<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="75" > Shi Jianlan played the female number one "Feng Qinglan": after the red fell silent</h1>
Shi Jianlan was born in 1946 in Yueqing, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and after graduating from middle school, he was admitted to the Yueqing County Yue Opera Troupe.
Young Shi Jianlan
In 1978, Shi Jianlan was admitted to the Cultural and Labor Corps of the Political Department of the Science and Technology Commission for National Defense and became a military actor. The following year, Xie Jin filmed the film "Ah! Cradle", ready to enable Shi Jianlan. When the crew went to the troupe to discuss, the cultural troupe was rehearsing a drama and did not let Shi Jianlan go out to shoot the drama.
The two sides were deadlocked for more than a month, and finally with the help of General Zhang Aiping, the cultural and labor troupe agreed to let Shi Jianlan go out to shoot a scene. Who knew that shortly after the start of filming, Shi Jianlan accidentally fell off his horse, causing serious brain contusions and lacerations and falling into a coma.
So the crew urgently sent Shi Jianlan to Shanghai for treatment. A large group of people in the crew could not afford to wait, and Xie Jin had to find another way to let Zhu Xijuan play the heroine for Shi Jianlan.
After recovering from her injuries, Shi Jianlan returned to the crew, and Director Xie arranged for her to play Brigadier Xiao's bride, with only one scene.

In 1980, Xie Jin prepared to shoot "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", and cooperated with Shi Jianlan for the second time, this time she played the female number one "Feng Qinglan". Xie Jin's requirements for Shi Jianlan were quite high, and every line and every action was repeatedly cut. There are some props in the play, and he also asks Shi Jianlan to think about how to fit in with the identity of the character.
When filming the scene when Feng Qinglan was dying, the crew made four or five pairs of glasses, and after Shi Jianlan consulted with the director, he smoked the glasses frame with candles and then wrapped them with cloth strips, and the sense of the times came out at once.
Shi Jianlan's Portrayal of Feng Qinglan is kind, gentle, stoic and strong, and this classic role has been recorded in the annals of Chinese cinema.
After the release of "Legend of Tianyun Mountain", Shi Jianlan received a piece of praise. The famous Dutch artist Evans gave high praise to Shi Jianlan's performance, and Shi Jianlan also became one of the most popular actresses in the 1980s.

"The Legend of Tianyun Mountain" made Shi Weijian a household star in the 1980s, and the film also became his masterpiece.
Born in 1935 in rural Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, Shi Weijian is 1.76 meters tall and was an eye-catching handsome man when he was young. He served as the director of the China Youth Arts Theatre, was a national first-class actor, and won the Special Honor Award of the 17th Academy of Film Performing Arts Awards.

After graduation, Shi Weijian was left in Shanghai as an actor. At that time, he was paid 42.5 yuan a month, but insisted on giving 20 yuan a month to his father to subsidize the family.

20 years later, Song Wei learned the truth of the matter and fell into a painful entanglement.

Wang Xiao was very competitive, did not use the aura of his parents, but struggled on his own and grew into an excellent young actor.

In "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", Wu Yao is the deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee and the husband of Song Wei. He is narrow-minded and rigid, has a serious machismo mentality, demands absolute obedience from subordinates in the unit, and has the final say at home.
He does not like people who think independently, does not listen to different opinions, and is a person with a strong desire for power.
In fact, Xie Jin began to worry about Zhongxinghuo playing "Wu Yao": first, he and Wang Fuli were more than 20 years apart in age, which was not good for playing; second, Xie Jin was worried that "Wu Yao" would have the shadow of "Xiwang" in "Li Shuangshuang". As a result, it turned out that Zhong Xinghuo used his superb acting skills to make Xie Jin's two worries redundant.
