When Yu Hewei was born, his mother was 45 years old.
Three years later, his father died.
Yu Hewei is the ninth child of this poor family, and if he did not eat the milk of his 24-year-old sister, whether he could grow up healthily was a problem.
But he actually wants to be an art student?
Art students are very money-burning.
The mother sells roasted sweet potatoes to pull a bunch of children, and the days can only be barely made up, where is the spare money to support the poetry and far away of the younger son?
However, the most favored in every family is the youngest child, and Yu Hewei is no exception, feeling the warmth of the family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have naively embraced his dreams.
The only regret is that Yu Hewei has no learning talent, and he has failed the middle school entrance examination twice in a row, and he is discouraged, and he wants to give up his studies and go home to help his old mother sell sweet potatoes.
It's just that when God closes a door, he opens a window.
Yu Hewei is not a good student, but he has a lot of musical talent, in order not to waste music cells, he decided to apply for Fushun City Preschool Normal School, and in the future, after graduation, he will become a music teacher, which is better than blowing a bone-chilling wind on the street, right?
However, after he graduated, he did not choose to be a teacher, but based on his love for literature and art, he tried to apply for the Fushun Drama Troupe without his mother, but unexpectedly he was admitted.
However, the drama is sluggish, and there are not many performances in total, which makes Yu Hewei very depressed, and he begins to waver again for the gray future.
It happened that in this year, his life shone into a light, and a girl named Song Linjing entered his world, until now.
Song Linjing is a dancer, and her appearance and family lineage are much stronger than Yu Hewei, so Song Linjing's parents are very opposed to their love.
Love makes people dizzy, but also makes people strive to be strong.
In order to be worthy of Song Linjing, Yu Hewei decided to apply for the Acting Academy, but that year, he was already 20 years old, could he still be admitted?
Failing the middle school entrance examination twice, like a nightmare, constantly saying to him: You can't do it.
With the "spur" of love, Yu Hewei did not believe that he could not do it, he spent a whole year, almost hanging the beam thorn stock, and finally admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy in 1992.
There are many beautiful women in the film school, and Song Linjing is a little worried, afraid that this excellent man will be hooked by other beautiful women, so she also spent a lot of effort to be admitted to the performance of the performance of the training class, and he is accompanied day and night.
After graduation, Yu Hewei went to the Nanjing Military Region Frontline Drama Troupe and performed dramas for several years.
No one looked at it, the salary was low, and Yu Hewei once again fell into the trough of his life.
The drama is so sluggish, which makes Yu Hewei work hard to transform into a film and television actor.
Compared with Yu Hewei's various unsatisfactory, Song Linjing's luck is very good, and soon she served as a director's assistant, and her daily work arrangement is very full, whether it is the future or the money path, it is much brighter than Yu Hewei.
Wandering in the continuous trough period, Yu Hewei had the idea of giving up his life, fortunately, he was stopped in time by Song Linjing, and his girlfriend asked him to think about his mother, who gave birth to him at the age of 45.
Therefore, Yu Hewei cut off his troubles and picked up the courage to live.
In 1999, Yu Hewei ushered in a well-known and surnamed role, playing the strategist "Xun Yu" in the TV series "Cao Cao".
Two years later, he played Sun Quan's strategist "Lu Su" in "Wolong Xiao Zhuge Ge".
At that time, of course, he would not have known, and for many years after that, he had been obscure, and what really made him popular was the character in the "Three Kingdoms Universe".
In 2020, he also became an Internet celebrity with the lines of "then playing music and dancing" and the magic dance.
This is an afterthought, not to mention for the time being.
After playing "Xun Yu", Yu Hewei officially entered the show business circle, but he never survived.
It was not until 2003 that Yu Hewei met the first nobleman.
His name is Gao Xixi, he is a director, and his representative works are "The Sky of History", "Happiness Is Like a Flower", and "New Three Kingdoms".
When Gao Xixi was preparing to shoot "The Sky of History", screenwriter Jiang Xiaoqin recommended Yu Hewei to him.
Jiang Xiaoqin worked with Yu Hewei several times in the Nanjing Military Region Repertory Theatre and knew he acted very well.
China is a humane society, and the screenwriter's face must be given, even if Gao Xixi does not know Yu Hewei, he also decided to let him play the role of "Wangubei".
However, Yu Hewei hesitated, because Song Linjing was pregnant, and he really couldn't rest assured.
However, Song Linjing still persuaded Yu Hewei.
After the TV series was broadcast, Yu Hewei was scolded miserably.
He played this bad guy very well, and the male protagonist Li Xuejian praised him as "very bad at first glance".
The audience's "scolding" made Yu Hewei very happy, which was exactly the performance feedback he wanted.
The audience scolded him for acting "badly", not for acting "badly", which means that the audience recognizes his performance.
Gao Xixi was also very happy, consciously digging up a treasure, and in the following years, he and Yu Hewei collaborated on 7 TV series, witnessing his counterattack from obscurity to fame.
Therefore, Yu Hewei said: As long as it is a drama directed by Ghosh, I will not increase the price at all.
In 2009, when Gao Xixi's version of "Three Kingdoms" was being filmed, he once again thought of Yu Hewei and called and invited him to play Liu Bei, who had a lot of explosive roles.
The old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and each role seems to be a person who has come out of history, which makes Yu Hewei very entangled, he does not know whether he can play this role well, but under the invitation of Gao Xixi, he is still under pressure.
In order to play Liu Bei well, Yu Hewei read a lot of relevant materials about Liu Bei, and he secretly decided to perform an image different from the old version of Liu Bei.
