After receiving the transfer order from the General Political Department, the Cadre Office of the Provincial Military Region quickly completed the transfer procedures for me. On April 20, 1994, I embarked on my journey to Beijing and arrived at the coveted General Political Office.

Not long after I arrived at the General Political Department, I made a phone call to Qin Moumou of the Provincial Military Region, meaning that he should quickly send someone to get my file back from the place and send it over, and the General Political Cadre Department would wait for me to be specifically appointed. From the phone, I heard that Qin Moumou no longer had the domineering attitude of the past, and some were just "good, good, good!" Yes, yes, yes! Of course, I was not polite to him, and finally said to him: "If the file is delayed, you will be responsible for all the consequences!" After listening to my tough words, Qin Moumou said without temper: "Don't worry, I'll let people do it immediately!" ”

On June 1, 1994, a vigorous day, General Yu Yongbo, director of the General Political Department, signed an order: Liang Guoguo was appointed as a reporter of the CCTV General Political Reporter Station (with the rank of deputy battalion captain).

The General Political Reporter Station once had a glorious history and was known as the "Royal Reporter Station". During Yang Baibing's tenure as director of the General Political Department and later as secretary general of the Central Military Commission, CCTV's "News Network" broadcast the news they filmed twice in three days. After Yang Baibing ceased to serve as the secretary general of the Central Military Commission and director of the General Political Department, the stationmaster Ji Huiyan was transferred to the Military Department of CCTV, reporter Qi Kejun was transferred to the CCTV Social Education Department, reporter Chi Mingquan was transferred to the local government, and reporter Zhang Xuejun became the "commander of the light pole".

Since I took up my post at the station, the functions of the station have changed a lot. In addition to providing CCTV with news on the head of the General Political Department, we mainly focused our energies on our own program "Camp News," which was broadcast every Tuesday and Thursday night, and used this position to publicize the organs and units directly under the General Political Department.

Since Yu Yongbo, director of the General Political Department, is very concerned about the self-run program "Yingyuan News" and often watches and guides it, for this reason, the General Political Department and all directly subordinate units also attach great importance to the "Yingyuan News", and as long as there are activities, they invite us to shoot them.

In addition to the Nanjing Institute of Political Science, the Xi'an Institute of Political Science, and the 311 Base outside Beijing, the military units directly under the General Political Department in Beijing include the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, the Bayi Film Studio, and the Military Museum. The divisional units in Beijing include the Song and Dance Troupe, the Drama Troupe, the Opera Troupe, and the Bayi Labor Brigade. There are many units and activities, and the reporter station with only the two of us is far from meeting the demand. Besides, I was not familiar with the situation when I first came, and I didn't know how to shoot, and seeing Zhang Xuejun busy, I was in a hurry and couldn't help.

In order to meet the needs of my work as soon as possible, from November 1994 to January 1995, with the approval of the leadership, I went to the Television Department of the Beijing Broadcasting Institute for three months to study. Later, the reporter station continued to grow, and several comrades such as Liu Yaping, Li Xiaoguang, Jiao Yanan, and Li Xuesong were transferred successively, and I was gradually promoted from a reporter to the head of the reporter station (with the rank of colonel in the regiment).

September 1, 1995 was a memorable day for our family. On this day, our family moved to Beijing. With the help of Zhang Wei and other friends of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Beijing, his wife Yanping successfully arranged to work in a branch of the Beijing branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and her child Yange also entered the General Political Kindergarten.

The General Political Kindergarten was born in Yan'an, the holy land of the revolution in the smoke of gunfire, which is the "cradle on horseback" depicted in the movie. Its predecessor was called "Central Nursery School", in 1942, in order to thank the donations of patriotic overseas Chinese and international friends in Los Angeles, it was named "Los Angeles Nursery School", in 1950 to Beijing after it was renamed "Central Military Commission Nursery School", in 196-9 it was renamed "General Political Kindergarten". Most of the children of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries grew up in this kindergarten, where Li Tieying, a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, and many major generals, lieutenant generals, and even generals of many units came out.

After my family moved to Beijing, I also realized my desire to provide a good living environment and excellent learning conditions for the next generation.

B. I wrote an interview with the "big names".

When I was in the lower units, it was very difficult to meet a "celebrity and big man," but after coming to the General Political Department, the literary and artistic groups directly under the Work Department directly under our reporter station became their superior organs, and we had unique conditions for interviewing them. The ancients Su Linyun: "The buildings near the water get the moon first, and the flowers and trees are easy to spring." "Some of the old actors of Bayi Film Studio, I grew up watching the movies they acted in. Like Wang Xingang, Daniel Zhang, Wang Xiaotang, Qu Yun, Yuan Xia, Shi Wei, etc., they are my idols. Whenever I go down to my direct unit because of work, I always find time to visit them and write something for them.

In April 2006, I published a collection of my writings, "Years Like a Song", which included the articles I wrote for these "celebrities".

Here are a few excerpts for readers:

Still a shining star

——Interview with one of the famous actresses Wang Xiaotang

Writing about Wang Xiaotang was a long-cherished wish of the two of us when we first put on military uniforms more than ten years ago.

This can't help but make people think that just as an era has an era of writers, an era also has an era of actors. But an actor like Wang Xiaotang, who can be loved by several generations, is probably very rare in today's film industry.

Last fall, we met her at the leafy Bayi Film Studio. Wang Xiaotang was dressed in a straight military uniform, with black and shiny hair, covering Bai Zhe and Juan's beautiful faces, and a pair of clear and transparent eyes. Where is this person who is almost 60 years old? It's clearly in his 40s, just the right year!

Wang Xiaotang was born in an old military family. His father, Wang Shuhui, was the deputy director of the Political Department of the Chongqing Garrison Headquarters of the Kuomintang and the "representative of the National Congress". Although he was dressed in military uniform, he was a typical old intellectual, not only noble, but also stubborn, and a loyal believer in the Three People's Principles. He saw that the Kuomintang was becoming more and more corrupt, and insisted on writing a letter to advise him to "follow the premier's last instructions", but no one paid attention to it, and in 1946 he resigned angrily, disarmed and returned to his hometown, and wrote poems and paintings every day, but he was also idle. Her mother, Wang Jiatang, is good at oil painting and is a new woman with an open mind.

Under the influence of her family, Wang Xiaotang, who was born beautiful and intelligent, loves art, and knows almost everything about poetry, painting, opera, and dance. In the early days of the founding of New China, the General Political Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army wanted to set up seven theater troupes, and Minister of Culture Chen Yi sent people to various places to recruit troops. Wang Xiaotang was applying for the opera professional school in Shanghai at this time, and when he heard the news, he decided to apply for the exam. The recruits only need to be famous, not "amateurs". At this time, her mother recommended her to Huang Zongying, and Huang Zongying brought her to her brother Huang Zongjiang and Zhao Dan, and they all said, "This little girl's talent is too good." So, they called Minister Chen Yi overnight to report. Knowing that this little girl's background was complicated, the minister still made up his mind: "The melting pot of revolution!" As long as she is a talent, she must be created. Since then, this little girl, who has always been stubborn, finally got her wish after many investigations and became a literary and artistic soldier in the People's Liberation Army.

Time flies. In 1955, Wang Xiaotang played Xiao Liying in the movie "Mysterious Traveling Companion", which was her first time on the screen. In 1957, she played Mano in the movie "Beacon Fire in the Border Village", which won the "Young Film Actor Award" at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, becoming the first film actor in New China to win an international award.

A new star has finally risen to prominence with her hardship, diligence and studiousness.

Wang Xiaotang was soon transferred to the actor troupe of Bayi Film Studio. At this time, she was like a tiger with wings, and in a few years, she played the role of the female spy Alan in the movie "Heroes and Tiger Courage", and played Yufen in "Sea Eagle", both of which were deeply loved by the audience. In 1963, in the movie "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City", she played the two roles of the gentle Yinhuan and the spicy and strong Jinhuan at the same time, crossing the stage of "true colors" and becoming a mature "character" actor, which caused a sensation in the mainland and Hong Kong in one fell swoop.

One night, the Military Commission held a dance party at the Sanzamen Club, and Premier Zhou went. Wang Xiaotang was ordered to perform on stage and performed the Sichuan comedy "Buy Movie Tickets". Premier Zhou smiled and smiled, tears flowed out. After the show, Premier Zhou warmly beckoned her to sit beside him and praised: "Your gold and silver rings are well performed, "Buy a Movie Ticket" is also very good, and the Sichuan dialect is very authentic, which makes me feel like I have returned to Sichuan where I have worked and lived for many years. ”

Also on the same night, Wang Xiaotang returned to the dormitory and was about to rest, when she suddenly received a phone call, Marshal Chen Yi asked her to perform Sichuan comedy. So, she took a taxi to Sanzamen and gave a wonderful performance for Chen Yi, Li Fuchun and other leading comrades, which made Mr. Chen, an authentic Sichuan person, laugh out loud.

In the second Hundred Flowers Award competition, Wang Xiaotang topped the list of best actresses with her outstanding performance in the movie "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City".

She's on the podium.

Wang Xiaotang waited with great joy. However, what she was waiting for was the bad news of the cancellation of the "Hundred Flowers Award", she cried bitterly, she shed tears......

After the start of the "Cultural Revolution", the "standard-bearer" Jiang Qing set foot in the literary and artistic circles, and she particularly "cared" about Wang Xiaotang. Many of Wang Xiaotang's films have been criticized: Yufen in "Sea Eagle" is a jeep girl; The golden ring in "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City" is a shrew; The silver ring is the middle figure; Alain in "Die Hard" is a swing dance agent...... When Premier Zhou approved the performance of "Sea Eagle" abroad, Jiang Qing shouted hysterically: "Wang Xiaotang can't be allowed to go." They all say that she is beautiful, and I am angry when I see her! She is a literary and artistic black line figure, and a spy who has infiltrated the revolutionary ranks. ”

After that, she not only had to be criticized, but also had to do heavy manual labor. Fate gave her not only success and flowers, but also humiliation and grief. The father was afraid that his historical problems would affect his daughter again, so he committed suicide in tears; My sister also committed suicide because she couldn't bear the discrimination and torture; The only beloved son also passed away after falling ill because she and her lover were "working and exercising". All of this is hitting Wang Xiaotang's hurt heart.

Faced with the pressure of life, Wang Xiaotang did not give in at all.

The mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. After six years of petitioning, Wang Xiaotang's problem was finally resolved. She has no time to lament, and she has no energy to think about personal gains and losses. She is like a tenacious warrior, and before her wounds have healed, she is about to go out of the trenches and stride into the realm of art.

Soon, she wrote the movie script "Xiang". depicts an overseas Chinese female intellectual, despite the amazing hardships suffered in the "Cultural Revolution", however, her belief in serving the motherland is still the same as always. Then, she wrote, directed, acted, composed, wrote, sang, and costumed herself. Yes! The whole "7 self" has created a precedent in the Chinese film industry.

