In 1941, a beautiful Ningbo girl named Wang Yufeng, because of her "natural beauty", was favored by the director Zhu Shilin, and after changing her name to Wang Danfeng, led her to the screen and made her bloom between light and shadow.
More than a decade later, in 1956, Wang Danfeng had become a glittering star of the Shanghai Film Studio known for his beauty, and in the movie "Home", which was adapted from Mr. Ba Jin's novel, he successfully portrayed the weak, beautiful and loyal Mingfeng, which made the audience across the country fall in love with it.
It was also in the same year that Wang Xiaotang, who was still an actor and announcer in the General Political Drama Troupe, was selected by Lin Nong, the director of the Long Film Factory, because he looked "like Zhou Xuan and Wang Danfeng". She thus starred in the first film of her film career, "The Mysterious Traveling Companion", and since then she has opened her own film actor road, and at the same time, it has also made the Chinese screen give birth to a new goddess.
Since then, on the Chinese screen, for a long time, the "two kings", Wang Danfeng and Wang Xiaotang, are symbols of beauty.
About the "beauty dispute" between the two, it has always been a topic of interest for fans.
Later, the Hong Kong singer Rowan once said such a passage: The fans of their time were basically divided into two factions. One faction likes Wang Xiaotang, and the other faction likes Wang Danfeng. They both have unparalleled beauty, and because of this, many people confuse their looks.
Wang Danfeng and Wang Xiaotang. The difference between the two is 10 years. For Wang Xiaotang, Wang Danfeng is a teacher and a senior. Before she became a film actress, she often went to the theater to enjoy the films starring Wang Danfeng, and was impressed by the amazing beauty and moving performances she presented on the screen. At that time, Wang Danfeng's role as the exploited and bullied fisherman girl in "New Fisherman's Song" and Xue Baochao in "Dream of the Red Chamber" all left an extremely deep impression on her.
Wang Xiaotang did not expect that in the future, he could become a big star with the same name as Wang Danfeng, and he did not expect to maintain a sincere friendship with his predecessor Wang Danfeng for nearly 40 years.
The sisterhood between these two goddesses also amazed the audience.
In 1962, China selected the "Twenty-two Stars", And Wang Danfeng of the Shanghai Film Factory and Wang Xiaotang of the Bayi Factory were on the list. At that time, the outside world rumored that the two looked very similar, and Wang Danfeng was also curious, and once went to the Bayi Factory to see Wang Xiaotang and see "what it doesn't look like in the end.". But because Wang Xiaotang went out to shoot films, he failed to do so.
Regarding the question of how the two looked, Wang Xiaotang had certainly heard about it. She took out the photos of the two and compared them, saying that looking at the photos alone, it is actually not very similar, but the state on the screen has many similarities.
The real meeting between Wang Xiaotang and Wang Danfeng was actually a meeting at the Wen Dynasty after 1976. I really didn't expect that I would see each other as I always would, and I would hate each other late. Without any transition, I became a good friend without saying anything. Together, there are always endless topics.
Wang Xiaotang said: If you don't see it, you won't see it, and it's good to see it.
On that occasion, Wang Danfeng tightly grasped Wang Xiaotang's hand and handed her a note with a neat line of small characters written on it. Wang Danfeng said, this is my address and telephone number, if you come to Shanghai, you must come to me.
It's like a convention. Wang Xiaotang remembered it in his heart.
Since then, every time Wang Xiaotang arrives in Shanghai, he will inevitably go to visit Wang Danfeng. And every time they met, they opened each other's conversation boxes, talked very happily, and forgot the time every time. The two once agreed to star in a movie together, but this good wish was never realized.
On the days when the two did not meet, they exchanged letters. Wang Xiaotang said that if she had not read Wang Danfeng's letter for a while, she would miss her very much.
At that time, as long as Wang Xiaotang had a little progress, or a good thing, he would always tell the eldest sister Wang Danfeng for the first time, Wang Danfeng was the same, no matter what new things he encountered in life, he would share it with his little sister Wang Xiaotang.
People who are familiar with Wang Danfeng know that she has been very subtle and low-key in her life, speaking politely to everyone and maintaining a moderate distance. But only for Wang Xiaotang, he always made an exception.
In 1997, after Wang Danfeng retired from the Shanghai Film Studio, he came to Hong Kong with his wife Liu Heqing and set up the "Gongdelin Shanghai Vegetarian Restaurant", which was very popular. In the same year, Wang Xiaotang, who had been promoted to major general, as the director of bayi factory, brought bayi factory's large-scale film "The Great Twist" to Hong Kong to hold a premiere ceremony. When Wang Danfeng learned the news, of course, she was present to congratulate her, and she warmly invited Wang Xiaotang and her team to the "Gongdelin Shanghai Vegetarian Restaurant" to celebrate.
Wang Xiaotang was extremely happy and led ten people in the team to go happily, and as a result, he was treated with the highest standards by Wang Danfeng and her husband, Mr. Liu Heqing. Wang Xiaotang still remembers the enthusiasm shown by Wang Danfeng, the two held hands and said many confidant words, and whenever they recalled the friends who were familiar with the two people, they would look at each other and smile. That scene was particularly warm.
In 2005, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema, the China Film Museum opened to welcome. Wang Xiaotang is a member of the expert group, and in the fourth exhibition hall, 100 statues of famous filmmakers will be set up. Wang Danfeng's image is Jian Suhua in the Nurse's Diary. To this end, Wang Danfeng specially entrusted Wang Xiaotang to go to Tianjin Clay Man Zhang to review the character model and check it for her.
In 2013, Wang Danfeng received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the China Society for Performing Arts. Because 88 Wang Danfeng was inconvenient to travel at that time, he entrusted his daughter to receive the award on his behalf. And when she learned that Wang Xiaotang would also appear at the award ceremony, she specifically instructed her daughter to express her thoughts to Wang Xiaotang. When Wang Xiaotang received this greeting, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Wang Xiaotang did not expect that on May 2, 2018, his good sister Wang Danfeng flew away like a butterfly. She was particularly sad, so she also wrote a letter by hand and sent it to Shangying, named "There is Hope", expressing her boundless nostalgia for Dan Fengjie. She wrote: With her there, there is hope. What to expect? Looking forward to her ding-dong, entrustment...
The words are sincere, the sentences are touching.
Probably from this time on, people learned that the beautiful "two kings" on the screen had never carried out any "beauty dispute", but were the sister flowers with the best relationship. Wang Xiaotang said that few people knew that she and Wang Danfeng would be so good in private. True fairy friendship has always been low-key.
In fact, because they are separated in Shanghai and Beijing, they do not have much time to meet, but this friendship spans time and space and emits an intoxicating fragrance.
A lot of people say they are like. The two are indeed very similar, both on and off the screen, so beautiful, so good, and at the same time have great wisdom. I think this is the most important reason why they have been loved by generations of fans, right? As goddesses in the hearts of generations, they are well-deserved.
So, when you were watching movies, which of the "two kings" did you prefer? Is it Wang Danfeng? Or Wang Xiaotang? Welcome to go through the message area and talk to more fans. I am Yaqing, thank you again for the attention and tips of netizens, we will meet again at the same time tomorrow.
