Oriental Network reporter Xie Min reported on January 16: The urban emotional drama "This is Life" starring Liu Kaiwei and Chen Turing recently officially ended on Hunan Satellite TV. The show created a good result of maintaining the first ratings in the same period from the beginning to the end. The two leading actors have won the recognition of the audience with their vivid interpretations in the play. In the play, the supporting role of the mother of the heroine Ye Xiaobai (played by Chen Turing) also made the audience shine, although the role is not much, but the expression and lines are in place, she is the actor Yu Hui of the Shangying Actor Troupe.
Some viewers said that "This Is Life" tore the true side of adult life and "forced" young people to reflect on themselves. Yu Hui created a somewhat high-minded mother image in the play. The teacher's occupational disease makes her attach great importance to her daughter's "three views" training, and always educates her daughter to have high standards and strict requirements for herself, and strive to be upstream on the road of life. Due to the failure of their own marriage, they are particularly afraid that their daughters will repeat the same mistakes, and they have instilled in women the concept of life that "men cannot be trusted, and women should be self-reliant". However, she was extremely controlling and stubborn, not only failed to help her daughter solve the problem, but intensified her daughter's family conflicts, and she was painfully aware of her paranoia.
Yu Hui said: "Although I am also a mother of two children, the mother in this play is completely different from myself! "In reality, she and her children are like friends, giving them advice but never making choices for them when faced with the major issues of life." In fact, this character is more like my own mother," Yu Hui said. When she was young, her mother had the final say at home, and when she was in junior high school, her mother helped her plan her life, hoping to become a nurse when she grew up. Yu Hui, who had been a bit rebellious since childhood, did not "succumb" to the arrangement, but applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy, on the grounds that "because of his own preferences", he was even admitted to the exam, and since then he has rewritten the road map for life.
Many viewers first knew about Yu Hui from the role of Mrs. Wang in the TV series "Siege". In 1989, the TV series "Siege of the City", based on Qian Zhongshu's novel, was broadcast. In addition to the success of this drama, in addition to the wonderful original work, the outstanding performance of Many powerful actors such as Chen Daoming, Ge You, Lu Liping and so on is impressive. At that time, Yu Hui was able to stand out in the drama full of bones, which was enough to prove her acting talent and ability. After that, she participated in the plot "Burning Wedding Dress" directed by Shi Shujun, and also played the classical beauty Xiao Shufei in the TV series "Wu Zetian", playing against Liu Xiaoqing.
As her acting career entered an explosive period, in 1996 she won the Best Actress of the 3rd China Film Huabiao Awards and the Best Actress of the 17th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Film for starring in the film "Xilian"; in 2002, she won the Outstanding Actress Award at the 8th China Film Huabiao Awards for starring in the film "Qiao Feng"; and in 2016, she won the Best Actress award at the 47th Nashville International Film Festival with the film "Distant Engagement".
In recent years, the transformation dilemma of middle-aged actresses has been a common topic. Yu Hui said that her acting career never seems to have experienced a bottleneck. Although she once shifted the focus of her life to "husband and son", now that her children are also adults, she found that she still likes acting. The Golden Rooster and Huabiao double film queen said that now they pay more attention to the possibility of each role, "Even if I often play the mother of so-and-so now, but each mother also has her own personality, try not to choose duplicate roles." "As an actor, you have to let the audience and the market know that your play path is wide enough, and there will be different types of characters "coming to the door" to find you. Actresses always want to freeze their youngest and most beautiful side on the screen, but if a pattern always appears in the audience's mind, no breakthrough is equivalent to giving herself a frame, and the opportunity to naturally encounter a good book is also less.
Yu Hui told reporters that she is recently rushing to shoot the TV series "Pudong People's Home", which as a work of Shanghainese telling the "Shanghai Story", will present the 30th anniversary of Pudong's development and opening up and the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, and has been included in the national 100 key plays and major literary and art projects in Shanghai. This is also the first time in 35 years that Yu Hui has encountered a role from 30 years old to 80 years old, which is not a small challenge. "Pudong People's Home" takes the living conditions and fates of the Pudong indigenous family for three and a half centuries as the main line, and reflects the story of Pudong, a hot land that has made the world shudder. Speaking of Pudong, Yu Hui, who was admitted to the opera in 1986, came to Shanghai from Shenyang and almost witnessed the whole process of Pudong's development and opening up. In 1991, Yu Hui partnered with Zhang Xiaolin, an actor in the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe, to star in the film "Love Sprinkling Pujiang" directed by Shi Xiaohua, which told the story of the construction of the Nanpu Bridge in the context of the times at that time.
In addition to "Pudong People's Home", Yu Hui recently starred in the film "Deng Xiaoping Trail", playing Deng Xiaoping's wife Zhuo Lin; co-starring with Zhao Wenxuan in the film "The Strange Adventure of the Banquet"; mango film and television DRAMA "The Sea of Stars" and so on. Although she has reached the "retirement age", actress Yu Hui has no intention of stopping, just like she wrote in her WeChat circle of friends: "My job is to become the person in the role, I use their names to replace myself, giving me a different life experience." ”
