People born in the 1950s and 1960s loved to watch the most popular movies when they were children, such as "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Plain Guerrilla", "Heroic Children", "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare" and so on. Among them, the most grand scene is undoubtedly "Southern Expedition and Northern War". Tanks, artillery, cavalry, rush marches, preemptive mountain peaks, large troops charging, etc., one after another scenes made the children at that time unforgettable.
This article is about the "Southern Expedition and Northern War". In fact, there are two versions of the film, one is the black-and-white version of the Shanghai Film Studio in 1952, and the other is the color version of the Beijing Film Studio in 1974, and the real impact is the previous one. This is the first war film filmed after the founding of New China, and the film is based on several real combat examples that took place in the battlefields of Shandong and northern Jiangsu during the Liberation War, showing the story of the People's Liberation Army in destroying the enemy and achieving victory under the situation that the enemy is strong and we are weak.
"Southern Expedition and Northern War" is co-directed by Cheng Yin and Tang Xiaodan, starring Chen Ge, Feng Zhe, Tang Huada and so on. The film was unprecedented at that time in terms of war scenes, shooting scale, storyline, etc., and left a brilliant page in the history of Chinese cinema, which can be called a war epic.
The joining of many stars has made this film an unforgettable classic in the minds of the audience. For example, Chen Ge played the commander of our army, Tang Huada played the political commissar of the division, Feng Zhe played the role of Gao Yingchang, Zhong Xinghuo played Liu Yonggui, Sun Daolin played the commander of our army, and Xiang Kun played the enemy Commander Zhang.
In fact, in every movie, there are positive characters and negative characters. And sometimes, a successful villain is more memorable than a positive character, such as in the classic old movies, Hu Hansan, Huang Shiren, Nan Batian, Zashan Eagle and so on.
This article is not about a positive person, but a negative person. And this negative character is not as well-known as Fang Hua, Ge Cunzhuang, Liu Jiang, and the statement, but it is almost nameless, but one of his lines in the movie is like "I Hu Hansan is back again" in "The Shining Red Star", which is unforgettable, that is, the sentence of Li Junchang in "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Commander Zhang Jun, please look at the party-state, quickly reach out and pull the brothers!" ”
In the film, the actor who plays Li Junchang is called Yang Hua. The prototype of the character of Li Junchang is said to be Li Xianzhou, the deputy commander of the Second Appeasement District of the Nationalist Army.
Nowadays, when it comes to Yang Hua, almost everyone is confused and has basically no impression of this actor. But he is an actor in the Shanghai Film Studio, not only in "Southern Expedition and Northern War", but also in "Qiao Laoye Shangpao", "Nie Er", "Lin Zexu" and other films.
Yang Hua, born in February 1915, formerly known as Guo Shouting, a native of Tianjin, graduated from Tianjin Municipal Normal School in 1933 and studied at the first acting department of Nanjing National Drama School in 1935. After graduating in 1937, he engaged in stage performances. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he successively played roles in dozens of dramas such as "Sunrise", "Thunderstorm", "Night Shanghai", "Rejuvenation of the Earth", and "Qu Yuan". After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the filming of films such as "Homecoming Diary", "Crazy Man and Complaining Woman", and "Deserted Garden".
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as an actor in a film studio. He participated in the filming of films such as "Unite to Tomorrow", "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Song Jingshi", "Mother", "Home", "City That Never Sleeps", "Red Seed", "Old Master Qiao Shangshang", "Lin Zexu", "Nie Er", "Soldier Station No. 51" and some drama performances.
However, because Yang Hua mainly plays a negative role, in terms of fame, it is naturally not as big as Stars such as Zhao Dan, Sun Daolin, and Feng Zhe, and it is logical that it cannot attract the attention of movie fans. However, Yang Hua's acting level is not low, as long as he has seen his performance, he has given a thumbs up for his wonderful acting skills, he is good at expressing the character characteristics and inner psychology of the characters, even if there is only a short shot, he will also be portrayed with a fascinating performance.
In the movie, Yang Hua's scenes are actually only two. One is in the enemy's conference room, he and Xiang Kun played the enemy Zhang Junchang and other people to discuss the battle plan, he was ridiculed by Zhang Junchang, that helpless and unwilling expression, that tongue-in-cheek embarrassing look, although there is no line, the performance is very in place.
The other scene is the most famous. That is, under the powerful offensive of our army, the enemy could not form an army, and Commander Li sent a distress signal to Commander Zhang, so there was the most classic line: "Commander Zhang, please look at the party-state, quickly stretch out your hand to pull the brothers!" "Every time a movie is screened, there's a lot of laughter in the theater.
Yang Hua vividly interpreted the anxious mood of the enemy Li Junchang who was not willing to fail. It can be said that real art has a strong vitality, even if there is only one shot, one line...
From the appearance point of view, Yang Hua is a tall, thin, handsome actor, but somehow he always plays the villain. He has a wide range of interests, loves music, plays the violin, and speaks fluent English. In addition, he has a wide range of plays and a unique voice, and has also done dubbing work for translation and production of "Great Power", "Ukrainian Poet Shevchenko", "Anna Karenina" and so on.
On October 14, 1978, Yang Hua died of lung failure in Shanghai at the age of 63.
Yang Hua's wife, ren Qinglian, used to work in the Shanghai Ke Film Studio. The couple has two daughters and a son, named Yang Xiaolian, Yang Erlian and Yang Xiaohua respectively.
Mr. Yanghua is ancient!
