Although people often say that many skills are not pressed, but the old saying also often says that many arts do not support people, and learning is not refined, it is a refutation. Therefore, we can not only pursue the quantity of technology in life, but also pay attention to the quality of skills.
Simple things are done repeatedly, you are the expert; repeated things are done seriously, you are the winner. And as long as an actor can play a role well in his lifetime, it is a kind of success.
There are a number of special actors in the actor world, that is, special actors, as one of the best, Gu Yue is one that must be mentioned.
He is no stranger to many people, he was selected by Ye Jianying in 1978 to become a special actor to play Mao Zedong. Although Chairman Mao has many special actors, almost no one can stand out.
Many people's understanding of the term stylist is very limited, in fact, it is mainly due to the needs of the plot, or in order to achieve a special artistic effect, and sometimes even for the commercial purpose of the film, the use of role-players with special appearance conditions.
Because they look like a certain character, especially some modern leaders in China, and they are only good at this one character, they will hardly play other roles.
In fact, the special actor was originally a concept introduced from the former Soviet Union, but with the development, it has become a unique feature of our country, which was originally Chinese a way of collective recall.
However, with the passage of time, the main body of the audience is getting younger and younger, and they are becoming more and more unfamiliar with some of the modern leaders of China, while TV dramas and movies have become the same Mandarin, losing a strong rural tone, and the demand for collective memory has gradually faded, so the special group of special actors has gradually disappeared.
With the successive deaths of Gu Yue and Chai Yunqing, the retirement of Wang Tiecheng, the diversified development of Tang Guoqiang Liu Jin and others, the special actors are coming to an end, and the tribute film and television dramas such as "Liberation" may be the last time we see film and television works with special actors as the core lineup.
Special actors are not only limited, the play path is narrow, and the income is low, and gradually withdrawing from the market, in fact, it is inevitable, and no one will ever spend their whole life learning to play others, whether it is talking, walking, writing style, etc.
There will be no Zhang Keyao in order to play the young Mao Zedong, at the age of 44 is still crazy to lose 28 pounds, there will be No Zhang Fei in order to play the young Mao Zedong, within a month to swim to lose weight from 165 pounds to 130 pounds, but shock things happened.
Not to mention that when Gu Yue starred in the TV series "China Has a Mao Zedong", in order to play the elderly Mao Zedong, he also specially put on a sparse hair cover.
At that time, if the hair cover wanted to stick firmly, he had to use glue, and the glue contained alcohol, and Gu Yue was born with an allergy to alcohol, but in order to play the chairman's image, he hardened his scalp.
At the end of the day, Gu Yue's forehead began to inflame; a week passed, and Gu Yue's entire forehead began to fester. When I went to the hospital for examination, the circle of flesh on my forehead was blackened.
The professionalism and professionalism of the special actors is awe-inspiring, and they have spent their lives playing a role well, striving for every look and every action, without the slightest mistake or inadequacy.
Although they have not been extremely popular, they are really respectable and good actors, and as a very representative Gu Yue, how much do you know about his life and past?
Gu Yue, formerly known as Hu Shixue, was born in 1937 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, he was an orphan of a martyr, and grew up in an orphanage with only his sister for his life, and did not leave too many warm memories for Gu Yue here.
In 1949, when Gu Yue was 12 years old, he was rescued from the Guilin orphanage by the People's Liberation Army that went south at that time, and it was only then that he ended his life of displacement in various orphanages.
Since then, he has a home, and this family is the army, the army raised him, when he grew up, it was when he gave back to the army, he was influenced by the art of the literary troupe from childhood, and he was very interested in art.
His talent was very high, and he was willing to work hard, so although he was not very old in the literary troupe, he was still very outstanding and conspicuous, and his outstanding performance also gave him the opportunity to truly become a special actor of Mao Zedong later.
For the first time, Gu Yue realized that the resemblance he looked like the chairman was purely accidental, once, he took a train to go on a business trip, and a middle-aged man sitting next to him had been staring at him, and it was strange to be looked at like this, so he took the initiative to ask the other party.
As a result, the other party said that he looked like a person, and we often felt that we were different fireworks in this world, but suddenly someone said that you look like someone, and we still couldn't help but feel curious.
In particular, the other party also adhered to the principle of having pictures and truth, and mysteriously opened his own baggage, an oil painting of "Chairman Mao Goes to Anyuan".
This painting was popular all over the world at the time, so he got off the train and immediately bought a painting and carefully compared it with himself.
The chairman was about the same age as him in the painting, and the more he looked closely, the more he found that he had more similarities with the chairman, so after that, he imitated Chairman Mao little by little from the gestures of wearing, hairstyling, and holding cigarettes, which shocked his colleagues and exclaimed: It is one less mole.
Like or not, just for Bo Jun to laugh, after that, he returned to his job again, working hard, he is notoriously workaholic.
In 1976, with the death of Chairman Mao, the people's thoughts about him grew day by day, so the relevant departments issued an order to select special actors suitable for shaping chairman Mao's image throughout the whole army.
Among the many candidates, The 41-year-old Gu Yue, who was then the head of the Cultural Section of the Propaganda Department of the Political Department of the Kunming Military Region, stood out from it and was hand-picked by Ye Jianying, and in order to facilitate his memory, he split his surname and took Gu Yue's stage name.
At that time, his first wife, who was introduced to him, had died, and at this time he was accompanied by his second wife, Gui Ping, a drama actor in Kunming and a pillar of the theater.
It is precisely because of Gui Ping's support and help that Gu Yue's career has been able to advance by leaps and bounds, and his first work has starred in "Xi'an Incident", and then participated in "Four Crossings of Red Water", "Jinling Night", "Ancient City Love hate" and so on.
For the sake of Gu Yue, Gui Ping gave up her good future, Gu Yue's career was flourishing, Gui Ping's career situation was more and more embarrassing, due to the contrast between the two people's careers, the conflict of ideas, and the shortening of the time spent together, the marriage between the two eventually came to an end.
Because the Chairman Mao he played was so real, that the chairman's daughter Li Ne mistakenly thought that he was the real father, hugged him and cried bitterly, and was once mistaken for chairman Mao's abandoned child.
In fact, he just looked similar to Chairman Mao, who had aspired to play Chairman Mao 100 times, but he did not go against people's wishes, and finally only appeared 87 times.
After the divorce that year, Gu Yue was more than half a hundred years old, and he also took 2 daughters and 1 son, but he made his colleague Zhang Yan have a good feeling for him.
She is a special actor of Song Qingling, and she also had a marriage history, raising a son alone, and they often helped each other because of similar life experiences, and eventually came together.
Zhang Yan is more than ten years younger than Gu Yue, many people are not optimistic about this marriage, but if people drink cold and warm self-knowledge, an adult, she understands her choice, and after marriage, she also gave up her career for her husband, returned to the family wholeheartedly, took care of 4 children, and made a solid backing for Gu Yue.
In 1992, with his excellent performance in "The Story of Mao Zedong", he won the Best Actor Award at the 16th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films, and the first thing he did after winning the award was to share the glory with his wife.
In 2001, Gu Yue also became one of the 17 civilian generals in the army, and over the years, he has also been active on the screen as Chairman Mao.
Mao Zedong in "Ren Bi Shi" in 2004 was Gu Yue's last TV series, and on July 2, 2005, Gu Yue died at the age of 68 due to a sudden myocardial infarction during an event in Lingui County, Guangdong Province.
Everyone's life has its own glory, but also has its own life waves, Chairman Mao is, his actor Gu Yue is no exception, and on the road of life is to have the spirit of the Red Army expedition, but also to usher in that piece of their own glory!
