In 1959, after the filming of the last episode of "The Young People in Our Village" was completed and released, it caused great repercussions in society. So the long film studio decided to take advantage of the east wind to shoot the sequel. The previous episode tells how the young people of Kongjiazhuang split the mountains and divert water, and the sequel shows how these ambitious young people built a hydropower station and changed the backward appearance of their hometown step by step.
The sequel to "The Young Man in Our Village" was originally scheduled to be filmed and released in 1960, but I didn't expect that the film would be shot for three years, and the filming was stopped several times in the middle. It wasn't until 1963 that the film was finally finished. So what you see, the actors in this movie, one moment thin, one moment fat, is this reason.
But no matter how the film was filmed and released, it still gained a good reputation and rave reviews.
I think there are three main reasons for this.
One is the success of the previous episode of "The Young Man in Our Village", which made an excellent promotion and preparation for the release of the sequel.
The other is that the main creative team is still unchanged. It is still Ma Feng as the screenwriter, Suri as the director, and the team of directors who join yin Yiqing, a combination of elite soldiers and strong generals, which is the key to the birth of a good movie.
The other is the actor. The wonderful performances of the actors add a lot to the film. To this day, whenever I hear the song "People Say Shanxi Has Good Scenery", I always see Jindi, Li Yalin, Liang Yin, Liu Zengqing and others in "Young People in Our Village".
At the end of the day, 58 years have passed since the release of the sequel to the movie "The Young Man in Our Village".
58 years, enough to make a baby into an old man.
Each of us has gone through too many ups and downs and has had more transformations.
The actors in "The Young Man in Our Village" are the same.
Yesterday, through a talk show, I saw the scene of the actors of "The Young People in Our Village" reuniting.
Somehow, there are some miscellaneous tastes in my heart. Half happy, half sour.
Happily, the actresses gathered on the stage talked and laughed and had a joyful scene.
The sour feeling is that too many of the actors in "The Young Man in Our Village" have passed away one after another, and they can never return to the stage, meet their former colleagues and friends, and can no longer appear in front of us.
When I revisited the film "The Young Man in Our Village" again, I was surprised to find that most of the male protagonists in the film were all gone. The names that appear on the cast list are now only one male actor alive.
As for the actresses, only 3 are still alive.
At this party, what appeared in front of us was Jindi, who played the heroine Kong Shuzhen, and Yang Xingyuan, who played the supporting actress Xiaolan.
Both of them were like flowers and jade in the past, and now they are both elderly people.
Jindi is 88 years old and Yang Xingyuan is 80 years old.
The two were extremely happy to see each other. Especially Yang Xingyuan, as soon as she saw her "sister" Jindi, she opened the conversation box. The way the eyebrows flew and danced, it seemed that they had suddenly returned to that year.
At that time, Yang Xingyuan had just turned 19 years old, was an actor in the Shanxi Repertory Theatre, and had never thought of making movies. But she is very familiar with Jindi in "The Young Man in Our Village", because she watched the movie several times and felt that Kong Shuzhen, played by Jindi, was very good and beautiful, so she secretly regarded this "sister" as an idol in her heart.
She didn't expect that she would one day become a colleague with this "star sister" and still be able to live together.
In 1962, the crew of the sequel to "The Young People in Our Village" came to Shanxi to select actors, and Yang Xingyuan was one of the alternative actors. According to her recollection, there were also many actresses competing for the role of Xiaolan at that time, but somehow the director chose her in the end.
I think the main reason is that she is similar in age to Xiaolan, and the other is that her temperament meets Xiaolan's requirements after all. There is also her image, standing with Sun Yu, who plays the second dog, and the two seem to be very harmonious.
Because Xiaolan and the second dog are "a couple" in the film.
Yang Xingyuan is a drama actress, and she feels very unfamiliar with the performance in front of the camera, and Jindi, Li Yalin and others teach her very carefully. It makes her better. Although Xiaolan's role is not much, her preparation work is very sufficient and serious. At that time, in order to better shape the characters and make the relationship between the characters more real and credible, director Suri suggested that actors who play "a couple" should also cultivate more feelings in life.
Since Xiaolan and the second dog are a couple, yang Xingyuan and Sun Yu should communicate more. However, Sun Yu was a particularly shy person. Although he became a star at the age of 16 by starring in Liu Haiquan in "Iron Warrior", he was introverted and not good at words in life. Especially in front of the girl, she would blush as soon as she spoke.
At that time, Sun Yu was also single, and the good brothers of the same crew, Li Yalin and Liang Yin, all felt that they could just get together with the "Xiaolan" in the play. So he tried his best to match him and Yang Xingyuan together. As a result, the two of them are really getting better.
Yang Xingyuan talked about the scene when filming the sequel to "Young People in Our Village", and her face was always glowing red. However, when the group photo of her and Sun Yu appeared on the big screen, her eyes immediately turned red.
