The number of actors at that time was very limited, and there were only 6 actresses. In the 1980s, the actress was loved by everyone. She was not greedy for fame and fortune, but she became a billionaire. She lived a pure and pure life and is still unmarried.

In July 1956, the Bayi Film Studio Actors Troupe was established. The number of actors at that time was very limited, and there were only 6 actresses. These include Quyun , Yuan Xia and others, as well as the actress we are going to talk about today.

Speaking of Bayi Factory actresses, I think the first thing that everyone thinks of must be Tian Hua , Wang Xiaotang , Qu Yun, Yuan Xia, Tao Yuling and others. But in fact, there are many outstanding actresses in Bayi Factory, and they are basically elite talents who have been carefully selected. They are all outstanding and talented.

For example, the actress we are going to talk about today is the same.

But all this time, her name has rarely been mentioned. I think the most important reason for this is that the media has very little coverage of her.

Because I have watched almost all the movies she has appeared in, and I think she is good at acting and acting, just like a fresh magnolia blooming on the big screen of the Bayi Factory in the 1950s and 1960s. She is another pretty actress from Bayi Factory, a professional accountant of "screen beauties", but she is rarely known to the public.

I think we should make up for this regret. I think we should not forget her.

So, today, I want to talk to you specifically about this actor.

Her name is Wu Fan.

Wu Fan was born in Changzhou in July 1933, but her native place is Hefei, Anhui. She has been interested in literature and art since she was a child, especially acting, so she joined the military art troupe as an actor at a young age. On August 1, 1952, Bayi Film Studio was established, but at first it only shot military educational films and documentaries. It was not until the feature film department was established in 1954 that it began shooting feature films. In 1956, the Actors Troupe was established for development needs and recruited key members from art troupes across the country. Wu Fan became one of the earliest film actors.

Her first appearance on the screen was as the Tibetan girl Dolma in " Crossing the River Adventure ". She was a supporting role with not many roles. But she acted very seriously and her screen image was also very beautiful. Especially the scene where she sings a love song to her elder brother on the opposite mountain across the rushing river, which is very touching with both her voice and emotion.

Wu Fan's first impression of Yaqing was that he was handsome and girlish, and his performance was simple and natural, with no trace of acting.

In 1958, she played the role of Qiu Mei in "Three Comrades". This time, as one of the heroines, she has a lot more roles, and there are also a lot of close-ups on the screen, making the audience feel her screen charm more clearly. The emotional scenes she performed were subtle and beautiful, vividly embodying the shyness and affection of a rural girl in love in the 1950s.

From this film, we feel that Wu Fan's ability to create characters as an actor, especially the use of eyes and expressions, is so perfect.

Immediately afterwards, we saw her playing the role of Qiaomei, a rural girl, in the movie "A Thousand Miles a Day" that was rushed to be produced by the Bayi Factory in 1958. The character of this character is very different from Qiu Mei in "Three Comrades". Qiu Mei is gentle and introverted, while Qiao Mei is fiery, aggressive and has a clear distinction between love and hate. Wu Fan's performance in "A Thousand Miles a Day" is clearly layered, his line skills are excellent, and his life-like performance is integrated with the documentary style of the film.

Wu Fan was an actor who debuted at the same time as Qu Yun and Yuan Xia, but their acting styles are different. If Qu Yun is Lao Dan and Yuan Xia is Qing Yi, then on the early screens of Bayi Factory, Wu Fan was obviously set up as Hua Dan. She played many young girls and girls in the film.

Also in 1958, Wu Fan and Yuan Xia appeared together in the classic business card "The Eternal Wave of ". Yuan Xia played the heroine He Lanfen , while Wu Fan played He Lanfen's good sister Shi Xiangbao.After the release of "The Eternal Wave", it caused a strong response in the society and received rave reviews. The actors who participated in the film, such as Sun Daolin, Yuan Xia, Wang Xingang, Huang Wansu, Lu Lizhu, etc., have all become famous, but Wu Fan is the only one who is rarely known. . One of the reasons for this is that she did not play many roles in the film and was easily overlooked. The other reason was that there was almost no publicity and introduction to her in the media at that time, so it did not attract the attention of more viewers.

Later, when I was looking through the works of these old artists, I was thinking that if we didn't promote these old artists, maybe they would really be like pearls, covered by the sand of time. .

