Recently, the ceremony of awarding the "July 1st Medal" was solemnly held in the Great Hall of the People.
Among the 29 nominated candidates, the familiar "Jiang Taigong" Lan Tianye was selected as the only inductee in the theater industry.
When looking at the kind face on the screen, Pigo's thoughts instantly returned to 31 years ago.
In 1990, the 36-episode mythological drama "Fengshen List" co-filmed by Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland was broadcast on television stations across the country, and it was after 80s children like Pi Ge who watched this classic mythological drama to get to know the old man in the blue sky.
This "List of Fengshen Gods" has a very strong lineup, and the story is very complete, in that era of lack of cultural life, there was a fire, thousands of empty alleys, and it is still a classic mythological drama in the eyes of many people.
The biggest feature of the series is the design of the costume road and the scene,
Bronze ware was still used during the Shang and Zhou dynasties in China, and the costumes of the characters should be relatively primitive, and there was not even a "pants".
But Pigo estimates that director Guo Xinling should like ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian mythology, and has also seen "Saint Seiya" and "Star Wars".
The architecture and interior decoration in the play are in a mixture of ancient Greek and ancient Egypt.
And the characters in the play also do not wear pants, they all wear cool shorts, and the warriors on the battlefield do not wear helmets, but wear a golden crown, reminiscent of the golden saint seiya.
Moreover, there were many popular group dances in the play, and the actresses were dressed in nearly transparent silk and danced a magical awkward dance, which made people blush.
Many people couldn't understand the design of these costumes at that time, which became the most interesting part of the play.
"Fengshen Yanyi" created a long novel for Xu Zhonglin in the Ming Dynasty, although the background of the story predates the Journey to the West, it came out later than the Journey to the West, and the artistic value is much worse than that of Journey to the West.
The plot of the episode "Fengshen Yanyi" has a great adaptation of the original novel, mainly because it is impossible to restore the scene in the original work because of the shooting technology at that time.
However, the main story framework of this drama is still very faithful to the original work, and most of the classic plots have been retained, which has become the most complete story and the most restored version of the "Fengshen Yanyi" adaptation TV series so far.
In terms of performance, this drama is not as cult and bloody as the 1989 version, and it is more acceptable to the audience at the time.
Blue Sky Wild, Daqi, Fu Yiwei, Tang Zhenzong... The gathering of actors from both sides of the strait and the three places is also one of the most attractive places of this drama.
Although they had to wear those "avant-garde" costumes, they still completed the filming of the series with dedication.
It can be seen that the actors at that time had a simple and serious professionalism, which is also the real reason for the success of the series.
It has been 31 years since the broadcast of "Fengshen List", and the actors in the play have different encounters, some of whom have left the show business circle.
How their current situation is, Pigo will take everyone to track down their recent situation.
1. Blue Sky Wild (Jiang Ziya)
Blue Sky Wild Old Master, formerly known as Wang Runsen, "Blue Sky Wild" is actually a stage name.
Born in 1927, Lan Tianye was 62 years old when he starred in this drama, just like Jiang Taigong in the play.
In 1945, at the age of 18, Lan Tianye joined the revolutionary work under the influence of his third sister Shi Mei, and joined the party on September 23 of the same year, because of the needs of the revolution, he quickly embarked on the road of drama.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lan Tianye entered the Beijing People's Art Theater in 1952 as a director and actor, beginning a career spanning more than 70 years.
After participating in the "List of Fengshen Gods", the drama path of Blue Sky Wild is also wider, and it has also been active in the film and television circle for more than ten years. Last year, Beijing Renyi launched a 15-episode documentary" called "Blue Sky Wild", showing the life of the 94-year-old man.
On June 12, 2020, in the celebration performance of the 68th anniversary of the establishment of the Beijing People's Art Theater, Lan Tianye took the stage at the age of 93 and performed a clip of the classic beijing renyi play "Cai Wenji".
After spanning half a century, he played the role of Dong Qi in the play again, and the blue sky and wild were still at ease, in one breath, and the spirit was strong, obviously the sword was not old.
In the performance of the classic beijing renyi classic drama "Home" on October 2, Blue Sky Wild joined hands with the four generations of actors of renyi, young and old, and took the stage again in the applause and applause of the audience, and performed 11 3-and-a-half-hour plays on the drama stage at the age of 93, which can be described as a miracle performed by old artists.
