He is Li Si in the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Zhang Sanqiren", he is the funny priest in the movie "I am not a medicine god", he is also the Huishi of "The Vertical and Horizontal of the Great Qin Empire", he is the old drama bone Yang Xinming.
On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he was Yan Shunkai's golden supporting role, leaving behind an excellent comedy that made the audience laugh.
On the screen, he is also a "thousand-faced actor", creating a memorable role.
Yang Xinming's facial features are very similar to those of another actor, Jin Shijie, but their life experiences are very different.
From many years of art, Yang Xinming has countless representative works, but when he became famous, he was more than half a hundred years old, from a small actor to the present step by step, how did Yang Xinming become the favorite of many famous directors?
After reading Yang Xinming's story, you will have a new understanding of the word actor, and you will also understand why he is called a golden supporting role.
Looking at Yang Xinming's appearance alone, you may not be able to see that he is a rugged and heroic Shaanxi Hanzi, Yang Xinming was born in Xi'an in 1957, his appearance and family are very ordinary, he would not have thought that he could one day eat the bowl of rice of an actor, and when he found that he had the potential to be an actor, he was close to the age of standing.
When he entered the drama theater as an actor, Yang Xinming found that his colleagues around him were all young people in their teens and 20s, compared with him, he was almost an older actor.
Perhaps it is precisely because he feels that he has a disadvantage in age that Yang Xinming has worked so hard to make up for his shortcomings with strength.
Among the actors in the Xi'an Drama Theatre, he is neither the most handsome nor the youngest, but he is the most willing to work hard, talented and willing to work stupidly, and it did not take long to be recognized by the audience, from not knowing how to perform at all to being skilled in acting, Yang Xinming made rapid progress.
In 1986, the Western Film Studio prepared to adapt Jia Pingwa's novel "The Man of the Chicken Nest" into a movie, named "Wild Mountain", and then looked for excellent actors everywhere in Xi'an to audition.
When the director team came to the Xi'an Drama Theatre to select actors, they immediately caught a glimpse of Yang Xinming, who had a simple temperament and excellent acting skills, and assigned him a role named Ah Cheng.
In the play, Ah Cheng is an ordinary farmer, the role is not much, Yang Xinming is not the protagonist of the movie, but this movie is of great significance to him.
In that era, filmmaking paid attention to reality, and actors had to "live" before starting filming, and Yang Xinming ran to the countryside with the main actors to experience life before filming.
In order to pursue the sense of reality, they wore peasant clothes and learned to plow the land to do farm work, and the director team originally only arranged for the actors to experience a week of life.
But because the snow closed the mountain, the cars from the city could not enter the village, and Yang Xinming and other actors stayed in the village for more than a month, eating and living with the farmers.
The temperament is more and more similar to them, so that the director team is dumbfounded when they come to pick them up: "These ones are all gray-headed, which is the actor and which is the farmer?" ”
The film was released to rave reviews and won the Golden Rooster Award that year.
The experience of going to the big screen for the first time has a deep impact on Yang Xinming, he knows what a good creation should be, and an actor should have life experience and a strong sense of faith to make a good work.
It is precisely because of the experience of experiencing life for a month that they performed the roughness and vicissitudes of that yellow land, and Yang Xinming has completely fallen in love with performance since then, becoming an out-and-out "idiot".
That year, Yang Xinming was 29 years old.
Most actors at this age have a sense of crisis: they are getting older, but they have not yet been able to catch fire, eager to find an opportunity to prove themselves.
But Yang Xinming was very calm, turned back to the stage of the drama to polish his acting skills, and after a few years of precipitation in the small theater, Yang Xinming starred in "Trick-or-Treating Force" and met Cai Ming, who has not yet become the queen of poisonous tongues and is young and beautiful.
Cai Ming felt that Yang Xinming was very joyful and invited him to make sketches with him.
Yang Xinming did not think much about it, thinking that the sketch was also part of the performance, and he started comedy in his spare time.
Teacher Cai Ming not only has a poisonous mouth, but also a very poisonous eye, yang Xinming is indeed a good material for being a sketch actor, and it did not take long to walk to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In 1993, Yang Xinming and Yan Shunkai collaborated on "Zhang Sanqiren", which showed his face in front of the national audience.
The first time he stepped onto such a big stage, Yang Xinming was not nervous, and even performed with ease, but he did not burst into flames overnight as Cai Ming expected.
In the hearts of the audience, Yang Xinming's performance is useless and faultless, and the language programs are more wonderful than one, and the audience does not remember him at all.