"Xiang" finally flies. After the film was released, it caused strong repercussions at home and abroad. Huang Zongying, a famous writer and artist, wrote a review article of more than 6,000 words in one go after watching the film: "Xiang, Xiang! 》。 After watching the film, Wan Li, Wang Zhen, Kang Keqing and other central leaders also gave high praise.

Wang Xiaotang flew. She bravely took the first step. Striding on his own path and completing a transformation of life. Her artistic life is not on the verge of exhaustion, but second, it is gaining momentum and releasing it.

Today, Wang Xiaotang serves as a director of the China International Cultural Exchange Center; Deputy director of Bayi Film Studio, recently, he was awarded the "38" Red Banner Bearer by the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, and was awarded a third-class meritorious service.

Wang Xiaotang, the star, is still flashing......

From movie stars to female generals

——Interview with the famous actress Wang Xiaotang

She is the only female general in the film industry, although she has not experienced the rain of bullets, she has presided over and mobilized the 1.5 million troops of the major military regions of the whole army. Although she is a general, she never ceases to search in the temple of art. She started out as an actress, but later became one of the few female generals in the Republic. This female general full of strong colors is Major General Wang Xiaotang, the former director of the Bayi Film Studio of the General Political Department.

More than 10 years ago, she was my idol since childhood, and my lover and I interviewed her and wrote a short article. More than ten years later, as a propaganda cadre of the General Political Organ, on the occasion of the centenary of Chinese film, with pride, reverence and curiosity, I once again approached Mr. Xiaotang, wanting to unveil the mystery of the first female general in the film industry in the history of the Republic.

Life Experience

Wang Xiaotang is a native of Nanjing, Jiangsu. He was born in Kaifeng, Henan Province on a midwinter night in 1934. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Xiaotang moved to Sichuan with his parents. In 1939, he settled in Chongqing, Sichuan, and lived for nine years. Because his father specializes in Chinese painting and his mother specializes in oil painting, the two love all kinds of art and have a lot of books at home. Xiaotang has been well nurtured by his family since he was a child, and in the third grade of primary school, he used dictionaries to gnaw Chinese and foreign classics: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Home", "Spring", "Autumn", "Lady of the Camellias", "Floating Soil De", "The Troubles of Young Werther", "Pride and Prejudice", etc., and read everything. The teachers of the Bashu school she attended and the defense school are good, and the second grade of primary school should learn English painting and staves, and in the fifth grade of primary school, Bingxin's "Send Young Readers" is a must-read book in Chinese class. She was an active member of the school, and she won first place in the school-wide essay competition; Chongqing held a Chinese speaking competition for middle schools in Chongqing, and she also won the first place. Because both parents love Peking Opera, when she was in high school, she had learned a lot of Peking Opera in her spare time with Lang Dingyi, a female Peking Opera actor who was very popular in Chongqing at the time. At that time, many artistic talents gathered in Chongqing: Shu Xiuwen, Zhang Ruifang, Bai Yang, Lu Ming, Dai Ailian...... The little Wang Xiaotang watched their words, dances and a large number of excellent Chinese and foreign films. These subtle effects are very great, and the mountains and rivers of Sichuan, regional characteristics, customs, and cultural charm deeply immerse this little girl. Wang Xiaotang said: Bashan Shushui has nurtured me and has had a great impact on my life.

In March 1948, after returning to Nanjing, Jiangsu, Wang Xiaotang studied at Nanjing Municipal No. 1 Girls' High School (now Nanjing Zhonghua Middle School). Subsequently, her family moved to Hangzhou. Wang Xiaotang studied at the then Zhejiang Provincial Girls' High School (now Hangzhou No. 14 Middle School).

In the autumn of 1952, Wang Xiaotang was recommended by Wu Hongyi and Huang Zongying to compete in Shanghai. After getting the news, Xiaotang's parents didn't want their daughter to go north alone, hoping that she would develop in East China. The mother rushed from Hangzhou to Shanghai overnight, wanting to keep her beloved daughter, and until the platform of the train station, the mother still wanted to convince her daughter. Huang Zongjiang, who recruited Wang Xiaotang into the army, pointed to the seven-character symbol of "Chinese People's Liberation Army" on his left chest and said to Xiaotang's mother: "Auntie, don't worry." You can't be wrong with these seven words when you hand over your daughter! "Yu Xiaotang finally only went to Beijing! A few years later, when she became the favorite film actor of the whole army in the country after struggle, Huang Zongjiang went to Hangzhou on a business trip and visited her mother again: "How is it? Auntie, that's right! Xiaotang's mother smiled and burst into tears: "Thank you, thank you Chinese People's Liberation Army!" ”

When she first arrived at the army's art troupe, the regiment stipulated that she would practice at 6 o'clock in the morning every day, and she would get up at 5 or even 4 o'clock in the morning to practice "private" skills. She is also a part-time cultural teacher, responsible for the study of three classes, Wang Xiaotang teaches very seriously, correcting students' homework until one or two o'clock in the evening every day. The next day, I got up again at less than five o'clock to practice. In the summer of 1953, he was nominated by the whole regiment and submitted to his superiors for approval, and Wang Xiaotang was awarded a third-class meritorious service. She also made rapid progress in business, and the teachers said behind their backs: "This child has a heart and is a piece of material." Unlimited! ”

The Peking Opera Troupe of the General Political Department performed in the army most of the time. From the summer to the winter of 1953, he traveled all over the remote troops in the northwest. Since it was a condolence performance on behalf of the General Political Department to the troops, and it was also an excerpt play, it was necessary to have a curtain announcer who could convey to the troops the General Political Department's concern for the commanders and fighters of the troops before the performance began, and also to give a concise and vivid introduction to the plot. The head of the regiment, Li Shutian, specially sent Wang Xiaotang to announce the curtain, and when the announcer in a military uniform appeared on the stage, the atmospheric typhoon, sweet voice, beautiful sentences, and cordial feelings greatly boosted the spirits of the troops who came to see the play. Before the performance began, the audience was already very enthusiastic and applauded. The actors waiting on the side of the stage said: "This Xiaotang's announcement is amazing! During a week's performance in a military hospital in Xi'an, a wounded and sick man who had won the title of "combat hero" asked a nurse to push him in a wheelchair every night after watching the first performance of the Peking Opera Troupe of the General Political Consultative Conference, and then returned to the ward after reading the report.

A few years later, Wang Xiaotang stepped onto the screen, and the head of the General Political Drama Troupe came back from serving as a soldier in the northwest, and said humorously: "Oh, this time I know, the troops in the northwest still circulate the story of Wang Xiaotang's good report, Xiaotang was not famous for acting in movies at first, but for our troops!" ”

In March 1954, she was transferred from the Peking Opera Troupe of the General Political Department to the General Political Drama Troupe. The environment has changed, and Wang Xiaotang understands: everything has to start from scratch. She gets up very early every day, and in addition to studying politics and business books, she practices the basic skills such as waist and legs practiced in the Peking Opera Troupe every morning. She persisted in practicing for many years until the "Cultural Revolution" was imprisoned in the "cowshed". She ran the crowd and took care of makeup in the popular large-scale drama "Breaking Through the Darkness Before Dawn" of the General Political Drama Troupe at that time. She learned to make glue, make a beard, and do small jobs such as an electrician and welder. She is full of vitality and joy, "Do everything, try to do your best!" It was her life's credo.

For a period of time in the repertory troupe, she has been doing these small jobs silently. At the same time, study hard and study again! Improve, improve! Waiting for opportunities, creating opportunities! Wang Xiaotang, who was sighed by actress Ji Shuping "You are so beautiful!" The twenty-year-old girl never takes her beauty as a capital, but hones herself hard. In order to practice the ability to serve the motherland, smell the chicken and dance, and have the determination to lie down and taste the courage! The opportunity has finally arrived!

Shining and shining

On a snowy morning after New Year's Day in 1955, Wang Xiaotang practiced alone on the sidelines of the CAO field in white snow armor. At this time, the cadres of the two local troops walked in from outside the gate of the repertory troupe, Wang Xiaotang glanced at them, she didn't expect that from this moment on, her fate and the movie were linked. These two are Lin Nong and Zhu Wenshun, directors of Changchun Film Studio, who want to direct a new film together, and they have been looking for the heroine in the film for a long time, but they are not satisfied. They came to turn to Li Shenglin, a veteran actor of the General Political Repertory Troupe. Li Shenglin said: "We have a girl here who meets your requirements, has a very good image, and works very hard...... See you first! He called Wang Xiaotang in the snow. Lin Nong and Zhu Wenshun only felt that their eyes were bright, the girl standing in front of them was so dazzling, so beautiful and pure! They all secretly cheered to themselves: "Good! That's her! In April 1955, Wang Xiaotang stepped into the door of Changying for the first time. With the help of the director and other comrades, he worked extremely hard to create the image of Xiao Liying, a girl of the Yi nationality. The film "Mysterious Traveling Companion" was released nationwide during the Spring Festival in 1956, and it became an instant hit, and thousands of enthusiastic audiences remembered Xiao Liying and sang the episode she sang in the film, "Burmese Osmanthus Blossoms Ten Miles of Incense", and "Popular Movie" specially introduced her. Wang Xiaotang's name began to enter the hearts of the audience, facing snowflakes of letters from the audience and groups of female students who flocked to her, the leaders of the repertory troupe and the old comrades cared about her. Wang Xiaotang said: "I am still far away. She still reads, exercises, runs to the masses, and washes gauze, and everyone can't help but nod secretly. In 1957, Lin Nong directed Changying's first color feature film "Beacon Fire in the Border Village". The film was filmed in Yunnan for a while, but the heroine was not ideal, and Lin Nong decided to change the actor. He flew to Beijing, walked into the door of the General Political Repertory Troupe again, and found the leader of the repertory troupe. The leaders said: Film is the cause of the whole country, and besides, saving the scene is like fighting fires, and it is also training talents for our troops, so let's go quickly. The next day, Wang Xiaotang flew to Kunming with director Lin Nong. Wang Xiaotang understands that he can't play this role badly, he can only play it well, and he has to be very good! There is no way back. Wang Xiaotang began the creation of her second film, Forget to Sleep and Eat. Soon, her hard work and her good play won the convincing of the whole group. After the release of "Beacon Fire in the Border Village", a "big-name" actress of the General Political Drama Troupe at that time specially bought a ticket to the theater to watch the film. When he came back, he said to others: "Go and have a look, Wang Xiaotang is really good." It's really in-depth into the characters. ”

In 1958, "Beacon Fire in the Border Village" was sent to the 11th Karlovy Vary Film Festival as a competition film. Wang Xiaotang won the "Young Film Actor Award" in one fell swoop, becoming the first film actor of our army to win an award in the world. Wang Xiaotang used his talent and hard work to shape Mano, and climbed one step higher after Xiao Liying.

