outline

1964 Played the young fisherman in Madam, and won the Golden Warrior Award for the most potential movie star of the American International Independent Filmmakers Association for his outstanding acting skills. Since the movie, the screen image that Ou Wei has brought to the audience is all under the banner of hard-core students, and his introverted expression and performance rhythm are greatly influenced by idol James Dean. Because Ou Wei is not a professional, in order to cultivate his acting skills, he usually increases his strength by repeatedly watching movies and studying scripts. In the process of shooting in the studio, his serious attitude is often affirmed by his peers, and he tries to think clearly about every role he plays. His outstanding performance has won him many awards. 1965 won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Asian Film Festival for "Duck Family". Later, he won two Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor for Hijacking the Country (1967) and Autumn Decision (1972) respectively.

After winning the prize, Ouwei's physical condition was in crisis, but in 1973, he managed to complete the film "Datong Ji Ling" written, directed and acted by himself, and died of kidney disease in the same year 12+0. In the past eighteen years, * * * has made more than eighty films. In addition to the above works, his masterpieces include Hu Jianming the Ranger, Emotion, Sorrow, Jianghu Daughter, Home in Taipei and other films.

Adolescent idolization

As a teenager, Ou Wei began to pursue his dreams.

The children under the theater

When I was a child, Ovi said innocently, "I want to be an emperor when I grow up!" 」

Mom smiled and replied, "Impossible! Then you have to act! 」

Lonely childhood Ouwei's real name was Huang, and her father died when she was three years old. On the one hand, her mother, Ms. Huang Yangbei, has to take care of her sick mother-in-law, on the other hand, she has to support her children independently and support her family with the help of a tailor.

Ou Wei studies at Xinhua Primary School. When I was a child, my academic performance and leadership ability were excellent. My classmates and friends recalled that Ou Wei was often the monitor and liked to play "King Cat" with his classmates.

When you were just a teenager.

Ou Wei is our senior. In middle school, Ou Wei made bad friends by mistake, which caused his grades to plummet and he almost didn't graduate, so he also transferred to another school. Under his mother's earnest persuasion, he was finally pulled back from the wrong path, which really made Huang's mother nervous for quite a while!

The first experience of drama

When Ou Wei was a child, his mother often took him to Xinhua Wang Gong Hall, which is now the square in front of Juan Palace. At that time, Ou Wei was a small man. His mother helped him to stand on the bench and watch. He is also strict and careful in choosing plays, so he won't watch them if the plot is not good. Most of the content of the play is based on the relevant educational themes of the Festival of Loyalty and Filial Piety.

When I was a child, Ovi said innocently, "I want to be an emperor when I grow up!" " My mother smiled and replied, "Impossible! Then you have to act! 」

In fact, my mother has always hoped that Ou Wei can engage in public office in the future and settle down for life. Unexpectedly, the young Aki really decided to become an actor later!

Walk into the cinema

Theater, the beginning of Orwell's dream, the classroom of self-growth.

He found his purpose in life here. ......

Ou Wei, who left society at the age of seventeen or eighteen, experienced a painful first love and an unstable job.

/kloc-entered Xinhua police station at the age of 0/9, which was Xinhua county prison during the Japanese occupation. Because the social environment at that time gave the police privileges, Ou Wei could take a free bus to Tainan City to watch free movies every night.

When the movies in Taiwan Province Province flourished, there were actually three cinemas in Xinhua: Xinhua, Guangxin and Tianxin. However, the theater films in rural areas are relatively old, and there are more foreign films in Tainan.

Worship Meng

When I was a teenager, I was addicted to the theater in Tainan (now the whole country), which was the secret base for Ou Wei to brew his dreams and dormant.

Ou Wei likes watching foreign movies. Marlon Brando, gary cooper and Clark Douglas are all textbooks he has studied repeatedly. Every time I come back from the cinema, Ou Wei can't wait to run to the mirror and ponder over the various postures and charms of the protagonist in the play until she is exhausted.

Pass on hope

Nineteen-year-old Ou Wei found a career in life. As long as a film company recruits actors, he must apply immediately. He bravely and resolutely wrote a letter of recommendation with a photo of Sharon, and passed on his expectations and hopes again and again in the post office.

Mother Huang had expected her only son to finish his studies step by step, find a regular job and live in a down-to-earth manner. It never occurred to her that he would be fascinated by this. She talks about it every day, hoping that Ou Wei will change her mind. Ou Wei has been silent and scolded by her, and has been writing letters in her room.

Every time mother Huang knows that Ou Wei is out posting a letter, she tries her best to intercept it from the back door.

