Li Lan is a very good actor, who has participated in classic works such as "Iron Armor 008", "New Soldier Ma Qiang", "The Abandoned Man", "Kyoto Chronicle", "Military Wives", "Single Parent House", "Love at the Rising Tide", "Garland Under the Mountain" and other classic works.
The role of the female number one "Han Suyun" she played in the TV series "Garland Under the Mountain" was not only loved and recognized by the audience because of her brilliant portrayal, but also won the 2nd Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress!
What many people don't know is that although Li Lan was a smash hit when she was young, she was also stolen by an actress, and even missed an opportunity to play the heroine because the other party missed an opportunity, this actress is Liu Xiaoqing.
Later, she finally developed her career and became a powerful and popular actor familiar and recognized by the public, but she retired during the popular period and faded out of the public's sight.
One
Born in 1956, Li Lan is a native of Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, and she grew up in a military family in Harbin.
Her family style is strict, and under the discipline of her parents, Li Lan learned to be independent from an early age, and developed a character who is not afraid of hardships and difficulties, which provided great help for her later development in the entertainment industry.
Li Lan, who has been good at singing and dancing since she was a child, showed her artistic talent at a very young age, and her parents did not stop her, but tried their best to cultivate her.
At the age of 15, with the support of her parents, Li Lan was admitted to the Harbin Repertory Theatre in her hometown and became a student of the Repertory Troupe.
In order to stay in the repertory troupe and develop, Li Lan worked very hard at that time, conscientiously studied various performance skills, and humbly learned from his predecessors, laying a very solid foundation.
Thanks to Li Lan's efforts, she finally got the opportunity to stay at the Harbin Repertory Theatre and become a professional actor, but she didn't stay here for long.
In 1973, Bayi Film Studio held an actor training class in order to recruit young outstanding actors.
In the process of recruiting students, Wang Xingang watched the drama in which Li Lan participated, and he was deeply attracted by Li Lan's performance, and felt that she was a very talented actor and was very optimistic about her, so he handed her an olive branch.
Li Lan naturally did not refuse to be able to enter the Bayi Factory for development, and she agreed without hesitation.
In 1973, Li Lan, who was favored by Wang Xingang, was officially transferred to the Bayi Factory Actors Troupe and became an actor in Bayi Factory.
According to Li Lan's expectations, she will start as a newcomer after entering Bayi Factory, and slowly gain a firm foothold in Bayi Factory after continuous efforts, but she soon ushered in an opportunity.
Two
In 1973, not long after Li Lan entered Bayi Factory, she just caught up with Bayi Factory preparing to shoot the film "The Great Wall of the South China Sea".
The film "The Great Wall of the South China Sea" was directed by Li Jun and Hao Guang, and the actor was set for the first time, and it was Wang Xingang who recruited Li Lan into Bayi Factory.
Wang Xingang has always been very optimistic about Li Lan, in order to promote her, when the crew was still struggling with the selection of the heroine, Wang Xingang recommended Li Lan for the first time, and Li Lan did not disappoint Wang Xingang, with a solid performance foundation and outstanding appearance conditions, she finally successfully stood out from many competitors and became the female number one candidate.
It's a pity that when Li Lan mistakenly thought that she was already the ironclad female number one candidate, she suddenly killed a "Cheng Biting Jin" halfway, and this person was Liu Xiaoqing.
This year, Liu Xiaoqing also entered Bayi Factory, and when Li Lan was running for the female number one in "The Great Wall of the South China Sea", Liu Xiaoqing was running for the female number one in another movie "Sea Eagle", but unfortunately he died in vain.
Seeing that she lost the opportunity to become the female number one of "Sea Eagle", Liu Xiaoqing felt very anxious, at this time, the actor Daniel Zhang, who was very fond of her, introduced her to the crew of "The Great Wall of the South China Sea", so she competed with Li Lan for the opportunity to be the female number one in the film.
When they were young, the two of them were both goddesses with outstanding appearance conditions, and their acting skills were also remarkable, but the director was very entangled in the decision, and finally decided to let everyone in the crew decide together.
In order to get the opportunity to be the female number one, Liu Xiaoqing gave full play to her sociable skills, and quickly got acquainted with the crew, but Li Lan, who has a quiet personality, did not have much intersection with the crew, and finally the crew chose Liu Xiaoqing, and Li Lan missed the opportunity to be the female number one.
However, although she failed to become the female number one in the film "The Great Wall of the South China Sea", Li Lan later participated in the film and played a supporting role for Liu Xiaoqing, and Liu Xiaoqing stole the limelight, which is really embarrassing.
Although the development of Bayi Factory was not very smooth, Li Lan did not lose her love for performance, on the contrary, she worked more and more hard to find opportunities for development.
Three
In 1976, the third year of entering Bayi Factory, in order to go further on the road of acting and achieve higher achievements, Li Lan was admitted to the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy and returned to the campus for further study.
During this period, she almost put all her mind on studying and constantly improving her performance level, but she did not "die of studying", and she would also participate in the performance when she encountered suitable works.
