In 1976, Shui Hua, a famous director of Bei film studio who had directed many classic films such as "White Haired Girl", "Lin Family Shop", "Revolutionary Family", "Eternal Life in the Fire" and so on, was ready to put Lu Xun's novel of the same name "Wounded Death" on the screen. In the choice of actors, he hopes to find an actress with a good look and a bookish temperament to play Zijun. Lin Ying, who once played Sun Mingxia in "Eternal Life in the Fire", entered Shui Hua's sight and felt that she was very suitable for her to play Wang Xingang, who planned to play Juansheng. But at the same time, Shui Hua also felt that Lin Ying and Wang Xingang were slightly older and slightly deficient in age, so he wanted to find another group of younger actors to play Zijun and Juansheng.
Ma Bingyu and Niu Lishan, the assistant directors in charge of casting actors, received the task and arrived in Nanjing. In order to work better, they found their original colleague Zhang Xiaobin. Zhang Xiaobin was originally an artist at the North Film Studio, but because his wife was in Jiangsu, he returned to Nanjing, and he was relatively familiar with the situation in Nanjing.
After learning the origin of the two, Zhang Xiaobin immediately remembered a person. It was a young girl, very beautiful, and fresh temperament, very in line with the character of Zijun. However, after finding this girl, I found that her head was burned, and her pure temperament was gone. This made the group very disappointed. And just as they were about to get up and say goodbye, another girl appeared in front of them. Only to see her standing tall, good looks, gentle and calm, seems to be more like a zijun. This made Niu Lishan's eyes light up, and he immediately called her and recommended her to director Shui Hua.
It is said that this girl who is favored is Ma Junqin. The girl who was originally favored was her sister. At this time, Ma Junqin had just returned to the city from the countryside where he had joined the team and was assigned to an art company to work as a framer. The appearance of Niu Lishan and others completely changed her fate. It can be said that Niu Lishan was the first noble person in her life.
Before this, Ma Junqin had not been exposed to performance, and in order to let her quickly enter the state, Niu Lishan specially found teachers from the drama troupe and the song and dance troupe to tutor her. It is this kind of "crash course" like learning that makes Ma Junqin gradually touch the doorway of performance.
After Ma Junqin followed Niu Lishan to Beijing, after an audition, director Shui Hua felt quite satisfied. But unfortunately, young actors who can play Trickle have never been found. In the end, for the sake of safety, Shui Hua decided to use the combination of Wang Xingang and Lin Ying. In this way, Ma Junqin's film dream was temporarily shelved.
But just when Ma Junqin was preparing to return home, she met a nobleman at the guest house of the North Film Studio, that is, the famous film performance artist Sun Daolin. At that time, Sun Daolin was participating in "Li Siguang" in Beiying, and after meeting Ma Junqin, he had a good impression of this 23-year-old girl. When he heard the news that Ma Junqin had lost the cast from the crew of "Wounded Death", he immediately remembered that the film "Dead Light on Coral Island" that the studio was preparing to shoot was also looking for an actor, so he introduced her to the production director Shen Jianhua.
Everyone knows that Ma Junqin, a member of the old third term, was originally just an ordinary returning young man. But because of fate, she became a film actress. The first film she participated in was "Dead Light on the Coral Island", and the nobleman who helped her to the screen was Sun Daolin.
Sun Daolin not only opened Ma Junqin's on-screen journey, but also found a suitable work unit for Ma Junqin, that is, the Jiangsu Repertory Theatre. At that time, "Dead Light on Coral Island" had already begun filming, and Ma Junqin saw Sun Daolin again at the Shanghai Film Studio. In Sun Daolin's view, Ma Junqin's personal conditions are very good, his appearance is correct, his figure is tall, and it is a pity that he is not an actor. So he suggested that she apply for the Jiangsu Repertory Theatre, and for the sake of safety, he also wrote a letter of recommendation for her to Zhang Hui, the head of the Jiangsu Provincial Dialect.
And what is the relationship between Sun Daolin and Zhang Hui? That's a "brother" on the screen. At that time, they starred in the movie "Home" together, Sun Daolin played the old Juexin, Zhang Hui played the old sanjue hui, and the two established a deep relationship. Therefore, the eldest brother personally wrote a letter of recommendation to the third brother, which undoubtedly opened a pass for Ma Junqin.
