The reason why many people know Yu Yuexian, in addition to the "Xie Bigfoot" she plays, she also has a special identity - Zhao Benshan's sister-in-law.
Ma Lijuan is Yu Yuexian's cousin.
Because of this layer of identity, there is a lot of speculation about the role of "Xie Dazu", and many people think that it is precisely because of Zhao Benshan's "care" that Yu Yuexian can play this role.
This is certainly one of the reasons, but if you simply comment on it, then it is a little too unfair for the moon immortals.
Today we will talk about the story of Yu Yuexian.
One
Yu Yuexian, born in 1971 in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, is an authentic rural baby, and the vulgar preference for sons and daughters has made her suffer enough.
Her father belonged to a family of teachers, and more than twenty people's teachers were born within three generations, so her father hoped that she would become a glorious people's teacher from an early age, and her mother was an ordinary workshop worker.
They hoped to have a son, but three girls came in a row, until the fourth child gave birth to a boy, the parents gave almost all the favor to this child, and the old man in the family, Yue Xian, took on most of the housework, cleaning, feeding chickens and ducks, feeding pigs, beating pig grass, and so on.
At this time, the Yu Yuexian family did not know that their life would be because Ofe Yuexian had entangled with a man named Zhao Benshan thousands of miles away, resulting in a qualitative leap.
In 1979, the 25-year-old Zhao Benshan was at a critical moment in his life, because of the dissolution of the cultural propaganda team, Zhao Benshan lost his job and returned to the village to become a farmer.
Because the old house has been ripped off by the second brother and built a new house, Zhao Benshan, who has nowhere to go, can only live in the production team, and it is most appropriate to describe Zhao Benshan at that time with "one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry".
Later, with the intervention of Gan Mama and others, she married a woman named Ge Shufen and gave birth to her daughter Zhao Yufang at the end of the year. At this time, Yu Yuexian, who was just 8 years old, had already shown her acting talent.
In the cold winter, the cement pool next to the old-fashioned pressure well in the middle of the yard is filled with water, kicks off the shoes, barefoot, and Yu Yuexian stands in the pool to perform the lotus dance, playing the role of lotus flowers, ducks, etc., freezing and shivering, but enjoying it.
The colleagues in her mother's workshop especially liked this lively and cute little girl, often let her perform the program, And Yu Yuexian was not afraid of life, and sang "Red Lantern" and "Planting Pumpkins" generously.
This experience allowed Yu Yuexian to break the shackles of fate and embark on the path of an actor, but at this time, she still had to wait, and Zhao Benshan wanted to become famous earlier.
Two
After getting married, Zhao Benshan seemed to have broken the curse of fate on him, and his luck began to get better.
The commune's literary and art team was set up again, and Zhao Benshan threw down his hoe and followed the troupe to the north and south, and this time he completely changed his fate.
Behind every successful person is countless unknown sweats, and Zhao Benshan is no exception.
At that time, Zhao Benshan was still just a little brother in the team, and the pillars of the literary and art troupe all had their own unique skills, Zhao Benshan's brain was full of life, and when he was fine, he always pestered the big guys to learn something.
He learned erhu with Zhang Haitao and taught the deputy regimental commander Tian Zicai to transfer the two, and these talents became the cornerstone of Zhao Benshan's entertainment empire.
In 1982, Zhao Benshan directly moved the northeast with "Three Strings", and also attracted the attention of Jiang Kun, bringing him to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, thus becoming a generation of sketch kings.
Zhao Benshan's work is also getting busier and busier, which has become the main bane of his and Ge Shufen's marriage failure, in 1991, Zhao Benshan left the house, officially divorced Ge Shufen, and a pair of children were raised in the early stage.
In 1992, Zhao Benshan and Ma Lijuan held a wedding, in this year, Yu Yuexian has been a people's teacher for 5 years, the work is stable and relaxed, and her father is very satisfied.
But Yu Yuexian wanted to go to college, and the patriarchal father did not agree at all, thinking that girls were useless things, and the girls who married out were like water spilled out, and it was useless to go to college.
