1963165438+1October 29th, President Mao Zedong also came to watch the performance of Sentinel under neon lights. Everyone is very concerned about Chairman Mao's every move behind the scenes and is also very nervous. Premier Zhou came to Huairentang Theater in Zhongnanhai early, and his wife Deng personally went backstage to tell the actors not to be nervous when performing, and to make every line clear. The performance was a great success. After the performance, Chairman Mao, who seldom watched the drama, said happily when he met the actors: "The drama is alive." This sentence is still hanging in the first-line drama troupe to encourage everyone. After the performance, Zhou Enlai was also very concerned about the cast members, and specially invited the cast members to the Xihuating in Zhongnanhai for dinner. At dinner, we inadvertently learned that Premier Zhou Enlai, like ordinary people, also received a food stamp of 28kg per month. Everyone doesn't believe that a national leader's food standard is the same as his own, and he is more respected.
1966, the "cultural revolution" broke out in an all-round way, and Tao Yuling was implicated. She had to take off the military uniform she had worn for 20 years and leave her favorite job. After many twists and turns, Tao Yuling came to Nantong Transistor Factory and became an ordinary worker with two children. But she quickly adapted to the new environment, worked actively and treated people sincerely, and formed a deep friendship with her sisters in the factory. But at this time, Tao Yuling's mental state was very bad, and he was haggard, feeling that he could never appear on the screen again. Later, Tao Yuling went to Beijing on business. She thought that the Prime Minister was not in good health at this time, so she decided to write him a letter and wish him good health. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister's office informed her to enter Zhongnanhai at four o'clock in the afternoon. Tao Yuling was particularly excited. When she arrived in Zhongnanhai, Tao Yuling first met Sister Deng, and she cried with Sister Deng in her arms. Seeing her like this, Deng comforted her and said, "Don't be so excited. The Prime Minister just went to receive foreign guests, and he left you a few words. He said that Tao Yuling used to be a soldier, now he is a worker, and he will be familiar with farmers in the future. As long as he serves the people well, he will have a bright future and a promising future! " Hearing what the Premier left her, Tao Yuling thought: No matter how difficult it is in my life, I will overcome it and do as the Premier said. 1978, Tao Yuling, the actor captain of the front-line drama troupe, went to Beijing with his lover transferred to the General Political Department and the Ministry of Culture. Before coming to Beijing, someone reminded her that if you go to Beijing, you will change from a "chicken head" in Nanjing to a "phoenix tail" in Beijing. Moreover, after more than 20 years of wind and rain such as decentralization, marriage and re-employment, the ruthless years have already left traces of vicissitudes for Tao Yuling, and the pure and sweet "second sister" has also lost its youthful luster. Although Tao Yuling is psychologically prepared for the possible cold reception, the reality is much more cruel than she imagined.
After entering Bayi Factory, her former "second sister" status made her famous, but she could not bring her a new role. It may also be that "Second Sister" is so impressive that the directors don't know how to make the 44-year-old "Second Sister" face the audience. Some people even said with malicious intent: You'd better put on your makeup first, and then try the lens. At that time, Tao Yuling had nothing to play. She was really going to lose her job.
But she also found that in the entertainment circle at that time, many actresses could not get roles and plays because of her "wrinkles". All this is not aimed at her alone. She still believes in her own strength, and she waits silently. So when she received an invitation from director Yan Jizhou to take part in the filming of Three Missing Persons, she was extremely happy. Tao Yuling's role in the film is a female guerrilla, and there are few scenes. In fact, she is an extra without lines. However, Tao Yuling cherished the opportunity of this performance very much, and her old friend Tian Hua encouraged her not to give up. There is a big gap between the heroine "Second Sister", who was popular all over the world, and the extras who have no lines now, but Tao Yuling faced it calmly and began to carefully prepare this "female guerrilla". When I came to the scene, I realized that I only had a shot of "female guerrillas shaving". From 1964 to 14, the performance and age have no advantages. Tao Yuling decided to "knock off his self-esteem and start from scratch".
