Since its premiere in 1965, "Fight the Invaders" has left a deep impression on the hearts of many fans. Even after 58 years, people still talk about the classic scenes in the movies and the performances of the actors.
This may be due to the fact that the film gathers positive energy and successfully portrays a group of "the loveliest people" who show heroic tenacity and selfless sacrifice in the brutal war and harsh environment.
1."Surprise Attack on the White Tiger Regiment" originates from the same theme, telling the heroic story of the Chinese People's Volunteers fighting side by side with the Korean People's Army, striking at the US imperialist invaders, and successfully annihilating the enemy's pseudo-"White Tiger Regiment", which is fascinating.
2.The film is depicted in real and vivid details, conveying a strong atmosphere of the times. The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the heroic spirit of the volunteer soldiers jumped on the paper, vivid and vivid.
3.The whole film is full of high-spirited power and shocking influence, which is moving from beginning to end.
In the film "Fighting the Invaders", in addition to the fascinating plot and exciting battle scenes, ** and props are also highlights that cannot be ignored. The famous songs in the film, such as "Battle Song of the Chinese People's Volunteers" and "Singing the Motherland", have been innovatively varied, bringing a refreshing feeling to the audience.
In addition, the audience was amazed to see rocket artillery for the first time through this film. Moreover, the actors brought a sense of intimacy to the audience with their simple and sincere performances and familiar faces.
These elements add a lot to the film.
Fifth, it comes from emotion. When we re-examine this "Fight the Invaders", we will find that there may be some problems with it. However, it is part of our childhood memories, so no matter how the years pass, the warmth hidden deep in the memories will never fade.
Combining the wonderful performances of veteran actors with the historical background of the film undoubtedly makes the film more attractive. "Fighting the Invaders" is a film directed by Hua Chun and adapted from the drama "Defending Peace".
Hua Chun joined the New Fourth Army when he was in junior high school, and then went to the Korean battlefield to shoot a documentary during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and had an in-depth understanding of the battlefield environment and fighting atmosphere at that time.
Therefore, in "Fighting the Invaders" directed in 1965, he truly presented what he saw and heard in the film, making the audience feel as if they were there.
I believe that many fans will be attracted by such a movie and be more interested in the wonderful performances of old actors.
In this film, which has no credits, we can still recognize familiar faces in the many characters that appear. Army Commander Li Yan, Fang Political Commissar Hu Xiaoguang, Cui Kaiyu Chunmian, Ding Dayong Zhang Liang, Xiaodoudou Huang Huanguang, Jin Zhekui Daniel Zhang Shou, Jin Uncle Shi Cunyu, as well as Wang Xiaozhong, Wei Jia, Xie Wanhe and other villains, each of them left a deep impression in the movie.
They once shed their blood under the camera of Bayi Factory, and many of them even participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Their screen images are all full of life. So, today, fifty-eight years later, do you remember their amazing performance in "Fight the Invaders"?
Do you know how they have evolved and changed in the decades that followed? Today, Yaqing wants to join you in reviewing this classic movie while exploring the contrast between the past and the present of these actors.
First of all, let's take a look at how Li Yan created the character of Commander Li.
At the beginning of the film, Commander Li, played by Li Yan, rode in a jeep and galloped under enemy fire.
Li Yan's performance is full of solemnity and majesty, and his eyes reveal not only majesty and domineering, but also cordiality and warmth. His performance in the film is steady and mature, and his words are firm and powerful.
Since "Fighting the Invaders", Li Yan has become one of the "top screen professionals" in Bayi Factory.
He has performed well in films such as "Overture to the East" and "Capture the Seal" filmed by Bayi Factory, and since then he has also played Lin Jian in "The Young Generation" (remake), the secretary of the provincial party committee in "The Eventful Years", the minister Zhou Feng in "Remnant Snow", Chen Chunzhu in "The Final Choice", and the head of the military region in "Salute, My Instructor".
Zhang Liang's performance is deep and atmospheric, and the characters he portrays are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, he died 26 years ago in 1997, and his last film was "Artillery Major".
Another heroic figure in "Fighting the Invaders" is Ding Dayong interpreted by Zhang Liang, who is a and"Qiu Shaoyun"Just as brave and fearless as a fighting hero. His performance in the film is moving, especially in the burning flames, he endured the severe pain of burns, and insisted on not saying a word to ensure that the entire army was not discovered by the enemy, this scene brought tears to the eyes of countless viewers.
