After the four seasons, the domestic love movie Tanabata arrived, magpies bridged the bridge, and the cowherd and the weaver girl were all happy. This folk fairy tale has now become a love classic. On this romantic Valentine's Day night, lovers always have their own unique ways to celebrate. It may be a good choice to watch some wonderful love movies together. When people are immersed in the lingering love, I wonder if they know that love movies have experienced ups and downs in China's century-old film history. 1922 The Love of Workers is the first love movie in China. This film with the theme of expressing young men and women's free love is concise and humorous. Zheng, a carpenter who turned to selling fruit, fell in love with Zhu Langzhong's daughter, but his future father-in-law promised to propose marriage on the condition of "making Zhu's clinic prosperous". In desperation, carpenter Zheng changed the stairs of the clubhouse upstairs into movable stairs controlled by him. Many people fell upstairs and downstairs, and gamblers came to see the doctor in an endless stream. Therefore, his clinic business is booming. Carpenter Zheng He and Miss Zhu got married. Carpenter Zheng is witty and resourceful. I wish Miss A Zheng a romantic and affectionate life. I didn't expect the love story in the 1920s to be so romantic. As the first generation director in China, Zhang Shichuan didn't use too many skills or techniques when shooting this film, and it was a silent film of just 22 minutes. The director's original intention is only "to entertain the public, without ism." As everyone knows, it is this commercial film that aims to please the public, which has since opened the prelude to China's film romance, and made love approach people's lives through movies. Street Angels, produced by Shanghai Star Film Company, is a masterpiece of love movies in 1930s, among which the film interlude "Four Seasons Songs" and "Genv" has been passed down to this day. In the film, the hero and heroine are a pair of little people living at the bottom of society. Chen Xiao plays the trumpet for a living, while Xiaohong goes to teahouses and bars to sing. The hard life did not erase the flame of love in their hearts. As soon as Xiaohong came home, she signed a date for Xiao Chen with the light reflected from the mirror, and Xiao Chen played some magic jokes on her from time to time. The two men conveyed their feelings through the window with songs and piano sounds. However, the good times didn't last long, and the singer Xiaohong was taken away by hooligans while singing in the teahouse. Facing the pressure of evil forces, Xiao Chen, who vowed to defend her love, did not flinch. With the help of many brothers, Xiaohong was successfully rescued from the magic cave. Chen Xiao and Xiao Hong were played by Zhao Dan and Zhou Xuan, who were very famous at that time. They are young and smart movie stars, and their ups and downs of love stories make Street Angels popular all over the country overnight. At this time, the love movies have not only simply entertained the public, but also comprehensively reflected the hard life of ordinary people at that time, and the beautiful love has become heavy in troubled times. If love movies before liberation are always inseparable from sadness and suffering, then love movies after liberation are more about breaking through imprisonment and bondage. Five Golden Flowers is a masterpiece of love movies of that era. It has been shown in 35 countries and won awards at international film festivals. Although this is a well-known love movie, it celebrates the beautiful life and new social relations of people in the new era. Although the love story of A Peng and Yunnan Bai youth Jinhua is the main line, their love story in the film is pitiful. In that political era, love was cornered. Even so, this film was branded as a "reactionary film" in 1960s because it preached "love is supreme", and Yang Likun, the heroine, was finally insane and depressed because of cruel persecution. The bad political environment makes love an extremely sensitive topic. Filmmakers turn pale when they talk about "love", and no one dares to cross the line for many years. From 65438 to the early 1980s, a natural scenery film showing the sincere love of young men and women broke this artificial cage and brought love movies into people's field of vision again. Known as the "Youth Idol Movie of the 1980s"-The Romance of Lushan Mountain. This film has been popular all over the country since its release, and Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin became the best lovers at that time. Zhang Yu, the heroine, rose rapidly and won the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award's "Double Shadow" with unparalleled advantages. So far, no one has broken the record of the number of votes. The Romance of Lushan Mountain tells the story of a Kuomintang general's daughter meeting, knowing each other and falling in love with a mainland man. The film starts with Lushan Mountain, a beautiful natural landscape, and adopts the narrative technique of creating feelings by scenery and writing feelings by scenery. While enjoying the beautiful and charming natural landscape, the audience was deeply impressed by the tortuous and romantic love stories of the hero and heroine. The director used focal plane depth to describe the psychological activities of characters quite skillfully. The most shocking part of this movie is the "passionate play" of the hero and heroine-kissing. Although only the heroine gently kissed the actor's cheek, such a scene was groundbreaking at that time and was later recognized as the "first kiss" of the new China film. It is said that after the filming, Zhang Yu felt sorry for kissing Guo Kaimin and specially invited him to eat a meal as spiritual compensation. Such a thing is almost unimaginable for young people now, and the closed concept of love at that time can be seen. Since then, the number of love movies in China has gradually increased, and the shooting techniques have become increasingly diversified. What impressed me the most was "Red Sorghum" filmed by Zhang Yimou in 1987. Rich colors and dignified composition make people experience a strong visual impact. I was dumbfounded by the hero's wild and rude emotional expression. It turns out that love still has such a deductive way. When "my grandfather" carried "my grandmother" to the sorghum field, the ensuing wheat waves reflected the innate wildness and irresistible lust in life. The brilliant performances of Gong Li and Jiang Wen directly pushed China's love movies to a brand-new field. Since then, love movies, like runaway wild horses, have become more free. Nowadays, the beautiful word "love" can appear at will, and movies are almost "no drama without love", thus China's love movies have entered a new era of prosperity.
