Yesterday, I watched the old movie "Neighbor" again. I found that the actors in it were really very good. Although they are not particularly famous relative to those A-list stars. But they strive to restore the truth and simplicity of life, but they are so approachable. Among them, when the young actress named Yuan Munu appeared on the screen, I couldn't help but evoke many memories.
The name Yuan Munu is naturally quite unfamiliar to young audiences now. But in the hearts of fans in the 80s of the last century, she was also a bright star. Although she has not acted in too many movies, and has hardly played the first female lead, her dignified and beautiful appearance and simple and generous temperament have also left a very unforgettable impression on more fans.
Speaking of which, this is naturally thanks to that good era, whether it is film practitioners or film audiences, the distance is very close. But whenever a young actor performs well, everyone will basically remember her (or him) at the first time.
For example, Yuan Munu is the same.
First of all, we remember her because her name is very special, very romantic, poetic, very idyllic.
Secondly, as a student of the 78 star class of the Beijing Film Academy, she often appears in various film magazines with her classmates Zhou Lijing, Shen Danping, Zhang Tielin, Liu Dong, Liu Jia and others, so we have more understanding of her. At that time, it was also the best time for all kinds of film magazines.
Then we saw her performance in movies such as "The Girl with the Plate" and "Neighbor", which was very lifelike and not pretentious at all, just like someone who really existed around us, giving people a very intimate feeling.
Everyone finds that no, once someone gives you a sense of intimacy, your liking for her will increase sharply.
Yuan Munu is a kind of actor of this type. She looks beautiful and atmospheric, but she does not give people a stunning feeling like her classmates Fang Shu, Shen Danping, Liu Dong, Liu Jia and others, but like water, it is timeless, slowly flowing, and entering the audience's heart in a silent and endless way.
Yuan Munu looks so simple and low-key, many times more like a green leaf, accompanying Fang Shu, Shen Danping and other "red flowers". But in fact, she is really from a famous family, from a family of movies. Her father is yuan Muzhi, the film master who created "Road Angel" and starred in "Peach and Lee Robbery". Mention the name of Yuan Muzhi, for the older generation of film fans, who does not know, who does not know?
In 1957, Yuan Munu was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, which was her father's hometown. Her mother is Zhu Shiren, the master sister of the "Shi" generation in China's Kunqu opera industry. Her parents are both celebrities in the acting arts, and they have heard about it since childhood, which has had a huge impact on Yuan Munu's future embarkation on the road of art.
In 1978, the Beijing Film Academy resumed the college entrance examination, and Yuan Munu, who originally liked literature, took the examination of the acting department, and successfully became a member of the 78 star class with a good appearance, a generous performance, and a super sense of faith.
Many of the students in their class, as early as the first and second years of college, have been selected by the film studio to make movies, and many of the students who were not selected are still very anxious, and even doubt whether they have problems with their image and ability. Yuan Munu, on the other hand, was not in a hurry at all. Her performance is always calm and determined. And the more important reason for this determination comes from her self-confidence. She firmly believes that it is gold that always shines, and it is only a matter of time before it is a little earlier and later.
In 1981, when they were in their junior year, their acting teachers Ma Jingwu, Liu Shibing, Li Ranran and others jointly created a film script called "The Girl with the Plate", which was aimed at giving more students in class 78 a chance to practice. According to the image and temperament of the students, they chose Guo Jing to play Xiao Fanzi, Yang Xiaodan to play Zhang Zhi, and Wang Yue, Liu Jia and other students were also assigned to roles. And in the play, there is a girl with excellent character and learning, named Tong Ying, who has a lot of scenes, belongs to the female number two, who will play it? The teachers unanimously thought of Yuan Munu.
This role is almost tailor-made for Yuan Munu, because the Yuan Munu in life is also such a simple and introverted girl, and it may not be conspicuous at first sight, but after getting along for a long time, she will be moved by her charm. After the release of "The Girl with the Plate", many viewers rememberEd Guo Jing and Yang Xiaodan, and also remembered Yuan Munu's silent performance.
Subsequently, Yuan Munu appeared in the movie "Young Friend" and ran a dragon set for Zhou Lijing, Fang Shu, Zhang Tielin and other students.
