Yu Hewei is really a very interesting actor.
It is difficult for you to see two very different qualities in an actor, but they are vividly reflected in Hewei.
In "The Alliance of Military Masters", Yu Hewei is a generation of tyrants Cao Cao. Arrogant, confident, conceited and suspicious, he strategizes to win thousands of miles away.
Even in the face of such a cunning person as Sima Yi, Cao Cao was conceited to be able to fully grasp it, and he looked at the wolf with an eagle and paid no attention to his wolf.
Cao Cao's arrogance is vividly reflected in Hewei. I don't know, I still think that Yu Hewei is such an arrogant person in life.
In "The New Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei, played by Yu Hewei, has a gentle personality, endures humiliation and burdens, and has the ambition to win the world, but he also knows how to protect himself. In order to find an opportunity, I am willing to be a man and know how to be patient.
For the sake of Jiangshan, he could take care of Maolu three times, and Bi Gongbijing invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain. You can also throw away your own children for the sake of love.
If they don't know Yu Hewei, the audience will also think that he is such a gentle person in his life.
Conceited and suspicious, gentle and elegant, the two different personalities are perfectly integrated with Hewei. He was both the arrogant Cao Cao and the easy-going Liu Bei. After the integration, he became the only Yu Hewei, a shadow emperor with a thousand faces.
We're talking about his story today.
First, adversity grows, never accept defeat
In 1971, Yu Hewei was born into an ordinary family in Fushun City, Liaoning Province. Yu Hewei's childhood was very hard, there were a lot of brothers and sisters in the family, his father died since he was a child, and he grew up on the pull of his mother and sister.
At that time, there was no such thing as family planning, and Yu Hewei's family was not rich. Just as the so-called poorer and poorer, Yu Hewei's parents gave birth to nine children, and Yu Hewei ranked as the oldest, the youngest.
His father Yu Hewei died when he was three years old, and Yu Hewei did not have much memory of his father.
He only remembered that his father loved to drink, and every time he came home, he was drunk, and at this time his mother would complain about him, saying that he did not care about the family, and only knew outside all day, like a "second-rate son".
At this time, the father always did not say a word, looked at the children lined up on the kangtou, and smiled and took out the food in the food box. Fill the mouths of the brothers and sisters with a mouthful, and dream of incense.
In fact, that era was really very difficult, without this bit of wine, Yu Hewei's father himself did not know how long he could last. Every day is very hard, but I can't see my head, so I can only numb myself with alcohol.
Even so, Yu Hewei's father still could not survive his children to grow up, and Yu Hewei died when he was three years old.
In order to raise several children, the mother dragged the family every day and rode a broken tricycle to the street to sell sweet potatoes. Her mother was selling on the side, and her sister was responsible for taking care of her brother next to her, and in this way, Yu Hewei grew up day by day.
Yu Hewei was very sensible, he knew that it was not easy for his mother and sister to pull themselves up, and he took all of this to heart.
When the brothers and sisters grew up, they joined the work and began to earn money, and the situation at home improved compared to before.
In the 1980s, various popular cultures poured into the mainland, and Yu Hewei fell in love with singing at this time. Yu Hewei's academic performance was not ideal, and the first time he took the middle school entrance examination, he ended in failure.
Yu Hewei was not willing to fail, he knew that reading was his only way out, so he decided to be angry and try again. At that time, the family was poor, and the money earned by the family would be enough for living expenses, and the family could not even get five yuan of supplementary school fees.
Yu Hewei's studies fell into a dilemma, but at this time, Teacher Wu, who was studying at Yu Hewei, saw his heart, and he was touched by Yu Hewei's ambitions and decided to personally tutor him in his studies.
"The five-dollar coaching fee will be deducted from my salary."
In this way, Yu Hewei entered Teacher Wu's door, and under the guidance of Teacher Wu, Yu Hewei began to study without distraction. But perhaps Yu Hewei was not born to learn material, and the second middle school examination ended in failure again.
Yu Hewei was disheartened, and he was not willing to accept his fate like this, but what was in front of him was a naked reality.
When Hewei decided to give up, the teacher who tutored him with his homework made a suggestion, a normal school in Fushun City, Liaoning Province, began to recruit boys, three years after graduating from secondary school, he was also assigned a job, and the teacher wanted Yu Hewei to try it out, and after graduation, he could become a music teacher.
Yu Hewei did not want to disappoint the teacher, so he obediently applied for the normal school. But Yu Hewei's ambitions are far more than that, he vows to be a roc bird, spread his wings and fly high, and the normal school is his first step.
The opportunity came, that year, the Fushun Drama Theater recruited new people at the normal school where Hewei was located. After knowing the news, Yu Hewei's heart began to stir, he loved singing and acting since he was a child, determined to be an actor, and the theater recruited people. Isn't that your own best chance?
With his acting talent, Yu Hewei was successfully admitted to the Fushun Drama Theatre. It was an iron rice bowl, decent, and profitable, and my mother and sister had a lot of face outside.
But just when the family's life was about to get on the right track, Yu Hewei made a surprising decision, he decided to resign from the Fushun Drama Theater and go to the Shanghai Theater Academy.
After Yu Hewei told his mother and sister the news, he was strongly opposed by his mother.
"The theater is stable and stable, and can often go out to perform, what is not good, can not leave!"
