Some netizens would like us to introduce Mr. Yu Guichun, an actor from the former Shanghai Film Studio.
In fact, this is also the plan we made a long time ago.
We hope to be able to re-introduce the good actors and artists who have gradually been forgotten by everyone to everyone.
But it's a very difficult job to do.
Because before that, the media had very limited publicity for these old artists. This results in them presenting very little information on the web.
This is in stark contrast to what popular traffic stars wear today and what they eat today will be hyped and reported.
For example, Mr. Yu Guichun, which we are going to talk about today. When I was looking up his profile, I found that there was not only very little information about him on the Internet, but also a lot of it was wrong. For example, Mr. Yu was actually born in January 1933, the same age as the actor Niu Ben of the same factory. However, on the Internet, including on Douban, Mr. Yu's age is written in December 1935, and the avatar is also wrong, which is obviously the shape of Gong Xibin, an actor of the long film studio, in the movie "White Lotus".
Why do I say that Mr. Yu's date of birth is January 1933? Based on what? My basis comes from the Shanghai Film Studio Actors Troupe, the unit where Mr. Yu had been working before, and according to the information provided by the Actors Troupe of the Shanghai Film Studio, Yu Guichun was born in January 1933. The ox beebeth was born on September 7, 1933.
As the real home of these old artists, I think the registered information cannot be wrong. So why does the Internet write that Mr. Yu was born in 1935? We don't know.
The Actors Troupe of the Shanghai Film Studio is a place full of talents, and Yu Guichun is not the most outstanding one among them. But in his acting career, he has also left us with many vivid and vivid screen images, which are endlessly evocative.
Yu Guichun was born in January 1933 in Yantai, Shandong. He joined the revolutionary ranks very early and became a member of the army's literary and industrial corps. Later, he also participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, performing for the soldiers who fought bloodily on the battlefield filled with gun smoke.
Yu Guichun is tall and handsome, and is a good material for being an actor. And his voice is also very good, crisp and pleasant, and has a metallic texture, which is very similar to the voice line of our favorite voice actor Tong Zirong. So he was quickly favored by the studio.
In 1960, Yu Guichun became a member of the actor troupe of the Shanghai Film Studio. He was 27 years old.
After he entered the factory, the first movie he participated in was the star-studded "Burning Plains".
This film brings together many "hard lizi" and old drama bones of Shanghai Film Studio, such as Wei Heling, Qi Heng, Cheng Zhi, Jiang Shan, Zhang Yan, Feng Qi, Yu Fei, Gu Yelu, Di Fan, Lu Shan, Zheng Min, Deng Nan, etc., as well as outstanding young actors Kang Tai, Zhu Xijuan, Iron Bull, Gao Quan, Niu Ben and so on. Formed a very strong performance lineup.
Yu Guichun can join such a creative group, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to learn in practice.
In the film, Yu Guichun plays the role of a small worker named Yang Biao. When the male protagonist Lei Huanjue explained to everyone that "the combination of the two words of workers is a heavenly word", he said, "This gentleman has knowledge and a good solution!" "Yang Biao's character is relatively vague, but this line left a deep impression on me. Because of this actor's voice, it is really very good to listen.
Yu Guichun's performance in "Burning Plains" is decent, and compared with the liveliness of his little friend Niu Ben, there is still some gap (Niu Bian plays another small worker, Li Kui, and Yang Biao, who are always together, inseparable). But his performance is naturally simple and not blunt, and it is not easy to do this for the first time on the screen. I think this is not unrelated to the guidance given to him by other veteran actors in the crew.
I think it is precisely because Yu Guichun's performance in "Burning Plains" is not bad, so he was given the opportunity to play the male lead.
In 1963, the Shanghai Film Studio was preparing to shoot the movie "Silkworm Girl", and director Ye Ming selected him to play the role of the male protagonist Tao Jiulong.
The movie "Silkworm Girl" is a women's play, mainly telling the story of how Tao Xiaoping, played by Youjia, became a master of silkworm breeding with the help of Liu Qiaolian, a sister-in-law played by Zhu Manfang. But Yu Guichun's performance in it is also in place. Tao Jiulong, played by him, has a thick and stable personality. Yu Guichun brings Tao Jiulong to life through natural and subtle performances. And the cooperation with the two heroines is also very tacit.
In this movie, Yu Guichun's appearance is also very handsome, and there is a very simple masculine beauty.
Then in 1965, he played the male lead Li Xiaosong in the movie "They Are Growing". Unfortunately, the film did not have an impact on the audience, and even many people did not see the film. Subsequently, because of the arrival of the special decade, Yu Guichun, like other actors, also faced a state of no drama to act. It was not until 1976 that he returned to the camera and successively starred in films such as "The Big Knife" and "The Man Who Lost His Memory". Especially in "Sons, Grandsons and Seeds", he partnered with performance artist Wang Danfeng and played Ding Zhifu, which made a deep impression.
After the time entered the 1980s, Yu Guichun, like many actors in the studio, ushered in the peak of his artistic creation. He successively played Jiang Zhanyuan in "Dawn", in "Ah! He played Wang Xi in "Cradle", Ma Hou in "White Lotus", Captain Wang in "The Man Who Sows Happiness", Yang Asi in "Shoot, Send Him Off", Zhong Laiwen in "Flying Son-in-Law", and Xiahou Mo in "Huatuo and Cao Cao".
Among them, there are positive characters and villains, but Yu Guichun can distinguish them well. Among them, Ma Hou in "White Lotus", this shameful traitor, was portrayed by him with a vivid image and vivid characters, compared with Tao Jiulong in "Silkworm Girl", it was almost like two people.
Subsequently, he created the roles of Qiu Sheng, Smuggler, Tao Junchang, Zhang Tianbao and other films in "The Storm of Moon Bay", "Magical Sword Tower", "CodeName 213", "The Deal Under the Noose" and so on. Among them, The commander of the Tao Army in "CodeName 213" was interpreted by him as both divine and physical, and I still remember his classic line: "The communist army seems to be clairvoyant and tailwind, but we seem to be blind, and we are led by people's noses all day long in the ravine, how is your intelligence carried out?" ”
Yu Guichun has been acting in the film studio for more than 30 years. But he never got red. I think there are two reasons for this. One is Yu Guichun's opportunity, which is not too good. Despite his tall stature and good voice, he has never met a character who is particularly memorable to the audience.
Secondly, although his appearance is handsome, he does not have too many memory points, and his recognition is obviously not very high compared to his peer calf. As an actor, it is not easy to be remembered by the audience, and it is also difficult to become popular.
In addition, Yu Guichun's film career began in the early 60s, but soon, their group of young actors at that time met a special decade, like him and Liang Polo, Zhu Manfang and many other actors of the same period, were wasted a lot of good time. And when they were able to re-shoot, they clearly missed the best age group.
But in any case, although Yu Guichun is only a green leaf actor in the Shanghai Film Studio, he has also made his own contributions to the development of Chinese films. Although most of the characters he portrays on the screen are supporting roles, those characters are also vivid and vivid. So until now, there are still so many fans who still remember him and still worry about him, which is a matter of reason.
Today, we especially want to restore to you a real Yu Guichun, a person who once silently shined in the world of light and shadow. Now he's 88 years old. But what about the elderly? Because after he retired, he rarely appeared in public, and in recent years, he has not been seen in various activities held by the Actors troupe, so we really don't know much about his specific situation. Here, I also hope that through our platform, I can ask for help from almighty netizens, friends who know Mr. Yu's recent situation, and welcome everyone to tell us more fans through the message area. Thank you again for your attention, we will meet again tomorrow at the same time.
