In 1960, a movie "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" was released. Wang Runshen, who plays the role of detective "Yang Zirong" in the play, has impressed countless audiences with his image of a detective hero.
After coming out of this film, Wang Runshen will inevitably start his own rough life. It's still the same man, standing in the wind and waves, ushering in the dawn of darkness. 1
In 1924, a baby was born in a family in Baoding, Hebei Province. His father, Wang Kuiwu, held the son he longed for and kissed him again and again, saying, "This is a good seedling, and he will definitely become the third generation of the Wang family." !”
His grandfather Wang Zhenyuan was the founder of the Beikou Wang Sect of Northwest Dagu, and as his son Wang Kuiwu naturally inherited his mantle, so when he was only five or six years old, Wang Runshen had already learned to play the three-stringed string instrument. Play the erhu.
In this regard, at the age of 11, he followed his father through the streets and performed everywhere to support the family. During this period, he also became a disciple of Gao Zhendong, a local martial arts master, and learned "Xingyiquan" and "Wuxingquan".
In 1947, Wang Runshen defected to the Eighth Route Army without telling his father and became a member of the art troupe. In this regard, the dances of various ethnic groups such as the cavalry dance and the saber dance are also at hand, and everyone in the regiment is already well-known.
In 1949, Wang Runshen was incorporated into the Art Troupe of the Hebei Military Region, the provincial capital of Baoding. Walking on the streets of Baoding, I thought the fortune teller had held his hand, looked at his face, told him his birth date, and then said to him: "Your destiny will be in the shape of a saddle."
Wang Runshen was dubious about this statement. Having been a martial artist since childhood, he actually became more hesitant at this moment. There's something about a young daughter-in-law who doesn't know what to do when she first arrives at her husband's house. 2
In 1952, Wang Runshen was assigned to the Art Troupe of the North China Military Region, where he mingled with Zhang Liang, Tian Hua and others from the same period.
In 1956, the Bayi Film Studio opened its doors to welcome new talents. After receiving the recommendation, Zhang Liang, Tian Hua and Wang Runshen became professional film actors. Because of this, this name has been left in the history of film.
After Wang Runshen arrived at Bayi Studio, it didn't take long for him to get the opportunity to star in a movie. "The Night Before the Battle" became Wang Runshen's first movie.
Lu Weizhi, the detective section chief played in the film, is mentally sharp and pretends to break into enemy agents, and finally annihilates them all. At that time, he was already infected with Yang Zirong’s bandit spirit.
Wang Runshen, who became famous because of this, was even more reluctant to accept roles. Within a short period of time, he starred in classic red films such as "The Wings in the Sky" and "Battle of Shanghai".
In 1957, Wang Runshen signed up to play the role of Yang Zirong. As the director, Liu Peiran let him watch performances of various dramas. After watching different Yang Zirong, he asked: "Which Yang Zirong do you think is the best?" "What about Yang Zirong?" It has a touch of Chinese martial arts. If this person's speech, behavior, voice and appearance can have a bit of martial arts flavor, the character will be fuller." Wang Runshen's answer unintentionally played into the director's wish.
The director asked him to prepare two scenes first, one involving a verbal battle with bandits, and the other involving going into the mountains to present a picture. After Wang Runshen finished his performance, the director was very satisfied. He slapped the table and said, "That's it! Yang Zirong is you!"
In this way, Wang Runshen became Yang Zirong in the movie "Lin Hai Xue Yuan". 3
The location of "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" is actually in the deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain. It happens to be the coldest season in the Northeast. Wang Run is inevitably a bit out of place in it. After walking around, in order to find the bandits Feel.
Wang Runshen found a forest ranger who had been a bandit and worked with him. Drinking wine and eating meat to observe the "bandit spirit" in them. In this way, Yang Zirong, who is full of "bandit spirit", was finally played just right.
After the film was released as scheduled, Yang Zirong, played by Wang Runshen, received unprecedented critical acclaim, and this classic screen image has been remembered by more and more people.
The most important thing is that Wang Runshen became a well-known movie star. Together with Wang Xiaotang and Wang Xingang of the same period, he was known as the "Three Kings" of Bayi Film Studio.
It was not until he was forced to leave the Bayi Factory to participate in labor reform that Wang Runshen recalled what the fortune teller said. The "saddle-shaped destiny" was unfortunately revealed, and Wang Runshen fell into a ten-year dilemma. Years of career slump.
Wang Runshen returned to his hometown to farm. His lover originally had a heart disease. Faced with the sudden pressure of life, he still could not bear it until the day he came out. In 1968 He left Wang Runshen and his two children and passed away when he was just a year old.
That year, my son was 15 years old and my daughter was only 9 years old. Wang Runshen works in the fields during the day and takes care of his young children to sleep at night. Despite being a father and a mother, Wang Runshen perseveres in the life of being both a father and a mother. It is in line with the saying that love is home. 4
In such a difficult and low period, Wang Runshen finally survived.
By chance, when Tian Hua, Wang Xiaotang and others reunited, Tian Hua and Wang Xiaotang also said with emotion: "We have suffered a lot in these years, and no one has been filming."
In a few years After all the efforts were made, Wang Runshen still received God's mercy and returned to the film industry. Filmed films such as "Beidou", "Answer You Tomorrow" and "The Story That Shouldn't Happen".
During these years of suffering in the countryside, Wang Runshen didn’t have to perform at all, and he looked like a farmer. The accumulation of life made his performance calm and smooth, and concentrated and immersive.
In 1984, "The Story That Shouldn't Happen" starring Wang Runshen won the award. At the Golden Rooster Award Ceremony, Wang Runshen could not hide his excitement on the stage. Five years after Wang Runshen returned to the film industry, he climbed to a new peak. This may be the last saddle of his saddle-shaped destiny.
In 1979, a doctor at Changying introduced him to a wife named Wang Ping. As soon as the two met, they had a feeling that they had met too late, so in April 1980, the two registered their marriage.
After getting married, the two treated each other as if they were guests. Although they lived in a house of only one hundred square meters, their lives could be regarded as dependent on each other.
A taciturn and introverted man, an optimistic and enthusiastic person with complementary personalities, finally live together harmoniously and happily. In the eyes of many outsiders, how does this look like a reorganized family?
Wang Runshen said that his destiny in this life is like a saddle, with two ends raised high and only the middle sunken down. It is a long period of hardships and hardships. 5
Once upon a time, Wang Runshen, who filmed "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", was only 35 years old. By 2006, that iron-clad man had become an 82-year-old man.
The world has gone through vicissitudes of life, but the heroic spirit of the hero remains the same as before, and the many valleys and hills of the past are hidden within. Presumably when he looked back at his role as Yang Zirong, he must have had mixed feelings in his heart.
At 19:30 on September 27, 2007, Wang Runshen died of heart failure in the Provincial Hospital at the age of 83. At 10 a.m. on September 29, 2007, Wang Runshen’s funeral was held in Xiyuan, Changchun City.
Because Wang Runshen was relatively silent during his lifetime, Wang Ping advocated that the funeral should be simple and low-key, and Wang Runshen's wish was fulfilled.
The man has passed away, but the character created by Wang Runshen is still brilliant, and he has become an eternal hero in people's hearts. No, he should be more heroic than a hero!
