On February 3, 1949, when Peiping was liberated, the 22-year-old Lan Tianye happily went to the Tiananmen Jinshui Bridge, huddled in the crowd to watch the ceremony, and returned excitedly to write: The people's liberation army entry ceremony into the city is majestic, mighty and warm.
Peiping boiled over, and ordinary people rushed forward to comfort the People's Liberation Army.
Over the past 73 years, the motherland has developed with each passing day and prospered. In 2021, the centenary of the party, at the ceremony of awarding the "July 1st Medal", a famous artist entered people's field of vision.
He is Blue Sky Wild, because he has made great merits for the cause of the party, he was awarded the "July 1st Medal". When the 94-year-old walked into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, when the narration introduced him: "The blue sky wild was once an underground soldier", people's eyes were moist.
It turned out that this beloved old artist, who had been an underground worker, had been born and died for the revolution, and was an old party member who was loyal to the party.
Yes, the teenager Blue Sky Wild yearns for the light, joined the party at the age of 18, risked his life to work for the party, and even gave up his favorite painting major to act for the party, and changed his original name for the party's work. He obeyed the party's arrangement and later became an outstanding artist.
He made meritorious contributions to the work of the party; later he shone on the artistic stage, winning the "Chinese Drama Award , Lifetime Achievement Award" and "National Virtue and Art Shuangxin Award , Lifetime Achievement Award" and other honors, this red artist, whose original intention has not changed for more than 70 years, is a well-deserved meritorious figure.
When a teenager joined the party, he was full of enthusiasm for the revolution
Born in 1927, Lan Tianye, whose original name was Wang Runsen, is a native of Beijing.
At that time in China, the people's lives were in dire straits, and it was common for them to freeze to death and starve to death. Little Blue Sky Wild has seen more of this kind of human tragedy, and he deeply understands the hardships of the human world.
Blue Sky Wild has been fascinated by painting since he was a child, and his eyes are all paintings, and everything that can be painted is fascinated.
When he went to the temple fair, he looked at a variety of folk crafts; "visited" the theater garden, he studied faces, costumes, and weapons; reading villain books, he learned comic strips and illustrations in picture books. He could see and paint, and he was thinking about learning.
Extremely fascinated, coupled with his extreme talent, at the age of 17, he was admitted to the Peking Art College (the predecessor of the Central Academy of Fine Arts) to study oil painting, and became a painter with a heart.
In the winter of 1944, his friend Su Min pulled him up: Let's go, let's put on a play together. Su Min is the father of actor Pu Cunxin, an actor at the Beijing People's Art Theater who has been involved in the progressive drama movement. That day was The first time That day was The first contact with drama, unexpectedly, he fell in love with this performance, and one performance was a lifetime.
At the age of 18, the third sister Wang Yunhua (pseudonym Shi Mei), who had been away from home for six years, suddenly returned home. When my sister returned from the Liberated Areas, she worked in the City Work Department of the Jin-Cha-Ji Branch of the North China Bureau of the Communist Party of China, and she had the task of developing an underground party in Beijing.
She built her home into an underground party liaison station, many underground workers came and went, and the red atmosphere in the home was very strong.
My sister has been busy at home, and she has not let Blue Sky Wild idle. My sister brought back a short-wave radio, which she dismantled during the day, and at night she assembled it and turned on the broadcast to receive the Liberated Areas.
Lan Tianye was responsible for copying down the contents, took steel plates and wax paper, and used ink to mimeograph hundreds of copies, and took them out to distribute them for propaganda for the party.
Under the influence and leadership of his sister, Blue Sky Wild was quickly "reddened" and gradually moved closer to the party ideologically.
On September 23, 1945, he officially became a glorious Communist Party member, yearning for revolution and advanced ideas. There was no solemn ceremony that day, but it was deeply imprinted in the heart of Blue Sky Wild. He will always remember this day of joining the party, and he feels that it is more important than his birthday.
The organization gave him a special task to join the Peking Drama Club. Blue Sky Wild has also struggled, he loves his painting career the most, and he can't let go of his beloved brush. However, for the needs of the party, he resolutely accepted the task and became a literary and artistic propagandist.
He was sent to the student theater troupe as the backbone of the student movement, playing various roles on stage, using drama to publicize the party and expand his influence. He worked very hard and was very active, and soon grew into a fighter with rich experience in struggle, a good comrade who was relied upon by the Party.
In addition to performing on stage, Blue Sky Wild also has the task of being an underground traffic officer of the party, and he has to run between the Liberated Areas and the White Areas to transport supplies.
When he received the task, he had to risk his life, set off early in the morning, riding a worn-out bicycle, and rushed 50 kilometers to the foot of the West Mountain, bringing a lot of materials, books, and documents needed by the party to meet people.
