In 1990, the "List of Fengshen Gods" was launched, and it instantly swept the country.
In that era of lack of special effects, many scenes had to rely on the whimsy of the staff to shoot live.
For example, the actor of "Tu Xingsun" in the play is a special actor specially found by the crew.
His name is Yu Huadong, and his actual height is less than 1.3 meters.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
Yu Huadong was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, to parents who were workers in state-owned enterprises.
His parents gave birth to a total of 6 children, Yu Huadong is the oldest, and he has 4 older brothers and 1 older sister.
Strangely, everyone else in the family was normal, except for Yu Huadong's body.
Went to the hospital for examination only to find that Yu Huadong had congenital dwarfism.
His height is therefore forever fixed at 1.25 meters.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">02</h1>
I have to say that height has a great impact on Yu Huadong.
After he finished elementary school, he never went to school again.
Yu Huadong did nothing until he was 20 years old, and the mother looked at her son and felt that she could not let him idle any longer.
So he went around asking people around, sent his son to the sugar and wine company where he worked, and found a salesman's spare job.
The job is not complicated, and Yu Huadong can often free up a lot of time.
When there was nothing to do, Yu Huadong ran to the cinema to watch the play.
Thanks to his height, the small Yu Huadong is not remarkable, and he uses his "advantage" to sneak into the cinema when people are busy.
Without buying a ticket, naturally there would be no seat for him in the movie theater.
Yu Huadong sneaked into the background and watched the movie across the screen.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
Yu Huadong's association with film and television work originated in 1985.
At that time, an acrobatic troupe in Guangzhou performed at the Jianghuai Grand Theatre, and Yu Huadong wanted to repeat the trick after knowing it.
Only this time, Yu Huadong failed to succeed, and the theater staff found him.
The younger brother of the leader of the acrobatic troupe saw this little man, and his eyes lit up.
He invited Yu Huadong to join the acrobatic troupe, and Yu Huadong's parents also thought that their son would have nothing to do anyway, so it was better to find a job to make a living, so they agreed.
Less than half a year after leaving home, Yu Huadong could not bear the pain of training and ran home in ashes.
It just so happened that the movie "Frog Girl" was in the preparatory stage at the time, and there was a dwarf character in it.
The director heard that Yu Huadong was a suitable person, so he tried to contact him.
After the performance, Yu Huadong got a few thousand pieces of remuneration, and he was very happy.
Turns out acting is so profitable? Yu Huadong has since aspired to be an actor.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">04</h1>
After Yu Huadong filmed "Frog Girl", many directors knew such a number one person.
From then on, whenever they needed a special actor, they would find Yu Huadong to play.
Gradually, Yu Huadong was also a little famous, starring in the movies "Revenge of the Great World", "Thirteen Sisters of the Heroine", "Fengtian Dart Bureau" and so on.
If the most famous role in Yu Huadong's career must be Tu Xingsun in the 88th edition of the "List of Fengshen Gods".
Not only is it in line with the image of Tu Xingsun in terms of height, but also the lustful personality of greedy and afraid of death has also been brilliantly interpreted by Yu Huadong.
In order to perform a scene of drilling soil, Yu Huadong had to shuttle back and forth in the tunnel dug by the crew in the winter.
The fire of "Fengshen List" also brought fire to Yu Huadong, a "special actor".
Coupled with the gimmick of height, Yu Huadong appeared in many newspapers for a time, and also won the title of "the first dwarf star in the Far East".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">05</h1>
Although Yu Huadong starred in 5 episodes of "Fengshen List", he received nearly 20,000 yuan in performance fees.
As a result, Yu Huadong became a "10,000 yuan household".
At that time, he also found a wife who was like a flower through blind dates.
His wife was a normal person, and after marriage, she bore him a son.
It was the beginning of happiness, but Yu Huadong gradually fell into a dilemma.
It has always been others who have been looking for him to act, and Yu Huadong is also accustomed to such a life, which leads him to never take the initiative to introduce himself to the director.
Yu Huadong also insisted on being an individual actor and refused to sign a contract with an acting company.
Originally, Yu Huadong could play a limited role, plus he did not sell himself to the outside world.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people looked for Yu Huadong to act, and eventually cut off the source of income.
Because of the height restriction, Yu Huadong is difficult to do other jobs.
In order to make a living, he had to take some commercial performances in bars and nightclubs.
However, this income does not seem to improve Yu Huadong's life.
Today, Yu Huadong lives in a small alley with a harsh environment, relying on the 300 yuan low guarantee handled by the neighborhood committee.
From the original "ten thousand yuan household" to today's "low-security household", Yu Huadong's encounter is inevitably sighing.
