There are protagonists in film and television drama works, there are supporting roles, it is not easy to play a good protagonist, it is not easy to play a good supporting role, together with the real old drama bone supporting roles, the hands and feet are all plays, every facial muscle is part of the acting, and if you can do this, you can be called an artist.
Limited by space, Explore Jun talks about 6 supporting actors who can be called artists.
1. Yu Chenghui
Yu Chenghui is a martial arts background, has a high degree of achievement in martial arts, when he was young, he not only won the championship in the East China Martial Arts Competition, but also created his own two-handed sword move - mantis through the forest, using martial arts masters to describe him, in the right way.
With his superb martial arts skills, in 1982, the 43-year-old Yu Chenghui was selected by the crew of "Shaolin Temple" to play the role of the main villain Wang Zeren. In "Shaolin Temple", Yu Chenghui showed superb martial arts, which became a hit, and then he participated in the sister articles of "Shaolin Temple", "Shaolin Boy" and "North and South Shaolin", in the three films, his superb swordplay is breathtaking.
Later, director Zhang Xinyan saw Yu Chenghui's martial arts and specially invited him to be the lead actor of "Yellow River Hero" Ma Yi, although his action scenes are still wonderful and the depth of the film is deep, but the box office is somewhat unbearable, and it only achieved a box office of 2.48 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.
Since then, Yu Chenghui realized that he was not suitable to be the main actor, coupled with his age (born in 1939), so he was at ease to play a supporting role, and this change made him familiar in another way.
In the next 30 years, he starred in many supporting roles, most of which were fengxian dao bone characters, such as Feng Qingyang, Mu Renqing, Zhang Sanfeng, etc., giving people an impression of being a sect master.
And the reason why he is called an artist is that in these plays, he perfectly integrates martial arts into it. Unfortunately, on July 4, 2015, he passed away at the age of 76.
2. Wei Zongwan
Born in 1938, Wei Zongwan is a famous clown comedian, and unlike Yu Chenghui, he is from the class of zheng'er Bajing, but he did not have many opportunities when he was young, and it was not until 1982 that he starred in his first film "One and Eight".
After that, he also participated in many movies and TV series as a supporting role, in terms of movies, he mainly played a comedy star, responsible for funny responsibility, he starred in "Sanmao From the Army", "Desperate Circumstances", "Smart Escape" are all the same, I believe that these three movies many friends have seen, but also believe that after the big guys watched, they were happy to laugh.
In terms of TV dramas, Wei Zongwan played many gritty villain roles, such as Sima Yi in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Gao Li in "Water Margin", Lu Zhizhou in "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty" and so on.
Wei Zongwan's acting skills are deep and delicate, especially his eyes, which can be said to be able to emerge from any joy and sorrow.
Nowadays, Wei Zongwan has rarely filmed, he has left more time to accompany his wife, and the 50-year golden marriage between the two has made many people envious.
3. Liu Xun
Liu Xun's appearance rate in Hong Kong films in the 90s can be said to be quite high.
In the "Huang Feihong" series, he starred in a righteous and humorous Huang Qiying, in the Xiao'ao Jianghu series, he starred in three different roles, the sinister and vicious Dongchang Factory Gong Gu Gufu, the loyal and courageous Xiang Qingtian, disguised as three bags of elders of the East Undefeated.
His acting skills are the most talked about in the second and third parts of "The Ghost of Qiannu", in both dramas, he played the role of a high monk - Master Pudu Cihang and Master Baiyun Zen, two roles, one evil and one good, the former is different in appearance, for the misfortune of the heavens, the latter Pudu sentient beings, sacrificing themselves to become benevolent, the contrast and amplitude, jaw-dropping.
Liu Xun is still a "eunuch professional household" in the show business circle, in "Nine Pin Sesame Officials", he plays Chang Wei's grandfather, the great eunuch Li Lianying, in the 90th version of "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu", he plays the ancient and modern Fu, whether it is laughter or speaking tone, with a cold wind of dove. And the most brilliant is the eagle dog eunuch Jia Ting, who he played in "New Dragon Gate Inn", the role he played, it can be said that every frame is a play, in the last second, he can talk and laugh with the protagonist, the next bird, he will show a fierce face, murderous, so high acting skills, the average person can not reach it at all.
Many people think that Liu Xun is a Hong Konger, in fact, it is not, don't look at his high rate of appearance in Hong Kong films, he is a real Beijinger, born in 1939, he began to learn Peking Opera at the age of 6, he worked in the Peking Opera for 22 years, but in 1980, he resigned from the iron rice bowl and went to Hong Kong to develop.
Today, at the age of 82, he has been awarded the title of Honorary Fellow of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
4. Li Jianyi
Like Liu Xun, Li Jianyi is also a "professional eunuch household", and the most outstanding eunuch he plays is Cao Zhengchun in "The First in the World".
Li Jianyi is a graduate of the Shanghai Theater Academy, as early as 1984, he began to participate in film and television dramas, of course, basically are supporting roles. In addition to acting, his other job was dubbing, and in the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he served as a voice actor for several actors. As for how wonderful the dubbing lines of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are, I will not repeat them here, Li Jianyi can match the tones of multiple roles, which is enough to prove his identity as an artist.
In the classic hit drama "The Name of the People", Li Jianyi showed a wave of acting skills, and the role of the procurator of the quarter he played can be said to be the most wonderful in the whole drama, calm, wise, and smooth, humorous, and more importantly, the righteousness he showed was emitted from the bones. In contrast, the performance of Mesozoic actor Lu Yi and others is dwarfed.
Today, Li Jianyi, who is over 60 years old, is still active in the film and television circle, and he has also won the title of a national first-class actor early, hoping that he can bring us more works in the future.
5. Li Mingqi
"Mamma Rong" Li Mingqi is a shadow of many people's childhood, but she is a veritable artist.
Born in 1936, Li Mingqi studied bel canto as a teenager and won many national awards, and by chance, she was introduced from the orchestra to the repertory theatre and started her acting career.
We all know that the great development of China's film and television industry was in the 80s of the last century, and at this time, Li Mingqi also reached middle age, so she basically starred in supporting roles. However, her honor as a national first-class actor is placed there, playing a supporting role, which is a piece of cake for her, and every role she plays is vivid.
Among these roles, the most well-known is None other than Grandma Rong, who played Grandma Rong's spicy, vicious, and bad thoughts to the fullest, because of this role, she was also ranked at the top of the "wicked" list many times, and was misunderstood, resulting in going to the street to buy vegetables and being scolded. However, this also shows Li Mingqi's acting skills from another aspect. However, from the current point of view, we do misunderstand "Mama Rong", she is a rare good person in the play.
Today's Li Mingqi is 85 years old, she is still very close to the ground, one person buys vegetables, one person takes the bus, the life is quite comfortable, and the audience has also justified her name, calling her a real people's artist.
6. Liu Zhongyuan
Liu Zhongyuan is the oldest of the six old drama bones, born in 1922, he is almost 100 years old.
When he was young, Liu Zhongyuan studied under the famous drama actor Li Paul, and after that, he worked in the drama industry for decades, and retired in 1984, but who ever thought that after retirement, he would shine in film and television dramas, of course, all supporting roles. He has participated in films such as "Secret Golden Triangle", "Human Feud" and so on.
As for, he participated in more TV series, in Li Yapeng's version of "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes", starring in Mo Da, playing Gu Chun in "The Granary of the World", playing Su Xinghe in "Tianlong Babu", etc., you know, these TV series are basically filmed after 2000, Liu Zhongyuan was over 80 years old when he participated in these roles, and the hardships of this are only known to him.
