Due to the sensational effect of the novel Song of Youth, the two major studios in Beijing and Shanghai are deadlocked on the film Song of Youth. Choosing Lin Daojing's actors is the key to the success of this film. Many famous actors wanted to play Lin Daojing (including the famous movie star Bai Yang and the sister of screenwriter Yang Mo), but Xie Fang, a young actor from Hubei Opera House, stood out and played Lin Daojing. Cui Wei took a big risk in choosing such a person with no experience in film performance. On the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Peng Zhen instructed that "Song of Youth" must be filmed with the best film. Director Cui Xie knows the weight of this film. Even the supporting actors around Lin Daojing were carefully selected to play Qin Yi as Lin Hong, Yu Shizhi as Yu Yongze, Kangtai as Lu Jiachuan, Yu Yang as Jiang Hua, Zhao Lian as the traitor Dai Yu, and even The Landlord with Words was played by the old actor Zhao Ziyue. Qu Xixian, a great composer, was also invited to compose music, and Li, a great conductor, was the conductor. Nie Jing (Zhang Ga, a soldier), a famous photographer in Beijing, completed the production of the whole film in just over five months. Peng Zhen personally reviewed the sample film and unanimously recommended it as a 10-year tribute film for "Anniversary". Cui Xie ventured to introduce Xie Fang whose name has not changed, which proved to be far-sighted. The film Song of Youth was a great success. After the release, all cinemas in Beijing were full, and many even staged 24 hours a day. At that time, it was a difficult period of three years, and many people queued to buy tickets because they didn't have enough to eat. With the screening of this film, the anti-Japanese pop song "Flowers in May" swept the country again. At the same time, the film also caused a sensation in Japan, North Korea, Vietnam and other overseas countries. 1960 From May to July, Song of Youth was shown for 36 times in Tokyo, Sendai, Sapporo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Nagoya and other places in Japan, which was warmly sought after by young Japanese audiences. 196 1 In the spring of, Xie Fang visited Japan. On the streets of Tokyo, a huge portrait of Lin Daojing is one floor high. Everywhere the delegation's car went, there were crowds holding notebooks and asking Xie Fang to sign it as a souvenir. The fans shouted enthusiastically: Lin Daojing! Lin Daojing!
