"Old Liu Lao Liu, eat as much as an ox, eat an old sow without looking up." As soon as the lines come out, there is a picture.
This sycophantic smile, smile with a pleat, and carefully please people is the role of Grandma Liu played by Sha Yuhua.
In 1987, "Dream of Red Mansions" received numerous praises as soon as it was broadcast.
Whether it is Bao, Dai, Zhao, Feng, or the supporting roles in it, they all deeply portray and restore the people in the dream of the Red Mansion, which is impressive.
And Grandma Liu entered Jia Mansion three times, from a rural old woman who came to fight the autumn breeze to finally save Wang Xifeng's daughter Sister Qiao, she played a little person who loved to take advantage of small but knew how to take advantage of the situation, and the soul of the character was sublimated.
Sha Yuhua shaped the classic, how did she get involved with the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions"?
Sha Yuhua was born in November 1930 and has had a talent for acting since childhood.
After graduating from junior high school, she joined the army and performed with the army. After a few bumpy years, Sha Yuhua was assigned to work in the Shenyang Railway Propaganda Team Railway Cultural Troupe and became a full-time drama actor.
During her work in the Railway Cultural Troupe, Sha Yuhua often played some village women because her image was not particularly good.
Years of experience in drama performance have allowed Sha Yuhua to exercise a good skill.
Although he played some supporting roles and did not become popular, Sha Yuhua was very satisfied with the status quo.
Until 1984, Wang Fulin cast for "Dream of Red Mansions".
Every character in the play, he tries his best to show the best side to the audience.
Although Grandma Liu is a supporting role, she has several particularly important scenes, and the scene when she enters the Grand View Garden is against a group of protagonists.
This role must be open, clever, and it is really not easy to play well.
At that time, someone recommended Sha Yuhua to Wang Fulin, and Sha Yuhua was 54 years old at the time.
As soon as Sha Yuhua entered the group, Wang Fulin asked her to read a few lines of Grandma Liu, which is the classic sentence "Old Liu Lao Liu, eating as much as an ox, eating an old sow without raising her head." ”
Her puffing out cheeks was very funny and funny, and Wang Fulin recognized her on the spot, and gave the role of Grandma Liu to Sha Yuhua without hesitation, "Not bad, you will play Grandma Liu." ”
Sha Yuhua was flattered, for her, being able to star in a big drama like "Dream of Red Mansions" is a blessing from heaven.
Since then, she has made up her mind that she must play this role well, and Sha Yuhua has done a lot of homework for this.
In order to keep herself in a good state of Grandma Liu, she did not "enter the play" on weekdays, often making people in the crew laugh.
This mother-in-law is not simple, she will definitely be able to play Grandma Liu well.
At that time, Sha Yuhua was not particularly old, her hair was still black, and her skin was not so dark.
In order to play this role well, she tanned her skin, and deliberately did not brush her teeth, and her gray hair was mixed with the tail of a yak with real hair.
As long as the role needs it, she will cooperate to the best of her ability.
In the third episode of the play, Grandma Liu, played by Sha Yuhua, appeared, and the simple smile and the characters were one.
After entering Rongguo Mansion, facing the grandeur of the mansion, Sha Yuhua's eyes were very in place.
There are surprises and uneases, and there are three points of joy and anticipation.
Facing Sister Feng, she raised her hand and waved her eyes respectfully.
Every little detail depends on the character.
Her grandson Ban'er, who was playing with her at the time, was only 5 years old, and Sha Yuhua wanted to coax him from time to time.
However, under the guidance of Sha Yuhua, the young actor acted quite well.
The front is just a small test of the cow knife, and the next one entering the Grand View Garden is Grandma Liu's most important play.
She opened up, gave up her face and did not want to be burdened, and let Jia Fu and others make fun and amuse.
When filming the scene where she rescued Sister Feng's daughter Sister Qiao, she cried more than a dozen times.
Sha Yuhua didn't have any complaints, every time she didn't pass, she was looking for her own reasons, so that the next time she cried more "true feelings".
In the end, she presented a Grandma Liu who was particularly in line with the character, which was very difficult.
In addition to "Dream of Red Mansions", Grandma Liu also starred in film and television works such as "Idle Sister Ma", "Anecdotes of Ten Thousand Families", "The Case of the Great Song Qi" and other film and television works, which is a veritable old drama bone.
Years later, Sha Yuhua still has a deep nostalgia for the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".
On the twentieth anniversary of the broadcast of "Dream of Red Mansions", the actors of that year reunited.
Everyone's image is maintained very well, and everyone still looks like the original.
And when Grandma Liu Sha Yuhua appeared, she was wearing a big red coat, which looked very energetic, and this coat was specially prepared by her for this event.
The person Sha Yuhua wants to see the most is actually her "grandson" Ban'er.
But Ban'er's actor was studying abroad at this time, and she thought that the other party would not appear on the scene.
When Zhu Jun asked Ban'er out, Sha Yuhua was surprised, tears welled up in her eyes, and she held Ban'er's hand tightly and was reluctant to let go.
It turned out that Ban'er specially took leave to rush back for this meeting, and Sha Yuhua could be regarded as fulfilling her dream.
In 2007, the bad news came, Chen Xiaoxu died of breast cancer, and Lin Daiyuxiang died.
After Sha Yuhua learned the news, she was very sad and couldn't help crying bitterly, but she didn't expect that her old woman in her seventies hadn't left yet, but the young Chen Xiaoxu died forever.
She lamented the impermanence of the world, in order to commemorate Chen Xiaoxu, Sha Yuhua specially enlarged and washed out the photo of herself and Chen Xiaoxu, and hung it in a conspicuous position at home to protect her well.
Unexpectedly, in the second year after Chen Xiaoxu left, another bad news made Sha Yuhua grief-stricken, and Li Yue, who played Ban'er, died in a car accident at the age of 29.
Now more than 30 years later, Sha Yuhua is 92 years old, has three sons and a daughter, has a happy life in his later years, is very healthy, and is smiling in interviews, and his spirit is not inferior to that of young people.
When it comes to playing Grandma Liu back then, Sha Yuhua is particularly proud, and Grandma Liu's classic role seems to be tailored for her.
A small person, a generation of classics, Sha Yuhua is worthy of being a national first-class actor.
