"From ancient times to the present, even the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, people still say dirty Tang dynasty stinky Han, not to mention our family! Who doesn't have an affair? Don't tell me to say it..." Although Jia Rong's face was beautiful, her expression was very shameless.
In front of the camera, this portrayal of Jia Rong attracted director Wang Fulin and he couldn't help but admire.
Yang Junyong, the actor of Jia Rong, also went out of the circle with the role of Jia Rong in "Dream of the Red Chamber", becoming the representative of the handsome little student in the eyes of the audience, and captured the hearts of a large number of people.
Yang Junyong, who has a natural love and endowment for performance, should have been a rising representative of the entertainment industry, but his experience confirmed the old saying that "life is in the world, and things are uncertain." ”
In the rising stage of his career, he experienced the three major sorrows of the life of losing his mother and father and losing his wife, and then died at the age of 57, leaving his son unaccompanied.
He sublimated each work with his strength, but his fate was gradually declining.
Born on January 1, 1964 in Beijing, Yang Junyong was born into an ordinary family, but he was not born an ordinary child.
In his early years, influenced by his parents, he was deeply obsessed with opera performance. I often follow my parents around listening to plays and learning plays.
When he was in school, just when the theatrical performance team was recruiting actors, he immediately signed up.
On the stage, a famous Peking Opera work "Red Lantern" made the selection teacher very surprised, and he also successfully joined the team.
After that, he began to tour various places of performance, officially starting his performance path.
Finally, the young Yang Junyong ushered in the first lucky moment in his life.
In 1978, the China Academy of Drama and the China Repertory Theatre jointly opened a children's art theater.
The new theater urgently needs young actors, and it is because of such a fortuitous opportunity that the selection teacher has taken a fancy to his remarkable acting talent and temperament among many students.
Yang Junyong got a precious opportunity to enter the Chinese opera for professional training and study.
At that time, the college entrance examination had not yet been restored, and the olive branch thrown by the Chinese opera to the teenager Yang Junyong undoubtedly became a stepping stone for the future journey of a higher life, and thus completely changed his acting career.
When he stepped into the door of the Chinese opera, Yang Junyong was only 14 years old.
Getting such an opportunity at a young age also made his pace on the road of acting more determined. He studied diligently in Chinese opera, honed his acting skills, and participated in one report performance after another and theater tour.
Often because of the profound interpretation of the role, the teacher is dazzled.
In the process of his studies, he also got to know Cai Guoqing, Xu Yajun and other classmates, and several teenagers struggled together on the road of performance.
It was undoubtedly a moment of light in his life.
"Bitter people, the sky is not worth it." Yang Junyong's day-to-day efforts have a chance to show in front of the audience.
In 1985, the much-anticipated "Dream of the Red Chamber" began to be cast, and Yang Junyong, who was still touring various places at the time, took the initiative to sign up for the interview.
During the audition, director Wang Fulin was immediately attracted by the white-faced students in front of him, and after the audition, Director Wang personally called Yang Junyong and asked him if he would like to take jia Rong's role.
Even during the later shooting, Yang Shuyun, the royal makeup artist of the Dream of the Red Chamber, saw him and quipped: "His face does not need to be powdered, and the makeup effect will come out after two laps outside the door." ”
In this way, Yang Junyong smoothly entered the crew of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and began to prepare for filming.
On May 2, 1987, the broadcast of "Dream of the Red Chamber" caused a sensation in the film and television industry, and the warm response made Ouyang Fenqiang, Chen Xiaoxu, Deng Jie and other young actors popular in one fell swoop.
Yang Junyong also left a deep impression on the hearts of the audience with the role of the handsome little student "Jia Rong".
That year, the young Yang Junyong was 21 years old, which was the take-off of his acting path.
Then, the major crews quickly discovered the young man's burst of acting talent and extended their hands to him.
The voices of the audience, the favor of the directors, and the popularity of the works are all announcing the great future of this young man.
However, the moon has clouds and sunshine, and just when Yang Junyong's acting career is booming, there are difficulties in the family.
Those years were Yang Junyong's most busy and tired years.
In 2011, Yang Junyong filmed "Taihang Mountain", and he was shining in his career in front of the camera.
