Who is Su Yu?
I believe that even friends who do not understand history have more or less heard of this name, the founding general of the People's Republic of China, who has experienced the glory of the birth of the revolution in his life, and the reproach on the battlefield is still talked about today.
Naturally, such a brave general Su Yu must use literary and artistic works to render and leave his great achievements.
Su Yu
In 1991, in order to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the Bayi Film Studio decided to bring the Battle of Huaihai, commanded by Su Yu, to the big screen, and as soon as the film came out, everyone praised the film's excellent production and the details of the film's description of the Huaihai Campaign.
In particular, Xie Weicai, who played Su Yu in the movie, has been unanimously praised by everyone, but what everyone does not know is that the reason why Xie Weicai can play Su Yu so wonderfully is actually because Xie Weicai and Su Yu have a legendary experience of divine intercourse.
As for the relationship between Xie Weicai and Su Yu?
Today's Spring and Autumn Hunt will talk to you about the legendary story between Xie Weicai and Su Yu.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > personally experienced the Battle of Huaihai</h1>
Speaking of the connection between Xie Weicai and Su Yu, it is completely inseparable from the Battle of Huaihai.
Because both experienced the real Battle of Huaihai.
It's just that Su Yu is the general of the battlefield, and Xie Wei is the captured people on the battlefield.
Xie Weicai
In 1948, after the outbreak of the Huaihai Campaign, Xie Weicai, who was only 7 years old at the time, and his family were separated on the way to escape, it is worth mentioning here that Xie Weicai's father was actually a major officer in the Kuomintang army, but on the Huaihai battlefield, the troops led by Xie Weicai's father were washed away by Su Yu, and the family had no choice but to pack up and flee.
When 7-year-old Xie Weicai accidentally separated from his family, he subsequently became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army along with other Kuomintang family members.
The young Xie Weicai did not know anything, and obediently followed the PEOPLE's Liberation Army to the asylum in Nanjing, and under the questioning of the People's Liberation Army, he learned that Xie Weicai's grandmother lived in a county near Nanjing.
So the cadres of the shelter entrusted Xie Weicai to a Kuomintang soldier, and the soldier also promised to send Xie Weicai home.
However, after seeing the soldiers of the Nationalist Army who were blind to money on the road, they snatched the road fare from Xie Weicai's hands, and immediately left Xie Weicai to run alone.
Helplessly, Xie Weicai was young and could not find his grandmother's residence, so he could only follow the nearby homeless people to start begging for a life.
In 1949, Nanjing was liberated!
After the People's Liberation Army entered the city of Nanjing, Xie Weicai, whose identity was blank, was once again taken in by the People's Liberation Army, and this time Xie Weicai decided not to go anywhere and stay in the Communist forces.
Subsequently, under the arrangement of the cadres of the shelter, Xie Weicai joined the cultural and industrial corps of the Twelfth Army of the Second Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and became a small literary and artistic soldier.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > can't get out because of their awkward status</h1>
Xie Weicai, who joined the literary troupe, finally had a place to live, no longer needed to wander around, and there was no fixed place to live.
When Xie Weicai first appeared on stage, he played a child of a poor family, and all he needed to do was cry and call his mother, but because of his young age and nervousness, Xie Weicai couldn't cry at all.
To this end, the head of the performance team gave Xie Weicai a high trick, and when performing, he could cry out if he thought more about his mother.
Xie Weicai was able to understand it at one point, and he shined in the performance, and the moving crying scene made the audience praise, and later Xie Weicai recalled this incident in his later years:
"This is the artistic enlightenment I got, and every time I perform, every role I play, I will pursue authenticity and emotion."
Perhaps it is also because of Xie Weicai's artistic pursuit that there was a great general Su Yu who later appeared vividly on the screen.
After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Xie Weicai followed the Peking Opera Troupe of the Volunteer Army to the battlefield and staged a classic play for the Volunteer Army, "The Case of The Beauty of the United States", in which Xie Weicai played Qin Xianglian's son.
It was in this performance that Su Yu and Xie Wei had their first real "interaction", and in the crowd watching the performance, there was a senior general with outstanding temperament and eyes who stood on the side of the person to watch the whole performance, and this person was Su Yu.
Although Su Yu met Xie Weicai, and Xie Weicai did not see Su Yu in person, the relationship between the two may have begun at this time.
