At that time, he was played by Liu Shangxian, who won the love of countless audiences with his tenacity and bravery. However, just two years later, her circumstances have changed dramatically. Not only is no one looking for her to act anymore, but she will be excluded even when she goes to **. What's going on?
More than 50 years have passed, is she doing now? Let's look for the story of "Wang Fang". Back in 1963, director Wu Zhaodi was planning a movie with the background of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, and the script had already been written, but he couldn't find a suitable heroine.
Wu Zhaodi has very high standards for the heroine, she not only needs to be beautiful, but also have a heroic spirit, and she must have a little bookish spirit.
It seemed that this requirement was difficult to achieve, so he ran all over the country to the drama troupe, Peking Opera troupe, and art troupe, but never found a suitable candidate.
Just when he was about to give up, his friend Xie Jin found a girl who looked like a heroine, her name was Liu Shangxian. Liu Shangxian was a student at the film school at the time, and she had two big braids, big eyes and a melon seed face.
She was carrying a large prop in the hallway of the academy and looked very strong. Xie Jin just wanted to stop her, but he was still a little slow, and Liu Shangxian turned the corner and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Xie Jin hurriedly ran to Wu Zhaodi's residence and told him that he had found "Wang Fang".
Wu Zhaodi followed Xie Jin to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory of the film academy in disbelief, and finally found Liu Shangxian in a dormitory who was chatting with her roommate in bed.
When Wu Zhaodi saw her, he had a hunch that this girl was the "Wang Fang" he had been looking for. In the movie, Liu Shangxian's performance was recognized, and she became one of the most popular actresses of the time with her superb acting skills.
And the success of the movie also made her career take off quickly. However, just two years later, Liu Shangxian's situation has changed dramatically. She no one asked her to act anymore, and she was ostracized even when she walked outside. What's going on?
There are rumors that she was suppressed and even rumored because she refused the non-sub-point requests of some directors. However, we do not know what the truth is. However, this distressed her, and she felt ashamed of her audience friends who liked her.
Eventually, she chose to leave the entertainment industry and started her own small business. She became a beautician and opened a beauty salon. However, even after leaving the showbiz, Liu Shangxian has not been forgotten by the world.
Her masterpiece "Children of Heroes" is still remembered, and she has become a legend. More than 50 years have passed, but how is she now? She is already in her old age, but she still maintains her elegant temperament and is busy in her small beauty salon.
She has not forgotten the movies she has made, and she is still grateful to her audience friends. The role of "Wang Fang" made Liu Shangxian an an actress, and her performance also made the role more vivid and interesting.
However, her experience also tells us that the path of an actor is full of bumps and uncertainties. Sometimes, success is only a matter of moments, and failure is also a common occurrence.
However, we need to learn to be resilient and take on challenges in order to be invincible in this industry. This is an inspirational story about a girl whose name is Liu Shangxian.
At the time, she was still a college student, and after seeing the recruitment advertisement for actors, she did not hesitate to go to the audition. And at the audition site, she met director Wu Zhaodi.
Wu Dao saw that her little tiger teeth were particularly prominent, and when she spoke, she was particularly eye-catching, so he hesitated for her and asked her to straighten her teeth before she could get this role.
Liu Shangxian immediately returned to Shanghai to get her teeth straightened without saying a word, and also studied Korean inspiration for a few months in order to better interpret the role. By the time she appeared in front of the director again, she had completely changed someone.
At that time, she was selected and became the heroine of the movie "Children of Heroes" Wang Fang. However, during the filming process, Liu Shangxian encountered countless tests. In order to highlight the bitter cold of the Korean battlefield, the crew rushed to the northeast in January to shoot the winter scenes.
At that time, there was no advanced heating equipment, and the cold of minus twenty or thirty degrees in the northeast was unbearable for Liu Shangxian, a girl from the south. Not to mention, she had to jump into the icy river in a big cotton jacket.
At the same time, the bitter cold was accompanied by the rumbling sound of artillery and gunsmoke. At that time, there was no advanced post-production technology, in order to ensure the authenticity of the war scenes, the director team specially found troops to cooperate, and all the big scenes were real knives, real guns, and real cannons.
Under such conditions, Liu Shangxian, who was in her early twenties, persevered for several months. It can be said that the shooting environment is as dangerous as the real battlefield. But she didn't give up and persevered to fulfill the role.
On New Year's Day in 1965, this "Heroic Children", which was filmed after a lot of hard work, was finally released. It caused a sensation as soon as it started, and the streets and alleys were full of posters of this movie. Everyone is talking about the plot content of the movie.
Many newborn girls were named Wang Fang by their mothers, and Liu Shangxian became the national idol of the year. Her performance has been praised and has also made her a professional actress. In the second year, she followed the troops into Vietnam and performed condolence performances for her comrades on the front line.
This story teaches us that as long as we have a dream and strive for it, we can achieve it. In the long and arduous journey of life, only by persevering and working hard can we win success.
Liu Shangxian is a strong and brave girl, she uses her practical actions to tell us that only by persevering and working hard can we create our own brilliance. The artillery fire on the battlefield made her dizzy, and she instantly returned to the shooting scene of the hero's children.
The blood was boiling, the smoke was filled, and the figures of Wang Fang and Liu Shangxian began to merge and became a remarkable figure. Beautiful, young, capable, and even on the battlefield! Ms. Liu's future is dizzyingly bright.
However, a few days after the glorious days, tragedy struck. In the blink of an eye, she changed from the proud daughter of the sky that everyone envied to the "plague god" that everyone avoided. In 1966, the cultural catastrophe quietly began.
