Chen Shilin has created the myth of the red image. Rely on darkroom techniques, processing to create Mao Zedong in different stages of the standards as age, their successors, never aging, even into old age Mao Zedong, how the screen repair, «not the President».
Chen Shilin, senior engineer of China Institute of photographers, photography, a former head of the Department of Technology, head of the renovation, the head of the national leaders of photo work. In addition to the standard like Mao Zedong, Chen Shilin then processed photographs of the leaders of all countries, including Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, and Lin Biao.
Chen Shilin to 10-year-old father was sent to Nanjing photo studio learned, and later to Hong Kong and Taiwan to make a living, studying and processing photos. July 1950, Chen Shilin returned to the mainland, at that time very few people will be processed photos, and can repair the light of the level, density and three-dimensional sense, Chen Shilin was as a talent left, into the Central News photography, and later Also into the Department of the Xinhua News Agency photographer, and enjoy and the old revolutionary Yan'an to the same high-level treatment, Xiaozao can eat, sleep sofa bed.
Just have to catch up with production standards as Mao Zedong, Chen Shilin put the use of technology.
Mao Zedong's old age as the standard
«Politics is the first»
Several people asked Chen Shilin, why the picture of Chairman Mao's teeth are so white it » Just liberation, the President smoking Choude teeth deep color, the camera, smile, the teeth are all black, Fengdao Chairman of the teeth are exposed to the photo, it must be to repair the teeth out of the black.
Also ask, is this breach of authenticity ah » Chen Shilin said that the issue should think so, the President so busy working so tired, he often called to Xiya to do a very white teeth, it is impossible to do so! We engage in technical work, it is necessary to understand, simply to repair the photos will end. If the photo is black teeth, I think this is untrue, from the essence, the President of the tooth itself is white, black teeth out repair is the real effect.
1965, Chairman Mao back on the Jinggang Mountains, have taken a smiling, feeling good screen. But the screen left and right have Dongzhangxiwang people, it is not coordinated, if the two sides cut out and lose the scene of the atmosphere. Chen Shilin shoulder the task of finishing the photo, his three films of amplification, removed the screen around the crowd and restore the site and trees and repair to the President of the white teeth, «to strengthen the smile of joy and Mao Zedong. »
«I was head of the renovation, is over'Copy'up, maintenance is the'dressing'of repair. Do not know, people thought there was a group opposed to revisionism. » Chen Shilin recalled.
In order to ensure the safety of Chairman Mao, Mao Zedong never on the photo studio, do not like being put film, Chen Shilin from 10.000 then to select a film Mao Zedong and pictures of model workers from the «group as» a Kouchu Mao Zedong's portrait, he watches the winding grinding very small, made blade, repair out of Mao Zedong's right rear head. Mao Zedong as the first standard was born in the winding Daoxia, a year on printing 10.000 over 2000, and as the highest denomination of the logo, on the future of the new version of the renminbi.
«Photos should not be out repair, is what is what, the people can understand. But the situation is different, politics is the first. » Chen Shilin stressed that the dressing on the premise that good pictures, photos must be true. In particular, the photo image structure can not be fixed and moving one point on the false point. The fake photos is not a good end. Chen Shilin, in particular, often because of political reasons, the need for photo Dongtaishoushu, for example, was issued with a Chairman Mao, Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, and other jointly attended meetings of the photo, but no reason was photographed reporter Deng Xiaoping, the late working hours to find Qi Zhao, Chen Yi, the first cut from the screen, the first of Deng Xiaoping in the Chen Yi on. 这桩«For the first case» was discovered in the end, the «Gang of Four» as for «Zou Zipai» the revival of the evidence, much criticized, processing photos of people have also been punished.
«The most like» Chairman Mao«I never neglect on the President does not like, but the true image of the President has not been a true record. » In the darkroom practice, Chen Shilin gradually worked out a set of practices, so that photo looks «most like» Chairman Mao, The key is to the leaders Xinlingshenkuai temperament, to the leaders with the deep feelings of careful observation, the other with obvious charm. For example, the head of Chairman Mao's light, the bright areas must be bright, Chairman Mao's forehead on the «keel», the wisdom of profiling is very small, it is slightly better light, and Chairman Mao in his later years lower blepharoplasty relatively deep, can be gentle here 1:00; Chairman Mao's eyes that is very bright, a bit older the turbidity, it is necessary to slightly improve that Yanbai some brightness. Paper is also very important, because the general to enlarge a contraction of the paper, we should enlarge the Hungarian paper, Chairman Mao's photos will not be deformed.
