When we look back at Yu Yi's brilliant achievements in his acting career, it is impossible to deny that he has become one of the most high-profile and powerful actors in the entertainment industry today. Every character created by him makes people feel the delicate portrayal of his inner monologue and the deep understanding of the character's image.
What the audience appreciates is the authentic and vivid performance that he presents when he fully integrates himself into the character, as if the character is standing in front of them as if it were a real person.
However, what is deeply confusing is that despite Yu Yi's outstanding performance in many excellent dramas, his own popularity has never surpassed the classic characters he has created.
The audience often remembers the energetic and interesting characters such as "Er Yatou" and "Zhao Yan" more deeply, and the name of actor Yu Yi always seems to be obscured by the brilliance of these characters, making it difficult to attract people's attention.
This undoubtedly makes people feel a little regretful and confused. An outstanding actor should not only be the embodiment of the character, but also make the audience remember his name with his own personality charm and professionalism.
However, Yu Yi chose to embark on a unique path of "good drama, popular roles, but not famous".
Looking back on the past, perhaps it is precisely because of Yu Yi's unique attitude towards his career that today's achievements have been created. As a dedicated actor, he devotes himself to each role, focusing on the deep exploration and display of the inner spirit of the characters, rather than paying too much attention to whether it can be remembered by the audience.
His work ethic is so focused and pure that, in the face of success, his reputation is overshadowed by the brilliance of his role.
However, for a veteran actor like Yu Yi, the level of personal fame does not seem to be crucial. What he cherishes more is to bring a double feast of sight and sound to the audience through his superb acting skills, so that the inner world of the characters can be vividly presented.
As long as the work is affirmed by the audience, he is already satisfied.
Just as many years later, when people re-examine Yu Yi's artistic path, they praise him more for his deep insight and precise interpretation of the role, rather than how famous his personal name is.
An audience member once sighed: "I can't remember Yu Yi's appearance himself, but every character he portrayed on the TV screen is lifelike and deeply imprinted in my mind."
This comment aptly sums up Yu Yi's unique charm as an actor.
Yu Yi, a drama student born in an ordinary way, like many actors, is also full of challenges and hopes in his growth process. In that passionate era in the 80s of the last century, he firmly stepped into the door of the Shanghai Theater Academy, and took this as a starting point to embark on the journey of chasing his dreams.
However, the beginning of his career was full of difficulties.
As a fledgling newcomer, Yu Yi had to start from the role of a dragon and work hard step by step. Although he was born with an unruly appearance, proud figure, and profound acting skills accumulated during school, these advantages are so pale in the face of the severe test of the workplace.
As a result, Yu Yi spent a full twelve years of youth playing the role of a trick and a supporting role in the filming sites of various TV series. Although he has participated in works familiar to the audience, such as "Talented Men and Women", "Who Understands My Heart", "Love Breathes" and other well-known works, most of the characters he has created are inconspicuous little people or passers-by, and they cannot fully show his true strength.
Faced with the stagnation of his career, Yu Yi did not choose to give up. In order to make ends meet, he had to travel around and work stages such as dramas and musicals. Sometimes, as soon as the TV series is finished, he immediately devotes himself to the rehearsals of other stage plays, devoting himself wholeheartedly, swaying his talent and sweat.
Under the tempering of time, Yu Yi has always maintained his enthusiasm for the future and his persistent pursuit of art. Despite his meager income, he is still looking forward to the next opportunity to one day show his true strength and talent for his family and the wider audience.
In this lonely and tenacious artistic journey, a rare opportunity finally came to Yu Yi.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 2017 has come. In this bright spring season, Yu Yi's career has also ushered in new brilliance. This time, he relied not only on his superb acting skills, but also on his unique musical talent.
When former film and television superstars crossed the line and participated in fiercely competitive singing competitions, Yu Yi's name was prominently listed! Although he had doubts about changing tracks, his strong love for art made him resolutely embark on this strange and new stage.
While one deeply rooted classic song after another was brought to life by his deep, expressive voice, all the audience and the jury were completely captivated and blown away by his magnetic charisma.
No one expected that this veteran actor, who has always performed all kinds of characters brilliantly on the screen, would have such a breathtaking singing voice! The jury was full of praise for his performance, and unanimously agreed that he had great potential to become an excellent singer.
After the show ended, Yu Yi's music career officially kicked off. As the queen actor of the well-known director Guo Jingyu, he quickly got the precious opportunity to dedicate the theme song for the new series "Tales of the Tang Dynasty".
Under his affectionate interpretation, the song "Search" is like a simple melody, and the artistic conception depicted between the lyrics is like an ethereal poem, making people feel as if they are in a dreamlike journey through the depths of their hearts.
Despite entering middle age, Yu Yi's passion and pursuit of art has never diminished, which undoubtedly injects endless possibilities into his career path. The audience is eagerly awaiting that this veteran artist, who has been honed for decades and has both superb acting skills and musical talent, will be able to present us with more exciting performances in the coming days, whether in the field of film and television, or in the field of music.
Looking back on the important turning point in Yu Yi's life, we have to look back to the year 2012. That year, the famous director Guo Jingyu was full of passion, holding the script of "Dog Stick" and knocking on the door of his younger brother Yang Zhigang.
He hopes to personally invite Yang Zhigang to play the role of a "second girl" in the play, although he is not the protagonist, but has a lot of personality.
