My life is miserable. I was reunited with my brother in Tianjin, and my younger brother and sister went to Shanghai together.
Yan Fei was born in Beijing, and her life experience is unfortunate. After his father died, his mother was unable to support their four brothers and sisters, and the family lived in two places. Yan Fei, with the title of "Little Mushroom", 10 years old, works as a "salesman" in a record company in Wangfujing Street. In fact, she is a little child laborer, and she has almost no leisure time a day. But at a young age, she never knew what it meant to be tired, and she always looked happy. She likes to learn about interesting things in society from talking with customers. What impressed Yan Fei most was a tall and thin young man. This person is very good at musical instruments and is proficient in music theory. Yan Fei took the opportunity to sit in on his teaching and watch him practice musical instruments. This person virtually served as Yan Fei's first teacher, which made her young mind sprout a wish: I want to engage in literature and art when I grow up. This lanky young man was none other than the elder brother of Yang, a famous master of Hu Qin and Peking Opera.
Yan Fei is also lucky. After learning about her experience, three college students she met while working in a record company decided to raise money for her education, which changed the fate of her apprentice. Because Yan Fei loved singing and dancing since she was a child, when she was 13 years old, it happened that Li Jinhui, a famous early musician in China, re-established a second literary and artistic group on the basis of China Song and Dance Troupe, namely Shanghai Yue Ming Song and Dance Troupe (hereinafter referred to as Yue Mingshe). At that time, the Yue Ming Society was recruiting students to perform in Beijing. Yan Fei, who happened to see this news, couldn't sit still any longer. She opened the door of the examination room, became the first batch of candidates, and was admitted by virtue of her own play.
Yue Ming Song and Dance Theatre Club decided to stay in Tianjin for a few days. Swallow happened to meet his brother Yan Hua, who was an apprentice in Tianjin. When brother and sister meet, it is inevitable that there will be bitter family affairs, and I don't know when the family will be reunited. Later, Yan Hua also joined the song and dance drama club, and the two brothers and sisters went to Shanghai together.
Know Zhou Xuan "She is not in the best state, but she works hard."
Yan Hua came to the drama club like a duck to water. He speaks Mandarin very well and has a strong sense of music. After being pointed out, he showed amazing talent and became the "pillar" of the drama club. One day, a little girl, Zhou Xiaohong, was brought into the drama club, facing Yan Hua who was about to go out. This is a bitter child abandoned by her parents, but she has the tenacity to learn art. Yan Hua taught her Mandarin pronunciation. Who would have thought that this little girl who is full of "Shanghai Putonghua" and sings milk would become a famous "golden voice" in China and become Yan Fei's sister-in-law.
Zhou Xiaohong is introverted, always doing things quietly from the beginning, which is just the opposite of Yan Fei's character. One day, when there was no one in the rehearsal field, Zhou Xiaohong quietly opened the piano cover and practiced fingering with her little hand touching the white keys. Yan flew away and asked her, "Why don't you pop it out?" Zhou Xiaohong whispered, "I'm not qualified to do this." "Why are they not qualified? Are they only allowed to play the piano? " Yin Fei regardless of this one, hands a hard, cheerfully played to get up. I often watch others play the piano. Zhou Xiaohong is an introduction. She has a strong ability to accept music. After listening, she kept it in mind and practiced it again and again. Later, she played better than Yan Fei. The same bumpy fate makes them understand each other's difficulties better, and their ideals and friendship are rooted in the hearts of the two sisters.
As for Zhou Xuan, the star of the century, Yan Fei recalled in an interview with reporters six years ago: "When she first met Zhou Xiaohong, she was very shy and kept her head down. My brother (Yan Hua) once said, how can such a girl be a star? Indeed, when Zhou Xiaohong first arrived, he couldn't speak Mandarin well and his voice was very thin. Her innate conditions are not as good as those of Bai Hong and Ouyang Feili, but she is willing to endure hardships. After that, Li Jinhui asked her to read music, Yan Hua taught her pronunciation, and Wang taught her to dance, making progress faster and faster. " How can Zhou Xuan finally become a generation of superstars? Yan Fei told reporters: "At that time, Zhou Xiaohong practiced his voice in the secluded corridor before dawn every day, wearing thin clothes and exercising in the house. There is no stove in Shanghai in winter, but she often sweats. "
Yan Fei still remembers that Zhou Xuan did not sing for the first time, but played an anthropomorphic little sun in the opera Three Butterflies. She is very lively and lovely on the stage. On another occasion, Yan Fei played a small animal herself, but the heroine Wang was temporarily "missing". Zhou Xuan, who had never rehearsed, was a great success. From then on, she gradually became the protagonist of Yue Ming Club, and became the "Four Little Kings" of Yue Ming Club together with Yan Fei, Ouyang Feili and Bai Hong.
I feel that Liu Qiong "lost him is the loss of my life."