The two became acquainted with the movie "Young People in Our Village", and then married and formed a family, and walked together for 52 years of inseparable love until February 19, 2014, Sun Yu died.
Sun Yu is an actor, but after filming the sequel to "The Young People in Our Village", he changed his career to become a director, and made excellent films such as "Golden Light Avenue", "Flowers Blossom and Fall", "Green Wallet", "Middle-aged People", "There is a Blizzard Tonight", which has made great contributions to the Chinese film industry.
As good as Sun Yu are Li Yalin, who plays Gao Zhanwu, Liang Yin, who plays Cao Maolin, Liu Zengqing, who plays Li Keming, Zhang Yan, who plays the old president, Ren Yi, who plays Secretary Zhao, Ma Biao, who plays Kong Yinyang, Li Xida who plays Xiaoliang, Ren Weimin who plays Liu Accountant, Pu Ke who plays Lao Zhou, and Wen Xianglin who plays Erhu. But they're all dead.
Now the surviving male actors are only Left liu Tongyan, who plays He Changyou.
He is also 81 years old this year.
In 1959, Liu Tongyan was admitted to the actor training class of the Actors Troupe of the Long Film Studio, and subsequently became an actor of the Long Film Studio. He has played roles in films such as "Wanmu Spring", "Ten Levels of Waves", "Heroes and Children", "Iron Giant", "Sunny Days", "Yellow River Boy" and so on. What impressed us more deeply should be the guard in "Heroes and Children" and Xu Zhaosheng in "Yellow River Boy", right?
He later became a director, and in 1999 was also named a national first-class director, and participated in the production of many film and television works. Now the old man is in Changchun and enjoys his old age in peace.
The actresses in "The Young Man in Our Village" are now only 3 left. They are Yang Xingyuan, Jin Di and Lu Guilan.
Kindi became popular because she starred in kong Shuzhen in the episode "The Young Man in Our Village", but when filming the sequel, she was almost replaced. Because she had just given birth to a child at that time, she was extremely thin, so the leader of the long film studio suggested that she change to another actress. But director Suri insisted on using Kindi. In this way, Jindi is still playing Kong Shuzhen in the sequel. But she also received an order to make herself "fat" in a short period of time.
But how easy is it? It was a three-year period of natural disasters, and the people of the whole country were in a state of starvation, even Jindi, who had become a movie star. So she had to stuff cotton in her mouth and add clothes to her coat when filming, so as to make herself look more "spiritual".
Jindi became one of the "22 Stars" in 1962 for his success as Kong Shuzhen in "The Young Man in Our Village". But after acting in the sequel to "The Young Man in Our Village", she did not get a better chance to develop. After that, she basically did not play any influential roles, and even had few opportunities to play the main role. She transferred from Changying Studio to Eying Studio in the mid-1970s, but the situation did not change much, so she had to write and direct herself in 1982 to perform "Wild Geese Flying North" to prove her ability, but unfortunately the effect after the release was not ideal.
After that, Jindi went to Shenzhen and became a director, directing some TV series and literary evenings. A lifetime can also be said to be quite bumpy. Fortunately, she is optimistic and always maintains a happy mood, so at the age of 88, she is still radiant, especially a pair of beautiful eyes, still so bright and energetic. The only regret is that the legs and feet are inconvenient, can only sit in a wheelchair, other aspects, are very healthy.
Lu Guilan starred in the sequel to "The Young Man in Our Village" as a new character, Feng Qiaoying, which also left a deep impression on us. At that time, Lu Guilan was also the Hua Dan of the Long Film Studio, and she had a very good performance in "Ice Sisters". Therefore, many resources of the long film studio are tilted towards her.
After starring in "The Young People in Our Village", she starred in films such as "Express Train", and then transferred to the North Film Studio in the 1970s, and starred in "Female Traffic Officer", "Newsboy", "Four Little Friends", "Xu Mao and His Daughters", "Xizhao Street" and other films. After retirement, he rarely appears in public again. She is now 80 years old.
In addition to Yang Xingyuan, Jin Di and Lu Guilan, the actresses who played the role in "The Young People in Our Village" also said goodbye to us, they are - Yang Huan and Song Xuejuan (sequel) who play Xiaocui, Li Xiaogong who plays fat sister-in-law, Wang Jianhua who plays Aunt Kong, Zhuang Yan who plays Aunt Cao, etc. Let us pay tribute to them.
"Cherries are delicious and trees are difficult to plant...", "People say that Shanxi has good scenery, the land is fertile and the water is beautiful and fragrant..." Now that 58 years have passed, these two beautiful songs still ring in our ears, and the faces of those old actors continue to flash in front of our eyes. An excellent literary and artistic work has such a charm that makes us unforgettable, makes us gush endlessly every time we talk about it, and has a lot of feelings. So dear friends, do you remember this "Young People in Our Village"? You were young back then, right? Welcome to communicate with more netizens through the message area.
