In May, a 50-year-old actor lit himself on fire.
This fire is terrible, it is a real fire.
Allowing the flames to spread, his hands moved calmly until he finally easily squeezed the fire out.
The camera is in one go, and this two-handed performance is natural, which makes people call out the truth.
This fascinating clip comes from actor Yu Hewei's performance in "On the Cliff", which is an improvisation of his.
Although the fire was extinguished by him, he lit another fire in the hearts of the audience.
In the May 1st file, Zhang Yimou's "On the Cliff" has a high reputation and is recognized as the bearer of the same period of film.
Under the praise of netizens, the praise for the "invisible protagonist" Yu Hewei is quite high.
Zhou Yi, played by him, has a feeling of a spy version of Chen Yongren.
Due to the needs of intelligence work, Zhou Yi not only pretended not to know his teammates in front of the enemy, but also cooperated with the enemy to coax his teammates in the middle of the play.
All in all, not only the actors have to act, but also the roles in the play.
And Yu Hewei finally supported this highly malleable role with his acting skills, and behind Zhou Yi's frequent "change of face" is Yu Hewei's continuous showmanship.
In the high praise and hot comments of netizens for the film, the three words of Yu Hewei are almost indispensable, which also reflects the popularity of this name in the May Day period.
Looking back at Hewei's acting career of more than twenty years, this fire burned well and burned wonderfully.
01
Childhood life is difficult, a fish jumped the dragon gate
Yu Hewei was born in 1971 in Fushun, Liaoning Province, and compared with today's beautiful acting career, his early childhood life was very difficult.
When Yu Hewei was born, his mother was 45 years old, and Yu Hewei became the 9th child in the family, with 5 sisters and 3 brothers in front.
The economic pressure of a large population on the family is not small, and the unexpected death of his father, Yu Hewei, when he was 3 years old, brought a huge blow to the family.
To this end, Yu's mother had to get up early and sell baked sweet potatoes to make a living, and her older brothers and sisters also earned money to provide tuition for her.
In this way, Yu Hewei grew up in a relatively difficult family, which also made him determined to try to change his destiny.
Shortly after graduating from junior high school, Yu Hewei was recruited by the Fushun Repertory Theatre and got a job that was regarded as an "iron rice bowl" at the time.
But in the years that followed, he made a surprising decision to let the drama troupe work steadily, and he was determined to step on a higher stage: to enter the drama school.
Despite some confusion, the family chose unconditional support.
One of his sisters even sold her son's piano and funded Yu Hewei 4,000 yuan.
With his own talent and acquired efforts, Yu Hewei finally lived up to the expectations of his sisters.
In 1992, Yu Hewei was officially admitted to the acting department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, and the Cold Gate student Yu YueLongmen was in this dynasty.
02
The ambition of the teenager was frustrated, and the showbiz circle was ups and downs for ten years
After entering the theater, Yu Hewei studied acting skills in school and moved towards his dream of acting.
In the following years, his lover Song Linjing at the Fushun Repertory Theatre was also admitted to the play.
No longer enduring the pain of long-distance love, plus academic prosperity, which also makes Yu Hewei full of expectations for the future.
But the dream is very full, the reality is very bone.
After graduation, Yu Hewei and his wife Song Linjing were simultaneously recruited by the Nanjing Military Region Repertory Theatre, but for a long time afterwards he felt confused.
Compared with other students in Chinese opera who got important drama contracts, Yu Hewei only had dragon set drama invitations, which was a big gap for him.
Yu Hewei did not take over these dragon sets in the end, which left him with no film and television works for three years after graduation, and his daily work was to rehearse in the troupe.
It is said that during that time, Yu Hewei called his sister to pour bitter water, and even said at one point that he "wanted to die".
However, under the enlightenment of his wife and family, Yu Hewei finally calmed down and slowly waited for his own opportunity.
In 1999, Yu Hewei ushered in his first experience in a TV series, he played Xun Yu in the TV series "Cao Cao", and at the age of 28, he took the first step into the show business circle.
