There is such a classic old movie, there is no gorgeous publicity, but as soon as its name is mentioned, fans and friends are always full of praise. This movie is "Lin Family Shop". It tells the story of the life of a resident of a small town in Jiahu, Zhejiang Province, in the old society and the dark social environment. The plot of the film is full of twists and turns, but it is interlocked and intriguing.
A good movie that succeeds is closely related to the team behind the scenes. The original work of "Lin Jia Puzi" is Mr. Mao Dun, and after Xia Yan's adaptation, coupled with a good director like Shui Hua, it is really difficult to watch. Director Shui Hua is a well-known director in the film circle who "slow work and fine work". But in my opinion, it is precisely because of such a serious and careful "slow" that many fine products have been photographed. He often shoots multiple times for the same shot, in order to be perfect.
A good movie, in addition to the careful polishing of the team behind the scenes, how do the actors who appear in front of the stage perform? Sometimes it is the key to the success or failure of a movie. Xie Tian, Lin Bin, Ma Wei, three good actors, formed the Lin Boss family, and they also became the main promoters in the development of the plot. And Zhang Liang, Yu Lan, Han Tao, Liang Xin, these excellent supporting actors, are even more with the green leaves of red flowers, which play a role in setting off the protagonist. It is also in the joint efforts of all actors that "Lin Jia Puzi" has become an eternal classic.
Xie Tian played Boss Lin in "Lin Family Shop". This is a very controversial image, because he cannot completely distinguish between good and bad. What a paradoxical figure, as an industrialist and businessman of the exploiting class, he is exploited by the officials at the top, but at the same time he has no choice but to oppress other poor masses in order to survive. And it is such a complex image that Xie Tian portrays into three points. His superb acting skills are impressive.
As a spectator, I could see in his eyes the shrewdness and cunning of an ordinary businessman, as well as cowardice and helplessness. Boss Lin's back at the end of the film, riding away in a boat in the wind and rain, made me think for a long time, where will he go? Will he come back? Such an open-ended ending left a suspense for many viewers.
Xie Tianke is really a good actor. Before filming "Lin JiaPuzi", he honed his acting skills in many movies such as "Wind and Snow Taihang Mountain", "The Legend of the New Children's Heroes", "Sacred Domain", "Kite" and so on. The role of Boss Lin in "Lin Family Shop" can be said to have brought Xie Tian's acting talent as an actor to the peak. Since then, he has spent more time as a director, and has only played roles in several films such as "Honghu Red Guards", "Spring Blossoms", and "The Old Man and the Dog". As a director, he is also a series of excellent works, such as "Honghu Red Guard" and "Sweet Cause", which are also popular and good movies.
I remember that in 1996, the 82-year-old Xie Tian also appeared in Chen Kaige's work "Wind and Moon". The performing artist, who was once listed as one of the "22 Movie Stars", died in Beijing on December 13, 2003, at the age of 89.
In "Lin Family Shop", Lin Daniang, the wife of Boss Lin, the director chose Lin Bin, an old actor from the film studio, to play. I think every character in "Lin Jia Puzi" is very interesting, that is, it is basically full of contradictions. The same is true of Lin Da Niang. For example, she is a person who has no idea about doing things, and when she encounters problems, she will only ask God to worship Buddha. However, when her most beloved daughter was in difficulty, she showed unprecedented decisiveness and immediately decided to marry her daughter to a reliable partner Shousheng.
Lin Bin is actually not from the acting school, but a student of the Department of Economics, but she has loved literature and art since she was a child, so she has devoted herself to the ranks of actors. Her performances in films such as "Lin Chong", "Nurse's Diary", and "Little Characters" have impressed us. She always seems to play some very soft roles, such as playing with Sun Daolin in "The City That Never Sleeps". In 1981, Lin Bin played the role of a female teacher in the movie "Bashan Night Rain", and her excellent acting skills made her and several other supporting actors win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor collective award. In 2014, Lin Bin died of illness at the age of 89.
In "Lin Family Shop", the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Mingxiu, is mentioned, and her life is also very emotional. The role is played by Ma Wei. At the beginning of the film, it is a scene between Lin Mingxiu and Lin Daniang, from this scene of mother-daughter love, we not only understand the general environment at that time, but also feel Lin Mingxiu's pampered personality. And Ma Wei, who plays Lin Mingxiu, I think she is also a good actor. Not only are people beautiful, but the acting is also natural and smooth, unforgettable.
