Original DJ Yaqing DJ Yaqing
The Secret Whistle of Yangcheng is a thrilling feature film shot by Shanghai Haiyan Film Studio in 1957. The film is based on a real case. Lu Jue is the director and Zhao Huanzhang is the deputy director. After the film was released, it became one of the most popular films in 1957. I think the most important reasons are probably two points. One is that the suspense of the film is set very well. In the ups and downs of the plot, the unexpected suspense is skillfully arranged in it, which has played a fascinating and gripping artistic effect.
Another reason is the star effect.
The actor who plays the leading actor Wang Lian in the film is Feng Zhe. He was one of the most influential movie stars in the film studio that year. Previously, he had made outstanding performances in films such as "War in the North", "People in Huaishang" and "flying tigers". Feng Zhe is handsome in appearance and elegant in temperament, and belongs to the standard image of a handsome man. And his performance in "Yangcheng Anshao" is natural, vivid and simple, which shows Wang Lian’s composure, wit and calmness.
In addition, "Yangcheng anshao" also brought together a large group of superb old opera bones from Shanghai Film Factory. For example, Di Fan, who plays the female spy Babu, Xia Ma, Liang Ming, who plays the female spy Mei Yi, Ling Yun, who plays the fairy, Han Tao, who plays Chen Baizhi, and Huanqing Li, who plays Li Xiuying, all have outstanding performances in the film. Up to now, Di Fan’s graceful posture and Liang Ming’s sly eyes remain in the hearts of fans.
So, who plays the heroine and female scout Liang Ying in "Yangcheng Underguard"? She is now 91-year-old Hongxia.
Speaking of Hongxia, maybe many young fans are not very familiar with her. After all, she was not the most famous actress in the star-studded studio. Compared with poplars, Zhang Ruifang, Qin Yi, Shang Guanyunzhu and Wang Danfeng, her representative works are not too many.
However, what we don’t know is that at the beginning of the establishment of Shanghai Film Factory, Hongxia was once one of Hua Dan, who was mainly trained by Shanghai Film Factory. Her pretty image and pure temperament make her the first choice for leading ladies in many films.
So, for so many years, where did Hongxia, the former "beautiful young girl", go? What about her physical condition and mental state now?
Today, let’s follow Yaqing and go to the Actors’ Troupe of Shanghai Film Factory to find out.
Hongxia is from Hebei. My ancestral home is Raoyang, Hebei. She was born in Beijing in 1931. Her original name was Hong Wenxia. She has shown great acting talent since she was a child. At the age of 13, he was selected by the Academy of Film and Art for his excellent imitation ability and began to learn acting. In 1945, Hong Xia, who was only 14 years old, played a bit part in the movie "Hunjianglong Li Jun". This is her first time on the screen.
In 1947, Hongxia came to Shanghai and began to emerge in the Shanghai film circle. She has played roles in films such as Where is the Spring Return, The Mute Wife, The Uncaged Spring, Unity of Hearts, Corrosion, etc. Although they all play supporting roles. However, she has learned too much performance experience from Wang Renmei, Zhao Dan and other predecessors, and at the same time, she has shown some ability to shape roles.
After the founding of New China, Hongxia became a member of the actor troupe of Shanghai Film Factory. She was positioned as an "innocent girl", and played Xiaoyu in My Life directed by Shi Hui, Li Keng in There’s a Family directed by Sang Hu and Shangmei in Sister Stand Up directed by Chen Xihe. Her performance is very vivid, which vividly shows the industriousness and simplicity of the daughters of poor families.
And she really took the lead, which was filmed 65 years ago in "Yangcheng AnShao". Hongxia was 26 years old this year, in her prime, and her acting skills tended to be mature and steady. She devoted herself to the creation of the heroine Liang Ying with an extremely mental state. In the end, with the natural and clever performance, the audience was presented with the image of a gentle but determined female scout, which was unforgettable.
At the same time, her cooperation with the famous actress Feng Zhe in the film is also very tacit. The two men established a deep friendship. Since then, whenever I talk about Feng Zhe, Hongxia feels deeply regretful, even saying that he left too early.
At that time, Hongxia’s face value was also at its peak, and her beautiful face, Zhou Zheng’s facial features and refreshing hairstyle all revealed elegance and gentleness. After the release of "The Assault of Yangcheng", the audience remembered not only Feng Zhe, Di Fan, Liang Ming and other actors, but also Hongxia, a beautiful Hua Dan.
In 1958, Hongxia starred in two films, one was A Well-off Family, with Han Fei as the leading actor and heroine. One is "Who is the Abandoned Man", with Li Wei as the leading actor and heroine. Among them, "Who is the Abandoned Man" may be relatively more familiar to everyone. It tells the story of an urban youth who was corroded by bourgeois ideas, and in order to win the favor of beautiful girls in big cities, he did not hesitate to abandon the countryside to get a wife. Hongxia plays the beautiful and generous city girl Chen Zuoqin.
Her appearance in the film is very beautiful and full of vigor and vitality. And she showed a clear love and hate, which left a very unforgettable impression on everyone. After the film was released, it caused quite a stir. Hongxia also has more fans.
Since then, as the main actress of Shanghai Film Studio, she has also appeared in films such as The Veteran’s Biography, Nie Er, Moyadai, Family Problems, Sons, Grandsons and Seeds, and created images of female tractor drivers, housewives, Dai women, factory women and farm women.
After entering the 1980s, Hongxia, who is over half a century old, once again ushered in her golden period of creation. Although she is no longer a "beautiful young girl" at this time, she has no sense of disobedience in transforming into a "screen aunt". She successively played the wife of an old horse in They and They, Tang Lihua in The Blue Archives, Gu Dajie in Wait for the Red Leaves on the Mountain, Chen Dajie in July, Wang Ersao in Fourth-class Station, and her mother-in-law in The Boyfriend of the Director-General, all of which left us very unforgettable.
Since 1988, after retirement, Hongxia has rarely appeared on the screen again. So where has she been all these years?
In fact, Hongxia has never gone far. She has always been in Shanghai, and she has always been a member of the actor troupe of Shanghai Film Factory. I remember that Yaqing mentioned Hongxia in an article before. The old man also left me a message in the background of the media through a private letter, expressing his heartfelt thanks to Yaqing. At that time, I was really surprised and moved. Because I didn’t expect that an old man close to ninety years old would be so considerate. But also surf the internet, and the elderly are well aware of the media that young people prefer. It is really admirable.
Aunt Hongxia is 91 years old this year. Recently, we saw her again in the activities organized by the actors’ troupe of Shanghai Film Factory. It’s been a long time. It’s really rare. What is even more rare is that the elderly are not only in good health, but also in a very good mental state. In order to take part in this activity, the old man specially made a hairstyle and put on beautiful clothes. He was also clear-headed about the questions raised by the current head of delegation, Tong Ruixin, and was ready to answer questions and laugh.
Ya Qing is very happy to see the teacher Hongxia with white hair now. I’m glad to see her again after 65 years of the release of "Yangcheng Underguard", happy for her health, happy for the warm smile on her face, and happy for her happiness and smoothness. I think all the friends who like old movies are in the same mood as Yaqing at the moment, right?
So, do you remember Miss Hongxia? Do you still remember her beautiful appearance in the movies such as "Yangcheng Underguard" and "Who is the Abandoned Man"? Welcome everyone to interact with more fans through the message area. I’m Yaqing. Thank you again for your attention. Friends remember to like, collect and share. "Open the memory and relive the classics", Yaqing will be here every day to spend a good time with everyone. I’ll see you tomorrow.