But I didn't know that at home a hundred miles away, the family was silent around my father's cancer notice.
But in order not to affect Yang Junyong's work, in the struggle, they chose to hide from him.
During the period, it was Yang Junyong's wife who ran back and forth to take care of the elderly, taking on the heavy responsibility of the family behind his back and letting him rest assured.
She brings solace and great strength to the family and keeps life going smoothly.
Blessings are incomparable, and misfortunes are not alone. Another bad news came at home: his wife was also diagnosed with cancer.
Her tired work and travel bring hope to the family, but she loses her health in the constant work.
At this time, the originally difficult family was even more difficult to sustain, but considering the delay in the contract of Yang Junyong's crew, she resolutely chose not to inform.
It was not until the eve of his wife's surgery that Yang Junyong received a call from his wife's sister.
When he received the call, he was filming in the gap, and when he heard the news that his wife was seriously ill, he was stunned, and he almost fainted in front of his eyes.
The crew just happened to help him behind his back so that he wouldn't collapse to the ground.
At that time, when they were filming in a cave in Shaanxi, he entered a cave and silently suffered and wept alone for the change of family.
The filming process of the crew could not be delayed, he did not tell anyone about this matter, even Li Wei, who was a director, did not know it.
In this way, he forcibly endured the back pain and worry in his heart, and after completing his role, he rushed to the hospital to visit his wife for surgery.
Who knew the first thing to rush home, and then learned the news that his father was seriously ill, and the double blow made Yang Junyong almost unbearable
stress.
But under pressure, he thought of his son, who was about to go to college, his attentive wife, and his parents who raised him as an adult.
The firm voice in his heart told him: he can't give up, he wants to support this family!
But he is not only facing his sick family, but also his son who is about to study abroad, tuition, medical expenses, living expenses, and high expenses
These expenses require him to continue to make films to earn.
So soon after, he was back on the crew.
Between the family and the crew, he ran in two places, running back and forth, and took on everything hard.
It is gratifying that even in such a gray situation, my son is still diligent and hardworking, and he has been successfully admitted to a British university with excellent results and has the opportunity to study abroad.
At the moment when he got his son's acceptance letter, Yang Junyong excitedly hugged his son and kept silently reciting "Good boy... Good boy. ”
The rush of life did not make him cry, but at this moment, the tears came out uncontrollably.
The son's contention is a light in this family, and whenever he recalls his child, Yang Junyong always shows a happy smile
But at the same time, misfortune also came.
His wife, who had been undergoing chemotherapy many times, plummeted in physical condition, and the hospital issued a final notice of critical illness.
"Your lover's life is less than half a year." The doctor's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shattered Yang Junyong's heart and extinguished his last hope.
He came out of the hospital in a trance with a critical illness notice, returned home, and secretly hid in the kitchen, where he couldn't stop crying to consume his inner pain.
Perhaps it was heaven's pity, under the treatment of Chinese medicine, the wife miraculously recovered.
Later, the son also returned from school, Yang Junfeng helped his weak wife wait at the airport gate to greet, the family of three finally reunited, they hugged each other tightly, excited for a long time can not speak.
However, the beauty is always not long-lasting, the disease has swept through the body of the father and wife, and the mother is also overworked by taking care of the family.
In just five years, his father, mother and wife died one after another, which was undoubtedly the most painful blow in Yang Junyong's life.
In Yang Junyong's later interview, he also recalled bitterly: If the actor is selected again, I will never choose it, my conscience will not go over, I am sorry for my parents, and I am sorry for my wife and children.
During the day, let the work fill the life, at night alone, remembering the loved ones who left, no matter what can not be recovered, it becomes a permanent regret.
Whether it is yang Junyong's glowing youth or the youth who experienced hardships.
What has been with him for a long time and has never thought of giving up is filming.
Whether it's filming for dreams or supporting families.
In each work, he tried his best to interpret the role well, and completed a classic interpretation, the role was fresh and changeable. It left a deep impression on the hearts of the audience.
Following the role of Jia Rong in "Dream of the Red Chamber", he was invited to the crew directed by Wang Fulin to star in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Playing the role of "Cao Pi" in the play, he changed the image of a handsome teenager in the Red Chamber and transformed into the small-minded king of the Three Kingdoms.