Zhang Liang won everyone's love with his natural, simple and authentic performance in the film. Although he was 32 years old when he starred in this movie, his acting skills made people see the perseverance of "Dong Cunrui" he played in "Dong Cunrui", and the wit and intelligence of "Two Tigers" played in "Good Brothers".
His performance makes people feel his deep understanding and superb interpretation of the role.
Zhang Liang began his career in the army at the age of 15 and has a deep understanding of military life. Therefore, the image of the soldier he created on the screen is so vivid and three-dimensional.
Although he created his last screen image "Fighting the Invaders" in Bayi Factory, in the following special years, he was forced to leave Bayi Factory and return to his hometown in Benxi, Liaoning Province.
However, in 1972, he was transferred to Pearl River Film Studio and regained his artistic life. Since the late 70s, he has become a film director, directing a series of popular films such as "Yamaha Fish Files" and "Juvenile Delinquents".
The 90-year-old artist is enjoying his old age in Guangzhou, with children and grandchildren around his knees, and although he is old, he is still in good spirits and still maintains his vitality. He once played Little Doudou and left a deep impression on us.
Huang Huanguang is known as a "professional little warrior on the screen" in Bayi Factory, whether it is playing the clever and lively Ma Ruhu in "Sea Eagle", or portraying the funny and cute Tang Hu in "Surprise Attack", the roles he interprets have these characteristics.
In "Fighting the Invaders", the same is true of the little Doudou he plays. Especially at the end of the film, the scene of Xiaodoudou's heroic sacrifice holding an apple deeply touched us.
Huang Bangrui plays Zhou Da, who has acted in films such as "Youth is Red Like Fire", "Where Does the Guest Come From", "Pipa Soul", and served as the assistant director of films such as "The Land of Regeneration", "Liu Fei's Suicide Letter", "Dunhuang" and other films.
However, the talented actor died of illness on July 24, 2000, at the age of 65.
Zhou Da in "Fighting the Invaders", his image is quite similar to Yang Wei in "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", with a burly figure, infinite strength, honest personality, and heroic combat.
Although the actor Huang Bangrui is not well known, his performance is unpretentious and successfully gives the character a unique personality.
Jiangxi native Huang Bangrui has worked as an actor in the Jiangxi Repertory Theatre and the Changying Studio Actors' Troupe, and his first film was "Fighting the Invaders", but for a long time after that, he did not appear on the screen again.
However, in the 80s, he appeared again in films such as "Danfeng Chaoyang" (as Zhao Cheng), "Wisdom Fighting Beauty Snake" (as Zhao Baojin), "Xiangma County Magistrate" (as the rich man), "The Bund Dragon Snake" (as a bodyguard), although these films were not very influential.
The actor's name is Shi Cunyu, and he retired from Changying in 1993. However, since he is not famous, there is not much information about him online. So far, little is known about his recent situation.
In past film and television works, he once played the role of Uncle Jin.
In "Fighting the Invaders", we once again saw Shi Cunyu, the "** green leaf" of Bayi Factory. The actor has played a variety of roles in several films, and while his roles are varied, his performances always shine on the spot.
He can perfectly interpret the simple peasants in "The Mountains and Rivers" and "The Heart of the Blue Sea", and he can also successfully portray the villain officers in "The Five Heroes of Langya Mountain" and "Battle of Shanghai".
In addition, in "Fighting the Invaders" and later "Fierce Battle of the Nameless River", the image of the North Korean old man he created is even more vivid and unforgettable.
Shi Cunyu, the actor who entered Bayi Factory in 1958, although he never played the leading role, his acting skills are amazing, and he is a real "screen all-rounder".
However, the brilliant actor died of illness in 1978 at the age of 56, a young death. It is a pity that Hua Wenlian also played the role of Jin Yushan.
It turned out that it was not the actor Zhao Wenyu of Changying Studio who played the North Korean girl Kim Ok-sun in "Fighting the Invaders", but Park Jung-ja in "Heroes' Children". Although the two look similar on screen, they are not the same person.
