An anecdote from the film industry. A self-proclaimed famous actor is keen to show off how many films he has participated in, and finally one day the old artist Yu Yang asked, which one of your masterpieces is it? The other party suddenly choked.
The roles played are not commendable, whether they have left an indelible impression on the audience, some people have run a dragon set for a lifetime, because those few minutes of footage have left an unforgettable mark on the audience, we call them gold medal green leaves. There are many such actors in China, and Lao Geng does not dare to enumerate them one by one, and it is easy to offend fans where there is negligence. Just to say two, in the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", the fat puppet army and the thin and tall pole puppet army chasing Gazi, one is the old artist Feng Shun, and the other is the old artist Chen Zhijian. The characters of the two are so humble that they have no names in the film, and the audience calls them fat and pseudo-military thin and tall poles, and after decades, the scene where they chased Gazi can be forgotten by anyone who has seen "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
The old actor's works introduced today are not much, even 15 dragon sets, but he has created three classic images on the screen. The fake captain of the martial arts in "Tunnel Warfare", the fake prisoner in "Hero Tiger Guts", and the captain of the Korean transport company in "Surprise Attack". If it weren't for the fact that all three of them are anti-angles, I would have liked to use the word glorious to describe them.
He is Xie Wanhe. A native of Baoding, Hebei Province, he was born in 1928. In 1949, he joined the Cultural and Industrial Corps of the Nineteenth Liberation Corps. In 1956, he was transferred to the Bayi Film Studio as an actor. Xie Wanhe is a drama actor, before the founding of New China, he played roles in some progressive dramas such as "Thunderstorm" and "Chincha Minister", and has accumulated experience in drama for many years, Xie Wanhe has a lot of experience in handling lines.
"Hero Tiger Guts" is the first film outside of Xie Wan and Long Tao, which is a role with only one scene, Xie Wanhe plays vivid and interesting, from the "instructor instructor" who pretended to meet the deceased at the beginning to the later steel tough guy of the People's Liberation Army, Xie Wanhe handled it with a "lame" taste, this crappy is not Xie Wanhe's acting skills are lame, but he wants to create a fake PLA with lame acting skills. Sound awkward? An actor with superb acting skills to play a layman with very rough acting skills also has to make people look and laugh, and the audience who has watched "Hero Tiger Guts" may not know who Xie Wanhe is, but must remember this fake prisoner.
Xie Wanhe is good at acting in this kind of play-within-a-play, he can play the embarrassment of the characters in the play, and he can make people smell the embarrassment of the characters in the play across the screen.
Xie Wanhe's performance in "Raid" is also like this. The captain of the South Korean Transport Company is the second classic role created by Xie Wanhe, a few lines and facial expressions, playing a small officer full of doubts but does not know where the mistake is vivid, especially those few pretended calm whistles, the audience seems to be able to hear the puppet lieutenant beating drums in his heart: Have I seen you? How come I don't remember? But you're so sure, am I misremembering? Old Geng said not to exaggerate it, facial micro-expressions can reflect so many subtext, you change an actor to try, there are several people can act so richly.
In order to find out the cadres of the Eighth Route Army among the masses, Wang Zhu and Wang Kamzhi sang a "double reed", which is also a "play within a play".
What made Xie Wanhe completely on fire was the fake martial arts captain in "Tunnel Warfare".
Xie Wanhe, the fake martial arts captain Sun Jincai, is very distinctive, with a changeable temperament, ups and downs, a strong sense of comedy, and a very characteristic appearance, squinting eyes, sinister treacherous laughter and self-righteous pride. Xie Wanhe acted in the play, and he could always act so brilliantly.
"Don't deal with your own people with the same set of devils." "There are also many tricks in the tunnels of other villages." It became a classic line. The villain of the cutscene can deeply understand the lines spoken, and I can only express my favorite condemnation in the words of Teacher Zhu Shimao: "You are stealing the scene, stealing the scene!" ”
Xie Wanhe also played a positive character, and "Crossing the River" was also a company commander of the People's Liberation Army... Subject to the constraints of innate conditions, the positive characters played by Xie Wanhe and the teacher are still a bit dramatic.
In 1983, Xie Wanhe played Secretary Wang Jingwei in the movie "Commander He Long", which was his last film, still a villain, and carried the villain to the end.
In the 1980s, Xie Wanhe transferred to the Yunnan Provincial Repertory Theatre as an actor, went around and became a drama actor again.
Xie Wan and his teacher also participated in the film "Sea Eagle", "Chifeng", "Huimin Detachment", "Fight against invaders", "Dragon Species" and so on.
In 1986, Xie Wanhe and his teacher died young at the age of 59.
