At the beginning of 2021, "Flowing Golden Years" starring Liu Shishi and Ni Ni became popular all over the Internet, and the supporting roles in the play were also quite eye-catching.
Chen Daoming, who has his own hegemonic temperament, changed his past image and showed people with a fashionable avant-garde style, interpreting the non-greasy Ye Jinyan.
Ye Jinyan's "praise" secretary Fan Jingang, played by Tian Yu, has witty and humorous lines, acts wisely and foolishly, is cute and shrewd, and has a full sense of character.
In addition to the above two, there are Wang Xiao, who plays Yang Ke, Wu Yanshu, who plays Grandma Jiang, and so on, all of which have their own styles in the play.
And today, the one we want to introduce is an actor who is known as a "master of praise" in the industry: Tian Yu.
Although in terms of image, Tian Yu belongs to the "middle-aged uncle type" and does not have any characteristics; from the performance point of view, Tian Yu has a unique charm and makes the audience remember it vividly.
1. Tian Yu, who grew up in the People's Theater
Tian Yu's brother was called Tian Lei, and the family took the meaning of "first thunder and then rain", which led to his name.
And Tian Yu's career path seems to confirm this sentence.
Tian Yu grew up in the area of Beijing's Huguo Temple, near the Hutong is the People's Theater, when he was a child, he and his friends did not hesitate to climb the windows of the People's Theater.
Watching the actors in the theater hook their faces, sting, and stickers, he found it particularly interesting, and he had fantasized about putting on their flowery clothes and going to the stage for a walk.
After being a little older, Tian Yu fell in love with watching plays, and as long as the People's Theater had performances, he would go to "rub the opera" to watch, and he was criticized for this.
Tian Yu's parents are both teachers, hoping that the children can become intellectuals, rather than "not doing the right thing".
But Tian Yu's grandfather is very supportive of his nephew, who grew up in the old society, was originally an old Chinese medicine doctor, and his only hobby in life is to watch drama, and the grandfather and grandson are very good at spleen and stomach.
At night, Tian Yu and his brother Tian Lei put on the family flower sheets and performed horseback riding to fight and Guan Gong to fight Qin Qiong to grandpa, and tossed the bed straight.
After going to junior high school, Tian Yu fell in love with music lessons, regarded the Little Tigers as an idol, and wore sunglasses to imitate the Little Tigers to learn to dance and sing, and also tossed and turned.
When she was in high school, Tian Yu's cousin studied piano at the China Conservatory of Music, and she liked Jiang Wen in "Beijingers in New York", and the siblings often got together to discuss film and television dramas, and they were both literary and art activists.
During the college entrance examination, my cousin said: "If you can be an actor, maybe you can still know Jiang Wen, and ask me for an autographed photo." ”
Hearing his cousin's proposal, Tian Yu also felt that acting was an interesting thing, so he decided to enter the acting school.
For the exam, he also used Jackson's "Dangerous" as an accompaniment, and wrote and directed a breakdancing dance.
During the exam, Tian Yu's dance was very emotional, and he performed a witty sketch, which was praised by the teacher for his strong expressiveness, so he was admitted to the Chinese opera and became Xia Yu's classmate.
However, after going to the Chinese opera, Tian Yu found that because he was too anxious to play the main role, he could only play some roles such as father and brother.
Their teacher of that year also said to Tian Yu in a serious tone, "Don't worry, you can't act anything now, and when you are thirty years old, you will have a day to emerge." ”
Unexpectedly, the teacher also said that there was less, and Tian Yu stayed up until he was 40 years old, so that he could keep the bright moon and see the clouds.
In the year of graduation of Chinese opera, most of the students went out to take the drama, but Tian Yu did not shoot the drama, followed the teacher for 4 graduation dramas in a row, and became an excellent graduate.
Second, Tian Yu and Tang Wei are accompanied by each other
In 1999, Tian Yu graduated, was assigned to work in the China Youth Art Theater, and began his 20-year supporting role.
Because he often plays small people, Tian Yu likes to observe them very much in life. Over time, Tian Yu found that many ordinary people are very jumpy, very absurd, and very comedic.
If the normalcy of these people's lives is integrated into the performance, will it be more like ordinary people and more realistic framework?
On the stage of drama performance for many years, Tian Yu speculated again and again, and experimented again and again, and only then did he have Teacher Wang, driving school instructor and Wang Qinian who were natural and jumpy.
Between 2001 and 2015, Tian Yu played a variety of different small characters in a total of 35 film and television dramas, or stirred up nonsense, or witty and funny, or flamboyant and cheerful, thousands of faces, different.
Also in the struggle period of their careers, Tian Yu and Tang Wei had an unforgettable relationship.