The people of the joint handed him supplies and materials again, and the blue sky field rushed back in a hurry.
The wind came and went, but he never felt tired, and he always thought that he was not good enough, and he could do more.
In fact, Lan Tianye has done a lot, in 1948, he had two identities, one was acting in the second team, the public identity was a Major of the Kuomintang, and the other was acting in the Motherland Theater Troupe.
At that time, the white terror intensified and the atmosphere was tense, and the Kuomintang stepped up its surveillance of the drama team and sent a new captain surnamed Dong.
Blue Sky Wild immediately formulated a strategy, he called on the team members to welcome the new captain, and at the warm welcome ceremony, he praised the new captain, and the new captain was fooled and fluttered.
Blue Sky Wild said while it was hot, the new captain came to send a welfare, give everyone a three-day holiday in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the holiday, let's do a good job.
The new captain did not think much, agreed, during the holiday, Blue Sky Wild arranged for the team members to retreat, a group of people a day, three days down, all the personnel are gone.
In this way, Blue Sky Wild cleverly led his comrades to retreat safely.
When they arrived in the Liberated Areas, the receptionists asked them: In order not to implicate and influence your relatives and friends, everyone should take a new name.
Blue Sky Wild blurted out the three words "Blue Sky Wild". Unexpectedly, this far-reaching name for the party foreshadowed his later magnificent and brilliant life.
Yin and yang, acting became a lifelong career
In 1949, China was liberated, and the people of the whole country rejoiced.
At the important moment of the founding ceremony, the 22-year-old Blue Sky Wild was also one of the happiest members. When they walked to Tiananmen Square, Lan Tianye excitedly squeezed to the front, and he personally heard Chairman Mao's loud announcement: The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China has been established!
He personally experienced the darkness of the old society, and he had devoted himself wholeheartedly to the battle to build a new China, and he shed tears of excitement when he felt the same.
Everything in New China is new, the Beijing People's Art Theater was officially established, and Blue Sky Wild was honorably one of the excellent members.
Went to act for the party, did not expect the yin and yang, acting became a lifelong career of Blue Sky Wild.
Beijing Renyi inherits the excellent tradition, pays attention to life experience and role accumulation, and will go to the countryside to experience life and familiar roles. Blue Sky Wild was arranged to go to the suburbs, during the day he helped his fellow villagers harvest wheat, and at night he set up a stage to act.
The blue sky and wild soon mingled with the people, fully integrated, felt, and thrown into every fiery moment.
He pays attention to character building and speculation, and every detail is repeatedly deliberated. When he played Zeng Wenqing in "Beijinger", he noticed that the character could draw, love to write poetry, and raise pigeons.
He specifically went to consult experts and practiced every day how to hold the pigeons in his hands, so that the pigeons could not walk comfortably, and pursued the perfection of details.
In 1958, filming of "The Tea House" began. Blue Sky wild played the national capitalist Qin Zhongyi "Second Master Qin", he first went to the tea house to soak for three months, memorized the daily life of old Beijing, guys, and even old eunuchs, and "walked in" the role and pondered it in depth.
Later, he was inspired to design the plot of "Fighting Quail", which profoundly highlighted the characteristics of the characters: Qin Erye and Pang Eunuch showed off their wealth and competed to buy a valuable quail, and Qin Erye won, and the quail was sent to Pang Eunuch to step on him sarcastically.
This plot was very exciting and dramatic on the stage, and it was grounded, and the audience applauded one after another.
Lan Tianye's acting career has begun, Dong Qi in "Cai Wenji", Hu Han evil Shan Yu in "Wang Zhaojun", and Wang Husheng's gentle and elegant old father in "Longing", acting very classicly, the most memorable is Jiang Ziya in "List of Fengshen Gods".
In 1989, when the filming of "Fengshen List" began, Lan Tianye accepted the invitation, he got the script, repeatedly deliberated from the perspective of an expert, and modified many places to witness his skills as an acting expert.
"King Wen visits Xian", the original is Jiang Ziya jing waiting for King Wen to visit; the script is written that Jiang Ziya took the initiative to visit King Wen at night, and The blue sky wild request was changed to: King Wen visited Xian, walked to the Weishui River, and found Jiang Ziya who was fishing by the river.
King Wen respectfully stepped forward to say hello, but Jiang Ziya said, "Jiang Shang has been waiting here for a long time!" The modification of The Blue Sky Wild showed the sincerity of King Wen and flattered the arrogance of Jiang Taigong and Yi Xian Yi Dao, who had a million male soldiers in his chest.
Lan Tianye treats each role with the craftsman spirit of the director, to the extreme, to restore the character spirit and artistic charm to the greatest extent.
He said that at the end of acting, the fight is cultural literacy.