But at this moment, she said: "This award is encountered." I can't, and others can. To be a really good actor, I still have a lot to lose. In March 1958, Wang Xiaotang was transferred to the Bayi Film Studio Troupe and became a film actor. Wang Xiaotang began a prosperous period in her career as a film actress. At the same time as coming to Bayi Factory, director Yan Jizhou invited her to participate in the film "Heroes and Tiger Courage" to play a villain, Alan. Some old comrades in the General Political Repertory Troupe don't want her to play this role: saying that her Xiao Li Ying and Mano are cute images, don't play a female spy, and destroy Wang Xiaotang in the audience's mind. There are also some who agree with her to play this role: many actresses want to play Alain. Wang Xiaotang took over the role and used her talent to create a completely different Alain! When "Die Hard" was screened in the auditorium of Changchun Film Studio, many people who had worked with her went to see it. Xu Lan, a veteran actor who worked with Xiaotang in "The Mysterious Traveling Companion" and "Beacon Fire in the Border Village", said to Tian Lie: "Ouch, is this Xiaotang? It's completely different from her previous role! Tian Lie said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this is called an actor." ”

"Heroes and Die Hard" not only caused a sensation among domestic audiences, but also had a very strong response when it was released abroad. During the Soviet Union at that time, when the screen showed Alain dancing the "rumba" dance, the audience in the venue was very excited, stomping their feet and applauding. In 1958, Wang Xiaotang appeared in a total of four films in Bayi Factory. The year 1959 marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. All film studios have invested in the production of films dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Bayi Factory's "Sea Eagle" is one of them. The screenwriter of this film is Lu Zhuguo and other four people, the director Yan Jizhou, the photographer Cai Jiwei, and the actors are concentrated Wang Xingang, Wang Xiaotang, Daniel Zhang, Li Po, Liu Jiang and a number of local stars. This is an unforgettable creative collective, learning from art, going deep into life, and working very hard. Wang Xiaotang devoted all his efforts to play the fisherman's daughter and militia company commander Yufen. There are only two or three seconds of wires and rocks on the screen, and it takes her a thousand times longer to master them. At the same time, she worked hard to come up with a lot of good shows. The director is good at accepting the opinions of the crowd and adopts most of her suggestions. The actors said that Xiaotang should be changed to a director, and she smiled "It's better to be an actor."

"Sea Hawk" was a success! Editing, directing, photography, beauty and various business departments have made great contributions; The actors are indispensable. Wang Xiaotang created the image of a contemporary female militia company commander for the first time - this role that was not easy to play well, through her efforts, the image is vivid and vivid.

"Sea Eagle" as a gift film to the 10th anniversary of the National Day, Wang Xiaotang and other main creators were received by Premier Zhou Enlai at the Beijing Hotel. In 1959, Wang Xiaotang had a solo sketch "Buy a Movie Ticket". When Premier Zhou Enlai watched this sketch at the three gates of the office of the Military Commission, he burst into tears and laughed. Marshal Chen Yi, General Luo Ruiqing and other leaders all admired Wang Xiaotang's dialect comedy. Performance artist Xie Tian was full of praise for this sketch, and he said to Wang Xiaotang: You are a good comedian, and later, he asked Wang Xiaotang twice to appear in his films "The icing on the cake" and "Sweet Career", but they all failed for some reason, and they regretted each other. In 1961, after creating four completely different screen images in one go, Wang Xiaotang wanted to hold a "one-man party". She listed a program of more than two hours, and also learned the Peking Opera "Selling Water" from Liu Changyu for this purpose. At this time, theaters across the country hung up large photos of a total of 22 film actors approved by the Ministry of Culture of the State Council. Among them, Wang Xiaotang's photo has won the love of hundreds of millions of viewers, and many viewers have treasured this photo to this day.

In 1963, Wang Xiaotang created two main characters in the film "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City" adapted from the novel of the same name: sister Jinhuan and sister Yinhuan. This film is Yan Jizhou and Wang Xiaotang's fourth collaboration after "Heroes and Tiger Courage", "A Thousand Miles in a Day", and "Sea Eagle". Wang Xiaotang once again devoted all his efforts to creating two characters with brilliant but lifelike personalities, which was fully affirmed by the author and screenwriter of the novel Li Yingru, and was recognized by the audience. In the 1963 Film Hundred Flowers Award selection event, Wang Xiaotang won the Best Actress Award at the 3rd Hundred Flowers Award with an absolute overwhelming majority of votes. Although the Hundred Flowers Award failed to be awarded due to Jiang Qing's obstruction, the people will always remember their beloved actor Wang Xiaotang. Wang Xiaotang has worked hard to practice her pursuit: always take an arrow upward road! Her performance in "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City" has improved her acting skills from all her previous films. Step by step, she climbed upwards and reached a new height in her artistic milestones. The one-man party failed to come out of the stage because the "Cultural Revolution" began! All of Wang Xiaotang's films were denied by Jiang Qing. At someone's instigation, overnight, the Bayi Factory Actors Troupe posted an overwhelming big-character poster of "exposing" and "criticizing" Wang Xiaotang, and the content was shocking. Wang Xiaotang looked at them one by one, and sometimes smiled. Her calm and disdainful attitude angered some people, so "high-quality" big-character posters were posted one after another. But he never made Wang Xiaotang bow his head.

In 1968, Wang Xiaotang was "dictatorship". He was also "ordered" to confess to the "crime" of "harboring the manuscript of a counterrevolutionary big-character poster." Wang Xiaotang refused: "I can't frame others, and I can't say irresponsible things." So the wire whip and the big wooden stick hit Wang Xiaotang, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt. The people of the task force think that a delicate actress is not recruited in one dozen? They were wrong, Wang Xiaotang was covered with bruises, but he always said two sentences: "No." "I don't know."

Later, a person from the "task force" said: "Wang Xiaotang is powerful, and he would rather die than give in." At the meeting to fight Wang Xiaotang, Wang Xiaotang took all the "crimes": "I did it, and it has nothing to do with them." A female comrade whispered to someone: "Wang Xiaotang is good!" I really want to go up and give her a bouquet of flowers! One day, Wang Xiaotang came home from work in the "dictatorship team" and found a letter on the ground in the door: "Sister, we are a young couple living near Bayi Factory. Seeing that the work of the eldest sister is hard and the body is tired, we are very distressed. We've all seen the movies that my eldest sister has played, and I've heard that you're as strong as Jinhuan...... We give a person's salary and food stamps to the eldest sister every month from the salary, and the eldest sister takes good care of her body so that she can act in more good movies for us in the future. Signed below. Wang Xiaotang secretly met with them at the time and place agreed in the letter. did not take their money and food, gave them two medals of Chairman Mao, the only "wealth" she had, and told them not to risk doing so in the future. A worker at a marble factory in Hangzhou asked someone to give Wang Xiaotang a marble ruler, wrapped in paper, and written on it: "Hardship and hardship, jade and ru are successful." In December 196-9, Wang Xiaotang was "specially demobilized" to Huairou County, a suburb of Beijing, due to "stubbornness". At that time, someone from Bayi Factory said to the cadres of the Armed Forces Department of Huairou County: "This Wang Xiaotang is so bad, Jiang Qing personally named her, and you have to arrange for her to go to the most bitter place." "The people of the armed forces department protected Wang Xiaotang and arranged her to go to the forest farm in Beitai. Wang Xiaotang has been here for six years. Wang Xiaotang said: "I want to go back to Bayi Factory. Someone from Bayi Factory said, "Dispel this thought, you can't come back if you die." Wang Xiaotang smiled: "Unless you die, you must come back!" For the sake of their careers, Wang Xiaotang and his lover Yan Xiaopeng only had one child. In 1974, Aiko Xiaoqun was sixteen years old, looking very much like his mother, handsome and intelligent. Deeply loved by teachers. In the long years when Wang Xiaotang struggled to return to Bayi Factory, the small group had learned to be strong. He said, "Mom, we're going to win!" Then the mother and son hugged each other and jumped for joy. It's hard. A small group developed hepatitis and their condition deteriorated to the point of critical illness. When his life was dying, he painted an oil painting of sunflowers, and said to his mother, who did not eat or sleep, "Mom, we will win." But what a price it has cost us! Xiao Qun died in July 1974 at the age of 16 and a half. At that time, there were many friends, comrades-in-arms and old leaders who supported Wang Xiaotang. Some found her a house, some sent her money and food, some found her all kinds of good books, and some asked her superiors to report the situation when she returned to the factory...... The peasants, workers, and commanders and fighters of the army all gave Wang Xiaotang all kinds of encouragement. Everyone has only one wish: Wang Xiaotang must return to Bayi Factory, and she will make greater contributions! Wang Xiaotang vowed in his heart: If he can return to his post, he will use his best job to repay the people! It was not until Comrade Deng Xiaoping's comeback in 1975 that Wang Xiaotang finally returned to Bayi Factory.

Brilliant again

Wang Xiaotang did not break his promise. When she returned to the factory, she worked harder, always trying to regain her lost time. With her extraordinary work performance, she soon served as the deputy director of Bayi Factory, and later promoted to the director of the factory, and was promoted to the rank of major general, becoming the only female general in the film and television industry. After serving as the chief officer, she pursued more excellence in the film, and put forward the motto "high-quality products, that is, to pay attention to them, not to compromise". Under this practice, all kinds of excellent films of Bayi Factory have emerged one after another: "The Great Strategic Decisive Battle", "Contest", "Heavenly Boundary", "Ballistic Without a Trace", "Soldier's Honor" and other films have won the Hundred Flowers Award, or the Golden Rooster Award, the Government-Government Huabiao Award, and the "Five One Project" Award. Under the guidance of the higher-level party committee, Wang Xiaotang established the authority of the collective leadership of the party committee with her courage and courage, and "adhered to the truth and said one thing without saying the other", which was affirmed by the party committee of the General Political Department and the Ministry of Direct Work. She led the party committee and the whole factory to keep in line with the Party Central Committee. She is politically acumen, diligent and honest, and has won the support of the masses of Bayi Factory. When she first became the factory director, the factory lost more than 8 million yuan. In June 1998, she and the production and finance departments had calculated that by the end of 1998, they could make a profit of tens of millions of yuan, and each person in the whole factory could get a bonus of four months' salary at the end of the year. Bayi Factory accepted the task assigned by the Central Military Commission, and created and filmed "The Great Turning Point" and "The Great March: Liberation of the Great Northwest", "The Great March: The Great Pursuit of the Southern Front", and "The Great March: Sweeping the Southwest". At the same time, four eight-episode revolutionary war history blockbusters were filmed, which was larger than any series of blockbusters in the past, and it was an extremely huge systematic project. She organized the main creative staff to strive for perfection to improve the quality of the last work of "The Great March", "The Great War of Ninghuhang". Wang Xiaotang, the director of the factory who produced the film, must make careful calculations and coordinate the participation of more than 1 million commanders and fighters from the seven military regions in the filming, and coordinate the work of interviewing and filming the film in more than 20 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across the country. After the filming of each film in the "Great March" series, Wang Xiaotang has to work with the director and editor to re-edit and combine each film over and over again before and after the review by the General Political Department, the Radio, Film and Television Department, the Film Bureau, and the Central Propaganda Department, so as to turn those things that are still mediocre and trivial into wonderful and concise. Until it became a high-quality product, it was sent to the Military Commission for review and approval. She said: "Military themes should also be constantly updated. After these films are filmed, together with the original "Armageddon", the entire liberation war can be connected on the screen into a panoramic historical picture. It is the image of military history and party history. She said, "This monumental work is a good policy decision of the Central Military Commission, the crystallization of the wisdom and painstaking efforts of the whole army, and the achievement of the people of the whole country." An authoritative source in the film industry said: "Wang Xiaotang's talent in directing the filming of this series of military blockbusters is recognized. She is calm and lightweight. I know the layout and final form of each film well, and I am familiar with it in detail. That's why the film can be made into a masterpiece according to the intention of the Military Commission. ”

