The characters who can be crowned kings in the entertainment industry are among the best,
For example, Zhao Benshan, the king of sketches, Shen Teng, the new king of comedy,
Including the current costume male god, the golden eagle goddess, in addition to superb acting skills, most of the roles they play are decent, and the ending also makes people recall the wonderful meaning of life.
Naturally, there are also villains who are hated and itchy teeth and then let people give him a thumbs up, "This person, the performance is really amazing!" ”
Squareization
The famous villain Fang Hua, who is still fresh in people's minds, is such an actor.
Known as the "Devil King of the Silver Screen", he was dressed in a Japanese military uniform, his eyes were angry, and for a moment people really couldn't tell whether he was really Japanese or not.
01 The country breaks the mountains and rivers in
Of course not, Fang Hua is a pure-blooded Chinese, born in 1925, is a Dalian native,
The children of that era were born out of the hard days,
They also witnessed how the country under the storm was humiliated at the hands of the Japanese.
It is precisely because of this that Fang Hua later resolutely stepped onto the stage and played a Japanese,
In his eyes, someone plays a big hero, and someone needs someone to set off the big hero.
There is always someone to sacrifice, and he is willing to risk his life.
Fang Hua helped his parents take care of his younger siblings from a young age, and he was forced to understand things early.
Sometimes his younger siblings cried, and he learned to play kittens and puppies to make them happy, singing his sister his newly learned minor key.
Later, in order to let him have a career, his father arranged for him to learn to do business.
At that time, no matter what he did, he could not escape the control of the Japanese.
Fang Hua is young and is always pushed out to endure bullying,
The Japanese were talking incomprehensibly in their mouths, and the fierce god was holding a weapon at him viciously.
Slightly dissatisfied, he smashed things on Fang Hua's body,
Fang Hua suppressed his tears and secretly swore in his heart that if there was a day in the future, he would definitely repay today's humiliation.

Perhaps it was this personal experience that allowed Fang Hua to later portray the ugly face of the Japanese on the screen.
It is also almost impossible to tell whether he is Chinese or Japanese.
In 1944, at the age of 19, Fang Hua left Dalian and came to Changchun alone.
In order to make a living, he entered the "Full Film" production department as a recording engineer.
Speaking of being a recording engineer, he is actually a small coolie who does miscellaneous work.
For Fang Hua, he was bent on getting rid of the Japanese, but he did not expect to go out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.
Behind the "Manying" is actually manipulated by the Japanese, and Fang Hua's experience here is not much better than in Dalian.
The Japanese do not pay attention to Chinese at all, not only in terms of treatment is very different, but often have all kinds of crooked reasons to punish them.
Even verbal insults to Chinese, fists and feet,
Fang Hua was indignant in his heart, he broke his teeth and bloody throat,
Clenching his fists again and again in his heart shouted "Chinese must stand up!" ”
In fact, Fang Hua has liked to watch various dramas since he was a child, shadow puppetry,
For the actors who dance on the stage with guns and sticks, they are very yearning,
When I was a child, my family was poor, and being able to follow my mother to see a shadow puppet was as happy as eating a mouthful of white sugar in the New Year.
In this situation, Fang Hua endured humiliation and burden, he could not do anything alone, but he firmly believed that he could wait until the day when the clouds would see the sun.
02 Blood and tears pave the way for art
Finally, on September 9, 1945, the whole country rejoiced, and Japan officially surrendered to China.
Fang Hua escaped from the clutches of the devil, and the artistic dream in his heart was gradually awakened.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Fang Hua became an actor in the Northeast Drama Club under the introduction of actor Wang Renlu.
He has participated in several performances such as "Motherly Blood", "Yang Zhuangyuan", "Deserted Mountain Villa" and so on, and has accumulated certain experience on the stage.
What really changed his fate was the movie "Songhua On the River", which starred Zhang Ruifang, Pu Ke and other big stars.
The other characters have been fixed, but the Japanese captain has not yet landed,
Director Jin Shan was a little worried, and when he saw Fang Hua performing a drama on the stage, his heart was excited, this person was the feeling he wanted.
Soon, the film was successfully released, in addition to the main character is impressive, and the villain of Fang Hua is remembered by many viewers.
Fang Hua's first time facing the big screen, although it is not yet comfortable, but sheng in his performance is uniquely creative, good at thinking and discovering,
"Songhua River" Fang Hua played the Japanese army captain
He also changed from a behind-the-scenes worker to a film actor, and later he performed "Little White Dragon" and "Harbin Night", which also increased Fanghua's popularity to a certain extent.
Later, he successively performed many films such as "Zhao Yiman", "Children's Relatives", "Victory of the Inner Mongolian People", "Wisdom to Huashan", "Infinite Potential" and so on, in these films, Fang Hua mostly played villains such as "secret agent", "Japanese officer" and "bandit army".
It was also from this time that the image of Fang Hua was gradually framed, and later Matsui in "Plain Guerrilla" made the audience hate him to the bone.
During that time, even half-grown children on the street saw Fanghua's movie posters and pointed at him and said" "Big bad guy!" ”
Fang Hua's portrayal of the character has reached the point of pure fire,
After he put on the costume of the Japanese army, his mind came to mind the ugly face and their cruel practices when he was bullied by the Japanese.
Perhaps others can't understand, Fang Hua is the most clear, but the actor always has to experience first-hand that life has reached the state of human-drama unity when filming.
And his artistic path is paved with his own blood and tears.
The audience was provoked by Fang Hua when watching the play, but when they walked out of the movie theater, they learned that Fang Hua was Chinese and not a Japanese actor who had been found.