The performance is "phase", and the drama virtue and the drama heart are the "inside", the acting is into the bone into the heart, the blue sky and wild to the stage a stop, it shows the character's wind bone and soul.
Virtue and art are both xinxin, and they shine in their later years
Blue Sky Wild not only has the ability to drastically revise the script, but also carries a critical spirit in virtue and beauty.
Filming "Fengshen List", Lan Tianye just entered the crew after signing the contract, and when he looked at the costumes designed by the Hong Kong team, he felt that it was too avant-garde and exposed, which did not conform to the traditional aesthetic, and immediately proposed to replace it.
However, because of the signing of the contract, the appeal was fruitless, and it could not be dishonest, and could only continue to cooperate.
Dedicated to him, as soon as he entered the role, he was "bigger than the sky" and kept improving himself.
At the age of 62, he followed the crew and traveled to Zhejiang, Xinjiang, Dunhuang, Shenzhen and other places for 11 months, he was meticulous and never complained.
An old man in his sixties, insisting on playing without a stand-in, he feels that as an actor, the sense of form is the first. The play should be done by yourself, because it is part of shaping the character.
Know how to criticize, and then put down criticism, acting supreme; obviously an old man, not relying on the old to sell the old, bearing hardships and standing hard; obviously the status is noble, but there is no shelf, always do it yourself.
He pursues excellence, treats people with sincerity, and treats things with gentleness, and this elegant sentiment is the highest realm of an artist's virtue and art.
In 1987, at the age of 60, Blue Sky Wild retired honorably and worked as a stage for more than 20 years.
In 2011, Zhang Heping, the director of Beijing Renyi Arts, invited Blue Sky Wild back to the stage, and they laughed that it was a "Hongmen Banquet".
Lan Tianye said that after more than 20 years, he didn't know how to act, and he was worried that his acting skills were unfamiliar.
But as soon as he stood on the stage, he seemed to be back to that year, his eyes were clear, his voice was loud and powerful, and he raised his hands and feet to see the style of that year.
In 2020, in order to commemorate the 110th anniversary of Mr. Cao Yu's birth, the renyi drama "Home" was performed, and the 93-year-old Blue Sky Wild appeared on the stage again with a reverence for art.
He also rearranged "Wu Wang Jinge Yue Wang Sword", "Noble Lady Returns home", directed the new drama "The Great Lawyer", starred in "Winter Journey"...
Although the 94-year-old Blue Sky Wild's footsteps are relatively slow, but the waist is straight, the body is straight, and the young people around him always say: "As long as the old man is in the theater and rehearsing the play, the spirit head is better than us." ”
Art ignites life, passion makes people young.
Blue Sky Wild still has a loud voice, clear thinking, and when it comes to acting, his eyes shine. Such a good state is really gratifying. The old man also said that he still wants to act on stage again in the future.
The old ji was overwhelmed and strong. Acting on the stage until old age is truly supreme happiness.
The old man did not let go of his most beloved paintings, he regained his brush and continued his dream of painting. He studied under Li Kuchan and Xu Linlu, two well-known blue sky fields, and has a high artistic attainment, he has created many works, and the expressiveness of his works is not inferior to that of professional painters.
He has held many solo exhibitions of calligraphy and paintings, which have been widely praised.
On the stage, he is exquisitely skilled, affectionately interprets the world, and fully shows the prosperity of the motherland; and between the square inches of the painting paper, he strives to swing, and cang jin just draws the vicissitudes of righteousness in the world.
This veteran artist has a noble personality, a successful career, a happy family, and is truly a winner in life.
Lan Tianye and his wife Di Xin have been married for 64 years and have been in love with each other, and the flounder is deeply in love. In 2018, the 91-year-old Di Xin unfortunately passed away, and Lan Tianye was devastated and wrote a letter to his wife, deeply missing his lover.
Today, the blue sky and wild with more than 70 years of party experience have bloomed on the stage for 78 years, with both virtue and art, supported by people, and a complete life.
He said: "At my age, I can still be on the stage, more than 100 minutes, probably me." ”
Ninety years of prosperity, this artist has always had a pure heart, bowed to the cause of acting, just to continue to shine, it is really admirable!
Lan Tianye has adhered to his original intention all his life, listened to the party's words all his life, adhered to his faith, and served the people.
He is a titan and a giant in the Chinese drama industry, but all the honors and medals represent the past, he never thinks of himself, he only lives in the present.
He jokingly said that he wanted to have two dogs, one called "Master" and one called "Taidou".
When someone says, "You're a master and a titan," he says, "Look, there it is." ”
"Danqing does not know that old age is coming, and wealth is like a floating cloud to me."
Look down on fame and fortune, let go of the past, blue sky and wild live in the present, steadfast, determined, loyal to themselves. But it shows the style and virtue of the master and master.
