Life figures

Zhu Fei has been fond of art since he was a child. He once studied art with MS. bellan of the United States. Zhu feiyuan was a character who made advertising films. Because he can speak fluent English, about 1925, the film department of Shanghai British American tobacco company took a fancy to him and recruited him as the basic actor of the company. He starred in "a dollar", "three strange signs", "God monk", "slowly running", "Liu dieyuan" and other advertising films to promote cigarettes. Zhang Shichuan was attracted by his various smoking postures in the film, and he was invited to join the star film company. In 1925, Zhu Fei joined the "Star" in his first film, poor girl, CO starred with Zhang Zhiyun and Xuan Jinglin. Then he played a role in the film "empty valley orchid", which caused a sensation. He shot to fame as Ji Lansun. The heroines of "empty valley orchid" are Zhang Zhiyun, Yang Naimei and so on. The film "orchid in the empty valley" describes Ji Lansun, a returned international student, who is provoked and seduced by his cousin Rou Yun and divorced his wife Zhizhu. After rouyun achieves his goal, he appears in front of Ji with another face. Finally, her ugly face was exposed. She was so ashamed that she had to commit suicide. From 1926 to 1930, Zhu Fei made a lot of films in the "Star", because at that time, movies describing talented people and beautiful women talking about love were popular. With his handsome appearance, natural and unrestrained performance, he attracted many female audiences and was known as the "screen lover". In terms of acting skills, Zhu Fei is at an average level and has no outstanding points. In terms of appearance, he was indeed the best of the Xiaosheng group at that time. At that time, some people in the film circle said, "Zhu is a mixture of Pan an and Wu Song." But he didn't try to improve his acting skills in order to make contributions to the early film career. Instead, he fooled around among the women who pursued him. He was late and left early when shooting. Sometimes the company even sent people to the hotel to find him and go back to the studio to shoot. Director Zhang Shichuan has opinions on him, but he has nothing to do. When he starred in "white cloud tower" with Ruan Lingyu and Hu Die, it was his golden age. in the 1930s, the audience's demands were different, and the movies of love and romance had turned the audience off. In addition, he was dissolute in his life and did not want to make progress in art, and he also smoked opium. Although Zhang Shichuan often admonished him with great care, hoping that he could love himself and create a better future for art, he also cited the loss of artistic life due to China's obsession with women in the drama world But Zhu Fei, who came from a rich family and was arrogant and willful, could not listen to the harsh advice at all, and was more determined to go his own way. Zhang Shichuan couldn't bear that Zhu Fei was always on time to shoot in the studio. Once he was so angry that he scolded him. For Zhang Shichuan's scolding, Zhu Fei contradicted: "Zhang Shichuan, don't blossom in your mouth. I don't want Zhu Fei to buy it." Then he ran out. After a while, he shaved his head and went back to the studio, making Zhang Shichuan unable to shoot his play. However, Zhang Shichuan has Zhang Shichuan's way. He signed a two-year basic actor contract with Zhu Fei, but he didn't shoot his plays and put him on the shelf. Two years later, Zhu Fei did not appear on the screen, he was forgotten by the audience. In the past two years, Zhu Fei's addiction to opium has become more and more serious. He was swept out of the house when his contract expired. In 1934, after Zhu Fei filmed youth in Lianhua, there was no drama for him. Other film companies also because his life is too unrestrained, no one dare to ask him to film. Later, Zhu Fei wanted to quit smoking and return to the film industry, but he never had a chance. This was the first generation of Chinese film Xiaosheng who was once very popular. Later, he died in Shanghai because he smoked too much opium.
