Just entered the twenty-first century, the teacher Zhao Lirong, who often brought us laughter, went, and in the blink of an eye, in the past twenty years, many people have forgotten that there was such a performance artist in China's drama critics, film circles and sketch circles.
Teacher Zhao Lirong is a rare cross-border star in China's art world, she has been on various stages in her life, and her artistic career has lasted for 70 years from the first time she appeared on stage at the age of one. Behind the glamorous stage image, she also has a family story of ups and downs.
First, the partner of the critic family to the superstar
Zhao Lirong has a signature feature is the Tangshan accent, in fact, she is a Tianjin Baodi person, but this place was not under the control of Tianjin before liberation, and Baodi is not far from Tangshan, so she has an "old Tai'er" accent.
In 1928, Zhao Lirong was born in a family of quyi, saying that the family was somewhat reluctant, her father worked with the opera class, and the real singers were the eldest sister Furong Hua and the second brother Zhao Lianxi. Zhao Lirong's nickname is Lao Ai, and she was carried to the stage and ran back to the dragon set just one year old. At the age of six, she began to take on the stage to take on the role, and when she was twelve, her eldest sister gave her a new name, Zhao Lirong, and her stage name was still called Zhao Lirong.
When She was 15 years old, Zhao Lirong played the leading role for the first time, and there was an article on the Internet saying that she and Ma Sanli had a conflict, and Ma Sanli acted for her.
After liberation, Zhao Lirong first performed in the North China Theater with Xiao Baiyushuang (her artistic name is Xiao Baiyushuang, and her real name is Li Zaiwen). In 1952, Zhao Lirong began to cooperate with Xin Fengxia, and since then she has begun the history of cooperation with Xin Fengxia, a superstar of drama criticism.
"If you don't drink tea for three days, you can't help but watch the new Fengxia", for a long time, the new Fengxia was almost synonymous with the drama. And Zhao Lirong is the most stable, most secure and competent partner around Xin Fengxia.
Xin Fengxia commented on Zhao Lirong, saying that her art has several characteristics:
First, the belly is spacious, and there are many things that can be sung, and the zizi, the second yellow and the time tune can all sing, which lays a solid artistic foundation for her. The second is never to pick a play, no matter what role can perform the characteristics. Zhao Lirong, who commented on the roles of Boumen Dan, Hua Dan, Cai Dan, Cry Dan, and Da Dan in the drama, can afford to put it down.
Third, there is life, and every action of Zhao Lirong on the stage is well thought-out. In order to play the Yang mother in "Yang Sanjie's Complaint", Zhao Lirong deliberately provoked her mother to be angry at home, and then her mother scolded her in her hometown dialect and chased and beat her, and Zhao Lirong found inspiration to play Yang Mother from her mother's action demeanor.
Fourth, the drama is good. No matter who you work with, you have never been unhappy, and you can always think about the role for each other.
Most viewers are most impressed by Zhao Lirong's early drama works is "Flowers as a Medium", this opera film starring Xin Fengxia, and one of the screenwriters is Xin Fengxia's lover Wu Zuguang. Zhao Lirong starred as Ruan Ma, and her second brother Zhao Lianxi starred as Li Maolin.
One of the highlights of this movie is that Ruan Mama and Zhang Wuke have a scene in the garden, and the cooperation between the two people is tightly stitched together, which is a classic in the drama industry.
Second, a smooth career and a faltering family life
In the thirty years after Zhao Lirong's liberation until the 1980s, her drama critic career was relatively smooth, but what was not commensurate with his career was her faltering family life.
In 1953, Xin Fengxia was a matchmaker to match shengqiang and Zhao Lirong, the secretary of the Chinese Commentary Theater, Shengqiang was a college student, had served as a theater manager, and was tall and personable, while Zhao Lirong was an artist from a poor background, so Zhao Mother resolutely opposed. But the two young men still used their feelings to persuade their mother to eventually become relatives.
In 1955, Zhao Lirong gave birth to her eldest son, and in 1957 she gave birth to her second son, and just before the birth of her second son, Sheng qiang became a rightist in the movement and was sent to Tianjin Labor Reform. Zhao Lirong firmly said that she would not draw a line with her husband and would wait for him to return.
In 1959, Zhao Lirong took her two sons to visit her husband on a laogai farm, but learned that Shengqiang had died, which made her seriously ill.
On the one hand, she had to endure the grief to continue the performance, and on the other hand, she also had to take care of her two sons, and Zhao Lirong, who was just thirty years old, was overwhelmed. Shengqiang's sister suggested that Zhao Lirong remarry Shengqiang's younger brother Shenghong. For this matter, Zhao Lirong resolutely disagreed at first, thinking that this matter was too humiliating.
