1. Good movies are released.
In November 1963, at the Asian Emerging Force Games held in the capital of Indonesia , the female diving team members in Jakarta achieved excellent results.
Hearing this news, Liu Guoquan, director of Changzhou Film Studio, was ready to make a unique sports film.
He selected an film literary script "Bibo Flying Swallow" created by Geng Geng, a reporter from Tianjin Workers' Daily.
Why did Geng Geng write a script related to diving?
It turns out that he had known Zhang Xiuwei, a female athlete from the Tianjin diving team, and witnessed Zhang Xiuwei's growth process.
1960, Zhang Xiuwei won the honor of the junior group championship in the national competition.
At that time, she was only 16 years old, a middle school student, and had just been involved in diving, but with her spirit of "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger", she became the best among the diving players.
1963, Zhang Xiuwei won the championship in the diving competition at the Asian Emerging Forces Games.
This is the first gold medal won by the Chinese team in the international diving competition.
Zhang Xiuwei thus became the earliest diving champion in New China.
So Geng Geng created the script "Bibo Feiyan" based on Zhang Xiuwei. The name of the heroine is designated as "Xiuwei" based on the homophonic word "Xiuwei".
The old director Liu Guoquan was very excited after reading this script. But he felt that the storyline was a little weaker, so he wanted to add more characters to it.
In addition to Zhang Xiuwei, he also noticed two girls, namely Zheng Guanzhi, who won the women's three-meter board jump in the competition, and Huang Xiuni, who was the ten-meter platform jump in the competition.
Especially Huang Xiuni, she was the only female athlete who could be a female athlete who was able to make a fuss in the air for two and a half weeks at that time. In order to fully master this difficult movement, she trained hard, so she was exhausted, which led to fainting during the competition.
Director Liu Guoquan believes that writing the stories of several girls can better reflect the spirit of the female diving team members "bringing glory for the country and fighting tenaciously."
After modification, the script "Bibo Feiyan" was renamed "Female Diving Team", and the protagonist's name also changed from Xiuwei to Chen Xiaohong.
Liu Guoquan incorporated the personality traits of Zhang Xiuwei and Huang Xiuni in Chen Xiaohong, which is that they are both childish and bold, tenacious and persistent.
"Female Diver" was released in 1964, and it had a wide impact among the audience.
Many movie fans believe that this is a sports film that is no less than movies such as " Women's Basketball No. 5 ", "Sisters on the Ice", "Spring and Autumn on the Water".
So what's the good thing about this video?
2. "Female Diving Team" has at least "five good"
The story of "Female Diving Team" is actually very simple. In summary, it tells the transformation process of Chen Xiaohong, a female diving team member, overcoming many difficulties and her own weaknesses and growing into an excellent athlete step by step.
Although the story line is very single and has the obvious characteristics of the era in that era, the movie is made with " is very good-looking ".
As for Yaqing, there are at least "five good ones" and it is worth mentioning.
First, it has a good theme and is very inspiring.
After the founding of New China, my country has made many excellent sports films.
, such as "Women's Basketball No. 5" and "Big Li, Old Li and Xiao Li" directed by , "Sisters on the Ice" directed by , and "Spring and Autumn on the Water" directed by , Xie Tian , etc., have achieved remarkable results after their release.
And the sports spirit shown in these movies is also exciting.
Not only do sports fans love to watch, but even ordinary audiences are firmly attracted. The same is true for "Female Diving Team".
It not only fills the gap in diving athlete-themed movies, but also allows the audience to have more understanding and understanding of this sport.
The scene of Xiaohong jumping on the cliff to save a child who fell into the water in the water is suspected of deliberately raising the theme, but after watching it, it is still touching.
At that critical moment, Xiaohong forgot about danger and the failure of the past. Almost instinctively, she jumped from the high cliff.
accidentally overcame his psychological barriers and skillfully completed the difficult movements of 5311. The screen of
left a very deep impression on Yaqing.
I think everyone, after 58 years, will it be hard to forget this shot?
The second is good photography and the lens is beautiful.
The location of "Female Diving Team" was selected as the scenic Zhanjiang .
This coastal city has beautiful mountains and rivers, and flowers bloom all year round.
The blue sky, the azure sea, and the swaying coconut trees all exude a charming style.
, especially the fiery red phoenix flowers are blooming in competition, like the smiling faces of beautiful female diving players, full of vitality.
In addition, the Chikan swimming pool where athletes train, is also shaded by green trees.
The curved shape of the four-layer ten-meter platform with avant-garde artistic style made the audience even more excited.
The video also presents the scenery on both sides of the Pearl River in Guangzhou in the 1960s and the beautiful scenery in the Qixingyan area of Zhaoqing, which is extremely beautiful.
Third, the music is good and the song is beautiful. There is a popular episode in the video
, which is still widely sung.
That is "Song of Youth Athlete" .
This song has a light melody, exciting lyrics and full of vitality.
songwriter is the famous composer all Ru . After she was transferred to the Changchao Orchestra in 1955, she has composers for films such as " Silent Mountains and Forests", "Sisters on the Ice", and "Sunny Sky".
