Cheng Yu once played the bandit "Xu Da Ma Stick" in "Lin Hai Snow Plain", the secret agent leader "Gao Bin" in "Cliff", and Ma Hanshan, the director of the Beiping Civil Affairs Bureau, in "No War in Beiping", with a rich and vivid screen image.
Speaking about acting, he said: "The characters I can play have some connection with my life, and I can't agree to act without feeling things." ”
Cheng Yu is a northerner, with a heroic and straightforward side in his bones, and he took over to play "Lin Hai Xueyuan" because the background of the story is in the northeast, and the cultural background is in line with himself.
In addition, Cheng Yu's appearance and temperament are very suitable for playing bandits, and the average fat man is always amiable, but Cheng Yu crawled and fought in society when he was young, and he cultivated a strong figure, and there was a god in his eyes, not angry and threatening.
At that time, the teacher of the Hal Ice Drama Theater took a fancy to Cheng Yu's banditry and said, "Someone must play the bad guy."
And this sentence also pointed out Cheng Yu's future drama path.
In 2011, director Liu Jin invited Cheng Yu to play the villain Gao Bin in "Cliff", and Cheng Yu's principle of taking over the scene was: "Every role has its own shadow." ”
Liu Jin thought about it, and his heart was half cold.
Unexpectedly, after reading the script, Cheng Yu liked the role of Gao Bin very much. "Insidious and cunning, people are afraid, but the double quotient is high, the business ability is strong, and the lines are good, I like it!" That's it! ”
In "Cliff", Gao Bin is the chief of the Police Department, alert and cunning, he shows that he likes Zhou Yi very much, and at the same time he is full of vigilance and tests everywhere.
Zhang Jiayi said: "Gao Bin's eyes make me shudder, and as soon as I see him now, my heart is particularly scared, he seems to be able to see through everything about me." ”
With his wonderful performance, Cheng Yu won the Huading Award for Best Supporting Actor.
"Cliff" is still popular, and another character with a villain color is handed to Cheng Yu. This time, Cheng Yu directly picked it up. Because the screenwriter is Liu Heping, because the actors who are partnered are Chen Baoguo, Ni Dahong, Wang Qingxiang, Jiao Huang and other well-known old drama bones.
Cheng Yu plays Ma Hansan, who is the deputy director of the Northern Civilian Food Allocation Committee, who survives in the cracks, loves to flatter high-ranking officials, and looks like an official dragon.
However, this person does not lose his true temperament, and on weekdays, a "bastard king and a bastard" is full of jianghu style.
At the end of the story, Ma Hansan is extremely disappointed in the Kuomintang, and he cooperates with Fang Meng'ao to distribute grain, expose corruption, and change the characters from bad to good.
During the filming process, Liu Ye was convinced by Cheng Yu's acting skills, "He acted very well, and at the end of the day, he came out a lot (acting), which made you particularly sad about this character." ”
The so-called fairness is in the hearts of the people, Cheng Yu debuted for many years, although the fame is not great, but the roles he has created are classics, and his acting skills are not only recognized by the audience, but also by peers.
In 2012, Cheng Yu wore a cotton coat and jeans to receive the Huading Award for Best Supporting Actor, with a simple style and no petulance.
Cheng Yu admitted that he has not been able to fully integrate into the show business circle, and feels that many people are too hypocritical, "What do you mean in the literary and art circles!" ”
After filming, Cheng Yu likes to eat and shop with his friends, go to a fly restaurant, meet fans for group photos, he never put up a shelf.
Such a down-to-earth and simple character is related to his growth experience.
In 1957, Cheng Yu was born in an ordinary family, and after graduating from junior high school, he went to the countryside to join the team, worked with working people all day, cultivated the fields and planted seedlings, fed chickens and ducks, and formed a hard and simple style.
After becoming an actor, Cheng Yu once had a sense of guilt, he felt: acting does not need a cost, take the bag to the crew, play a good role, the bag contains money and go home.
It is too easy to make money in this way, so Cheng Yu eats with friends and always rushes to pay the bill.
Because of his straightforward and heroic personality, Cheng Yu has made many good friends in the show business circle, such as Ding Jiali and Li Youbin.
When filming "Tree Ridge", the crew's car almost fell into the cliff, the men and women on the car were panicked, only Cheng Yu was calm and calm, he directed everyone to cooperate to push the cart, and then sent someone to stop the car behind to avoid traffic accidents.
Such behavior made the heroine Ding Jiali admire Cheng Yu.
In 1999, Cheng Yu met Li Youbin when filming "I Am a Policeman", the same is a good actor, the same is the northern Man, the two saw the same thing, Li Youbin commented: "Cheng Yu this person acting is too crazy, I am a bit overwhelmed." ”
Cheng Yu hates to mix circles, so he has not signed an agency so far, and he mainly relies on friends to take over the play.
He played the great aunt Jin Bingzhong in "The Valley Is Yellow", because director Li Wenqi is Cheng Yu's big brother and his artistic leader, and the two have a very good personal relationship.
In addition, Kan Xiaolong, the producer of "Field of Hope", and Li Jianping, the producer of "Tree Ridge", are all good friends and brothers of Cheng Yu, and it is precisely because of them that Cheng Yu has continued to play and his career has risen steadily.
Today, the 65-year-old Cheng Yu holds the Feitian Award for Best Actor and Huading Award for Best Supporting Actor, and has achieved certain results in his career and has lived a semi-retired life.
And he took over the filming of "Ace Troops", perhaps for the sake of friends, in the play, Li Youbin and Zhang Zhijian are old friends of Cheng Yu.
In the play, Cheng Yu plays the deputy commander Xiao Changsheng, who has a loud voice, a straight personality, and is dedicated to considering his comrades-in-arms.
Xiao Changsheng applied for 10 military school places for his soldiers, but he applied for demobilization and returned home, he did not love the barracks, but he loved his comrades too much, so he was willing to leave.
When the veterans leave, the recruits can come forward. Only to see Xiao Changsheng report to the squad leader with tears in his eyes: "The last task given to me by the troops is to leave." ”
There is no unbroken feast in the world! Xiao Changsheng in the play will leave the army, Cheng Yu outside the play is slowly aging, and the audience in front of the screen is also growing up and getting older.
Time cannot stay, but good works, truth, goodness and beauty will always remain in people's hearts and be passed on.
