Ge You was an actor late, only 28 years old, and did not let him fire in the first few plays.
He was born in a family of art, his father Ge Cunzhuang is an older generation of actors, and his mother Shi Wenxin is a literary editor of the North Film Factory. When the mother saw more than 30 Ge Youdu, and did not mix out the famous temple, anxious.
One day, Shi Wenxin found Yingda, who had just returned from the United States, saying that Shanghai’s director Huang Yuqin was filming a TV series to see if he could bring the words and let Ge You play a role.
When Huang Qiqin heard about it, he told Yingda that you took me a photo of Ge You. I don’t know what he looks like.
Geyou had hair at the time, but people still grew a little bit worse. In the end, Huang Yuqin promised to let Ge You play, just missing a negative role.
Geyou at the time of youth
Geyou’s mother wants to let her son play this movie for the simple reason that the original work of this TV series is the most classic in modern China.One of the novels, “The Besieged City,” and the person who wrote him is also a big talented child, Zhong Zhongshu.
But such a classic novel is not easy to adapt. Teacher Bai Yansong has a good saying:
Back against the big tree, don’t think that you are a big tree.

One day in 1984, Huang Yuqin, who was making a movie “Friends of Childhood” in Northern Shaanxi, received a call.
Huang Yuqin is the hottest fourth-generation director. Before that, she shot the 80s idol film Long Live Youth. In 1986, she shocked the film with China’s first feminist film, Ghost Story.
Calling her is the scriptwriter Sun Xiongfei of the film studio. Sun Xiongfei told her that we would like to make the novel “The Besieged City” into a TV series together?
Huang Yuqin has a face, she has never seen this novel, she asked Sun Xiongfei:
This book… is it about snoring?
Sun Xiongfei is speechless. You should go to the book first and look at it. Let’s talk again.
The day the film crew did not play well because of the bad weather. Putting down the phone, Huang Qiqin immediately called a car and rushed to Yan’an, the largest county town nearby. He bought two thin green “Besie” in Xinhua Bookstore. Going back to the room, after reading this novel on the pipa, she only knows: Oh, it turns out that this book has nothing to do with snoring!
This does not blame Huang Qiqin for reading less. Before the liberation, “The Besieged City” was not a story-telling novel. It was mainly sarcasm with sarcasm and portrayed a group of intellectuals.
After the founding of New China, this smallNo one knows for 30 years. In 1980, it was at the time when the revolutionary literature ebbs, scholars and literature warmed up, and with the great recommendation of overseas scholar Xia Zhiqing, this novel was published by the People’s Literature Publishing House.
The narrative of Besieged City can be described in one sentence:
Puncture all illusions and feelings.
This is also the writing style of Qian Zhongshu’s young age. Later Han Han was also deeply influenced by this novel. He once said that after reading “The Besieged City”, he discovered that the novel can still be written like this. Han Han’s “Three Doors” is a mimicry of Qian Zhongshu’s narration.
Placing literary works on the screen is a thrilling and exciting thing. In the 1980s, remake of literary classics became a craze. Among the four famous works, the 86 editions of “Journey to the West” and the 87 edition of “Dream of Red Mansions” do not know how many times they have been broadcasted. Until today, they are still TV dramas that children must watch during the winter and summer vacations.
Huang Yuqin certainly knows the benefits of adapting literary works, at least not yet. Although she has not seen “The Besieged City” before, the advantage of her person is to know the goods. After Huang Xiaoqin read the novel, he immediately decided to shoot this TV series with Sun Xiongfei.
But the problem is coming, the novel is made into a TV series, and the original author has not promised yet.
The filming of “The Besieged City” must be approved by Qian Zhongshu. Qian Zhongshu’s life has always been low-key and he is unwilling to accept any interviews, let alone with the film and television circle.
In fact, many people have long been eyeing this novel. They contact Qian Zhongshu in various ways, and they are worthy of great talents. Qian Zhongshu’s return is particularly literary: it is not appropriate to make a screen.
Qian Zhongshu, Yang Lan couple
When Huang Qiqin saw that this was not easy, he had to find a relationship to clear it. She found the famous Chinese film theorist and playwright Ke Ling and asked him to write a referral letter.
Ke Ling is a literary figure in Shanghai. He was the one who brought Zhang Ailing. During his editorial of Vientiane in 1943, many of Zhang Ailing’s novels were published in the magazine. He is also a friend of Qian Zhongshu. The re-publishing of “The Besieged City” in 1980 also has his “persuasion” credit.
With such a big coffee referee, Huang Yuqin and Sun Xiongfei easily knocked on the door of Qian Zhongshu. After meeting, I found out that the relationship was closer. Huang Qiqin knew that her father Huang Zuolin was the benefactor of Qian Zhongshu and saved him and Yang Lan’s life.
This way, things will be easier. There is an old saying that is good:
Helping others helps others.

Huang Yuqin’s father’s helping others is a matter of joy, and he has to start from the war-torn period of the war.
In 1941, the Pearl Harbor Incident broke out and Shanghai fell. At that time, the couple of Qian Zhongshu had just returned from the UK and had a black eye in Shanghai.
Qian Zhongshu and Yang Wei at the time of youth
Which Qian Zhongshu created two works in the “Let’s Record” and “Writing on the Edge of Life” in that year, but the days have been very difficult. He did not have a formal job and had to teach his father-in-law at the Aurora Women’s College of Arts and Sciences to earn some living expenses.
