When it comes to the artist Lan Zhenglong, most people's reaction is: "Oh, I know, that very handsome actor!" ”
Lan Zhenglong, who is forty years old this year, was the prodigal son of his friend Lan Xinmei before marriage, who said that "his girlfriend did not know how many to change".
After getting married, he is the best playmate for his four-year-old daughter Xiao Basketball and three-year-old son Lan Xiaodi. Even though there is often a murmur of "singing down" his marital status, he knows in his heart that when he takes off his costume, his wish is extremely simple, that is, to return to the house with his wife and children, have dinner together, and make up for his lonely childhood.
Lan Zhenglong and the actor's wife Zhou Youting after becoming parents, very courageous decision "do not find a mother, take their own children", Lan Zhenglong deliberately reduced the workload, in the show business circle that is afraid of being forgotten, such a decision, with a calm and composure, that is self-confidence in themselves.
On the other hand, he sincerely thanked his wife who stopped working and took care of his children full-time, and even shouted to his daughter that it doesn't matter if he ignores his father in the future, he must be filial to his mother.
At home, he used a pure childlike heart to get along with his children, participated in the games of the sisters and brothers, he believed that the intimate relationship cultivated from childhood was more important than what profound truth, and he did not want the child to grow up to get along with his father only "nothing to say".
At the beginning of 2000, He tried to participate in the performance of "Little Doctor of the Big Hospital", Lan Zhenglong has received attention in the show business circle since then, and has always given people the impression of "appearance responsibility", until 2008, "Lord Pollis" played the role of policeman Liu Hanqiang, realistically portraying the struggle and helplessness of the police, was recognized as the biggest pearl of the Golden Bell Award that year, handed over the masterpiece Acting Skills was affirmed, and finally won the Admiralty Emperor with the male protagonist of the TV series "Sister" in 2015.
When Lan Zhenglong won the award, he quoted Liu Hanqiang's line from "Lord Polyris": "The great truth in the world is like a rainbow, it is all across the sky, colorful, in fact, you touch, it is empty, but the empty does not mean that it does not exist, but the dream needs to be practiced hard, and when you have done it, at a certain moment, under the light of a certain temperature, the beautiful light will appear." ”
Indeed, in Lan Zhenglong's heart, there has always been a rainbow that Dao wants to complete.
The performance of "Lord Pollis" became friends with the Tang actor Wang Zi Ang, who played the role of "Big Sweet Potato" in the play, Wang Zi Ang is a special Olympic swimmer, and Lan Zhenglong will also come to the scene to cheer him up during the sunrise race, and the dream of filming for Tang Shi'er sprouted in his heart.
He said that he was touched by the innocent power of Tang Shi'er, this touch is not perfunctory at all, Lan Zhenglong has continued to care for Tang Shi'er for ten years, and his figure is often seen in the activities of the Xi'er Foundation.
This year, Lan Zhenglong finally created a rainbow, with Tang Shi'er as the protagonist, self-directed and self-acted in the movie "Silly Love You, Silly Love Me".
For example, the film was not shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards this year, and the male protagonist of Tang'er, Cai Jiahong (Leo), comforted him in a midnight summons, "I was put in the heart of Leo, because I knew he went to bed very early." "It's like a thoughtful gift from a close friend, so that he can immediately shake off his melancholy mood."
Whether it is a long-term concern for the issue of Down syndrome, a sincere friendship with Tang's children, or abandoning the position of father's authority and squatting down to get along with his children at the same height, even in the noisy show business circle, Lan Zhenglong still has the purest original heart.
The following is the essence of the interview with Lan Zhenglong in "Parent-Child World":
<h1>Now that he is the father of two children, does this identity have an impact on his acting work? </h1>
There must be.
Like Leo, the protagonist of the movie "Silly Love You, Silly Love Me", when he first asked him to act, Leo's mother said to me: "Director, if I hadn't known you before, I would have thought it was a fraud syndicate." "The implication is that my son is Tang Shi'er, are you sure you want to find him to act in a movie?"
In the process of the pre-film operation on the script and rehearsal, Leo's mother kept herself out of the matter and stood far away, and when Leo finally finished, I noticed leo's mother hiding in the corner alone and crying.
Before I couldn't understand, now I can understand the heart of parents, that is, to expect the child's performance to be excellent, but afraid of congenital restrictions to make him do not do well, very contradictory mentality.
I said to Leo's mom, "You have to proudly tell everyone that my son is the male lead in the movie, because he really plays a good role!" "I hope that everyone can also understand that through simple encouragement, Tang Shi'er has the opportunity to play to their potential, and this force can touch many families."
