Life figures

Long history

It has been a hundred years since the birth of Chinese films. The "old films" of the first half century have become valuable cultural heritage worthy of later generations. The old films of the latter half century have become patriotic educational films. Through television, "old movies" have been spread to thousands of families to the greatest extent, which is of great value to encourage the public to review historical memory, choose cultural identity and enhance national cohesion. I can't calm down all the time. Watching the old movies in the second half of the century reminds me of Mr. Feng Shun, the famous old actor in the "old movie replay".

In his life, Mr. Feng Shun created different images of the screen, most of them were villains, supporting actors, who made a deep impression on the audience with their devotion and seriousness. The screen characters created by Mr. Feng Shun, whether they are "Feng Gouzi", "puppet army", "Lu monk" or "teahouse manager", are so lifelike and lifelike. In more than 40 years, Mr. Feng Shun has taken part in more than 200 films and TV dramas, becoming one of the famous old film actors in China.

Art career

Mr. Feng Shun's artistic achievements come from his years of continuous efforts and profound artistic cultivation. He once worshipped Shang Xiaoyun's younger martial brother Gao Yuexia as a teacher and studied Peking Opera. He was also taught by Bai Yunsheng, the elder of Kunqu Opera. He said: where there is a will, there is a way. If you do not advance, you will retreat. The most important thing is to advance. Over the years, he has explored a way to absorb the performing arts of drama into films and gained rich experience. Xu Huanshan, a famous film actor from Beijing Film Studio, wrote to Mr. Feng Shun: "a small hoe in the film world is always happy, and he loves to conceive hard in his life", which sums up Mr. Feng Shun's artistic career.

Calligraphy attainments

Apart from performing, Mr. Feng Shun loves calligraphy and has made great achievements. As early as the 1940s, he began to study the ancient seal style. For more than 40 years, he has spent almost all his spare time practicing calligraphy. He is learning to use the old font, taking the best strokes of its parts to create a unique one. His calligraphy is thick, bold and unrestrained, natural and unrestrained, funny, revealing new ideas. No matter the experts in calligraphy and painting or the general level of calligraphy appreciation, they all like his calligraphy, which can be described as both refined and popular. Calligraphy lovers at home and abroad also have many collections. In a letter to Mr. Feng Shun, a Japanese friend wrote: "I like your works very much, especially the four words turtle, crane, tiger and dragon. I want to be a family treasure and pass them on from generation to generation.". Mr. Feng Shun generally likes to write auspicious words, such as "prolong life", "live a long life", "always happy", and "turtle", "tiger", "dragon" and "horse". He once wrote "more than a year in a row" and "congratulations on getting rich" for a hard-working farmer. The old farmer was very happy. Mr. Feng Shun spread to Japan the words "Cherry Blossom", "turtle Crane", "longevity", "world peace" and so on. Mr. Feng Shun himself said: "when writing auspicious words, people are in a happy mood and have the spirit of work and production. I am also contributing to the society.". This fully expresses the patriotism of this Democrat.

Calligraphy seal

Mr. Feng Shun is very particular about the use of seals for books. There are often seven or eight seals on a single character, including the first chapter, the corner chapter and the famous chapter. Square, elliptical, deformed. But these seven or eight seals are not used carelessly to fill the gaps. It refers to the content, the style, the size, and the layout of a picture of a character. Black and white, slightly monotonous, cleverly press a few rice red seal, a word proud and lively, suddenly brilliant. Some of these seals reflect Mr. Feng Shun's philosophy of life, academic attitude, writing experience, as a foil of a word. So that we understand Mr. Feng Shun's character, temperament, so as to deepen the ideological and artistic understanding of the book, improve the appreciation ability.

Works introduction

Old news in memory of Fengshun

Most people don't know the name of Fengshun, but if you have an impression of an old movie, you must have an impression of his face. In an old movie, you may not have Yu Yang, Wang Xingang or sun Daolin, but most of them have Fengshun. Feng Shun has played more than 150 films in his life, all of which are supporting roles. His face is well known, and his name is rarely known. Although he won the Golden Rooster Lifetime Achievement Award in his later years, he was on the podium and CCTV live broadcast. In his later years, the interpretation of "the steel of fire" was only known to young people.

Character evaluation

In the early 1980s, Fengshun and I got to know each other and became good friends. When I was in Dagang Oilfield, he came to see me. When I was in Tianjin Youth Daily, he often came to visit me. The old man didn't want to be picked up or given a suitcase. Fengshun also introduced me to many friends, such as Jin Yaqin and Niu Xingli from Beijing People's Art Troupe, and Qi Liangzhi, Baishi's daughter. Fengshun is a very dedicated and hardworking person. In his early years, he wrote the only common sense of drama makeup for the film industry at that time. He also studied Peking Opera. He once studied Peking Opera under the guidance of Gao Yuexia, the younger martial brother of Shang Xiaoyun. Bai Yunsheng, the elder of Kunqu Opera, was also a teacher to learn his figure. In his later years, he studied calligraphy and created his own pictographic seal style, which can be found on the Internet. It's very interesting. His favorite book is "thousand island country, beauty of crane, strong tiger, longevity of turtle". In the mid-1980s, I wrote a pamphlet about Fengshun, called "forty years of Fengshun cinema". Zhao ziyue signed the pamphlet, and I have preserved the original. (literati: Li Jiaming)
