Xie Weicai, a famous actor who played Su Yu, also performed a speech by Su Yu on the spot because he had come to our school to offer condolences and performances. At that time, he was still young and did not understand things, did not know who Su Yu was sacred, and knew very little about Xie Weicai. More than 20 years have passed, Teacher Xie Weicai has passed away, and his portrayal of Su Yu is deeply alive in people's hearts. After reading Xie Weicai's relevant information, I understood that without experience, I did not understand the thickness, and no matter how hard the later Su Yu actors tried, because they did not have Xie Weicai's personal experience, they would not reproduce the living Su Yu.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, the living "Su Yu" is gone</h1>
Recently, the famous director Gao Xixi directed the "Armageddon" TV series, and the support is not loud, and the opposition is not small. One of the points of contention is the controversy over the selection of actors. In addition to Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and other central leadership collectives of the older generation, the core actors of "Armageddon" are Lin Biao, who commanded the Liaoshen Campaign, and Su Yu, who commanded the Huaihai Campaign. Su Yu, played by Guo Guangping in the "Armageddon" TV series, once played Su Yu in "General Su Yu", and is also a more recognized and popular role among Su Yute-type actors. However, the difference between Guo Guangping's appearance image and the real General Su Yu is quite different, which can be a gimmick for the melon-eating masses who are not familiar with Su Yu, but it is not satisfactory for senior Su Yu fans. In fact, the special actor who really brought Su Yu to life is called Xie Weicai, who not only experienced the Huaihai Campaign but also grew up in the army as a literary and artistic soldier, personally saw Su Yu himself, and as a witness to that period of history, he can grasp the shaping of historical figures very well, but unfortunately, Teacher Xie Weicai died at the end of May this year, which is regrettable!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, Xie Weicai's life is legendary, and his fate is sometimes really strange. </h1>
Xie Weicai's father, Xie Degui, was a major officer in the Kuomintang army who fought in the Battle of Huaihai. However, with the rout of the Kuomintang army, Xie Degui fled with his wife and four children, and accidentally lost his eldest son, Xie Weicai. Xie Weicai was only 7 years old. A 7-year-old child has personally experienced the tragic and fugitive battle of Huaihai, which has a profound understanding of his growing up to participate in "Armageddon" as Su Yu.
Xiao Xie Weicai became a "prisoner" of the People's Liberation Army and was temporarily taken into custody. Xiao Xie Weicai told the People's Liberation Army that his grandmother's family was in Jurong County near Nanjing, and he wanted to go to his grandmother's house. So the People's Liberation Army arranged for a repatriated captive soldier to take Xiao Xie Weicai and the road and the road fee to embark on the road of searching for relatives. If Xie Weicai had met his grandmother's family as he wished, perhaps he would have nothing to do with Su Yu in this life, but fate would have been tricky. Who knew that the prisoner soldier who had no conscience not only did not send him to his destination but also ran away with the road fare himself, Xiao Xie Wei had to eat all the way to Jurong County, but how could he find the huge county town with only vague memories? Without any relatives, he completely became a hanako and lived on the streets, hoping to meet his lost parents. However, this wish did not come true, and a few months later the "Million Heroes Division" of the People's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing, Xie Weicai was thrown into a car of a certain training team of the Kuomintang army to escape, and the Kuomintang training team in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, was completely annihilated by the People's Liberation Army, and Xie Weicai became a "prisoner" for the second time.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, creep acting anecdotes</h1>
Because of his young age, he became a literary and artistic soldier in the Literary and Artistic Corps of the Twelfth Army of the Second Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and although he had no cultural background, he was intelligent and studious, relying on diligent self-study, and soon stood out. He was 8 years old for the first time on stage to play a poor child crying and crying mother, he could not cry, the squad leader reminded him, let him think of his lost parents, Xiao Xie Weicai suddenly burst into tears, howling and crying, after the show has not cried enough! Xie Weicai often mentioned this experience later, which had an important enlightening effect on his future acting career. Later, Xie Wei entered the Peking Opera Troupe, and a very interesting thing happened. It turned out that Xiao Xie Weicai played Zhuge Liang's piano boy in "Empty City Plan", and because he was too tired to stand and fall asleep, he fell from the "city head" and smashed into the "city wall", which caused the audience to burst into laughter.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >4, witnessing Su Yu's style, I did not expect to get together later</h1>
After the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Xie Weicai entered Korea with the Peking Opera Troupe of the Volunteer Army. During a visit by Zhou Enlai and Su Yu to North Korea, the Peking Opera Troupe performed the traditional play "Qin Xianglian", in which Su Yu played a role, and had the privilege of witnessing the style of a generation of famous generals Su Yu, of course, at this time, as a teenager, he did not think that he would have an indissoluble relationship with Su Yu in the future, but he was deeply attracted by Su Yu's demeanor.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >5, familiar with "Su Yu", successfully shaped "Su Yu", Su Yu's wife recognized</h1>
In 1989, when bayi Film Studio was preparing for "Armageddon", Xie Weicai received an invitation from the film crew to audition, and he did not expect to let him play General Su Yu. After the makeup artist's careful makeup, Xie Weicai has been more consistently recognized in appearance. He also passed the performance with many years of stage skills, but the director said to him: You look like Su Yu, you can also perform, but the temperament is not enough. You should read more about the relevant information and enrich yourself. Xie Weicai had personally seen Su Yu, and from the bottom of his bones, he felt that he did not have the temperament of Su Yu to command thousands of troops and horses, and since he was related to General Su Yu, he would not give up easily, and Xie Weicai successfully shaped Su Yu in the Huaihai Campaign of "Armageddon" through his own efforts. In particular, many senior central leading cadres who worked with Su Yu also recognized his "Su Yu" performance. Among them, Yang Shangkun, the president of the country at the time, said: You Su Yu acted well! And Ding Zhao, who was once a subordinate of Su Yu, also said, "I am a subordinate of Su Yu, I know him, you think, you perform his style." Of course, the highest evaluation also came from the approval of Su Yu's wife Chu Qing. Once when Chu Qing left Xie Weicai to eat, Chu Qing's grandson and grandson said to this "Su Yu", "Like, like, that look is particularly like!" "No wonder it looks so familiar, like, like my grandfather!"
For Xie Weicai, who has a special experience, he can play the role of Su Yu in a pure fire, with false chaos, and today's actors are not enough of the early homework, only by a little understanding and a little imitation of the historical film can pass the director's eyes, so how to act is underheated, how can not play the real style of General Su Yu. With the death of Xie Weicai, there is no successor to the actor who is really familiar with Su Yu, and if he has to act, he can only "act".
