People who talk about "devils" professional households now think of Koji Yano, but in the 1970s and 1980s, there was a more powerful "devil" professional household, that is, Fanghua.
Fang Hua, an old drama bone who has acted all his life but refused to see a doctor in his later years, is really worth remembering.
Fang Hua was born in 1925, during the war years, and he was born in Liaoning, which was once colonized, so he could speak Japanese. After the victory of the war, Fang Hua was recommended to be a drama actor because of his tough appearance.
Fang Hua, who came into contact with drama, also gradually fell in love with drama performance, and he gave up the idea of doing business and devoted himself to drama. At the age of 22, Fang Hua was selected by the famous director Jin Shan Ichiya to participate in his film "Songhua River".
In this drama, Fang Hua plays a lustful and evil Japanese, in order to commemorate his first movie, Fang Hua changed his original name and used the stage name of Fang Hua.
In this movie, Fang Hua's bad guy role is so successful that most of the film roles after that are playing bad guys, plus Fang Hua learned Japanese as a child, and more and more similar characters have found him.
In 1948, in "Harbin Night", Fang Hua played the Japanese "devil" for the first time, and his superb acting skills impressed the audience, and Fang Hua was also sent to the Liberated Areas for political study.
Fang Hua's Changchun Film Studio was strong, and in 1955, it undertook the production of "Plain Guerrilla".
Fang Hua was once again entrusted with a heavy responsibility, was assigned to play the Japanese gendarmerie captain Matsui, the directors of the film have experienced real guerrilla warfare, Fang Hua at first the performance of the eyes are not vicious enough, and finally after efforts to interpret Fang Hua to angry, fierce and brutal invasion of China "devil" vividly, so that the audience mistakenly believes that he is really a "devil".
The popularity of this movie also made Fang Hua more famous, and with this role, Fang Hua also won the Best Performance Award for the Film of the Ministry of Culture after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In the era when the big screen was just starting out, Fang Hua even became a "devil" professional on the screen, and the movie "Jia Wu Fengyun" once again played the Japanese officer and soldier Ito Yuheng.
In 1974, after 20 years, Changchun Film Studio decided to remake "Plain Guerrilla", and the director team screened many people in the casting of Matsui's role, and they were not satisfied, and they agreed that no one could break through the square shaping. Therefore, the director team decided to invite Fang Hua to play Matsui again.
This time, Fang Hua still did not disappoint everyone, and the impression of the Japanese "devil" played by him, who was 50 years old at the time, was once again deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if he went to see Fang Hua's acting skills now, the audience was still amazed.
Because Fang Hua has created too many such characters, he is also known as a "devil" professional. Acting like one thing, more to perform that kind of brutality and fierceness, Fang Hua did it.
He dedicated his life to the stage, no matter what role he had, and was considered the best bad guy.
In 1994, Fang Hua died of illness at the age of 69, and just before that, he was invited to star in Jiang Wen's debut film "Sunny Day".
In this movie, Fang Hua plays an old general, although it is only a few minutes, he is very satisfied, after all, he has created so many "devils" image, Fang Hua still wants to play some good people who serve the people.
Fang Hua, who was born in the old society, knows that the new China is not easy to come by and also appreciates this good, and he has nothing to give back, so he does his job as an actor, so when filming, he never picks a role, regardless of the size of the role.
Because in his view, entertainers are more about serving the society, Fang Hua also rooted in his heart the idea of seeking the well-being of the people.
It is precisely because of this sense of service for everyone that during his illness in his later years, he also refused to do meaningless treatment many times, knowing that the Fanghua of his illness regarded life and death as very plain.
Even when he was critically ill, Fang Hua resolutely refused to use good medicine, no matter how his family persuaded, Fang Hua did not listen, he firmly stated that he could not waste medicine.
When he woke up in a coma, Fang Hua would pull out the needle when he saw the fluid he had infused. He felt that he would not be able to do it immediately, and no matter how much treatment he had, it would only be a waste of the country's resources.
