Wu Yue liked an artist, named Damien Hirst, who had a work in which circles of many different colors were neatly arranged, and what he wanted to express was that everyone had their own color, very brilliant, but all of us were orderly. Wu Yue once said a word to her good friend, which she thought herself, and she said that it was very much in line with her current state of mind and state - in the crowd, singing her own songs.

Wu Yue, who has acted in dramas for more than twenty years, suffered one of the most serious and bizarre "failures" of his career in "Sweeping Black Storm".
The last similar experience came in the 2005 episode of "Chinese Marriage," but it was far less brutal than this one.

She said that it felt like a "ghost hitting the wall", she didn't know what was going on, she was out of control, she couldn't act, and she couldn't recite more than three words. If you think of making a play as building a house, then the line is bricks, and now the bricks are in trouble, what to do? She asked all the friends she could ask, and some of them didn't believe it: How could it be?
How could it be? She couldn't figure it out herself, but it just happened, and the director would say to her on the spot: You relax a little, be natural.
Who would have thought that this was what the director needed to say to Wu Yue?
A friend taught her a set of oral exercises, she practiced every day, found the ability to control the oral muscles, but also did psychological construction for herself, until the underground garage of the wordless heavy scene, she began to slowly find a little feeling, in the heart of a sigh of relief. She guessed in hindsight that maybe it was a period of time when people were "full" and needed to hollow out some of her own silt, or that this panic made her throw away everything she could rely on, starting from a "little white", trying to escape destruction and complete her task by all means.

After the broadcast of "Sweeping Black Storm", it achieved unexpected success, and many people began to re-examine her, evaluate her, praise her, and change her title from "Ling Ling" to "He Yun".
Wu Yue, 49, belongs to the ranks of "middle-aged actresses" who have been widely discussed, and over the years, she has completed a silent breakthrough by relying on her concentration and professionalism.
01
At the age of forty, Wu Yue played a little girl for the last time.
It was Yao Xiaofeng's "If Life Deceives You", in which Wu Yue needed to play a girl in her early twenties to about thirty years old. The director was a friend she knew, and she went without much thought, "because I've been playing a little girl." ”
When the shooting really started, I knew how hard it was, she was forty years old, and her appearance did not seem to be contrary, but some things had quietly changed long ago.

She had to adjust her heart to the look of 20 years old, and she had to be vigilant at all times, carrying herself all the time, and on the surface she had to stay loose and full, too tired.
The girl has a line, saying that she has never been in love, Wu Yue can't say it, after the performance, she told herself that she will not play a young girl again, unless it is a play with a large age span.
20 years old should have a 20-year-old look, there are so many 20-year-old girls can act, they should play what they should play at their own age, that is her world.
But the market doesn't seem to give middle-aged actresses much of a world.
Wu Yue did not resist playing her mother, but when people reached middle age and a series of changes came together, she still felt the crisis.
Older, not famous enough, no longer young and beautiful, more and more critical eyes around, an actress is particularly sensitive to this change, Wu Yue has been hurt by such a scrutinizing, critical eye, she feels that no actress can escape such a fate.
The feeling of frustration is packaged, can no longer play the little girl, in a sense means that can no longer play the female number one, in the crew, the protagonist and supporting roles, the position is different, the configuration is different, the protagonist is a young girl, so she rarely receives a complete play, are scattered, inevitably make people feel frustrated.
Fortunately, she is not too struggling, nor too stubborn, she said that she is a very "life-denying" person.
"Everyone loves a good script, but isn't it your turn?"
She said that she was not a front-line actor, and she couldn't pick the best scene, so she took the play that she could receive, that was her job, there was her interest, there was her love.
"The First Half of My Life" was recommended to her by Haiqing, Wu Yue heard that the director was Shen Yan, and the actors had Jin Dong and Ma Yili, who felt very good, and also knew that people should broaden the drama road in middle age. The role played by "Ling Ling" is a small third, but it did not cause her any obstacles, she only felt that the screenwriter gave the character a good setting, so she took it.
Unexpectedly, that drama was so hot, and what I didn't expect was that the "little three" Ling Ling she played made "Wu Yue" suffer many unprovoked bad words.
Because the character was scolded, for the first time, she couldn't figure it out: What's wrong with me? Is there something wrong with filming seriously?

