Today's young people are so happy, all kinds of entertainment projects are emerging, and movies are also famous. But in the 70s of the last century, we didn't see many movies. In addition to the "eight model plays" in memory, domestic films are the "old three wars" - "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare" and "Southern Expedition and Northern War". In addition, there are some foreign movies, of which North Korean movies are the most watched.
So we remember many North Korean female stars. The unified impression they give us is that they are full of vitality, their faces are red and fluttering, and they are as round and full as ripe apples. And it's all feminine.
So now that 50 years have passed, do you all remember them? Remember the visual impact and inner touch they brought to us on the screen?
Today, Yaqing would like to review with you the 8 Korean actresses who were very popular in China in the 70s through the form of comparison between the past and the present. How did the beautiful women change later?
1. Song Lianyu: Played Jiang Lianyu in "A Nurse's Story"
"A Nurse's Story" was filmed in 1971 and released in China in 1973 after being translated and dubbed by Changying Studio. Zhao Wenyu, an actress at the long film studio, voiced the heroine of the film, Jiang Lianyu. The film tells the story of Jiang Lianyu, a young female nurse during the Korean Liberation War, who overcame many difficulties to safely escort four seriously injured people to the field hospital.
After the film was released, the episode "Nurse's Song" that appeared in it was all the rage. However, what is more difficult for the audience to forget is the heroine of the play- the young and beautiful, innocent and gentle Jiang Lianyu. She is like a beautiful Kindale, blooming on the big screen and leaving us with timeless memories.
At that time, many young guys felt the impact of "love" for the first time after seeing this movie, or rather, after seeing the heroine in the film. In the era when movies lacked emotion, most of what we saw on the screen was the image of the "Iron Maiden". At this time, I suddenly saw a beautiful woman who was as quiet as water and like a heavenly immortal, and there would naturally be ripples in my heart. It can be seen how beautiful the North Korean actor Song Lianyu, who played Jiang Lianyu in the film, gave people a good feeling at that time.
Song Lianyu later starred in films such as "Immortal Warrior", "For the New Generation", "Under the Brilliant Sunshine", "Notes of the Reporter accompanying the Army", "Female Squadron Leader" and so on. Among them, "Immortal Warrior" and "For a New Generation" have all been released in China. Song Lianyu starred as a rural girl and a female teacher, respectively.
In 1995, she also played a role in "The Train is On Time", when she was already middle-aged.
2. Kim Jeong-hwa: Played Shun-hee in "The Unsung Hero"
Kim Jeong-hwa is also a North Korean actress who is very familiar to Chinese audiences. She also appeared on the back cover of Popular Cinema magazine in the 1983s. The elegance is unforgettable.
Everyone remembers her deeply, mainly because the spy film "Unsung Hero" starring her has had a huge impact on the hearts of Chinese audiences. And the heroine Shunji she portrayed in the film is not only beautiful, but also intelligent and heroic. Fans called her "the flower of the real unsung hero." Her mature and steady acting skills have also been unanimously recognized by the audience.
Kim Jeong-hwa was born on July 2, 1945. In 1973, he began to study film acting, and in 1978, he became famous for starring in "The Unsung Hero" and became a movie star. Subsequently, she starred in films such as "Road", "Red Pilot", "My Happiness", "Old Songs of the Past", "Filial Piety", "Nation and Destiny" and so on. In 2005, he also played a role in the first Sino-North Korean co-production film "The Gladiator of the East".
Kim Jung-hwa is a North Korean meritorious actress. Today, at the age of 77, she is still dignified and beautiful.
3. Zheng Yingji: Played Zhenyu in "When Picking Apples"
"When to Pick an Apple" is a rural film shot by the North Korean Art Film Studio in 1971 and released nationwide after being translated and produced by the Changying Film Studio in the same year. Do you remember how you felt when you first watched this movie? Ever wondered why the apple in the movie is so big and round? And the girl who picked the apple was so happy so sunny and so beautiful?
Especially the heroine Zhenyu played by Zheng Yingji, that youthful face, toned posture, beautiful face, a smile and dimples, who will not like it when she sees it?
As a result, Jung Young-hee became popular and became the favorite North Korean female star in the hearts of many fans in the 70s. Since then, she has played the heroine in many North Korean films that we are familiar with, such as "The Stage in the Air", "The First Dispatcher", "Their Lessons", "There Is No Envy in the World", "Forever Comrades-in-Arms", and "A Day in the Playground". In 1986, he also played a role in "The Ridge of Fire".
In fact, I think the actress who played her sister Guiyu in "When Picking Apples" looks more beautiful, especially the shy beauty of her low eyebrows and smooth eyes, which makes many viewers feel moved. Unfortunately, until now, we didn't know what the actress's name was. It is only known that she later played the second daughter-in-law in the North Korean movie "Working Family" and also played a role in "The Village with Flowers". And in "When Picking Apples", Guiyu is voiced by Xiang Junzhu, and her voice is so soft and sweet.
4. Zheng Chunlan: Played Jin Ji and Yin Ji in "The Fate of Jin Ji and Yin Ji"
The Fate of Kim Ji and Yin Ji is a 1974 film by the Joseon Dynasty Film Studio. It was released in China in 1975 after being translated by The Long Film Studio, and set a record for the highest box office that year. Do you remember a passage that whispered "Japanese movies sell tickets inside, Romanian movies are inexplicable, and North Korean movies cry and laugh"? I think this "crying and laughing" probably became popular from "The Flower Girl" and this "The Fate of Jin Ji and Yin Ji".