On 10 June 1996, Comrade Jiang Zemin personally inspected the Bayi Factory, took a group photo with more than 300 deputies, fully affirmed the contributions made by the Bayi Factory, and delivered an important speech. Jiang Zemin pointed out: "Efforts should be made to create more outstanding works with profound thoughts, exquisite art, exquisite production, strong attraction, and appeal, so as to promote the further prosperity of China's film industry and promote the development of socialist spiritual civilization." He also wrote an inscription for Bayi Factory, "creating fine films and promoting the main theme of the times." "Bayi Factory uses new work achievements to repay the care of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission. In 1996 and 1997, Bayi Factory's films topped the Huabiao Awards list year after year: in 1996, "The Great Turning" ranked first, and in 1997, "The Great March: Sweeping the Southwest" ranked first. People say that Bayi Film Studio has had two brilliant days. The first glory was from 1959 to 1963; The second glory is the nineties when Wang Xiaotang was the factory director! As an excellent director of a film factory, Wang Xiaotang studied hard, strictly managed, cultivated talents, and was determined to reform, and produced a number of good films. Her comrades-in-arms often lamented her integrity, strong principle, and affection. There are many stories of Wang Xiaotang's helpfulness, she upholds justice, sticks a knife in both threats, helps the poor, and makes a promise every year. But after she did it, she didn't tell anyone, and she didn't allow anyone to speak up. She was like this when she was a director, and she is still like this when she is a factory director. Now, no longer the director of the factory, it is still the same, and it continues unabated. Wang Xiaotang did this because she had a deep affection for the people! December 1995 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of world cinema. The 90th anniversary of the birth of Chinese cinema. This year, Wang Xiaotang was strictly screened and evaluated by experts from dozens of actresses in China's 90-year film history, and was finally rated as one of the few "Filmmakers of the Century"! This honor is no less than the significance of her promotion to a female general. On 27 December 1995, a solemn commemorative rally was held in the Great Hall of the People, at which Jiang Zemin and leaders of many countries met with hundreds of representatives of the film industry. Wang Xiaotang was selected as one of the five delegates to speak at the meeting. Her speech was very concise, only six minutes, but it deeply moved the people attending the conference, and many of them shed tears. Wang Xiaotang said at the end of his speech: In order to dedicate the quality to the people, we must keep the difficulties to ourselves; overcome difficulties without turning back, and face grievances calmly and generously; Turn honor into motivation. Dedicated to China's film industry and the solemn August 1st military flag!

After Wang Xiaotang retired from the position of director of Bayi Film Studio, not only did he not give up his film career, but he made an amazing move. She made a bold attempt with her years of life accumulation, and filmed "Fragrant Oath" without a real actor in the whole play, and it was a success.

An evergreen in the music world

——Interview with the famous singer Li Shuangjiang

The first time I knew about Li Shuangjiang was when I was a child. At that time, he sang "Little Bamboo Pai River in the middle reaches, walking ...... on both sides of the towering green mountains" was resounding in the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall.

Later, he sang songs such as "Ode to Beijing", "I Love Wuzhi Mountain, I Love Wanquan River", "Goodbye, Mother", "The Second Hometown of the Soldier", "Return from Target Shooting" and other songs are also well-known and well-known. The album "Red Star Follows Me to Fight", published by China Record Corporation, has a total circulation of 3 million copies. No singer has ever broken this number. It can be said that our generation or generations grew up listening to his songs.

I often hear people say: Li Shuangjiang not only sings well, but also is a very good person. Many years later, due to my work, I was honored to meet Mr. Li Shuangjiang, and it really deserved his reputation. Because it is a fellow countryman: sweet or not sweet hometown water, kiss hometown people or not. Therefore, it is particularly "speculative" to get along. Over the years, I have gained a deeper understanding of his conduct and dedication to his singing career.

A rough life

In the Chinese music scene, Li Shuangjiang can be called a generation of singers. From the 70s to the 80s, Li Shuangjiang's singing dominated almost every broadcast medium. Why is Li Shuangjiang so popular with the audience? First, the creation of the times. The seventies and eighties were a period of depression in Chinese literature and art. The radio and television are full of model dramas and quotation songs. The songs sung by Li Shuangjiang are fresh, bright, and lyrical, sweeping away the "model" style, and once spread, they quickly became popular. Second, the artistic characteristics are obvious. Li Shuangjiang's tenor is well-known at home and abroad. In particular, his soprano C, bright, clear, and rich, is still unsurpassed by anyone today. The Korean News Agency called his singing "an expression of rigorous technique, a fiery exchange of enthusiasm, elegant and colorful, with a high note like the waves of the sea, and a low narration like a gurgling stream between flowers, which is intoxicating." Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, praised "this tenor of China has a high note of gold and a passion like fire". Li Shuangjiang has won the love of the audience with his unparalleled superb art, so he is known as the king of a generation of singers.

Li Shuangjiang was born in Harbin in 1939, where he spent his childhood, adolescence, and junior and senior high school years. He grew up in a poor family, but he loved art and had a persistent pursuit of singing. The hard life, innocent singing, and excellent studies made the young Li Shuangjiang very fulfilling, and won honor for the school and the collective in the provincial and municipal literary performances every year. The rolling Songhua River is like a mother's milk to feed him to grow. When he was in the fifth grade of primary school, he was selected to be sent to Harbin People's Radio Station to record, and he was a well-known little singer.

When he graduated from high school, Li Shuangjiang wanted to apply for the conservatory of music, but his father asked him to enter a medical university. Singing fascinated him, and under the influence of Mr. Li Shunian, a vocal music enlightenment teacher, he wanted to disobey his father's orders, give up his vision of becoming a doctor and go to the difficult road of singing.

The father is the Shandong who is the best at disciplining his son. He has his own stubborn concept of choosing a career: never sing, it's a play, it's a ninth-rate! When the doctor is good and respected, the family is sick and does not ask for help...... "If you want to take the exam, I will break your legs!" ”

The Father is the Heavens, and the Father's Word is the "Holy Decree." At that time, Li Shuangjiang was in a dilemma.

Mothers have a profound influence on their children. Li Shuangjiang was full of emotion when he mentioned his mother.

Knowing a child is better than a mother. The mother whispered to her son. The eldest husband dares to think and dare to do it, and he will do it when he thinks about it. You love singing so much, now you have a chance, but you don't even dare to report your name, you are a zero. The mother, who raised nine children, encouraged her son in her simple way: "You go and sign up, and I'll cover for you." "It's a lot like the scene of the underground party uprising in the movie.

The mother made a Lenin suit for her son, made a pair of mille-feuille shoes, and sent Li Shuangjiang to the examination room and the music scene he loves so far.

No wonder, every time Li Shuangjiang sings the song "Goodbye, Mom", he is sincere, crying, and refreshing.

Li Shuangjiang said, "My mother has the demeanor of a prime minister." Children fight with others, whether they are reasonable or not, they always pull their children to apologize to others, and they never care about personal gains and losses in life.

The greatest influence a mother has on her son is integrity. 20 years ago, after China's reform and opening up, Li Shuangjiang often received 5 yuan and 10 yuan recording fees, and every day his mother stepped on a pair of small feet to go to the mailroom to pick up a small amount of remittance slips. At this time, rumors kept coming: Li Shuangjiang's capitalist tail is thick enough! When my mother picked a neighbor to gather, she raised the remittance slip in her hand and announced loudly: This money was not stolen and robbed, it was shouted by me, and it was earned by sweat beads falling to the ground and falling eight petals by cent!

The mother is a witness to her son's hardships and hardships, yesterday's sweat and hardship, today's rewards and applause, she knows best.

He said that in the face of other people's praise, his mother's most cordial judgment on him was "a rough person", which is the meaning of the soil kang, the soil nest, the children's wife and the hot kang head, and the old man and the coarse. Every time Li Shuangjiang drank a song, he always asked his mother to appreciate it first, and he said that if his mother understood, all the people could understand it, and all the soldiers could sing it. When my mother didn't like it, she said, "It's not dirty, it's not foreign, I can't figure it out." After listening to "Goodbye, Mom", my mother said with tears in her eyes: "My stepmother will be moved when she hears it." ”

After his mother was in her 80s, she suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and the first thing Li Shuangjiang did when she got home was for her mother to talk and do homework.

Li Shuangjiang said that now, although my mother has left me, my heart will always be with my mother. Now when I have something to worry about, when I can't think about it, I go to my mother's grave and talk to the old man, and I feel a lot more relaxed.

In this way, with the support of his mother, Li Shuangjiang successfully entered the Vocal Music Department of the Central Conservatory of Music in September 1959, under the tutelage of Professor Yu Yixuan, to learn vocal theory and singing art. At the same time, he learned about the works and theories of the German vocal school and the Italian and Russian vocal schools from Jiang Ying, Shen Xiang, Guo Shuzhen and other teachers. He also accompanied the "Red Scarf" band of the Central Conservatory of Music to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Wuhan, Tianjin and other places to hold various concerts, which were well received. He played the leading role in Western operas such as "Evgeny Onegin" and "La Bohème".

In his more than 30 years of artistic career, Li Shuangjiang attaches great importance to learning from ethnic and folk vocal arts. Although he studied traditional European bel canto singing in college, he was determined early on to fight for the nationalization of vocal music, to establish a Chinese school of vocal music, and to sing Chinese songs for the Chinese that they really love and are excited about. Over the past decades, Li Shuangjiang has carried out brave explorations along the road of nationalization of vocal music and the combination of Chinese and Western music, and has achieved gratifying results in the combination of voice and words, the combination of voice and emotion, and the expression of voice and national style.

In 1963, Li Shuangjiang graduated and was assigned to the Art Troupe of the Xinjiang Military Region and began his military art career. The culture and art of more than 10 ethnic groups in Xinjiang have nurtured and cultivated him, and have had a great influence on his vocal art practice for decades. In the same year, Li Shuangjiang went to Vietnam with the Xinjiang Song and Dance Troupe to visit and perform, and a song "Liberation of the South" won him the Outstanding Singer Award for Literary and Art Performances; The records recorded by China Record Society and CCTV such as "Chairman Mao's Words in My Heart" and "The Spring Breeze Blows All Over the Dawn Hometown" are popular throughout the country. For this, Li Shuangjiang was rewarded with the rank of lieutenant in advance.

