"Open your memories and relive the classics." Today, I recommend a good old movie to you - "Haixia".
In the summer of 1972, Xie Tieli, the director of the North Film Studio, wanted to make a feature film after filming the modern Peking Opera movie "Ode to Longjiang". At this time, his youngest daughter handed him a novel, that is, "Island Female Militia" written by army writer Li Ruqing. After Xie Tieli read it, he liked it very much, so he began to adapt it and set the name of the movie as "Haixia".
After the script came out, Xie Tieli began to form the main creative team of the movie "Haixia". The first person to be determined was his old partner Qian Jiang, and then the young Wang Haowei was also selected. At the same time, because "Haixia" tells the story of a group of female militiamen, many young actresses are chosen to play. However, at that time, the cast of the North Film Studio was not sound, so they launched a nationwide campaign to "find female militia". As a result, Li Xiuming and other actors were left in the factory for training.
In August 1972, the film crew of "Haixia" first went to Wenzhou, then to Fujian, Guangdong and other places to choose a location shooting location. At that time, they were full of ambition, happy that a good movie was about to be born.
However, when they returned to the North Film Studio, Xie Tieli received a notice to report to the crew of the modern Peking Opera movie "Harbor". In desperation, Xie Tieli had to hand over the burden of filming "Haixia" to other directors. In the end, Qian Jiang, Chen Huaigao, and Wang Haowei jointly served as the director of the film.
Speaking of the release of the movie "Haixia", it was really a twist and turn, but fortunately, it was finally met with the audience in 1975. After the release of the film, the praise was overwhelming.
Through telling the suffering and growth process of the female militiaman Haixia, this film shows the process of fighting against feudal fishermen and enemies before and after the liberation of Tongxin Island. The film's cinematography (Qian Jiang's camera), editing, etc. represent the highest artistic level of Chinese cinema. The narrative method of the director's perspective is also rare in domestic films.
The film integrates the image of a group of spirited female militiamen at the beginning of liberation into the beautiful island scenery, which is very distinctive and has a deep sense of the times.
And the performances of the actors have left a deep impression on everyone.
Until now, people still talk about this old movie.
For this movie, every main creative staff, including Xie Tieli, has paid great efforts. The choice of actors was also done under the personal supervision of Xie Tieli. In April 1973, the cast of "Haixia" was formed, they selected Wang Suya, a drama actress from Yunnan, and Zhang Liwei was selected at a food store in Qianmen, Beijing, and Hong Xuemin, who had just been admitted to the Nanjing Academy of arts, used his vacation to play at his aunt's house working in Beijing Qingyi, and was also favored by Qian Jiang.
The female number one in the film was originally set to be Li Xiuming, a young actor of Tianjin Renyi, but at that time, she happened to play a role in the Tianjin Renyi drama, and she could not be born, so she had to choose someone else. At this time, Xie Jin recommended To Xie Tieli Wu Haiyan, who sang Peking Opera in the Peking Opera Troupe of Fujian Province. When communicating with Wu Haiyan, Xie Tieli was surprised to find that this girl was actually the daughter of his old comrade-in-arms, so he gave her the task of playing Haixia.
Some other roles, such as Fang Instructor, Grandpa Wangfa and villain Liu Atai, are all handed over to the old drama bones of the North Film Studio to play.
After the release of the movie "Haixia", except for the performance of Wu Haiyan, the actress Haixia, who played the role of The Heroine, was controversial, the performance of other actors was unanimously recognized by everyone. And people like Cai Ming, Zhang Liwei, Hong Xuemin, etc. are also well known to the majority of audiences through this film. So, now that 45 years have passed, what is the current situation of the actors who starred in "Haixia"? How have they changed? Today, let's revisit and review together through the form of comparisons between the past and the present.
From this, we can see that Wu Haiyan, Cai Ming, Zhang Liwei, Hong Xuemin, Wang Suya, these 5 former beauty stars are old, and many old drama bones have passed away.
Cai Ming plays Xiao Haixia
Cai Ming was only 12 years old when he played Xiao Haixia. But her performance is very natural and simple, and there is no trace of acting. What is particularly rare is that she can express the heart of the character through her eyes. Truth be told, this is not something that every child can do. I think it is probably because of Cai Ming's outstanding performance in the film that she was soon recruited into the North Film Studio and became a professional film actress.