But in the end, in 1964, Zhao Lirong and Sheng Hong married, on the one hand, Sheng Hong was like his brother Sheng Qiang, and he was also very good to the children, on the other hand, Zhao LiRong said to his girlfriend, so that the children did not have to change their surnames. For this matter, Zhao Lirong also paid a price, and the second brother Zhao Lianxi never spoke to his sister until his death.
After remarrying, Zhao Lirong gave birth to a younger son and a daughter, but unfortunately the daughter is cerebral palsy, Zhao Lirong is distressed that the child insists on performing while taking care of her, but in 1977, her daughter died when she was seven years old, which became Zhao Lirong's lifelong regret.
The thing that makes Zhao Lirong feel guilty is that she always insists on performing for the stage and the audience, always thinking of waiting until she retires and then resting with her husband Sheng Hong, but she did not expect that Sheng Hong died of a sudden heart attack in 1984, which also made Zhao Lirong's second half of life full of guilt.
Third, the old crossover queen
Most people began to get acquainted with Zhao Lirong in the spring evening, and several of her classic sketches were very popular, in fact, her earliest Spring Festival Gala work was not "A Day of a Heroic Mother", but "Emergency" cooperated with You Benchang a year earlier. What makes her stand out in the sketch world is the "Qi Tianle" party of the Journey to the West crew, and the "Cabinet in the Edge" that she cooperated with Xiang Han and Yang Jun at the party is the bottom of the box program of the Westward Journey Crew. In this way, Zhao Lirong's first step in crossing the border is none other than "Journey to the West".
"Journey to the West" director Yang Jie likes to collect famous actors from various dramas across the country to join the crew, and Zhao Lirong, the big horned child of the drama, naturally wants to make the most of her talents, so we see a stupid and cute Che Chi King.
The "Journey to the West" crew wants to network with local partners, and the big axis program at the party is "The Edge of the Cabinet", and the protagonist of this program is also none other than Zhao Lirong, only she can perform funny and funny.
As a result, step by step, Zhao Lirong's cross-border road has gone farther and farther. After the first Spring Festival Gala trip, screenwriter Shi Lin deliberately wrote a sentence in the sketch script "A Day of a Heroic Mother" that he and Zang Li collaborated on: it was suggested that Zhao Lirong, a teacher from the China Critics Theatre, play the main role. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a sketch tailored for Zhao Lirong. So we saw this sketch on a spring evening starring two crossover actors.
Objectively evaluated, "A Day in the Hero's Mother" can be called a perfect sketch, whether it is the structure or language and the performance of the two cross-border actors is perfect, but it is a pity that Zhao Lirong was not able to cooperate with Hou Yaowen after that, but became a golden partner with another cross-talk actor, Gong Hanlin.
Before the popular "So Packaged" and "Migrant Work Adventure", Gong Hanlin and Zhao Lirong already had a cooperation, which is "Mother's Today", in this sketch, Zhao Lirong performed the classic "Tango Dance Step Cheats": Tango Beat is a trip, a trip, three steps, two times, two heads, five steps, a waist, six steps and a wave, and then you go again. In fact, this classic baggage is also the inspiration for Zhao Lirong to go to the square to watch people dance.
Perhaps it is inspired in this mix of Chinese and Western combining traditional and modern works, "So Packaged" and later sketches, Zhao Lirong constantly breaks through herself, from modern dance to English songs, the audience continues to find surprises from Teacher Zhao, even though her body is weakening day by day, but Zhao Lirong's audience popularity is growing day by day.
While becoming a big name in the sketch industry, Zhao Lirong also has a more amazing film crossover, in the movie "New Year", she created a warm and touching mother image, and her perfect performance in the film won her the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award and the Tokyo Film Festival Double Best Actress Award. For Zhao Lirong, who has only starred in three movies ("Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Filial Piety and Grandchildren Waiting"), her film crossover was the peak at the beginning.
The author believes that if it were not for the limitations of age and physical condition of Zhao Lirong, she could actually bring more and more wonderful performances to everyone in film and television, but unfortunately, now we can only recall her acting talent in a few works such as "New Year".
In 2000, Teacher Zhao Lirong died of lung cancer, and the first year she still dragged her sick body to the Spring Festival Gala and left the song "My Heart Is Eternal".
Zhao Benshan, the king of sketches, has made extraordinary achievements in the three fields of sketches, movies and TV series, but before him, Zhao Lirong teacher can be called a more comprehensive cross-border queen.
