【A Thousand Old Filmmakers (453) - Pan Wen Exhibition】
Speaking of the 1952 version of the old movie "Southern Expedition and Northern War" and Feng Zhe, the actor of Gao Yingchang, most middle-aged and elderly friends are deeply impressed. As a black-and-white war film, the film is the first military feature film shot after the founding of New China, filmed by Shanghai Film Studio, directed by Cheng Yin and Tang Xiaodan, starring Chen Ge, Feng Zhe, Tang Huada, Wang Li, Zhong Xinghuo, Zhang Ruifang, Xiang Kun, Bai Mu and so on.
The high battalion commander played by Feng Zhe has courage and strategy, Confucian elegance and heroic martial arts, and the grass-roots military commanders who appear in many later movies have the shadow of "high battalion commander".
So, do you remember the battalion instructor who partnered with the high battalion commander? Who played him? Tell you what, this battalion instructor is played by the famous actor and director Pan Wenzhan.
Pan Wenzhan, born in December 1924 in Renqiu, Hebei Province, joined the revolution in 1938 and successively served as a propaganda officer in the prefectural committee of the third sub-district of Jizhong Province, as well as an actor in the Cultural and Labor Troupe of the North China United University and the Anti-Enemy Drama Society of the Beijing Military Region, and studied in the Drama and Music Department of Lu Xun Art College in Yan'an.
After the founding of The People's Republic of China, Pan Wenzhan became an actor in the Shanghai Film Studio Actors Troupe, during which he successively starred in and participated in the film "Heavy Light of the Earth", the chief of staff in "Cuigang Red Flag", and the instructor in "Southern Expedition and Northern War".
As an actor, Pan Wenzhan's most familiar role is the instructor in "Southern Expedition and Northern War".
As an instructor, doing a good job in the ideological and political work of commanders and fighters is his first duty. In "The Southern Expedition and the Northern War," in the face of difficulties in the battle, he said to Commander Zhang: "Commander Zhang, we are now inserted into the heart of the enemy, and we must make the most difficult plan, we must crucify the enemy here with this nail, and we will never let go of an enemy before the large troops arrive." In the face of the enemy's crazy attack, he mobilized on the battlefield: "Comrades! We must hold our positions, crucify the enemy here, hold out until the last minute, complete our glorious task, meet the large troops, and simply and completely annihilate the enemy. Communists! We should carry forward the party's vanguard role and resolutely repel the enemy's counterattack. Comrades! It's time for meritorious service! ”
In the same way that many actors in "Southern Expedition and Northern War" such as Tang Huada, Chen Ge, Liu Peiran, Sun Yongping, and Tiantian later changed to directors, Pan Wenzhan returned to Shanghai Film and became a film director after studying in the Beijing Film Academy's directing seminar. During his time at the studio, he directed films such as "Three Years", "Tianluodi Network", "Smart Man", "Rising Sun", "Ma Lanhua" and so on.
Especially in 1960, the fairy tale film "Ma Lanhua", which tells the story of the fairy Ma Lang and the industrious and kind Xiaolan, is beautiful, upward, and unforgettable, and the children's song "Ma Lanhua, Ma Lanhua, wind and rain are not afraid, industrious people are talking, please blossom immediately..." The children's song has long been preserved in people's hearts.
In 1963, Pan Wenzhan was transferred to beijing film studio as a director, directing films such as "Red Detachment of Women" (ballet), "Spring", "Su Xiaosan" and so on.
As an actor, Pan Wenzhan did not participate in many works, and mainly supporting roles, but whenever I think of the role he played in the war, "Comrades! We must hold our positions, crucify the enemy here, and persist until the last minute", the generous mobilization order is still boiling with blood; as a director, Pan Wenzhan has left for posterity "Smart Man", "The Rising Sun Rises", "Ma Lanhua", "Red Detachment of Women", "Spring" and other film works, all of which make people often appreciate the charm of art...
If you remember Feng Zhe, the "high battalion commander" in "Southern Expedition and Northern War", then do you remember Pan Wenzhan, the "battalion instructor" who partnered with Feng Zhe?
