Last night, I watched "Zhenzhen's Hair House" filmed by Qingying Studio in 1986, which tells the story of the loss and ups and downs of love and career experienced by the self-employed young woman Zhenzhen in the process of opening the hair house, and through the fierce competition and mutual help and mutual understanding between the self-employed youth, it reflects that the self-employed are not a bunch of people who only recognize money, they also strongly pursue their own life and the value of life.
Zhenzhen is an unemployed young man who failed the college entrance examination twice, and her sister advised her to sell her house and eat the interest on her deposits, but she did not want to spend her life like that. Zhenzhen runs a hair house, intertwined with complex motives. There is not only a side of gambling and competing for strengths and weaknesses, but also the pursuit of careers and ideals. Cai Xiang, the boyfriend who was once in love, left her, why Cai Xiang hurt Zhenzhen, the film did not explain, but used the intervention of Cai Xiang's sister to constantly hint and strengthen the suspense, but in the end there was no card. In order to run a hair salon, she invited Amin, a young man from Guangzhou and a special barber who claimed to have returned from studying art in Japan, to be a master. Her hair house is reasonably charged, genuinely courteous, and with urgent customers, she hires taxis to get to her destination. She played the service card, coupled with Amin's new barbering skills, and the hair house business was booming. This aroused the jealousy of the neighboring "hairdresser's house" owner Dayong and the suspicion of other self-employed youth.
Zhenzhen's ex-boyfriend Cai Xiang
Someone spread rumors to slander her, and someone took a brick and tried to smash the façade of the house. In the face of the light fight between peers and the personal attacks brought about by unfounded rumors, Zhenzhen has experienced ups and downs in her career, and her personal emotional life has also fallen into difficulties. She develops feelings for Amin, but discovers that Amin already has a fiancée. But all this, she survived. Its spiritual pillar is the persistent pursuit of the value of life and the strong belief in creating a better life. She was reluctant to give the second-rate child a strange haircut, and when Amin used the delay time to "retaliate" because of the different situation with female college students, she tore up her face and sharply criticized him; when the competition won and caused the "hair salon" to be on the verge of closure, she extended a helping hand, so that Miao Miao, the apprentice of Da Yong, learned from Amin, and after completing the study, she let Miao Miao return to the Dayong Hair Salon to revive her business. She also preferred to lose her hair house and supported Amin to return to Guangzhou with his fiancée.
Amin
Amin and Zhenzhen are employed, and there is no relationship between them. Zhenzhen is for the prosperity of the house, and Amin takes the commission. The film almost does not let Zhenzhen and Amin say a word of love to each other, but through the entrustment of affection, delicate and euphemistic performance, it clearly makes us feel that the two sides have feelings. Ah Ming is really sleek in the middle, and when he first arrived at the hair house, he said that the treatment was sound and colorful, and later his affection and his sorrow were all in the "saxophone" music. Amin's first blow was shortly after the opening of the hair house, there were few customers, and he blew a few boring blows, which was a detrimental relief and loneliness to the teacher. The second time was in the face of Zhenzhen's sincerity and fraternity, Amin sat on the sofa and blew out his own guilt and apology, Zhenzhen listened silently by the curtain, and two young hearts collided. The third time was when Zhenzhen heard Dayong's angry words, and her relationship with Amin wanted to advance and retreat. Amin blew out a lonely body on the balcony, feeling lonely. The fourth time was after Amin listened to the college student and Zhenzhen talk about the value of life, and the high tone played Amin's heart song of determination to sail in the future life. The last time is at the end of the film, When Jane goes to the airport to bid farewell to Amin, and saxophone music, despite being a voiceover, shows that Jane's reason triumphs over emotion.
The film's two plot threads are staggered, one is the rise and fall of the hair house, and the other is Zhenzhen's pursuit of life value and ideals. The rise and fall of the hair house is only the material level of the story, and the pursuit and realization of the ideal is the spiritual level. I feel that the film has made great efforts to describe the spiritual journey of Zhenzhen zhenzhen and seeking truth. Zhenzhen's heart is always intertwined with contradictions, and there is always a conflict between being human and self-interested in her heart. Saying that Zhenzhen gambled and ran a hair house is personal self-interest, she rented a car to let female college students attend the meeting is a special benefit? Simple moral judgments don't seem to apply. Judging from the plot of the "hair salon" on the verge of closure and lending a helping hand, I personally feel that the character image of Zhenzhen is idealistic. Although her behavior is a mirror for the mercenary, the spiritual realm of the self-employed in reality is different. Of course, as a film, Zhenzhen's image has a certain positive social significance. In addition, it feels that the processing of the end is heavier. When Amin leaves, Zhenzhen has forgiven Cai Xiang, but the film allows him to accept Huang Ling's love against his heart, to taste the bitter fruit of marriage without love, so that Zhenzhen, who intends to return to the good, is lost in love again, which is probably not in line with the logic of character development.
I remember that Kwong Ping, who played Zhenzhen, was a Pearl Shadow actor at that time, but not a formal actor, but an hired worker. The first film I saw her was the 1979 long film "Wedding on the Execution Ground", in which she played the role of Li'er. There is a scene that is more impressive, the traitor "Tong Ruimin" is led to an ambush by the underground party to escape, she angrily opens her eyes and executes him, ha. In addition, there are several films, such as the daughter of "Tian Chengren" in the long film "Spring Sleep Is Not Aware", the nanny role in "The Girl from Huangshan", the screenwriter role of Zhuying "Filmmaker", and the daughter of "Guo Yuntai" in "Misty World", who co-starred with Hasbagan. Among them, the cast list of "Misty World" and "Girl from Huangshan Mountain" uses the stage name "Milan". She quit working in business in the late 1980s. Yin Guohua, who plays Amin, estimates that many fans do not know that he was a Peking Opera actor who sang laosheng in his early years. Later, he was admitted to the acting department of Shanghai Theater Academy, and after graduation, he worked as an actor in the Guangdong Provincial Drama Theatre. However, he is not from Guangdong, but from Northeast China, Harbin, Heilongjiang. In addition to the fakuya movie, I have also seen him perform in films such as "Wanted Order", "General Steel File", "Prosecution" and so on, and there was a costume comedy in the 80s called "Strange Coincidence", he played the male lead, a Jiangnan talent role, I can't remember exactly. Do you have an impression of these two actors?