In 1960, after making the masterpiece "Haiying ", director Yan Jizhou was preparing to shoot "Chifeng". In "Sea Eagle", he introduced the screen pairing of Wang Xingang and Wang Xiaotang, which was very successful. At that time, there was a saying in society that "men look up to Wang Xingang, and women look to Wang Xiaotang." Therefore, in "Chifeng Hao", Yan Jizhou wanted to create another "screen couple", so he chose Zhang Yongshou, another handsome guy from Bayi Factory, to team up with the beautiful actress Wu Fan to play a couple .

Although the pairing of Zhang Yongshou and Wu Fan is not as eye-catching as Wang Xingang and Wang Xiaotang, their cooperation is very tacit, and the interpretation and handling of emotional scenes are very natural and coordinated, without any sense of disobedience, which makes the audience feel refreshed .

Later, the two starred together in "Watershed", playing the roles of Li Yunhu and Yuhua. They also gave wonderful performances that were unforgettable.

In 1955, our army implemented the military rank system. On June 23, 1962, the Bayi Factory Actors Troupe held a ceremony for the awarding of military titles. Wu Fan, along with Zhang Fan, Qu Yun, Yuan Xia, Shi Wei, Wang Xiaotang, Hu Minying and other actresses, were awarded the title. Award. The camera captured this sacred moment.

Many movie fans say that movie actors in the past really acted like they were acting, they were very natural, not pretending, and they felt very close to the audience. I think this has a lot to do with the rigorous creative attitude and spirit of the old artists before. For example, Wu Fan once told us that every time she received a role, she would first figure out the role and carefully write a biography of the character. Then, it will take several months to experience life. In this way, if there are real experiences and profound feelings, how can the characters created not be vivid and touching?

I remember that when the movie "Blue Sky" was filmed in 1960, although Wu Fan was not playing a paratrooper, but a tractor expert, she still went to practice skydiving with other comrades. When she looked down from a high altitude, her heart was beating so hard that some of the comrades next to her turned pale, so she suggested that everyone sing "I am a soldier" to increase their courage. Then she jumped down first. Looking at her delicate and beautiful appearance on the screen, I never expected that she would be so bold.

She said that this kind of experience and feelings can be used in performances in the future, which will make it more realistic.

Her professionalism in order to make good movies is also very admirable. I remember one winter she went to the Northeast to film. Southern girls are not used to the Northeast climate. But she remained silent. I remember one time when I was filming a scene where she was walking in the ice and snow wearing single shoes, her feet were scratched by the ice particles, but she didn't feel anything at all. One was because the weather was too cold, and people's sensory abilities were numbed by the cold. The other was that she was so immersed in the performance that she completely forgot about pain. Later, when the director saw it and shouted to stop, she realized that her feet were bleeding a lot.

Wu Fan has not played many roles on the screen. I think this is also an important reason why she has not been recognized by everyone, right? In addition to the films and roles we mentioned above, she also played the role of rural girl Lin Xiu in "Brothers Are Good", with a vivid and impressive image.

Wu Fan also served as the political instructor of the Bayi Factory Actors Troupe. He often led his comrades to the border checkpoints to perform condolence performances for the soldiers.The picture below shows that in 1964, Wu Fan (the fourth person from the left in the front row), together with stars such as Qu Yun, Yang Yaqin , Tian Hua, Zhang Liang , Yan Xiaopeng , Xing Jitian , worked for Hai Dao The scene of a soldier's condolences performance.

Wu Fan has been busy with administrative work since then, and has had fewer opportunities to act. It was not until 1996 that she played the role of Zhang Tailei's mother in the 4-episode TV series "After the Thunderstorm" starring Li Yuanyuan .

In his later years, Wu Fan was not in good health. Osteoporosis was quite serious, so he often went to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, she has a good attitude and always maintains an optimistic and upbeat spirit. What she usually loves to do most is to sort out her previous film experience and some valuable experiences. She hopes to be able to help future generations of actors.

htmlFor many years, she has been good friends with many actors such as Sun Daolin, Tian Hua, Qu Yun, Zhang Liang, Liu Shangxian, etc. Especially with Yuan Xia, we formed a deep friendship and became like sisters during the filming of "The Waves That Never Die". But some of her good friends have passed away, and she misses them very much.

Now, this old artist is 88 years old. However, because she rarely goes out in recent years and has no media reports, I wonder how she is doing now? I sincerely hope that some Magnum netizens who know about it can tell us through the message area. We sincerely wish her good health and good luck. Thanks to her for bringing us warmth and touch through the big screen in the past years.

Dear friends, do you still remember this actress named Wu Fan? Do you still remember her previous screen image? Everyone is welcome to interact with more fans through the message area. My name is Yaqing. Thank you again for your attention. We will see you at the same time tomorrow.
