On December 12, according to media reports, the famous actor and director Tu Men died in the early morning of December 12 due to illness at the age of 61, and Zhou Ziyang, director of "Old Beast", confirmed the news.
According to reports, Tu men were diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer last month, and finally returned to Hulunbuir at the end of last month, and it is reported that Tu's teachers walked very peacefully.
After Tu's death, many friends in the circle sent articles of condolences, and Hui Yinghong, who had appeared on stage with Tu at the Golden Horse Awards, first wrote "I can't believe it, it's hard to accept," and then sent another one that read, "I'd rather believe that the old beast is just asleep... All the way to the end"
Huang Xuan wrote: "Last month we were still promoting the movie together, and I was as tough and humorous as ever! I didn't expect you to leave so suddenly. It's an honor to have a short time with you and it's a pleasure to get to know you! Teacher Tu has gone all the way, and I will miss you. ”
Huang Xiaoming sent a long text recalling the story of working with Tu on "The Last Truth". He wrote: "I am sad. We only shot "The Last Truth" together at the beginning of this year, and now that the movie is about to be released, it's really really hard to hear that. In fact, we began to cooperate as early as the time of "Deer Ding", and since then I have always respected the acting skills of Tu Men's teachers, so I have always wanted to find opportunities to cooperate with him again and learn. So at last year's Golden Rooster Awards, I invited Teacher Tu to star in our movie for the first time. During the filming of "The Last Truth", the two of us and Yan Nijie Qingzi and so on, everyone would always get together to eat and discuss the plot and characters. It is still difficult to accept this news, the loss of Tu's teachers is the loss and regret of our entire film and television industry, but Tu's love and pursuit of film art will always be remembered. Tu men teachers for eternity! I also hope that the family of The Teacher Tu will mourn. ”
It is not difficult to see Huang Xiaoming's sadness from the text, he and Tu have known each other for a long time, and it is he who invited Tu to participate in "The Last Truth".
Writing here, I can't help but think of a past event at the end of 2017, when the roadshow promotion of "Old Beast" was released, when Tu's teacher and director Zhou Ziyang were on the roadshow together, we had a brief exchange, in the interview, Tu's teacher answered two questions that everyone would be very interested in.
The first is anecdote at the Golden Horse Awards. At that time, the Golden Horse Awards Tu won the Golden Horse Award for Film Emperor with "Old Beast", but when they gave the camera before the award, Tu fell asleep in his seat, and after waking up, he took the Film Emperor and was rumored to be a good story. So why are they asleep? Tu revealed that although the award ceremony was in the evening, the guests were pulled over at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and then they had been queuing up, walking the red carpet also had to queue, tossing and turning for a long time, so when the award was awarded, they were a little sleepy and couldn't help but fall asleep.
The second question, Tu's performance in "Old Beast" is indeed very good, the performance is very accurate, and the role of Lao Yang is portrayed into three points. We asked him the secret of creating the character, and Tu replied: "Lao Yang actually has everywhere, and people who get rich overnight can come out anywhere, but what to do after getting rich, I didn't understand." Because the pursuit of spiritual and material neglect of the spiritual level, how to be a father and husband, by him messed up, so Lao Yang is a relatively rough person, IQ is not high, emotional intelligence is low, and the two young men in the sales building can still fight, a little self-measured. Such people actually have them all around us. As for why the role can be shaped so wonderfully, Tu said that being an actor is to observe life and observe the characters, and when needed, it can be taken out to use it to shape Lao Yang, and the most important point is that there is no performance trace.
Finally, I would like to say that everyone is very sad when Teacher Tu leaves, but I hope that after calming down, I can remember Teacher Tu in the work, and I also look forward to his upcoming movie, I believe there will be excellent performance.
