"I'm back in Hu Hansan!" -32 years ago, this movie line was also passed down from mouth to mouth by modern people.
Accompanied by these two lines, the famous actor Liu Jiang left a deep memory on the screen. All of them were "bad guys" with bulging eyes and full faces, which made people "hate their guts and gnash their teeth".
Boy, that was a real show.
Liu Jiang was born in Liaoyang, Liaoning, and 1925 was born in a poor family in Harbin. When he was 6 years old, the Japanese entered the northeast. Liu Jiang, a young man, witnessed the Japanese riding a high-headed foreign horse rampaging in the street, killing people. The expressions of fear and despair of the dead and wounded, and the shameless behavior of the devils and traitors were firmly imprinted in Liu Jiang's memory. He often tells the children, "When I grow up, I must pick up my gun and kill all these bastards."
Because of the war, Liu Jiang, who was only 13 years old, had to finish his studies early and go to a factory as an apprentice. I work hard for more than ten hours every day, earning a pitiful salary, and I have to be beaten and scolded if I am not careful. Later, by chance, Liu Jiang was admitted to the post office and engaged in postal and car escort work. While successfully escaping from the "magic cave" of the factory, he can earn more money to subsidize his family.
At that time, Liu Jiang was surrounded by a group of friends who loved literature and art. Under their influence, Liu Jiang joined Harbin Beidou Amateur Experimental Troupe 194 1. At first, he just helped set up, put up posters and collect tickets. Gradually, everyone saw that he was diligent and clever, and began to find some small roles for him in the play. When he first came to power, Liu Jiang played a punk, a small role with almost no lines. But after the break, walking in the crowd, someone recognized him. A comment "Boy, that's really the case" made him so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. Several years later, Liu Jiang recalled his artistic career and always thought that it was this experience that inspired his hidden artistic enthusiasm.
Playing bad guys has been shot more times than Chen Qiang.
Harbin liberation 1946. Seeing that friends around him joined the army in succession, Liu Jiang was moved. He decided to give up his job in the post office and join the army. But he didn't expect that after joining the army, he joined the art troupe, and the "weapon" he picked up turned out to be "performance", and on the road of performance, he actually walked all his life.
When he first joined the army, he just happened to catch up with the whole army and began to complain about education. Liu Jiang was chosen to play the landlord bully "Huang Shiren" because of his suitable appearance. More than once, the soldiers watching the performance under the stage were so angry that they raised their guns at Liu Jiang and pulled the trigger. He was lucky to escape. Afterwards, Liu Jiang was not afraid at all, but very happy. "Their reaction is so strong that it can only show that I am acting like a. This kind of thing happened to Chen Qiang only once, but it happened to me too many times. " .
In this way, Liu Jiang played "Huang Shiren" in Bullets for five years, which made people gradually remember him as a "bad guy".
/kloc-in the spring of 0/952, the army was reorganized, and Liu Jiang, as the backbone of literature and art, was transferred to the Central South Army Art Theatre and became a full-time drama actor. In Wuhan, Liu Jiang played for four years. In famous plays such as Who's Attacking, Unknown Hero and Before the New Director Arrives, he successfully played the roles of capitalist, landlord and senior enemy general. The hat of the "bad guy" is getting bigger and bigger.
Liu Jiang, who was originally "restless", also thought about taking off this hat. After all, in that era of advocating heroes, everyone wanted to leave a glorious image on the screen. But he is only 1.65 meters tall and weighs more than 80 kilograms, which makes the director always unconsciously put him in the "bad guys" pile.
If you can't change it, just accept the reality. What's more, playing the villain is also successful if it can make people gnash their teeth and hate their guts! Liu Jiang began to seriously study how to play the bad guys. He recorded all the bad guys he saw, arranged them into many notes, and extracted the descriptions of the bad guys he had read in various books. When portraying villains, these research results are poured into them.
Playing the bad guy has a brilliant idea.
The film Die Hard Rowen is Liu Jiang's screen debut. He played another bandit with only one line.
Although there is only one line, Liu Jiang has carefully prepared it. On the day of shooting, Liu Jiang first peed with his back to the camera, shivered twice, put on his pants and turned around. He paused and suddenly said, "Don't run around, old man, or you'll hit your head!" " After 48 hours, everyone watched the movie together, and when they saw Liu Jiang tremble twice, they burst into laughter: "This kid is really good!"
From then on, director Yan Jizhou decided that Liu Jiang was suitable to play the villain role, and even said, "He played all the places I didn't let him play, and he thought very specifically and carefully."
1965, director Xudong Ren selected actors for the film Tunnel Warfare. Many people don't want to touch the role of "Commander Tang" as an enemy, puppet and traitor, but Liu Jiang readily accepted: "Commander Tang is a traitor for honor and shame, and he is a mother if he has milk, so I designed him as a dog, a pug raised by the Japanese, which gives people the first impression of nausea."
In order to highlight the identity of Commander Tang, Liu Jiang secretly made a pair of dentures. During the rehearsal, he put on his false teeth and went to see the director, which surprised Xudong Ren: "How did you become like this?" Liu Qiang smiled after hearing this, took out his false teeth and put them back on. Xudong Ren was shocked, then patted Liu Jiang on the shoulder excitedly and praised him repeatedly: "Yes, that's it. Good! "
"Until now, when I am walking on the road, someone will suddenly appear in front of me, give me a thumbs up, learn from my past actions, and come up with such a' high, really high'." Speaking of which, Liu Jiang sitting on the sofa is happy from ear to ear.
After two cancers, I have looked down on life and death.
Liu Jiang loves wine. "I used to March. When I am tired, I want to drink some wine. If you drink it in one gulp, you will feel comfortable all over and burp well. Really enjoyable! " But wine brings not only enjoyment, but also disease.
From 65438 to 0995, Liu Jiang was diagnosed with tubular glandular gastric cancer and stayed in the hospital for one and a half months. "At that time, people often came to me to practice Qigong, or recommended something like' magic medicine' to me. I don't know how they know the news. " Liu Jiang couldn't help laughing at the thought. "I believe in surgery." After the operation, his heart, blood pressure and blood sugar were normal, and his fatty liver was gone.
Okay, the scar forgot to hurt. Once, Liu Jiang got together with an old friend whom he hadn't seen for several years, drinking white wine and beer. I was incontinent the next morning. I found myself with prostate cancer when I went to the hospital. Fortunately, this is another lucky experience.
Suffering from two kinds of cancer, Liu Jiang takes life and death very lightly. He said, "Only by living every day as if it were the last, can people live freely and happily".
After Liu Jiang 1988 retired, he also made several films regularly. Nowadays, he is no longer easy to film, but regards "self-cultivation" as his biggest "career" at this stage. Despite the opposition of his family, he bought an electric bicycle and rode it near his residence every day. In order to make up for the "mental loss" caused by drinking less, he also got together with his young partners and set up the "Speech Therapy Association" to exchange health experiences and health tips with each other through conversation.
"Then will you make another movie?" "Basically don't pick up, the body is not allowed. But if the book is particularly good, it is the main theme and can reflect life. I am too tired to vomit blood! " For movies, Liu Jiang, who is over 80 years old, still maintains sincerity and passion.
