June 8, Beijing People's Art Theater issued an obituary: Outstanding member of the Communist Party of China, winner of the " July 1st Medal ", Beijing People's Art Theater performing and directing artist Comrade Lan Tianye died in June 2022 due to illness. He died at his home in Beijing at 13:43 on the 8th at the age of 95.
In June 1952, when Beijing People's Art Institute was established, 25-year-old Lan Tianye was the backbone. Standing on the stage for most of his life, he influenced several generations of actors and trained and supported countless younger generations. Actor Wang Ji is one of them. She and Lan Tianye have an endless teacher-student friendship. During the interview, she choked up several times, "The teacher left like this. I still can't believe it, and I don't want to believe it. Today I kept opening the address book and looking at the teacher's phone number, and I really wanted to call it, although it's impossible. Just leave the phone here. "
In 2012, Wang Ji and Lan Tianye rehearsed the drama " Jiaziyuan ". Picture/Visual China
Teacher Lan said "not bad", which means it is a very high evaluation.
In 1981, when the new class of Beijing People's Art was recruiting students, Lan Tianye was at the registration office the whole time, looking for "spiritual" seedlings for the theater. 19-year-old Wang Ji applied for the People's Art and participated in the People's Art student class. This student class is the famous "August 1st Class" of Beijing People's Art in the history of Chinese drama. Lan Tianye and others selected it from more than 1,000 applicants. There are 14 people, including Wang Ji, Song Dandan , Liang Guanhua and other well-known actors. The class teacher is Su Min, and Lan Tianye is the acting teacher, teaching "Observation of Life Sketch Exercises" and so on. In Wang Ji’s memory, when she first met Lan Tianye, she felt that this teacher’s style was different from that of Renyi: “Teacher Lan is a particularly elegant intellectual, gentle and polite, and to put it more simply, he has a foreign style. He is He is very serious and rarely smiles. It is difficult for you to make him laugh, and many emotions are not written on his face. He will not say whether the performance class is good or bad, which makes you Zhang Er Monk confused. , I don’t know what the teacher thinks, whether it works or not. We all feel a little scared after the class. We always check whether there is anything we didn’t do well and what the teacher meant. You will have many ideas. , because you can't touch his emotions. But although Teacher Lan has a dignity that makes people feel uncomfortable, he never loses his temper."
Later, he starred in the graduation drama "Home". The actor in "Cousin" was not in good condition and his performances were always unsatisfactory, so he asked Wang Ji to take over. After being a bit player for many years, she fully demonstrated her acting skills and won a round of applause. Wang Ji remembered that after the performance, Lan Tianye said two words "not bad" to her. When she heard this, she ran to the bathroom of Renyi and cried. At that time, she felt that these two words were too powerful. , he was finally recognized by everyone: "I have a very strong personality and always feel that I am no worse than others. Why is my role not as important as others? I feel very dissatisfied and confused, so when this opportunity comes, I can seize it." Yes, I am very pleased that the teacher can affirm me. Especially Teacher Lan, although he doesn't talk much and is very sparing with words, but if you think about what he said, if he says "not bad", it is a very high praise. To say 'good', it's probably a bit unsatisfactory. "
He always gives people a comfortable feeling, like a loving father.
Wang Ji misses the days when she and Lan Tianye spent time together in Renyi. Looking back, she realizes this. The relationship between teacher and student is so valuable. Lan Tianye is undoubtedly the most important teacher to her in performance and life. She has been inspired and influenced by a lot of positive energy in life and career: "Teacher Lan is very measured in what she does. , he will give people the feeling of a humble gentleman. He never forces or releases his emotions or emotions on others, and does not force people to do anything, including at work and in life. Many people are very aggressive. He wants to put his emotions above others, and you have to be happy when he is happy, and you have to be sad when he is sad, especially actors, because they are always surrounded by stars, so they don’t even know who they are. , but Teacher Lan would never be like this, he would always be indifferent to favors and humiliations.Later, he became younger and younger and happier. Every time you filmed or met with him, he made you feel particularly comfortable in the whole magnetic field. His father-like love made you feel at ease. "
Wang Ji said that she can always feel a kind of fatherly warmth when she is with Lan Tianye. The picture comes from her Weibo
Wang Ji recalled that she and Teacher Lan also acted as a couple in a play, and she played the role of Lan Tianye "We were still joking at the time. Teacher Lan frowned and said, 'This is my student, how can they play a couple?' I also advised him, 'No way, actors can play any role. '. "Later, Lan Tianye's wife passed away. Wang Ji and Lan Tianye said, "Once a teacher, he will always be a father. When I have the opportunity, I will take him to the United States to see Hollywood ." Lan Tianye agreed at that time, but this was not the case. It has become Wang Ji’s lifelong regret. Another regret is that she had the opportunity to rekindle the master-disciple relationship with Lan Tianye and put on another play, but unfortunately it didn’t happen: “I said that time, when will you put on the play? , as long as you need me, I will be the first to stand in front of you, without any conditions. He was very pleased, but there was no chance. In fact, the time spent with the teacher is really warm. You can feel his fatherly brilliance and his loving eyes at any time. ”
