In the mid-1970s, Zhang Guomin became a spokesperson for the image of workers, peasants and soldiers with the image of "Tall Spring" in the movie "Golden Light Avenue".
More than 40 years have passed, and the audience who has watched "Cotai Strip" is not young, and Zhang Guomin's tall spring is still unforgettable to them, and he is the national idol of that era.
Originally from Hengshui, Hebei Province, Zhang Guomin was born on June 20, 1949 in Harbin, Heilongjiang.
His father was the director of the Harbin Railway Literary and Labor Troupe, and Zhang Guomin was the first to get the moon near the water building, and he was well educated by art since childhood.
After graduating from high school, 19-year-old Zhang Guomin was admitted to the Guangxi Military Region's Literary and Art Propaganda Team, became a literary and artistic soldier, and later transferred to the Guangzhou Military Region's Soldiers' Drama Troupe.
In 1975, Changchun Film Studio put Haoran's novel "Golden Light Avenue" on the screen, originally planning to shoot three episodes, but for some reason only two episodes were filmed, and the next episode could not be made.
Zhang Guomin was selected to play the male protagonist Gao Daquan because of his standard worker and peasant soldier appearance and excellent business ability, and Wang Fuli, who played his daughter-in-law, was known as the "world's first sister-in-law" because of this film.
"Golden Light Avenue" was filmed on location in Hebei, on the night of July 28, 1976, the whole crew was sleeping, suddenly a wave of shaking, the sudden Tangshan land shocked people to wake up, Zhang Guomin's first reaction was to pick up the young actor Ma Chuan who played his son in the movie and run outside.
Ma Chuan is the son of actor Ma Jingwu, and director Sun Yu praised him: "This incident fully proves that we are right to choose Zhang Guomin to play Gao Daquan, because he himself has the same spirit of sacrifice as Gao Daquan." ”
"Cotai Strip" is Zhang Guomin's first film, his standard Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, simple and thick, righteous and awe-inspiring image perfectly fits with Haoran's tall spring, leaving a deep impression on the audience and becoming famous in one fell swoop.
"Golden Light Avenue" is popular all over the country, and Zhang Guomin has also embarked on the "Golden Light Avenue" of his screen career, successively starring in films such as "Fighting Sharks", "Sari Make", "The Mist of the Goddess Peak", "Dive Net", "Golden Deer", "Xizhao Street", "North Country Red Beans", "Ming Girl", "Gunshots in the Solun Valley", "A Man and a Woman", "Looking for the Devil", "Angry Airport" and other films, becoming one of the most well-known male actors in the 1970s and 1980s.
Zhang Guomin was paired with the most popular actresses at that time, such as Wang Fuli, Liu Xiaoqing, Song Xiaoying, Zhang Yu, Chen Xiaoyi, Leng Mei and others, among which Liu Xiaoqing, who had the most CP feeling with him, cooperated in two films, "Hidden Net" and "North Country Red Beans".
The Queen of True and False Spades aka Shark Fighting
In the 1981 movie "Hidden Net", Chen Zhiping, played by Zhang Guomin, and Luo Xian, played by Liu Xiaoqing, are a pair of lovers of the sports school, Luo Xian is the daughter of a professor, and Luo Xian's parents, who have a deep concept of mendi, look down on Chen Zhiping, who is from a humble background, due to the disparity between the two families and secular pressure, the two finally failed to break through the "submerged net" of life.
Zhang Guomin almost missed the role of Chen Zhiping, because the director Wang Haowei felt that he was too handsome and his eyes were too big, and she looked at Zhang Guomin's photo and said: "No, no, his eyes are too big and too energetic." The Chen Zhiping I am looking for is not so beautiful! Be loyal and honest at first glance. ”
Wang Haowei feels that Chen Zhiping and Luo Xian's family backgrounds are very different, and they are inferior in their bones, and they are an honest and cowardly man, while Zhang Guomin's image is a tough man, not the first choice in her mind.
Wang Haowei looked for a circle and did not find a suitable actor, but finally selected Zhang Guomin to challenge him to the new drama road.
Zhang Guomin has a strong interest in Chen Zhiping as soon as he reads the script, this role has a lot of inner drama, he hopes to create a role with a great contrast between the heart and appearance, and it is also very interesting to play.
Zhang Guomin also designed a lot of life details in his performance to better express Chen Zhiping's depression and inferiority due to the frustration of love.
For example, the first time Chen Zhiping went to Luo Xian's home, he fidgeted in front of Luo Xian's father, Professor Luo, and Zhang Guomin designed Chen Zhiping to pick up a piece of sugar and repeatedly peel off and wrap the sugar paper, which realistically showed Chen Zhiping's embarrassing and helpless psychological state.
