Brief introduction and detailed information of Teng Rujun

(Beijing Morning Post) There is a familiar face in the disaster TV series "Level 1 Fear" being broadcast: Teng Rujun.

Many people may be unfamiliar with this name, but when they see this face, many people say, "The old man's play is very good." From Uncle Lohan in Zhang Yimou's film Red Sorghum to the Chief of Security in Ambush; From Ding Ruchang in the TV series "Beiyang Navy" to the old father in "Year after year". Although these roles also left an impression on the audience, it was at last year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony that Teng Rujun won the best actor for the film The Mountain, the Man and the Dog. He jumped up excitedly and said, "Tonight, I am the most brilliant!" For those who are familiar with Teng Rujun, it was expected that he won the prize, but it was a bit unexpected. Because Teng Rujun is a person who is introverted and never puffed up, but enjoys himself at home.

Although Teng Rujun always impresses people with his positive image on the fluorescent screen and educates people with the spirit of taking the lead, in fact, Teng Rujun, who is in his early fifties, is a big friend of young people in life. People around him always don't understand why Teng Rujun is so old and so serious as soon as he gets to the fluorescent screen. In fact, his students often forget his dignity as a teacher, and his children forget that he is their own elder. Teng Rujun loves to play, but he prefers to enjoy himself. He seldom has the necessary entertainment for actors. He spends most of his time at home-mending a pair of slippers and fiddling with a potted flower can take him a day. Occasionally, I will stay up late to play video games and watch Jin Yong's martial arts novels. According to his wife, when he was young, he could play everything, dancing and figure skating were excellent, unlike now, he was too lazy to move anywhere except filming. He even seldom goes out to eat, but spares no effort to praise every dish cooked by his wife at home.

The fame and fortune brought by filming seems not to be reflected at all in Teng Rujun's home. Up to now, there is no security door installed in his home, and the floor is cement floor without decoration, and the furniture has been used for many years. During the nap, he will turn off the phone and cut off from the outside world. The golden rooster, a symbol of honor, stood high on the top of the cabinet, buckled with a plastic bag and fell some dust.

Wonderful film review

Red Sorghum is a mythical legend. The whole film praises humanity and vigorous vitality in a mysterious color. Therefore, praising life is the theme of the film. "It is to praise life, the gushing vitality and the freedom and extension of life through the shaping of characters' personalities." (Zhang Yimou: "Director's Explanation") It is precisely because of this praise for life and the exquisite film language that Red Sorghum won the international honor, which is also the highest honor that China's film has won in the world so far.

Red Sorghum is not a very realistic work, nor is it a kind of root-seeking for national culture. On the contrary, in this story, which relates three generations to the past tense, a personality with future significance is created, which transcends the concrete social surface and has the depth of human nature and essence. The theme called by the film from beginning to end is vigorous vitality, that is, to publicize the life view of being undistorted, unrestrained and frank. Therefore, the work before the audience is not an understood world, but an ideal for the life of a world. This ideal is in the myth of "sun worship". Red Sorghum is different from any previous film reflecting farmers, and its perspective has changed from the traditional praise of land to the praise of life. The extraordinary characteristics of the story determine the unreality of the narrative, and the location of the story is also diluted. In the film, the most basic structure of society-village is even diluted. All narrative elements and audio-visual elements in the film are serving the warm, free and stirring style of this natural life.

Different from previous exploration films, Red Sorghum also carries the director's ideas about the theme of life, but it doesn't completely downplay the plot like exploration films such as Yellow Land, and directly expresses the director's ideas by the shocking power of pure film video language. In this film, Zhang Yimou weaves a complete, beautiful and moving story frame from the actual situation and the specific characters in the specified situation, so that the ideas naturally overflow through the twists and turns of the story and the behaviors and actions of the characters. Here, how does the director achieve the perfect combination of the two through specific methods?

