At the beginning of the birth of Chinese films in 1905, Tan Xinpei, who came out of Wuhan, starred in the first film "Dingjun Mountain" shot by the Chinese by himself, which opened the curtain of Chinese films. In more than a hundred years, many Wuhan people who love movies have been associated with movies. Min Yanqing said that he is just an ordinary Wuhan person who likes movie collection. Essence

Min Yanqing was born in a small business house in Hankou in 1945. "The five generations in my family are all old Hankou. I was born on Nanjing Road. The girl now lives in Shanghai Road. Lao Hankou culture, I really love. "

When I was young, my father liked Peking Opera and his mother liked Han opera. From an early age, he watched the drama with adults, so that Min Yan Qingtong fell in love with literature and art. After that, because his sister became a professional film screenplay, his brother also went to work in a film company, and let him even let him work. I love the movie a little more. Watching movies and talking about movies is his biggest happiness in his youth.

However, after adulthood, Min Yanqing discovered that these years of discussion began to be forgotten slowly, especially without leaving items that could be proof.

As a result, Min Yanqing made a thought: to leave a little thing to prove the glory of Wuhan movies to later generations, and this has also become his hobby and career of his life.

It turns out that the fifth generation of Tanmen has been involved in the screen

During the collection process of Min Yanqing, the more I know the history of Wuhan's film, the more I feel that the movie story of the city is so rich. For example, many people know that Tan Xinpei is the first actor in the history of Chinese film, but few people know that of the seven generations of Tanmen, Jiangxia, Wuhan, five generations have been involved in the screen. From 1905, China's first film "Dingjun Mountain Mountain ", By 1935, China's first voice opera film" Siro Detective Mother ", and then the model drama film" Shajiabang ", which was all the rage in 1971, and" Zhao's Orphan "in 2015, Tan Xinpei, Tan Fuying, Tan Yuanshou , Tan Xiaogeng, Tan Zhengyan, this gorgeous Tan's trajectory, the history of the Beijing opera, and the history of film. In Min Yanqing's collections, Tan Xinpei's items are full of lift boxes. The most noticeable of which is the seven sets of "Tan Family Spectrum" in 1916.

Min Yanqing said that this set of books was discovered by accident in the antique market. At that time, the shop owner was unwilling to sell. Min Yanqing went to a few trips and returned without success.

Later, Min Yanqing learned that the owner liked porcelain particularly, so he took the vase of an official kiln passed down from the older generation of the family to the shop and proposed that the owner loved it. Finally agreed with his request. "Maybe someone thinks I lose, but I get what I like, this can not be measured with money."

Seeing the development of movies, I also see historical changes

From the collection of the first female star Ye Qiuxin in Wuhan, to the oldest movie theater in Wuhan, the hand -engraved wax version of the Xinhua Cinema, and every collection of Min Yanqing was deeply imprinted by Wuhan. "It is not a collection related to Wuhan movies. I don't accept it. In history, the cultural atmosphere of Wuhan has always been strong. The literatures I have collected here are proof."

Zhongyuan Cinema, Jiefang Cinema, Dahua Cinema, Cultural Club ... The roots of the movie tickets of these theaters, Min Yanqing collected several folders. Historically, the number of screens owned by Wuhan people has always been the lead in the country. "Our old martial arts people, calling the movie theater," Activity Movie ", is it very vivid? Others may just watch movies. I still know the changes in history in these movies."

Just a slide, Min Yanqing collected three different models: three -lens, single -lens, handheld, and mini. Among them, the slide machine of the three lenses felt the most rare. "The single -lens slide we used before can only be played like a picture. The three -lens slide let the birds fly on the screen and the water flows on the screen. Well, the most rare is that this projector is produced by a school -run factory of our Hubei Jiayu. You said it is great. "

As a recorder of the times, he picked up every light and shadow memory with his heart, providing rich historical materials for studying the development of Wuhan's film culture.In the Baidu Encyclopedia of Min Yanqing, the characters experienced a column with Wuhan citizens.As he said, I just like the citizen of Wuhan who likes movie collection, but in recent years, I can leave some historical records for Wuhan. It is really proud of myself. It is not easy to collect these things.【Edit: Yao Hao】