Annoyed to hear it, he slapped it directly, followed by a kick and kicked out, directly humming Yu Yuexian's brain melon seed.
Despite this, Yu Yuexian still wanted to find an opportunity to leave Chifeng, and when she saw the information about the Chinese Opera Admissions Examination in the newspaper, she knew that her opportunity had come.
While grading her homework, she wrote down a note that read, "If you have something to do, take a few days off," stuffed it into the principal's office when school was over, and then secretly ran to Beijing alone.
However, when she traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, the first test of Chinese opera had already ended, and the second test was in full swing, and it was obvious that she was late.
If it is an ordinary girl, it is estimated that she will directly return home, but Yu Yuexian directly broke into the arena: "May I ask who is the chief examiner of you?" ”
Several of the staff members who asked were stunned: "Who are you, we are taking the exam, please go out." ”
Yu Yuexian asked again, "Please ask who of you is the chief examiner?" ”
This time she got the answer.
Then Yu Yuexian said to the chief examiner: "My name is Yu Yuexian, I have been a teacher for 5 years, now I want to learn acting, please give me a chance, if I am not qualified, I will return to Chifeng to continue to be a teacher, no longer do what he thinks." ”
The examiner was impressed by her sincerity and decided to give her a chance, the acting experience as a child and 5 years of teaching career, let Yu Yuexian's heart stop water, not nervous at all, although she did not know what a sketch was, nor did she systematically learn to sing, or completed the exam step by step.
Yu Yuexian, who returned home after the exam, was not warmly welcomed by her family, because she was "deviant" and scolded by her father.
Soon after, Yu Yuexian received an acceptance letter from The Chinese Opera and was sent to the school, her behavior of skipping the class to go to the examination was completely exposed, the school not only did not let her go to the Chinese Opera, but also regarded her as a typical example of criticism of education, and the school sent her to the communication room to see the gate in order to punish her, and was also responsible for burning the boiler.
Those months, arguably the darkest months of Yu Yuexian's life, felt that her dreams had been completely shattered by the interference of her father and school.
Just as she was about to give up, a miracle occurred.
Three
The teacher of the Chinese opera did not see Yu Yuexian to go to Beijing to report for a long time, knowing that she was in trouble, and sent two teachers from Beijing to Chifeng by train.
Yu Yuexian thus walked into the door of the Chinese opera and became the sister of Gong Li and Xu Fan and others, seeing the glorious appearance of the master sister, Yu Yuexian finally found the life she wanted.
After graduation, Yu Yuexian became an actor at the Tianjin People's Art Theater, and zhao Benshan at this time had become a household name for the king of sketches.
Although the two were related to each other, in his career, Zhao Benshan could not give Any help to Yu Yuexian at this time, and he had not yet thought about making a TV series at that time.
Compared with her sister Gong Li, Yu Yuexian was not only a Zhang Yimou, but also some luck.
He has starred in many film and television dramas such as "98 Version of Water Margin" and "Journey to the West Sequel", but Yu Yuexian has not been popular until 2002, when the opportunity for Yu Yuexian to become popular came.
Zhao Benshan, who was already lonely on the stage of sketches this year, decided to shoot a TV series with rural themes, and got the full support of his wife Ma Lijuan.
As a cousin, Yu Yuexian got the internal news at the first time and ran to find her cousin Ma Lijuan: "I heard that my brother-in-law wants to make a TV series, can I let my brother-in-law arrange a role for me?" ”
Ma Lijuan naturally wanted to help her sister, and at night she blew the pillow wind.
Don't look at Zhao Benshan's witty humor on the stage, but he is a meticulous person at work: "The scene I shoot, she is not suitable." She looks so foreign, can she play a rustic rural woman in the soil? ”
Ma Lijuan said: "You are an excuse, you are doubting her acting skills. ”
Zhao Benshan didn't want to hide his views, so he said, "If you really say it's right, I just don't have confidence in her acting skills!" ”
Yu Yuexian was very sensible, and did not embarrass her cousin in this matter, but specially called Zhao Benshan: "I will prove my acting skills to you." ”

After this, Yu Yuexian worked harder, and successively starred in TV series such as "Troubled World", "Windsor's Merry Ladies", and her acting skills were also recognized by everyone.