Hua Wenlian, the actress who played Kim Yushan in "Fighting the Invaders", not only has a beautiful appearance, but also a vivid and powerful performance, but unfortunately, she did not become popular because of this.
This may have something to do with the lack of credits in "Fighting the Invaders" and the fact that she has not appeared in film and television works since then.
Hua Wenlian had already entered the palace of marriage when filming "Fighting the Invaders", but her big braids in the play are still beautiful and moving. So, what about where she went later?
If you know how she is doing, please let us know in the comment area.
Yu Chunmian has created many military images on the screen that are loved by the audience, and these characters are straightforward and calm, such as Deng Bin in "Eastward Overture", Chen Lian Commander in "Breakthrough Wujiang", and Cui Kai in "Fighting the Invaders", etc., all of which show his military professionalism and personality charm.
His performance in "Fighting the Invaders" is passionate and professional, which perfectly interprets the demeanor of a soldier.
After Yu Chunmian successfully starred in "Fighting the Invaders", she successively starred in films such as "Fierce Battle of the Nameless River", "South China Sea Storm", "Liberation of Shijiazhuang" and other films.
Yu Chunmian retired in 1988 and died of illness in 1991 at the age of 63. He once played Yoon Ok-sun and left a deep impression on the audience.
In the movie "Fighting the Invaders", Li Songzhu can be called the one who is responsible for her appearance, and her role in the film is also at the heroine level. Her beautiful appearance has to be praised, and an old fan even described her beauty as having the charm of the country and the city.
Therefore, as soon as she appears in the film, she can immediately attract everyone's attention.
Previously, Li Songzhu attracted the attention of many directors because he played the role of Jin Shuzi in the movie "Ice and Snow Jindalai" by Changying Studio. However, what really made her a goddess in the hearts of the majority of fans was her performance in "Fighting the Invaders".
Her performance is affectionately engaged, and her beauty is unforgettable.
After participating in "Fighting the Invaders", she seemed to disappear from public view. Although Bayi Film Studio wanted to make her a professional film actress for them, she politely declined the offer.
The reason is that her heart is worried about her home in Yanbian, Jilin Province, as well as her husband and children there.
After the vicissitudes of life, Li Songzhu has faced countless difficulties, and even was relegated to the countryside to become a farmer for a period of time. It was not until the late 1970s that she returned to the literary world.
Although she participated in film and television dramas such as "Dandelion" and "Dusk", due to the mediocre response, she failed to attract wide attention from the audience.
She was a choreographer of the Yanbian Song and Dance Troupe, where she has been dedicated to dance creation and has won several awards. Although the years have left their mark in her hair, making her no longer young, her graceful temperament is still the same.
9. Daniel Zhang plays Kim Chol-kyu.
In the drama version of "Fighting the Invaders", the male protagonist Kim Chol-kyu played by Daniel Zhang left a deep impression on us. Although in the movie version, Kim Zhekui's role has been reduced, but Daniel Zhang's performance is still unforgettable.
His handsome face and the awe-inspiring righteousness between his eyebrows are deeply imprinted in our hearts. The phrase "I have the right to judge you, and the people have the right to judge you!" ”
's lines still echo in our ears today, which is shocking.
Daniel Zhang, a movie star of China's Bayi Factory, his classic role is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Whether it is Geng Hao in "Heroes and Tiger Courage", Shao Jianbo in "Lin Hai Xueyuan", or Fang Yong in "Surprise Attack", his performances are full of brilliance and unforgettable.
After Hu Xiaoguang finished filming "Fighting the Invaders", although he did not set foot in the film field for a while, he discovered Liu Xiaoqing, Tang Guoqiang and other emerging stars in the film industry.
Subsequently, he also became a film director, directing works such as "Echoes of Qilian Mountain" and "Silent Iceberg". Today, he is still active in the film and television industry, although he is nearly 90 years old and full of silver hair, his spirit is still strong and he has lived up to his youth.
It is worth mentioning that he played the role of political commissar Fang in the movie "Fighting the Invaders".
Hu Xiaoguang's image of Fang Political Commissar in "Fighting the Invaders" is impressive, especially his mobilization speech before the battle, whether it is actions, words or expressions, it is full of pride and ambition, which makes people's hearts surge.
