Four leading actors also made this film, which was a smash hit in the 1980s. Now 39 years have passed, and the fate of these four leading actors has also changed greatly. ...
Shepherd is based on the novel Soul and Meat by the famous writer Zhang Xianliang. This paper mainly tells the story of Xu who suffered unfair treatment in a special era and came to work in the northwest pasture. The vast nature purified his thoughts, and the kind herders warmed his heart.
In the pastoral area, Xu married a rural girl who fled Sichuan and gave birth to a son.
1980, Xu's father and overseas Chinese entrepreneur Xu Jingyao returned to China and found his long-lost son Xu. He asked to take his son to the United States to inherit the property, but Xu refused. He went back to his relatives and friends who were in trouble and to his wife who took care of each other.
When Xie Jin received the shooting task arranged by the factory, he wanted to ask Zhang Xianliang to personally adapt the script. But Zhang Xianliang felt that what he wanted to express could not be expressed in movie language, so he declined.
Therefore, Xie Jin planned to ask the famous writer Li Shu to adapt the script, but Li Shu didn't agree because of his work. Finally, Xie Jin's "Three Visits to the Cottage" persuaded Li Shu.
The adaptation of this film was very successful. Patriotism is the real connotation of the works, which contains the beauty of human feelings and humanity.
However, the script was criticized by some people when it was reviewed by relevant departments. Xu Sangchu, director of Shanghai Film Studio, withstood great pressure and personally wrote a letter to the then mayor of Shanghai, listing various reasons for filming Shepherd. Moreover, the studio organized the screenwriter to change the script so that "Herdsmen" could be filmed.
Because the living environment of Zhu Shimao and Cong Shan is very different from that of the protagonist, the crew sent them to the northwest pastoral area to experience their life for a month before shooting. They eat, live and herd sheep with herders, and learn to ride horses and cook milk tea in yurts. A month later, traces of urban life in Zhu Shimao and Cong Shan were basically erased.
Zhu Shimao is older than Cong Shan 10 years old. They didn't know each other before, so it was awkward to play lovers in the play. Xie Jin gave them homework and asked them to arrange 10 sketches within 20 days to show the whole process of Xu He from strangers to falling in love and getting married.
Therefore, Zhu Shimao and Cong Shan have maintained a high degree of tacit understanding both psychologically and emotionally.
The Shepherd is also skillful in artistic structure: concise and distinct. Xu's image is authentic. Through a series of visible contrast techniques, Xu's deep feelings for the motherland and the countryside are highlighted. It is a classic work with tears in laughter.
The film was first filmed in Gansu, and later moved to Beijing. The plays of the two places are skillfully combined, smooth and natural, without a trace of patchwork.
Shepherd won the Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Editing Award in the 3rd China Film Golden Rooster Award, the Best Feature Film and Best Supporting Actor Award in the 6th Hundred Flowers Award, and the Excellent Film Award in the Ministry of Culture.
