Character

Film review

Many young people don't know about Qian Qianli, but those who have seen "the angel of the road" remember Qian Qianli's hairdresser, "Xiao Chen, how does she know if your mouth stinks?" Compared with the protagonists Zhao Dan and Zhou Xuan, Qian Qianli's classic lines are also talked about by many die hard movie fans. Open minded, he said: "people should live healthily, happily and for the sake of others." This sentence seems to be a reflection of the old man's life. Wang Tianyun, vice president of Shanghai Film Group, recalled that he usually kept a low profile and didn't speak much. Jiang Ping, the vice general manager of China Film Group, summed up that Mr. Qian has been a supporting actor all his life and is willing to set off others all his life. As an actor, he has always been a supporting role for his best friend Zhao Dan; as a director, he has always been a deputy to master Zheng Junli. Before he died, Qian Qianli used to laugh at himself, "I'm the one who runs the Dragon set." But his every role, every work, now seems to be shining. Qian Qianli was the oldest of the main actors who took part in the shooting of "angel on the road". When he was alive, he recalled that he and his good friends yuan Muzhi, Wei Heling, Zheng Junli, Nie Er and Zhao Danzhi often met and chatted, often took night plays at night, and sometimes ate rice cakes and noodles at street stalls.

Green Leaf

Qian Qianli has always regarded himself as a green leaf in the history of Chinese film. He doesn't like to elevate himself. He used to humbly say that he had no position, but in the end he became an old artist. He even satirized that "longevity is a great master, but at the end it's a great master."

Frugal life

Qian Qianli lives frugally. After suffering from lung cancer, he didn't know what disease he had. His family kept it from him. Qian Qianli, who was lying in the hospital bed, had lost all his teeth and his words were vague, but he still repeated, "what can I do? I'm old. I have to spend the country's money to see a doctor. I can't bear it. I have to spend my children's money to see a doctor. I can't bear it. "

Character evaluation

Wang Tianyun commented: "he is a very important person in the history of Chinese film development. Qian Qianli's era is the era when Chinese film develops and rises rapidly, and realistic film goes to the world. At that time, the films were full of criticism of realism, with a kind of vigor and spirit. This kind of consciousness and tradition of making a difference in reality criticism is worth inheriting

Character experience

At that time, Qian Qianli, Zhao Dan, Gu Cai and Zhu Jinming, four brothers, organized a "small drama club" in their hometown to perform progressive drama. They were persecuted by the government and left their hometown angrily. In the late autumn of 1993, his hometown Jiang Ping accompanied the old man back to his hometown. The first time Jiang Ping met Qian Qianli was at his childhood friend's home. At that time, Jiang Ping was only sixteen or seventeen years old when he saw a bony old man in a black cotton padded jacket. He asked where he went to school and said that he had already entered the art troupe to perform "thousands of rivers and mountains". Qian Qianli's life was full of ups and downs. He was beaten to death in the cultural revolution and lost his hair overnight. He was called Qian Qianli's "ghost shaver". Finally, it can turn the bad into the good and turn the crisis into safety.