During his 10 years of life in Xinjiang, he lived as a real soldier for five years, which made him love soldiers like his own brothers and formed an indissoluble bond with them. The sincere comrade-in-arms affection and fiery combat life are the power of his singing, the source of his feelings in his singing, and his "singing soul"! Li Shuangjiang often said proudly: "My singing voice came from the company and returned to the company; I love the company, and the company loves me; I love the warriors, and the warriors love me. "He felt blessed. The company and the fighters gave him infinite joy.

During the Cultural Revolution, Li Shuangjiang lost his freedom to sing, and the Gobi Desert, grassland, and boiler room became his stage. He practiced singing hard and never lost confidence in his singing career.

In the winter of 196-9, Sihanouk visited the northwest, and Li Shuangjiang participated in the first performance since the "Cultural Revolution", which was welcomed and understood and correctly evaluated.

In 1970, he participated in the all-army Lanzhou film performance, and his singing "Ode to Beijing" and "Pulling Camels to Send Military Rations" attracted attention. In 1972, he was invited to Beijing to record, among which songs such as "Ode to Beijing", "I Love Wuzhi Mountain, I Love Wanquan River", "The Party's Sunshine Shines on the Motherland", "Pulling a Road Camel to Send Military Rations" and other songs became popular throughout the country.

In 1971, Li Shuangjiang was transferred to the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and since then, his artistic life has had a new world and a new beginning.

In 1973, Li Shuangjiang recorded the record of "Red Star Follows Me to Fight", with a circulation of 3 million copies, a number that is the verification that the broad masses of the people are willing to accept and recognize the Chinese vocal works he sings.

In 1979, during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, Li Shuangjiang went to Guangxi and Yunnan to give condolence performances. He was deeply moved by the sacrifice of the young warriors. The songs "Goodbye, Mom" and "Remembering My Comrades-in-Arms" stirred the hearts of hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians, and became songs of the times that can be sung by all household names throughout the country. From 1979 to 1983, Li Shuangjiang sang more than 1,400 times on various occasions and performed more than 300 times a year.

In January 1981, Li Shuangjiang held a solo concert in Beijing, which attracted the attention of the music industry and friends from all walks of life. Musicians such as Zhao Feng, Shi Lemeng, Xiaohe, and Hu Juncheng have all published articles in different newspapers and periodicals. The Central People's Radio broadcast the live broadcast. This was the first solo concert held by a soloist of our army after the "Cultural Revolution".

Since 1978, Li Shuangjiang has entered the teaching activities. He summed up his experience in singing for many years and wrote a radio transcript of the vocal lecture "How I Sing High Notes". The Central Radio Station and the 24 provincial and municipal radio stations across the country broadcast three times in a week, each for half an hour, and also had a great impact on the music circles, opera circles, and dramas, and received more than 1,000 letters, which were later published in the "Vocal Music Series" of the People's Music Publishing House. In the same year, he published a vocal essay "I Sing New Songs for the People". In 1983, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House published "Selected Songs Singing by Li Shuangjiang" with a preface written by Li Wei, which became a bestseller in 1983.

Pure friendship

Li Shuangjiang attaches great importance to the relationship between love and words, love and sound, love and taste, love and fun, and pays attention to the unity of content and form, which makes his singing have a huge artistic appeal and deep expressiveness.

At the invitation of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore, Li Shuangjiang went to Singapore for a three-month lecture, and the Chinese Disabled Persons' Art Troupe, led by Deng Pufang, President of the China Disabled Persons' Association, performed in the Lion City.

During the Cultural Revolution, Li Shuangjiang and Deng Pufang recuperated in the same hospital in Beijing. Reunited after 26 years in a different Lion City. It was 1967, due to the injuries caused by the criticism and fighting, they met Pingshui when they were treated in 301 Hospital.

During his detention, Deng Pufang was pushed down from the fourth floor, paralyzed and hospitalized. Li Shuangjiang, who was working in Xinjiang at the time, was sent to Beijing for medical treatment because he was born as a cultural person, and was sent to Beijing for medical treatment because he was injured in the waist arena.

Two young people who suffered the same fate became close friends in the hospital. At that time, Li Shuangjiang was 26 years old, and Deng Pufang was three years younger than him. At that time, Deng Pufang's situation was quite pitiful, no one came to visit him, and he was paralyzed and unable to walk. Every day I was repairing a radio and disassembling it. He is sincere and open-minded. When you look at him with big eyes, you have a sense of trust in him. Li Shuangjiang didn't know who he was at the time, and out of sympathy, he got along with Deng Pufang day and night, served him food, or pushed him out of his wheelchair for a spin. Due to Deng Pufang's special status, he was placed in a small ward that could only accommodate one bed. In fact, he was a "supervised" patient who was isolated from other patients. Li Shuangjiang was recuperating in a multi-person ward adjacent to Deng Pufang. After spending three months in the hospital, Deng Pufang was suddenly taken away and disappeared.

During their time in the hospital, the two used to entertain themselves and entertain others with songs. When Li Shuangjiang was in Xinjiang, he was very fond of Xinjiang folk songs. He often sang to Deng Pufang "The Girl of Dabancheng", "In That Distant Place" and other interesting Xinjiang folk songs. These folk songs were all banned at the time. Therefore, they can only sing softly and secretly in the ward. In addition, there is another song that they both like, which is a sad and sad Russian folk song "Three Sets of Cars". At that time, every time they sang it, they wept once.

After Deng Pufang was suddenly taken away, Zhu Min, Zhu De's daughter, who was also recuperating in the hospital at the time, finally said to Li Shuangjiang: "Do you know who he is? You're not afraid of being implicated? ”

After knowing Deng Pufang's background, Li Shuangjiang was not afraid at all, because he thought that his relationship with Deng Pufang was sincere.

After Li Shuangjiang's injuries recovered, he returned to Xinjiang. As soon as he left, he had no contact for more than 20 years. But Pu Fang's career always affects Li Shuangjiang's heart. In the difficult cause of the disabled, Park Fang sowed love and sincerity, and poured out his heart. Li Shuangjiang has not only been watching these, but also supporting them in action. Li Shuangjiang has sung songs for decades and traveled to many places in the motherland, singing more than 300 times a year, more than a dozen of which are for the disabled, and more than 300 in total. Li Shuangjiang's old mother, who is 86 years old and was also in a wheelchair ten years ago, often said to Li Shuangjiang: "Xiaoping's son, he has done all good deeds, and he will bless so many suffering people to solve their problems and eliminate their worries." This is also one of the reasons why Li Shuangjiang wants to support Deng Pufang with his heart.

15 April 1992, Jialong Theatre, Singapore. The China Disabled People's Art Troupe, led by Deng Pufang, premiered in Singapore. The 2,000 spectators on the field gave each show a warm round of applause. The audience was so impressed by the wonderful performance that they forgot that it was the disabled who were performing on stage. Li Shuangjiang, who was sitting on the side, excitedly said to the people around him, I want to cry, this is a performance of love, this is the sublimation of the spark of life. Li Shuangjiang sincerely felt happy and admired for the cause led by Deng Pufang. It is Deng Pufang's wish and Li Shuangjiang's wish to let 50 million Chinese disabled people and 500 million disabled people in the world see fire in the dark, hear the sounds of heaven in the silent world, and be full of confidence and love in the journey of life.

After the performance, under the arrangement of Ms. Tan Ching Ching, a social work volunteer in Singapore, Li Shuangjiang and Tang Pufang met cordially. After some reminiscence, Deng Pufang said to Li Shuangjiang: "Shuangjiang, sing a song." Li Shuangjiang presented Deng Pufang with a Sichuan folk song "The Sun Comes Out and Beams" that he sang for him in the hospital, which is Deng Pufang's hometown folk song. Deng Pufang was very happy, and Li Shuangjiang then sang a Xinjiang folk song "Long Live Friendship" for him: "That's not gold, it's better than gold, it's a fiery heart." That's not silver, it's better than silver, it's a friendship of pure knots. ”

Be willing to be a ladder

Today's Li Shuangjiang has stepped onto the podium from the music arena, bidding farewell to flowers, applause, and the eye-catching "appearance fee". Some people laugh at him for being stupid, some people say that he wants to live another "addiction", and some people say that he "can't do it" and is already "yesterday's yellow flower".

In fact, Li Shuangjiang understands himself very well and understands brilliance very well. From the front of the stage to the back of the scenes, it is the big stage that walks in; From singing to educating people, in order to let the glory of art take root and continue it for future generations.

He knows that art has to be a long-term succession. No matter how brilliant a person is, it can only be a milestone, and a forest of steles can be an eternal landscape. Referring to the controversial Wang Luobin, he said that it was something that a conscientious Chinese should not forget: "Wang Luobin used his ardent passion for art and his ingenuity to give wings to the moving melody that had been sleeping on the Gobi Desert for thousands of years, so that it flew across the country and sang throughout the world, so that the western national culture was recognized by the people of the whole world." He said that singing is a second creation, not a parrot, not a shout, but a way to mobilize all means to express the theme of the song, and it is a tremor of the heart......

Using his heart to shake his heart, Li Shuangjiang not only sang by himself, but also taught the method to more people and let them sing on his behalf. Since 1994, Li Shuangjiang was transferred from the General Political Song and Dance Troupe to the Music Department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts as the director, and has been committed to cultivating artistic talents in the army. He also cooperated with the college to carry out drastic teaching reforms, and co-founded the "Red Star Music Scene" with the teachers and students of the music department. This reform uses all important links and important factors in the process of music teaching, mobilizes the enthusiasm of teachers and students to the greatest extent, highlights the practicality of the art teaching stage, and makes it change from scattered to centralized, from individual to group, from closed to open. This "music teaching model" takes the holding of a large number of concerts, public teaching, and academic seminars as its basic form, closely integrates teaching, artistic practice, scientific research, and academic exchanges, and has the characteristics of integrating the music arena, the forum, and the forum. When it comes to education reform, Li Shuangjiang has the deepest experience. He said that singing is individual labor, one-on-one, and some people engage in door disputes, factional disputes, and people don't get along with each other and don't buy each other. Music is the art of communication, and we must break the shackles of the 8-square-meter piano room and go to the fields, to the barracks, and to the fiery life.

He is willing to be a ladder for others, and he has a true affection for red candles. He said that he should ignite the fire in his heart. Only sincerity can have a sense of burning, and only then can we sing that the wind is the wind and the rain is the rain.

The current Li Shuangjiang is already full of peach and plum. At present, he is busy recruiting students, studying teaching reform, studying how to improve the quality of teachers, studying how to establish the Chinese military vocal music school, taking the lead in writing the history of PLA music, and compiling the Chinese People's Liberation Army military vocal music database.

Mr. Li Shuangjiang has a happy home. His wife, Mengge, is a young singer of the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and has won many awards in major national and military competitions. The majority of audiences are most familiar with her sweet, warm, and unique singing style in the music world.

Those who have a heart may still remember the marriage that caused a sensation across the country more than ten years ago.

