After "Long Live the Lady of the HTML ", Zhang Ailing is adapting the previous famous work "The Golden Lock", which will be the third movie that Sang Hu and Zhang Ailing .
Editor-in-chief of "Qingqing Movie" believes that "Golden Lock" has a moving story and has a reader base. In addition, the tacit understanding of cooperation with Sang Hu will achieve good results after the release of this movie.
However, when Wenhua started filming, the original female starring Zhang Ruifang refused to act due to illness, and Bai Yang, who was invited, refused to act. "The Golden Lock" has been stranded since then, and Sang Hu and Zhang Ailing collaborated on "miscarriage" for the third time.
Sang Hu conceived a script himself, "After the completion of "Long Live the Madam", he had just become more idle, so he began to conceive and wanted to write a script and direct it himself. The title of the script
has long been reported by our newspaper as "Haling for the Madam ". The inventor of this script was after "Long Live the Madam", and it has been ten months since now." After the "Golden Lock" was stranded, Sang Hu began to prepare to bring "Haling for the Madam " to the screen.

His eldest son Li Yizhong said when talking about Sang Hu's movie that "Middle Age of Sorrow and Joy" was affected by the war and the box office was not very good, but Sang Hu's most satisfied work. However, there has been controversy about the screenwriter issues of this film.
currently has three explanations: the first is written by Zhang Ailing. The person who supports this statement is Zhang Ailing's friend. In 1938, in an interview with Song Qi and , she mentioned that the movie was written by Zhang Ailing. She analyzed from Zhang Ailing's writing style and believed that Sang Hu did not have this aura, which was Zhang Ailing's idea.
The second type is the concept of mulberry arc, which is handed over to Zhang Ailing to write. This statement was admitted by Zhang Ailing herself. In January 1990, she wrote to the editor of "United Daily United Supplement" Su Weizhen . The letter stated that Sang Hu wanted to make a movie about the theme of life philosophy. "Middle Age of Sorrow and Joy" was a subject that he was satisfied with. Although the script was written by himself, it was separated by a layer.
From September 30 to October 23, 1990, the United Daily News and United Supplement published the script of the film, signed by Zhang Ailing.
After one month, Zhang Ailing wrote to Su Weizhen, which seemed to change her words. She believed that the theme of the movie came from director Sang Hu. Although she participated in the writing process, she had very few ingredients. She just took the script fee as a consultant and was not named.
The third statement is written by Sang Hu. "Qingqing Movie" wrote on page 2 of Volume 16, Issue 37, 1948: "The screenwriter is Zhang Ailing. Zhang Ailing and Sang Hu collaborated several times in the movie, and is known as the "Sang Zhang Party".
However, in Volume 17th issue 12, it was specifically pointed out that this work was written by Sang Hu himself.
In 1999, Sang Hu was interviewed by Lu Hongshi and Zhao Mei. Lu Hongshi asked: "You are the screenwriter and director of "Middle Age of Sorrow and Joy" by yourself. Under what circumstances does its creative impulse come about?" Sang Hu agreed with the previous sentence and replied: "This is a story I heard with my own ears. I changed it into a movie. This story is actually a serious drama, and I used a The three statements of "
have reasonable points, but in the Chinese film history series, such as "History of Chinese Film", "Shanghai Film Journal", "Sang Hu Director Wencun", "History of Chinese Image", "China's New Literature Series 1937-1949", etc., the director of "Sorrow and Joy Middle Age" clearly marked Sang Hu. There are many different opinions on the writer's issues, but it is undeniable that "Middle Age of Sorrow and Joy" is a rare and good movie. Hong Kong critic Liu Cheng believes: "The film is not only unique in concept but also complete, full of mature humor.It is an excellent Chinese film with nearly perfect content and skills. ”
