【A Thousand Old Filmmakers Traces (365)——Wang Bei】
I don't know if you are familiar with the following song: "Ma Lanhua, Ma Lanhua, wind and rain are not afraid, Ma Lan blossoms happy, hardworking people love it ..."
Some people say, isn't this a children's song?
Yes, "Ma LanHua" is a children's song, but the song with this lyric is a movie interlude, that is, the interlude "Ma Lan Blossom Happy Coming" in the fairy tale movie "Ma Lan Hua".
Released in 1961, the fairy tale film "Ma Lanhua" tells the story of the fairy Ma Lang and the industrious and beautiful Xiaolan who formed a good relationship with Ma Lanhua as a medium and defeated the black-hearted wolf "Old Cat" who coveted Ma Lanhua.
Xiaolan girl is the second daughter of Wang Laopa, she does not abandon the hard life, married malang, the son of the mountain forest, and the husband and wife jointly created a happy life. And Father Wang's lazy eldest daughter Dalan was jealous, and as a result, she was used step by step by the black-hearted wolf "old cat"...
In the film, Wang Bei participated in the two roles of Xiaolan and Dalan alone, especially Xiaolan, who she played, was born beautiful, ice and snow smart, and looked as beautiful as Ma Lanhua, which made people at that time yearn for it.
In fact, Wang Bei has not only starred in Xiaolan and Dalan, as a female number one or important actor, she has also portrayed many classic roles, such as Jin Sulan, an acrobatic female artist in "Flying Knife Hua", Xie Hui, an intellectual woman in "Big Waves and Sands", Wan Qianhong, a song and dance actress in "Nie Er", Xiao Tao, a handmaiden of the landlord's family in "The Legend of Martial Arts", Zhang Xinghua, a young woman in "The Giant Palm of the People", Wu Wenxin, a teacher in "Two Small Football Teams", Hu Shufen, a young worker in "Happiness", and Lin Peiming, a nurseryman in "Ordinary Career".
April 28th is the 90th birthday of Wang Bei, a famous film performance artist in Shanghai Film Studio, taking this opportunity to wish Wang Bei a happy birthday to the old artist Wang Bei! Health and longevity!
Born on April 28, 1931, Wang Bei is a native of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, whose original name was Wang Shuzhen. In 1948, when she performed the drama "New Grievance" at Nanjing Normal School, she was recognized by the famous director Sun Yuhui and invited her to play Xiao Tao in the movie "The Legend of Martial Training", which was her first time acting in a movie.
Although Wang Bei later participated in "The Crow and the Sparrow" and "The Giant Palm of the People" were released first, and "The Legend of Wuxun" was not released until 1950, the first film she participated in was "The Legend of Wuxun".
In the 1950s, Wang Bei also starred and participated in films such as "Spring in the Alley", "Spinning Flower Song", "Harvest", "Huai Shang Renjia", "Two Small Football Teams", "Happiness", "Ordinary Career", "Evergreen Tree", "Nie Er" and so on.
However, Wang Bei really became a popular film actor in the 60s. His representative works such as "Ma Lanhua", "Flying Knife Hua", "Big Waves and Sands", etc., these films can be classified into the list of classic films.
In the movie "Flying Knife Hua" released in 1963, Hua Shaojie, an acrobatic artist played by Li Wei whose stage name is "Flying Knife Hua", has a flying knife skill, but is bullied by the traitors, and the tightrope actress Jin Sulan, played by Wang Bei, stands up to save him, and Hua Shaojie escapes from danger... With her acting skills, Wang Bei brilliantly interpreted the tenacious chivalrous spirit of jianghu artists.
After the 1960s and 1970s, in addition to playing a few roles such as Shi Xiaobao in "Under the Eaves of Shanghai", Wang Bei focused her main energy on script creation, such as she had written the film script "Dawn", "Nightmare Wake Up is Morning", the drama script "Du Shiniang", etc., and the novella "Falling Leaves".
In 2007, Wang Bei won the Special Honorary Award of the Golden Phoenix Award of the China Film Performing Arts Society.
Wang Bei's husband is a famous writer, poet and screenwriter Bai Birch who has edited film and television scripts such as "Mountain Bell Ringing Horse Gang", "Tonight's Starry Stars", "Peacock Princess", "Bitter Love", "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and so on. A young and beautiful, a talented, can be described as a typical talented and beautiful "artistic couple".
However, in 2008, the elderly Wang Bei suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and she seemed to have become a little girl who did not understand the world, except for her husband Bai Birch, she did not know anyone else, and her mind was almost blank.
At 2:15 a.m. on January 15, 2019, Wang Bei, who was ill left by Birch, died in Shanghai at the age of 89. Today, the 90-year-old Wang Bei is still alive, but she still doesn't know anyone and can't remember things...