Art fanaticism

"I think the journey of life is dull without art, and it needs to be embellished with art to make the paralyzed life full of vitality. I chose the art of film. 」

~ director ou he

Out of his passion for filming, Ou Wei introduced himself to Huaxing Studio from the first letter. From April 1956 to February 1957, he wrote hundreds of letters to express his love for movies.

I really can't wait any longer. I'll personally go to Taichung to get a performance opportunity from Director He. He even quit his job at the police station, but he wrote to say that he had asked for leave, just to show the studio that he had no worries. ......

In the letter, Ou Wei unreservedly described his passion for film and described his expertise and views on film art.

There was no specific reply. The letter was written one by one, and the content was almost identical, saying that nothing could interest him except the art of film and drama.

After a whole year's delivery, he finally got the opportunity to perform-playing the enthusiastic mountain youth "Ou Wei" in "Green Mountains, Green Water and Hot Blood", which became his stage name all his life, and his dream finally came true.

Ove Times and a Brief History of Taiwan Province Films

Ou Wei has been in the film industry for 16 years, and also witnessed the development of film art in Taiwan Province province. ......

Ou Wei's Huaxing era

From 65438 to 0956, Director He filmed Harmony, which opened the curtain for Taiwan Province's films. Until 1980, thousands of Taiwan Province films were made in our country, and many directors who have far-reaching influence on Taiwan Province Province, such as Li Hsing, have made Taiwan Province films. Unfortunately, by 2 1 century, there were only 23 1 movies in Taiwan Province.

After the success of the first Taiwan Province film, Director He set up Huaxing Studio to direct Green Mountains and Green Waters, and the actor Ou Wei was born. During this period, Li Quanxi, the director who made the most films in Taiwan Province, was also the director who wrote and filmed Ovi.

Little people and big stories

In the early 1960s, the three major film industries in Taiwan Province Province were Central Film Company, China Film Studio and Taiwan Province Film Studio, all of which were listed companies.

At that time, the Central Film Company, in order to distinguish it from Hong Kong Huangmei tune and urban literature and romantic films, turned to promote a healthy and realistic route, describe the stories of local people and describe the ordinary life of the bottom people. His "Lady" won the best film at the 1 1 Asia-Pacific Film Festival, which opened a new era for the film industry in Taiwan Province Province, and Ouwei also won the Golden Warrior Award for the most promising film star of American independent producers. The Central Film Company then released Li Hsing's Duck Family. Its fresh film style and healthy realistic content injected new strength into China films at that time and set off a new trend. Ou Wei also won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Asian Film Festival for this film.

China Film Studio's "Robbery of Hometown" also won Ou Wei the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

This is the golden age of modern Taiwan Province films and Orwell films.

Tough guy forever.

In the 1970s, with the social transformation from agriculture to industrial age in Taiwan Province Province, movies became the main way of entertainment for people, which led to the development of patriotic, love, martial arts, kung fu, comedy and other types of movies to respond to social needs. During this period, Ou Wei also made various films, and the classic masterpiece Autumn Decision appeared at this time. Unfortunately, he died soon after his acting became more and more exquisite, leaving the image of "forever tough guy" on the screen.

"Ten years, I want to do ten years! If I haven't made any achievements in movies, then I'll decide to go back to my hometown to farm! No more movies! 」

~ European flavor

A tortuous film career

From 1956, Ouwei began to write to the film company to recommend himself. A year later, he finally got the aboriginal character "Ou Wei" who resisted the Japanese police in "Green Mountains and Green Waters". This is the first film in his life and the first role he played, so he deliberately obtained the consent of director He and took "Ouwei" as his permanent stage name. At first, he honed his acting skills in the production of Huaxing. At that time, he acted in Taiwan Province movies. 1958, Ouwei received a list of soldiers who had to join the army. Will the foundation he worked so hard to build be zero in the years when he left the film industry to become a soldier? The last Taiwan Province film he made before he left was When Will It Come Out. The title really reflected his mood at that time.

During this period, Ou Wei made about seven Taiwan Province films. Unfortunately, after his retirement, Taiwan Province films have lost their brilliance. The Taiwan Province film companies that trained him in those years all closed down. At this point, Ou Wei contacted the director Pan Lei. From the performance of The Mystery of Jinshan, he recognized Ou Wei as a talented person, so he constantly encouraged him to continue filming during his service. After serving, director Pan Lei invited Ou Wei to star in Typhoon, which he directed for China Film Company, and thus Ou Wei entered the Mandarin film circle. Later, Ou Wei also signed a contract renewal with director Pan Lei for several years, inviting Ou Wei to film in Hong Kong. However, because Ou Wei didn't want to, or because the popular literary love movies didn't follow Ou Wei's path, they didn't renew their contracts after the third year.