At this time, she was confident, and once again found her cousin, and Ma Lijuan once again blew the pillow wind.
Zhao Benshan not only did not praise Yu Yuexian, but instead picked out a bunch of problems with her, which made Yu Yuexian angry and anxious, hiding in the house and crying.
After crying, she once again practiced her acting skills, and at this time, her goal was no longer to play Zhao Benshan's play, but to fight for a breath.
In 2006, Zhao Benshan has successfully completed the transformation from sketches to TV series, and the "Ma Dashuai" series and the "Liu Laogen" series have set off a ratings boom across the country, but unfortunately this has nothing to do with Yu Yuexian.
In this summer, the tenth anniversary of the graduation of the 96 graduates of the Chinese Opera, in order to commemorate this special day, the drama "Holy Well" was specially rehearsed, and Yu Yuexian played a "crazy woman" in the play.
In order to prove her acting skills to Zhao Benshan, she and her husband Zhang Xuesong specially invited Zhao Benshan to watch this performance, and When Zhao Benshan was performing, he did not recognize that the "crazy woman" was Yu Yuexian.
At the end of the performance, Zhao Benshan also asked Zhang Xuesong: "Why didn't you see your daughter-in-law?" Is she a substitute actor? ”
Zhang Xuesong smiled: "You have already seen it, the crazy woman is her!" ”
When Zhao Benshan heard this, he was very surprised, and he also deliberately found Yu Yuexian to apologize to her: "Xiao Xian, I'm sorry, I looked down on you." ”
It was this performance that laid the foundation for the cooperation between the two.
Five
At the beginning of 2005, Yu Yuexian was playing with her husband when she received a call from Zhao Benshan: "Xiao Xian, I want to shoot a new play, I have a dumb role, the role is not very much, I don't know if you want to act." ”
Soon after, the script reached the hands of the husband and wife, and Zhang Xuesong said to Yuexian: "There are not many plays in this role, only 11 scenes in total, it is a small person, but it is not easy to act." My brother-in-law is examining your acting skills. ”
Of course, Yu Yuexian is not afraid of tests, in order to play this role well, she directly quit a starring TV series and deliberately ran to the deaf and dumb school to experience life.
Also deliberately agreed with her husband that before the scene was filmed, they would communicate in a deaf and mute way, Zhang Xuesong was also very cooperative, after the scene was filmed, Yu Yuexian got the affirmation of the crew members around her, and they all felt that she played very well.
She herself was complacent, thinking that her brother-in-law should not praise me much, but she was severely criticized by Zhao Benshan: "I don't think you are dumb enough to act, you have to have a clear understanding of yourself." ”
Soon, Zhao Benshan gave her another role: "This time you are going to play a mess, you don't have to look for me in the future." ”
Yu Yuexian was holding a momentum in her heart, and Zhao Benshan's words once again added fuel to the energy-filled Yu Yuexian, and she vowed to seize this opportunity.
It turned out that her efforts were rewarded, and at the end of the last scene, Zhao Benshan found her: "Xiao Xian, you are qualified." ”
Yu Yuexian was very happy.
She herself is Zhao Benshan's sister-in-law, and she has acting skills, who is not used? Why not use your own relatives? This time Zhao Benshan decided to give her a leading role to play.
Six
In 2006, when Zhao Benshan was preparing to shoot "Country Love", he called Yu Yuexian: "I have a protagonist, called Xie Dazu, a 40-year-old middle-aged rural woman, do you dare to act?" ”
Yu Yuexian waited for this opportunity for too long, of course, it was a response: "If you dare to use me, I dare to act!" ”
It was this decision that completely "destroyed" Yu Yuexian's flower appearance and moon appearance.
