There is a play in the back.
Shang Guanyunzhu, formerly known as Wei Junti, was born in Jiangyin, Jiangsu. She loved Peking Opera since she was a child. At the age of 18, she moved to Shanghai with her family and worked in He Photo Studio to make a living. As a result, she had frequent contact with people in the film and television circle and became interested in performing.
Shang Guanyunzhu was admitted to Huaguang Theatre Academy on 1940 to study drama, and then joined the actor training class of Xinhua Film Company. 194 1 year, she filmed her debut "Rose Waterfall" in Yihua Film Company. Later, he participated in the performances of such popular literary films as Beautiful Country, Tears of Acacia, Beautiful Moon and Tears of Yuanyang, and began to make his mark in the film industry.
How did the name Shang Guanyunzhu come from? Shi Chuan, vice chairman of Shanghai Film Association and professor of Shanghai Theatre Academy, said that popular film actors took stage names at that time. When Wancang Bu, a famous director, asked her to shoot "The Tiger King Snatches the Kiss", she felt that her original name was not loud enough, so she changed it to Shang Guanyunzhu. The surname "Shangguan" is because there was a star named Shangguan Waner at that time.
Shang Guanyunzhu's study experience in art school played a decisive role in her acting career, where she met many film predecessors and made many peers. At that time, many celebrities and big-name directors in the entertainment circle taught here. The famous director Xie Jin also studied in this school, and Shang Guanyunzhu and he met at that time.
When filming "stage sisters", everyone was discussing who would play Shang. Xie Jin looked at the script and said, "This is Shang Guanyunzhu." However, it is not the protagonist of the film, and Xie Jin was once worried that such a big star despises such a small role. On one occasion, Xie Jin met Shang Guanyunzhu in the studio and told her about it a little embarrassedly. After listening to Xie Jin's oral description of the role, Shang Guanyunzhu immediately said, "I'll pick it up." She hadn't read the script at that time. In stage sisters, Shang Guanyunzhu has only a few short scenes, but it has become a classic in film history.
"I once asked Director Xie Jin how to evaluate Shang Guanyunzhu's performance. He said,' Shangguan can make a scene without giving her a positive shot in a movie.' Ishikawa remembers that in stage sisters, Shang Huashui turned his back on the audience when he appeared, quietly watching the two sisters make up, but from behind, he could feel the status of the characters.
Qin Yi once commented on Shang Guanyunzhu's performing arts. "She often ponders a lot and works hard in places like a look, a turn, and a sentence or two."
Shang Guanyunzhu is a bright pearl in the film history of China. Xie Jin once said, "She has acted in so many films, and it is an honor and opportunity to cooperate with Cai Chusheng, Zheng, Shen Fu, Huang and Sang Hu, the best directors in modern China."
Huang Zongjiang thinks, "The most remarkable thing about her (Shang Guanyunzhu) is that she is beautiful, gorgeous and beautiful, and there are many changes in her personality. It is appropriate for her to play a girl, an old woman, a lady, a slut, a housewife and a revolutionary woman ... There are many actors inside and outside the circle, and actors can be roughly divided into natural actors and character actors. I can't grow both, especially actresses. "
From "Auntie Specialists" to Guerrillas.
In order to constantly hone and improve his level of performing arts, Shang Guanyunzhu often appears on the stage of drama, and is famous for playing Fan Yi skillfully in Thunderstorm. She has played a major role in such plays as Return on a Snowy Night, Red Flag Song, Sunrise, Under the Roof of Shanghai and Peking Man. She also works as a voice actor in translated films such as Dawn Shines on Us, Marina's Destiny, Heart of the World, and The Gadfly, and her poetry readings such as He is among us have also had a great influence among the masses.
"Her performance depends not only on the sky, but also on the stage." Ishikawa said. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Shang Guanyunzhu made films for CLP No.2 Factory and Wenhua Film Company successively, and played an important role in A Dream in Paradise and Long Live My Wife. Later, she joined Kunlun Film Company as a basic actress, which was a turning point in her life and artistic path. 1947, she played the jewel-encrusted "traitor's wife" He in the film "A River Flowing East", and interpreted the three-dimensional vivid character image of director Zheng's "triangular face", which was recognized by the insiders and established her position in the film industry.
Not satisfied with the role of "aunt professional household", Shang Guanyunzhu boldly broke through herself and changed the stage. She plays Lan Youlan, a traditional housewife, in A Thousand Lamps. Through delicate and life-like performances, she depicts the contradictory character of kindness, virtue, weakness and privacy in a hierarchical and measured way, which makes her acting skills impressive both inside and outside the circle.
In "Two Ways", she plays a poor female worker who is deeply humiliated, and accurately depicts the tragic experience of working women at the bottom under the dual pressure of enemy abuse and husband's rights discrimination. Shang Guanyunzhu is petite and doesn't conform to the appearance of "short and fat" that people usually think of as a female worker. For the first time, she went to that two-way shop, wearing a beautifully tailored cheongsam with hand-sewn piping patterns, which was questioned. Such an image of Shang Guanyunzhu and a "female worker" is 108,000 miles away. In a rage, Shang Guanyunzhu went back and changed his clothes, reappeared on the set, and announced, "If you say I can't play, I'll show it to you." . Facts have proved that Shang Guanyunzhu succeeded.