During his study at Nortel, Li Lan has participated in many films, and some of the characters portrayed in them have left a deep impression on the audience.
For example, "Ruiying" in "Ganshui Boundless", "Bamboo Flower" in "Bamboo", etc., although they are all supporting roles, her performance has been highly praised.
After graduating from university, Li Lan returned to Bayi Factory to develop, and her acting skills have been significantly improved, and she has developed very smoothly in Bayi Factory since then.
She was highly praised by Bayi Factory, and successively participated in works such as "Iron Armor 008", "New Soldier Ma Qiang", "After the Trap", "The Abandoned Man" and so on.
In these works, she played a series of roles with different personalities and different personalities, and many times the contrast between the roles was particularly large, but she mastered the roles very well.
With the help of these works, she not only slowly gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, but also became the head of Bayi Factory, and was one of the very popular factory flowers of Bayi Factory at that time.
In addition to the rapid development of her career, Li Lan also reaped her happiness during this period and got together with her husband outside the circle.
Four
is different from what many people imagine, although Li Lan is an actress and has nothing to say about her appearance and development, her husband is an outsider.
It is understood that her husband is a soldier, and the two fell in love at first sight, and fell in love soon after they met, and did not affect each other's feelings because of material and external factors.
After Li Lan's career stabilized, she and her husband outside the circle entered the palace of marriage, gave birth to their children after marriage, and formed a happy small family.
Unlike those actresses who retired after marriage, Li Lan did not give up her career immediately after marriage, but continued to be active in the entertainment industry, and participated in many word-of-mouth masterpieces one after another.
Since 1984, Li Lan has successively participated in works such as "The Girl in Red", "The Girl is Twenty-Eight This Year", "The Young Grandmother of the Zhang Family", "The Spy War Has Nothing to Do with the Girl" and other works, all of which received enthusiastic responses after they were launched.
In addition to the development of the film industry, Li Lan has also set foot in the field of TV dramas, participating in classic works such as "Garland Under the Mountain", "War on the Asphalt Road", and "Confucius".
Among them, the role of "Han Yuxiu" she played in the drama "Garland Under the Mountain" made her win the Best Actress of the 2nd Golden Eagle Award, and she was awarded the title!
And with this classic work one after another, Li Lan, who has developed her acting career vigorously, has become a popular actor who was a smash hit in the 80s and is deeply loved by the public.
Five
Since the 90s of the last century, Li Lan, who has been active in the entertainment industry, has participated in many film and television works, and many of the roles portrayed have left a deep impression on the audience.
From "Chu Zhilan" in "Kyoto Chronicle" to "Han Suyun" in "Military Sister-in-law", to "Chen Qinglian" in "Nine-year-old County Master", "Mama" in "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", "Ark" in "Can You Not Leave, It's Best to Leave", "Su Moer" in "The Secret History of the Crown Prince" and so on.
She portrayed these characters with different images very well, and vividly portrayed the image and characteristics of each character, which was well received inside and outside the circle!
After entering the new century, Li Lan faded out of the film industry, no longer made movies, and put all his mind on TV dramas.
At her insistence, she later brought the audience works such as "Moon Shadow Wind Lotus", "The Ballad of the White Egret", "Marriage March", "Inside Line", "Tang Female Patrol", "Looking Back Again" and so on.
It wasn't until 2013, after participating in the drama "New Girlfriend Era" starring Zhang Xinyi, Jiang Xin, Tong Yao and others, that Li Lan stopped her career and chose to retire during the popular period.
As for whether Li Lan is tired of the deceit in the entertainment industry, tired of her busy work state, or wants to leave more time for her family, prompting her to choose to retire, the real reason is only known to her.
And no matter what the reason, she disappeared from the screen with superb acting skills, which can really be said to be a very big loss for the entertainment industry and the audience.
Six
After retiring from the entertainment industry, Li Lan regained her identity as an ordinary person, rarely appeared in front of the media and the public again, and rarely attracted attention because of things in life.
Over the years, she has been living her life in a low-key manner, and with the passage of time, she has now completely let go of the star halo on her body and has lived as an ordinary person.
I have to say that as an actor who was once a smash hit, whether it is Li Lan's acting skills or the works she brought to the audience, there is no doubt that she is definitely a good actor worthy of the audience's love and recognition.
And during the popular period, she was able to choose to retire according to her own ideas and give up her career that had been developed for many years, which is even more admirable!
While developing her career, Li Lan has been taking care of life, and although she has been married to her husband for decades, their relationship has been maintained very well under their careful management.
Under the joint care and nurturing of the husband and wife, their children have long grown up and are very filial to them.
Now her children have their own lives, no longer need her to worry about it, and she is living a retired life with peace of mind.
In 2024, Li Lan will be 68 years old, and she has been retired for many years, and now she is living her life in a low-key manner.
It is worth mentioning that although she is no longer young, she is still in a very good state, her appearance and temperament are very online, and it can be said that she still has charm.
She has lived a very good life, and now she has nothing to cook for her family at home, occasionally meets three or five friends to get together, and travels in her spare time.
Here, I wish this old actor good health in her later years, a harmonious family, and live life as she wants.
