There are many well-known kung fu actors in China, I don't know whose face will appear first in everyone's mind? Is it Jackie Chan, Jet Li or martial arts rookie Wu Jing?
In fact, there is a martial arts actor who is also very good, has starred in many film and television dramas, but has been tepid, he is Yu Rongguang, a figure that often appeared in kung fu movies in the 90s of the last century.
In 1958, Yu Rongguang was born into an artistic family in Beijing, the son of a famous Peking Opera performance artist, Yu Mingkui.
Growing up in such an environment, Yu Rongguang developed a strong interest in Peking Opera from an early age. At the age of 12, Yu Rongguang was admitted to a Peking Opera troupe, and later a "War Horse Chao" made the audience remember him, and then starred in famous Peking Operas such as "Fa Zi Du" and "Changsaka Slope", and won many trophies.
At the age of 20, he transformed into a national second-class actor.
In 1982, his performance in Peking Opera made Xu Xiaoming look at it, and with the appreciation of Bo le, he began to shoot the movie "Kapok Robes".
Xu Xiangdong, the male protagonist of "Kapok Robes", is a doctoral student at the University of Paris No. 7 in France, and is also the most highly educated martial artist in the martial arts industry today, both literary and martial arts, but in the movie, his limelight is completely covered by Yu Rongguang.
Yu Rongguang was born with the temperament of Peking Opera martial arts, with a tall and strong body, a square face with righteousness, and a majestic taiwanese style.
In the film, he played Qi Tianyuan out of the trick fierce, strong martial arts, several martial arts scenes are personally on the battlefield, the flexibility of the body is not affected by the tall figure, the image is good, the film was released quickly after the circle of fans.
Xu Xiaoming saw the potential of Yu Rongguang, and later when filming the second film "Mirage", he abandoned Xu Xiangdong and let Yu Rongguang be the male protagonist, and also played the supporting role of Ah Mao in the film.
Because of the blessing of the novel, the story of "Mirage" is full of twists and turns, and the character image is also excellent, so it was very popular after its release, and Yu Rongguang became a household name.
In the 2019 hit drama "Qing Yu Nian", Yu Rongguang as an old star made the audience shine.
Although he played Shaun, although he did not appear until the second half of the TV series, he was closely related to many characters in the play, had a special identity, and was a deeply hidden master.
Yu Rongguang's so-called tepidness is just a low-key, and on the basis of strength, Yu Rongguang absolutely dares to say these two words.