Mengge was born on January 24, 1966 in Shashi, Hubei Province, and was originally an actor in the Municipal Song and Dance Troupe. In 1984, at the age of 18, she came to Beijing alone to study opera singing at the Social Music Academy, and in a few years, she has become well-known in Beijing. In the Spring Festival of 1988, Li Shuangjiang sang a song "Chinese Dragon" at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Mengge sang a Northeast folk song "Greeting the New Year" to Li Shuangjiang. After Li Shuangjiang heard this, he found that she was very promising, and said to her with a sigh: "Your voice is so good!" Mengge immediately said, "Teacher Li, if you think I'm okay, I will want to learn from you when I have the opportunity in the future." Li Shuangjiang said: "Girl, I don't teach." Because Li Shuangjiang was single at the time.

After the Spring Festival Gala, CCTV organized the Spring Festival Gala crew to perform in Hubei and other places. On the way, Li Shuangjiang had a deeper understanding of Dream Pigeon. Mengge humbly learned acoustics from Li Shuangjiang, who carefully taught her his experience. This performance became their happy journey, and a pair of teachers and students who had forgotten their years crossed the barrier of age and became a pair of lovers.

Most friends approve of Li Shuangjiang and Mengge's love, but there are also a few people who gossip about it, and some even slander Li Shuangjiang morally. Li Shuangjiang and Mengge are very calm about this. They laughed at the attacks of others.

Later, Mengge entered the art troupe of the Capital Iron and Steel Company, and in 1988, he was admitted to the China Conservatory of Music, and his household registration was transferred from Hubei to Beijing. In 1992, Mengge was transferred to the General Political Song and Dance Troupe. After Mengge and Li Shuangjiang got married, they made rapid progress in art. Since 1988, she has performed at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala every year, and has participated in various art groups to visit Singapore, Macau, Hong Kong and other places.

The years go by, and the tide rises and falls. This pair has gone through ups and downs, sincerely loved, devoted to each other, transcended the worldly love, after years of washing, withstood the test of time, has been interpreted into a plain and happy song......

May this outstanding couple fly together in the long river of art and create a better and brighter future!

Blue blood adds grace to her

——Interview with Zhu Lin, the heroine of the TV series "Triumph at Midnight".

Hey, it's really the case, people always want to draw a few strokes of the plastic shape, no, Zhu Lin just arrived in Quancheng, and the interviews with her are a string.

Is it because she was also a soldier? Is it because she played the role of Jiang Man, a soldier? When I met her in Springs, she was so welcoming to us two soldiers. Her slightly hoarse, clear and beautiful voice flowed in our ears like a stream, and from time to time a few waves splashed, and a hearty and sweet laugh sounded.

We are amazed that the Creator has so delicately endowed her with upright and handsome features, and a slender and well-proportioned figure; Looking at her eyes as clear and deep as spring water, you will feel that everything around you suddenly becomes so pure and beautiful......

(Reporters from several newspapers and periodicals in the province and city were waiting outside, and Zhu Lin talked to us eloquently, and the conversation was so cordial and speculative, which was really unexpected.) ）

I graduated from junior high school in '69, enlisted in the Beijing Army Signal Corps Art Troupe in 1970 to learn dance, and after transferring to the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in '76, I was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy in '81. Okay, turn off the recorder first, and you'd better not record the following paragraph.

(Zhu Lin, who has experienced ups and downs, looks particularly sophisticated and mature at this time.) She habitually brushed the hair in front of her forehead, and the eyes that were once called complicated by the director now seemed to be pure and simple, and she smiled slightly, revealed some "secret history" to us, and signed a "confidentiality agreement" with us. In order to fulfill our promise, we made pen and ink editing, so that we can have an explanation. ）

In September '85, I rushed to schedule the seventeenth episode of "Daughter Country" in the crew of the Beijing TV series "Journey to the West". When I was racking my brains to play the "queen" well, director You Xiaogang handed me the script of the TV series "Triumph in the Midnight". After reading the script, I was moved by the heroine Jiang Man's misfortunes and life experiences. I was born in Beijing like Jiang Man, and although I have not experienced the ordeal of the "Great Northern Wilderness", I have heard of it for a long time. Besides, I have been a soldier for six years and have smelled the smell of gunpowder, and Jiang Man, a female soldier who came out of the twists and turns of marriage and family, the conflict between spirit and body, and the test of blood and fire, is exactly the image I have been looking for in the past few years. At that time, there were many candidates for Jiang Man, some were self-recommended, some were introduced, new actors, old actors, and famous actors, and I was able to play the role of Jiang Man after some competition...... (Zhu Lin took a sip of tea and told with taste, taking this opportunity to examine her carefully.) Zhu Lin, who has just passed the age of standing, looks much younger than her actual age, and is younger and more delicate than Jiang Man on the screen. Stealing Wan's figure, beautiful eyes, white and tender face, elegant conversation, soaked in unique charm everywhere. ）

Jiang Man is not good at acting. She has experienced ups and downs, with intense inner conflicts, often hovering between reason and emotion. The ice and snow of the Great Northern Wilderness made her character calm and subtle, and the smoke of war in southern Xinjiang forged her character to be strong and tenacious. She has pain, sorrow, and shortcomings, but she is a real person in real life, and it is in the baptism of blood and fire that she embarks on the glorious starting point of her life's journey.

In the role I played, I felt that I was most satisfied with Jiang Man in the scene of picking up the train and Jiang Man in those scenes when he was in the front line. In this situation, those are indeed the living Jiang Man, not me Zhu Lin.

(When the words came to the front line, Zhu Lin's face was gloomy and she was a little excited.) During the filming of the oath-taking scene, the first few rows were all soldiers who had been withdrawn from the Sharp Knife Company, and at night we drank, danced, sang, took pictures, and gave souvenirs...... Finally, I recited a poem "The Dove of Eternal Peace" for everyone, which brought the party to a climax, and it was really an unforgettable night. A day later, we heard that many of the soldiers who had been partying that night had died......

You ask me if filming is hard? I say bitter. From the white snow under Changbai Mountain to the smoke of war at the front line, can it be said that it is not bitter?

(At this point, she tells us a little episode.) When filming a scene where Jiang Man went to the front line in an ambulance, with the rumbling sound of gunfire, I shuttled through the position, and suddenly, a piece of shrapnel hit my forehead, and I felt numb all over my body, and the blood flowed down my hand when I touched it.

(As she spoke, she touched her right forehead and smiled wittily.) We took a closer look, and there really wasn't a trace left here. ）

By playing Jiang Man, I understood the front line, understood the soldiers, and formed a deep friendship with the soldiers. After returning from the front, I received a large number of letters from soldiers, all of whom affectionately called me "Sister Jiang".

The day before I came to Jinan, I met the "Sound of Cat's Ear Piercing" orchestra in Beijing, and they hula surrounded me, and invited me to perform on the same stage with them. No, I came to Jinan to prepare so many exquisite New Year's cards, after returning to Beijing, let them go to the front line first, and I will go to the front line in Yunnan again with the Sichuan Provincial Condolence Group during the Spring Festival, and celebrate the festival with the soldiers.

(Jingle bell...... The electric bell on the door rang, and it turned out that the reporters of several newspapers and periodicals were in a hurry, Zhu Lin got up and said apologetically: "Let's listen together, okay?" ”）

After graduating from film school, I successively worked in the films "The Legend of the Pear Garden", "Shorbrak", "Camel Grass", and "A Place Away from the Crowd"; TV series "Golden House", "Crooked Stone Path" and other film and television dramas have played roles, although some have won awards, but they are not very ideal, this time I played Jiang Man, I am more satisfied. Recently, I will play the role of a soldier again in "The Years Away from War" filmed by Bayi Factory.

About my family? My father is a professor at a university in Beijing, my mother is engaged in medical research, and my wife is a cadre of a unit in Beijing. My father and mother didn't seem to be very interested in my career as an actor, but they never interfered with me, just taught me to know that no matter what I did, I had to do it well. I think that a person living in the world should be sincere with others and confident in himself, which can be regarded as my motto.

In April this year, Zhu Lin won the Best Actress at the 5th "Popular TV Golden Eagle Award". Congratulations, Comrade Zhu Lin! We look forward to witnessing your "next" style in the applause of the audience.

Red Star I'm going to fight

——Visit "Pan Dongzi" in the movie "Shining Red Star" to wish new luck

In the 70s, there was a movie I watched 4 times in a row, and that was the movie "Shining Red Star". The little protagonist in the film, Pan Dongzi, left an unforgettable impression on me, so much so that I still remember it decades later.

When I was a teenager, I had many dreams, but the first one was to be a PLA soldier like Pan Dongzi. More than 20 years later, I not only became a soldier, but also transferred to the General Political Department, and became the superior organ of the unit where "Pan Dongzi" now works.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema, I met again the actor of Pan Dongzi - Zhu Xinyun, who is now the deputy head of the actor troupe of Bayi Film Studio.

Like all innocent, lively children, Zhu Xinyun lives carefree at home and on campus every day. Looking at his beloved little son, his father, who was a physical education teacher in a middle school in Beijing, was affected by the "table tennis fever" at that time and began to germinate the idea of letting his son learn to play table tennis. However, at this moment, a teacher Zhang who teaches music in the primary school is also thinking about Xinyun: "This child is smart, smart, and loves to learn, and he is a good seedling." In this way, under the care of Mr. Zhang, Zhu Xinyun began to involve the literary and artistic circles. First, he was active in the school propaganda team, and later he was recommended to the Municipal Children's Palace, until the Youth Galaxy Art Troupe. Just when Zhu Xinyun was studying performing arts while studying, just like his name, the god of fate quietly patronized.

In 1973, Bayi Film Studio began to prepare for the feature film "Shining Red Star". According to the original script, the crew needed to find three children's actors of different ages, "Little Pan Dongzi", "Middle Pan Dongzi", and "Big Pan Dongzi", as well as many supporting actors such as "Chun Yanzi Said" and "Hu Hansan's Son". After the news came out, more than 100 children poured into Bayi Factory at once, and Zhu Xinyun was naturally among them. After passing the extremely strict screening, Zhu Xinyun finally stood out and played the role of "Little Pan Dongzi".

In the subsequent filming process, the crew made some changes to the script, deleting several scenes such as "Zhong Pan Dongzi", "Da Pan Dongzi" and "Hu Hansan's Son", so the role of "Little Pan Dongzi" became the focus of the whole film. "To be able to play the role of Pan Dongzi, and to be deeply rooted in the minds of hundreds of millions of viewers in the future, in addition to the good writing of the script and my personal efforts, it mainly depends on the support and cultivation of teachers and directors, as well as the strong cooperation of all colleagues involved in the filming of the film!"

"Pan Dongzi" was the undisputed "wrist" among the child stars of that era. Its popularity is far greater than that of the current "Little Swallow". CCTV host Zhu Jun once said to him: "It is really the greatest blessing in life to have the opportunity to have a dialogue with you." I wrote to you when I was younger, but you may not have received it at that time, but I did write to you, and more than one. ”

Since he is an idol, he must have a unique social significance for his existence. In the 70s, teachers and parents would often tell children that you should be like "Pan Dongzi", how about it! See, maybe that's the power of example!

