"Lalala, lalala, I'm a little connoisseur of selling newspapers."
In 1933, composer Nie Er created this fast-paced and catchy children's song based on the newspaper girl "Xiao Maotou" on Xiafei Road in Shanghai. To this day, "Newspaper Selling Song" is still an enduring song in kindergartens and elementary schools, educating generations of children and teenagers. 1In 979, after the release of "The Newsboy" filmed by the Beijing Film Studio, it left a deep memory for generations of children, just like feature films such as "Shining Red Star" and "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".。How was this movie filmed? Today, Bai Yu will have a good chat with you.
In 1977, writers Lu Yanglie and Bingfu jointly created a novella ** "Foggy Newsboy".。This ** is based on the experience of Luo Chuan'er, a newsboy of Chongqing Xinhua ** Society, and vividly describes: In order to expose the truth of Chiang Kai-shek's brazen launch of the "Southern Anhui Incident", the newsboys fought against spies, police, and gendarmes under the leadership of ***.
*After it was published in the magazine "Children's Literature", it immediately caused a huge response。In March 1978, Zhejiang People's Publishing House, Shandong People's Publishing House, and Heilongjiang Publishing House successively published the first Wudu Newsboy.
In 1981, the People's Fine Arts Publishing House asked Zhang Zhengping to adapt, and Ma Zhensheng and Zhu Licun joined forces to draw the color *** foggy newsboy. InIn that era of scarcity of books, "The Foggy Newsboy" was a treasure that children rushed to circulate, decorating the childhood dreams of thousands of teenagers.
In 1978, Shao Chongfei, Zhu Yi and others created the classic drama "Newsboy" based on the Xinhua News Agency newsboy. Through a group of vibrant newsboys, the work truly and objectively reflects the history of the revolutionary struggle of "Xinhua **". It not only made us see the glorious image of *** again, but also wrote a new chapter in the history of Chinese drama.
The drama portrays vivid characters and distinctive personalities, and has been highly affirmed by all walks of life once it has been performed.
In 1979, Beijing Film Producers invited the original cast of the drama "Newsboy" to shoot this color feature film of the same name. The release of dramas and movies triggered strong memories of the staff in "Xinhua **" back then. During the "Southern Anhui Incident", Li Pu, who had worked in "Xinhua **", wrote such a poem after watching the drama:
The sound of selling newspapers made a foggy city, and the Chinese calendar was full of tears.
Hongyan gave me a thousand powers, and the white-haired Hogo traveled thousands of miles.
Xinhua** was first published in Hankou on January 11, 1938. After the fall of Wuhan in 1938, the newspaper moved to No. 50 Zengjiayan, Chongqing. Initially, the distribution of Xinhua ** was similar to that of a regular newspaper. After the "Southern Anhui Incident", the Kuomintang began to suppress speech and block the distribution of newspapers.
To this end, "Xinhua**" began to recruit newsboys and newspapermen to help complete the distribution work. At that time, most of the newsboys of "Xinhua**" were street children in the city, aged 12-18 years old, and the older ones were "newspaper boys".
The life of a newspaper boy is very hard, every day around 4:30 to 5 o'clock, you have to go to the newspaper office to line up to receive the newspaper. The newsboys have to run hungry in the morning, shouting and selling, and if they run slowly, they will be preempted by others。Residential areas, tram stops, teahouses, theaters, and newsboys have to walk a long way every day, and dozens of newspapers have to travel half the city to sell out。On rainy days, there is a danger of slipping and falling, and the newspaper will not be sold if it gets wet.
In the movie "The Newsboy",Shi Lei is much taller than the little newsboy "Cricket" who sells "** Sweeping Newspaper", and he is much better dressed than him.
According to the memories of the comrades of that year, ".The living conditions of the newsboys in Xinhua are much better than those of ordinary newsboys, and many of them are orphansThere is no allowance, but you can get half of the money if you sell a newspaper and you can sell it, and the more you sell, the more you earn.
In the morning, the comrades of the newspaper office ate porridge, and at that time let the newspaper boys eat dry rice, and there were two side dishes and a soup. If the newsboy is sick, he will be sent to our party's clinic, and sometimes the general manager, Xiong Jinyu, will personally cut the pulse for them.
After the newsboys and the newspaper boys came to the newspaper office, they should first conduct preliminary political education so that they could understand what kind of newspaper "Xinhua **" was. Why the enemy forbade us to sell newspapers, and how to deal with the enemy's obstruction and scolding.
The general manager, editor, and reporter of the newspaper are the best teachers, and they talk about current affairs and politics, the heroic achievements of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, social phenomena, and struggle strategies.
The "cricket" that was touched in the movie also has extraordinary significance. In those days, our party would buy back a large number of outdated "Ta Kung Pao" from newspaper sellers, cut off the masthead of the newspaper, and then put "Xinhua**" in it. In this way, the "modified newspaper" of "white skin and red heart" has become the best disguise for "Xinhua **".
Once our newspaper boys and newspaper boys are caught by the military police, police, and spies, the newspaper will send people to negotiate and rescue, and put forward **, and know the righteousness. If the situation is serious, the general manager of the newspaper, Xiong Jinyu, and even Comrade *** will be invited to come forward. At that time, a newspaper member of the Beibei Distribution Station was arrested by the Kuomintang "Youth Training Corps", and it was Vice Chairman Zhou who personally negotiated and released the person.
When he returned to Yan'an to report the situation to Comrade Xinhua, he would also report on the struggle of "Xinhua**". After listening to the report, ** said: "We have the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and "Xinhua**" is also a front army, called the Xinhua Army, and the newspaper boy is its top soldier."
Before the film crew went to Chongqing, Comrade Deng Yingchao watched the TV film "Newsboy" and specially hit the crew. While her old man praised the work of the crew, she also put forward higher requirements.
Qian Jiang, the director of "The Newsboy", has the same experience as Shi Lei, the male protagonist in the movie, and his father is the famous Qian Zhuangfei, who died on the Long March as early as 1935。He was the child of a martyr, who was personally raised and nurtured by the respected Vice Chairman Zhou.
Comrade Li Ruojun, who played Shi Lei, was in his 40s when he filmed this movie. She also has a special affection for ***, as the first generation of children's drama workers in my country, ** has educated and encouraged her many times.
Beijing Film actor Lu Guilan, who played Sister Li in "The Paperboy", recalled: The first time I saw *** was in 1961. He looked at me and said, "You are the sister of "Little Sisters on Ice"? I found it in Harbin Department Store, which is very good! After the Prime Minister finished speaking, he laughed heartily.
Qin Kun, who plays the reckless one, is also a lesbian in her 40sIn order to show her recklessness, she has to run through the mossy old streets, and she also uses skills such as "climbing over walls and trees" and "drilling barbed wire" to circle and detour with the enemy.
The newsboys' firm publication of "Xinhua **" for the sake of brightness and future is also the belief of listening to the party and following the party. In the movie, the Kuomintang cut off the power to the newspaper in order to obstruct the release of "Xinhua **", and it was *** to light a match and light a candle. Like a bright light, warmth illuminates the hearts of people across the country.
During the filming of the newsboy film crew in Chongqing, it inspired the people of Shancheng to deeply miss the prime minister. Whether it is in Zengjiayan, or on the bank of the Jialing River, whether it is in Wanglongmen Wharf, or in the factory office, the people of Shancheng are full of enthusiasm to provide the greatest support for the film crew. Because everyone knows that making this movie is to express the people's eternal nostalgia for ***.