Liu Shangxian's parents, former engineers and intellectuals, became the first targets to be defeated. Even if Liu Shangxian is in the limelight at this time, she can't escape the curse of "bad family composition".
When she returned to the studio, her colleagues, who had been so enthusiastic about her, changed faces. The dramatic roles that once asked her to play the heroine have all been replaced. Not only did no one ask her to act, but she also wanted her to stay up all night to write inspections and reflect on herself.
Liu Shangxian, who was physically and mentally exhausted, asked the leader to change careers, but the leader refused to approve it, but instead assigned her to the crew to do scene notes and be responsible for behind-the-scenes work. At that time, many fans who didn't know the truth wrote to Liu Shangxian to ask why she stopped acting.
Liu Shangxian couldn't explain it at all, so she could only cry all night at those sincere letters. For Liu Shangxian, the whole sky turned extremely gray. It wasn't until that person appeared that her life was rejuvenated.
The person who "saved Liu Shangxian's life" was Shen Guorui, the recording engineer in the factory at that time. The power of love! Shen Guorui is a native of Ningxia, tall, with long legs, good facial features, and more importantly, he is broad-minded and dares to fight for justice. He's the standard northern guy.
He was also an actor in a repertory theatre before turning his career to become a sound engineer. Compared with Liu Shangxian, he is overshadowed by both his family background and work. Therefore, even if he was moved by Liu Shangxian when they met for the first time, he did not dare to confess.
However, after the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, he watched his beloved girl being tortured, and he tossed and turned all night long, unable to sleep. In order to be reassuring, he began to take the risk and take the initiative to approach Liu Shangxian. Whenever Liu Shangxian was ostracized, he quietly ate with her.
Whenever Liu Shangxian was punished to clean up, he took the initiative to help. Every night, when Liu Shangxian was asked to stay up late to write ***, he guarded her in the cold wind and watched her window.
It wasn't until she finished writing that he was relieved to send her back to the dormitory, and he would return to his residence to rest with peace of mind. Although Shen Guorui did not express it clearly, Liu Shangxian is not a fool.
She knew that Comrade Shen liked her, but she also understood that she was now a "plague god", and whoever she came into contact with was unlucky. So, she often reminds him to stay away from herself. And the colleagues around Shen Guorui often persuade him to give up, intentionally or unintentionally.
He has a military status, a good family, and should have a bright future. You really shouldn't ruin your life for the sake of an inconsequential person.
However, Shen Guorui didn't care at all, and even when Liu Shangxian was assigned to the cadre school of labor education, he made bold statements, declaring that he would wait for her forever. In Bayi Film Factory, there is a girl named Liu Shangxian, who is working hard every day to do her job.
She has always wanted to be an actress, but for various reasons, she can only do some behind-the-scenes work. However, she was not discouraged by this. She works hard and doesn't give up on her dreams.
She often prays silently in her heart: I hope that one day I can play a real role. One day, she finally had a chance. At that time, Bayi Film Studio was filming a movie called "Shining Red Star".
This is a theme about the Liberation War, and Liu Shangxian has the opportunity to play one of the small roles. When she got the opportunity, she threw herself into her work. She played her role seriously and tried her best to put her mind on this role.
Soon, however, things changed. The leaders of the film company decided that this role should be played by someone else. Liu Shangxian was very disappointed, she felt that her efforts were in vain. She was sad, she felt that she really couldn't be an actress anymore.
However, she didn't give up. She continues to work hard and do her best behind the scenes. She believes that as long as she keeps working hard, one day, her dream will come true. So, she continued to work silently.
Although she did not become an actress, she quietly contributed to the success of the film behind the scenes. Although she did not get any fame and fortune, her efforts were recognized by others.
In the process, she also met her lover, a man named Shen Guorui. Shen Guorui is a sound recordist, and he also works at Bayi Film Studio.
He is deeply in love with Liu Shangxian, and he knows that although Liu Shangxian did not become an actor, she quietly contributed to the success of the film behind the scenes. He also knows that Liu Shangxian's dedication has been recognized by others.
Because of this incident, Shen Guorui was also marginalized in Bayi Factory. Every time he is promoted or has a good project, it is not his turn. has been mixed for many years, and he is still a low-level recording engineer. But he didn't give up, he still worked silently.
He knows that as long as he has been working hard, there will be a day when his efforts will be recognized. So, he continued to work hard. Although he did not gain any fame or fortune, his efforts were recognized by others.
He knew that so was his lover, who had been working quietly and contributing to the success of the film. Later, the 10-year Holocaust came to an end. Liu Shangxian finally resumed her identity as an actor again. But she is no longer young, and she can no longer play the leading role.
simply changed careers completely and became a director. It can only be said that gold will shine in **. After changing careers, Liu Shangxian ushered in the second spring of her career. The films she participated in such films as "Chinese Interpol" and "Zhongshan under the Wind and Rain" have achieved good results.
By 2023, Liu Shangxian will be in her 80s. But under the care of her husband Shen Guorui, her body is quite tough. The two often walk and paint together, and their relationship has never changed for decades. Looking back on the past, the suffering of the past seems to be a cloud of smoke.
For today's Liu Shangxian, the light boat has crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains. Only the role of "Wang Fang" still shines in the memories of countless people. This story tells us that as long as we keep trying, there will come a time when our dreams will come true.
Whether we are in front of or behind the scenes, as long as we work with our heart, we will always be recognized by others.
