Preface
is an excellent actor and a red spy, this is Lan Tianye's life.
In the last century, when the nation was rising and falling, patriots from all walks of life threw themselves into the anti-Japanese movement, and many of them took advantage of their existing status at that time to help organize and complete the revolutionary movement in the face of many dangers.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state awarded medals to these revolutionaries in turn, and at the July 1 Medal awarding ceremony in 2021, 29 medal winners walked up to the stage in high spirits, received the medals awarded to them by the organization, and proudly wore them on their chests.
One of the familiar drama actors has entered everyone's sight, and everyone feels familiar not because they have seen the drama he plays, but because he seems to be the actor of "Jiang Ziya" in the hit drama "Fengshen Bang".
His bookish character vividly interprets the image of Jiang Ziya, and also makes everyone remember his name - Lantian Ye.
In fact, the old gentleman's real name is not Lantian Ye, during the Liberation War, the organization changed his name to Lantian Ye in order to protect him.
What kind of legend does this old gentleman have?
My sister returns home to guide the way forward
Lantian Ye's original name was Wang Runsen, born in 1927 in Raoyang, Hebei Province, in a scholarly family, because of the family's wealth, so that Lantian Ye has lived a carefree life since childhood, and a good educational background has also cultivated Lan Tianye's love for art.
Among them, Lan Tianye's favorite and most talented is painting, at a young age, his paintings have received a lot of praise, after graduating from middle school, Lan Tianye successfully entered the Beijing Art School to learn Xi oil painting.
Originally, according to Lan Tianye's plan, he was ready to show his strength in the painting world, but he didn't expect the appearance of a person to disrupt all his plans.
In 1945, Lan Tianye's sister Shi Mei returned home, and it has been 6 years since the last time the two met.
Looking at her sister with a look in her eyes, Lan Tianye was very puzzled, what kind of life her sister had experienced over the years that could make her change so much.
As if sensing her brother's doubts, Shi Mei began to tell Lan Tianye about her work in the party organization for so many years, and learned that Shi Mei was an underground party, Lan Tianye was very surprised, but he was more interested in Marxism in his sister's mouth.
When Shi Mei returned home, Lan Tianye pestered her every day, listening to her stories about the revolution, and after listening to her more, Lan Tianye was very yearning for the new world described by her sister, and the idea of joining the revolution was even stronger.
Shi Mei felt her brother's mood, and she really needed a little helper by her side, so Shi Mei handed over some less important tasks to Lan Tianye, looking at his active completion of the task, Shi Mei was happy and scared in her heart.
At this time, Lan Tianye was not as worried as Shi Mei, and he was proud to be able to help the Communist Party complete its tasks.
At that time, the Chinese people were not only invaded by the Japanese army, but also oppressed by the corruption of the national government, all of which made Lan Tianye extremely worried.
And Shi Mei's appearance is like a lighthouse, illuminating his confused path and guiding him in a new direction.
For the victory of the revolution, Lan Tianye decided to do something!
Establish a drama club to gather important information
As Lan Tianye helped Shi Mei do more and more, Shi Mei slowly gave him some important tasks, at that time, the main job of the underground party was to deliver news, but it was easy to attract the attention of the enemy if it was passed on rashly.
Just when Shi Mei was worried about how to pass on the news quietly, Lan Tianye took the initiative to take over this task.
Lan Tianye was just 18 years old that year, and his perennial study of painting made him naturally have a strong bookish anger, and walking on the street would not let anyone notice him.
In addition, Lan Tianye is very clever and can easily solve crises, so Shi Mei handed over some difficult tasks to Lan Tianye to complete.
As expected, Lan Tianye completed these tasks very well and successfully helped the underground party pass on a lot of important information, although Lan Tianye did not join the underground party at this time, but in Shi Mei's heart, he was already a member of the underground party.
After reporting to the superiors, Shi Mei took the initiative to help Lan Tianye submit an application to join the Communist Party, and when Lan Tianye knew about it, he was very shocked.
With Shi Mei's matchmaking, the organization fully recognized Lan Tianye's ability, and it didn't take long for Lan Tianye to successfully join the Communist Party and become a party member, and the burden on Lan Tianye was heavier.
At this time, the organization gave Lan Tianye an important task, that is, to organize the establishment of a drama club, and Lan Tianye was responsible for the formation of this drama club.
This task is extremely challenging for Lantian Ye.
First of all, he learned Xi to paint, and he didn't have any acting foundation at all, so if he rashly established a drama club, would it attract the attention of the enemy.
One of the reasons why Lantian Ye wanted to set up a drama club is that he looks like a peugeot, which is in line with Xiaosheng's appearance, and he is an art student, and the breath on his body is easier to believe.
Another reason is that there were too few entertainment projects at that time, and drama was the favorite pastime of the upper class, and everyone often talked about some things in the process of watching the play, which made it more convenient for Lantian Ye to collect intelligence.
In order to successfully complete the task, Lan Tianye began to learn how to Xi drama in the acting department.
