After his father died, he returned to Chongqing with his mother.

Later, it was transferred to Pershing Film Company and was filmed as "Newcomer's Family".

In the Republic of China 15, Minxin Film Company founded by Li Minwei moved from Guangzhou to Shanghai, and Wancang Bu was invited to direct Yu Qing, which was his first work. The success of the film made Zhang Zhiyun, the protagonist, win the title of "Movie Queen" in one fell swoop, and he himself ended his career as a photographer. Soon, Wancang Bu was invited by Zhang Shichuan to be the director of Star Company. In more than a year, he completed six films, such as fiancee, conscience resurrection, nominal couple, dream by the lake and Beauty Pass. In order to make a good film called "Husband and Wife", we strongly urge to openly recruit the heroine, and boldly use the newcomer Ruan with a unique vision, so that she can become a talented actor in the light film industry 10 years.

After the Republic of China 17 years, Wancang Bu made several films for newcomers, Han Lun, Hui Chong and other small companies, such as Little Detective, Dwarf in-laws, Two Dwarfs Fighting for the Wind, Father and Son Heroes, and A Girl's Hate. He also co-founded Starlight Film Company with Ou Yangyuqian * * *, which was made into "One Heart Robbery" the following year.

65438+In August 2009, Lianhua Film Production Co., Ltd. was formally established and put forward the production slogan of "advocating art, publicizing culture and inspiring to save the film industry". Wancang Bu joined in and made films such as Love and Responsibility, Peach Bloodshed, Pruning Plums and Humanity. Although these films are welcomed by the audience, they tend to be Europeanized due to the early film atmosphere in China, especially Humanism, which was released on 2 1, was once criticized by left-wing film critics.

After the "December 8th Incident" in February1year of the Republic of China, the appearance of China movie heroes' fighting thighs changed greatly. With the enthusiastic help and guidance of China and left-wing filmmakers, Wancang Bu stepped onto the ranks of propagating the progressive revolutionary movement. Tian Han, in particular, has become a close friend in artistic creation since Wancang Bu helped him successfully complete his first film, Dream by the Lake, and he has a great influence on Wancang Bu. On February 22nd, China Film Culture Association was established, and Wancang Bu was elected as the executive director. During this period, great changes have taken place in his thoughts and creative characteristics. In cooperation with Tian Han, he has successively published such progressive works as Spring Dream in the Old Capital, Three Modern Women and the Light of Motherhood. Among them, Three Modern Women is considered to be one of the earliest excellent films for left-wing moviegoers, and together with Wild Stream, it is known as "a promising bud, a few powerful bombs dropped on the people." The light of motherhood was once banned in Guangzhou and other places because of its progressive tendency. In June of the same year, 5438+065438+ 10, the so-called "Shanghai Film Industry Shovel * * * Association" smashed Yihua Company and "warned" Shanghai cinemas not to show films directed, written and starring Tian Han, Shen Ruixian and Wancang Bu. "Otherwise, it will be dealt with by violent means." Wancang Bu did not quit, but insisted on making progressive films such as Golden Age, Song of Victory and New Humanity by Yihua Company to encourage people to unite in the war of resistance. In 25 years (65438+ 10), he also participated in the establishment of the Shanghai Film Salvation Society.

In 26 years of the Republic of China, the "August 13th" artillery fire burned all the areas outside the Shanghai Concession, making the Concession an "island" and the political environment even more sinister. Wancang Bu made unremitting efforts and directed The Beggar's Daughter, The Story of Losing My Heart, Love, Snow and Tears, Mulan Joining the Army, The Jade Hairpin, The Shepherd of Su Wu, Qin Liangyu, Raining at Night in Xiaoxiang, Ning Wuguan and Acacia Village by Xinhua Film Company. In particular, Mulan joined the army, and the audience praised it as "giving China a great strength through history and telling us how to struggle and win". The film was released for dozens of days, and the venue was full, causing great sensation.

At the end of 30 years of the Republic of China, the Pacific War broke out, and the Shanghai Concession was also occupied by the Japanese army, and the "island" fell. Wancang Bu joined China United Pictures and China Film Co., Ltd. successively with the company, and produced See the Light Again, Love, Fisherman's Girl and Dream of Red Mansions, and directed several stage plays in Chengdu and Chongqing.