After carefully tasting it, he was amazed at his acting shooting, and since then, fanghua has added the title of "ghost professional household".
With Matsui in "Plain Guerrilla", Fang Hua won the "Ministry of Culture 1949-1955 Best Performance Award for Excellent Film"
03 Success or failure is in the "Devil King"
Who doesn't want to be worshipped as a hero? Fang Hua also hopes to play a decent military role,
However, his image is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the audience will automatically enter the seat when they see his face.
Even the director said, "You're born to eat this bowl of rice, so don't refuse!" ”
Later, he played the role of Yuheng Ito, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and Ono, the Japanese squad leader in "Sanjin Yamashiro".
In the past few years, he has also made many movies, "Horse", "Unfinished Comedy", "Hongyan", "Railway Guard", "Dongmei", "Wan MuChun", "Two Families", "Morning in the South China Sea" These films are all screen classics in the hearts of a generation.
Interestingly, in 1974, the long film studio remade the movie "Plains Guerrilla",
Among the hundreds of actors, there is not one who can surpass the square, and they have no choice but to use the old version of Matsui again.
This time, Fang Hua himself felt that his villain's bowl was not easy to put down.
Many people began to call Fanghua "Devil King" to associate him with japanese devils, which also had a huge impact on his personal life.
In 1957, the special era caused many people to suffer, and Fang Hua was also criticized because of his screen image.
Fang Hua really had words of suffering in his heart, and such absurd reasons made him resist his favorite performance for the first time.
Obviously, he is full of patriotism and willingly sets off others to become great heroes, and in the end his efforts become the reason for being questioned.
These people seized Fang Hua and tortured him severely, believing that he played the Japanese like this, it must be because of impure motives.
The physical pain was still bearable, but his sincerity was trampled on, and he seemed to have been sucked out of his soul, became less enthusiastic, and lost faith in life.
Later, when the spring returned to the land, Fang Hua was also transferred from the Long Shadow Factory to the Pearl Shadow Factory, and he was 54 years old this year.
Whether it is energy or physical strength is not as good as before, with the persistent pursuit of art, Fang Hua performed films such as "The Man Who Dealt with the Devil", "The Legend of Nanling", "Feng Murder Ji" and so on.
Without exception, Fang Hua was followed in the spotlight by villains until 1994, when director Jiang Wen invited Fang Hua to play an old general in "Sunny Days".
It turned out that Jiang Wen had always regarded Fanghua as an idol, and in his mind, Fanghua could not only play the Japanese army, but also be decent.
Hearing that he could play a great general, Fang Hua, who had resigned for a long time, dragged his sick body to the set, and he came with a doctor and his wife, when they were not filming, they kept Fang Hua step by step, at this time Fang Hua was 69 years old, and he finally waited for the opportunity to play the hero role himself.
He slowly took Jiang Wen's hand, deliberated for a long time or asked him, "No one else will let me play a decent, aren't you afraid of influence?" ”
Jiang Wen is a person who says one thing and one thing, he looks at the people he has always regarded as idols so carefully, and his heart is also sour
"You are acting for the people, and in my heart, you are a real hero"
Fang Hua was moved to tears by Jiang Wen's words, and his thoughts were finally seen.
So many years of wishes have also been fulfilled, which makes him how undeserved.
The wife was holding him on the side, helping him wipe his tears, seeing her husband like this,
She also felt uncomfortable in her heart, knowing that she was seriously ill and did not want to trouble the country.
He always said that he wanted to contribute to the people and could not drag the country behind.
04 The integrity of the old artist
After Fang Hua finished filming his own shot in "Sunny Day",
Died on November 7, 1994 due to illness at the age of 69,
The character who has played the villain for a lifetime could not wait for the release of the work, and did not see himself in military uniform.
What is even more touching is that Fang Hua refused expensive drugs arranged for him by his family and doctors when he was critically ill.
He insisted on not wasting the resources of the country, and no one could convince him.
The love of the country led him to force his eyes to pull out the needle several times in a coma,
He murmured, "Leave me alone, don't waste the state's money.."
The wives standing in front of the hospital bed have long been crying into tears, they have been married in 1943 for 51 years.
Her education level is not high, she only knows how to take care of the family, wash and cook, clean,
For so many years, Fang Hua has been accommodating himself, he can always find the joy of the two people's lives, and he has never disliked her because of her lack of culture.

The two people have been together for half a lifetime, and he has always said to himself, "I want to contribute my strength to the masses of the people, and you have suffered a lot of grievances after following me over the years."
Even if it is a star, Fang Hua has always been low-key and calm,
Fading the aura of an actor, he enjoys the days of tea at home and listening to the play.
In 1980, Fang Hua and Zhang Shuzhen took a group photo at the Pearl Film Factory
After Jiang Wen learned of Fang Hua's death, he burst into tears in the corners of his eyes, posted a post to remember the old artist, and became friends with Fang Hua's son.
Fang Hua's son also angry with him, he became Jiang Wende's assistant, and now he is also an excellent assistant director and producer.
We can still find out the film and television works that Fanghua has made on TV to enjoy, and everything that time has given us seems to have its arrangement and reason.
There are only a few excellent actors like Fang Hua,
He used his own experience to evoke the heroism of the film, he is an obscure true hero, but also a well-deserved "devil king"
Fang Hua represents the faith in the hearts of the older generation of artists of that era who had great love and selfishness.
Sacrificing the ego for the interests of the country and the people, and stepping on all difficulties and obstacles,
His efforts are no less than any actor, but he has long since stopped caring whether he is praised by the people.
He put into acting with a spirit of selflessness, drinking all the difficulties down, and it is this dedication that makes us remember Elder Fang forever.