After a period of preparation, the Beiping Drama Club was successfully opened, and the clear and handsome Lantian Field quickly attracted everyone's attention, and more and more people came to see the drama.
Those spies in Beijing who have heads and faces get along very well with Lan Tianye.
With the cover of the identity of an actor, Lan Tianye really obtained a lot of important information, and smoothly conveyed the information to the place where it should go, making an important contribution to the victory of the battle.
But I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, and information is leaked frequently, and many places are strictly controlled.
The drama club led by Lan Tianye has also become a focus of attention, but at this time, the enemy sent an eyeliner to the drama club to monitor the actors inside.
Lan Tianye had already received the task at this time, which was to let all the actors evacuate as soon as possible.
With this eyeliner, how to complete the task has become the biggest problem, but fortunately, the other party is suspicious of the actors of the drama club, but there is no defense against Lantian Ye.
Lan Tianye took advantage of his position, often asked them to eat, drink and have fun, and the relationship was very good, and finally Lan Tianye decided to take a risk, and on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he made an excuse with eyeliner to come to the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.
After the eyeliner agreed, Lan Tianye arranged all the people out of the drama club that night, and he himself left with everyone.
When he left and boarded the ship, the organization leader asked him to change his name and surname, otherwise he would inevitably be retaliated against by the Kuomintang, so he named himself Lan Tianye, and continued to serve the party and the people as Lan Tianye from then on.
After the founding of New China, what did he do?
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the cause of art was promoted
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the revitalization of traditional Chinese art became a top priority.
In order to better publicize and promote traditional arts, the state decided to establish the Beijing People's Art Theater, and Lantian Ye was one of the actors.
After the establishment of the theater, the first shot became the most important thing, because the first play can attract more people to watch.
At that time, it was discussed for a long time, and Lao She's "Teahouse" was selected for the first play, but this play is different from other plays and belongs to a relatively new theme.
In order to make art closer to the lives of the people, Lantian Ye began to inspect the teahouses in the city with the leading actors, from the owner of the teahouse, to the running hall, to the audience, everyone's demeanor and movements, the actors observed very carefully.
Even in order to restore the scene of the teahouse in the late Qing Dynasty, they also found some old people and made detailed interviews with the current situation and social conditions at that time.
After a thorough understanding of these elements, these elements will be integrated into the play, and the whole play will be presented to everyone.
Sure enough, after the official performance, everyone received rave reviews for the play, and the scenes portrayed by the actors made them feel as if they had returned to the past, and at the same time cherished their hard-won happy life even more.
Compared with some small fresh meat today, filming is not bitter at all, Lan Tianye can be said to have suffered all kinds of hardships in order to film at that time, even if his finger was fractured, in order not to affect the progress, he still insisted on coming to the troupe with illness.
In 1989, Lan Tianye had been retired for two years, but he just couldn't be idle, he still acted in the theater, and it was also this year that Lan Tianye performed a vivid Jiang Ziya.
At that time, the director of "Fengshen Bang" found Lan Tianye and wanted to invite him to play Jiang Ziya.
After reading the script, Lan Tianye felt very dissatisfied, because in his opinion, the script was too avant-garde and did not meet the level that the public could accept at that time.
In order to persuade Lan Tianye, the director found a screenwriter and revised the script with Lan Tianye over and over again, Lan Tianye was moved by the director's sincerity, and finally agreed to play the role of Jiang Ziya.
Since he decided to perform Jiang Ziya, Lan Tianye first studied the history of Taoism, and then went to the Taoist temple to ask the Taoist elders about the relevant rules and movements.
I have to say that the director's vision is excellent, when Lan Tianye appeared in Jiang Ziya's clothes, everyone felt that Jiang Ziya seemed to have come out of a painting book.
In the process of the next rehearsal, everyone was once again impressed by Lan Tianye's superb acting skills.
On the day of the launch of "Fengshen Bang", everyone was attracted by the wonderful plot and the vivid performances of the actors, and the discussion continued.
Lantian Ye has created many classic roles, and has also cultivated many rising stars for the Chinese performance industry, among which the most well-known actors are Song Dandan, Pu Cunxin, Lin Liankun and so on.
In 2011, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Lantian Ye also starred in the drama "Home", which truly interpreted today's prosperous era, which is the result of the joint efforts of every revolutionary, and it is also a witness.
In 2015, Lan Tianye won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the International Theatre Academy Awards.
On June 8, 2022, the veteran revolutionary and artist passed away in Beijing at the age of 95.
epilogue
For example, the old man Lantian Ye has left us, but his revolutionary spirit and professionalism have remained in the hearts of each of us.
He joined the Communist Party for the sake of revolutionary beliefs, became a drama actor by mistake in order to complete his tasks, lurked around the most dangerous group of people for the success of the revolutionary cause, and faced various temptations at the same time.
But the original intention of the old man Lantian Ye has never changed, and serving the party and the people is his lifelong wish.