In the face of his mother's aggressiveness, Yu Hewei knew that what the family needed most now was their own stability and ability to make money to subsidize the family. Even if you are admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, tuition is a big problem.
Each year, the accommodation fee plus tuition and miscellaneous fees are at least 700 yuan. The family can't even get five dollars of make-up tuition, let alone this huge amount of money.
Just when Hewei was in a dilemma, Yu Hewei's sister stood up. She supports Yu Hewei's decision because she knows that if Yu Hewei stays at the Fushun Drama Theatre, it may be like this for the rest of his life.
But if you are admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, then the future yu Hewei will face a broader sky, and even change his destiny.
Most importantly, she had faith in her brother.
In order to make up for her brother's tuition, her sister made a very heart-wrenching decision, she sold the only valuable object in the family, the piano, for four thousand yuan, and finally solemnly handed it over to Yu Hewei.
"Save some flowers, my sister has no ability, she can only give you so much."
That day, Yu Hewei cried, he knew what the piano meant to his sister. At that time, he secretly swore that in the future, he must mix up a personal appearance and let his sister and mother live a good life.
In the end, Yu Hewei was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy as he wished.
Second, admitted to the Chinese opera, a soaring sky
Life at the Shanghai Theater Academy is wonderful, but Yu Hewei has no time to enjoy his university life. On the one hand, he has to study, on the other hand, he has to go out to work, earn some living expenses, and reduce the burden on his family.
For fifty yuan, Yu Hewei also worked as a calendar model, he wore a swimsuit, and co-produced with "bikini" beauties. In the end, Yu Hewei did not see this calendar, and he felt that his face was hot.
Time passed quickly, Yu Hewei took classes and worked at the same time, and four years later, he successfully graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy.
After graduation, Yu Hewei starred in many film and television dramas.
In 1999, Yu Hewei starred in the TV series "Cao Cao" and officially entered the show business circle.
In 2000, he starred in the urban emotional drama "Shenzhen Woman"
In 2003, he starred in the anti-war drama "The Sky of History", with which Yu Hewei began to be famous in the circle.
What really makes Yuhe great fire is the TV series "Three Kingdoms" starring in 2010 and the TV series "Army Division" starring in 2016.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei, two characters with completely different personalities, were played by Yu Hewei. The audience also relished, will Yu Hewei become the first person in the history of Chinese film and television dramas to play Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan?
Third, the three stages of acting
If you want to talk about Yu Hewei's acting skills, but also talk about his personal understanding of acting skills, I think acting skills are divided into three stages.
Stage 1: Show the mood and sorrow of the character.
The vast majority of small fresh meats are at this stage, staying in the clumsy imitation of the character, only making some basic expressions, such as joy and sorrow.
The reason why many audiences don't like to watch small fresh meat acting is because their performance is superficial. Whether it is mood or sorrow, or action, it gives people a very contrived feeling, and it is acted out at a glance, which is unnatural.
The question is, the same is the joy and sorrow, do you do action, why some actors can play deep into the hearts of the people, but some actors only stay on the surface? This brings us to the second stage of the actor's acting skills.
The second stage: practice makes perfect, performance temperament.
The reason why we watch some acting actors act is very natural, because their performances are no longer superficial, but pay attention to shaping the temperament of the characters and strive to integrate into the entire TV series.
At this stage, the actor has accumulated enough experience that expressions such as joy and sorrow can be expressed very naturally.
At this time, the actor is no longer satisfied with just acting, but to figure out the role, what kind of temperament is the character he is performing?
A cowardly person, when facing things, will certainly behave with a low brow and a promise.
A brave person, in the face of difficulties, will certainly behave positively and bravely.
A gentle person, when dealing with things, will certainly behave gentlely, like a spring breeze.
The actors at this stage, the temperament of the lord in shaping the character, are integrated into the entire film and television drama. Actors who make their performances look unobtrusive and unpretentious, and who can do this, are even if they enter the room.
The third stage is to shape the character and establish the sect.
Actor Wang Yanhui once said in an interview that acting has reached a certain point, and it has become instinctive to be moody and sad and shape temperament.
There is no need to deliberately ponder, after reading the script, you can be confident, and the role of the performance can make the audience call the acting school directly.
But as excellent actors, these "old drama bones" are no longer satisfied with only shaping the role, but go into the heart of the characters, to figure out their practices, their psychology, and really create a flesh-and-blood person in the play.
These characters seem to really exist in reality, which can make the audience feel empathy. Feel the joys and sorrows of the characters, feel the extraordinary of the characters, and feel the things that the characters experience.
What's more, you can bring the audience's emotions into the play, and when you watch it, the audience themselves will laugh, cry, and sad, and experience the path that the character has traveled. There are only a few people in today's entertainment industry who can do this.
Some actors will also integrate their understanding of performance into the role, and finally open the sect, such as Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, etc., without exception, they have become masters of world film history.
In my opinion, Yu Hewei is such an actor. Unlike the above masters, Yu Hewei's performance is not limited to a certain role and a certain personality, but blossoms everywhere, like a monster, one person with a thousand faces, playing film and television dramas in applause.
Yu Hewei may not be able to reach the level of Chow Sing-chi, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, but he also completely entered the hearts of the audience with his superb acting skills, and was deeply rooted, so that the audience will always remember him.
A person with a thousand faces and a great face will surely leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese film and television dramas.