Who was the cutest person in that era - the People's Liberation Army! When generations of people are trying to find Wei Wei's emotions in textbooks, "Pan Dongzi" should be the first child to resonate with Wei Wei. "After I finished filming "Shining Red Star", my biggest wish was to become a member of the People's Liberation Army. Because in the general environment at that time, the image of the People's Liberation Army was the best and the most lovely people, and this film was filmed by Bayi Film Studio, they were all wearing military uniforms, and after filming, I had this idea, that is, I definitely wanted to be a PLA. Later, it got its wish. I became a soldier in Bayi Factory! ”

Since he is wearing a military uniform, he is a small PLA, although he is a little "young" - 10 years old. But after the dream came true, "Pan Dongzi" also pondered how to "privilege". "At that time, I was reluctant to wear this military uniform, but after wearing it, I was reluctant to take it off, and I had to show it everywhere, oh, I am a soldier, I am the People's Liberation Army! When I was in school, there were inevitably some bumps! At this time, I will tell people, let me tell you, if you beat me again, you will fight the People's Liberation Army, and I can sue you!

In the 70s, it was a very "luxury" to live in a hospital, let alone the PLA General Hospital.

"Pan Dongzi" is a soldier, so he naturally has to go to the military hospital to see a doctor, but when he filled out the medical record card, he really scared the doctor, "I wish Xinyun, male, 10 years old!" Whose family members are soldiers? What are you kidding, how can there be a 10-year-old soldier, he is indeed a soldier, he said that he wished Xinyun, who is wishing Xinyun! Pan Dongzi! Ah, Pan Dongzi! Where? Isn't that there! Ah, that's a military man, hospitalized, hospitalized! ”

After many years, Zhu Xinyun still remembers this funny scene vividly. Don't worry, the best is yet to come! "I saw it as a pediatrician. Dressed in military uniform to see pediatrics. ”

Yes, everyone may use this word when summarizing their childhood: playfulness. At that time, Zhu Xinyun was a little more than nine years old, and when he was a child, he was actually very playful: "When I was filming "Mitsubishi Mark", I had to organize the film crew and actors, and I had to study and read the newspaper, and I couldn't listen to it!" I waited for the children to come to me, and when they saw that the people were reading the newspaper, they didn't dare to call me, so they put the donkey's head on the window, and when I turned around, ah, I was startled, a big donkey's head, I know, it's time to ride a donkey to fight, so I asked for leave, and I said, can you go to the toilet? Then go, this one, there will be no more. ”

The years are merciless, and everyone has to say goodbye to their childhood, even if it is very reluctant. For "Pan Dongzi", who was shrouded in halo in childhood, bidding farewell to childhood is like bidding farewell to his own glory. In the minds of the audience, he disappeared. "At that time, on the street, on the road, sometimes it scared you, you walked, walked, and there was a sound behind you, Pan Dongzi, ouch! Now walking on the street, some people can immediately recognize me as Pan Dongzi! But less, once when I was filming, people introduced these actors one by one, who is this! Hello hello hello! Who is this, ah! Hello hello, who is this! Who? This is wishing new luck! Who? Pan Dongzi! Hi Pan Dongzi, Pan Dongzi! Can't see it! It's not like back then when I had to cover a big mask, but now, let alone a mask, when I take off my glasses, no one looks at me! I took off my glasses, and I asked him, do you know who I am? Sometimes when I was driving, the police stopped me, violated the traffic rules, the police stopped me, I quickly took off my glasses first, I was afraid that he would not recognize me! Take off your glasses, come on, hello, hello! It's over, and it doesn't say in the driving book that you're an actor! ”

While Zhu Xinyun was full of emotion, he also "replayed" a scene when he returned to Wuyuan, Jiangxi, the filming venue not long ago.

Zhu Xinyun was only a 10-year-old child back then, and his emotional awareness was still very weak. However, today, 28 years later, when he once again stepped on the land that had made his life glorious, his mood was like the flowing water of the Yangtze River, and it was difficult to calm down.

"Our 'Fuyuko' has grown up!" An old man who had participated in the filming and was now full of gray hair said excitedly to the crowd around him.

"At the time, one of your cars was buzzing all the time, and I wondered, only to find out later that it was generating electricity for filmmaking." An old watch of the same age as Zhu Xinyun recalled.

"You forgot? When I filmed the scene where you went to the town to secretly collect salt for the Red Army, I also played with you! A girl said to Zhu Xinyun as if she had seen her brother who had been absent for many years.

Forget? How can you forget! I wish Xinyun to be infected by the enthusiastic fathers and villagers in front of him, and be intoxicated by the green mountains and green waters here! Like a wanderer who had just returned home after a long absence, he burst into tears with emotion...... Of course, he will never forget that he is a member of the party! After Zhu Xinyun finished filming the film "Shining Red Star", he officially turned into a literary and artistic soldier in the army. In the years that followed, under the stricter training of the party organization, he made rapid progress, and at the age of 20 he joined the party organization and became a real party member. After the reform and opening up, the organization sent him to study at the People's Liberation Army Art Academy for 4 years. Today, Zhu Xinyun is already a deputy division-level deputy head of the actor troupe of Bayi Film Studio, and he is just like "Pan Dongzi" who worked hard to complete the tasks assigned by the party, and is dedicated to his work.

"The film 'Shining Red Star' has not only influenced generations, but also educated me." Zhu Xinyun said with deep feelings, "Especially the character of 'Pan Dongzi', which will accompany me for the rest of my life." ”

Wind and rain beauty

——Interview with the famous film actress Yue Hong

Still so young! So beautiful! So sunny! Is this Yue Hong? Is this the famous movie actor Yue Hong, who created one vivid character after another on the screen and encountered cancer during the journey of his life?

In the golden autumn of October 2004, when I met her at the celebrity training class of the Shahe Training Base of the General Political Department, I was in awe. Yue Hong, who struggled with Jiang Wen, Lu Liping and other classmates in the 80s of the last century, won the 6th Golden Rooster Award for the movie "Wild Mountain" at the age of 24.

She was born in 1962 in Chengdu, Sichuan. In 1980, he was admitted to the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, and after graduation, he was assigned to work in the actors' troupe of Bayi Film Studio. In 1985, she starred in the movie "Wild Mountain", which successfully created a unique image of Guilan, a rural woman. During the filming of the film, she carefully studied the psychology and character of the characters, and used a simple and sincere performance to express the image of this resolute, tenacious, simple and hardworking rural woman. Yue Hong's appearance in the film is also very in line with the identity and personality of the character. The performance is natural and expressive, and the rich emotional expression of the accurate character portrayal is integrated into the realistic external form, showing the unique character charm of the characters. When making this film, Yue Hong had just graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and playing a role that was very different from her own personality and image was a great challenge for Yue Hong, so when Yue Hong played this role, she was full of the excitement of a young actor. Yue Hong's performance in the film won the Best Actress Award at the 6th China Film Golden Rooster Awards, and at the same time won the first Society Award of the China Film Performance Society. In addition, Yue Hong played the image of Yang Guizhen with her skillful acting skills in the film "Eight Women Cast into the River", and won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Bayi Film Studio Hundred Flowers Award. Yue Hong also created many characters with different identities and personalities in films such as "Little Island" and "Female Assassin", with vivid performances and strong life, which are loved by the audience.

In April 2002, Yue Hong was diagnosed with stomach cancer after being diagnosed with stomach discomfort, and began to come back after successfully curbing the disease after surgery. The author was originally apprehensive about this topic, but I didn't expect Yue Hong to be very calm, she said: "Cancer can't stop me from filming, this is the fourth TV series I have filmed since I got sick." The first few parts were a little easier, and this one was very hard. I am the protagonist, I have to shoot from Qinghai to the Northeast, and many scenes are performed from beginning to end. Talking about the impact of illness on herself, she said: "At least I understand one truth, the happiest thing in life is to have a healthy body. Now I pay more attention to my health, pay attention to my diet and rest. The crew's diet is not very regular, so I prepare some food by myself and often take a break between shooting. "When filming a scene in Qinghai where the first criminal was captured, the location was Daxue Mountain, which was 4,000 meters above sea level. Halfway through the shoot, the wind suddenly blew and it snowed heavily. Yue Hong suddenly fell to the snow and didn't move for a long time. The crew stepped over more than half a meter of snow and quickly hung an oxygen bag on her, and she recovered two hours later. Yue Hong was very happy to shoot in Chengdu: "I am from Chengdu, and I am very happy to be able to shoot here for such a long time. Although I have very little free time, I can sneak home to see my parents after a late-night shoot. My parents sometimes come to see me on set. “

The screenwriter of "Chasing You to the Edge of the Sky" is Yu Zhong, a young director who has become famous in the film industry in recent years. "Switching" from movies to TV series, of course, is also to grasp the story, especially the fate of ordinary people is always Yu Zhong's unchanging "proposition". The play depicts a true story that happened in Jingzhou, Hubei Province and other places: a mother resolutely decided to use her own strength to catch the "criminals" - 5 young people who accidentally killed their sons in a group fight. In the process of pursuit, the woman from a peasant family experienced all kinds of hardships and tribulations, and at the same time, the "criminal" who was chased began to undergo subtle emotional changes, the hatred weakened, and more of the mother's understanding and self-blame for the mistakes committed by the children, and the mother's personality was further sublimated. "Chasing You to the Edge of the Sky" is a documentary-style TV series. In the past few years, a very important feature of realistic dramas is dialect, and some dramas even have dialects from beginning to end. The drama "Chasing" also retains this characteristic, and also "carries forward" this one, because the plot spans 9 provinces, there will be a variety of dialects in the play. Yue Hong has performed a lot of "Sichuan-style dramas", and the response is very good, and audiences outside the southwestern dialect area also love to watch it, but she thinks this time is different: "Compared with "Gold Rush" and "The Crooked Biography of Wang Baochang", it is completely different. She said that due to the realistic style of this play, dialect has become a part of character building, and as the people in the play have footprints in 9 provinces and cities such as Yunnan and Guangxi, the language environment of the extras is also changing, and the protagonist uses the original "Sichuan Mandarin", and the whole play is very inclusive of language and very informative, not simply using dialect as a tool.

Finally, I wish this "wind and rain beauty" to take care of her body and a safe life!

The "Amani" in my heart

——Interview with the famous female film actress Qu Yun

When I was a child, a female film actress portrayed a mother figure that I still remember. She is Amani in the movie "Surprise Attack", Aunt Feng in "Bitter Cauliflower" - Qu Yun, a famous actress from Bayi Film Studio.

More than 20 years later, on a crisp autumn day on the occasion of the centenary of Chinese film, I finally met the "Amani" in my heart.

Qu Yun is a native of Muping, Shandong. She joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1946 and served as a drama actor in the Jiaodong Cultural Association Art Troupe, and in 1956 she was transferred to the Bayi Film Studio Actors Troupe as an actor.