Yang Xinming did not give up hope, continued to rehearse and polish over and over again on the stage of comedy, and Guo Da Cai Ming and others went to the Spring Festival Gala again, creating works such as "Photography" and "A Wallet".
Twice on the Spring Festival Gala, the cooperation is a comedy industry bigwig, it is reasonable to say that Yang Xinming has no reason not to be red, but he just did not fire up,
Seeing that Cai Ming and Guo Da had become iron partners and became more and more famous in the sketch industry, Yang Xinming seemed to realize something and decided to quit the stage of the sketch and stop being a comedian.
Many people feel sorry for him, but Yang Xinming looks very open: "Maybe I really have a sense of comedy in me, but that is not enough to support me to become a comedian, I will play a comedy role in future works,
But I don't continue to perform on the stage of comedy, what I really love is serious performance, it doesn't matter if it's red or not, what matters is that I will continue to perform. ”
Therefore, Yang Xinming withdrew from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and continued to run his own dragon set in the major crews, no matter how small the role was, he carefully interpreted it and tried to find the shining points on the small people.
Years of acting experience has allowed Yang Xinming to have a wealth of experience, and his acting skills are constantly recognized, and in 1999, his role in "Jiu Jiu La Yue Hong" was well received and was selected as the first place for excellent TV dramas by the Pegasus Awards.
He has also gained years of deep cultivation in the field of drama, and his starring role in "Fate Breaks Ganjiang" won the first prize at the provincial art festival.
After having a masterpiece, Yang Xinming fell into another dilemma: the drama red man is not popular, although he does not chase fame and fortune, he also hopes to prove his acting skills.
In 2007, Yang Xinming was nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for his wonderful performance in the movie "A Sister's Promise", and most of the roles since then have been chen tonggu in the main drama: "The Marriage of My Father and Mother", and Huishi in "The Vertical and Horizontal of the Great Qin Empire", all of which are yang Xinming's carefully polished roles, although the acting skills are passed, but the popularity is not high.
In 2009, the appearance of director Ning Hao made Yang Xinming immediately get rid of this dilemma, and the road movie he prepared for "No Man's Land" found Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, two major comedy movie emperors, as the main actors, and then found Yang Xinming.
Ning Hao's reason is very simple: he wants to make a movie set in the northwest style, and he should find a northwestern man to reflect this style, and Yang Xinming just has that rough and heroic temperament.
Yang Xinming also wanted to participate in this excellent movie, so he rushed to audition, but after getting there, he was dumbfounded.
Ning Hao felt that although Yang Xinming had the temperament of the people of the northwest, and his acting skills did not have to worry, the appearance was too far from the image he expected in his heart.
The owner of this gas station is a villain character, and there must be a sinister force that makes the audience shudder, and Yang Xinming looks white and clean, and does not look like a bad person.
Ning Hao then found a photo from the Internet and handed it to Yang Xinming, telling him to dress himself up like this.
Yang Xinming looked at it, this person's skin was dark and rough, the only way to get close to him was to tan himself, so he sunbathed himself in the Gobi every day.
At the same time, Ning Hao also let him learn to kill pigs to practice "fierceness", Yang Xinming overcame his inner fear, ran to a slaughterhouse to practice killing pigs every day, and finally had the bad spirit of the villain after slaughtering more than a dozen pigs, which frightened the lead actors Xu Zheng and Huang Bo.
In order to shape the role, Yang Xinming constantly challenged himself, which led to the vicious gas station boss in the "No Man's Land" with a Shaanxi western dialect look in his eyes.
After playing positive roles for many years and failing to become famous, he became a hit and broke through the bottleneck in his career.
With a well-known representative role, countless excellent scripts have come to the door, this year, Yang Xinming has been 52 years old.
To outsiders, such success seems to have come a little late, but Yang Xinming told the audience that as long as he can still act, it is not too late.
After becoming famous, Yang Xinming did not only act as the main role in the role like other actors, he still starred in a variety of supporting roles, playing the priest in "I am not a medicine god", a sentence "God bless you" made the audience lean forward and backward,
He has played supporting roles in many film and television works such as "My Hometown and Me", "Send Me to the Clouds", "Thirty Only", etc., and uses solid acting skills to interpret the sadness and joy of small people.
The 65-year-old Yang Xinming is still engaged in the acting work he loves, and his good acting skills are inseparable from professionalism.
In Yang Xinming, we see the good style of an old drama bone, he has no scandals, no one to set, only step by step good works, he does not compete for fame and fortune, the only thing he cares about is the audience.
In this impetuous circle, Yang Xinming is a clear stream, and I hope that such a good actor who respects the audience and respects the performance can be healthy and interpret a more classic story for the audience.