Before filming, I interviewed many Down syndrome children, I saw the whole family behind the child, the pressure on each family, the eyes of the outside world, if I had a Down disease brother like the movie plot, how would I treat myself? Only to find that this problem is so huge, it is definitely not only to take care of the children with Down disease "itself" can be solved, but also the film wants to convey, the Down disease family needs social understanding.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival, Lan Zhenglong and his daughter "erected eggs" on the ground, and his wife Zhou Youting captured the cute homely appearance of the father and daughter.
<h1>When it comes to the family, I don't want to miss the growth of my children in recent years and deliberately reduce my workload, what kind of father do you think you are? </h1>
I should be a "PE teacher" style, that is, to play with it!
Every day, they will do things that make you cry and laugh, and they can't finish talking, and I think it's easier to go out and work.
For example, our family left a large special painting wall for two children, and then came home to see that my daughter and son were painted on other walls that could not be washed off, and I was angry and helpless at the moment, but was it useful to scold? So I took a black pen and drew a frame of the "masterpiece" of the sisters and brothers, asked them to sign, and said, "Okay, this wall has your works, and you can only paint on the painting wall in the future, you know?" "Strange to say, they haven't scribbled anymore."
Another time they were suddenly quiet, and I came back to find that my daughter took a colored pen to help her brother put on makeup, and my son turned into a big flower face!
After a few seconds of shock, I suddenly wanted to ask my daughter, "Why is my brother's eyebrows painted blue?" She said, "Because it's a boy!" "I think it's all ridiculous and funny, so let's play thoroughly and wash our faces!" So I took a pen and helped them draw their beards (laughs), and my wife came back screaming in fright.
In the past, my parents were busy working and didn't have time to get along with children, I didn't want to miss the time with children, that is, "No Pain, No Gain" (no pain, no gain), getting along with children is a very mysterious process, they have been so small, and now they will follow you to help suck the floor and wash dishes; after working for several days, when they don't come home, when they enter the door, their daughter will lean over and say: "Daddy, I miss you so much." "I just thought it was worth it.
<h1>In the past, it gave people the impression of being handsome and good at acting, and had the feeling of a prodigal son, compared with the current image of warm father, what do you think yourself? </h1>
Those are the impressions of work or others, will not think too much, in reality I have always put "having children" into the life plan, and when I interact with my wife and get married, there is a consensus, I hope that the family we are grouped with is with children, and I also want to bring myself, the children grow up very fast, I don't want to miss these.
As for the image of Dad, well... It should be said that I admire my dad very much and have an example over there.
The family used to have a period of time when the economy was very tight, my father originally did not do the tatami business enough to cope with family expenses, but my sister and I were still in private school, at that time I was sixteen or seventeen years old, my father was not young, for the economy he went to the construction site to tie iron bars, very very hard, but also to bear the mortgage, the interest rate was more than ten, and the usury is no different, to say that if it is really me, I don't know if I can carry it, too bitter.
My concept of family is probably formed like this, my materialism is low, I don't particularly want to buy sports cars, millions of watches, and I don't feel how much money to leave for my children, I hope to give my children the most important concept is: "Love your own ideas, take care of your body." ”
I hope that in the future, they have the ability to communicate with themselves often, find out what they really want to do, and even test their limits, it is very important to "explore" this thing, find a point that can infuse enthusiasm, through continuous practice, it will be his profession, which is really what belongs to children.

<h1>Being a director for the first time has a lot of issues to challenge, why do you want to make a film with Down syndrome as the theme? </h1>
This play has been brewing for ten years, not to set me to be a director first, but to want to shoot this topic too much, I attach great importance to it in my heart, I hope to shoot according to my ideas, so I decided to direct myself and participate in the performance.
Very impressive, when filming "Lord Pollis", director Wang Xiaodi explained to Zi Ang what to shoot and how to do it, he was suddenly absent-minded, squeezing his eyebrows, and wanted to say what was going on? Only to find out that it was the heroine who came! At that moment, there was a deep feeling, Tang Shi'er, like us, will appreciate beautiful things, like beautiful women, laugh when happy, cry when sad, but they don't know how to hide it, but isn't that the purest and purest appearance of being born as a human being?
I learned a lot from tang's children, thinking about whether the most primitive idea was influenced by matter on the way to growth? Just like when I was a child, I never had to bring money to play with my neighbors, and I went to the cooperative to get chopsticks to make a gun, it was all very simple happiness; of course, when I grew up, I would have other desires, I wanted to buy designer sneakers, a big house, etc., but after you had it, you must be very happy? It doesn't seem to be the case either.
Seeing Tang's innocent smile, I feel that life is not so bitter, for me, the more I have the ability to do things for them, the happier I will feel, making this film is too important for me, but also to complete my dreams.
