Pioneer Valley Film and Television Entertainment Review
Editor|Pioneer Valley Film and Television Entertainment Review
He is a clear stream in the entertainment industry, does not rely on hype but strength, and has never had a scandal in the industry for decades,
At the height of Hong Kong film and television, he became the best among the "wicked".
He is actor Yu Rongguang.
Most of Yu Rongguang's life is dedicated to the acting career he loves, and he rarely sees news about his private life,
But in 2021, his married wife filed for divorce in court.
Although he was very reluctant, Yu Rongguang still chose to let go.
Yu Rongguang, who concentrates on earning money to support his family, is clean and has never had an affair with a beautiful woman.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is already perfect,
But why does his wife of 35 years insist on divorcing him?
Does Yu Rongguang in reality really love work more than his family?
01
In 1958, Yu Rongguang was born in Beijing, and his fate made him grow up in a famous Peking Opera art family in Beijing.
Since he was a child, he has developed a strong interest in Peking Opera.
At the age of 11, his Peking Opera life began in the Fenglei Peking Opera Troupe.
After more than ten years of hard training, Yu Rongguang experienced the training and tribulations endured by Cheng Dieyi Little Bean in "Farewell My Concubine".
Under the cultivation of the Peking Opera Troupe, Yu Rongguang showed his talent and potential.
He endured pain and practiced persistently,
As a result, he developed an excellent martial arts technique.
His hard work was recognized.
Soon he gained widespread acclaim and popularity on the Peking Opera stage.
Yu Rongguang, who was only 20 years old at the time, won the title of national second-class actor and won many young martial arts awards.
In the 80s, a group of theater fans came every day just to be able to enjoy his wonderful performances.
His talent has attracted the attention of important figures in the Peking Opera industry.
His influence and popularity continued to rise, and he became the premier Peking Opera martial artist in Beijing.
But no one could have imagined that this authentic Beijinger would emerge in Hong Kong films in the 90s and become the "light of villains".
In 1982, the movie "Shaolin Temple" was shockingly released, quickly set off a sensation around the world, and set a huge box office success.
At that time, movie tickets cost only a dime a piece, but the box office of "Shaolin Temple" was as high as 160 million.
Yu Rongguang looked at Jet Li's performance on the screen very envious, he longed to have his own place in the field of martial arts,
He resolutely decided to apply for the Beijing Film Academy, but was disappointed.
Coincidentally, the famous director Xu Xiaoming was also inspired to come to Beijing to find actors for the new film.
His gaze was attracted by Yu Rongguang on the stage.
Full of joy, he found Yu Rongguang and asked him to participate in his new work "Kapok Cassock".
Just when Rong Guang was ready to devote himself to the shooting of his first movie, he found that movies and singing were completely different worlds.
In the crew, Yu Rongguang is not a famous role in Peking Opera.
No one knew and ignored him, even mocking him for only half shaving his hair.
In the middle of the night at minus tens of degrees, he was frozen in thin clothes, and he had to endure unfamiliar Cantonese,
He angrily felt that he was not being a "martial arts star".
After filming this play, he secretly vowed never to film again.
But I didn't expect that when the movie was released, it continued to be praised.
This movie is even known as the most interesting martial arts film after "Shaolin Temple".
Yu Rongguang saw his appearance, and the "oath" he said before was never mentioned again.
Since then, he has forged an inseparable fate with the movie.
Since then, Yu Rongguang has been favored by various movies and has starred in many film and television works.
Such as the well-known "Blood and Tears", "United Police Detective", "Codename Jaguar" and so on, which have a good box office reputation.
In 1993, Yu Rongguang ushered in his first peak moment in the prosperous Hong Kong film industry.
This is his chance.
When the audience sees "The Undefeated Rise of the East", they can think of Gu Changfeng played by Yu Rongguang.
He used his acting skills to play the role alive, and Gu Changfeng, who has a distinct personality, is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience at just one glance.
It is very difficult to cooperate with the two popular actresses Wang Zuxian and Lin Qingxia, which shows how good Rongguang's strength is.
This collaboration has taken his fame to the next level.
Slowly he completely gained a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry, and his time has arrived.
Yu Rongguang played the villain Cheng Feng in "Super Plan", working with Zhou Huajian and Michelle Yeoh.
There is more than one handsome role, Yu Rongguang played the role of a bandit professor in the movie "Stormtrooper Rage Street".
Even in a suit, his domineering cannot be covered.
The audience gradually became familiar with him, and Yu Rongguang also became a representative actor of the villain.
Yu Rongguang played the villain gangster Fuguang in the movie "Letter to Dad".
This is one of his most successful villains.
He wears a long trench coat, dashing with arrogance, black sunglasses, snow-white gloves on his hands, and has a trace of perverted murderous temperament.
