Wu Yue was born in Shanghai in 1972, and like the city, she was born with the genes of elasticity and softness. Her father was a calligrapher and painter, and Wu Yue was immersed in the fragrance of ink since she was a child.
When he was 6 years old, Wu Yue came into contact with his father's best seal carving art for the first time. A small seal contains the father's persistent pursuit of beauty and emotional belonging to life.
At first, little Wu Yue didn't like this seemingly boring skill. However, under her father's patient guidance, she gradually realized the charm contained in seal carving.
Carving one stroke at a time requires a high degree of concentration; And the finishing touch requires elegant and smooth lines. It's like writing a quiet poem, with sharp thinking and restrained emotions.
It takes a long time to practice a seal, and the slightest deviation during this period may fall short. Such a process seems to be boring, but Wu Yue feels a persistent aesthetic from it.
Under the influence of his father, Wu Yue slowly cultivated a character that was indifferent to fame and fortune and concentrated. When she was in middle school, her seal carving work won the gold medal in the national competition, which can be said to be well deserved.
At the age of 19, Wu Yue got his wish and stepped into the Shanghai Theater Academy that he had loved for a long time. Perhaps it was because of years of subtle nurturing that she chose to perform this seemingly brilliant but easily failed art.
Just like seal carving, the profession of an actor requires a high degree of concentration, extreme patience and perseverance. This is the best quality of Wu Yue's character. Born to be an artist, performance is the presentation and sublimation of another life.
In 1995, Wu Yue, who had just graduated from the opera, successfully joined the Shanghai Drama Theater and began her drama career. The grim stage atmosphere of the drama and the frequent role changes have trained her acting skills beyond the movie, making her more fascinating in the subtle expression transformation and the flow of complex emotions.
At first, Wu Yue could only play some supporting roles. But she doesn't care about gains and losses, and goes all out to interpret the inner world of each character. At that time, Wu Yue was not afraid of failure, she said: "I want to play every role alive, even if the audience is empty."
After several years of drama experience, Wu Yue has constantly broken through himself in the subtleties and gradually grown into a professional performer.
This also laid a solid foundation for her later role transformation on the screen.
In addition to the drama stage, Wu Yue also played the heroine for the first time in the TV series "The Story of Beijing Late Autumn" in 1995. Working with veteran actors has allowed her to improve the way she performs on camera.
In the following years, Wu Yue starred in many hit dramas one after another. Among them, in the 1998 TV series "Age of Peace", she brilliantly interpreted the role of the female war reporter "Wen Lu", which truly and vividly showed the flexibility and hardness of this professional woman's heart.
This also brought her the honor of Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Rooster Awards that year.
Years of stage experience and performance honing have made Wu Yue have a higher pursuit of acting skills and performing arts. This makes her unique charm different from those who rely on the appearance of the dress and forget the inner emotions.
It is precisely because of both internal and external cultivation that Wu Yue is both a family in drama and film and television dramas, which allows her to take a step forward on the road of acting.
In 1999, 27-year-old Wu Yue played the heroine "Mingming" in the drama "Rhino in Love" for the first time. This not only marks the further maturity of her acting skills, but also inspires her to think about feelings for the first time.
Wu Yue has always put his career first and rarely talked about his private life. However, the cheerful and bright role of "Mingming" made her realize that perhaps she also longed for the company of a soulmate.
The following year, a small-budget movie "Chrysanthemum Tea" changed Wu Yue's fate. On the set, she met Chen Jianbin , a two-year-old man. This top film student from Xinjiang is the screenwriter and director of the film, and his bookish atmosphere reveals a bit of mature and steady temperament, which is very in line with Wu Yue's imagination of his partner.
The two also have many similarities in reality, and gradually ignited the fire of love.
At that time, Chen Jianbin was not outstanding, but Wu Yue was deeply impressed by his talent and perseverance. She often said, "I believe in his power, and he is destined to be extraordinary." As a result, Wu Yue lived with Chen Jianbin in Beijing despite his family's objections.
She is willing to be a booster for his career, and often encourages him not to be discouraged; In life, she bears most of the financial resources, so Chen Jianbin can devote himself to creation without worries.
