Chapter 15 Part 1: The deep regret that the dangerous "No. 1 Guangzhou case" cannot make up for

Cai Chusheng didn't feel too excited about winning the award, because as early as 1935, "Yuguang Song" written and directed by him became famous in the international film circle, with honors and applause, flowers and applause. The release of "Jiang Chunshui Flows Eastward" fully demonstrated Cai Chusheng's talent and brought his director level to a new peak.But it's really unbelievable that this time it seems to be a secret awarding secret that should have been announced but is difficult to disclose.Cai Chusheng finds it difficult to understand, and he is also puzzled. As an ordinary director, as an ordinary film, Cai Chusheng is extremely unwilling to entangle it with the brutal political line struggle.However, personal good intentions are just one-sided wishful thinking and are by no means dependent on personal will.As the main leader of the film bureau and the person in charge of the film work, he talks about party spirit and principles, which makes Cai Chusheng deeply understand that a small individual cannot resist the powerful forces of the outside world.Cai Chusheng was only cautious, very principled, and very measured when explaining other work matters in correspondence with Wang Weiyi, and wrote the sentence ""South China Sea Tide" has the most votes" by the way.When Wang Weiyi, who didn't know the inside story, got this news, he was naturally happy in his heart, more confident, and more confident and determined to cooperate with Cai Chusheng again to make the next episode as soon as possible.Not long after, Cai Chusheng wrote again, saying: The "Hundred Flowers Award" awards ceremony will not be held.This invisibly added another cloud of suspicion to Wang Weiyi's heart.

In June of that year, the "Hundred Flowers Award", which was supposed to be awarded on time, naturally could not be held as scheduled.The audience and enthusiastic readers waited anxiously for more than two months, and the judging committee received hundreds of inquiry letters from all over the country every day.At this time, the literary and artistic rectification movement in the cultural and art circles has entered a feverish stage, and the continued distribution of awards has become a mirage that is out of reach.The China Film Association was in a dilemma without being notified by the higher authorities.At the end of 1964, after a lapse of one year, against his will, he borrowed the "Left" views in society and falsely accused himself that all the winning films of the "Popular Film" and "Hundred Flowers Awards" "did not well reflect the ideas advocated by the Communist Party of China." The literature and art reflect the spirit of socialist revolution and construction, which do not conform to the current revolutionary situation, and have been submitted to the higher authorities for approval to revoke the award." So far, the third award has been actively participated by nearly 900,000 people through the cooperation of many authoritative departments and mass organizations. The selection of the "Hundred Flowers Award" of "Popular Film" finally came to an end under the pressure of the strong political situation. After July 1966, "Popular Cinema", which created the "Hundred Flowers Award" for the first time, was forced to suspend its publication, and it was not resumed until 1979.

After the "Cultural Revolution" movement broke out across the country in 1966, Cai Chusheng, as a "black line figure" to be criticized in the 1930s and 1940s, naturally bore the brunt of the brutal persecution. He passed away on July 15, 1968. , aged 62.However, behind him, in addition to winning the honorary award at the Moscow International Film Exhibition of the Soviet Union as early as 1935 with "Yu Guang Song", which became the first award for a Chinese film in the international film world, Since its release in 1947, it has lasted for a long time. "A River of Spring Water Flows Eastward", which has been rated as a classic name card of world cinema, and "Hundred Flowers Award" of the third domestic "Popular Film" in 1963 won four major awards. "South Sea Tide".In addition, Shang also has his personal representative works "Spring in the South", "Pink Dream", "Wang Lao Wu"... These are the priceless works left by this world-class art master to future generations Riches and immeasurable treasures.However, "The Tide of the South China Sea" created by Cai Chusheng painstakingly, only left the first part of the whole film, which has become a deep regret that will never be made up for forever!