Ma Wei was in her youth at that time, and it was the time to produce good works. She was originally a dancer at the Central Experimental Opera House, and after filming "Lin Jia Puzi", she also appeared in an art documentary "White Phoenix Chaoyang" and presented the program "Banquet Song" as a dancer. In fact, on Ma Wei's terms, she could have starred in more movies, but she later went to Ningxia. At that time, the motherland called on aspiring young people to "support the frontier", and Ma Wei actively signed up to respond to the call with practical actions. For that alone, I think we should pay tribute to her.
Ma Wei was born in 1935, so according to age, she is now 85 years old, but I don't know if she is okay now? What's the situation?
Speaking of the success of the movie "Lin Jia Puzi", I think it is directly related to the meticulous performance of each of the supporting characters. When they create characters, they are basically deliberated repeatedly, and a small action may become a stroke of God. But I don't know if you remember those small characters in it?
In "Lin Family Shop", the famous performance artist Yu Lan successfully portrayed the cowardly widow Zhang. This seemingly unimportant supporting role constantly touches our hearts. Especially after Boss Lin escaped, she cried wildly in front of the store, and unfortunately, the child Ah Mao was trampled to death in the panicked crowd, which made her nerves completely collapse. In the performance of this play, Yu Lan completely gave up on herself and brought the audience into the prescribed scene, so that we truly felt the misery and sorrow of a mother.
Yu Lan, one of China's "22 movie stars". We have recognized her superb acting skills in films such as "Revolutionary Family", "Longsugou", "Cuigang Red Flag" and so on. In particular, the "Sister Jiang" in "Eternal Life in the Fire" has become a classic screen image in the hearts of generations of audiences. In the previous article, we also told the story of the Overly Blue family.
Yu Lan loved the film business very much, and it was not until the age of 80 that he retired from the Chinese Children's Film, which he founded. In 2019, at the age of 98, she also participated in the movie "Everything Like You" with Qin Yi, Tian Hua, Yu Yang, etc., who are also "22 big stars". On June 27, 2020, Yu Lan died of illness in Beijing at the age of 99, which deeply distressed all fans.
In "Lin Family Shop", we also saw the figure of an old actor, he is Zhang Liang, who played the role of Shousheng. Born in 1935, he was a young actor at the North Film Studio. But he did an excellent job of performing. Just right for us to create the image of a simple and humble lad. Since then, Zhang Liang has participated in films such as "Xiyingmen". Later he also worked as a director. Today, he is 85 years old, living in a nursing home in Beijing with his wife Niu Xin, and has met many old friends.
Han Tao, who plays Chairman Yu, may feel a little strange to some friends, but he is the actor who has cooperated with director Xie Jin the most. It is said that those old actors at that time are really very different from those traffic stars now, and things like "competing for positions" will fundamentally appear. Han Tao is a good actor who never competes for a position, plays any role he gives, and plays a very good role, willing to be a good green leaf. It is a pity that in 1968, Han Tao, who was only 52 years old, unfortunately died young.
Let's review some of the other supporting characters.
Zhao Ziyue, the people's artist, played countless small roles in his life, and died of illness in 1997 at the age of 88. Feng Shun, who played lu monk, another "golden supporting role" of The North Film Studio, died of illness on January 18, 1999 at the age of 78. The statement that played the Shanghai businessman, one of the most famous villain actors in China, died of illness on October 17, 2006, at the age of 86. There is also Shao Hua, who played Qian, who later successfully portrayed the image of Mrs. Qi in the 85th edition of "Four Worlds Together", and he also died in 1991 at the age of 72.
"Lin Jia Puzi", the story that took place in a small town in Jiangnan, now 61 years later, is still so clearly preserved in our minds, once again proving that the real classics will never fade because of the change of time, but like old wine, lasting fragrance. This can't help but make us miss those late old artists, it is their meticulous creation that has led to the birth of this masterpiece. Here, let's pay tribute to them! At the same time, I also wish Ma Wei and Zhang Liang good health and all the best! Dear friends, do you remember any scenes and actors in the movie?
