【A Thousand Old Filmmakers Traces (400)——Wang Longji】
Like "Gazi" and "Dongzi", "Sanmao" is a classic child image in the history of Chinese cinema. This image originated from the cartoon "Sanmao Wanderer" created by Zhang Leping, an outstanding Chinese cartoonist in the 1940s, a "comic child" with a sad life, a poor life, repeated bullying, and poverty with only three hairs left.
The manga began to be serialized in the Shanghai Ta Kung Pao on June 15, 1947, and soon had a strong social repercussion that year, so the comic won the favor of film production companies.
In this way, "The Wanderings of Sanmao" was made into a movie by Shanghai Kunlun Film Company. The film shows the unfortunate fate of the vast number of urban street children in the old society through the various encounters of orphan Sanmao in old Shanghai, directed by Zhao Ming and Yan Gong, and written by Yang Hansheng, and was released nationwide in October 1949.
Among them, Wang Longji, who was only 8 years old at the time, successfully created the artistic image of "Sanmao", as a wandering child, he was clever and clever, upright and stubborn, although he had no food and clothing, he did not covet wealth and nobility, and he did not succumb to the evil forces, which made people admire.
June 13 is Wang Longji's 81st birthday, and hereby, Entertainment and Entertainment wishes Mr. Wang Longji a happy birthday!
Wang Longji, born on June 13, 1940 in Sichuan, his father is the famous musician Wang Yunjie, whose film representative works include "The Wanderings of Sanmao", "Cuigang Red Flag", "Gate Six", "Nurse's Diary", "City That Never Sleeps", "Lin Zexu", "Flying Daohua", "Ao Lei Yilan", "Love of the Sea", etc. He was the director of the Shanghai Orchestra and the president of the China Film and Music Society. Her mother, Li Qinghui, worked as a music editor at the Shanghai Film Translation Studio.
In fact, before starring in "Sanmao Wanderer", Wang Longji was a child star. In his childhood, he participated in many films such as "Sunny Days", "New Grievances", "Mother", "Unstoppable Spring Light" and so on.
Wang Longji's really famous role is "Sanmao". At that time, the person in charge of finding actors was Yan Gong, one of the directors. Once, in the courtyard of the Kunlun Film Company, he saw three children playing marbles, and there was an argument. Yan Gong felt that the youngest child was very stubborn, and then looked at the appearance, the head was big and the neck was thin, wasn't this the "three hairs" that had not landed for a long time? The youngest child is Wang Longji.
In the film, Wang Longji is the protagonist, but the dragon sets who play him are mostly big stars, such as Zhao Dan, Shangguan Yunzhu, Sun Daolin, Wei Heling, Qi Mengshi, Huang Zongying and so on.
However, the young Wang Longji is also very "fighting", before filming, he followed the director to the Suzhou River, and with the little beggars to sweep the street, grab food, move the car, sleep; during the filming process, he has been walking barefoot like Sanmao. Sanmao's round nose is made of bubble gum, and the three hairs on the head are attached to the bald head with three copper wires stuck to the plush.
After that, Wang Longji did not participate in many works, mainly such as "Two Springs" released in 1951, he played the male protagonist Xiao Yong; in the 1953 release of "Blessings for the Children", he played the male protagonist Zhang Huaguo, and so on.
In 1960, at the age of 20, Wang Longji was admitted to the Film and Literature Department of the Shanghai Film College, and after graduating in 1963, he was assigned to the Cultural and Labor Troupe of the Political Department of the Fuzhou Military Region as a creative member, and has never participated in filmmaking since.
In 1969, Wang Longji transferred to Shanghai Radio No. 20 Factory, successively serving as a worker, team leader, workshop dispatcher, workshop deputy director, director, deputy director, etc., during which a number of innovations were carried out, and china's first self-designed and manufactured printed circuit board production line was built.
That is to say, Wang Longji became an enterprise science and technology expert after becoming an adult, and served as the secretary general of the China Printed Circuit Industry Association.
Wang Longji also founded the magazine "Printed Circuit Information", a state-level professional journal approved by the State Information Administration, and served as its president and executive deputy editor-in-chief. In 2001, he was awarded the title of "Love Ambassador" by Shanghai Women's Federation and UNICEF.