When the movie "Bitter Cauliflower" was filmed in 1964, Qu Yun was only in her 30s and in her prime, but the vicissitudes of her "mother" in the play made her image on the screen stereotyped-a hard-working elderly woman. More than 30 years have passed, and when it comes to this film that has written a brilliant chapter in her acting career, Qu Yun still remembers it vividly, and the most memorable thing for her is that she learned two skills in order to play her mother: weaving and shooting.

Qu Yun recalled: "At that time, the plot required me to weave, but I couldn't. I found a family in a small village far away who was weaving cloth in new clothes waiting for the Spring Festival, and I asked to learn from them. At that time, cotton thread and shuttles on looms were very expensive, so people didn't let me weave. I helped their family with the work, helped them fetch water, burned the fire and swept the floor, and finally they agreed. I went to weave cloth at night, and they drew big circles everywhere in their village, because there were wolves at night, and I was afraid, so I borrowed a flashlight and went to the dark. Once, because I was afraid of wolves, I fell down a slope and broke my handle. As a result, I knitted three zhang cloth for his family. However, practicing shooting obviously made Qu Yun gain more. At the end of the film, Aunt Feng picked up a gun and killed the traitor, Qu Yun didn't know how to shoot at that time, so he had to go to the shooting range to practice three points and one line. "I trained very hard and ended up being a Grade 3 athlete!"

Over the past few decades, in addition to Amani in the movie "Surprise Attack" and Aunt Feng in "Bitter Cauliflower", Qu Yun has created many glorious images of elderly women. Such as Dongsheng Niang in "Cuckoo Urging Spring", Zheng Mu in "Tianshan Xing", Aunt Hua in "Medicine", Grandma in "Lost Song", Aunt Jin in "Jin Bu Chang", etc. He also participated in the filming of TV series such as "Spring Water Flows Silently", "Tianlun", "Good Father and Good Mother", "Heart Road", "Never Look Back", "People" and so on.

The characters created by Qu Yun are calm and simple, and they are full of kindness in shrewdness and generosity. Especially the inner drama, the performance is natural and real, and it can be seen that she has worked "god-like". Qu Yun's efforts have also been recognized by the audience. When Qu Yunxia troops performed, the soldiers affectionately called her "Oriental Mother"; In 1980, when she went to Singapore with a Chinese film delegation to participate in a retrospective of Chinese films, a local newspaper called her "Chinese mother". In addition to film and television performances, Qu Yun is also good at writing poems. When Qu Yun was filming the TV series "Waves and Red Dust" in Sichuan, he was infected by the magnificent scenery of Sichuan, and happily wrote a poem "The clouds and mist are flying between Emei, and the tourists are drunk and green." The beautiful scenery of the good mountains is not enough, and the nostalgia for the sunset is forgotten".

In his later years, Qu Yun was also fascinated by painting. In that year, Bayi Factory set up a branch of the General Political College for the Elderly, and she and her wife signed up for a calligraphy and painting class. In 1997, when Zhongshan Park Gallery held the "Contemporary Movie Star Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition", several of Qu Yun's works were also selected for the exhibition.

Moonlit phoenix bamboo

——Visit the famous singer Guan Mucun

Biography of the protagonist: A native of Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, Manchu, member of the Communist Party of China, master's degree, born in Xinxiang, Henan Province in 1953. He worked as a worker in Tianjin in 1970, graduated from the Vocal Opera Department of the Central Conservatory of Music in 1987, and served as an actor in the Tianjin Song and Dance Troupe and Tianjin Song and Dance Theater in 1977. National first-class actors, enjoy special national allowances. He has successively served as a member of the Chinese Musicians Association, a director of the Tianjin Musicians Association, a member of the Standing Committee of the All-China Youth Federation, and a vice chairman of the Tianjin Youth Federation. He is a member of the 7th to 9th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Guan Mucun is a well-known mezzo-soprano singer in China's music scene, and middle-aged people over 40 years old feel particularly familiar and cordial with her and the songs she sings. As early as the 70s of the 20th century, she was in her prime, and she became famous in the land of China with beautiful and popular songs such as "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight", "Singing with a Tambourine", "Toasting Song", "The Grapes of Turpan are Ripe".

One

I met her husband Wang Xingjun (who later divorced) and then Guan Mucun. Although she was already well-known in the singing world at that time, she was well-known as a singer, but she was approachable, amiable, and virtuous.

On November 6, 1953, in the pastoral village on the bank of Weishui in Xinxiang, Henan, a girl was born in a family with a cultural atmosphere in this village with the cry of wawa. His father was an editor of a magazine, and his mother was a music teacher. In honor of the child's birthplace, the parents named the child Makimura. Guan Mu Village, a quaint and poetic name.

Guan Mucun, like many of her contemporaries, has gone through a lot of hardships, but these have not affected her dedication to music in the slightest, but have strengthened her perseverance and determination to continue along the road of musical success. At the beginning of the 60s, our country experienced a natural disaster unprecedented in many years, which caused great hardship to every family. Guan Mucun, who is young and has not yet developed well, naturally cannot escape the injustice brought by fate to everyone. However, in the predicament of starvation, with an unswerving sacred belief in music, she signed up for vocal tutoring and training in the Tianjin Little Red Flower Art Troupe as soon as she entered the third grade of primary school. She received the patient and meticulous vocal enlightenment of the group's teacher Su Yong and his wife in this small music garden, and it was the pair who accidentally discovered the unique voice of Guan Mucun and the characteristics of a wide vocal range, and carefully guided it, worked hard and pragmatically, and laid a solid foundation for his professional improvement.

Slightly older, Guan Mucun studied in Tianjin No. 6-9 Middle School, and because of the professional level accumulated by the Little Red Flower Art Troupe in the past few years, he was soon selected to participate in the art show for primary and secondary school students organized by Tianjin. Guan Mucun talked about the road to the music world, and she said with emotion that she was influenced by her mother's love for music. In the past, my mother's family was well-off, and she specially hired a Belarusian teacher to teach her mother to learn vocal music. She said that it was because of her mother's influence that she had a good "understanding" of music. At the same time, she also smiled and said that her mother was once her supernumerary music teacher, who gave her great help and encouragement on the arduous road of art.

In 1970, after graduating from junior high school, Guan Mucun was assigned to Tianjin Iron and Steel Plant as an apprentice for seven years. In addition to going to work every day, she practices singing. In 1978, it was a major turning point in Guan Mucun's life, she entered the Tianjin Song and Dance Troupe, became a professional actor, and in just four or five years, Guan Mucun won the favor of thousands of listeners with her unique singing style and talent, and became famous and famous in the music world.

Two

A good singer must not only have a one-point "inspiration" for music, but also have a naturally good voice. At the same time, it is essential to have a correct understanding and interpretation of a work. Guan Mucun also eloquently expressed some of her heartfelt feelings in singing over the years, she said, a song sung by different people will also produce different singing effects, whether to move the audience, win the audience, is a test of an actor's comprehensive quality in the art of singing. She has said this for many years, and she has done the same, people should treat life strictly in life, and actors must rely on elegant singing art to infect and get close to the audience. She especially likes the Buddhist culture that advocates the idea of indifference to fame and fortune, and the idea that people and things should be lenient. She said that as a person in the entertainment industry, actors should be meticulous and down-to-earth to do a good job in their profession and do their job well. Be upright and upright, and remember to be worthy of the audience who loves you.

Guan Mucun's singing style belongs to natural and fresh, national singing techniques. In her years of artistic practice, she still faintly feels that she has some shortcomings in professional singing that are not easy for outsiders to see. In view of this, she was never satisfied with the field of singing art, and once again came to the Central Conservatory of Music, the cradle of cultivating singers, to study under Professor Shen Xiang, a famous vocal music educator in China who is well-known at home and abroad. Mr. Shen has a deep knowledge in vocal education, and she particularly emphasized that Guan Mucun should better master scientific and advanced pronunciation methods, and appropriately incorporate the parts of bel canto singing that are more suitable for ethnic singing methods in his original singing style, so as to combine the two to the greatest extent. After two years of systematic training and Mr. Shen's high-level training, the singer has finally improved by leaps and bounds in his singing skills, so that the old audience in the past can feel the deep impression of Guan Mucun's singing to a higher level.

After this study, Guan Mucun has a better understanding of the singing of his own songs in the past. Over the years, her singing style, which pursues naturalness without any traces of artificiality, has gradually formed. What is refreshing to fans is that the same song, the artistic effect of singing now is like flowing water, tactfully listening, and at the same time it is very rich in an inner beauty, and a qualitative leap has taken place in the use of vocal skills.

Guan Mucun recalled the late famous composer Mr. Shi Guangnan, with a solemn puzzle on his face. She said that it is not easy for a singer to meet a composer who suits his style in his artistic youth. And I am a lucky star, and I happened to meet Mr. Shi Guangnan, I think there may be fate between us! She likes almost every song composed by Shi Guangnan from the bottom of her heart, and feels that it suits her singing style. As it turned out, it was these songs that brought her countless flowers and wine. For example, the audience loves to listen to "The Grapes of Turpan are Ripe", "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight", "Sister's Heart", "The Place of Peacock Longing", "Playing the Tambourine and Singing", "The Prairie in May" and so on. Mr. Shi Guangnan's songs are recognized as both national and highly appreciative of art, the content is healthy and uplifting, inspiring people to forge ahead, and full of praise for the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland. Singing his songs is like a fish in water for Guan Mucun. This was confirmed by Mr. Shi Guangnan during his lifetime. Guan Mucun recalled the cooperation with his teacher, and especially mentioned more than a dozen good works that can be called highly national and artistic, such as "There is a Acacia Willow in My Hometown" and "If You Want to Know Me", which are widely sung by people. Most of these songs were first auditioned by Guan Mucun, and Mr. Shi Guangnan was particularly satisfied with the effect of the audition and treatment, and he said excitedly many times during the audition: "The intention and effect of your singing are what I conceived in my heart." ”

After Mr. Shi Guangnan passed away, several singers tried to sing a verse of the opera "Qu Yuan" written by him: "Why don't you make me panic...... a large aria", but the results of their audition were not satisfactory. At this time, it was Guan Mucun's turn, and she accurately expressed Nanhou's jealousy, cunning and other emotions through a proper grasp of the role, and the artistic effect was very good, and was unanimously praised by the experts present. The famous female conductor Zheng Xiaoying humorously said to her: "Shi Guangnan's opera was written especially for you." ”

As an envoy of Chinese national culture, she has visited Japan, the United States, Sweden, Denmark, Thailand, Singapore, Cyprus and Hong Kong many times and regions, and has been invited to participate in artistic exchanges and performances. One of the most memorable events, she said, was a visit to Phoenix, USA. It has always been a major gathering area for Taiwanese businessmen in the United States, and few mainland artists visited it in the past. Therefore, they know very little about the Motherland. "Since I went there, through my singing, I have let Taiwanese people who have lived in the United States for a long time understand that the Chinese culture has a long history. After the performance, Mr. Wang, a Taiwanese businessman with gray temples and a very old age, took my hand and said affectionately: "I am very proud of China to have a world-class mezzo-soprano singer like you, and you have won glory for our descendants of Yan and Huang." The words made my heart flutter, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time. ”