On the stage, Blue Sky Wild is a dedicated, meticulous performance artist;
In life, he is also an amiable old man.
He has a cat and a dog in his home, accompanied by countless beloved calligraphy and paintings, books and strange stones, and every day he takes time to send a circle of friends, saying that he will send 100 photos called "Beijing Renyi Photo Exhibition and Me".
Like such an old man with both virtue and art, his whole body exudes positive energy that is inspiring.
It is precisely because of this spiritual strength that Blue Sky Wild can be awarded the "July 1st Medal" by the party and the state.
2. Daqi (King of Lu)
Whether it is recorded in the history books or described in the novel, the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, King Huan, is described as a powerful macho man, so it is necessary to find a tall, powerful, and powerful actor to play.
In the 1989 version, the bodybuilder Zhang Xucheng was played by bodybuilder Zhang Xucheng, and in this drama, it was also found that Daqi, who also had a muscle, played.
Daqi, whose original name was Qi Fujun, is also a drama actor, he debuted in 1957, and before starring in this drama, he also acted in films such as "Border Village Beacon", "Independent Brigade" and "Jingpo Girl".
In 1969, during that special period, he was sent to the countryside of Shulan County, Jilin Province, and did not return to the Great Wall Film Studio until 1972.
Dutch is equally versatile, acting as a producer and director while acting in films, directing the TV series "Bridge Run" and the film "Stubborn Woman".
The drama "Fengshen List" had the greatest impact on him and really made him famous, but this is also his screen singing.
Shortly after starring in the show, Dutch emigrated to Australia and now lives in Sydney.
Daqi later became vice president of the Oceania Federation of Literature and Literature, most recently at the 13th Miss Global Cities Selection Contest in 2018, where he presented awards to the winners as a guest of honor.
3. Fu Yiwei (Su Daji)
Fu Yiwei, a Hui ethnic group born in Harbin, was discovered by director He Keren in 1978 and officially debuted in the movie "She Came from the Fog".
From the 70s to the 80s, Fu Yiwei participated in many good movies, playing Tan Yuling in "The Last Empress", and Pi Ge also introduced this movie before, and her appearance was extremely stunning and impressive.
In the late 1980s, Fu Yiwei began to participate in TV dramas, and Su Daji in this drama was definitely one of her landmark roles.
Su Daji was originally the daughter of Su Hu, and after being possessed by the nine-tailed fox essence, her temperament changed greatly, her methods were extremely cruel, and her body was permeated with fox charm, which made teenagers like Pigo hate her and grit their teeth.
There have been reports that Fu Yiwei's acting career has been greatly affected by this role, and people at that time were relatively simple, and the hatred of a role would affect the actor himself. Fortunately, she later created more distinctive roles, which also made the audience gradually admire her acting skills.
Fu Yiwei has experienced two failed marriages, two ex-husbands are actor Yang Xiaodan and Beijing Dance Academy teacher Gao Gao, and Gao Gao has a son named Gao Lenan, but she is currently single.
In 2016, she was arrested for drug use, became a bad artist, and after her release, she has faded out of the film and television circle...
4. Zhang Xiaolin (Ji Fa)
The male number one in the play, Zhou Wu Wang Jifa, is played by Zhang Xiaolin.
Zhang Xiaolin, a former member of the Shanghai 110-meter hurdles, had to retire in 1979 after an accidental injury. He made his debut in the movie "Awakening" in 1981, and also participated in many good movies in the 80s, and this drama was his first work to turn to the development of television dramas.
As an enlightened king, Ji Fa has always been portrayed as an image of a wise and divine warrior, and Zhang Xiaolin's image is somewhat immature, but because he is very handsome, he still impresses the audience deeply.
After this drama, Zhang Xiaolin's output gradually decreased, and he has become the deputy head of the film troupe in recent years, focusing on the work of the troupe and never participating in film and television works again.
5. Tang Zhenzong (Boyikao)
Tang Zhenzong, the brother of TVB Wuhu Tang Zhenye, only plays soy sauce in the play, playing Bo Yikao, the eldest son of King Wen Jichang.
His appearance is amazing, and his handsome appearance makes Su Daji also moved. However, after Su Daji failed to seduce Bo Yikao, she moved to kill him, and she instigated the King of Qiu to kill Bo Yikao and make meatballs and give them to her father Ji Chang to eat to test his loyalty.
