seedlings" that they considered, and then, these promising newcomers were gathered in the business training classes run by the actor troupe, organized the young trainees to start by learning sketches, and then gradually took on the performance of one-act plays and large-scale dramas, and then let them participate in the recorded TV series. Carry out the gradual and in-depth performance practice, so that you can adapt to the film shooting as soon as possible in the future, and make sufficient and solid preparations. To this end, Bai Mu took the lead, through the main grasp of the four-episode TV series "Under the Eaves of Shanghai" adapted and recorded based on Xia Yan's famous drama, according to the needs of various characters set up in the play, gathered actors of different ages of old, middle and young to join the battle, and through the practical routine of "old with young, young with old, old and young", push young actors to the front line of performance business as soon as possible. From here, it can be clearly seen that Bai Mu's care for young people is very sincere, profoundly interpreting the true meaning of "falling red is not a heartless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers". Many of his peers remember him saying more than once: "Young people are the future and hope." This sentence is not new, but as the actual person in charge of a professional group, it is very rare to be able to understand this sentence and actually implement it, which is very rare and respectable. At the time of the revival of literature and art in the spring of the new era, some young actors are afraid of not having a drama and delaying their youth in vain because of their own external restrictions. After Bai Mu learned and perceived the situation, he took the initiative to find them to talk to them, and after a sincere conversation that was deep and simple, especially he said to them in a serious tone: "As a film actor, first of all, I have a solid foundation in my acting skills, opportunities are often full of opportunities, you have to grasp it, but it must be looking for those who are ready." A heartfelt voice made the young actor who was originally discouraged gradually understand the truth, and Mao Sai suddenly opened up and suddenly opened up. Under the kind care of many old predecessors of the actor troupe, many young actors have successively grown into the new backbone and main force of the film studio through their own unremitting efforts and multi-faceted and multi-level practice, and some have combined their own advantages to upgrade from actors to higher fields of production, assistant directors, and even director positions.

For a while, Bai Mu was still very popular on the screen, participated in the shooting of more than ten films in a row, and was also borrowed to the Xiaoxiang Film Studio in Hunan, and in his later years, he had the honor of starring in a light comedy style "Star Star", which was really rare. The main story of this movie is that Ding, the deputy director of the Qunxing Leather Shoe Factory, pulled his son Ding Kai to go on a blind date with the salesman Tian Cui. Both of them are interested in the shoes worn by the other, Ding Kai thinks that Tian Cui's shoes are very good-looking, but Tian Cui thinks that Ding Kai's shoes are really dirty. Ding Kai did social research, happened to meet Tian Cui's colleague Sha Li, and everyone put forward opinions to his father Lao Ding and asked him to launch new products. Lao Ding blindly believed that the production in the factory had always been a famous brand, and refused to listen to opinions. Ding Kai's sister Xiaofen falls in love with the shoe repairman Erbao and asks Erbao to "steal" the art from Lao Ding. Tian Cui, who only cares about leisure, falls in love with Ding Kai, but Ding Kai writes a love letter to ShaLi, but he mistakenly wants to date Tian Cui. After some tossing, Lao Ding also put on the new "Samsung brand" leather shoes supported by young people, learned about the love and career of his children, and smiled happily at the sweet taste of life. The details are the jokes made by the shoe factory because of the poor quality, and also borrow from the Hungarian comedy "Revenge of the Waste". Bai Mu starred as the deputy director of the leather shoe factory, through a series of comedic things experienced, and finally paid close attention to the quality of production, making the product popular after being put on the market again. The relevant advertising company is optimistic about this business opportunity, and repeatedly invited him to shoot leather shoe advertisements, the remuneration is much more generous than the remuneration for making a movie, and the advertising plot is also very simple, that is, according to the title of the movie "Star Star", that is, the harmonic sound of the "Samsung" leather shoe brand, even said three "lines of action" on "OK", but Bai Mu thought about it carefully, but finally gave a gentle tone to refuse.

During Bai Mu's tenure as the leader of the actors troupe, the troupe's peers respected and loved this well-known "old good man", but Bai Mu, who has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, gave himself a brief summary of saying "belonging to licorice". The old man smiled with a smile on his face, and with a typical feature outlined like an extremely rich comic, he said to the author happily: "The function of licorice is to suppress cough, although the treatment of symptoms is not curative, but once it is eaten, if it is a compound, it will work." My whole life acting is like this, bringing you impressions, bringing laughter, although often can't remember completely, but after all, a mixed face, some roles if you can bring people something useful, I will be satisfied! "Oh! It turns out that the old man's self-deprecating "licorice" plus "compound" is so effective, then I can directly and happily respond to whether it is the positive angle or the villain he starred in, through vivid and vivid and three-dimensional character shaping, not only in different degrees to give people a fresh memory, but also will definitely bring you different realizations in life. In addition, the old man believes that carefree can be healthy and long-lived, and the pursuit of fame and profit will be troublesome, directly damaging health, which is a health care method outside the white Mu screen, he laughed and called it a typical and durable "philosophy of life". It can be seen that the old man is very open-minded about life and death, and he once made a poem with humor and humor: "A pile of meat in the next life, a pile of ash after going, the world on earth is narrow, and the sea is wide and gray." "Laughing and scolding, interjecting, all in it.
From a two-hour interview to double the time, the excess content is really unexpectedly earned, and it can be said that it is a harvest.

Bai Mu Lao, through his own example, set up the most real bright and upright portrayal of the model of "virtue and art".
