Acting experience

Zhan Pingping's mother is a tea farmer in Longjing mountain and her father is a clerk in a tea shop in Hangzhou. Zhan Pingping was just two years old when her mother died. In order to make a living, the father left his 4-year-old son at his grandmother's house, gave his daughter to his neighbor as an adopted daughter, and went to Shanghai alone to find a job. It was not until 1958 that Zhan Pingping returned to her father when she was 10 years old. In 1959, she was recruited by Shanghai Opera School to study drama, specializing in Huadan and daomadian. Under the guidance of famous Peking Opera actors Yan Huizhu and Zhu Chuanming, she laid a good foundation in drama performance. During the ten years of the "Cultural Revolution", she resisted all kinds of pressures and worked hard. In 1979, she finally became a star on the stage of Shanghai Peking Opera. In October 1979, Zhan Pingping, who was born in the year of "Er Li", was accepted as an apprentice by Tong Zhiling, a famous Peking Opera actor, making great progress in art. At the beginning of 1980, Zhan Pingping took part in the rehearsal of the large-scale Peking Opera Fengshenbang, playing Daji, the enchantress. She has always been singing Wenxi, but this time there are fireball and other martial arts actions in the play. She could have used a stand in, but Zhan Pingping wants to do it by herself. She was able to practice on her body and hands, and finally she was praised by everyone. One day, Tang Xiaodan, a famous director of Shanghai Film Studio, saw her performance and praised her for her good performance and deep characterization. He invited her to take part in the filming of Nanchang Uprising and play Yao Xianglian, the daughter of a fierce and indulgent local tyrant. During the performance, she felt nervous and went to a hospital for examination. She got cancer in her right breast. Under the care of the organization, Zhan Pingping immediately admitted to the hospital, ready for surgery. Zhan Pingping unexpectedly asked the doctor to let her finish the film before surgery. The doctor was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: people would "paralyze" when they got this kind of disease, but she still wanted to make a movie! Is she not sensible, or does she want fame and death? Zhan Pingping seemed to have guessed the doctor's psychology, and said with a smile: "at this point, what fame and wealth do I have to make? I think season doesn't wait for me, time is pressing, changing actors midway, many scenes need to be remade..." The doctor refused her request as a matter of course. A month later, Zhan Pingping was discharged from hospital and immediately put into intense shooting work. Three or nine days later, she was wearing a short sleeve Qipao in the suburbs of Shanghai. Some people worried that she couldn't stand it and proposed to go to the south. Zhan Pingping stopped her: "I can hold on. This is my first and perhaps the last time to cooperate with a film factory to save money for the country." when watching this film, no one would think that this is a shot taken by a patient one month after a major operation. "Nanchang Uprising" did not become Zhan Pingping's last film, and "Fengshenbang" did not become her last Peking Opera. In 1981, she dubbed the real and fake Li Kui, which was shot by Shanghai art film studio, and cooperated with Tong Zhiling to perform the Peking Opera Rouge in Wenzhou. In 1982, she performed "the list of gods" again and went to Hong Kong with her teacher Tong Zhiling to perform for Hong Kong and Macao compatriots.

In 1984, she played the role of Liu Shan in the film girl 28. Playing the heroine Kong Bixia in the film "gourmet" gives full play to her advantages in stage singing and shows the heroine's complex feelings delicately. In 1987, she played the role of Fang Mingli, the wife of the hero Li Qingyuan, in the film "dead and alive". In addition, she also took part in many TV series shooting, such as being a reporter in the diary of five women, being a female reporter Zhu ye in Feifei, being a second miss in Xinglin Chunyu, and being a doctor Fang min in Tengfei.