In "Hope on Earth", she plays the professor's wife Tao Jinghuan, an intellectual woman of scholarly family who shares joys and sorrows with her husband who fought against Japan and served the country. This year, she was only 29 years old, but she vividly created an image of a middle-aged intellectual woman who deeply understands the righteousness and is loyal and virtuous.
"Shang Guanyunzhu has three characteristics: first, he is talented; Second, do not admit defeat; Third, be willing to suffer. " Ishikawa said that when Shang Guanyunzhu was filming "The Tiger King Snatches the Kiss", she was not convinced, which also prompted her to resolutely embark on the road of becoming an actress. Many old filmmakers are deeply impressed by her personality. Zhang Ruifang once said of Shang Guanyunzhu: "She looks delicate, but she is generous, loyal and strong. She achieved all her achievements by herself. She has her own unique life experience, and different roles and characters play more deeply. "
"Her appearance and personality are in sharp contrast. According to the predecessors in the film industry, she has a strong personality and is outspoken. When she sees anything unfair, she must speak out and speak faster. " Ishikawa said.
1955, Shanghai Film Factory filmed "The Storm of the South Island", which tells the story of an anti-Japanese armed brigade in Hainan Island leaving the mountain base in 1943. At that time, Huang Zongying recommended Shang Guanyunzhu to the director Bai Shen. "Her play is very good. She hasn't had a role for many years." . Although Shang Guanyunzhu accepted the leading role, he lived in Shanghai as a teenager, never met guerrillas, and lived with the film crew for a few days, but he couldn't feel it. Bai Shen had a brainwave and decided to ask the local troops to help "fake the play." One day, they marched in the woods imitating guerrillas. Suddenly, gunshots were heard, and even grenades exploded in the woods. All the actors were frightened. Shang Guanyunzhu ran with everyone. When she reached a big tree, she suddenly heard someone say, "Today's practice is over." At that moment, her feelings for the characters came.
In South Island Storm, Shang Guanyunzhu "turned into" a brave, battle-hardened, fearless female guerrilla, and made a convincing interpretation of Fu Ruohua, a revolutionary female warrior who experienced difficulties and obstacles. She could not see the "charming" she was good at. This is her new broadening and breakthrough in performing arts. It is precisely because she is loyal to art and dares to challenge that she can calmly create characters with different personalities.
Wei Ran, the son of Shang Guanyunzhu, thinks, "By pursuing her mother's life footprint and her artistic exploration, I gradually understand that her success is by no means a balloon blown out, but the height she strives to reach."
1957 won the excellent film award of the Ministry of Culture 1949 to 1955 individual first prize for his outstanding performance in The Crow and the Sparrow (as Mrs. Hua who endured humiliation). 1962 won the honor of being one of the "Twenty-two Stars" in the new China film industry selected by the Ministry of Culture.
Shang Guanyunzhu was a member of the first and second sessions of the Shanghai CPPCC, a member of the third and fourth sessions of the Standing Committee, and the executive director of the Shanghai Film Association (then known as the Shanghai Branch of the China Film Workers Association).
You can find the footprints of her life in Shanghai.
On May 20th, 2005, the bronze statue of Shang Guanyunzhu was unveiled in his hometown, Changjing Town, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province. On June 9th, 2007, Shang Guanyunzhu Memorial Hall opened in its former residence, Changjing Town, Jiangyin City. At that time, Shanghai filmmakers such as Xie Jin, Qin Yi and Niu Ben all participated in this activity.
In 2005, Shang Guanyunzhu was named as one of the "100 Outstanding Film Actors" in China films to commemorate the anniversary of the world film 1 10 and the anniversary of the China film 10.
Shang Guanyunzhu Monument was completed in Shanghai Fushou Garden on March 1 2006. Today, her life footprints can be found in many places in Shanghai.
"Shang Guanyunzhu first rented with his family at No.40, Li Xicheng, which is now Madang Road, and then lived in Li Qingfu, Lane 236, Changle Road 18. After marrying Cheng, she moved to Fuxing Road 147. Now it is the memorial hall of Ling Ke's former residence. At that time, Ling Ke lived on the second floor and Shang Guanyunzhu lived on the third floor. " Ishikawa has the habit of walking at night. On a cool night, he passed Jian 'an Apartment, No.641Jianguo West Road, and looked at the dark window on the fourth floor, which was the last apartment of Shang Guanyunzhu. "Think of Shang Guanyunzhu, there are always some regrets. She died early, leaving little information, and the Shanghai Film Museum could not make a special exhibition area for her. "Ishikawa said.
It is impossible to hold commemorative activities offline. Some fans suggested that an online special film exhibition could be held for Shang Guanyunzhu. This year is also the 1 10 anniversary of Tang's birthday and the centenary of poplar's birth. This year, many Shanghai filmmakers are celebrating important anniversaries. To this end, the Shanghai Film Association discussed holding offline film screenings for these old filmmakers last year, but due to the epidemic, these plans can only be temporarily cancelled.
Ishikawa said that according to the 50-year restriction of intellectual property protection, the copyright of Shang Guanyunzhu's old films has entered the public version and can be shown in cinemas. However, the digital broadcasting rights of these old films are more complicated and are not in the hands of one company. "The online film festival involves copyright issues and cannot be solved. However, these old movies can be searched and watched on the website of cctv6. We are also making arrangements. After the epidemic, we will try our best to show these old filmmakers commemorative films in specific theaters in the second half of the year to meet the audience's viewing needs. "