However, after carefully studying the script, Yang Zhigang politely rejected the role, and instead chose the more manly role of Ma Jiujin. Faced with his younger brother's refusal, Director Guo could only reluctantly accept it, and began to look around for suitable actors.
At this decisive moment, Yu Yi, who had already entered middle age, stood up without hesitation, showing his deep desire for this role.
Director Guo, who met Yu Yi for the first time, was full of doubts. However, it was only a short time before this doubt was dispelled by Yu Yi's brave and professional performance. I saw that Yu Yi immediately changed into a lady's clothes, and the makeup and decoration were also meticulous, showing a delicate and moving posture, as if he had transformed into another person.
Yu Yi's unreserved bold behavior undoubtedly shocked everyone present. However, Director Guo was impressed by Yu Yi's courage and professionalism. A great actor should always be fully engaged in the role, even if it takes some extraordinary action for the role.
Therefore, Director Guo was moved by Yu Yi's sincerity and dedication. In the face of this bold, focused, and dedicated actor to the role, he finally firmly decided to completely entrust the role of "Second Girl" to Yu Yi to perform.
In this way, the opportunity that should have belonged to the young actress actually fell dramatically into the hands of Yu Yi, a forty-year-old man. However, the development that followed also fully proved how precise and wise the director and actors were with foresight.
Life is like that, full of countless opportunities and surprises. No one could have predicted that a bold attempt and a firm professionalism could turn an obscure young actor into a key role in a classic that people have celebrated.
After successfully obtaining the role, Yu Yi went all out to devote himself to the creation of the role of the second girl. As an experienced actor, his understanding and grasp of the role stems from an almost instinctive focus and intention.
In order to perfectly present the unique character of the second girl, Yu Yi studied her speech and demeanor in depth and gained a deeper insight into her inner world. He gradually discovered that although the second girl was gentle and weak on the outside, she was as solid as a rock on the inside, and she said one thing on the surface, but she hid another set of plans in her heart.
This complex quality is puzzling, but it is also precisely the charm of the second girl.
In order to make the characters more vivid, Yu Yi even made a special trip to visit a senior opera master to learn from him about the uniqueness of dramatic art. Considering that the second girl will sing the opera passionately for his beloved wife in the play, Yu Yi is eager to learn this skill, lest his acting skills affect the quality of the whole play.
It is this kind of dedication and professionalism that makes Yu Yi often deeply integrated into the character's heart during the interpretation process, so that even if the director shouts "card", it is still difficult for him to withdraw from the situation, like ripples that cannot be extricated in the plot.
Once, when he was so involved in a rivalry with Yang Zhigang, Yang Zhigang was so frightened by his sharp gaze that he mistakenly thought that the other party was deeply hostile to him.
In order to assist Yu Yi in alleviating the heavy psychological burden caused by long-term and high-intensity work, the crew racked their brains. In the end, someone came up with a creative solution - to purchase a sandbag puppet for Yu Yi.
At first, everyone thought that Yu Yi would dismiss this, but surprisingly, he regarded this doll as a confidant and friend, whether it was in the dressing room, the lounge or on the set, he always accompanied this "new partner" inseparably.
Some people even witnessed that Yu Yi often muttered to this puppet, or poured out the boredom in his heart, or discussed his ideals and ambitions in life, and the scene was both lively and interesting.
This unique behavior pattern has caused a lot of heated discussions in the crew. Some people think that Yu Yi is better engaged in the role in this way, because the second girl also shows a lonely and confused side in the play, and some people say that this may just be a way for Yu Yi to find spiritual sustenance.
In any case, this experience has become a precious memory left by Yu Yi to everyone during those filming years.
Time flies, time flies, and now Yu Yi has ushered in another peak of his career. Although he has not become a popular star, his life has undoubtedly been full of happiness and satisfaction.
Looking back on the past, Yu Yi has had a long and difficult career, playing supporting roles in various crews and struggling to survive. Even his relatives and friends once questioned and wavered about him.
However, he never lost the fiery pursuit of his dreams, and his dedication to art always accompanied him. It is this pure love that has led him to continue to move forward on the road of his career, and finally won the recognition of the industry.
Although he does not have a dazzling star halo, he has become a highly respected veteran actor with his superb acting skills and superb artistic accomplishment.
Whenever people mention Yu Yi, what they think of is not his appearance, but those unforgettable classic characters that he has brilliantly portrayed. Whether it is the second girl in "Dog Stick", or Zhao Yan in "Soul Ferry", or the distressing Zhao Shucheng in "Brave Heart", every character is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
Today's Yu Yi not only continues to launch excellent works in the film and television industry, but also sings the theme song for the hit series with his moving singing voice, which has won wide acclaim.
Even veteran film critics can't help but sigh: "It's rare for an actor to be able to play a role so deeply in the hearts of the people, and when he ventures into a whole new field of music, it undoubtedly shows his outstanding artistic talent."
Although life brought many challenges to Yu Yi, it finally gave back to him with sincere gifts.
Now, he has a happy family, his wife and daughter are his most solid spiritual pillars, his career is thriving, he has made remarkable achievements in both film and television music, his heart is full of joy and contentment, and his love for art has never stopped.
Maybe Yu Yi will never be able to become a superstar in the limelight, he may just be a member of the silent work behind the scenes. But for these, he is grateful and has never regretted his choice.
Because he is convinced that as long as he can water the tree of art with his pure love and exude a unique light, even if it is ordinary, there will still be a different kind of wonderful life waiting for him.