His role is to rob Chen Junsheng and let Luo Zijun start again, if there is only gentleness and frugality in a play, how is the structure of the story arranged? No one thought about it, and the insults poured into her, and she turned off her Weibo comments, and she still can't think of this.
Wu Yue has a calm face, always labeled as "people are light as chrysanthemums", she stressed in an interview with Lu Yu about a day trip that she is not a person who is as light as a chrysanthemum, if life has colors, she is definitely not Morandi color.
She cared about what others said about her, and in an interview after that, when asked about it, she had been holding her neck and expressing her confusion in a crisp voice, and suddenly cried when she mentioned that some strangers had written articles to speak for her. Perhaps as she said on Weibo, being strong in the face of wind and rain is vulnerable when faced with understanding and hugging. In the face of those who speak for her, she will think: How can there be such a good person in this world?
Her team didn't spend money to find someone, but there were a lot of strangers who were willing to come out and speak for her, saying that Wu Yue was a good actor, and at that moment, she said that she seemed to be back in the past.

Some friends always ridiculed Wu Yue: on the debut of Mount Everest, and then all the way down.
Wu Yue herself also feels reasonable, her debut is very smooth, graduated from the opera in 1995, followed by the big drama, the first play, "The Story of Beijing Late Autumn", she is the female number one, the partner is Chen Baoguo, Li Yapeng, Hu Jun.
In 1997's "Age of Peace", the male protagonist is Zhang Fengyi, and the female protagonist is Yu Xiaohui, who won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Supporting Actress with that drama.

Meng Jinghui's "Rhinoceros in Love", her partner Guo Tao, is the first generation, lemon flavor of the "Ming".

At that time, she didn't think too much, all the way there was drama, just all the way forward, the day is very simple, build a group, and then kill the green, a play is finished, then build a group and then kill the green, a play is finished. It turned out that unconsciously, she was already standing in a very high position, and when she realized it, it had passed.
But Wu Yue didn't seem to care much, which may be one of the reasons why she was labeled as "light as a chrysanthemum". In fact, in her bones, there is a part of "how I must be", but not here.
What kind of play an actor can receive, what kind of position can be achieved, she is very objective, but also very recognized, she feels that this is not a matter of her will as a transfer, thinking more is distressed, she cares about the play itself.
If there is a scene in a script that is a "drama eye" in her heart, it will make her feel like a great enemy, and she must take it down, and that desire is very strong.
At the end of the day, it's something she likes, and asking when she started liking acting, she can't think of too specific reasons and times, and feels as if she was born.
At the theme class meeting in junior high school, the teacher asked about everyone's ideals, and when it was Wu Yue's turn, she said——
My ideal is to be an actor, I want to live many, many spring, summer, autumn and winter, I have to wear many, many skirts, I want to live many, many lives.
A classmate laughed after listening to it: Don't dream, what do you think.
The thing that others felt was very distant, but it was something she longed for from the bottom of her heart. Digging deeper, she felt that the "Novel Monthly" at that time had helped her a lot, and she felt that those novels allowed her to mature rapidly in a certain space, and plant seeds and grow a tree.
When she reads novels, she will always be taken in, her brain will make up a lot of things, after watching it, she feels that she is that person, and sometimes after watching the movie and leaving the movie theater, she will think that she is the character in the movie at the moment.
She never seemed to suspect that she was not suitable for this business, and everything seemed to come naturally.
When she acted, in addition to the "failure" moment that appeared in "Sweeping The Black Storm", she was generally confident, for example, when she debuted not long after she partnered with "big name" Zhang Fengyi, she did not have any distractions, did not feel afraid in her heart, and did not lose confidence, the first scene was naturally filmed.
Now, years later, Wu Yue, who came down from Mount Everest, seems to be walking towards the top of the mountain again.
Lu Yu said that she felt that as long as a person has been deeply cultivating in a field and has been doing things in a very down-to-earth manner, he will still be seen.
Wu Yue said that she had thought it was a bit difficult before, but this year, she felt that she was still lucky and began to believe it a little.

As a middle-aged actress, Wu Yue feels that the situation has shown signs of improvement recently, and the industry seems to be beginning to pay attention to some thinking of middle-aged people.

In the final analysis, she feels that the reason for all this lies in the understanding of "old", if a society is not so afraid and afraid of "old", it will not be so disgusted, and it will not excessively pursue youth, beauty, and wrinkles.
Whether it is a film or a television work, it must always be based on society, and she feels that if everyone's way and attitude towards "old" changes, there may be more correct ways of opening and healthy expression in the artwork.
As an actor, when everyone sees you, Wu Yue feels that this sounds a bit tragic, and she also knows the hard work that many people insist on. There are too many stories in the industry, some people wait, some people don't wait, she doesn't want to be so tragic, sometimes she will tell herself, relax a little, relax a little, admit defeat, don't be so inevitable.
But she still has her own ambitions, the best team, the best script, the best lineup, she can act in it, which is what she expects.
But when not, she will use the ingredients in her hand and fry the dish at hand.
Whether it's acting, or your own life.
