Main experience
CEN fan was born in a famous family. He was the great nephew of Cen Yuying, a famous general in the Qing Dynasty, and the nephew of Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the late Qing Dynasty, the president of the French military government of the Republic of China, and one of the founders of the Kuomintang. Although his ancestors were prominent, cen fan himself recalled, "I never relied on these, nor did I get any benefits from them." When Cen fan was born in Shanghai in 1926, the cen family was already in decline. Cen fan's father was just a small civil servant with a meager salary. When Cen fan reached school age, he even failed to attend school on time because of his poor family. His mother had to teach him to read and read, and to carry out enlightenment education. However, her mother is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she dotes on Cen fan, the youngest son of the cen family. What she left for Cen fan in her childhood is warm and sweet memories.
CEN fan has been beautiful since he was a child, and his physical quality is outstanding. When he was 9 years old, cen fan, who was still in the fourth grade of primary school, went to the training ground of Shanghai track and field team at that time, and his long jump score reached 5 meters, which surprised the coach of the track and field team and said, "little brother, you can take part in the World Games (Olympic Games) in the future." During his stay in Hong Kong, cen fan, who is 1.76 meters tall, was still a good basketball player. He once played against the Hong Kong Professional Basketball Team Nanhua team, the Philippines National team and other teams, and was famous in the Hong Kong Basketball world at that time.
In 1939, 13-year-old Cen fan moved to Nanjing with his family to study in a men's middle school. At a party, cen fan was praised for playing a beautiful girl in the play. Later, he often took part in acting, and his reputation gradually faded. He was often invited to play a guest role in an off campus drama company. He watched a large number of films from various countries and felt the unique charm of film art. Interest has gradually shifted from drama to film. Later, he studied in the Economics Department of Nanjing University, studied a large number of scripts, and became interested in script creation. In 1945, 19-year-old Cen fan bravely sent his first screenplay to Zhu Shilin, a famous film director and pioneer in China. He also asked him to give him a signed photo. In his busy schedule, Zhu Shilin even wrote back to this whimsical child, saying, "your sincere attitude and naughty style have made me interested in you." He also invited Cen fan to his filming scene. When Cen fan later recalled the past, he even called himself "naive". However, it was this "naive" move that made him start his long journey of film dream seeking. In 1946, at the invitation of Nanyang company, Zhu Shilin was going to Hong Kong to shoot "same disease, no pity for each other". He hoped that Cen fan could go with him as his assistant. That year, cen fan was 20 years old.
CEN fan has been in Hong Kong for six years. Thanks to Zhu Shilin's enthusiasm and hard work, he has made rapid progress. In the past six years, he has made more than ten films with Zhu Shilin, sometimes as an executive director and actor, mostly as an important supporting role or even the leading role; sometimes as a screenwriter and deputy director. These practices forced him to explore the artistic rules and characteristics of the three important links in film creation, namely, editing, directing and acting. When he used them in a comprehensive way, he also made great progress in editing, directing and acting.
CEN fan soon came to the fore: as Zhu Shilin's deputy director, he and his teacher directed more than a dozen films, such as the secret history of the Qing palace and the hatred of life and death. As a screenwriter, he wrote many screenplays, such as life and death and blood stained lonely city. Famous directors such as Wu Zuguang and Yue Feng have taken a fancy to his tall and handsome appearance. They also invited him to act as the leading actor and co starred with famous female stars Xia Meng, Gong Qiulu and Hu Die in such films as "tears of mountains and rivers", "forbidden marriage" and "Butterfly dream". After six years in Hong Kong, cen fan has become a rare film artist who integrates editing, directing and acting.
Then he starred in Li Jianwu's drama "it's just spring", and gradually became famous, so that amateur troupes often invited him to perform as a guest star. He played a romantic boy in "three thousand gold", a silly groom in "Chu Bawang", and Juehui in "home".
As the career progressed, the God of love came unexpectedly.
In 1951, a 17-year-old girl and Cen fan, who was 26 years old at that time and was very famous, CO starred in the movie "dream marriage", which made her popular in Hong Kong for more than 20 years. She is Xia Meng, a famous film star in the future. At that time, cen fan was a 1.76-meter-old handsome man, and Xia Meng was a 1.7-meter-old pretty girl, with all kinds of manners. Both of them are omnipotent actors who can perform in fashion, ancient costume, opera and film. Their first cooperation was successful. In the film, the young lovers meet, and it's hard to separate them. They discuss the performing arts, analyze the psychology of the characters, play ball games, play sports and go shopping together. CEN fan still clearly remembers the happy scene when he was with Xia Meng. Once when they went swimming in the sea, cen fan's foot was cut by a shell on the reef. Xia Meng squatted down to wash his wound with fresh water and took out a white handkerchief to bandage him. There was too much blood and dyed the white handkerchief red
That year, more than a year after the founding of new China, cen fan had already decided to return to the mainland. He told Xia Meng the decision. Xia Meng said firmly, "you go back and I'll go back too!" CEN fan quickly got a visa from his brother who worked in the Guangzhou Military Control Commission. Xia Meng asked his great wall film company to get a visa, but he failed. CEN fan had to say goodbye to his lover. Summer dream also reluctantly said, wait for the visa, go back immediately. However, the development of things is not satisfactory. Originally, cen fan and Xia Meng were the two Optimus Prime that the Great Wall company managed to find. CEN fan has gone. If Xia Meng leaves again, the company will be in danger. Everyone knows that if Xia Meng doesn't go back to the mainland, the only way is to let her Miss Cen fan.
When Cen fan returns to Beijing, he and Xia Meng are separated from each other, and their lovers become Cowherd and weaver girl. Xia Meng breaks her heart and sends a long letter to Cen fan every day, which is soaked with tears. Cen fan is also tortured by Acacia, and sends a long letter to Xia Meng every day. If there is no accident, their love flame will burn more and more. It's a pity that Cen fanquan has received the letter sent by Xia Meng to Cen fan, which is still treasured. However, the letter from Cen fan to Xia Meng has been tampered with, and Xia Meng has not seen a word. Some say that Cen fan has changed his mind, others say that Cen fan has abandoned her. Of course, fan Cen experienced a sad dream, but he would not be disappointed. She no longer had the courage to throw her feelings into the water. The connection was cut off for no reason
In 1955, Xia Meng had the opportunity to return to the mainland and found Cen fan by all means. The two met at Beihai Park in Beijing. Xia Meng also went to see Cen fan's mother. However, the two lovers failed to join hands. Xia Meng just got married a year ago. They can only be brothers and sisters in the future. Up to now, when Xia Meng comes to Shanghai or Cen fan goes to Hong Kong, he will visit each other. In the 1960s, Xia Meng sent peanut oil to Cen fan's Vegetarian mother.
CEN fan always thinks that Xiameng is the best woman in the world, and no one can match her. It's not beauty in the eye of the beholder. In the eyes of Hong Kong fans, Xia Meng is the only female star comparable to Audrey Hepburn. Famous director Li Hanxiang said: "Xia Meng is the most beautiful actress in the history of Chinese film. She has extraordinary temperament and is intoxicating." Jin Yong, a famous writer, also had a secret love for Xia Meng for several years
