A behind-the-scenes tidbit of a small ambition

Unfortunately, there is no record of this in Tongxiang county annals. Fortunately, in 2009, Huang recorded the creation and shooting process of "People are Small and Great", leaving precious historical materials for Tongxiang. The reporter found on the Internet that "Little People Will Be Big People" is the first work of Zhejiang people in the film history, and it is recorded in "Zhejiang Film History". It was not only collected by folk collectors, but also exhibited as a classic when the National Film Museum of China opened.

He Jianhua told reporters that Zhejiang Film Studio had just been established when filming "A Little Man with Ambition", from directing, photography, makeup, props, lighting to the audience sitting and making, "it was the first time to drive a duck to the shelves". A few days after shooting, the film crew encountered a problem-the lens could not be connected to the lens. Therefore, the film crew urgently sought help from the then Shanghai Tianma Film Studio through the relevant provincial departments. Shanghai Tianma Film Studio immediately dispatched a small team, including director Wu Xiangzhi, assistant director, photographer Chen Lin, artist Xu Keji, lighting Xu, props Tao and other full-time staff. In this way, the two film crews merged into one and started quickly ... The film was completed on March 15 of the following year, which lasted more than four months. After being examined and approved by the relevant departments of the state and the province, it will be distributed and screened nationwide by China Film Distribution and Projection Company. However, during the Cultural Revolution, "Little People Will Be Great" was criticized as "a big poisonous weed on the black line of literature and art", and the two screenwriters also suffered greatly. "Huang Jie sent a big blackboard on his chest and was escorted to Wu Tong, Chongfu and Zhouquan for criticism." Huang's wife, Zhang Ruzhen, talked about the unbearable years, and her eyes were moist. At that time, shimen middle school teacher Huang Zaiming was also implicated and labeled as a "black cadre of bourgeois literature and art" ... After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the Party and the people gave this book a correct evaluation and conclusion. This is recorded in the series of Zhejiang Records-Zhejiang Film Records published by 1996.