After the end of the Korean War, Xie Weicai was transferred from the army and finally decided to transfer to the Shandong Provincial Repertory Theatre, but in that class-oriented era, Xie Weicai's origin was indeed slightly embarrassing.
As mentioned earlier, Xie Weicai's father was a Kuomintang officer, and Xie Weicai was a descendant of a Kuomintang officer, and he was not born well, but Xie Weicai joined the Platon's Cultural and Labor Corps at the age of 8, which is a real "old revolution." How to evaluate classes is really a difficult mistake for everyone.
Movie stills
Xie Weicai will not deal with this kind of thing in the face, plus people are honest, there has been no explanation, therefore, Xie Weicai has not joined the party, and the organization also because of this reason, can not let Xie Weicai play an important role, Xie Weicai even if he is aggrieved, he can only run in the major repertoire, the role is also dispensable, sometimes, not even a line.
In this way, Xie Weicai continued to play small roles in a mediocre way until 1989.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="57" > because Su Yu found relatives</h1>
In June 1989, Xie Weicai, who had been running the role of dragon set for nearly 40 years, finally ushered in a major opportunity for him.
The Bayi Film Studio sent a telegram to the Shandong Provincial Repertory Theatre inviting Xie Weicai to beijing to audition for a role as General Su Yu.
After receiving the invitation, Xie Weicai was very excited, packed his bags and stepped on the train to Beijing.
When Xie Weicai came to the Bayi Film Studio, the makeup artist dressed Xie Weicai up with the style of General Su Yu as required.
When Xie Weicai put on makeup, even the makeup artist could not help but sigh that Xie Weicai's appearance was almost the same as that of General Su Yu.
Xie Weicai was half-convinced, and came to a mirror to look at his appearance, which was indeed very similar, but in terms of expression, it was a difference of 108,000 miles.
General Su Yu dispatched troops on the battlefield of Huaihai, full of vigor, but Xie Weicai looked at himself in the mirror, the momentum was insufficient, just like an ordinary veteran, completely without the temperament of a generation of gods of war.
The director quickly saw Xie Weicai's problem, so he told Xie Weicai that the shape seemed to be very good, but he still had to work harder on the god and figure out the psychology of the characters in order to truly play the richness of General Su Yu.
Subsequently, Xie Weicai began to work hard, in order to play a good role in Su Yu, Xie Weicai went through all the materials about Su Yu, studied how Su Yu dispatched troops on the battlefield, how to deal with himself when facing millions of enemies, and how to not be humble and unobtrusive when difficult and backward, and turned danger into safety.
Finally, with the efforts of Xie Weicai, he successfully played the style of General Su Yu.
In the movie "Armageddon", although there are not many shots of Su Yu played by Xie Weicai, but a smile, micro-expressions, small actions and various characteristics of General Su Yu, Xie Weicai is hand to hand, not only praised by the national audience, even General Su Yu's wife Chu Qing is very recognized, and even bluntly said that the difference between Su Yu and Xie Weicai is really unclear.
In addition to the success brought by the role of Su Yu, the most worth mentioning is that Xie Wei found his relatives because of playing Su Yu.
At the beginning, Xie Weicai was separated from his family because of the Battle of Huaihai, and later Xie Weicai's movie was released, Xie Weicai's brother Xie Weixing bought a ticket to see the movie, and after watching it, Xie Weixing felt that the actor who played General Su Yu really looked like his big brother.
Su Yu Chen Yi
So Xie Weixing began to look for Xie Weicai everywhere, and after learning that The Xinmin Evening News in Shanghai had interviewed Xie Weicai, Xie Weixing rushed to Shanghai with his younger brothers and sisters to find comrades in the newspaper, hoping to get together with his brother through help.
Finally, under the matchmaking of the newspaper, Xie Weicai and Xie Weixing and their younger siblings finally met, and under the communication, they were even more certain that each other was their relatives.
After more than 40 years of separation, Xie Weicai's family was finally able to get together.
In his later years, when Xie Weicai recalled these things, he once said bluntly:
"Maybe this is in the dark, because of the Battle of Huaihai, I was separated from my relatives, but because I played the great general Su Yu in the battle of Huaihai, I was reunited with my relatives, if it were not for General Su Yu, I could not be reunited with my relatives, and the major events in my life were always closely linked to this god of war."
Fate is capricious, but fate is quietly approaching, perhaps the connection between Xie Weicai and Su Yu, they both can't say clearly!