However, at that time, Ma Junqin did not know anyone who spoke jiangsu province, and could not even find a place to knock on the door. At this moment, another noble person of hers appeared, that is, Ma Xiaowei, a Jiangsu actor who was participating in the movie "Love of the Sea" in the film studio.
It was under the leadership of Ma Xiaowei that Ma Junqin successfully met the fourth nobleman, Zhang Hui, and after passing the examination, she entered the Jiangsu dialect as she wished and became a professional actor.
After that, Ma Junqin met many nobles, such as Zhang Hongmei, the director of "Dead Light on the Coral Island" (who played the second concubine in the classic old movie "Southern Expedition and Northern War"), the famous actor Qiao Qi, the famous voice actor Qiu Yuefeng, Qiao Hazel, etc., who gave Ma Junqin selfless help in performance and line processing, so that she, a layman, brilliantly completed the performance task of the heroine Meng Na in "The Dead Light on the Coral Island".
After its release in 1980, Dead Light on a Coral Island was well received by audiences. And Ma Junqin has also become a movie star, her pure image, and elegant temperament, still exist in the hearts of many audiences and fans.
After that, Ma Junqin successively participated in many film and television dramas such as "Baby", "Xiangxi Bandit Chronicle", "Qingqing Riverside Grass", "Latent", "Good Man of Jiangbei" and so on, accumulating rich performance experience and becoming a powerful actor.
Through the fame experience of ma Junqin, a former beauty star, we can see that a person's success is never achieved overnight. In addition to your own talent and hard work, it is very important to have noble people to help you along the way. And why would these people help her regardless of the return? I think that in addition to Ma Junqin's own outstanding conditions, it is even more inseparable from her diligence, modesty, and politeness.
And Ma Junqin not only became an actor with the help of a group of old artists, but also learned from these predecessors their selfless character of helping others and their meticulous spirit of art. These qualities have invisibly become the greatest wealth that Ma Junqin has gained, so that she has always had her own persistence in both her acting career and in the world. Later, she also became a person who was willing to help others.
In 1983, Chi Zhiqiang, a small actor in the long-term film studio who was originally developing smoothly in the film industry, had an accident because of committing the crime of "hooliganism". For a time, the national media, including some filmmakers, were accusing Chi Zhiqiang. In this case, Ma Junqin was the first to stand up and openly help Chi Zhiqiang. She learned some real things from Chen Lin, an old actor who had worked with Chi Zhiqiang, and believed that "a person cannot be arbitrarily distorted and completely denied because he has done a wrong thing." She felt that many media reports at that time had distorted the facts, so she wrote a manuscript and published it on the headlines of the "Weekend" newspaper, telling everyone the truth of the matter. This was the first report on Chi Zhiqiang's "justification" of his name after he was imprisoned, but no one expected that this report was actually from the hands of Ma Junqin in Nanjing.
After that, she established a deep friendship with Chi Zhiqiang. Later, Chi Zhiqiang said in an interview that in those gray days, the most grateful person was The military service sister. I think the reason why Ma Junqin did this is only because too many people have reached out to her when she needs help — the structure of the herringbone is to support each other.
In fact, Ma Junqin did not shoot much in the 80s, which was a world away from Chen Chong, Zhang Yu, Liu Xiaoqing and others in the same period. But why has the impression of this former beauty star left in the minds of the audience for many years been very good and unforgettable? I think the biggest reason is that she, like Sun Daolin, Qiu Yuefeng, Zhang Hui and other predecessors, acts seriously, acts innocently, and no matter who has difficulties, she will lend a helping hand.
Now that she is 67 years old, she has long become a national first-class actor. She is no longer young and has long since retired from Jiangsu Province. But she is still active in front of the film camera. In life, she is warm and cheerful, loves Zhang Luoshi, and likes to travel. We can see from her exposed recent photos that she is still so dignified and elegant. This reminds me of a saying: People with good hearts are always beautiful – because faces are born from the heart.
