Lan Tianye: Goodbye, goodbye

As long as he is still standing on the stage

Is a coordinate of Chinese drama

Now, the old coordinates have retired

In the afternoon of June 8, when Lan Tianye died in his sleep, the Beijing People's Art Theater was busy. Four days later are the big days of the 70th anniversary of Renyi. The whole courtyard is busy preparing to commemorate the performance and live broadcast every night. Some reporters met Wu Cunxin in the rehearsal hall. He seemed to be prepared for this day, and said with a smile, "It's perfect. His wonderful life is like a play, it should be the curtain." In the moment, exhaustion and stunned.

Wu Cunxin said that the blue sky was very serious and refused to treat. "Very good choice, why is it so painful. In the end, he couldn't eat something, and the wax torch became ashes." In a TV interview at the beginning of the year, Lan Tianye revealed that he had pancreatic cancer.

The highlight of the 70th anniversary of Renyi is the collective performance of the second generation of the "Tea House" team on the day of the court, and the first live broadcast. Liang Guanhua plays the shopkeeper, Xi Cunxin plays Chang Siye, and Yang Lixin's role is Qin Zhongyi. In 1958, "Tea House" premiered, Qin Zhongyi was performed by the blue sky. At that time, he was just in his early 30s. The people on the same stage are so, Zheng Rong, Ying Ruocheng, Huang Zongluo, etc., the screenwriters of Lao She, Director Jiao Juyin and Xia Chun, are the founding generation of human art and the golden generation of gold.

In that generation, Lan Tianye left from the stage. In 2020, he also participated in "Home"; in 2021, he directed "Wu Wang Jin Geyue King Sword" for the third time. He once said: "I am sometimes satisfied with this life, and even a little proud, but more twists and turns, bumps, I think it is teach me in life, how to create on the stage." Standing on the stage is a coordinate of Chinese drama. Now, the old coordinates have retired.

"Acting is so something"

"He has a decentness in his bones." Wang Keran, the artistic director of the Drama of Yanghua, can see that this decentness of Lan Tianye comes from the firm values ​​of his heart. If you respect, he will be very happy, treat you as yourself, you do not respect, and sometimes you will touch the nails. "He has a lot of edges and corners."

In the drama, Wang Keran feels that the values ​​of Blue Skywan are "firmly and thoroughly maintain the dignity of human art." This happened in the blue sky and wild body. "The Jiangshan of Renyi was played by them, and the drama genres of human arts were laid by them," Wang Keran told "China News Weekly", "That generation has a sense of glory, he (so) is the most allowing me to accept of".

Lan Tianye is the relic of Beijing Renyi Golden Generation. From the founding of the new Chinese to the early 1990s, the generation of people has shaped the drama style of Beijing Renyi. The "Chinese school" referred to by Jiao Juyin was also established in their performances. Their most publicly -known collective work was the first "Tea House". Now it seems that the team that is glory is unusual at the time.

Lan Tianye plays the capitalist Qin Zhongyi. In the script, Lao She described this role "to wear exquisitely, full of spring breeze", and it is very lined with the temperament of Lan Tianye's appearance. At the end of 1956, Lao She wrote the script, and Beijing Renrenyi Construction Group and distributed role. Lan Tianye was not familiar with the capitalist. After he got the role, he immediately experienced life. He went to the teahouse in the front door and the Daedimen area to make friends with entrepreneurs.

At that time, I was not in a hurry. The "Tea House" rehearsed for the first time, and spent more time spending more time than rehearsal. Experience life is back. Director Jiao Juyin asked the actor to make a sketch of the role first, so as to build his own characters, and finally began to play. Lan Tianye compiled a sketch called "Quail Dou", saying that Qin Erye had only the best quail, and was seen by Eunuch Pang. Qin Erye deliberately spoke, making Eunuch Pang unable to afford it. Then, he sent people to Pang Taiji's Mansion again. This apparently made Pang Eunuch's great insult and ordered someone to blow up the wine. Qin Erye listened, and only looked back coldly. A sketch, applauding.

For these styles and methods of human art, Blue Sky and wild have the identity in the bones. When he starred in "Jiaziyuan" at the age of 85, although he had gone through vicissitudes and full experience, he still spent some effort to build the image of the character from his heart. The "deep inner experience" that Beijing Renyi attaches great importance to, and Steinnislavsky's theory of "starting from self" has inspired him and was used for life. And these theories have been denied, and he is naturally angry.

This does not mean stubborn. In the years when "Little Fresh Meat" was widely criticized, some people asked Lan Tianye, but he issued solidarity. He said that "little fresh meat" is an insulting title. A actor may not become an artist. You can say that the performance is not good enough, but don't insult him.