After he didn't renew his contract, he participated in the first film "Madam" filmed by director Li Xing in China Film Company under the recommendation of director Li Jia. Because of his excellent acting skills, China Film Company signed a one-year renewal contract with him. This film also won Ou Wei the Golden Warrior Award for the Most Potential Movie Star awarded by the American Independent Producers Association at the Asian Film Festival, thus forging the fate between Ou Wei and director Li Hsing. The formal cooperation between Ou Wei and director Li Hsing began with the masterpiece of the healthy and realistic Chinese film Duck Family, and they established deep mutual trust in the cooperation. This film won the international recognition of "Best Supporting Actor Award in Asian Film Festival" for Ou Wei. Autumn Decision is an important film in the film history of Taiwan Province Province. Director Li Hsing has conceived this film for many years. China's traditional culture, ethics, outlook on life and film aesthetics are discussed in the play. Li Xing regards it as a key work. Ou Wei understands and is willing to wait for a long time, waiting for the opportunity to carry out this work. Finally, Ou Wei and others have arrived! After the release of Autumn Decision, it was fully affirmed and echoed, including the Golden Horse Award for best film, best director, best leading actor and best supporting actress. Ou Wei said: "It is really difficult for an actor to make movies that satisfy both himself and the audience, but I am really glad to be able to play a movie like Autumn Decision in my life. 」

In the play

We made him a pair of aluminum in the autumn festival. As a result, he didn't need it. He spent money to find a pipe to make a real chain ... he wanted to really help his performance because of the weight of the chain itself. ......

~ Director Li Hsing

Ou Wei's devotion to the performance is impressive.

Director He recalled that when Ou Wei performed for the first time, he asked to jump off a cliff four or five meters away and roll down the hillside with the Japanese police to take a shot of fighting with the Japanese police. The atmosphere is vivid. The director shouted "Stop", but he couldn't stop, only to find that the two really got into a fight, because the man who played the Japanese policeman had been knocked unconscious by Ou Wei, who was too involved in the play, and Ou Wei's own arm was scratched a lot. ......

Director He suddenly realized that Ou Wei's performance was just like the meaning represented by the theme of the movie "Wushe Incident"-the thin body became strong under the momentum of justice, which was the anti-Japanese of the mountain people, and the spirit shown by Ou Wei, who just debuted at that time, was very unforgettable.

In the filming of Autumn Decision, because Ou Wei played a condemned man, he had to wear shackles and shackles when he went to prison. At this time, Ou Wei had some physical problems. The considerate crew prepared a pair of fake aluminum props and shackles for Ou Wei, which were stained with bronze rust. They look very similar, but they are much lighter to wear, and his feet are unlikely to be hurt. But in order to be realistic, Ouwei actually threw away the shackles of the crew and himself. In the process of shooting, Ou Wei's ankle had already worn out, but he didn't care and insisted on performing in this way. As you can imagine, as an actor, he has high demands on himself.

Immediately put hot metal into cold water.

"Don't worry, a type like you, the more time you hone and experience life, the better you will perform! 」

~ Director Pan Lei

Self-training

Before her debut, Ouwei increased her strength by watching movies and studying repeatedly. He often takes the cowboy or james deen in the west as the study object, winks in front of the mirror and the expression on the screen. At first, Ou Wei worked in Huaxing to hone his acting skills, but he left on 1958 because he joined the army. He still often picks up scripts and starts his own role-playing training, even if it is not his own script.

The experience of the film factory

Early Taiwan Province films were privately operated. With limited resources, everyone in the studio must be responsible for several kinds of work, including lighting, field affairs, walk-on, and sometimes even writing scripts for cross talk. So he received a complete film engineering training in Taiwan Province's film period.

An effort to become an actor

There are not many roles of Ou Wei in Castle Peak and Hot Blood, but his performance surprised the director, so when the mystery of Jinshan started shooting, Ou Wei was promoted to the second leading role. Maybe he has a lot of responsibility. He always reads the script before others, tries to figure out the role and asks for advice on inner play.

Director Li Quanxi also recalled that Ou Wei paid great attention to the cowboy's marksmanship, walking posture and expression in the west, including his frustrated appearance: to what extent his shoulders softened, he would ponder the personalities of different characters in each play and express them in different ways. When making a movie, he will make some suggestions based on the movies he has seen, such as the way this passage is suitable for that foreign movie, and so on. Director Li even gave him the name "Movie Dictionary". ......