When we watched this movie, how many sad tears we shed. The song "Daddy's Blessing" in the film is still sung by many friends, and the fate of twin sisters Jin Ji and Yin Ji is even more heart-wrenching. The actor Zheng Chunlan, who played Jin Ji and Yin Ji in it, also left a very deep impression on us. She portrays two girls with very different personalities and fates into a distinct image. In the film, the dance shown by Jin Ji and the struggle of Yin Ji in the depths of the water are all vividly interpreted by her.
As a result, Zheng Chunlan became a Favorite North Korean actress for Chinese film fans in the 1970s. She has a beautiful appearance, a light temperament and superb acting skills. Later, he starred in films such as "Three Concubines", "Unforgettable Comrades-in-Arms", "Rising Star", "Prosecutor's Prosecution", "Mountain Road Red Flower" and so on. In 1988, he also played a role in "The Three Concubines of Jinjiang".
5. Choi Fu-sil: Playing Jeong-hee (White Peach Blossom) in "Prototype Bilu"
"Original Form" is a 1970 film by the North Korean Film Studio. It was released in China in 1973 after the completion of the translation and production of the Long Film Studio, and it was once all the rage. I think that the audience who has seen this thrilling anti-special film will not forget the female agent Bai Peach Blossom who pretends to be a simple and kind Zhenji in it, right?
The actor who plays White Peach Blossom is named Choi Fu-sil. She presented her amazing acting skills in "The Original Form". A female agent hidden within the people is portrayed beautifully. Because of her excellent performance, the role of White Peach Blossom is also deeply rooted in the minds of the audience.
Choi Fu-sil was already a North Korean meritorious actor as early as the 1960s. She played Osmanthus in "The Girl of Mount Kong" in 1959 and the heroine in 1964 in the familiar "Textile Woman". In addition, she has acted in films such as "A Woman's Story", "The Crew of the Seagull", "On the Road to Growth", and "Beautiful Streets". A North Korean actress who is very familiar to Chinese audiences. But she died out early on.
6. Kim Hyun-sook: Played Teacher Shun-yu in "Flowers by the Banks of the Bald River"
"Flowers on the Banks of the Bald River" is a 1964 North Korean film that was also loved by audiences after its release in China in the 1970s. The film is simple and sincere, and the songs in it are also very good. It shows the selfless spirit of a female primary school teacher who dedicates everything to the cause of education in the mountain village.
Kim Hyun-sook, who plays the heroine Of Soon-wook, is also a meritorious actor in North Korea. Although her appearance is not amazing, her performance is simple and moving, quite meaningful, and leaves a very good impression on us.
Kim Hyun-sook has been making movies since the 1950s, having played roles in films such as "The Newlyweds" and "Can't Live Like That Anymore". In addition, she is also the role of shun in the "Original Form" that we are familiar with. I think everyone must remember her screen image at that time, right?
7. Park Hua-sun: Played Shun-hee in "Flower Girl"
"Flower Girl" was undoubtedly the most familiar North Korean film for Chinese audiences in the 1970s. Who didn't shed too many tears for it back then? Who wouldn't sing an interlude?
In addition to the actor Hong Yingji, who plays the heroine Hua Ni in it, I think more fans can hardly forget the little actor who played Hua Ni's sister Shunji in the film, right?
Her name is Park Ha Sun. She was still very young, but her performance was very moving. I still remember her two performances in the film. In one case, the vicious landlord's wife used piping hot Chinese medicine to burn Shunji's eyes blind. I remember when I saw this scene, I cried uncontrollably.
Another scene is when Shunji, who has become blind, learns to sell flowers along the street like her sister. "Sell flowers to yo, sell flowers to yo, sell money, go to buy medicine, to save the mother..." The poignant song with Park Hua-sun's emotional performance brings people into a heart-wrenching scene. From this, we will always remember Shun-hee, an innocent and beautiful but unfortunate little girl, and also remember Park Hua-sun, a cute little actor.
Although Park Hwa-sun later became an actress, because there was little media coverage of her, it was not known what works she had starred in. It was only once that a TV show organized the reunion of the cast and crew of "Flower Girl" that we saw what she would look like after middle age. She's changed a lot.
8. Hong Yingji: Played Hua Ni in "Flower Girl"
Hong Young-hee is arguably the most familiar North Korean actress for Chinese audiences. In the autumn of 1972, when we first met her in the open-air movie "Flower Girl", we were deeply attracted by this innocent, beautiful, and simple flower girl. As a result, she has become a "goddess" in the hearts of many audiences.
As the plot unfolds, all the audience is pulled by Hua Ni's fate, and at the same time, they are even more moved by Hong Yingji's soulful performance.
When Hong Yingji starred in "Flower Girl", she was only 18 years old. The film made her famous. After that, she entered the Pyongyang Film University for further study, and then starred in films such as "Reunion on Myohyang Mountain", "The Man Who Stayed in my heart", "Spring Festival Scenery", "The Fourteenth Winter", "We Reunited on Myohyang Mountain", "Oriental Gladiator" and other films, becoming the most famous movie star in North Korea, and was also awarded the title of People's Actor.
Her stills from the movie "Flower Girl" appeared twice on North Korea's $1 bill.
Today, the "flower girl" is 69 years old, but from her recent photos, she is still so elegant and beautiful. However, compared with when starring in "Flower Girl", the temperament is more graceful and luxurious.
In the 1970s, because many North Korean movies had been released in China, some fans also wrote skewers based on the name of The North Korean movie — "She was a "Flower Girl" whose family lived in "The Village with Flowers Blooming", she was the "Unsung Hero" fighting on "The Invisible Front", and in "When Picking Apples", she and "The Women of Namgang Village" together made the enemy "The Original Form Revealed"..." Such memories are rooted in our minds and will be unforgettable for a long time.