Even in the face of death, this old drama bone puts his energy and attention on his family and country. He taught his children to pay attention to harmony, love the country, and make more contributions.
The daughter also once said that although Fang Hua played a Japanese "devil" all his life, he was a really good person.
Fang Hua is worthy of respect, and he has the tenacity and belief of the older generation of entertainers. They have experienced the war, used drama to use the stage to awaken the people, they are concerned about the people's love for the country, never think of themselves as old drama bones, they are indifferent to fame and fortune, and they are reluctant to waste a little thing.
Refusing to heal is also his last wish, and such an old drama bone is also an idol that Jiang Wen sincerely admires. At the beginning of filming, Jiang Wen immediately decided to invite Fang Hua to play the old general and offered a high price, but Fang Hua did not want anything.
Not only that, in his 20s, he devoted himself to the Fanghua of Changchun Film Studio, and also hoped that his children could inherit their careers and become excellent actors.
Although none of his children eventually became actors, his son Fang Zhidan devoted himself to the film and television industry and became a successful producer and director.
Fang Hua encouraged his son to join the army to serve the country, and Fang Zhidan, who had been a literary and artistic soldier, had a strong interest in the film and television industry and resolutely chose the road of north drift. His father, Fang Hua, did not provide him with any help, and Fang Zhidan did not attract attention because of his father's reputation.
When filming the TV series "Scorpion King", it was also the only cooperation between Fang Zhidan and his father Fang Hua, one was a producer, and the other was the main villain in the play.
At that time, although Fang Hua was more than sixty years old, he was still the first one in the crew to arrive. His professionalism also touched his son and made him more diligent and self-disciplined in his future work.
Fang Zhidan grew up watching his father Fang Hua's film works, and also had the dream of growing up to be a drama actor, but contrary to his wishes, he finally engaged in production, and for more than thirty years Fang Zhidan occasionally made cameo roles or served as directors.
He was also invited to play Matsui in "Movie Legend", and fulfilled his childhood dream in his forties, interpreting the classic role of his father Fanghua.
Fang Zhidan is still low-key and hard-working in the film and television industry, and his TV series "The Gate of the Big House" as a producer and director Guo Baochang has created the peak of China's film and television industry, and has achieved high ratings and high reputation.
In addition, because Fang Zhidan also formed a deep friendship with Jiang Wen when accompanying his father to shoot "Sunny Day", the two have joined forces many times in subsequent works.
"Let the Bullets Fly" Fang Zhidan not only served as the production director but also the assistant director of the crew, assisting Jiang Wen in filming and scheduling.
In the end, this very profound satirical film achieved a high box office of more than 600 million, and was also nominated for the Hong Kong Academy Awards, becoming the box office champion of the year.
Since then, Fang Zhidan has also cooperated with Jiang Wen in "One Step Away", and has also achieved a good reputation. As a producer, Fang Zhidan knows that film shooting is not easy, but he is also deeply influenced by his father, loves the film and television industry, loves movies, and becomes an excellent production director and an excellent film director if he can't become an actor.
Today, Fang Zhidan is still shining in the industry, creating more high-quality works for the audience, making his father Fang Hua feel proud and proud of him.
The Si people have passed away, and few people today remember that when watching the anti-Japanese drama, there was a well-known "devil" professional household in the last century.
His interpretation of the Japanese soldier is the closest to history and reality, and his interpretation is superior in every era.
It is such an old drama bone who is simple and always thinks about the country, which is worth remembering. Under his education, his son also made a difference and became a good producer.
Tiger Father without Dogs, Fang Hua and Fang Zhidan let us see the persistence and efforts of two generations of filmmakers, and see a group of silently dedicated cultivators.
Don't pay too much attention, work hard to do your own work, be worthy of the people's audience, love the country and the family, dedicate your youth, and have no regrets in life.