After arriving at the crew, Zhao Benshan looked at her and said: "You can't do this, Xie Dazu is a 40-year-old rural woman, with a plump body, a spicy personality, too thin, and too foreign, you have to gain 5 kilograms in a month, otherwise you can only change people." ”
Subsequently, he also instructed the logistics of the crew to open a small stove for her, and "serve" her with big fish and big meat.
As we all know, it is a very painful thing to eat hard, and Yu Yuexian took advantage of Zhao Benshan's lack of attention to dump the things, and as a result, he was caught, which was another severe reprimand.
She also found her husband Zhang Xuesong to supervise her, and eventually she was visibly fat, Zhao Benshan was happy, Yu Yuexian was very sad, and her prosperous beauty was gone.
Playing a good rural woman in the northeast is not enough, but also in the temperament of close, in order to figure out the role of "Xie Dazu", Yu Yuexian arrived in the countryside of Ivory Mountain early, and the rural women there chatted about the parents.
Once Zhao Benshan went to Ivory Mountain to do business, he stopped by to visit Yu Yuexian, but after arriving at the place, he did not recognize her, when she was squatting and nagging with several rural big sisters, Zhao Benshan was very satisfied: This is the Xie Bigfoot in my eyes.
Zhao Benshan's harshness is correct, after the broadcast of "Country Love", Yu Yuexian became red, and the role of "Xie Dazu" entered thousands of households and changed Yu Yuexian's life, even Zhao Benshan's sons and daughters did not call her "Little Fairy Aunt", but called her "Bigfoot Aunt".
Zhao Benshan not only helped her in her career, but also served as a mentor in her life.
Seven
As soon as the star is red, there are all kinds of scandals, and Yu Yuexian is no exception, she once suffered from this, afraid that her husband Zhang Xuesong had a knot in his heart, and deliberately found Zhao Benshan.
"Xiao Xian, there is no scandal in this line of work, others will not let you go." In fact, after you go home, you take the initiative to report to Zhang Xuesong, and he will have a judgment. ”
After saying this, Zhao Benshan also made a special call to Zhang Xuesong: "Your daughter-in-law is not that, I know this better than you." Don't let the wind be rain, blame your daughter-in-law. Otherwise, I'm in a hurry with you! ”
Zhang Xuesong was very sensible: "Brother-in-law, you can rest assured, I won't think about it much." ”
Yu Yuexian and Zhang Xuesong are classmates, the two married in 2001, Zhang Xuesong sacrificed a lot for her, Yu Yuexian's younger brother suffered from spinal deformation when he was 8 years old.
The disease will become more and more curved as he grows older, and finally the whole person folds up, and Yu Yuexian has been taking care of his younger brother.
After getting married, Yu Yuexian did not give up taking care of his brother and took him to see a doctor in major cities. Zhang Xuesong also understood her and agreed that she did not want children for her brother's sake.
In addition, Zhang Xuesong is also a very romantic person, Yu Yuexian is filming outside, he often goes to visit the class, one year on Yuexian's birthday, she was filming in Qinghai.
Zhang Xuesong flew from Beijing to Qinghai to send blessings, and after arriving at the place, he wanted to buy flowers for her, but he ran all around the set and did not find a flower shop, so he had no choice but to make a big meal to compensate her well.
When he saw the flowers and melons making vegetables and the small yellow flowers blooming on his head, Zhang Xuesong's eyes lit up. When Yu Yuexian pushed open the door after filming, he saw the cucumbers clustered together and wondered: "What are you doing?" ”
Zhang Xuesong replied, "Don't you think this is like a flower?" ”
At that time, Yu Yuexian was angry and funny, and there were some touching, and Zhang Xuesong silently supported Yu Yuexian behind his back for 20 years.
If there were no accidents, the two would live this life so happily, but unfortunately, Yu Yuexian passed away one step ahead of the world, which was a very huge blow to Zhang Xuesong.
After Jose's death, Sanmao wrote: The people who stay behind are the most miserable.
This sentence may be Zhang Xuesong's best feeling now, he can give up so much for Yu Yuexian, he must love her very much, I hope that Yu Yuexian will go all the way, and I also hope that Zhang Xuesong will get out of the haze as soon as possible.