Cai Ming participated in a lot of movies that year, such as "Horn Stone", "Handcuffed Passenger", "Peacock Princess" and so on. But because it is a supporting role, it is not as impressive as Xiao Haixia. However, later she went farther and farther down the road of comedy, and stood out in "I Love My Home" and a series of Spring Festival Gala sketches, becoming the most familiar "sketch queen" for the audience. Now Cai Ming is 59 years old, and the little Haixia of that year is now old.
Wu Haiyan plays Dahai Xia
Because Wu Haiyan is an opera actor, when filming movies, it is inevitable that there will be some stylized things. This is probably the most headache for the director. But she is dignified, beautiful and healthy. Therefore, when watching this movie, everyone was attracted by her natural appearance, but they did not care much about her performance.
After acting in "Haixia", Wu Haiyan quickly became an actor in the studio, and her performances in many old movies such as "Waiting for the Red Leaves of the Mountains" and "The Prosecutor" are still fresh in everyone's memory. Now that she is 66 years old, she certainly has many changes compared to the heroic Dahai Xia, but that Juan Xiu is still there. Relatively speaking, I think Cai Ming has changed a little more than her. Now Wu Haiyan will appear more time in some opera evenings to sing Peking Opera for everyone, but there are also boards and eyes.
Zhang Liwei plays the color bead
Zhang Liwei was actually selected to be a member of "Haixia" because of his "beautiful looks". Her fate was changed as a result. After starring in Caizhu, Zhang Liwei also became a member of the North Film Studio, and soon became the head of Hua Dan, successively playing the heroine in movies such as "Spring Rain Xiaoxiao", "Yanming Lakeside", "The Mystery of R4", "Hunting Word 99", "Oriental Sword" and so on.
I think she is a promising actress, and her beauty at that time did not know how many young people's hearts touched. Unfortunately, after starring in the TV series "Heroes Without Regrets", she chose to retreat into the background. Now she is 66 years old and lives a quiet life without being disturbed.
Hong Xuemin plays Yu Xiu
When Hong Xuemin was selected by the "Haixia" crew, he was not very old, only 15 years old, only 3 years older than Cai Ming. So we see the Yuxiu she plays in "Haixia", which is actually childish. But her understanding is also very high, and under the inspiration of the director, she entered the scene quickly. Coupled with her natural beauty, many old actors like her very much. After filming "Haixia", the North Film Studio and the Bayi Factory both wanted to recruit her, and eventually Tian Hua recruited her into the Bayi Factory. And her performance in movies such as "South Sea Storm" is also very outstanding.
In the 1980s, Hong Xuemin became a "golden supporting role" on the screen, and although she played the first protagonist in films such as "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", "Love of the Sea", and "Xiyingmen", she left a very deep impression. In 1987, she submitted an application to bayi factory for a transfer of service, and then went to Hong Kong to start business. Business also has ups and downs, and it is difficult to say a word. Now she is 62 years old and old.
Wang Suya plays Ah Hong's sister-in-law
Personally, I like Wang Suya's performance in "Haixia", the character of the character is very well reflected, and the sister-in-law of Ah Hong who is portrayed has also left a very deep impression on us. I think this is directly related to her previous participation in films such as "Five Golden Flowers" and "Youth in the Fire", and her acting experience is relatively rich.
Later, we saw her roles in movies such as "Breakup", "July Flowing Fire", "Bright Moon on the Sea", "Postal Edge" and so on, which came to life. In 1984, she began to serve as the director of Yunnan National Film Studio, and later served as the director of the Film Department of the Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture, and made many films. Now she is 82 years old, a little fatter than before, but in a good mental state.
Feng Eun-ho plays Ah Hong
Feng Enhe was a very good actor, and he was also very handsome when he was young, which was very in line with the requirements of the "image of workers, peasants and soldiers" at that time. But at that time, he did not participate in many movies, and Ah Hong in "Haixia" was one of them, and the way he fought with Ah Hong's sister-in-law was unforgettable.