Before the audition, she specially found makeup artist Liu Hong and asked her to help her choose her own style. After shaping, she felt much more at ease. When she came to the scene, she realized that she actually only had a shot of "female guerrillas shaving". Although extremely simple, she didn't neglect at all. Tao Yuling, who grew up in the south, never shaved, so she immediately learned the craft from the northerners present. -Tao Yuling's "Daoxiao Noodles" shot is very short, but director Yan Jizhou is very satisfied. Soon, the director Yan arranged another role. Although she is still a mass character with few scenes, she still performs every movement meticulously and finally gets the satisfaction of the director.
Tao Yuling, 44, finally stood up from the role of an extra. Since then, she has participated in the shooting of many films, such as Two Springs Reflecting the Moon, Ruyi and Ming Girl. In the director's film "Home", he boldly surpassed himself and played the role of mother and daughter spanning two generations. The film "River Without Ships" co-produced with Wu won the best film award in Hawaii. He also participated in the shooting of many TV series, such as "The Past of the Republic of China" and "General Xu".
With the belief of "everything starts from scratch", Tao Yuling finally started a new starting point on the road of performance. She has created one image after another of middle-aged and elderly women with unique style, simplicity and kindness, and once again created her own road of artistic performance.
On February 201May 17, Tao Yuling performed the opening performance of "Four generations under one roof" in the CCTV Spring Festival Evening on February 201May. In the face of sudden illness, Tao Yuling wrote in his diary: "You must fight for survival, you can't just sit still ..."
1993165438+10, Tao Yuling, who was filming the TV series "Women Crossing the Man River", left the crew with regret. She was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in the upper jaw of her mouth, which was cancer and had to be hospitalized. Since then, she has embarked on the road of anti-cancer for 10 years.
In the face of sudden illness, Tao Yuling wrote in her diary: "We must fight for survival, not wait for death …" Perhaps it is an actress's instinct, and she has a strong desire in her heart: don't operate on her face to avoid disfigurement. She insisted on her strong desire and told the doctor. This is 10 Tao Yuling's first challenge to the disease on the road of anti-cancer. Her determination moved the doctor. According to her wishes, the doctor performed oral surgery for her and finally succeeded.
Tao Yuling recalled: The operation was so successful that many people didn't believe that I would recover so well. But I know very well in my heart that my biggest gain is a new understanding of my illness. After the operation, in addition to active treatment and taking traditional Chinese medicine, she also insisted on doing "breathing" aerobics. When it comes to "sniffing", Tao Yuling looks relaxed. In fact, it takes a lot of perseverance. She has to work for six or seven hours every day and has been home from the hospital for a long time.
10 years of long anti-cancer road, Tao Yuling took her "Breathing Breathing" aerobics and medicine jar, and participated in filming one movie after another. Death is far away from her. 1994, just four months after the operation, Tao Yuling participated in the screening of the film "Artillery Major" starring her before her illness. At that time, her body had not recovered and she had no strength. But with the encouragement of her lover, she was helped into the activity scene of the film bureau. Soon after, after her illness, she made her first film "Troubled Family", and then one after another. She insisted on taking Chinese medicine treatment while filming. Tao Yuling recalled that she went to the hospital every half month. Get up at 4 o'clock in the morning, do a short exercise, cross the wide East Hospital of the General Political Department for Retired Cadres, and take the 104 bus to Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, taking 14 Chinese medicine every time. Sometimes for filming, she will ask the doctor if she can prescribe medicine for a month. ...
She overcame the disease. 10 years' long anti-cancer road, Tao Yuling took her "breathing" aerobics and medicine pot (she also took a medicine pot that can be plugged in in in order not to cause trouble to others during filming) and participated in filming one movie after another. Death is far away from her. In 2004, Tao Yuling finally recovered completely. The tenacity and hard work of "Second Sister" enabled her to create another medical miracle.
She has another regret, that is, after her recovery, Shanghai TV Station is going to remake a star version of Thunderstorm, starring Jiao Huang, and invited Tao Yuling to play Ma Lu. She is a drama actress, so it has always been her dream to return to the stage of drama. However, it is almost impossible to drink water all the time because saliva cannot be secreted after the operation. Tossing and turning, Tao Yuling turned down the role, which is really a pity.
She said: I am willing to show it to every "mother" who plays the leading role.