And her husband is Lou Zhanghou, who once composed music for movies such as "Railway Gunshots" and "The Gunshots of the Bureau of Secrets". The lyricist of the song
is the famous Qiao Yu old man who is very familiar to everyone.
Do you still remember the catchy lyrics?
"Train in the wind, test in the rain, we are a group of sea swallows flying high..."
Where the singing starts, does it bring us back to that turbulent years of youth?
Fourth, the actors are good, the handsome women are handsome, which is pleasing to the eye.
Although the starring actors in this movie are not professional actors, their performance in front of the camera is quite natural and relaxed.
, especially , are full of youthful vitality and high appearance, and the healthy and natural beauty they present are many times better than the current "little flowers" and "little meat".
is good editing, bright and smooth.
, especially the set of shots at the end of the film, diving athletes appeared one after another, either single, double, or three people performing diving performances, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one
is dazzling and amazing.
In addition, the film also truly presents the mental state of people in that era, so high and full, everyone is full of energy and everyone is positive.
At that time, the relationship between people was so simple and harmonious.
Whether it is mother and daughter, teachers and students, or classmates, although there are conflicts, they will not really take it to their hearts.
Everything will be open and honest, and there are not so many "turning around".
Everyone lives so simple but fulfilling.
So after this movie was released, there were many viewers.
is just 58 years later. As time goes by, with more and more good movies, many people may have forgotten it, right?
But I still remember it.
Especially when I see excellent diving athletes in my country, such as Tian Liang , Guo Jingjing , Wu Minxia , Chen Ruolin , Quan Hongchan , etc., who have been on the international podium again and again and again, and have won glory for the country, I always think of this movie.
Sometimes when I look at it, I can't help but burst into tears.
So at this moment, have you remembered this movie again?
instantly opened the door to memory, recalling the past touching and familiar scenes and scenes?
And 58 years later, what changes have the main creators of this movie changed?
3. Current status of the main creator of "Female Diving Team"
The director of this movie is Liu Guoquan .
In fact, there are two Liu Guoquan in the film industry in my country.
One of Liu Guoquan is a female director of Beijing Film Studio . He has directed film and television dramas such as "The General's Choice", "Crazy Singer", " Father and Son Classic Car ", and " Golden Fan Family ".
, and Liu Guoquan, who directs "Female Diving Team", is a senior director of Changshe Studios. He has directed films such as " Mulan ", " Yellow River Flying ", "Female Diving Team", and " Qingsongling ", and pursues a simple and fresh artistic style.
Among them, movies such as "Female Diving Team" and "Qingsongling" directed by him have been well received by the audience. However, he died of illness as early as 1979.
Chang Zhenhua , who serves as deputy director in "Female Divers", and also plays the role of Deputy Mayor Gao in the film. He later participated in directing movies such as "The Suffering Heart" and " Enemy ". He died of illness on December 18, 2002 at the age of 81.
Wu Guojiang , who was photographed for the film, later became a photographer of "Little Generation", and participated in directing movies such as " Valley Love Song " and "Genius". died in 2016. His two daughters, Wu Lilin and Wu Lijie, have also appeared in movies.
Quanruyan , who composered "Female Diving Team", won the honor of the Special Contribution Award for Film Music at the Centennial Conference of China Film in 2005. In 2017, she was interviewed when she was 92 years old and had a quick mind.
, and for the video, "It appears in the waves, circling in the blue sky, and has developed a courage, and has achieved hard work in every way, is strict but not lenient, is not afraid of any difficulties, and is hard work in the young..." The lyrics of the Qiao Yu Old Master has created countless classic works. He passed away on June 20 this year, which made many fans heartbroken.
Let’s talk about the current situation of the actors. This is probably what everyone cares about the most.
The starring actors in "Female Diving Team" are mostly not professional actors, but their image is very good.
, especially the Zhang Kejing , who plays the heroine Chen Xiaohong, and the Wang Yingfu , who plays the hero Wang Zhenqiang, are both eye-catching.
When Zhang Kejing appeared in this movie, he was only 17 years old and full of youthful vitality.
And what her beautiful face presents is a natural and healthy beauty without modification.
She was originally an athlete of the Beijing diving team and had studied gymnastics. She performed easily and comfortably in front of the camera.
It’s just that after the movie was filmed, Zhang Kejing did not continue to engage in diving, but entered the Central Experimental Theater. And here, she found the most important person in her life - Wen Xingyu (yes, it is the old actor who played Mr. Fu in the sitcom " I Love My Home ").
The two got married on February 27, 1967.
After marriage, the two of them support each other and are very loving. It’s a pity that Wen Xingyu died on July 30, 2007 at the age of 66.
, Zhang Kejing has lost his wife for 15 years.
Now Zhang Kejing is 75 years old. Compared with when he starred in "Female Diving Team", he has changed a lot, but his mental state is very good.
Wang Yingfu, who plays Wang Zhenqiang, is really handsome, handsome, and has a refreshing and masculine temperament.