Among the older generation of film artists in China, Liu Qiong's name is very loud. As early as 1930s, he was active in the field of film and drama. And he is also Yan Fei's ex-husband, and their relationship once caused a sensation in Shanghai.
1933, Yue Ming Society was dissolved. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, Yan Fei worked as an actor in Xinhua Song and Dance Drama Club. He often meets a young man in the canteen. He is tall, like a tall poplar tree, clear and refined, with a noble temperament, which has attracted the attention of many women. Careless YanFei didn't pay attention to these. When they met, they just smiled habitually and regarded them as bosom friends. Wang He and Yan Fei, actresses of the Drama Club, are good friends. Wang's husband likes this little sister who can act and is lively very much, and affectionately calls her a Fei. One day, Yan Fei came to the Wangs' house and saw the tall college student he met in the canteen talking, nodding and smiling. The young man looked up and saw that she was shocked, and both of them showed a look of surprise on their faces. Jin Yan introduced them to each other, but this unexpected meeting ignited the love spark of the young people who liked each other. The association with Yan Fei made Liu Qiong gradually addicted to acting, and their common hobbies tied them even tighter. 1934, Liu Qiong entered Lianhua Film Company and started his acting career under the strong recommendation of Jin Yan, so they were even better than Qi Fei in their career.
With a fixed income from performing arts, the couple decided to get married. Everyone knew in advance that the couple were short of money, so they came up with a good idea. Langen Han and Yin Xiucen, the famous comedy stars, are in charge of the door. Whoever comes to the wedding will get a dollar. A friend quipped, "This is not marriage, it is kidnapping."
After their marriage, Yin Fei and Liu Qiong's life soon took a turn for the better. Armand, the leading actor in La Traviata, starring Liu Qiong, caused a sensation as soon as the film was released. Liu Qiong rose like a bursting morning sun in China. They bid farewell to poverty, and living in a villa is the happiest and most romantic time after marriage. At this point, the scandal about Liu Qiong spread to Yin Fei's ears from time to time. She didn't expect another woman to take the opportunity to come into Liu Qiong's life. There was a rift in love, and the woman publicly asked for a divorce. After Yan Fei returned to Shanghai, he felt the seriousness of the situation. Liu Qiong spoke of his difficulties. Yan Fei was in a dilemma, but finally decided to give up. Another reason that caused her to break up with Liu Qiong was that they had no children after marriage, which caused Liu Qiong's mother's dissatisfaction. Liu Qiong is an only child and a well-known dutiful son. The pressure from his family should not be underestimated. The scene of divorce is as romantic as marriage. Yin Fei and Liu Qiong invited some friends from the company together and exchanged a prepared letter in public, in which they signed the divorce agreement. Then everyone drinks, chats and plays poker, and the atmosphere is harmonious and friendly. After the divorce, Liu Qiong left the villa to Yin Fei as compensation. At the beginning of 1946, Liu Qiong left his residence and disappeared from Yan Fei's life.
Many years later, Yan Fei was still very sad when he thought about it. Jin Yan, an old friend, confided to her before his death: "Liu Qiong is not a playboy, but a man with deep feelings in his bones. You are responsible for this step, Afei. " Yan Fei recalled his days with Liu Qiong and said, "Liu Qiong is a good man. He is modest and docile, he pursues his career enthusiastically, and he is honest and sincere to his friends. He doesn't have the autocratic style of ordinary men. Even after divorce, he always thinks of others and never imposes it on others. This may not be possible for other men. Losing him is the loss of my life. "
People's artistic life "The profession of actor has given me too much happiness and happiness"
Recalling the days when Renyi worked in Tianjin, Yan Fei's face was filled with a childlike smile. She said brightly: "I spent most of my 70-year stage career in Tianjin People's Arts. If time could go back, I would still choose the career of an actor, because it gave me too much happiness and joy in my life. "
Yan Fei has participated in dozens of plays, large and small, in Tianjin People's Arts, and every role is clearly remembered. After arriving at the theater, Yan Feifei performed the first drama "Longxugou" written by the famous writer Lao She and directed by Fang Shen. She plays the poor citizen Aunt Wang in the play. In order to play a good role, Yan Fei went to the third place of Heather alone to talk with the working people living at the bottom of the old society and observe their every move to make up for the gap between himself and the role. An ordinary line, she also has to scrutinize it repeatedly, trying to figure out aunt Wang's inner thoughts, and to what extent the tone is appropriate, which shows her serious attitude. Director Fang Shen said: "Such an actor is really reassuring." 1980 In March, Tianjin Renyi held a forum to celebrate her 50-year stage career. Huang Yijun and more than 30 old friends from Shanghai gave her a Chinese painting of evergreen cypress, while the new one painted a pumpkin with lush foliage and numerous fruits. Wu Zuguang wrote an inscription: "Qiu Guang is infinitely good, melon is old and red." Li, a famous scholar, wrote an inscription for her: "50 years of drama career, the world is full of hardships." Brilliance is fleeting and artistic talent is strong. "