Subsequently, he participated in Gorhexi's "The Sky of History" in 2003, in which he played the sinister villain Wangubei.
In cooperation with Zhang Fengyi, Li Xuejian and other big names, Yu Hewei's performance light has not been suppressed.
He interpreted the sinister character image of the Ancient Monument and began to enter the public eye.
Subsequently, he also played Bai Jingqi's grandson Bai Zhan'an in "The Gate of the Big House 2", and cooperated with the film emperor Li Xuejian again in "Hitchhiking".
But unfortunately, although the supporting roles are quite brilliant, Yu Hewei did not become popular with these roles.
Drama celebrities are not red, and Yu Hewei has become a standard "drama throwing face" at this time.
Until 2009, Yu Hewei, who had been in the show business circle for a full decade, was still dominated by tepid supporting roles, and the former youthful ambitions seemed to be worn out by the showbiz circle.
03
In his prime, he had to meet Bole and became popular because of the Three Kingdoms
Although the showbiz industry has not really become famous after more than ten years of hard work, just as Yu Hewei joked about his "getting on the thief ship" when he graduated:
This showbiz ship, on the board, there is no intention to come down.
In the following years, he still acted in obscurity, and the gold always shone, and in the end he waited for a gold digger.
In 2009, Ghosh planned to shoot "New Three Kingdoms".
He who had directed "The Sky of History" was deeply impressed by Hewei, so he boldly invited the other party to play the role of Liu Bei, which also opened the door to popularity for Yu Hewei.
Compared with Sun Yanjun's version of Liu Bei (the old version of the Three Kingdoms) with a benevolent appearance, Yu Hewei's version of Liu Bei is obviously more "fierce".
This version of him Liu Bei is no longer just the image of a generous and benevolent king, but in addition to benevolence, he has a little more forbearance and a sense of tyrantness.
Although Yu Hewei's version of Liu Bei was once criticized by netizens after the broadcast of "New Three Kingdoms", with the passage of time, people gradually recognized Yu Hewei's acting skills and also recognized his new interpretation of Liu Bei.
The new and old Liu Bei have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are all worthy of affirmation.
With this "New Three Kingdoms" as a watershed, he achieved true fame after 2010.
But at this time, Yu Hewei, who was over 40 years old, did not force the male protagonist to change, but continued to shine in the field of supporting roles.
In 2012, he played the role of Qin Wang Yingzheng in "The Legend of Chu Han".
Although there are not many scenes, the image of the tyrannical and suspicious King of Qin is interpreted by him into three points, so that people dare not approach it when they look at it.
In the following years, he also got the opportunity to cooperate with famous directors, and participated in "Old Cannon" and "I Am Not Pan Jinlian".
In 2017, his supporting role performance was recognized by the industry, and he won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as a county magistrate in "I Am Not Pan Jinlian".
At this time, Yu Hewei has gradually adapted to the identity of supporting roles, but even if he plays a supporting role, he can also be very brilliant.
04
After becoming popular, he maintained his "sobriety" as an actor, and his face-turning acting skills were thousands of faces
In 2017, Yu Hewei once again became acquainted with the Three Kingdoms.
He played the role of Cao Cao in "The League of Military Teachers", and he played the arrogant and suspicious side of Cao Cao in his later years, and the domineering side of the generation of tyrants was not lost in his manners.
In this drama, cao cao, who he played, received unanimous praise from netizens, and he even stole the light of the protagonist Wu Xiubo (Sima Yi).
After the end of Yu Hewei's drama, there are even many arguments that Cao Cao's "Army-Master Alliance" after he went offline is another work.
And it is also after this play that netizens gradually have such ridicule:
All things can be in Harmony
In addition to playing Liu Bei Cao Cao and two Three Kingdoms characters, netizens were surprised to find that Yu Hewei also played Xun Yu (TV series "Cao Cao") and Lu Su (TV series "Wolong Xiao Zhuge Ge") in his early years.