In the scene where Chen Zhiping was forced to leave Luo Xian to work at a suburban sports school, and Luo Xian came to visit him, the image created by Zhang Guomin for Chen Zhiping was: a washed sportswear, a hole in his shoulder, wearing sneakers but no socks, no shaving for a few days, a whistle hanging around his neck, his eyes were unfocused, he held the old teaching clip used by the physical education teacher in one hand, and the broken thermos in the other hand, the whole person could not lift his spirits, and suddenly the feeling of being depressed and cowardly came out.
Wang Hao praised him for the director: "National, you have performed Chen Zhiping! ”
Filmed shortly after the reform and opening up, "Submarine Network" reflected the more prominent social problems at that time and resonated with the audience at that time.
In 1982, Zhang Guomin became an actor at the Beijing Film Studio, and together with Shen Guanchu, Huang Xiaolei and Ma Chongle, he was known as the four major students of the Beijing Film Studio.
In 1983, Zhang Guomin and Wang Haowei collaborated on "Xizhao Street", playing wu Haibo, a worker in the film. In order to act like a worker, Zhang Guomin worked the costume again.
Zhang Guomin ran to the construction site to find a worker, his overalls were already very old, he went to greet the worker master: "Master, can you change your clothes for me?" ”
The worker master looked at it: "Yo, this is not a big spring!" Yes, I'll give you this white dress. ”
In "Xizhao Street", Zhang Guomin and Song Xiaoying play a pair, their performance and other actors in the play form a strong contrast, Chen Peisi, Li Ding and other actors' performances are very vivid, the action body language is very rich, and Zhang Guomin and Song Xiaoying's performance is honest and not noisy, the language is very plain, and it has been questioned.
Wang Yang, director of the North Film Factory, said to Wang Haowei after seeing the sample film: "Good for the people, go back and tell the people to work hard, let the people work hard." ”
Wang Haowei relayed Wang Yang's words to Zhang Guomin, and Zhang Guomin's heart sank, and the pressure doubled, but his mouth was not convinced: "I am quite hardworking!" Just look at the final handover! ”
Zhang Guomin carefully pondered and said to Song Xiaoying: "We just can't be in a hurry, don't be anxious when you see other people's plays are particularly lively, the more colorful people are, the more we have to press here, our dramas can't produce that kind of color, that is not the real state of our two characters." We can only walk a faint emotional line, and use this always faint emotional line to suppress the rhythm of the play. ”
Yan Yan, played by Song Xiaoying, has physical problems and deliberately alienates Haibo, played by Zhang Guomin. Haibo didn't mind and said to Yan yan: "I originally thought you went to college, and I was a worker, not worthy of you, now I just want to say: I love you." ”
Yan Yan said: "It's late, I am already seriously ill, I may be old and ugly, I may not be able to have children, and my hair will fall out." ”
Hyperion said, "I don't care. ”
Yan Yan burst into tears, she took out the key to her home and said to Haibo, "This key will be yours in the future." ”
Zhang Guomin and Song Xiaoying have always performed quietly, but they have touched the softest place in people's hearts, and after their last line was finished, Wang Haowei shouted "Stop!" Then he lowered his head to wipe his tears, which was the only time Zhang Guomin saw her shed tears on the set.
When "Sunset Street" was about to end, the whole crew watched the sample film. After the performance, Li Ding said to Zhang Guomin and Song Xiaoying in a loud voice: "Hey, I said, the performance is good!" Without you two, this drama will be turned over! ”
The plays of other actors in the movie are too lively and jumpy, and the performances of Zhang Guomin and Song Xiaoying play a balancing role in the whole play, so that the rhythm of the play is relaxed.
Wang Hao praised him again for the director: "Nationals, you have paid a good job in this volume!" ”
In 1984, Zhang Guomin and Liu Xiaoqing collaborated on Wang Haowei's "North Red Beans". It is said that Zhang Guomin and Wang Haowei have cooperated in two movies and are very familiar with each other, but Zhang Guomin still auditioned and removed other people to get the role.
At that time, the crew only had a single room, Wang Hao let Zhang Guomin live, some people had opinions, Liu Xiaoqing said: "Why don't you let Zhang Guomin live in a single room?" Zhang Guomin is such an actor in the whole country, other types of work can let others take over, but Zhang Guomin can't be replaced by others. Who do you not let him live? ”
After the scene was filmed, Liu Xiaoqing saw the sample film and said to everyone: "In this play, Zhang Guomin is the best, Yu Shaokang is the third best, and I am the second best." ”
Liu Xiaoqing spoke particularly bluntly, and Zhang Guomin said what she thought in her heart and what she said on her lips, and she was a particularly sincere person.
