Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"Not only should it be beautiful, but it should also make people want to protect it!"

Lin Zhengjun said, "When all gay men watch movies, they want to replace the male protagonist and say, oh, if I meet a girl like this, I will protect her for the rest of my life. If anyone dares to touch a hair on her, I will kill her whole family! Do you understand?"

"Oh? Is there such a pretty girl in the world?"

The three of them looked at each other, all confused.

Lin Zhengjun found Tang Xiaofu's room, kissed her, hugged her and lifted her up a few times, then went with her to the small conference room in the main building for a meeting.

……

Beijing Film Studio, small conference room.

The crew of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" was officially established.

Director Xie Tieli, photographer Li Wenhua.

Li Wenhua has been the photographer of "The Red Detachment of Women" since 1970. This year he also shot a scar movie "Tears", which was quite bold and won an award later.

Other costumes, props, art, lighting, etc. are also well matched.

When Lin Zhengjun and Tang Xiaofu walked into the conference room, everyone applauded and welcomed them. Then they were arranged to sit next to Xie Tieli, showing great importance.

This guy produces works so quickly. Both of the scripts he wrote for Great Wall have been approved, and he is also going to write "The Shepherd" for Shanghai Film Studio. He already has the flavor of a rising star in the literary world!

"Let me tell you one thing first. Director Wang Yang approved 70 yuan for the filming of Under the Hawthorn Tree."

Xie Tieli smiled happily and said, "This is treating this play as a key project of our studio this year. The support is huge!"

Everyone was excited and talked among themselves.

Xie Tieli said: "Okay, now all the main creators have been given a list of actors. They are our backup actors. There are students from drama troupes, Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama. They are already waiting in the rehearsal room. Let's go and select them later..."

Lin Zhengjun picked up the information and saw that they were all "acquaintances".

Class of 1976, Central Academy of Drama, Director Qi Xu Yajun.

Children's Art Theater, Chen Baoguo.

He also graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and was Xu Yajun's senior. Xu Yajun also had a classmate named Cai Guoqing, who failed to become an actor because he did not have the flavor of a worker, peasant or soldier, so he later turned to singing.

Beijing Film Academy, Class of 1978: Zhou Lijing, Zhang Tielin, Zhang Fengyi, Xie Yuan, Fang Shu, Shen Danping, and Liu Dong.

Beijing Film Studio: Liu Xiaoqing, Li Xiuming, Zhang Jinling.

Shanghai International Studies University, Chen Chong.

Bayi Film Studio: Tang Guoqiang, Chen Peisi!

Hey, Chen Xiaoer, why are you joining in the fun?

Do you think you can play the third brother with that image?

It is important for people to know themselves!

National Institute of Biomedical Testing, National Academy of Medical Sciences: Zhu Lin.

Xie Tieli said: "Zhengjun and Xiaofu are the authors of the novel and script. Before casting, let's first listen to their understanding of the characters, okay?"

Everyone applauds.

When the applause stopped, Lin Zhengjun said, "My requirements for Jingqiu are that she must be beautiful and pure first."

"Secondly, be delicate!"

"She is beautiful and pure, that's for sure, why should she be delicate?" Xie Tieli asked.

Lin Zhengjun said: "In this relationship, she is passive, pursued, and cared for. In terms of social status, she is the descendant of a landlord, and is insulted and damaged. She is of a lower status and was saved by the third brother. Therefore, she must be a little fragile and pitiful!"

In the previous life, this role was played by Zhou Dongyu, who really portrayed her as delicate and fragile, but too childish, which Lin Zhengjun didn't like.

"Then Liu Xiaoqing, Li Xiuming, Zhang Jinling and Chen Chong are not good enough. They all have thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of blood and energy, and look too healthy." Xie Tieli pondered.

Lin Zhengjun spread his hands.

Xiaoqing, you see, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. Xie Tieli has rejected you, so what can I do?

"Where's the actor for the third one?"

"The third child must be healthy, sunny, serious, with a mouthful of bright white teeth when he smiles." Lin Zhengjun said.

"Xu Yajun is not healthy enough!"

"Chen Baoguo is not serious enough!"

"Zhang Fengyi is too cold and hard!"

Xie Tieli looked at the photos, reviewing them one by one, and gradually he had an idea in his mind.

Tang Xiaofu spoke up at this time, saying, "Director Xie, in the script, although Wei Hong is a supporting role, she is also very important. Her love experience of being betrayed, frustrated, and growing up is a comparison group for Jingqiu and Lao San's relationship."

"It seems that only one actress is interested in playing the role, and that's Zhu Lin!"

"This character has a child before marriage in the movie. I wonder if other actresses would have some mental baggage."

"If that's the case, I suggest letting Zhu Lin play the role. If she has some mental baggage, how can she sympathize with the character, understand the character, and play the role well? In this regard, Zhu Lin has an advantage!"

She recommends good sisters!

Nowadays, during this special period, there are very few roles where actors are abandoned because of their family background, so it is very normal for actors to have concerns.

But later on, there were more and more such cases. For example, the heroine of "Under the Bridge" gave birth to a child before marriage.

Gong Xue had some psychological burden at first, and it was only after the director persuaded her several times that she was willing to take part in the performance.

Later, this image was a huge success, arousing great sympathy and recognition from the audience, and she also won the double Best Actress award for this role.

Xie Tieli picked up the information and glanced at it, then said, "Oh, she's a medical worker. She does have some acting skills. She used to work in the Communication Corps Art Troupe."

He looked at the photo and exclaimed: "She has a really good appearance and temperament, especially pure and beautiful. The audience will definitely like her and sympathize with her. If her acting skills are similar, that would be fine!"

In 1980, in another time and space, Xi'an Film Studio was preparing to shoot "Traitor". The character Shen Hong was a medical worker, and the director wanted to choose an actor with similar work experience to play the role.

After being introduced to Zhu Lin, he was immediately impressed by her beautiful appearance and elegant temperament. That’s when Zhu Lin embarked on the career of acting.

At the beginning, she made a living by her looks!

"Let's go to the rehearsal room and choose actors!" Xie Tieli stood up.

……

In the rehearsal room, Zhang Fengyi, Xie Yuan and Zhang Tielin gathered together.

Zhang Fengyi said: "Xie Yuan, you have no chance. This is a love story, and a damn tragedy. You look too funny."

"I'm here just to make myself familiar. Maybe there will be a role suitable for me in the future."

Xie Yuan said disdainfully: "Besides, do you think you can act? You are more likely to play a murderer, so fierce!"

Zhang Tielin stiffened his neck and said proudly, "I think I can do it."

He was also very handsome at that time, and later starred in many movies in the 1980s.

For example, the male protagonist of "Under the Bridge" mentioned above, but his acting skills are still far behind Gong Xue, and he has initially formed a style of puffing out his beard and glaring.

"I think Zhou Lijingcheng!"

Zhang Fengyi nodded at Zhou Liqing who was sitting on a bench not far away.

He was aloof and seemed a little aloof and arrogant. He was reading "Under the Hawthorn Tree" carefully.