In Chen Shilin, the political figures as a unique, not the United States and the United States does not matter inverted. No computer age, can only use transparent watercolor dyes Tu, with thinning fluid, where the concentration, where the short, relying on a sense of the images. Such as Mao Zedong's third standards as initially requested the photo studio is the senior technician repaired, the repair of their results too carefully, too smooth face, the leaders looked like a porcelain doll, the film had to take back again to Chen Shilin做. The production process also stress, often leading to the silent film will be Chen Shilin, Chen Shilin alone dressing processing, and then quietly handed over.
Chen Shilin's office was closed area, most people can not enter lightly, but not editing the photos are absolutely can not leak, used the photograph to all thrown into a big stove, where the spot was damaged. Photos result is good or bad, we do not speak a word. Because the accused photo, was also accused leaders such as the shortage is to Taibu Jing.
In the 1960s, Chen Shilin reached the pinnacle of his career, he has even met with a darkroom, what major events in Tiananmen Square, the reporter just as Paiwan, the film immediately sent here by Chen Shilin to the fastest The processing speed of dressing. In addition to photos to repair more like Chairman Mao, on the screen easily lead to ambiguous elements, such as people waved the arm blocked Chairman Mao's face, but also doomed to be deleted.
In 1976, Mao Zedong's death. As the first representative of the masses, he entered the Great Hall of the late Chairman Mao visited the Office of the North, pinning grief. Ban Beizai processing the photos of Chairman Mao, this is his first close-up to see Chairman Mao, Hua Lezhuang Mao Zedong's body, his face coated red, looks like the living. Chen Shilin has a heart, the outline of Chairman Mao or a really good, but not the same and the pictures.
Who Moved Chairman Mao's collar
Chen Shilin in the darkroom for Chairman Mao in the entire two collar. Mao Zedong's third standards as the most widely circulated, it was rarely know is that Chen Shilin spread out the background on the exposed Dengzhao son, Xiaodiao the clothes on the fold, even Mao Zedong's white shirt collar outlined the full lineup. Only the masses have sharp eyes, this picture was singled out in the end of the bones, why Chairman Mao in this picture, only revealed a ears, eyes and the left side, this is slander Chairman Mao «Piantingpianxin. »
1964, To make a positive as Mao Zedong, two ears exposed as the standard, the major task fell Xinhua News Agency reporters Zheng Jingkang and De Toushang. In order not to disturb Chairman Mao, Chung Kyung Kang only with a simple lighting, to alone met. Photo shoot back, or quietly handed over to the leadership of Chen Shilin. Chen Shilin are still not speaking a word, many years after he disclosed: «i get photos, is only as a great man, Mao Zedong and this picture simply can not meet the masses worship him. » Appears in Chen Shilin, This record is what the leaders of the photos is almost waste: matt Mao Zedong's eyes, is very old, a large shadow on the clothes, not the collar and tidy.
But Chen Shilin know the difficulties photographers. That time, Chairman Mao is God, even the photographer to see what Chairman Mao did not dare speak with him, where dare to remind the President, and even dare to Momo President of the collar, helping to fold Chairman Ma Ping.
Chen Shilin can only move in the dark room of Mao Zedong's collar. He used the magnifying glass to repair four times, the lack of repair swap. At that moment, the Chen Shilin, technology has reached the pinnacle of a real state. After finishing the photo, than even five years ago, Mao Zedong produced the third as the standard is still young, more black hair, wrinkles and even less. This time of Mao Zedong, has a 70-year-old. 1998, Chen Shilin met Mao Zedong's daughter Li Na, Lina said that like the picture of Chairman Mao personally delineated, its magical Line praise: «No matter in what direction, the President of the eye is watching you. »
After finishing the fourth standards as almost perfect, until the masses put forward new ideas. In f