And her more successful performance, I think it is in "Neighbors", she played the male protagonist Liu Lixing's daughter Liu Xiaojing, the role is not much, but the performance is very in place, not more than a point, not less than a point, almost always just right, reflecting the professional quality of a professional actor. In the film, her simple and generous style was also popular with the audience at the time, and she was a good girl who was understanding at first glance.
I think that perhaps because of this, more viewers feel that Yuan Munu is very suitable for the image of an advanced young woman with high ideological consciousness and can play an exemplary role. For example, in the popular "Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Purple" at that time, I felt that Yuan Munu was very suitable for playing the heroine Xie Jing, but the director chose her classmate Fang Shu to star.
I think that since that time, Yuan Munu has already had plans to change careers, right?
Although she came from a star class, she did not want to be a star.
Because in her bones, she is not a person who particularly likes to show her face. So she later gave up a lot of opportunities to appear on camera. Although she is beautiful and her screen image is also very recognizable, she feels that being an actress is not very suitable for her. And carefully polishing a work behind the scenes, it seems that she is more in line with her heart.
Therefore, after starring in the movie "Night Shanghai" with Shen Danping, Zhou Lijing, Zhang Tielin, Cui Xinqin and other classmates and teachers, she rarely appeared on the screen again. She put more energy into the production of film and television. Moreover, because her mother Zhu Shiren is a famous Kunqu opera artist, she has a strong affection and interest in Chinese opera, so in 1987, the first TV series she directed was "The Relics of the Southern Tang Dynasty" adapted from the famous Kunqu opera, showing her good skills.
Immediately after that, she was out of control, and directed "Long Flow", "Wind Chime Whisper", "Red Cut Flower", "Child of the Earth", "Bitter Cauliflower", "Li Qingzhao" and other dramas, most of which are opera films, and almost every one of them can win awards and achieve good results. When her old classmates Zhou Lijing, Fang Shu, Zhang Tielin, Shen Danping, etc. were busy blooming in front of the camera, Yuan Munu was willing to hide behind the scenes, engage in her favorite work, and enjoy it.
Although Yuan Munu looks quiet and quiet, she has the demeanor of everyone, but she is very devoted to her work and forgets herself, and she has also won the title of "Female Man". I remember that during the filming of "Minnan Celebrity Family" in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, her leg was accidentally broken and she was also cast. The doctor told her to "break her bones for a hundred days", not to move around, and to rest more. But where could she hear it? I was in a wheelchair and on crutches to finish filming day and night.
Later, she said that she forgot about it during the day, but it hurt terribly at night. But even so, she did not delay a day, so that many people who did not know the truth thought that she was naturally lame.
I think it is precisely because she is too dedicated, so Yuan Munu is very desperate to shoot the scene, and it is common to work overtime and stay up late. But in this way, he overdrawn his health.
On February 22, 2014, many of her old classmates were busy filming, Shen Danping was filming "Who is the Son", Zhang Tielin was filming "Shadow of the Knife", Liu Jia was filming "The Beautiful Declaration of daughter-in-law"... However, their old classmate Yuan Munu died suddenly due to cardiogenic heart disease at the age of 57.
Hearing the news, her old classmates were stunned. After all, she was still so young. At her farewell ceremony, former old classmates Zhang Tielin, Liu Dong, Chen Guoxing, Wang Yue, etc., put down their work and came to see her off. Everyone lamented her untimely death.
The last image of Yuan Munu left on TV should be the director of the nursing home in "State Audit", and her kind face is so unforgettable.
For more audiences, Yuan Munu not only has a good image, but also has a tall figure, which is a good material for being an actor, but it is a pity that she no longer acts later. What is even more regrettable is that she left this world so young. This can't help but warn us again, although dedication is a good thing, but on the road to the pursuit of career development, everything should still be stopped in moderation, and we should not pay the price of overdraft and health, otherwise there will be more and more "overwork and death" phenomenon, which is obviously what we do not want to see.
But I don't know if you remember Yuan Munu, the actor and director? Do you still remember the work she starred in and directed? Welcome to interact with more fans and friends of the fan drama through the message area. I am Yaqing, and once again I would like to thank everyone for their attention, likes and sharing, which is the greatest encouragement to me. We'll see you tomorrow at the same time.
