Li Xuejian recalled the "Uncle Jiao" in his eyes, he said: "When we were young, we all called him Uncle Jiao, and his life, because he lived very close, he also made you think of you as a Communist Party member from time to time. Everyone also demanded of me by the standards of a Communist Party member, and the occupational disease of a Communist Party member is to suffer from self-inflicted suffering. ”
China Literature and Art Report
Image is an art of dream-making, do not regret the dream of returning, only hate too hurried. The image is also the best record of history, in the light and shadow can cross time and space, not to retain time, but to retain memory, those warm moments, still fresh in memory.
In this issue of "China Literature and Art Report" classic film series sharing, Gong Yan talked with Ni Jun, associate professor and screenwriter of the Central Academy of Drama, and Zuo Heng, researcher of the China Film Archive, to review those classic films together.
When it comes to the movie "Jiao Yulu", Gong Yan's biggest impression is that there are many tears in this film, for this program, Gong Yan re-watched this movie and will still cry.
Ni Jun said that jiao Yulu, played by teacher Li Xuejian in this movie, has both divine form and form, and what impresses her most is the plot of Secretary Jiao Yulu running to the railway station in the film, he drags his sick body, covers his abdomen, and runs all the way to the train station to chase college students breathlessly. Ni Jun frankly said that after watching this paragraph, he really "couldn't stand it", Secretary Jiao Yulu was not in good health, and it was possible that he could not keep this college student after running over.
Zuo Heng said: "The most touching thing about this plot is that the plot is reversed, everyone thought that Secretary Jiao Yulu ran to the train station to keep the college students, but in fact he just wanted to send him." When the train slowly drove away, Secretary Jiao Yulu crouched on the ground, and the camera turned, and the college students who were supposed to get on the train and leave here also chose to stay. It was not only the college students who were moved by Secretary Jiao Yulu, but also the close-up shot of Secretary Jiao Yulu that also touched countless audiences.
Movie "Jiao Yulu"
When talking about the plot and details of the film, Ni Jun said that in the scene between Secretary Jiao Yulu and the old factory director in the movie, people did not eat enough to eat, and a pit was pressed on their legs, which many people did not know before, and this plot also deeply shocked everyone, and also deeply understood that today's life is not easy to come by, and it is spelled out by many cadres like Jiao Yulu.
One of the plots that made Zuo Heng cry was that Secretary Jiao Yulu's daughter saw her father's illness and the role of the chair against her liver, and she cried and said: "Daddy, let's go home, you are going to die of exhaustion." Therefore, this movie inadvertently became an excellent teaching material for the whole people to spontaneously learn about party sex education.
When talking about the performance of teacher Li Xuejian, Zuo Heng said that the film "Jiao Yulu" also had a deep impact on teacher Li Xuejian, and everyone's evaluation of teacher Li Xuejian - virtue and art, his self-discipline and investment in film art are all related to the influence on Secretary Jiao Yulu.
Many years later, Li Xuejian played another film, "Yang Shanzhou", in which he experienced life in the mountains in accordance with comrade Yang Shanzhou's living habits, took small notebooks with him to take notes, looked at the various vegetation in the mountains at any time, and once again turned himself into a Communist Party cadre who "grew up in the soil". Whether it was the saline land of Lankao County or the soil in the mountains where saplings could not grow, he was familiar with it. Therefore, when it comes to the image of communist party members in the film, "Jiao Yulu" and "Yang Shanzhou" cannot be bypassed and have become a kind of teaching material.
Film "The Age of a Thousand Clear Blues"
At the end of "Jiao Yulu", the film realizes the dream of Secretary Jiao Yulu through artistic treatment - green trees grow in saline and alkali. After this, another film set in Lankao County, "The Age of a Thousand And Ones of Clear Blues", shows that Lankao County has entered a new era, and if Secretary Jiao Yulu can see this film, how pleased it is.
When filming the movie, when Secretary Jiao Yulu's lover Xu Junya first saw Li Xuejian, she felt that this "child" was not too much like Jiao Yulu and was a little too fat. Therefore, in order to create the role of Secretary Jiao Yulu, Li Xuejian only eats radishes and cabbage at each meal, which makes Xu Junya very distressed, but don't starve the "child".
Li Xuejian sighed in the interview: "I played a lot of good Communist Party members", whether it was he was gaunt and toiling when filming "Jiao Yulu", or he turned himself into "growing up in the soil" during the filming of "Yang Shanzhou", Li Xuejian not only achieved a similarity in portraying characters, but a more similar god. Li Xuejian once said: "If the appearance is not like it, I will use my heart to act." "He impressed the audience with his superb acting skills, and he never forgot to hold on to his faith through excellent works and burn his life for it."
