He is the representative of the third generation of directors and is known as the "first person" of contemporary Chinese film directors;
In the centenary course of the development of Chinese cinema,
The films he directed have accompanied the audience for half a century, and he is the famous director Xie Jin.
Why is the life of such an artist with artistic cells and a love of drama unsatisfactory?
Two of the four children born died,
His most important actors throw cash at their funerals,
What the hell is going on here?
In 1923, Xie Jin was born in Zhejiang to a family of scholars.
At the age of eight, he moved with his mother to Shanghai to reunite with his father;
When he first arrived in Shanghai, his mother was afraid that he was not used to it, so she took him to the movies.
This also laid the foundation for his future film path.
Maybe it was the reason of the times, maybe it was his mother's momentary curiosity that gave him interest,
At that time, it was a period when the revolutionaries' ideas were active, and Zhejiang was a city with active ideas.
Young people were influenced by the ideas of Lu Xun, Qiu Jin and other martyrs,
Xie Jin may have planted the idea of serving the people in his heart.
At that time, the Wuhan Anti-Japanese Literary troupe performed in Hong Kong,
The song of saving the country and surviving was turbulent in Xie Jin's mind;
After returning to Shanghai the following year, he began to actively participate in amateur theatrical activities.
Propagating the idea of resisting Japan and saving the dead,
He longed to express his patriotic feelings in his heart with literary and artistic works.
After that, he was introduced by a friend to the Venus Film and Drama Youth Training Class and began to really get in touch with drama and film.
Under the influence of the teachers and classmates in the class, he was more clear about his future life goals.
At that time, his father had already planned his future life goals for him:
After graduating from the third year of high school, he was admitted to Jiaotong University and then went to the United States for further study;
Against his family's wishes, he resolutely applied for drama school!
This move was not supported by the family, and even insulted by the father;
When the news reached his hometown, he was scolded by the family for "corrupting the door style".....
Because there is a stipulation in his house rules: you can't speculate in stocks in this life, you can't become a drama,
So at the age of 18 he ran away from home.
Alone, he went to Jiang'an County in Southern Chuan to study drama and realize his dream.
Of course, the environment of small counties cannot be compared with large cities.
At first he couldn't adapt to life here.
But gradually he was infected by the patriotic enthusiasm of these theatrical artists here,
I slowly adapted to life here and began to study theater.
Here he also found his lifelong companion Xu Dawen,
At that time, the Kuomintang reactionaries began to spread rumors and crack down on the students' theatrical propaganda activities.
As a result, he and his lover were separated;
After that, he followed his teacher to the Chongqing China Youth Drama Society, and only then did he reunite with his lover again.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Xie Jin organized a drama club in Shanghai, and in this year he married his lover Xu Dawen.
In 1948, he returned to Shanghai and was invited by the Datong Film Company to shoot films.
Officially began his career as a director.
After the founding of New China, Xie Jin filmed "Chicken Feather Letter" in 1953.
This was the first film he made with the theme of workers, peasants, and soldiers;
This film, which reflects the rural production and socio-political landscape at that time, was praised by the masses.
So he kept up with the times and got close to the lives of the masses,
Filmed successively
Excellent works such as "Spring in the Water Town", "Red Detachment of Women", "Stage Sisters" and so on;
He even used the film "Red Detachment of Women"
Won the four awards of the first "Hundred Flowers Award"!
In 1963, Xie Jin's life was greatly changed.
Influenced by the Cultural Revolution, Xie Jin's parents unfortunately became tools of revolutionary struggle;
He was raided and isolated, listed for criticism, and his father could not stand such humiliation and swallowed 100 sleeping pills to commit suicide.....
By the time the people arrived, the body was cold, and the results of the investigation actually said that the father had committed suicide in fear of sin!
Two years later, my mother also followed my father to commit suicide and died...
After this catastrophe,
Xie Jin later composed the "Reflection Trilogy"
"Legend of Tianyun Mountain", "Wrangler", "Furong Town" to commemorate this sad history,
To show the new spirit of the times after the motherland has come out of this civil strife.
Xie Jin's vision is unique, good at excavating actors and good at cultivating new people, willing to give newcomers a chance, which also makes a "Wrangler".
The actors and actresses were newcomers at that time and had never acted,
The bold launch made this drama win the "Best Picture" and "Excellent Film" of the Hundred Flowers Award.
It has not only made Xie Jin, but also made history, and also made the male and female protagonists.
Xie Jin, who has achieved something in the movie, is not satisfactory in his life.
After marrying his wife Xu Dawen, his wife gave birth to four children for him.
However, the third and fourth of these four children are congenital intellectual disabilities, and usually have special care for their daily lives;
The third son also suffered from congenital asthma, and soon after because of the acute attack, the hospital issued a critical illness notice...