First of all, the film itself has a complete story line, but this narrative line is mostly completed by voice-over. At the beginning of the film, when it was all black, the narrative of "I" came from the vocal cords; "Let me tell you something about my grandfather and grandmother, which has still been mentioned in my hometown." This is a viewpoint that recounts in the present tense, and this "I" is the narrator of a story here. Because he didn't appear in the story, he is supposed to be an objective narrator, but he is the descendant of the characters in the story, which makes him have some sense of participation, and thus has the meaning of being narrated. Therefore, this viewpoint is very strange and novel, which gives the director a comfortable viewpoint reference when dealing with the whole play, which is very free and omniscient. At the same time, the characteristics of his narrative pull the story far away and have the effect of historical alienation. On the basis of this viewpoint, the director explained the fiction of the story in this opening remarks. "After a long time, some people believe it, while others don't." Therefore, it is very comfortable to incorporate the story into the unrealistic time and space.

There are 12 voiceovers in the film. The main plot turning points in the film, such as the relationship between the characters, the surrounding environment and the time transition, are almost all explained by the voice-over. For example, the relationship between my grandmother and leprosy shopkeeper Li Datou, the "something congenial" of sorghum land, the rules for the bride to go back to her hometown after three days of marriage, the killing of Li Datou, the process of kidnapping my grandmother with bald guns, the departure of uncle Lohan, and the appearance of Japanese people. Voice-over also assumes a kind of "pre-narration" function in this film. For example, when sedan chair leaves, the voice-over tells the audience that the sedan chair style will become my grandfather, which increases the audience's "horizon of expectation" and makes the progress of the picture story more tense. In the traditional films, the passages that are particularly easy to play are all lost by the voiceover, so the director can enjoy the space and pictures of the film, and use most of the pictures to express the sedan chair, road robbery, sexual intercourse, toasting god and total solar eclipse, so that the ideas are attached to the specific pictures and to the ceremonies with strong symbolic meaning of life, thus achieving the artistic situation of virtual and real coexistence. Indeed, the voice-over is infiltrated into the story as a dramatic factor in the film, which "sews up" the past and the present, ideas and stories.

Secondly, when we face Red Sorghum, we will feel that the whole film is saturated with the brilliant red. Red is the color of the sun, blood and sorghum. Here, the director's use of color is highly stylized. At the beginning of the film, my grandmother's rosy face is full of life, which is beautiful and young. Then, the red veil that fills the screen, the warm and full red sedan chair, the sun shining on the wild dancing sorghum stalks during the outing, the red sorghum wine like a red rain, bloody human flesh, and the whole film is covered with red. The director's choice of this tone almost completely deprives us of our attention to the plot of the drama and enters a purely emotional experience of a specific modeling space. This is a kind of longing and praise for the perfect and free natural life. This is not the reappearance of a completely realistic time and space, but the spiritual externalization of our inner vitality. At the end of the film, in the mysterious total solar eclipse, the expansion of red has gained a solidified and almost eternal silence effect. The black and red sorghum stretches and flows to fill the whole screen space, which is extremely brilliant, gorgeous and magnificent.

Third, the film's spatial environment and modeling are trying to seek a simple color and a mysterious and spacious space. All trivial contrast, coordination and transition have been abandoned, creating a living space of lofty, sacred and mysterious life. The film is mainly about two spatial environments: the sorghum field and the brewing workshop, which embodies the ancient consciousness of life, such as the wind and rain erosion, the round doorway of the 18th Li Po like a castle. And that piece of sorghum land, which is left to fend for itself, reveals the sacredness of life. When the picture is full of sorghum fields, it is a huge symbol group of natural life, stretching, grand, strong, warm and generous. The three renderings of sorghum in the film all show the integrity of human and natural life. When my grandmother was lying on the altar trampled by my grandfather with tears on her face, four overlapping scenes of sorghum dancing wildly appeared on the screen in succession. Here, the sorghum field is the witness of the birth of life. In the scene where the Japanese forced the people to trample on sorghum, they felt the shock of their lives being destroyed. At the end of the film, my grandfather and my father stood in the red sunshine like clay sculptures. Facing the high-speed flowing sorghum lens, what we aroused in our hearts was a kind of confidence in life and a tribute to a warm and tragic life.

Of course, there are still some problems worth discussing in the ideological connotation and implication direction of Red Sorghum, but as a masterpiece of Chinese movies, it goes down in history, but there is no doubt. That man, that mountain, that dog

A movie that makes all men cry

(translated from Douban Author: Yi)

A person quietly watched "That man, that dog" directed by Jianqi Huo (1998). Tears filled my eyes four times. For the fourth time, tears finally came to my eyes.

