"Parents' Love", a classic TV series, is a well-known work, with its real and vivid narrative, it has won the love and popularity of the audience. The replay rate is very high so far.
Although this drama does not have grand scenes, it uses a plain plot to build a down-to-earth human love, which is moving.
In this drama, in addition to the wonderful performances of the main characters, there are also inconspicuous supporting roles, which show an inconspicuous charm in the play, which together make up the excellence of this drama.
Among them, Zhang Guilan is such a character.
01
Zhang Guilan is the wife of Jiang Defu's arranged marriage, and Jiang Defu left with the army after marrying her. There has been no news for several years.
One day, Jiang Defu suddenly came home and found that Zhang Guilan had an affair with his second brother. In a fit of anger, he immediately divorced Zhang Guilan and never returned to his hometown.
Later, the guilt-ridden second brother also left home to dig coal in the mine, but he died in an accident. At that time, Zhang Guilan was already pregnant with her second brother's child, so she had to find a man to marry in a hurry.
Zhang Guilan is like a lead, which has been pulling the development of the plot since the first episode, and she is the ex-wife of Jiang Defu who will explode when An Jie mentions it, but she has never seen the real person, and it basically appears from the third perspective.
When Jiang Defu retired and returned to his hometown in Qingdao, Zhang Guilan appeared for the first time.
02
Although there is only the line "I'll go see your third uncle", the old lady's eyes were full of drama from the moment she appeared.
From the full head of white hair, shabby clothes, to the trembling walking posture, and the melancholy and empty eyes, people can't help but feel pity for this thin and old figure.
The actor of "Zhang Guilan" portrayed Zhang Guilan very completely with only his eyes and movements in just a few minutes, making this character the most godly existence in this drama.
In addition to the strong screenwriting skills, there are also actors' superb acting skills.
However, have you noticed that in the cast list at the end of the film, you can never find the name of the actor who plays the role of Zhang Guilan.
"Zhang Guilan", whose acting skills are not inferior to the protagonist, did not leave her name in the cast, which is really a pity.
At first, some people said that Zhang Guilan's actor was played by local villagers, so there was no way to know the name.
But later I found out that the actor who played Zhang Guilan was called Song Yufang, she was not an ordinary old lady, she was a proper "red second generation" and an admirable character.
03
Song Yufang was born in Shandong, her parents were revolutionaries of the older generation, and she has been fighting for the country on the front line, and she has been fostered in the Jiaodong Nursery School in Qingdao since she was very young.
When she grew up, she became a dancer, and after marriage, she followed her husband south and quit her job as a dancer. Many years later, he returned to Qingdao with her husband and began to get in touch with some film and television work.
During the filming of "Parents' Love", Teacher Song Yufang heard the news and learned that this is a work about the innocent feelings of the fathers of the army, and it was still filmed in Qingdao, where he grew up.
Out of nostalgia for her revolutionary parents, she very much wanted to fight for a role.
So, she found Director Kong Sheng and expressed to Director Kong Sheng that she very much wanted to participate in the TV series "Parents' Love", and that it was no problem to play any role, and she was willing to play it with zero pay.
Because Teacher Song Yufang feels that a really good drama is that each character in the play has his own highlights, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, their existence is equally important.
Director Kong Sheng considered that this old-timer wanted to act so sincerely, and it was not good to extinguish her hopes, so he immediately picked and chose among the characters, and finally decided to let Song Yufang play the role of "Zhang Guilan".
In order to play this role well and be more in line with the image of the character, Song Yufang, a teacher in her 60s, deliberately lost weight before the start of filming.
Teacher Song Yufang, who lost a few pounds, presented the audience with a depressed, thin and lonely Zhang Guilan.
One makes people feel embarrassed when they think of it, and even unconsciously recalls the scene when she trembled and leaned against the wall to see her ex-husband Jiang Defu.
Undoubtedly, the role of Zhang Guilan was very successful.
04
Now Teacher Song Yufang is already in her old age, and she is still spreading the great love of the nurse who raised her with her youth and life.
This is not only an expression of gratitude to the nurse, but also a promotion of the great revolutionary spirit.
The tenacity and ingenuity of the older generation are indeed admirable.