Actor's will

Ou Wei is not an academic. He must "learn by doing", but compared with other actors, he is dedicated, devoted and demanding of himself. Generally, actors shoot one, and the director says yes, but Ou Wei will watch porn with the director, hoping to correct it by watching his performance objectively, and often take the initiative to ask the director for another chance. He has expectations for himself and is very ambitious to play a good play.

Because of this, Ou Wei is willing to wait for the drama Autumn Decision for a long time. In order to get the role, he declined the invitation from other studios. Before shooting, he was psychologically prepared to participate in the play, in order to show his determination to "belong to him". Ou Wei didn't have any economic foundation before, and he was heavily in debt for more than a year without receiving the drama contract ... He sincerely said when accepting the Golden Horse Award: "It took me many years to get this role, and the road to the ideal is really far. 」

Eager to shoot

Autumn Decision is the pinnacle of Ou Wei's career as an actress. After Autumn Decision, Ou Wei began to find no satisfactory role to take, so he turned to directing. Ou Wei's passion for movies is all-round. As early as on the stage of Huaxing Studio, he had the experience of writing movie stories, and Taiwan Province films such as The Savior of the Dog and Hu Jianming the Hero were all his scenes. His experience in the studio also familiarized him with the whole film industry. He is passionate about editing, directing and performing, and he is confident. He took the initiative but was unwilling to ask for help, and he had his own ideas and demands everywhere. This obsession with personality makes the project of "Chasing" difficult. When others congratulated him on finally having a completely self-made, self-written, self-directed and self-directed film, Ou Wei joked: "The result of self-made, self-written, self-directed and self-directed was suicide later! When everyone is laughing, how do you know that he is really working hard for the filming of Chase? His exhaustion made his illness worse. It is close to the truth to say that he committed suicide!

Shadow light

He grew up in the days of our lives of 13, leaving an immortal statue.

1972 Autumn Decision also won the 10th Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, directed by the popular film company Li Hsing.

Postmortem honor

1982, nine years after Ou Wei's death, the "Miss Award" was awarded at the 9th/kloc-0 Golden Horse Awards Ceremony. Ms. Huang Zhuang Liyang, the widow of Ou Wei, took a pair of children left by Ou Wei to the stage to receive the award. Li Hsing, Ke Junxiong and other film representatives presented solatium with 200,000 yuan. However, Ms. Zhuang said that "I have a job that is enough to support my family and raise my children" and donated the bonus on the spot as a fund for the film industry. The perseverance she showed touched the guests present. Behind the original will of the film emperor, there is also a family with will.

1993, 20 years after Ou Wei's death, the 30th Golden Horse Award voted "Thirty Golden Horse", and Ou Wei was elected by a high vote in the first round of voting. Among the 30 people who made great contributions to China's film industry, he was the only one who died.

He devoted his life to the film industry and made a great contribution to the film industry. Ou Wei's position is deeply affirmed by everyone. He is not only a sudden death "comet", but also a rare "star". ......

The movie star has fallen.

"I have a little confidence in my illness. You work too hard. I want to write a letter to Hong Kong to deal with the shooting ... "

~ the last note Orwell left.

buy time

Ou Wei asked his wife to stay in Tainan for fear that her mother would be left unattended in her hometown Xinhua. Being alone in Taipei, on the one hand, the filming work is heavy, and the life is not normal. Coupled with the inevitable social intercourse, Ouwei's body has long been in a state of illness. The crew who filmed Chase with him felt that he was too tired and looked bad. Later, it was found that his leg was swollen and his muscles almost lost their elasticity. At everyone's urging, although Ou Wei went to the hospital for examination, he said that he had not received the doctor's explanation. In fact, western medicine has always been pessimistic about his uremia. ......

Ou Wei took a watch when he filmed Chasing. Does he also feel that he is racing against time?

1973 65438+ In February, Ou Wei died in Tainan. At that time, he was only 37 years old, his daughter was over 2 years old, and his son was born only two weeks ago!

Stick to the ideal until death do us part.

Ou Wei is an actor who was born and raised in Taiwan Province Province. He has been obsessed with film performances all his life, instead of pursuing fame and fortune in his silver-haired career, and has not changed from beginning to end. He lay speechless in his hospital bed, and the last note he wrote to his wife said that he still wanted to deal with the film. Even after his death, he still has the mirror table of that movie in his pocket, and there are too many unfinished ideals!