Someone did not agree with the saying of "Beijing Renli Art Performance School", and he did not agree. He said that after decades, Renyi has indeed formed his own style, but he cannot live with the leader of Chinese drama.

Such a little bit, he thought for a lifetime, and did a lifetime.

Since 1952, from the Beijing People's Art Construction Academy, he merged with the Drama Troupe of the Central Academy of Drama. He has played more than 70 dramas such as "Bright Sky", "Beijinger", "Tea House", "Guan Hanqing", "The People with Gun", "Cai Wenji" and "Wang Zhaojun". Qin Zhongyi in the Tea House, Dong Sai in "Cai Wenji", and Hu Hanxieyu in "Wang Zhaojun". After turning into the director's establishment, he directed more than ten Chinese and foreign dramas. After experiencing the turmoil of the world, the methods and moods of acting are changing.

When he first performed "Tea House", Lan Tianye was 31 years old, which was the age of Qin Zhongyi in the first act. At the third act, the role was more than 70, and he had to perform hard. When the last round of "Tea House" in 1992, half of his life passed, he was 65 years old, and the first scene became a problem. In order to perform the chicness of the young Qin Er Ye, he changed his appearance and set Qin Er Ye into a state of Costa. One arrow stepped in the threshold, the robe on the waist was big, and the braids around the neck were shaken. The guy caught up and took over the horse whip.

In 1987, Lan Tianye retired on time at a sixty age, and seemed to be able to say goodbye to the drama and concentrate on painting and calligraphy. At the invitation of others, it also performed TV series occasionally. In those years, his inadvertently inserted willow in "Sealing God Bang" and "Desire" won the awareness of the whole country, and then left the public vision completely.

No one may want to get it. Later, Lan Tianye could still play in his 90s and live to 95 years old. When he was young, he was a well -known "sick seedling", and the root of the disease fell when the "Great Leap Forward". At that time, the assault row, even "Tea House", a drama that was not a leather theme, was also used as a "Great Leap Forward". field. In addition to acting, you must also participate in large steel refining and smashing ore. From the time of 30, he did not sleep on the one day. Because of low blood pressure, it fainted more than once in the background. After he wanted to leave the drama, his body improved miraculously, and his blood pressure returned to normal, and he became the most tough person in the old generation.

At the age of 84, with the invitation of the leadership of human art, he returned to the stage of 19 years and starred in the drama "Home". Lan Tianye's "decaying reform" has since opened.

"You are human, I am also human!"

Now that you return to the stage, Blue Skywa wants to do something different. His determination appeared from the casting of "Home".

In 2011, Zhang Heping, the dean of Beijing, Zhang Heping in the cafeteria, a "Hongmen Banquet" in the cafeteria. The guests were two couples of Zhu Xu and Lan Tianye. After three patrols, Zhang Heping turned around, and asked the two elderly people to go out and play the role in the newly lined up. At this time, 19 years have passed away from Lan Tianye's last performance. Zhu Xu agreed to be very simple, he never left the drama stage. And Lan Tianye has been sparsely acting for a long time and resigned again and again. The conversation was embarrassed. Mrs. Zhu Xu, Song Xueru, played a round field in a timely manner, saying that it was important. When you go back, think about it carefully and reply to the theater.

A few days later, Lan Tianye's response did not want to perform, but several artistic leaders present were not loose. So I chatted, and Lan Tianye talked about art, saying that according to the conventional thoughts, it must be that I played the old lady Gao and let Zhu Xu act as Feng Leshan, but artistic creation must think about it. I have never played the opposite character. If I play it What about the hypocrites Feng Leshan? Not long after, the leadership of Renyi asked Zhu Xu to discuss the role. What I said it became true, and Lan Tianye had no reason to quit again. This year, he returned to the stage of the drama with "Home". He is 84 years old, and the center of gravity has long been transferred to painting.

The second year is the 60th anniversary of the Beijing Renmin Arts Institute. The theater commemorates the year of Jiazi with a new drama "Jiaziyuan", and has moved Lan Tianye out of the mountain.

This is a story that happened in the nursing home. Lan Tianye starred in the protagonist old architect Huang imitated me, and the old actors such as Zhu Lin, Zhu Xu, Zheng Rong, and other old actors on the stage were on the stage. After a round of acting, Lan Tianye felt that it was not rusty, but grew more than before. The experience of life has changed, and the understanding of life, society, and people has changed. Why can I find the feeling for nearly 20 years? He said that it is not how good the ability and skills of acting are, but that I feel that drama is his life, and it is how life is teaching him how to create.

