The old artist with both virtue and art, Fang Hua, who specializes in playing "Japanese Devils", was scolded by the audience off the screen for a lifetime because he played a Japanese officer Shenxing. Fang Hua's daughter said gently: "He is a good person who has played bad people all his life. ”
He has played a "Japanese devil" all his life, and what he is most looking forward to is to wear a Chinese dark green military uniform and play a Chinese soldier.
In 1994, 69-year-old Fang Hua finally laughed contentedly like a child who ate honey, because he played Chief Fang in "Sunny Day", but unfortunately, he died before it was broadcast.
What was Fang Hua's life like? Why can he play realistic Japanese people?
Fang Hua was born in 1925 and is a native of Huangnichuan Village, Lushun. When I was a teenager, I was admitted to Dalian Business School, and I thought that I could study well and get ahead in the future.
Unexpectedly, the school was infiltrated and controlled by the Japanese, and in addition to the superficial curriculum, the Japanese teachers also vainly wanted to indoctrinate Chinese students with servile ideas, erase their flesh and turn them into docile lambs.
When Fang Hua entered the school, he was very tired and disgusted when he found what the Japanese officers and teachers had done, and once, Fang Hua did not want to obey the teacher's arrangement and bumped into the teacher once. The head that was beaten directly broke the blood stream and dragged into the "confessional room." ”
He was not given food, he was hungry alive, and he was released when he was soft.
Fortunately, his classmates secretly rescued him, and after escaping, he went to his uncle, who was in a bad situation at that time, and his uncle's family could not give him shelter for a long time.
Therefore, Fang Hua went to do miscellaneous, and by coincidence, Fang Hua was doing miscellaneous work for the Japanese again, and this time Japan did not escape, but learned how to survive under the Japanese.
In 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender and was finally driven out of China by Chinese soldiers.
Fang Hua entered the Northeast Drama Club to continue to do miscellaneous, although he still miscellaneous because Fang Hua has a very characteristic appearance, and from time to time he is sent by the director to make guest appearances.
In 1947, director Jin Shan submitted a report to his superiors on the filming of "On the Songhua River", which is a film that shows the heroic resistance of the people of Northeast China to the Japanese army after the 918 Incident, and the Chinese people cry out for the tragedy and do not forget history.
The film has received widespread attention from people from all walks of life, performed by old artists such as Zhang Ruifang, Pu Ke, Wang Renlu, etc., and directed by Jin Shan.
The important roles are all put together, but there is no suitable candidate for the role of a Japanese captain, and the director's requirement is that the Japanese is fluent and in line with the image of a Japanese devil, but such a person can not be found.
Just when the director was anxious, Wang Renlu introduced Fang Hualai, Fang Hua has a certain Japanese foundation after working under the Japanese for many years, and his appearance is also a little disgusting at a glance.
He was born for this role completely, too much like a Japanese officer. The director was overjoyed and immediately began shooting.
Fang Hua successfully entered the group and played the Japanese captain, and Fang Hua after the performance was also a little famous, and then he was pulled to the crew of "Harbin Night", played Matsuda, and played a puppet army in the crew of "Little White Dragon".
In the 50s, the director filmed the famous movie "Zhao Yiman", and pulled Fang Hua to save the scene, playing the "director of the enemy electricity industry".
In short, Fang Hua often plays Japanese devils and villains, that is, characters who have not played a positive image. But since he is famous for his "bad" roles, he has been serious and has found his own positioning, which is not easy to be replaced.
The most famous is probably the 1954 movie "Outsmart Huashan", Fang Hua's "Fang Ziqiao" is simply bad, sinister and fierce. It is so impressive that it has become a childhood shadow for some people.
Because he has played too many Japanese devils and is realistic, Fang Hua is hated by the audience. In that era, he was also treated very unfairly, for example, children would call Fang Hua a big bad guy when they saw him on the street. Small traders and vendors will talk badly to each other when they see him coming to buy vegetables, and so on.
Fang Hua suffered such unfair treatment just because of his good acting skills, allowing the audience to enter the play too deeply, and his heart must be lost.
Fang Hua should have looked away from this and explained: "This shows that I play well, and they are also very disgusted with the Japanese invaders." ”
Fang Hua has been scolded all his life and is very eager to play a positive military image.
In order to realize his wish, he specially went to Shanghai for nasal surgery, just to change his image of old traitor.
The operation was successful, and his face changed a lot, and in 1994 he played the image of a Chinese soldier.
After putting on the military uniform of Haoran and righteousness, Fang Hua's eyes were full of tears, and his only wish was finally fulfilled, although it was only a few minutes of appearance, but it made him feel great satisfaction in his heart.
Unfortunately, after filming this movie, Fang Hua fell ill and did not see his release with his own eyes, and passed away on November 7, 1994.
Such an old artist has devoted his life to a role, honed superb and excellent acting skills, and deserves everyone's admiration and respect.
