As a highly respected predecessor in the Chinese performing arts circle, Lan Lanye has devoted himself to the drama career since the 1940s. For decades, he has shaped Zeng Wenqing in "Beijing People" and Dong Si in "Cai Wenji" on the stage of Beijing Renyi. , Qin Zhongyi in "Tea House" and many other distinctive characters.
In addition to shining on the stage of drama, Lan Lanye has also participated in many TV dramas.
In "Desire", which became popular in the 1990s, he played Wang Husheng's father, Wang Zitao.
Of course, Lan Lanye's most classic screen image is undoubtedly Jiang Ziya in "Fengshen Bang" in 1990. He vividly interprets Jiang Taigong's strategizing and immortal style.

Practitioner of "Let the old lead the new"
It has been said that Lan Lan Ye fully embodies the responsibility and self-consciousness of the older generation of artists.
In 1987, 60-year-old Lan Lanye left the stage due to retirement. 24 years later, he was invited by the theater to return to the stage to perform. Since then, he can no longer let go of his beloved drama career.
Over the years, Lantian Ye is still very old, and he has continued to be active in the drama world.
Acting, rehearsing and directing, Lan Lanye has worked tirelessly for China's theatrical career.
Just last year, he directed the drama "Wu Wang Jin Ge Yue Wang Jian" again. At this time, Lan Lanye was 94 years old.
In an interview with the media, Lan Lanye said with a smile: "At my age, there are still a few people in the arts, but the only one who can still work and direct is me."

Being able to become a senior who is truly loved by everyone, in addition to his excellent strength and professionalism on the stage of drama, is also inseparable from Lantian Ye's loving, gentle, approachable character, who likes to support juniors.
The fine tradition of people's art of "passing on the help, leading the old with the new" is best reflected in Lantianye.
Yuan Yu, an actor who has collaborated with Lantianye in the play "Home" once said: "Teacher Lantianye played a very fierce person on stage, but he was a very kind person offstage. I played it in the last round of performances. It's Wan'er, doesn't he have a cane? He actually abuses Wan'er in the play, so he needs to take that cane and stab me in the hand. He asked me for the first time (during the first row), 'I can stab you' Hand?', I said no problem. But he will still hold that strength, he won't be really strong, it won't hurt very much on my hand, and he loves young actors very much."
A model of "choose a career, be loyal for a lifetime"
The younger generation's admiration for Lantianye is beyond words, and for Pu Cunxin, Lantianye has some deeper meanings.
Lan Lanye is not only a senior who watched Pu Cunxin grow up, but also a leader on his career path.
In 1986, Lan Lanye seconded Pu Cunxin from the Kongzheng Repertory Troupe to Beijing Renyi to perform dramas, officially opening Pu Cunxin's performance, which lasted for decades.
Over the years, Lantianye has witnessed Pu Cunxin's growth. The two are like master and apprentice, more like father and son.

It is a pity that we will usher in another cooperation between the two - from June 9th to 14th, Beijing Renyi ushered in the performance of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the academy, and rearranged "Tea House".
Pu Cunxin acts as the starring role, and Lan Lanye acts as an art consultant, once again leading the way for the younger generation.
However, the reliable guide, who always had a loving smile, was absent after all.
"Choose a career, be loyal for a lifetime", Lan Lanye's whole life is dedicated to the stage.
He still insisted on practicing at an old age. Before his death, he was preparing for the reenactment of the drama "Tea House", which made countless people feel the shock of "endless life and endless performances".
Now, I also hope that in another world, he can continue to be at ease and soar in the sky.
Netizens posted their condolences to Lan Lanye.