As a film actor of Bayi Factory, Hu Xiaoguang not only played the role of Fang Political Commissar in "Fighting the Invaders", but also created many popular roles, such as the county party secretary in "County Party Secretary", Lin Fan in "Battle of Shanghai", Wang Commissioner in "Angry Tide", Minister Wei in "Tao is Asexual and Affectionate", and the old secretary in "Wind and Rain and Yangguandao".
Hu Zihui's image in the entertainment industry is impressive, and the characters he portrays are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and despite being in many films, people often remember his role rather than his name.
For example, his role as the head of the condolence group Mei made the audience unforgettable.
In "Fighting the Invaders", Hu Zihui's interpretation left a deep impression on us. Head Mei, an open-minded, noble-minded, and approachable condolence group leader, although there are not many scenes, her performance is vivid and powerful.
Although Hu Zihui is a drama actor by profession, he has won the love and praise of the audience for his role as the head of Mei in the movie "Fighting the Invaders". However, we do not know the current situation of this veteran artist of the ACFTU Art Troupe, which makes us feel sorry.
Similarly, Liu Bingzhang's role as Han Jun, the commander of the People's Army in the movie, is also unforgettable.
Liu Bingzhang unfortunately passed away on February 18, 2020, at the age of 98.
He has successfully created the image of the generals of the Korean People's Army in many film and television works, such as Han Jun, the commander of the People's Army in "Fighting the Invaders", and Colonel Hong of the People's Army in "Fierce Battle of the Nameless River", which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Wang Xiaozhong has played the roles of squad leader, regiment leader, division commander and other roles in many films, including "The Eve of the Fierce War", "The Eternal Wave", "Heroes and Tiger Courage", "Breaking through the Wujiang River", "Angry Tide" and so on.
In addition, he has also worked as a voice actor for a number of foreign translated films and military education films, including "Robin Hood", "The Sinking of Japan", "Barton", "Yamamoto Isoroku", "The Battle of Japan", "Shadow of Angkor", etc.
It is worth mentioning that he also played the pseudo-head Bai Changpu.
Some netizens said that when watching "Fighting the Invaders", they had the feeling of watching an anti-Japanese movie. This is mainly because the pseudo-head Bai Changpu played by Wang Xiaozhong, whether it is his appearance or performance style, has many similarities with the "Japanese devil" he played before.
Wang Xiaozhong, the veteran villain actor of Bayi Factory, is well-known to the audience for his various "Japanese devil" roles in the movie. His characters such as Nakamura, Yamada, Tada and Sakata are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and are well received.
Some people say that his performance on the screen can only be compared with Fanghua.
Wang Xiaozhong once acted in "Fighting the Invaders", but he suffered a similar setback to Zhang Liang in his acting career and was forced to return to the Northeast Harbin Railway Locomotive Depot Rolling Stock Factory as a mechanic.
Despite this, he did not give up his love for film acting, and was eventually accepted by Zhuying Studio to continue to develop in the film industry. Wang Xiaozhong died in Guangzhou in 2016 at the age of 88.
And Viga played Bullock.
Vidja is a mixed-race child, so she often plays foreigner roles in films, especially American soldiers, such as a U.S. lieutenant in "The 38th Parallel", an American attaché in "After the Armistice", and Bullock in "Fighting the Invaders".
No matter how many scenes he plays, he plays them very realistically.
He used to be a director of Bayi Factory, and created good films such as "Menggen Flower", "Children of Bashan", and "Liberation of Shijiazhuang", but his life came to an end in July 1999 at the age of 70.
Next, we will continue to focus on the stories of other actors.
Old movie lovers may find some familiar faces in Fight the Invaders. For example, Liu Shangxian, who played the heroine Wang Fang in "Heroes' Children", played the North Korean army operator in this movie; Henry Zhang, who played Gao Ziping in "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City", made a cameo appearance as an officer of the enemy puppet army in this movie; Xie Wanhe, who played the fake martial arts captain Sun Jincai in "Tunnel War", played the role of the enemy adjutant in this movie.
There are also Zhang Lianfu and Chen Yao, two former Bayi Factory actors in the film. Unfortunately, Henry Zhang, Xie Wanhe, Zhang Lianfu and others have all passed away, and Liu Shangxian, who was once known as the "goddess", is also 82 years old.