I think his appearance and figure are not inferior to many "handsome screen actors" at that time.
For example, today's "Little Fresh Meat" is so good-looking.
Not only does he have a good appearance, but his voice is also very charming and particularly sexy.
Wang Yingfu was originally an ice hockey player, an excellent striker of the national team, and a captain.
was discovered by Xie Tian in 1959 and invited him to play the role of Zhou Huiliang in the movie "Spring and Autumn on the Water".
1963 when director Liu Guoquan filmed "Female Diving Team", he played the male lead in the film Coach Wang.
His performance is also very natural and lifelike. What impressed me the most was Coach Wang's doting look when criticizing Chen Xiaohong for making mistakes, it seemed like his father was looking at his daughter. Although he was actually less than 28 years old at that time.
I think if Wang Yingfu later developed in the entertainment industry, he should be able to achieve good results.
But people at that time obeyed the distribution, so he returned to the Beijing Sports Academy where he worked and continued to be a teacher.
He began to serve as an international ice hockey referee in 1978 and became my country's first silver international referee in 1981. He has served as director of the Ice and Snow Department of the State Sports Commission and Secretary-General of the China Ice Federation. Now he is 87 years old.
plays the role of first-level athlete Gao Limei's Zheng Deqian , from the Shanghai diving team, and is still so beautiful and elegant today.
plays the second female lead Huang Guilan and Zeng Zhaomei . She was an athlete of the Hubei diving team back then. She later trained Yu Fen, the deputy head coach of the national diving team. Yu Fen has cultivated proud disciples such as Fu Mingxia, Sun Shuwei, and Guo Jingjing.
What I have to mention here is Li Zhende , who plays coach Zhou Bin. He is a famous diving athlete in my country in the 1950s and 1960s, and is as famous as Liang Boxi, who has trained many famous diving players.
The line he said in the video impressed me: I, Zhou Bin, can't dive anymore, I can make thousands of Zhou Bin fly into the sky.
Although this line was criticized as "personal fame and fortune thought" in the movie at that time, Yaqing felt that this was a coach's great ambition.
In fact, in the training camp of the 7th Asian Games in 1974, 37-year-old Li Zhende was still working hard on the jumping platform. But he immigrated to the United States in his later years. Now, he is 85 years old.
The prototype of the movie "Female Diving Team" is Zhang Xiuwei . She should have participated in the filming of the film as well. But she was going to participate in an important competition at that time, so she failed to realize her wish of "electric shock". It was also a pity. She is 78 years old now and her style remains the same.
Professional film actors who play roles in "Female Divers" include Lu Guilan , Wang Zhifang , Zhang Huijun and others. They played the roles of Teacher Zhang, Chen Xiaohong's mother, Dr. Ding, and Chen Xiaohong's classmate Li Juanjuan in the film respectively.
Lu Guilan is also an athlete, but she learns not diving, but skating. In 1959, she was discovered by Changzhou Film Studio director Wu Zhaoti and arranged for her to play the leading female lead Ding Shuping in the sports movie "Sisters on the Ice", which became a hit.
Then she became an actor in Changzhou Studio, starring in movies such as "Young People in Our Village" and "Express Train". He was transferred to Beijing Film Studio in the 1970s and played roles in movies such as "Female Transporter", "Newsboro", "Xu Mao and His Daughters".
Lu Guilan is now 81 years old.
Wang Zhifang was the first batch of film actors trained by New China. He graduated from the Performing Arts Institute of the Film Bureau of the Ministry of Culture and later became an actor in Beijing Film Studio. He has participated in movies such as "Women's Basketball No. 5", "Growing Clouds and Splashing Rain", and "Female Diving Team", mainly playing supporting roles.
Zhang Huijun looked very young when she starred in "Female Diving Team", and looked like a middle school student, but in fact she was already 23 years old at that time and was an actress at Changzhou Film Studio.
However, she has not participated in many movies since then, mainly in dubbing. For example, the sister Shunji in the North Korean movie " Flower Girl " we are familiar with, and the Xue Baochai in the 1987 version of " Dream of Red Mansions ", are all dubbed by her. The current situation is unknown.
In addition, I also saw some familiar figures in this movie, such as Shao Wanlin , Ren Yi , etc. at Changzhou Film Studio at that time, and they all appeared in the form of supporting roles.
Shao Wanlin is now 91 years old, while Ren Yi died on September 15, 2005.
"Strong will and agile skills, we are teenagers who grew up under the five-star red flag..." 's familiar songs are so loud, and the sensational melody makes us recall the passionate times 58 years ago.
Now, Chinese diving athletes have long been at the top of the world and are lenient to win awards.
And when we look back on this old movie "Female Diving Team" again, are there too many feelings coming to our minds?
Please pay tribute to these outstanding athletes, and also to the film workers who create excellent sports videos.
So do you still remember this "Female Diving Team"? Do you still remember the clips and the actors? Everyone is welcome to share their experiences with more netizens through the message area.