In 2010, after the broadcast of "Three Kingdoms", online reviews were polarized.
Some people say that Yu Hewei played Liu Bei into a facial paralysis.
Some people say that Yu Hewei performed the belly black of the "grassroots emperor".
Although "Uncle Liu Huang" shouted well, he had long lost his former glory, and he had always been envious of people like Sun Quan, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao, who had their own roots, but although his strength was not good, he had great ambitions and heroic spirit, otherwise he would not have been separated from others.
Yu Hewei portrayed Liu Bei as a flesh-and-blood hero, never as cowardly as he appeared, and a woman's benevolence.
He is no longer a paper man who will only be miserable and have no desire to enjoy.
Therefore, in "New Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei will say: "I have fought all my life, can't I enjoy it?" ”
The phrase "then play music and then dance" comes from the mouth of Liu Bei, the Hewei version.
In 2020, it is on fire again.
After "Liu Bei" became popular, Yu Hewei got a lot of film invitations, but somehow, he acted in more than a dozen or twenty plays in a row, and he never became popular.
The only thing that is still remarkable is "Green Blindness", which is known as the Chinese version of prison break.
But the reviews are still mixed.
Many people say that Yu Hewei is not good-looking, his face is too long, his teeth are prominent, he can't play a love drama, and he has no life as a male protagonist.
Indeed, Yu Hewei has acted for so many years, and he has not played an absolute protagonist once.
Isn't this a look limit?
But the audience and the director know that he is a good actor, the director is willing to use him, and the audience is willing to see him.
Since 2016, Yu Hewei has entered the film circle and has cooperated with Feng Xiaogang, Huang Bo, Ning Hao, Lu Yang and other directors, which has enhanced a lot of popularity.
However, what really makes Yu Hewei popular is a character in the Three Kingdoms in the TV series.
In 2017, Yu Hewei met a second director who changed him, his name is Zhang Yongxin, and his representative works are "The Army Division Alliance of Sima Yi of the Great Army Division", "Tiger Howling Dragon Yin", and "The Age of Awakening"!
Yu Hewei played a generation of adulterous males "Cao Cao" in "The League of Military Teachers", acting from middle age to death, from domineering to unwilling, causing a lot of praise.
Many people say that Yu Hewei surpassed Bao Guoan.
Some people also said that Yu Hewei performed: Old Ji Futuo, determined to be in a thousand miles. Between the four seas and the vast universe, all in control, even if the world looks at Cao Mengde wrongly, I also stand at the top of the crowd, who can help? The macho of the macho.
Performing historical figures with flesh and blood is a kind of test for actors, there are too many actors, acting back and forth, are all a model play, one board and one glance, flowing on the surface.
It's really hard to play a good character.
Many people rushed to see this drama with Wu Xiubo, but in the end they were all fans of Yu Hewei circle.
Many people also called on him to make an individualistic "Biography of Cao Cao".
What's more, let Yu Hewei play Sun Quan once.
In this way, "At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were three kingdoms, and the three kingdoms belonged to Hewei. ”
I can't help but wonder, how many years will it take for Yu Hewei to contract the entire Three Kingdoms?
These years are the year of Yu Hewei's take-off, especially this year, we must stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, which shows how hot he is!
This year's acclaimed "The Age of Awakening", in which he played "Chen Duxiu".
This is the third time he has played "Chen Duxiu", the first two times in "The Great Undertaking of Building the Army" and "China 1921", for this role, he has already become a bamboo in the chest.
But Yu Hewei is not willing to repeat himself, and repetition will only make him fall into the abyss.
It is said that learning from the past can be a teacher.
Yu Hewei's version of Chen Duxiu is really a thriving.
In 2019, Yu Hewei received an invitation from the national teacher Zhang Yimou to start his "road to becoming a god".
However, the movie made at that time was "Rock Solid", but for some reason, this movie has not been released yet.
Lao Mouzi is worthy of being the most energetic director in China, and while filming "Rock Solid", he also launched the shooting plan of "On the Cliff" and invited Yu Hewei again.
The reason for the two consecutive cooperation is that Zhang Yimou feels that Yu Hewei has the characteristics of both good and evil, especially suitable for playing our agent lurking in the heart of the enemy, so Yu Hewei just went down "Solid as a Rock" and then on "On the Cliff".
To go undercover at the heart of an enemy require rock-solid faith?
Zhang Yimou chose the right one, and Yu Hewei also performed well.
Whether it is the flickering eyes of the person who shot the person, or the scene of saying "I am a communist" to the enemy, or the scene of putting out the fire with his bare hands in the car, it has attracted the praise of the audience for "acting textbooks", "everything is available", "one person with a thousand faces".
In the face of these praises, Yu Hewei seemed to be ashamed, and he said: I want to always stay sober.
Many years ago, the entertainment industry also had a name called showbiz, just like stars also have a name called actors, but unfortunately, with a large number of people who only look good and have no strength to break in, the entertainment circle has become an entertainment circle, and actors have become traffic.
Good actors are not hot, bad stars are a bunch.
Some traffic stars, touted by fans, flattered by good words, have long drifted to the sky, really think that they are purple micro stars descending from heaven, and have thrown modesty outside the cloud of nine clouds.
There are fewer and fewer actors like Yu Hewei who act seriously, and I would like to ask, who can endure more than twenty years of tepidism, excellent acting skills, and at the same time, do not speculate?
In the face of the audience's sincere praise, Yu Hewei still feels ashamed, such a sober attitude, I don't know how to make many stars feel ashamed?