There are many scenes in the movie, and the sparring scenes are fluid.
Yu Rongguang and Jet Li brought great joy to the audience together.
This movie has also become a highlight moment in Yu Rongguang's acting career.
Yu Rongguang's acting skills are highly appreciated by "big brother" Jackie Chan, who played an important role in Jackie Chan's later film works.
Such as "Myth", "Big Soldier", "New Police Story" and so on.
Although his acting skills are widely recognized.
But he always only played a supporting role, and was nicknamed "villain professional" like Xu Shaoqiang, Zou Zhaolong and others.
This is far from his original ideal.
So, he made a bold decision.
02
As the 21st century approached, Hong Kong's film industry gradually fell into a trough, and Yu Rongguang began to shift his focus back to the mainland.
In 1997, 40-year-old Yu Rongguang returned to Beijing to start anew, transforming into a behind-the-scenes worker, involved in many fields such as directing and production.
Yu Rongguang directed and acted in his first TV series "Ping An Office", which was widely praised.
His acting career has entered a new stage, which has further strengthened his determination to become a director.
Subsequently, he successively directed series such as "Spring Water of One River", "Wolf Poison Flower", "Mufu Fengyun" and "Dance Music Legend", which won many important awards.
Yu Rongguang successfully opened his role as a director.
Whether it is modern, costume or anti-Japanese dramas, he can grasp it with ease and has a place in the Chinese TV drama industry. At the same time, he did not give up his identity as an actor.
In order to strengthen his major, Yu Rongguang studied for a master's degree, but this is far from enough,
After several years of hard work, Yu Rongguang then founded his own film and television media company - "Rongguang Film and Television Media Company".
In 2016, Yu Rongguang's influence in the world became more and more important, and he also had a name in the list of "Kung Fu Superstars".
In 2019, in the TV series "Qing Yu Nian", Yu Rongguang's figure also appeared.
He plays Sean, very mysterious, a master hidden in the green forest.
Yu Rongguang's performance, which has not been seen for a long time, is eye-catching.
After years of training, Yu Rongguang completely got rid of the shackles of the role and began to become comfortable in the TV industry.
Compared with blossoming in the entertainment industry, his acting career is booming, but Yu Rongguang's personal life situation is extremely low-key.
03
In 2003, Yu Rongguang's 74-year-old father was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, and doctors said that he might only live for half a year.
After being sentenced to the "final date", Yu Rongguang decided to take his father home and comfort him that it was not a serious illness.
He then traveled with his father often.
Also because of this white lie, his father Yu Mingkui actually miraculously lived for 7 more years.
But when his father died, Yu Rongguang was not by his side.
He was filming abroad, but he rushed back but could not see his father for the last time, which also became his lifelong regret.
Finally, Yu Mingkui passed away peacefully in 2010 at the age of 80.
Although Yu Rongguang is a full filial son in life, Yu Rongguang is not a "good husband".
In 1985, through the introduction of a friend, Yu Rongguang met his married wife.
In 1986, Yu Rongguang and his wife held a low-key marriage in Beijing and began their married life.
In order to support her husband's career, the wife resolutely chose to teach her husband and son to support his career.
But because Yu Rongguang's career focused on Hong Kong, the couple had to live apart for a long time.
The wife made great sacrifices.
Although he is often missing, Yu Rongguang is very dedicated to his wife's feelings.
In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, he has worked with countless actresses, but he has always been clean.
There has never been the slightest scandal.
A family that seemed "happy" to outsiders, but encountered a crisis in the year of Huajia, and finally scattered.
It is not difficult to see that the marriage of the two has long been in crisis.
Yu Rongguang has been busy with his career and cares little about his family.
In 2021, according to media reports, Yu Rongguang's wife filed for divorce by agreement with the court and froze Yu Rongguang's account.
and file a lawsuit, and the legal costs are also required to be borne by each of them.
As they get older, they could have enjoyed their old age in peace.
But Yu Rongguang has never been able to let go of his career, and is still active on the screen with the rhythm of 3~4 plays a year.
In 2021 alone, he participated in the filming of 10 film and television works.
For the divorce, Yu Rongguang did not agree at first.
But for the sake of his wife's happiness, he still compromised.
There was no mistreatment of the ex-wife in the division of property, as can be seen from the divorce agreement exposed.
The cost of accepting this case was as high as 120,000 yuan, from which it is estimated that the property divided between the husband and wife was as high as 25 million yuan.
At present, the two have completed the divorce procedures.
epilogue
Yu Rongguang has a brilliant career, but has lost the person he loves the most,
If you could have cared more about your family in your early years, the result might have been a different story.
I believe that Yu Rongguang will bring wonderful interpretations to the audience in the future, and I hope that he can find his own happiness.
