Performing artist Yan Shunkai died of illness at the age of 80

Yan Shunkai is enthusiastic, humble, and extremely serious about acting, and his death has attracted many people in the entertainment industry to post articles to commemorate him.

On the morning of October 16, Yan Shunkai, a famous performing artist and actor of the Shanghai Burlesque Troupe, died of illness in Shanghai at the age of 80. Ling Meifang, head of the Shanghai Burlesque Troupe, said in an interview with the Beijing News that the troupe is currently arranging to deal with related matters. Yan Shunkai was bedridden for many years due to a stroke, and he starred in the movie "A Q Zheng biography", the sketch "Zhang Sanqiren" and "Love Father Like Loving Son" and other films that were deeply loved by the audience. Yesterday afternoon, a reporter from the Beijing News contacted the screenwriters and actors who had cooperated with Yan Shunkai, and they deeply remembered the old artist.

Later life is not unattainable

Jiang Ping, a national-level director who has known Yan Shunkai for more than 30 years, recalled Yan Shunkai's later life, and he told the Beijing News reporter that Yan Shunkai has been hospitalized for several years, and it is not very clear about the things that broke out on the Internet that Yan Shunkai was neglected to take care of in his later years, but he knows that not no one cares about Yan Shunkai, "The Shanghai Burlesque Troupe still has people who care about him, and before and after his birthday last year, many people went to see him, such as me and Cao Kefan. He himself is not unable to take care of his own life, or sometimes because of cerebral infarction, he will be more confused and not speak particularly clearly. The hospital environment is still relatively clean, and his wife is also with him, and I think he is still happy in his old age. Being sick for him, I think, is an ordeal. Cerebral infarction, heart attack, for such a lively and active person, it is really a kind of torture, and walking away may also be a relief. ”

Jiang Ping once went to the hospital to visit Yan Shunkai. Yan Shunkai saw Jiang Ping, took his hand and smiled sheepishly, he had been identifying who he really was, it seemed that he felt that the person in front of him was very familiar with himself, but he still didn't recognize it, just kept nodding and laughing at Jiang Ping. But when Jiang Ping was leaving, Yan Shunkai suddenly stopped him in Shanghainese, "Gang (Jiang) Ping, Little Chi Lao...", at that moment, Jiang Ping was very moved.

Professionalism Never steal the scene, never pronounce the wrong words

Jiang Ping recalled that Yan Shunkai was extremely serious in doing things, in addition to filming, he also had more important work to arrange stage plays, he was particularly serious, never said the wrong words, did not cause trouble. Even if he is familiar with the play, he never steals other people's plays, he said, "Stealing the scene is extremely immoral." ”

Yan Shunkai never played a big card in the crew, even if he won international awards, everyone he met on the scene was very polite and nodded. But what Yan Shunkai hates most is people who don't act seriously, and those who don't memorize lines, carry seven or eight assistants, and call others as stand-ins for everything are scornful, no matter how big the other party is, how big a star and how big a fancy he will not pay attention. "At that time, he had become famous for filming "A Q Zheng Biography", I was still a small actor, still running the dragon set, he told me, 'Running the dragon set is no problem, I am born in the dragon set, as long as I am serious, running for a lifetime is fine, and finally I have to run happily.'" ”

In Jiang Ping's heart, Yan Shunkai is a very beautiful person, enthusiastic, generous, and particularly cheerful. Later, when Yan Shunkai was working in Shanghai, there were some public welfare activities that always asked him for help, but there was no remuneration, but he was happy to do so, "No money is good, I don't have to go if I have money, I am afraid that others think it is for money (only to go)." After saying that, he also laughed and joked that there were hairy crabs to eat. In fact, when he really got the hairy crab, he shook his hand and didn't eat it, "Eating the hairy crab is just a joke he made, he is particularly warm-hearted and selfless." ”

Witty, humorous and loving

Zhang Kaili was very sad after learning this news, and conveyed her respect for Mr. Yan to the Beijing News reporter, "I was shocked to hear that the beloved teacher Yan Shunkai passed away, so sad. Remembering the 1999 spring festival gala sketch "Love Father Like Love Son", Teacher Yan really loves us like a father and loves everyone. In the plot, he is an old naughty boy, and his life is full of wit and humor. Dear Teacher Yan, rest in peace, eternity! In addition, Zhang Kaili also revealed that in recent years, she has not had the opportunity to meet teacher Yan again. Many years ago, teacher Yan held a personal commemorative party that she also missed due to a time crash, but she did not expect to leave regrets.

Li Xiaolu, who had cooperated with Yan Shunkai in "My Naughty Angel", recalled to the Beijing News reporter yesterday: "Fifteen years ago, I cooperated with Teacher Yan, and in my impression, Teacher Yan is a good actor who is dedicated, and I hope he will go all the way." ”
