Chapter 53 Part 4: Cinematic Regrets: A Glimpse at Unfinished Films of Famous Actors and Unfinished Remakes

Jiang Qing is complacent about his outstanding achievements in the field of "remakes" that have expanded from "eight model operas" and "six capitals and two dances" to feature films, especially seven "key projects". She will spare no effort to expand and extend this "accumulated achievements" overseas, and put forward specific suggestions, hoping that the film crew will regroup and make persistent efforts. Combination of shot reshoots and editing. As a result, the disbanded film crew was recruited together again, but what was never expected was that an unexpected accident followed.One day, the film crew was going to the suburbs of Changchun to shoot exterior scenes. At that time, Li Tiejun, cameraman Gu Xiaoyan, actor Ren Weimin and others got on a "Korbaqian" truck made in Romania that pulled props. Li Tiejun waited until everyone got on the truck, Sit at the back of the car.Unexpectedly, the driver was used to driving this "classic car" that used to pull bricks. As soon as he drove out of the gate, when the driver turned the steering wheel, due to too much force, the big truck hit the "hibiscus tree" beside the street Then, the car body scraped heavily on a thick branch, and under its inertia, the branch bounced back and hit Gu Xiaoyan and Ren Weimin who were sitting in front of the truck. Gu Xiaoyan was the most injured. He was rushed to the hospital immediately, where he was diagnosed with a concussion and urgently needed hospital treatment.Li Tiejun, who was at the rear of the car, avoided the flying disaster and was unscathed, which is really lucky.

When the photographer was injured and hospitalized, and the re-shooting lens was about to be seriously affected by this, the factory leader quickly ordered to call Wang Qimin, who was being transferred to labor reform in the countryside overnight. , as early as the "Man Ying" period ruled by the Japanese invaders, he began to engage in film photography. After liberation, many well-known major dramas of Changying Film Studio, such as "Jiawu Fengyun" and "Soldiers Coming to the City", were shot by Wang Qimin.After reporting for duty in trepidation, he first took three close-up shots of Li Xiangyang leaping and taking off at the beginning of the scene.Later, based on his many years of practical experience in business work, Wang Qimin thought that the scenes that did not meet the requirements under the condition that the same plot had not been changed. The footage of the film was subtly connected with the already completed and released version. When it was released again, many audiences did not see it. It is a wonderful workmanship.In this way, it took more than half a year to make up the play, which was more than double the normal shooting time.

In 1974, in order to focus on the surprise remake of "Plain Guerrilla", Changying Studio released only two new films that year, and the other was a low-cost children's feature film "The Story of Xiangyangyuan".This is really a coincidence, the name of the hero in "Plain Guerrilla" and the title of another unrelated children's film have the most prominent word "Xiangyang" , is a highlight of the two films cast this year. In 1976, Changying Film Factory filmed the feature film "Eagle in the Sky", which reflected the volunteer air force commanders and fighters fighting against the enemy during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, starring Li Tiejun.Originally, Lin Nong, who was the director of "The Golden Avenue", wanted to borrow Li Tiejun to play the leading actor Gao Daquan from his friend Wu Zhaodi. Daquan's younger brother Gao Erlin.As a result, "Kung fu pays off", a miracle happened. Finally, in Wuhan Drama Theater, I found a young actor Miao Zhuang who looked very similar to Li Tiejun, except that his skin was slightly darker than Li Tiejun's, and his eyebrows and eyes were scattered. A smile fits perfectly with him, as if it was poured out of the same mold. Director Lin Nong happily described it with great interest, and immediately asked the two to wear tops, and asked the photographer to take a shot to see the effect in the lens. The elder brother played by Li Tiejun looks younger than the younger brother played by Miao Zhuang, but in fact Li Tiejun is several years older than Miao Zhuang.However, at the same time, Li Tiejun was scooped up by Wang Yabiao and Wang Feng, who were one step ahead, to the crew of "The Eagle in the Sky" and asked him to act immediately.Besides, Li Tiejun himself is more interested in starring as a fighting hero, so Lin Nong can only rejoice with hopelessness.Miao Zhuang is still playing the second male lead in "Avenue of Golden Light", and the leading actor who was supposed to star Li Tiejun was selected to be replaced by Zhang Guomin, a young actor from the Warrior Drama Troupe of the Guangzhou Military Region.Although Li Tiejun and Miao Zhuang were filming two scenes with completely different content in two crews, because they do look very similar, when they inevitably appear in the factory at the same time, they often make some crew members and The staff can't tell the difference, and in awe, they create a big non-existent joke about the "twins" to add to the off-screen jokes.

Li Tiejun then participated in the anti-special film "The Reef" and successively played important roles in many films such as "The Third Goddess", "The Flying Crane", "It's a Beautiful Night", "The Principal culprit is by your side" and so on. , also starred in the TV series "Conquering Taiyuan" as an executive director. In 1998, Li Tiejun and his colleague and friend—Liang Tongyu, a handsome young man in the Chinese film industry in the 1980s, came to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone where they met each other so late, and jointly established "Qiaoxing Film and Television Production Company".When entering middle age, to open up a "second spring" of film and television career that is completely different from performing in front of the camera.He has been out of acting for many years, and occasionally he becomes addicted to dramas. In the TV series "Fatal Game" and "True and False Brother Kiln Bottle" filmed by his company, he played some light roles in friendship. Of course, only careful The audience will be amazed to find him.