A movie with little production cost and no big scenes suddenly made me feel that a movie like The Banquet, which looks passable, is actually rubbish, complete rubbish.

it's all because of one word: love.

"That mountain, that man and that dog" is like a beautiful, subtle, warm and meaningful essay. What permeates the light, shadow and music is the deep affection, the affection between father and son, the affection between postman and villagers, the affection between man and animals, and the affection between man and nature. And the flow of "The Banquet", like a gorgeous piece of shit, looks beautiful, but it can't touch people's hearts at all.

The film begins on a foggy morning. The rural postman who is about to retire, accompanied his successor's son for the last time to take a postal route to Dashan. From the beginning, the film caught me: the ethereal and beautiful background music, clean and green rural scenery, and the classical Xiangxi folk houses laid the beautiful, fresh and tender tone of the whole film.

Walking up the mountain road with my father and son, while enjoying the beautiful countryside in western Hunan, we gradually found that the relationship between the father and son is very subtle: because the father has been sending letters all the year round, there is very little communication with his son, and the son is both looking forward to his father's return home and afraid to talk to him, and even a "dad" is rarely uttered. At this point, we probably know that this three-day long postal route will be the road to reconciliation between the father and son. Unsurprisingly, in these three days, my son walked into his father's past life for the first time: without telling his blind grandmother, his grandson, who works for her outside, wrote to her and sent her money; Attend the wedding banquet of Dong people and dance with young Dong girls; Drove through a cold stream and warmed himself by it; Pulled by a rope by a mountaineer, he climbed a steep mountain road and knew that his father had rolled down the mountain and was in a coma for an afternoon. Rest on an old wind and rain bridge and drink spring water for pedestrians; I spent the night in a farmer's house, and I heard the complicated insects chirping in the mountains outside the window ... The farther this road goes, the closer my son is to his father's heart. This is no longer a simple mountain road, but more like my father's journey back and forth all his life. On the other hand, with the sadness of leaving the mountains, the father gradually entered his son's heart. From his son's mouth, he learned how many times his wife waited eagerly, and the loneliness of his son's growth. More importantly, he learned that although his son is very much like himself when he was young, the times have branded him differently: he likes listening to pop music, has his own views on things, and his blood is full of restless factors. On this road, they gradually understood and tolerated each other. When the father secretly shed tears on his son's back, when the son inadvertently shouted "Dad, let's go", I believe all men will be heartbroken and wet with tears. That's because we all have such a father, and we are such a son.

The film reached its climax before the end. On that quiet night in the mountain village where only insects can be heard, my father sat by the bed, watching his sleeping son, and then went to bed, gently lying beside him. At this time, my son leaned his head on his father's shoulder and pressed his leg on his father's leg in his dream ... This reminds me of my article "Father Sleeping by My Side". It turns out that every man wants to hug his father, but I can't. How did the Beiyang Navy, which once made a great impact on the world, be established and become the first in Asia, and how did it die in the sea, thus going to ruin. Truly reproduce the bloody battle between China and Japan, the Lushun Massacre, the Korean Pyongyang War, the Liaodong Campaign, the Toyoda Naval Battle, the Yellow Sea Naval Battle, and the Shandong Weihai War.

in 1855, Chen Baozhen, the minister of ship administration, founded Fuzhou Ship Administration School, which trained the first batch of young naval officers to become commanders of Fujian Navy and Beiyang Navy.

On March 31, 1877, some of these outstanding naval officers went to study in the British Naval Academy, bearing the high hopes and great trust given to them by the state. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan stepped up its efforts to purchase and manufacture warships and accelerated its development. Officers sent by the navy also studied in Britain and became their later opponents. In 1874, the Japanese shelled Taiwan Province on the pretext that sulfur ball fishermen were killed and sent troops to log in.

at 13: 5 on August 23rd, 1884, the naval battle of Majiang broke out; In 1888, the Beiyang Navy of the Megatron World was formally established, with two large armored ships, eight cruisers, six gunboats, sixteen torpedo boats and five training ships ... 56 ships in total, with more than 4, officers and men.

the sino-Japanese-Korean war broke out in 1894. at 7: 45 on July 25th, the Japanese navy suddenly attacked the Beiyang navy fleet at Fengdao, the mouth of Yalu River. The Japanese army, escorted by the fleet, forcibly entered North Korea and stormed the Qing army stationed in Pyongyang. September