In fact, Wu Yue does not love Chen Jianbin as a person, but the power in him that has not yet been fully released. It is precisely because of her eager desire that Chen Jianbin later flew high.
However, feelings are inherently difficult to grasp. Perhaps, Wu Yue has paid too much, but he has ignored the balance of equality and mutual benefit in the relationship. This also laid the remote reason for the breakup in the future.
In 2005, Chen Jianbin succeeded in the TV series "Qiao's Courtyard", and his wonderful performance of the role "Qiao Feng" made him famous and became a first-line actor.
This play is undoubtedly his masterpiece since filming. In the crew, Chen Jianbin met the young and beautiful actress Jiang Qinqin. The two fell in love because of the play, and Chen Jianbin quickly empathized and chose to break up with Wu Yue.
The breakup letter was very simple, with only a few words. This was a huge blow to Wu Yue, who had been together for 5 years. She couldn't accept the way of breaking up like nothing, and she was very sad about Chen Jianbin 's change of heart.
At that time, Chen Jianbin and Jiang Qinqin's relationship heated up rapidly, and they frequently interacted to show affection, which deeply stung Wu Yue.
In fact, Chen Jianbin relied on Wu Yue's encouragement and support for many years, although he never expressed his position positively, he knew it. However, once the career is successful, the emotional balance immediately overturns.
Wu Yue invested too much in him despite his family's opposition, but he and his new love were fulfilled because of a play. The girlfriend's effort is obviously not proportional to the damage she gets.
A few years after the breakup, Wu Yue faded out of the screen and found his own healing on the drama stage. She was as fragile as a wounded mother bird. But in the end, he regained his strength with his inner resilience and continued to have such a place on the road of performance.
It wasn't until 2016 that the TV series "The First Half of My Life" once again ignited the second spring of her career.
In 2016, after years of adjustment and precipitation, Wu Yue was eager to detonate himself again on the screen. At this time, her friend and national goddess Hai Qingli overrode public opinion and strongly recommended her to play the villain "Ling Ling" in the annual drama "The First Half of My Life".
At first, Wu Yue hesitated, after all, the role of the junior was too subversive of her previous image. But Haiqing said firmly: "I believe that only you can perfectly interpret the dark and fragile qualities in her."
So, Wu Yue took on this challenge with trepidation. In order to interpret the complex heart of "Ling Ling", she repeatedly scrutinized different aspects of the character's personality. This woman has a desperate desire for resurgence, so even if she is defeated repeatedly, she is also stirring up stormy waves in the game of love.
Wu Yue deeply realized that "Ling Ling" was actually a loser in a hard coat, and her almost crazy behavior came from inner fragility.
This attempt for the role of junior was an unexpected success. With her outstanding performance in the play, Wu Yue showed a new look, she successfully challenged herself, and her performance was broadened as a result.
The audience also witnessed the transformation of the role from a quiet supporting actress to an explosive female second. "The First Half of My Life" once again reached the peak of her popularity, and also demonstrated her growth and summary as a powerful actor.
Time flies, Wu Yue, who has had ups and downs in the entertainment industry, once again attracted the public's attention with great tension at the age of 50.
In 2017, she proudly verified the existence of her new boyfriend. Different from the love affair of girls in their 20s, she has realized a unique "old and strong" charm.
At present, Wu Yue still lives in the long river of performing arts. She did not launch high-profile works, but she also quietly showed herself on many stages and film and television dramas, and continued to make breakthroughs in connotation performance.
She has passed the age of confusion, since she chose to continue to work this road, she should be because of this emotional belonging and spiritual sustenance.
Looking back on the past many years, Wu Yue has experienced many ups and downs in life, and she understands the truth that success and cost coexist. Now, she has looked down on those once important fame and fortune positions, and has turned to find what she wants in her work.
This calmness is the embodiment of years of precipitation; This calmness comes from the understanding of the essence of life.
So, at the intersection of life at the age of 50, Wu Yue showed a kind of charm that would rather bend than bend. It is a kind of fragrance after accumulation, a fragrance after refinement.
She uses her life to interpret the unique charm of the profession of actor, and also interprets the unique agility and tenacity of women in the long river of time. This is where Wu Yue's most unique style lies.