In 37, Wancang Bu moved to Hongkong. As the general director, he spent more than one million yuan in the past two years to shoot "Soul Breaking China" for Yonghua Film Company, and then filmed "Revenge of the Great Liangshan".

Other information Wancang Bu and Tian Han, Nie Er.

China may know that Tian Han and Nie Er are songwriters of the national anthem, but this song is the pinnacle of their cooperation. The first time they wrote songs together began with the film "The Light of Motherhood" directed by Wancang Bu in 1933. 1927, after helping the little-known Tian Han release his first film "Dream by the Lake" in Wancang Bu, they successfully cooperated with three modern women. At the end of 1932, the two began to plan and co-produce the third film "The Light of Motherhood". At this time, Nie Er was an ordinary violin trainee in Yue Ming Opera Society. He lived in a small dormitory of seven or eight people and never published a song. Nie Er is from Yunnan. He studied in his hometown and participated in revolutionary music activities. Later, in order to escape the enemy's raids, he secretly left Kunming and moved to Shanghai. When he first arrived in Shencheng, he was unaccompanied, so he was asked to help him find a job as an inspector at the "Shenzhuang" procurement station. Classic old movies, classic old songs, old photos and old books are the unique features of hometown nostalgia forum! But soon, Shenzhuang's headquarters in Kunming was sealed up for tax evasion, the Shanghai branch was closed, and Nie Er lost his job. However, God never shuts one door but he opens another. At this time, he happened to see an enrollment notice of Lianhua Company's "Yue Ming Drama Club" from Shenbao, saying that once he was admitted, he would earn 10 yuan per month, and he would also get food and shelter. This was too attractive for Nie Er, who was in trouble at that time. He loved music since childhood and learned to play a variety of national musical instruments, so he signed up and wanted to take a chance. But on the day of the official exam, he was very average because of his nervousness. However, Li Jinhui, the examiner and known as "the father of China pop music", saw his potential musical quality, so he accepted him and arranged for him to study with Yue Ming's chief violinist and a foreign music teacher. This is an important turning point in Nie Er's life, because he met Wancang Bu in the Bright Moon by Lianhua Company. At that time, Wancang Bu had become a well-known figure in Shanghai entertainment circle. He and Cai Chusheng, Wang, Zhou Xuan, Ruan and others often visit the "Bright Moon". Nie Er, 19, was able to get close to these celebrities for the first time and understood what "scenery" was for the first time. At first, he just came to make a living, and quietly set a new goal in his mind. He practiced the piano more diligently, which made great progress in his piano skills in a short time. At the same time, he taught himself acoustics and composition. 1933 In the spring, Nie Er met Wancang Bu, and Wancang Bu appreciated his musical talent. At that time, Bu was planning to make a film "The Light of Motherhood" and wanted to arrange four episodes in the film, so he planned to invite the director of the music department of "Oriental EMI" company to co-write three episodes, and Nie Er and Tian Han co-write one episode. Ren Guang studied composition abroad, and everyone naturally agreed with him. However, Nie Er is only a violinist, and he has never published a song. It was too uncertain for him to compose music for this film, so he met with some opposition. But Wancang Bu finally decided to let him have a try. R soon, he handed the lyrics written by Tian Han to Nie Er, who was very excited after getting the lyrics and made up his mind to write them well. In order to avoid the interference in the dormitory, he ran to the bamboo edge of the source of Taihu Lake, rented a small attic in Chenjiayuan and began to concentrate on his creation. Nie Er returned to Shanghai after writing "Picking Songs" and gave it to Wancang Bu with trepidation. Wancang Bu was very satisfied after hearing this, and praised his works for their "sonorous rhythm and novel tone". Later, he was invited to be a reporter, guest-starred as a miner, painted his face and body black, and led the singing of Mining Song in the film, thus leaving Nie Er with his first screen image. In August, the film "The Light of Motherhood" started shooting. After the film was released, the interlude in the film was quickly sung in Shanghai, and the name "Nie Er" first attracted people's attention.