Zhang Guomin and Wang Haowei collaborated on four films, "Hidden Net", "Xizhao Street", "North Country Red Bean" and 1988's "Looking for the Devil", he said: "The director is a very solid, unobtrusive, very calm on the surface, and a very talented director who is a fire on the inside. ”
By the way, Wang Haowei is the daughter of Zhang Nan, the eldest sister of Zhang Ruifang, and Zhang Ruifang is Wang Haowei's second aunt. In addition to the above films, she has also directed films such as "Haixia", "Look at this family", "Charming Band", "Oh, Fragrant Snow" and other films, and has been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director.
Wang Haowei
In the year of "North Country Red Beans", Zhang Guomin and Zhang Yu starred in "Ming Girl". This is a film depicting the life of a blind person, Zhang Guomin plays the male protagonist Zhao Can, who is blinded by an accident, and Ye Mingming, played by Zhang Yu, is a girl who is born blind, encouraging Zhao Can to face life bravely, and the two have feelings. After Zhao Can's eyes were restored, Ye Mingming resolutely cut off the love thread.
Zhang Guomin said: "Director Dong Kena chose me to star, probably because he saw my eyes. ”
This film is quite difficult to shoot, because it is not easy to grasp the living conditions of blind people, Zhang Guomin always compares the living conditions of healthy people, always thinks that he is sympathetic to others, and when he shoots, he can't help but show sympathy for them and jump out of the real sense of the characters.
After Zhang Guomin came into contact with blind people, he felt that blind people are not blind, they can "see" everything, but only through hearing, touch, and smell. He went to the blind family to experience life, and people were very happy at home, with the same happiness as normal people.
In 1985, Zhang Guomin starred in Bayi Factory's "Gunshots in the Solon Valley", playing an instructor.
The director of this film, Jing Mukui, was originally scheduled to be Zhang Guomin when he made "South China Sea Storm", and for some reason he was replaced by Tang Guoqiang, which finally made Zhang Guomin realize his dream of playing a soldier on the screen.
Sun Daolin once said: "Zhang Guomin's eyes can speak." Zhang Guomin's acting skills have been fully utilized in this movie, he designed different eyes to show the different psychological states of the characters, and successfully interpreted the image of an instructor with a pragmatic work style and an enterprising spirit of reform.
In 1985, Zhang Guomin went to the Beijing Film Academy to study in the special training class for acting cadres. Classmates include Guo Kaimin, Jiang Lili, Tang Guoqiang, Kou Zhenhai, Liu Xinyi, Guo Xuxin, Zhao Na, Song Chunli, Song Xiaoying, Wu Yufang, Xiao Xiong, Liang Tongyu, Zhao Yue, Zhao Jing, Li Fengxu, etc., each of which is a big name, which can be described as a veritable "star class".
After Zhang Guomin graduated from the star class, he reduced the frequency of acting because he served as the head of the North Film Actors Troupe, and in the 90s, there were only a few works such as "Mining the Sun", "Police Gate Tiger", "Gale Hall", "Tomorrow Has a Sunny Day", "The Distant Traveler" and so on, which did not make the acting career go to a higher level.
In 2000, Zhang Guomin began to serve as the director of the Art Creation Center of China Film Group Corporation, and slowly turned his main energy to the background. Occasionally appeared on the screen, in "Patching the Heavens", "Provincial Party Secretary", "Coming of Age Ceremony", "Dingjun Mountain", "Wuchang Shouyi" and other films to see his figure.
Although Zhang Guomin faded from the screen, his daughter Zhang Tangyan became the successor of his acting career.
Born in 1978, Zhang Was born in 1978 and was admitted to the Acting Department of the Beijing Film Academy in 1997, where he was in the same class as Haiqing, Huang Haibo and Wen Zhengrong, and the class teacher was Huang Lei.
The audience is no stranger to Zhang Tangyan, she is Zhu Qiqi in "The History of Wulin", Princess Xiangyang chang in "Langya List", Master Kang in "Do You Know If It Should Be Green Fat Red Skinny", and Su Manshu, a strong woman in "The First Half of My Life".
Although Zhang Tangyan did not become popular, he also left a deep impression on the audience, and he was worthy of being the daughter of Zhang Guomin.
Now that Zhang Guomin is 71 years old, when talking about why the films of the 1980s were brilliant, he said: "In addition to the influence of the background of the times and the national environment, the hearts of the filmmakers in that period are the foundation for the achievement of brilliance." ”
Youth can go, youth does not grow old. Although the era that belonged to Zhang Guomin is far away, they have left a brilliant page in the history of Chinese cinema and still remain in the hearts of audiences.