Cao Pi's mean, unkind, tyrannical and cruel character is fully revealed through performance.
Yang Junyong played with the famous performance artist Wang Liangbo to perform the classic plot "Seven Steps into Poetry".
Yang Junyong Cao Pi sat in front of the case, looking down majestically at his brother Cao Zhi, with an intolerable look on his face and full of hatred.
As soon as Cao Pi opened his mouth, the roar of anger filled the entire court: if you can't take seven steps into a poem, kill it immediately!
Then, Cao Zhi, played by Wang Liangbo, is not humble and unobtrusive, just seven steps, and made the touching and profound song "Originally born from the same root, he is too anxious to fry." ”
After watching this clip, you will be shocked by Cao Pi's hardships and cruelty.
There is no doubt that Yang Junyong used his vivid acting skills to play this tyrannical king.
This role is also used to improve the audience's familiarity.
Just when his villain image penetrated the hearts of the audience, he changed his character personality, from a treacherous villain role to a positive role, and began to appear in anti-Japanese dramas.
In the anti-Japanese epic TV series "China's Decisive Battle of Destiny" directed by Wang Jin, he profoundly interpreted the patriotic feelings of the older generation.
When filming in Yan'an, the role he played was extremely profound.
Some people even quipped that they "mistook Yang Junyong for the famous performer Lu Qi." ”
Yang Junyong also replied humorously, just through the steps of Lu Qi's predecessors.
Yang Junyong not only has extremely high requirements for performance, but also shows a good quality of diligence and sincerity in his work.
From "The Decisive Battle of China's Destiny" to the later "Taihang Mountain", he starred in this type of anti-Japanese drama and always did a lot of work
in order to adapt to the requirements of shooting.
During the filming of "On the Taihang Mountain", he found a large number of historical materials, studied day and night, and memorized all the relevant documents.
He recalled that at that time, the shooting requirements in the crew were very strict, and director Li Wei often carried out surprise shooting, requiring the actors to be familiar with all the relevant content of the role.
Sometimes Li Wei will even temporarily add dramas, asking Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin, Yang Junyong and other important actors to improvise and shoot.
Yang Junyong worked hard, and director Li Wei randomly drew a scene for him to perform, four minutes of lines, he was able to shoot uninterrupted from beginning to end.
Later, in "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", Yang Junyong cooperated with the famous actor Zhang Guoguo to perform a story of fighting wits and courage.
The official Wang Tingzan, played by him, showed in detail his characteristics of being a cautious and careful official.
In the play, Wang Tingzan, who was hiding in the study, heard that his boss who colluded with him had betrayed him, and in a fit of anger, he reported the truth to Ji Xiaolan, played by Zhang Guoguo.
The image of quick and cautious mind has been vividly played by Yang Junfeng.
This is another breakthrough in his role interpretation career, and he has proved his good acting strength to the audience in such breakthroughs again and again.
Classic works are displayed in front of the audience, and the characters are perfectly interpreted.
But Yang Junfeng himself is becoming more and more lonely, he has experienced a major separation in life, and he can no longer bear more.
Maybe it was the fatigue of life, or maybe it was the blow of his family leaving, which made him unable to get out of that shadow for a long time.
On October 31, 2021, Yang Junyong died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 57.
In Yang Junyong's life, there are sorrows and joys, there are clutches, but there is no doubt that he has indeed dedicated his life to the cause of acting.
But what he left behind is not only those classic film and television works, but also his serious attitude towards performance, the tenacious spirit of life, and the deep love for his family.
In the interview program "MaLan Blossoms", hosted by Wang Fang and Wang Weinian as a guest, he expressed the heartache of a lifetime, and also expressed the tenacity and hope that will never be extinguished in his heart.
In the interview, he said that in the rush to take care of his family and film, he never thought of giving up, but said to himself: You must be patient. Hold the pain in your heart and continue to work hard day by day.
When talking about his wife, he said to the camera with tears in his eyes: Please men care for their wives, because women are very strong and sensible, and she will not tell you no matter how hard she is. ”
He was such a respectable actor, but also a respectable son, father, and husband.
But life is impermanent and does not change according to people's wishes.
Learn to cherish the body, often nostalgic, in order to live up to the people around you and this lifelong.