At that time, Xie Jin immediately rushed back from abroad after visiting abroad and learned the news that his son was critically ill.
See the last side of the child.
The wife was devastated by the death of her third son,
Xie Jin put down all the work at hand to accompany his wife during that time.
Accompany him through those sad years;
At that time he was just a father and a husband.
After coming out of the mountains again, he is still the director who said one thing harshly on the set.
The fourth son was luckier, and his wife took good care of him carefully;
As an adult, Xie Jin sent him to the factory and asked him to do what he could.
Lest I be absent in the future and have no one to take care of me.
Among these children, the one who inherited Xie Jin's artistic cells was the eldest son, Xie Yan.
He graduated from the film department of New York University in the United States, and when he returned to China, he planned to inherit his father's mantle and prepare to do a big job in the field of film.
But Heaven was jealous of the talent, Xie Yan's physical condition became worse and worse shortly after he returned to China.
I went to the hospital to check and found out that I had liver cancer!
Four years later, he was killed by cancer.
Before leaving, he left 75% of his property to his fourth brother,
Leave a guarantee for his future so that he has no worries.
The 84-year-old Xie Jin suffered the loss of his son again seventeen years later.
The pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man made him extremely desperate,
This also means that no one inherits their own film art.
Two months later, he was invited by his alma mater to return to his alma mater to participate in the celebration.
There was no driver on that occasion, and the secretary was with him.
He traveled in a van with his alumni and stayed alone in the hotel;
He reminded the waiter to wake him up the next day, and the next day the waiter called to wake him up and no one responded....
When I went to the room, I saw that Xie Jin was already lying on the bed coldly, and I didn't expect to never come back after this trip!
After being tested by the doctor, it was sudden cardiac death, perhaps it was too excited to see an old friend when he returned to his hometown;
Perhaps it was the death of his son who had taken him too much of a blow to damage his body.
The master is dead, and exploring too many causes of death will not save his life.
The family held a funeral for him, and many first-line actors and well-known directors came to give him his last journey.
But Liu Xiaoqing carried a bag of cash to the scene,
This makes people wonder what really happened between the two?
Why did she make such a move, which was praised by Xie Jin?
Later, according to media reports, all this had to start from the origin of Liu Xiaoqing and Xie Jin:
Before Liu Xiaoqing stepped into the entertainment industry, Xie Jin had a dream of directing.
With full of enthusiasm and passion, he has served as a theater actor in some plays,
Later, I slowly had the opportunity to be a director's assistant and then become a director step by step.
Keep learning from experience.
In 1960, Xie Jin's "Red Detachment of Women" was a great success.
Began to emerge in the film industry;
With great ambitions, he also founded a star school to cultivate talents.
Liu Xiaoqing was valued by him.
In 1973, Liu Xiaoqing officially stepped into the show business circle because of his excellent acting skills.
Under his guidance, he starred in "Furong Town" to make Liu Xiaoqing a hit,
In one fell swoop, she won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award.
This movie also makes the relationship between Liu Xiaoqing and Xie Jin better and better,
After learning that the two are fellow countrymen,
Liu Xiaoqing also met Xie Jin's wife, Xu Dawen, and has been in touch ever since.
When Xie Jin died, it was just over a month before his birthday, and Liu Xiaoqing was ready to celebrate the birthday of his mentor.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly received the news of the death of my mentor!
Although Liu Xiaoqing was working at the time,
She still put down her busy work and hurried to the scene to take a plane to the scene to send the teacher on the last journey.
She brought it to the scene with a bag full of cash.
After paying tribute to Xie Jin, she brought the bag of cash to Xu Dawen and asked her to accept the money.
However, Xu Dawen rejected Liu Xiaoqing's kindness and was reluctant to accept it.
Helplessly, Liu Xiaoqing had no choice but to threaten:
If you don't take the money, I'll scatter it in the memorial hall!"
In fact, she knew that Liu Xiaoqing's original intention was not to make a big fuss, she just wanted to do her best.
The illness of the third and fourth children has cost the family's savings, and the death of her husband has led to the loss of the top pillar of the family.
Make it worse for families who are already not rich, who will need money in the days to come.
Liu Xiaoqing's move also shows that she is not an ungrateful person.
She always remembers that her fame is inseparable from the promotion of her mentor, and she also makes her go on the road of acting for a longer time.
Xie Jin's death means the end of the Xie Jin era,
Living for the film all his life, he used realistic films to record the real social landscape.
The era has Xie Jin, Xie Jin has no era,
Man has passed away, but he has left these excellent works that deserve our careful viewing,
Feel the customs and customs of that era.