When he was young, the old man in his play, later he was older than the role.

In the last scene of the "Tea House", Wang's shopkeeper, Qin Erye, and Chang Siye worshiped paper money and said goodbye to each other in despair. This is a classic scene on the stage of Chinese drama. After ten years of suspension of the "Cultural Revolution", Lan Tianye had a thorough understanding of the play. "I have witnessed some people who are tortured and imprisoned ... not only the physical destruction, but also the blow and insults of the soul and personality," he recalled, "Not only knowing, understanding, but also experience."

In "Jiaziyuan", Huang imitated me about the old building of the old building. "In 1945, this is the CCP's underground party liaison station." At that moment, it seemed to be the twilight of the twilight years. In 1945, Lan Tianye was an underground party of Peiping. His home was the underground party base, with radio stations and antenna. At that time, he began to devote himself to the drama, which was a job sent by superiors: to carry out revolutionary activities with drama. The name of Lan Tianye was also a pseudonym for underground work. He was originally known as Wang Runsen. He was born in Raoyang County, Raoyang County, Hebei in 1927. He moved to Peiping with his family at full moon. In the winter of 1948, the Battle of Pingjin developed rapidly. Peiping had become a lonely city. He transferred to the Shijingshan Power Plant with the organization. The PLA Command gave them a pig and a sheep. In the past year, Peiping liberated. He was the first winner who entered Peiping City. Grandma Jin recalled that "the big girl and the little daughter -in -law to twist the Yangge on the street" is exactly the scene of the PLA's entry into the city. The 22 -year -old Lan Tianye stood on the Jinshui Bridge of Tiananmen and saw this scene.

Recalling in 1968, "It was ransacked here ... Grandpa died under this big tree." He has seen such a scene.

In 1966, the Cultural Revolution came, and the first big newspaper posted in Beijing Renyi. From the far -fetched drama "The Ren" of Mori's drama, a line of lines were raised, and the Beijing Renyi was approved into a large black nest of the literary and artistic black line. Essence Lan Tianye and his colleague Liang Bingxuan felt ridiculous. The next day he wrote a large word to refute and signed the names of the two. At that time, he didn't know what was going on in this movement, and he was attributed to his "thinking consistent". The two of them became the earliest people to be hit by Beijing Renyi. At a discussion of his party membership at a time, the colleague of the unit raised his hand to agree. A elder sister also took the initiative to expose him, saying that he had been to her house and encouraged her to siege the villain. Lan Tianye laughed dumbly, and he didn't even know where her family was.

In "Jiaziyuan", each time when it comes to a period, the handwriting left by the people at the time was released, and there was a sentence written by the blue sky. He waved his hand and wrote seven words: "You are human, I am also human!"

The trauma brought about by the political movement may make him more cherish the trust of people. He has the old -fashioned side, which allows some of his stories to echoed through the distant space -time.

In the 1980s, "Wu Wang Jin Geyue King Sword" was written by his writer Bai Hua. After writing, Bai Hua's film "Bitter Love" was criticized. Beijing Renyi therefore shelved "Wu Wang Jin Geyue King Sword". One year later, the wind passed, and the blue sky was restarted. After the performance of Beijing, the response was enthusiastic. Several central leaders gave high evaluations, and then launched a national tour.

When the performance reached more than 70 games, Bai Hua called and asked if the show was still performing. At that time, Bai Hua's preparation was in the Wuhan Military Region. Phenomenon. Lan Tianye didn't care, and later learned that because of this play, Bai Hua was criticized for more than a year.

31 years later, in 2014, Beijing Renyi invited Lan Tianye to pick a rehearsal in the 14 plays directed by. He had no hesitation and chose "Wu Wang Jin Geyue King Sword". This is neither his most influential work nor the highest famous script. The reason is "the talented script for Baihua, but encountered an abnormal public opinion environment at the time." He called Bai Hua in Shanghai, and Bai Hua was surprised. This drama re -tells the allusion of "lying salary and courage". After the king of Yue Gou, the load of humiliation. After finally completing the great cause of recovery, his selfishness expanded and repeated Wu Wang's tragedy. "The big public opinion environment is different. These plays are both good and practical. This is the principle of our drama." Lan Tianye showed a stubborn side.

The story has not ended here. At the beginning of 2021, the 94 -year -old blue sky wild walked into the Renyi Training Hall with a crutch, and once again rehearsed "Wu Wang Jin Geyue King Sword". He remembered Bai Hua, who died two years ago, looked sad. He choked and said that Bai Hua wrote this scene is actually a strong family feelings. But at that time, he encountered the opposite misunderstanding, and Lan Tianye was unprepared.

