Now that the name Yu Zhongyi is mentioned, how many people can remember him?
Although he has made many films and exquisite acting skills in his acting career, because of the long time, everyone's memory of him has gradually blurred.
So much so that when it comes to those popular movies, such as "Lin Jia Puzi", "Red Flag Spectrum", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", etc., everyone can't remember, what has he acted?
In fact, the role he played is very exciting.
It's just that because he is never red, it is easy to be ignored by everyone.
But in Yaqing's view, Yu Zhongyi is also an excellent performance artist of The North Film Studio.
While remembering cui wei, Yu Lan, Zhang Ping, Chen Qiang, Xie Tian, Yu Yang, Xie Fang, Zhao Ziyue, Ling Yuan and other stars, we should not forget this good actor who looks ordinary but performs simple and generous.
Today, Yaqing wants to talk to everyone about the actors of the former North Film Studio - Yu Zhongyi.
Later, I flipped through many of the films in which Yu Zhongyi starred. A careful analysis of his performance in the film was also carried out.
I found that the biggest feature of his performance is that it is particularly lifelike. In today's parlance, it's particularly grounded. Not pretending, not pretending.
This is fundamentally different from many actors who only "pretend to be cool" and "handsome" in front of the camera.
I think that the formation of Yu Zhongyi's performance style has a lot to do with his experience and the era in which he lives.
In the years when he was in movies, on our screen, we really rejected those flashy things.
So, how did Yu Zhongyi get on the screen and become a movie actor?
Yu Zhongyi was born in December 1929 in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. At the age of 16, he was admitted to the Drama Department of North China University to study. After graduation, he first entered the Central Experimental Drama Theater as an actor, and then after the establishment of the Beijing Film Studio, because he needed a large number of actors, especially actors suitable for playing the image of "workers and peasants", and the 24-year-old Yu Zhongyi was very suitable for playing a farmer in both image and temperament, so he was transferred in.
Soon after entering the factory, under the leadership of veteran actors Chen Qiang and Ling Yuan, he entered the crew of "A Proposal" and played the role of Erxing in it.
Although this is Yu Zhongyi's first time acting in a movie, his performance is very natural and simple, and there is no drama or stage trace at all. It can be seen that he is very adapted to working in front of the camera.
Yu Zhongyi's appearance is not outstanding, so he cannot become a "handsome little student" on the screen. And his natural simple and luxurious temperament makes him very suitable for shaping the image of farmers, so after this, in many films shot by The North Film Studio, The Long Film Studio, etc., the roles he played were farmers.
And the peasant played by Yu Zhongyi is really a must. First of all, in appearance, he is very close to the peasant big brother that we are common in life. Secondly, the state he shows in the film, whether it is driving a big car or planting crops, he is so skillful and professional, just like he just came out of the field.
In fact, the actors at that time did attach great importance to the real life experience, and if they wanted to work, they would really work, rather than pretend. Therefore, the peasant played by Yu Zhongyi will be so real and credible.
Some people say that Yu Zhongyi can interpret the peasants beautifully without makeup. Yaqing also thinks so.
For example, in 1956, he played Cao Tiezhu who was saved by Jiang San in "The Flame That Cannot Be Extinguished". There are many characters in this film, but Yu Zhongyi's performance in it is very striking. Although Tiezhu is not the protagonist, in several heavy scenes, Yu Zhongyi better reflects Tiezhu's upright personality, which is unforgettable.
In 1958, he played the role of Dahong in "The Man in the Mountains" directed by Chen Kaige and his father Chen Huaigao, and he also had both gods and forms.
In 1959, Yu Zhongyi participated in the National Day tribute film "Lin Family Shop". He played a very small role in it. Yes, it was the rural youth who was fooled by Boss Lin into buying a hat. Only this one scene, there are almost no lines. But the mere act of putting on a hat and looking in the mirror is enough to be unforgettable.
