On September 11, the official public account of the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe published the article "Xiang Mei: Willing to be the messenger of beauty", in which Xiang Mei's self-dictation in "Me and the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe" was released.
During the 2022 Chongyang Festival, the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe arranged two ceremonies: the inauguration of the bronze statue of the famous performing artist Sun Daolin and the opening of "Me and the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe". The troupe's documentary "Me and the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe" interviewed more than 70 troupe actors, not only leaving valuable video materials for the old artists, but also telling personal and Shanghai film stories through them.
Among them, including Xiang Mei.
Xiang Mei was born on August 10, 1937, a native of Beijing, whose real name is Wu Xiangmei, originally from Gong County, Henan. Her father Wu Zhaofa received a doctorate in biology in the United States at the age of 24, and her mother Huang Yuehua, who graduated from Soochow University, are both intellectuals. She has 8 siblings, and all seven girls are named after the character "Mei", namely Yumei, Pingmei, Xiangmei, Yanmei, Jimei, Youmei and Sumei.
In the video, the 86-year-old is still beautiful, intellectual, and elegant to introduce to Mei his "legendary" experience on the road to film.
Xiang Mei said: I was studying in the Department of Architecture of Tianjin University at that time, and when I was preparing for the last exam in my sophomore year, I was studying in the dormitory, and suddenly, an envelope "dropped" in. How can it be the "Shanghai Film Studio", where I don't know anyone? The letter said that we will pick you up in three days and let you play a major role in "Women's Basketball No. 5" directed by Xie Jin. Later, Shanghai Film Studio really came to pick up...
You say legends are not legends?
"Women's Basketball No. 5" is a sports-themed feature film produced by Shanghai Film Studio, written and directed by Xie Jin, starring Liu Qiong, Qin Yi, Xiang Mei, etc., released in 1957, the film won the silver medal of the 6th World Youth Festival International Film Festival, and won the Silver Cap Award at the Mexico International Film Festival in 1960.
Among them, Wang Aizhu, played by Xiang Mei, is the No. 9 player of the Shanghai women's basketball team.
Xiang Mei's other film representative roles include Fu Honglian in "Red Women's Army", Shi Xiuying in "The Gunfire of the Secret Bureau", Shen Yaqi in "Blue Files", Tian Wan in "University in Exile", and Queen Wuji in "Journey to the West".
After watching Xiang Mei's latest video, many netizens left messages one after another. For example, @ Zhang Zhiyong said: Teacher Xiang Mei, the immortal goddess of the film, a famous performance artist, the screen image created by her is brilliant, and each image character is brilliant, unforgettable and lingering! I sincerely wish the old artist Xiang Mei a happy and healthy old age, forever young, and a long life; @王锐: Beautiful messenger - Teacher Xiang Mei, I wish you health and happiness every day; @曙光: Teacher Xiang Mei, growing up with our generation, the most beautiful messenger! I wish Teacher Xiang Mei good health and forever the fifth women's basketball team!
Netizen @Adi talked about Xiang Mei's luck from another angle: Teacher Xiang Mei belongs to the "old and red" in his early eighties and forties, fortunately seized the opportunity, and if he is not popular, he may not have a chance. Sometimes the golden age of an actor is ten years, and opportunities do not wait for anyone, in this sense, Mr. Xiang Mei is lucky to leave his best figure on the film permanently.
In the eighties, Xiang Mei served as the head of the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe.
In the video, Xiang Mei wrote an inscription for the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe: Sound and color, full of light, blessings the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe, and left a handprint for the troupe.
I wish 86-year-old Xiang Mei a healthy and long life, and good luck!
