In the last issue of "Actors Please Take Place", the final answer sheet handed over by director Er Dongsheng was "Stage Sisters 2020", and the sisterhood on and off the stage was moving. In Taiwan nearly 40 years ago, there was also a director Lin Qingjie, who was known as the "godfather of Taiwanese student film", who filmed a sisterhood on and off stage, called "On stage and off stage".
Onstage and offstage
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, on and off stage, interpreting a deep sisterhood in the 1980s</h1>
In the 1980s, a large, dilapidated truck, like a gypsy caravan, carried a black beauty song and dance troupe through small towns in Taiwan, doing tours. The stage is a glamorous dance to satisfy the desires of the stage, and the stage is crowded accommodation and a vacuous future. Here, everyone is like struggling in the mud, and the meaning of living seems to be left to live.

The two sisters, Miyu and Mihui, rely on each other in this song and dance troupe that cannot make ends meet. In order to take care of her sister, Miyu gave up the marriage proposal of the lover of The Green Plum Bamboo Horse. In the song and dance troupe, finally there is a chance to finalize, in order not to dance, in order not to be unspoken rules, in order to attract the attention of the audience, the young and beautiful sisters do not hesitate to perform wrestling in the mud. Although their faces were full of mud, the two people who looked at each other were full of joy...
From the small town to the city, Meiyu, who believes that her sister is talented, will not hesitate to sacrifice herself in exchange for the opportunity to perform by Meihui. Meihui finally became a popular singer, but after witnessing the bitter past of her old friends, Meihui chose to marry a journalist who loved each other, and the rapids retreated. And Miyu, who missed her lover, chose to be alone and left after attending her sister's wedding with a strong smile...
Miyu who left alone
Where there are good years in life, it is just someone who carries the weight for you. In the face of family affection and love, the sister chose affection, the sister chose love, there is no one right and no one wrong, can only say that the sister is lucky enough.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, "Taiwan's new film" will be hidden behind the social stripping away</h1>
"On stage and off stage" was filmed in 1983. A strong sense of reality, distinct social issues, and a strong local atmosphere make the film have a unique style label.
In the 1970s and 1980s, when the average growth rate of the world economy was less than 3%, Taiwan's economy still maintained a growth rate of more than 5%, and at the end of the 1980s, Taiwan's per capita income exceeded 8,000 US dollars, ranking first among the "Four Asian Tigers". You know, during the same period, the per capita income in the mainland region was only $300. However, the rapid development of the economy has caused the overall value of society to be confused between tradition and modernity, coupled with the collapse of the authoritative political structure, and for a while, the connotation of social changes in Taiwan tends to be complicated. Therefore, since 1982, a number of realistic films with distinct styles have been launched one after another, which have been called "Taiwan's new films" by the communication community, becoming the most important film phenomenon in Taiwan during this period. However, the life of "Taiwan New Film" is not long, in 1987, with the rapid changes inside and outside Taiwanese society, "Taiwan New Film" suddenly rose and fell, and the decline of realistic films seems to indicate the stagnation of Taiwan's economy in the later period.
Lin Qingjie was once known as the "godfather of Taiwanese student film", good at shooting student films, and was nominated for the Best Director Award and the Best Film Award at the 18th Golden Horse Awards with "Classmates". "On stage and off stage" is not his masterpiece, but the delicate shooting technique coupled with the true feelings of actors Zhang Xiaoyan and Zhang Aijia shows the impetuousness of contemporary society, undisguised humanity, and the pulse of people behind impetuousness in front of people's eyes.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, a good story will never go out of date, which means that timeless will always be seen and new. </h1>
"On stage and off stage" has no curious plot, no grabbing gimmicks, just like tea and wine telling a neighbor's story, but let the listeners feel infinite emotion.
Before, when "Want to See You" set off a wave of ratings frenzy, I had paid attention to Taiwan drama, and the emergence of "planting theater" made Taiwan drama return to people's vision. Some word-of-mouth Taiwan dramas, like the "New Taiwan Films" of forty years ago, have begun to pursue realism again, taking life as the model and using scripts to deeply touch society.
Good stories never go out of style, and old movies are often watched, not because society stagnates, but because human nature is always connected under the background of society.
Today's film and television has too many choices, but too few good choices. Every fascinating beginning is always accompanied by a scratching mess. Can't tell a story? Or is it that an impetuous society leaves people with no patience to tell a good story?