Ji Chang endured great grief and ate the meatballs, and when he returned, he rectified the soldiers and horses and launched a mutiny.
This plot is also a childhood shadow of many children, and everyone sympathizes with Bo Yikao's suffering and hates Su Daji even more. Later, Bo Yikao was named the Ziwei Emperor when he was canonized, which was also a comfort for him!
Tang Zhenzong joined TVB because of his younger brother Tang Zhenye's connections, and he debuted as early as 1982.
In the same year as his guest appearance in "Fengshen List", he participated in the classic Taiwanese Jin Yong martial arts drama "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", in which he played the hated villain Tian Guinong, which is a very classic role in his acting career.
The two brothers Tang Zhenzong and Tang Zhenye are still active in the show business circle, tang Zhenye is keen on online movies, and Tang Zhenzong is still fond of TV drama performances.
The most recent TV series is 2018's "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau", in which he played the role of Ji Yunfu, and in the future he will also play a lamp master in the new version of "Eagle Hero".
6. He Wei (Nezha)
He Wei, who had a prominent performance in "Sixteen-year-old Flower Season", was selected by the crew to play the popular role of Nezha.
"Sixteen-year-old Flower Season" is a beautiful youth memory of the post-70s generation, and it was also a sensational drama. He Wei played yuan ye, a high school student, in the play, with a sunny and handsome image, fascinated by thousands of girls.
However, the Nezha played in this drama is more rustic, and it does not feel like Nezha, but more like saint seiya.
Comparing Nezha in CCTV's "Journey to the West" can see the gap even more, but He Wei still seriously interprets this role.
In recent years, He Wei has also withdrawn from the show business circle, he opened a clothing factory, the business is very good, it is estimated that he does not want to come out to act again.
7. Yu Huadong (Tuxingsun)
In the original work, there is a short character named Tu Xingsun, who is less than 1.3 meters tall In the play, Yu Huadong, who is less than 1.3 meters tall, has been awarded the titles of "The First Dwarf Star in the Far East" and "China's Most Famous Dwarf Star" for starring in the "List of Fengshen Gods". This drama made Yu Huadong once have unlimited scenery, he not only married a wife, but also gave birth to a son.
But later, as the heat faded, Yu Huadong also quickly left the show business circle, and his income was not stable since then...
8. The four old drama bones have passed away
The actor who plays Shen Gongbao, Lei Changxiyuan, is a language teacher at the Shanghai Theater Academy and a well-known voice actor, who played Optimus Prime in "Transformers" and Captain Grover in "Battlestar Galactica", which we loved as a child.
He died of illness shortly after his performance in "List of Gods", so we did not see him again.
Wei Qiming, the actor who plays Zhou Wenwang, is the head of the shanghai People's Art Theater actor troupe, and in addition to this play, the most classic image he has created is Chen Yi in the movie "Mayor Chen Yi".
It is worth mentioning that Wei Qiming is also the uncle of "Little Swallow" Zhao Wei, who died on November 11, 2000, at the age of 74.
The actor Who plays Shang Rong, Qiao Qi, is the former director of the Shanghai People's Art Theatre, and has starred in classic movies such as "Dead Light on coral island", "Midnight", "Wind and Waves", "Distressed Laughter" and so on.
He died on 29 June 2007 at the age of 86.
Shi Zhengquan, the actor who plays Master Wen Zhongtai, is a "Zheng" opera actor.
He played Li Yongqi in the Peking Opera "Wise Tiger Mountain" and Zhang Fei in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but he has only participated in two TV series, in addition to "Fengshen List", he also played Qin Juniper in "Jigong".
Shi Zhengquan died on June 14, 1996, at the age of 70.
Time flies, the years are not spared, we are all getting old, and around this show, in addition to these classic characters, there are countless interesting things.
For example, its theme song is composed by Liu Nianli and Ma Youdao, and "The Legend of God" written by Zhang Minghe is sung by Tan Yonglin and Mao Amin, two big names in the music world. But they did not sing a chorus, but each recorded a version, the odd episode was sung by Tan Yonglin, and the even episode was sung by Mao Amin.
This song also spread all over the country at that time, and when Pigo still hears the song, he still remembers the memories of watching the "Fengshen List".
In the 1990s, each household could only receive two or three TV stations, and we had limited choices about what kind of drama we could see.
Fortunately, the TV series production at that time was very conscientious, and now these are rare classics.
