【100 Classic Old Movies Tour 3 - "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City"】
No.1
For the old movie "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City" released in 1963, friends of middle age and older should be familiar with it. The film is a film depicting the life and struggle of our underground party organization during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, describing the story of Yang Xiaodong, the political commissar of a guerrilla group, the Golden Ring Silver Ring, and the captain of the armed workers' brigade, Liang, who were born and died, and fought wits and courage with the enemy.
"Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City" is adapted from Li Yingru's novel of the same name, filmed by Bayi Film Studio, directed by Yan Jizhou, and starring Wang Xingang, Wang Xiaotang, Wang Zhigang and so on.
Among them, Wang Xingang played Yang Xiaodong, Wang Xiaotang played Jin Huan and Yin Huan, Wang Zhigang played Captain Liang, Zhao Ruping played Han Yanlai, Chen Lizhong played Yang Mother, Jin Qingyun played Xiao Tao, Wang Junlian played Han Xiaoyan, Xing Jitian played Zhou Dabo, Yan Xiaopeng played Mr. Miao, Wang Lianhai played Xiao Qin, Li Renlin played Gao Dacheng, Zhang Henry played Gao Ziping, Wang Runshen played Guan Jingtao, Wang Xiaozhong played Tada, Zhang Huaizhi played Lan Mao, and Li Po played the thug.
Why does the title of this article use Wang Xingang, Wang Xiaotang, and Wang Zhigang's "Three Kings" interpretation of "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City"?
The reason is that the struggle of the underground party organization depicted in the film has two lines, urban and rural, and in the movie, Yang Xiaodong, played by Wang Xingang, mainly has more intersection with the silver ring in the city, and Captain Liang, played by Wang Zhigang, mainly has more intersection with the golden ring in the countryside, so it is said that it is a wonderful interpretation of the "Three Kings" that has achieved "WildFire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City".
Of course, this does not deny the merits of Artists such as Zhao Ruping, Chen Lizhong, Xing Jitian, Yan Xiaopeng, Li Renlin, Wang Runshen, and Wang Xiaozhong, but the narrative angle is different.
No.2
In the movie, Yang Xiaodong is played by Wang Xingang. Yang Xiaodong was the political commissar of the guerrilla army of the Eighth Route Army, and he was ostensibly a gentle and elegant man, but he was resolute and capable, witty and composed, and had the spirit of sacrificing everything for the revolution. In that era of talking about the change of love, according to the requirements of the director, Wang Xingang had a good grasp of yang Xiaodong and Yinhuan, although they liked and admired each other, through the eyes and inner activities of the characters, the audience felt the admiration between them, which fully reflected the superb acting skills of the two actors.
The actor of the golden and silver rings is Wang Xiaotang. As a sister, JinHuan is a relatively mature revolutionary underground worker, strong and fierce, and bold; Yinhuan has been studying in the city since childhood, kind and simple, gentle and quiet, and his thinking is getting more and more progressive. When director Yan Jizhou invited Wang Xiaotang to play the spy double sister golden ring and silver ring, she did not dare to agree immediately, although she liked the role, but she was afraid of not acting well. After careful consideration, she gladly took over these two roles and joined hands with Wang Xingang and Wang Zhigang to shape the characters well. The film was a huge success and caused a sensation.
Wang Zhigang played the captain of the martial arts team. Wang Zhigang's representative figures include Jiang Yongquan in "Bitter Cauliflower", Guo Chunhai in "The Long Stream of Fenshui", Jin Dahong in "The Man With the Soldiers", and Zhou Daming in "Advancing into the Central Plains". In this film, the captain of the martial arts team he played, Liang Xiaodong, cooperated with Yang Xiaodong in various ways, and became a strong fortress of anti-Japanese resistance with his team members and the masses.
Han Yanlai, played by Zhao Ruping, is a truck puller who actively supports underground work. In fact, director Yan Jizhou originally wanted Zhao Ruping to play Yang Xiaodong, but after determining Wang Xiaotang, the problem arose, because in "Sea Eagle", Wang Xingang and the lovers played by Wang Xiaotang were very successful, and it seemed more appropriate for them to partner in this play.
Yang Xiaodong's mother is played by Chen Lizhong. This character is warm and cheerful, simple and kind, when the devil tries to soften her son's will to fight with mother-son affection, so that her son can persist in the struggle, she herself jumped off the building and died.
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Miao in the film is played by Wang Xiaotang's husband Yan Xiaopeng in life, which is the only film cooperation between the couple.
No.3
In "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City", there must be villain roles. Among them, Li Nonglin played the pseudo-police commander Gao Dacheng. This character is blind, cruel and vicious, in order to force Yang Xiaodong to submit, he does not hesitate to use Yang Xiaodong's relationship with his mother to get the information he wants.
Henry Zhang played the traitor Gao Ziping. Gao Ziping, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, faces death, treasons and surrenders to the enemy, and is a lord who is willing to fight for the devil.
Wang Runshen, the famous reconnaissance hero Yang Zirong in "Lin Hai Xueyuan", played Guan Jingtao, the leader of the pseudo-security army, in this film. This is a figure from an intellectual background with a sense of justice, but he was admitted to the pseudo-Qinghe Military Academy and mixed with an official and a half-post in the pseudo-security army, becoming a traitor.
Tada, played by Wang Xiaozhong, is a tall Japanese consultant and secret agent leader, sinister and cunning.
However, after 57 years, the director and many major actors have left, such as director Yan Jizhou died on June 21, 2018 at the age of 101; Wang Zhigang died of cancer on September 16, 2012 at the age of 77; Chen Lizhong died on July 21, 2012 at the age of 96; Xing Jitian died in 1996 at the age of 70; Yan Xiaopeng died on July 21, 1992 at the age of 67; and Li Nonglin died in December 1983 at the age of 69 Wang Runshen died on September 27, 2007 at the age of 83; Wang Xiaozhong died on January 22, 2016 at the age of 88; Zhang Huaizhi died in 1987 at the age of 59; and Lipo died on March 31, 2013 at the age of 85.
But what makes people happy is that the movies released in the 50s, there are still many actors in "Wildfire Spring Wind Fighting Ancient City", and now, Wang Xingang is 88 years old, Wang Xiaotang is 86 years old, and Zhao Ruping is 89 years old, which is really a happy thing.
I wish the surviving artists Wang Xingang, Wang Xiaotang and Zhao Ruping good health and longevity! Hats off to the late artists!