Counting Lu Su's role, to some extent, Yu Hewei has completed the "Three Kingdoms Grand Slam".
In the past few years, Yu Hewei, who played a supporting role in the perfect situation, opened his face-changing show in the field of film/TV series.
In the movie "A Good Drama", he played Zhang Zong, who has a strong desire for power, and the picture of his hot dance is still brushing the screen with a certain tone...
In "Shangyang Fu", he plays the father of Zhang Ziyi, who is also a post-70s generation, and although the age span of the two is very small, he still shows the majesty of the character's father in every move.
The character is also a wolf-in-the-world ambitionist, and Yu Hewei also interprets the character's forbearance and cunning side very brilliantly.
In "Inspection Tour", he replaced him with a bold and careful, upright prosecutor image, and the drama was broadcast before and after "Shangyang Fu", and the speed of the two images changed was amazing.
In this year's hit 9.3 divine drama "The Age of Awakening", chen Duxiu, who he played, made people feel the blood in that era of flying knowledge.
The popularity of film and television works has made Yu Hewei in recent years have a full sense of existence in front of the audience.
From being a cold student in the past to "wanting to die" after experiencing setbacks after graduation, Yu Hewei's youth was full of setbacks.
After the floating and sinking showbiz circle, he firmly positioned himself, and then shined with a changeable image, and Yu Hewei, who entered middle age, regained his brilliance.
Along the way, Yu Hewei let people see the resilience of a good actor after experiencing setbacks, and also saw the adaptability of an acting school to multiple.
Throughout his acting career, he did not stay stuck in the old drama path, but constantly changed his style, showing the possibility of a thousand faces.
In contrast, Yu Hewei, who is so "sober", does not know how many dramas can be frozen, the acting skills are exaggerated, and even the male stars who can only pose are blushing.
Yu Hewei once talked about the multi-faceted nature of his image in an interview, and he said that as an actor, he should adapt to the trend of the times.
And even if he jumps out of the play, he is still an old naughty boy who has reached the age of fifty (Note: Yu Hewei turned 50 on May Fourth Youth Day this year).
Flipping through his social platforms, he didn't pull down the things that young people played.
First of all, I played a COSPLAY, and the Halloween vampire shape was very eye-catching.
Then I also played with beauty, which made people exclaim that the uncle also had a cute heart.
On his fiftieth birthday, he also turned on the live broadcast, and Lei Jiayin and others "showed love" in the air...
Young people play the terrier he also strives to keep up, micro-blog constantly brushing paragraphs, vaguely open the account into a fun blogger.
And when he could "blacken himself", he did not let go.
When many netizens found that NBA stars Harden, Jordan Jr. and others collided with Yu Hewei, Yu Hewei posted a comparison chart and shouted in the air:
Who are these buddies!
On a certain sound platform, his "then play and dance" bungee clip became popular, and he even cut a video to upload it himself, and he also followed the hi.
A series of actions made Yu Hewei look like an Internet addicted teenager with full surfing skills, rather than an uncle who was over fifty years old.
Judging from Yu Hewei's recent situation, whether it is his career or life, he is ready to meet the new trend and accept new challenges.
And now, with the hot release of this "On the Cliff", people have once again known Yu Hewei.
Such Yu Hewei may only be the most appropriate to use "fickle" to describe him, or this word is the best recognition of an actor's acting skills.
Yu Hewei's "exploration" has not stopped, and in the near future, Yu Hewei has many expected film and television works released.
The "Three-Body Problem" with Zhang Luyi is expected to be released in 2022, and this phenomenon-level IP may light another fire for him.
The next work "Rock Solid" cooperated with Guoshi Zhang Yimou has also been filmed.
It is conceivable that in the next few years we will continue to see such a changeable Yu Hewei, and we also look forward to the next stunning appearance of this 50-year-old drama bone.
And the "fire" caused by this spy war film should really make him fire for a while.