On the day of Ou Wei's death, Director Li Xing rushed to Ou Wei's home and saw Ou Wei for the last time before the coffin was closed. He lamented that the death of Ou Wei was more of a loss to China films than the death of Bruce Lee! Jackie Chan came after Bruce Lee, but what about Ovi?

Ou Wei was bent on performing a drama "Kneeling on a Hot Slate" directed by Li Hsing and written by Xie. The play hasn't started yet, but it will never wait for the hero! Ou Wei's sudden death left infinite regret for the whole film industry. ......

Emotional experience

"Dear, this photo was taken on location in Taipei Round Mountain. The director is explaining the plot to me. Li, can you guess which one is yours? ~ Your gift. "

~ Orwell's message to his wife

Ou Wei's mother

The Ouwei family passed down for three generations, and his father died young and was raised by his mother, Ms. Huang Yangbei. The expectation of children is the same as that of ordinary parents ~ I hope he has a stable and reliable job, gets married and leads a dull and stable life. Therefore, when Ou Wei left the society, she also took pains to arrange her son to go to work in a public institution. She doesn't agree with Ou Wei taking pictures. Often, as soon as Ou Wei submitted her resume, she quickly went to the post office to withdraw it. Even so, she didn't stop Ou Wei from becoming an actress. Only later did she have the determination to support the child and be his strong backing. In the face of her son's early death, she persevered and followed her daughter-in-law to continue pulling her two grandchildren to grow up. As for Jinma's vote for Ou Wei as the man of the hour, she can only say that this honor came a little late to express her affirmation of her son's career as an actor. Facing Ou Wei's stills in the cultural relics museum, she thought about it and cried bitterly, feeling that Ou Wei was born to take the road of movies.

Ou Wei, who is introverted and stingy in expressing her feelings, also revealed to her friends that she is not good at expressing. Although he thanked and liked his mother, he was always weak. We can only see the personal feelings of this tough guy on the screen from the trivial things that he wants his wife to stay in Xinhua to take care of his mother, go back to his hometown when he has time, and like to send cloth and cut clothes for his mother.

Silent watcher

During filming, Ou Wei seldom talked about his private life. The outside world did not know that he was married until his death, and his wife and children were exposed.

The acquaintance of Ou Wei and his wife, Ms. Huang, is a wonderful fate. Huang Zhuang Li Yang, who lived in Kaohsiung at that time, longed for the life of an actress, so she sent her photos and materials to the film company for application. At that time, these materials were seen by Ou Wei, and she felt that she hit it off with this girl and took the initiative to communicate with her. Ms. Huang Li secretly said that in fact, his impression of seeing Ou Wei for the first time was not very pleasing. She even thought that Ovi in the photo was better than herself, because Ovi often stayed up late to film at that time, so her face grew a lot of acne and her skin was not good. However, in one letter after another (there are hundreds of letters), Ou Wei showed considerable enthusiasm and sincerity, which also made Ms. Zhuang Liyang willing to continue to associate with him. After dating for several years, Ou Wei proposed to Miss Zhuang at that time. Although she hesitated to marry an actor, she was moved by Ou Wei's sincerity and they formed a family. Although married, this is a secret that can't be told, because Ouwei was not famous at that time, for fear that outsiders would know that he was married and his career would be affected. It was such a secret that he didn't even tell Director Li Xing and his best friend Ke Junxiong. Even his honeymoon trip was spent at Xinhua Ranch (today's animal production laboratory). In addition, Ouwei's father died young, and he was very filial to his mother. Because mother doesn't like the environment in the north, Ou Wei hopes his wife can stay in the south to take care of her. Even when she was ill, Ms. Huang wanted to go to Taipei to take care of Ou Wei, but she still couldn't come. Now that I think about it, Ms. Huang feels a little sorry for it. She thought that if someone was around to take care of Ou Wei, maybe his condition would not deteriorate so quickly.

Ou Wei is serious about being a good actor, and in order to support Ou Wei's determination to win the role of "Autumn Decision", his wife sent him money on time. In order to realize Ou Wei's dream of directing and acting in Chase, my wife booked a director's chair for Ou Wei. Although she watched him run out of savings after starring in Autumn Decision, she also cheered him up behind the scenes. In these processes, we can see the will of this family.

After Ou Wei died, Ms. Huang worked hard to make money, and her mother-in-law worked hard to support her two children. She lives a poor life, but she lives with dignity. After Ou Wei died, she won a memorial prize, and the organizers raised a lot of money for Ou Wei's family. However, Ms. Huang resolutely donated money to people she thought needed more. Ms. Huang said that she felt that Ou Wei's award was their honor. They could survive without money and help more people. What a great and determined woman!