A similar situation also happened in the star-studded movie "Red Flag Spectrum". This movie brings together Cui Wei, Zhao Lian, Yu Ping, Ling Yuan, Ge Cunzhuang and many other stars, Yu Zhongyi just plays Zhu Laozhong's son Dagui in it, not much to say, it is easy to be forgotten, but his performance is remarkable.
In 1960, Yu Zhongyi starred with Yu Ping in "Cultivating Clouds and Sowing Rain". In the film, the two play brothers and sisters together, with tacit understanding. In particular, the copper hammer played by Yu Zhongyi, a forked waist action, is impressive. Since then, every time I mention the name Yu Zhongyi, an image that immediately appears in front of my eyes is this character.
For more fans, they will definitely be more familiar with the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" filmed by The North Film Studio in 1963. Yu Zhongyi also participated in the performance of this film. However, when everyone talks about this movie, the first thing that usually comes to mind is Gazi played by Angis and Luo Jinbao, played by Zhang Ying. But he often forgot about his existence. But in fact, the character he plays is very distinctive, that is, Allegro Liu. That paragraph of allegro can really be regarded as a magic ah.
But unfortunately, after filming "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", because of the arrival of a movement, Yu Zhongyi's acting path also appeared a blank period. It was not until 1976 that he reappeared in the movie "Horn stone", playing the role of Wang Weizhong. At this time, he, 47 years old, had begun to play middle-aged and elderly roles.
After that, he began to try to do the work of assistant director under the leadership of Xie Tian and others. At the same time, he also participated in some movies, such as Director Yu in "A Leaf Boat" and Gao Minglou in "Life". Especially in "Ruyi", he partnered Tao Yuling, played a couple, and played the role of Master Wang, and the image of a simple laborer jumped on the paper, which was very distinct and unforgettable.
In 1986, the 57-year-old Yu Zhongyi and his wife Sun Fengqin jointly directed the suspenseful TV series "Motherland T Cell", starring Guo Yuntai, Zhang Lianwen, Guo Zhenqing, etc., but the influence was relatively limited. Then, he directed film and television dramas such as "The Blood Case of Liangxiao" and "The Three Cases of the Ming Palace", and it was obvious that he was more interested in the suspenseful theme of the case, and he was also very good at filming.
When it comes to Yu Zhongyi's wife, Sun Fengqin, everyone may not be familiar with it. But she's also a remarkable character. She is not only a national first-class actress, but also a professor at the Beijing Film Academy. He also served as a line teacher for Zhang Guorong and others. Like her husband Yu Zhongyi, she also appeared on the screen in 1954, playing a role in "Women's Representative". Later, he also played the old mother of Li Shan in the 86 version of the TV series "Journey to the West".
Yu Zhongyi and Sun Fengqin, a husband and wife, can be said to have worked diligently in the North Film Studio for a lifetime. Especially Yu Zhongyi, although he always plays a supporting role, we can see from the works he starred in that even if the role is small, he can play it vividly. This shows that his desk work is very deep and meticulous. What he plays on the screen is basically a peasant image, with a unified shrewd and simple characteristics. However, there is also a big difference between the characters and the characters, and basically all of them can achieve their own appearances.
In 2004, Mr. Yu Zhongyi died of illness at the age of 75.
When Mr. Yu Zhongyi was alive, the media propaganda coverage of him was very rare. After his death, information about him on the Internet became even more limited. Gradually, everyone no longer remembers this actor, including the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and rarely mentions his name, which is really regrettable.
Today, Yaqing wants to arouse more friends and memories of him through our introduction. In those years, the images he left in the world of light and shadow have never been forgotten. It's just that the characteristics of a good actor are basically - let us remember the role, but forget the actor himself.
So, when we talk about Yu Zhongyi again, in front of your eyes, the first thing that comes to mind is which role he has created? Welcome everyone to interact with more friends through the message area. I am Yaqing, thank you again for your attention, we will meet again at the same time tomorrow.
