Before becoming famous

Since childhood, Tan Zongyao admired "Beijing People's Art Theater", a world-famous art palace. When he was a student, his family was not rich, so he saved money to buy tickets for people's art. He envied every actor of people's art very much, and often detoured to Shijia Hutong (people's art dormitory is here) in order to meet actors of people's art. When he graduated from high school, he resolutely chose the drama performance major of the PLA Academy of art. When he finally entered the people's art after several twists and turns, he released full of enthusiasm for the art building. In Tan Zongyao's mind: "no matter how small the theater is, it's also a big thing. No matter how big the family is, it's also a small thing." On the last day of his father's death, he worked during the day, performed "absolute signal" at night, went to the hospital to stay in bed at night, slept only a few hours a day, and became thin. Until his father died, it did not affect his performance.

During and after fame

Since the 1990s, Tan Zongyao has been shouldering more and more heavy responsibilities. In addition to acting as the vice president and in charge of a large number of specific affairs, he has also played a leading role in several major plays. As long as it's about the theater, whether it's about work or life, he is very enthusiastic. He even goes to his colleagues' home to persuade them to buy medicine for the patients. During his stay in hospital, Tan Zongyao said to his wife, "I really couldn't stand it that day. I had a dry mouth when I arranged" officers and soldiers take thieves "in the morning. I wanted to have a rest at noon. When I went back to the office, I saw a few people waiting for me to talk about the allocation of houses. I didn't finish the discussion until the rehearsal time in the afternoon. " Then there was rehearsal, talking about work, performing "antiques" in the evening, and he only drank a little water during the day. When he got home after the performance, he slumped in his chair.

——Beijing Daily

"The first building in the world", written by he Jiping, directed by Xia Chun and Gu Wei, and starred by Tan Zongyao and Lin liankun, made its debut in Beijing People's Art Theater in 1988. It once set an amazing record of 376 performances, which is even higher than that of the old teahouse.

As a child, Tan Zongyao was a "Star chaser" of drama actors. After school, he often made a detour to the actors' dormitory just to have a look at the images in his heart. Because of his poor family, it was not easy for him to buy tickets for the theatre. He worked as a laborer and pushed ore during the holidays. After earning money, he waited for a refund at the gate of the theatre. He has no artist family, no beautiful appearance, and his voice is a little hoarse. As an actor, he has little innate ability. However, he is hardworking, diligent and tenacious. He works hard to produce a "Kungfu voice" and "earns" the "capital" of a drama actor. As an artist, Tan Zongyao gradually established himself after 10 b-corners. In 1972, Tan Zongyao was admitted to his long cherished art. At the beginning, at the age of 28, he was still only able to play the b-role. He has worked as a b-role for Zheng Rong, Tong Chao, Su min, Li Xiang and other "big" actors. It's nothing to act as a b-role. He has "acted" 10 times. Some of them have been on the stage, and some have no chance to show their faces. It's a blessing to tan Zongyao, who plays a-roles by artists who have their own unique skills. He has learned a lot from them. In this theater, which is still the best in the country, Tan Zongyao has become a famous "actor". On the stage of the drama, there are Lu Mengshi, who is smart and skilful, Cao Pi, who is insidious, mean and magnanimous, and his Chinese drama "plum blossom Award" in 1990 and Wenhua performance award in 1991.

In 1993, he took on the responsibility of vice president of Beijing People's Art Theater. Tan Zongyao, who is well-known and profitable, can completely do more acting, TV series and movies. He has pushed off many film contracts and become a vice president who takes great pains to get up early and get up late, and sometimes fails to please. His younger brother once asked him why it was so hard. He gave a cool smile and asked: who would do it? He also said that people need money to live, but they can't live for money. Who calls me love art?

On December 2, people made a final farewell to tan Zongyao. In the upcoming divorce, the last character created by Tan Zongyao is the best singer.