Feng Enhe suddenly became popular after starring in the TV series "Latent". The Wu station manager he played made more audiences realize how strong the performance strength of an old drama bone really is. Since then, he has acted in many popular dramas such as "Warring States", "Legend of the Wind", "The Story of the New Wulong Mountain Bandits", "Our Life is Sweeter than Honey", "Sparrow Spring", "Old Tavern" and so on, shaping a variety of characters and acting like what. Now he is 72 years old (I didn't expect him to be 10 years younger than Wang Suya), and as a national first-class actor, he is still active in front of the film and television camera.
Zhao Lian plays The Fang Instructor
Zhao Lian is also an old actor I love very much, and I have always appreciated his performance since he participated in the old movies "Tiger's Den Tracking", "National Day Ten O'Clock", "Summer Story", "Shanghai Girl", "Red Flag Spectrum" and so on. I think he's not only handsome, but he's also very self-absorbed in front of the camera, and every time he plays a new role, it's like a rebirth.
In "Haixia", Zhao Lian plays the role of Fang Instructor, who is so amiable and unforgettable. Although he was no longer young and much fatter by this time, I would not be superficial enough to appreciate a man who only cared about his appearance. In addition, he has also starred in movies such as "After the Big River Rushes" and "After the Blu-ray Flashes", but he died in December 1990 at the age of 59, which is very regrettable.
Chen Qiang plays Grandpa Wangfa
Chen Qiang was the head of the actor troupe of the North Film Studio at that time, and played the grandfather of Lao Zhijian in "Haixia", with not many roles, but the performance was mature and steady, and it also played an exemplary role for young actors. He is arguably one of the most familiar screen faces for Chinese audiences, and has portrayed the image of the elderly in many movies. He actually plays more positive characters than negative characters, but because his roles in "White Haired Girl" and "Red Detachment of Women" Huang Shiren and Nan Batian are too classic, everyone habitually classifies him as a villain actor.
On June 26, 2012, Chen Qiang passed away, he dedicated his life to the film industry, is a respected old artist.
Yan Zenghe plays Shuanghe Shu
Yan Zenghe is also an old drama bone of Beiying, participating in films such as "People in the Mountains", "Children's Relatives", "Zhao Xiaolan", "Storm" and other movies, and his performances are simple and natural. In "Haixia", the shuanghe uncle he played was also very vivid. However, he also died very early, and in the 1979 film "Willow Dark Flowers" shot by the North Film Studio, his name on the actor's subtitle list has been black boxed. That is to say, when "Willow Dark Flowers" was released, he had already left this world.
Yu Shaokang plays Liu Atai
Liu Atai in "Haixia" is one of the villains that children love to imitate at that time. Everyone likes to learn from him, limping and saying"Sister, I'm your brother Ah Tai", and then laughing. The reason why this role impressed the children, I think the most important thing is that the actor Yu Shaokang played it too well, it can be said that it is three points into the wood.
Later, I saw the role of his grandfather in the movie "Xiyingmen", which was almost like two people, without looking at the subtitle table, I didn't know that the two roles were played by the same actor. Yu Shaokang is also one of the old drama bones of the North Film Studio, and has performed well in movies such as "The Great Wild Man", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and "Xizhao Street". He also died on 3 May 1994 at the age of 69.
Li Lin plays Chen Zhan'ao
Relatively speaking, everyone may be more familiar with the role of the traitor Ma Jiahui played by Li Lin in the old movie "Daughter of the Party". And the villain Chen Zhan'ao in the movie "Haixia" is another classic character image he has created. He began to make movies very early and became an actor in the North Film Studio after the founding of New China. He has participated in many movies such as "Iron Warrior", "Tiger's Den Tracking", "Lin Family Shop", "Scout", "Peacock Princess" and so on. In July 1992, Li Lin died at the age of 72.
"The big seashore, the beach, the wind rustles the banyan trees, the fisherman girl is on the seashore, weaving the fishing net, weaving the fishing net..." The beautiful song sounded in our ears again, and I believe that everyone must have seen the scene of Haixia and other female militiamen standing guard and patrolling the reef on the seashore again, right?
This movie, Douban score of 6.7 points, is a very good movie of that era. Now that 45 years have passed, do you remember this movie and the actors in it? Whose performance impressed everyone more?