"Repentance requires strength, and forgiveness requires greater power"

By the age of 80, the blue sky wild occasionally went to the small theater to watch the new drama of young people. On one occasion, in the Peng Artemisia Theater in Hutong, he told the playwright Wan Fang that he wanted to let her write a drama about the two elderly people. He wanted to use this to cooperate with his old friend Jiao Huang. As a result, he coincidentally, the drama was signed and produced by the Central China Drama.

The drama is called "Winter Journey", and the theme is deep. The two protagonists Chen Qizheng and Lao Jin were classmates and the best friends when they were young. Later, during the "Cultural Revolution" period, Chen Qizheng forced to sell Lao Jin under pressure, which caused him to be imprisoned and broke his family. In the twilight years, Chen Qizhen found Lao Jin, who hadn't seen him for many years, and wanted to ask him for forgiveness. Wan Fang sets the theme as damage and forgiveness. The original name was "Repentance".

Wan Fang recalled "China News Weekly" that Lan Tianye did not request any requirements for the script. When she conceived the content, she thought of her father Cao Yu and the experience of that generation. She was most familiar with the "Cultural Revolution" for ten years. Essence She used the most cruel era of manuscript paper, and made a biography of her father. "Repentance requires strength, and forgiveness requires greater power." Lan Tianye likes this script, and was moved by watching the script for the first time. "What an actor is most afraid of is to encounter a drama that makes himself active. This script really moves me not only those experiences in the play, but also a release." He said.

"Winter Journey" toured fifty or sixty games and went to the theater in Taiwan, which caused a sensation everywhere. "I think Teacher Tianye has invested all emotions about this drama, and has a shocking power." At the end of the play, when Lan Tianye walked down the stage with a crutch, Wan Fang felt that he had been united with Lao Jin.

"This play has his life experience. He is not singing his song in the role of others, but sings the sadness and joy of most people in his destiny." Wang Keran explained this state of physical and mental integration, and he felt that the blue sky and wild in the year of the puppet broke out of high -energy performance energy. Every time he had to hold his palms and sweat from the beginning.

The blue sky savage is high, with a clear outline, and most of his life has a handsome back. Wan Fang felt that he had a temperament on his body, so the road was mostly the capitalist of "Tea House" Qin Er Ye and Hu Hanxie in "Wang Zhaojun". In "The Tour of Winter", through the character of the old gold, he finally took off the "noble coat". Lao Jin was a victim who tried to suffer suffering. Now he entered the desolate old age, and Blue Skywa performed the twilight of the extremely life.

This drama consumes a lot of people. In 92 minutes, the 88 -year -old Blue Sky and 63 -year -old Li Liqun is on the stage every second, even if it is a test of young actors. In the afternoon before the performance, Lan Tianye had to say another word with Li Liqun. Before the performance, the two took hands to cheer each other in the background.

Lan Tianye not only felt tired, but the enthusiasm of the drama continued to burn. He also has a wish, hoping to play a play in the end, the theme is Cao Xueqin. He invited Guo Qihong, the screenwriter of "Du Fu" and "Li Bai", and Guo Yizhou refused to prepare too much. He also mentioned He Jiping, the screenwriter of "Jiaziyuan". and many more. This waiting, I never waited again.

"He is a free -living person, what he wants to do and say is what he wants to do and want to say." Wan Fang said, "So he constantly acts, I think it is also his own wish. I did not consider so much, did not consider it, did not consider He will not think of these lights to the artistic career. "She grew up in Beijing from an early age. Lan Tianye watched her" Uncle Tianye "who grew up. The two knew each other deeply.

Through the story written by Wanfang, Lan Tianye revealed his twilight state of mind. He said that the theme of repentance, forgiveness and memories was also the problem of people he thought about. Although it is almost 90 years old, many things in life are unable to let go. It is the harm between people, as well as forgiveness and understanding later.

In "The Journey to the Winter", Lao Jin and Lao Chen talked about his knees, and he fiddled with a knot entangled for half a life. It was not just letting go of revenge, but to go through the desperate situation and entered another state of life.

At the end, Lao Jin was holding a cane, facing the light on the side of the stage, and walked slowly. He left his old friend behind him, and left the past behind him, and his tall figure disappeared into the light. "Goodbye, goodbye", Lao Jin left the last sentence. Wan Fang burst into tears. Lan Tianye also went down, "Goodbye, goodbye."