In 2004, Tian Yu partnered with Tang Wei to shoot the movie "Police Flower Swallow".
This is Tang Wei's debut work, the whole film is cheerful and clear, light and humorous, showing the good style and emotional life of the new generation of traffic police.
In fact, Tian Yu and Tang Wei are both alumni of Chinese opera, but Tang Wei is three years younger than Tian Yu.
In college, Tang Wei once had a relationship with a director surnamed Li, and this director surnamed Li also knew Tian Yu, and the three of them indirectly became friends.
Later, Tang Wei broke up with director Surnamed Li, and then entered the crew of "Police Flower Swallow", and got along with Tian Yu day and night, and became a lover.
At that time, neither of them was famous, they had been looking for various opportunities in the circle, and their lives were also miserable haha.
But it is precisely this kind of suffering feeling that is precious, even after the breakup, Tang Wei also said: "Tian Yu is the best person for me, very important to me." ”
The two were in love for three years, and they became acquainted because of the drama and broke up because of the drama.
In 2007, Ang Lee's "Color, Ring" casting, Tang Wei went to audition, was labeled by Ang Lee as "there is a kind of classical beauty", became the Wang Jiazhi in the movie.
This play cooperated with Liang Chaowei, earned enough gimmicks, and also needed to make huge sacrifices.
To this day, the key scenes in the film, whether they are fake scenes or real ones, are still a question that fans and the media are chasing.
And it is precisely because of this play that the relationship between Tian Yu and Tang Wei has come to an end.
Some people say that it was Tian Yu who hated Tang Wei for acting in this play and finally proposed to break up, but Tang Wei himself denied it.
In the face of media interviews, Tang Wei also praised Tian Yu: "He is very good, has always silently supported me to care about me, without him, there would be no movie." ”
On Tian Yu's side, he never mentioned anything about his feelings for Tang Wei in the past.
In 2009, Tian Yu married his colleague Wang Yue, not only had a common career, but also gave birth to two lovely daughters, and life was happy and harmonious.
Over the years, Tian Yu and Tang Wei have become each other's old love, and they have a happy family, but they still remain silent and grateful to each other.
Third, the "master of the praise" in the movie
Because of "Color, Ring", Tang was the only one who became popular and has since embarked on the peak of his career.
And Tian Yu is still playing one small person after another, as if his career has not improved at all.
It was not until 2015, in Shen Teng's "Charlotte Troubles", that Tian Yu gradually rose to fame with the role of Teacher Wang.
Teacher Wang looks bad, but he also loves his students, obviously greedy for money and owes, but he is not annoying at all.
Although peonies are good, they still need green leaves; movies are good, but they also need to be sacrificed.
In a movie, the appearance of a golden supporting role is not inferior to the protagonist.
Teacher Wang's success seems to open Tian Yu's second vein of Ren Dou and let him find another way of interpreting the little people.
Dong Ge in "Shy Iron Fist", driving school instructor in "Flying Life", eunuch Gao Lishi in "The Legend of the Demon Cat", etc., are obviously ordinary roles, but Tian Yu performed differently, vivid and interesting.
Tian Yu's brilliance does not lie in the number of scenes, but in the expression of the soul of the characters.
Some viewers said: "I like this kind of 'serious funny' actor, but it is not superficial, and there is life in the funny, and there is the wisdom of the life of the little people." ”
In 2019, "Qing Yu Nian" was broadcast, and Tian Yu continued to play his own praise technique, becoming the funny responsibility of the whole drama, which made people feel endlessly evocative.
Some netizens commented that Wang Qinian was the first praise in Qingguo, the first financial fan, and the first wife to manage strictly.
In fact, in major film and television dramas, Tian Yu has always been a supporting role in the praise, using his acting skills to set off the protagonist, making the whole play more colorful and more vivid.
And Secretary Fan in "Flowing Golden Years", Tian Yu is still full of drama, "flattering" in front of Ye Jinyan, and "mother" in front of Zhu Suosuo, which are different.
This Fan secretary, in addition to gossip, but also loyalty to the boss, responsibility to the enterprise, understanding and support for friends, there are many ordinary people's shining points, once again became an excellent praise.
Every supporting role played by Tian Yu seems to live around us, in the vegetable market, on the street, in the hair salon, may encounter such a character.
They are occasionally positive, occasionally negative and tired, occasionally witty and humorous, occasionally painful and sentimental, but wipe their faces, or continue to laugh at life.
Tian Yu's life-like performance is the embodiment of the mixture of skills and experiences, the fit of mood and life, in order to implant the role into the soil of reality and become a living existence.
On the road of supporting roles, Tian Yu has been gone for 20 years, and there may be many years in the future, but I believe that he must be the most brilliant supporting role and the most unignowable existence.
