At the beginning of 2021, three plays, "Loading The Stage", "Circuit Prosecution Group" and "Mountains and Seas", have been broadcast successively, which has triggered many topics.
An urban emotional drama, an anti-corruption drama, a poverty alleviation drama, witty and funny with touch and tears, all of which are classics.
In the three film and television dramas, the same actor appears: You Yongzhi (formerly known as You Yong).
Especially in "Mountains and Seas", You Yongzhi subverted the previous image, created many surprises for the audience, and became the funniest explosive "old uncle" in early 2021.
You Yongzhi debuted in 1988, "professional cool" for 33 years, although he also became popular in the early years, but with the increase of age, the play path is limited, and in recent years it has been silent.
No one expected that at the age of 57, he could also use the funny and witty "lazy man" Li Dayou in "Mountains and Seas" to conquer the audience.
First, from a boy who loves to fight to a drama actor
You Yongzhi was born in Lintong District, Xi'an City, to parents who are engineers at the Northwest Research Institute of Chemical Industry.
Because his parents are busy at work, You Yongzhi has been a baby raised in the stock since he was a child, and his self-care ability is very strong.
Small tasks such as cooking, washing clothes, sewing buttons, etc., he basically does it, so that parents are very worry-free.
But even in learning, You Yongzhi is not enlightened, not only likes to do small actions, but also has a lot of "anti-bone".
You Yongzhi once blew himself up in "Tonight There is a play": when he was a child, he did not obey the discipline of the teacher, he once slapped the teacher, and now he thinks that he regrets it very much.
In addition to working against the teacher, in the compound, You Yongzhi is a thorn in the head.
Once, his family compound bought back a large boiler worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, And You Yongzhi was very interested in it, but the adults would not let him touch it, which was very bad for him.
In the middle of the night, the people in the compound were asleep, and he climbed into the hearth with his friends, and finally broke the boiler. The next day, his father beat him up in front of the whole hospital to calm the matter.
From childhood to adulthood, You Yongzhi did not take the usual path, and can be called "the second middle-aged youth who is not afraid of heaven", and he does not know how many scars have been left on his body.
But there is one thing that You Yongzhi has insisted on for many years: he likes to watch movies.
A movie, he can watch more than a dozen times, deeply attracted by the actors and storylines in it, but also let him have a preliminary understanding of the movie.
In 1980, 17-year-old You Yongzhi saw the xi'an drama theater's enrollment brochure and immediately had the idea of acting in a movie.
On the day of the interview, You Yongzhi still had the scars of a fight on his face, and the teacher asked, "Why did you get the wounds on your face?" You Yongzhi said: "Riding a bicycle hit the pole." "It caused a lot of laughter and turned the danger into a disaster."
That year, there were more than 8,000 students enrolled in the Xi'an Drama Theatre, and only 16 were recruited in the end, and You Yongzhi was one of them.
After being admitted to the Xi'an Drama Theatre, his class teacher was happier than his parents, because he finally did not affect the other students' further education.
When he was young, You Yongzhi, who looked outstanding but did not know it, 180 tall, straight and handsome, was definitely a dragon and phoenix among people, and it was not surprising that he could be admitted.
The maturity of men seems to be overnight.
After being admitted to the Xi'an Drama Theatre, You Yongzhi looked at the students around him who were extremely diligent, and he seemed to have opened up the trick.
In the morning, he followed his classmates to the moat to practice; in addition to class, he went to the library to read books, and also learned to listen to music to cultivate his emotions, and his life gradually entered a better state, and finally he was on the right track.
To this day, You Yongzhi recalls his life at the Xi'an Drama Theatre and is still extremely grateful.
In 1984, the 21-year-old You Yongzhi jumped again, entered the Shanghai Theater Academy with the first place in the Northwest District, and became classmates with Tian Min, He Yan, Dong Yunling, Cao Yi and others.
Second, the love of this life is Xu Qing but regrets to miss it
In addition to having excellent classmates, You Yongzhi also fell in love with his classmate Liu Xiaochun.
Men and women are beautiful, have the same hobbies, and coincide with youth, it is normal to love each other, and they talk about love.
After graduating from college, You Yongzhi and Liu Xiaochun both entered the drama troupe and naturally received a marriage license.
Although there is no house, no car and no savings, the two fiery hearts are very close, and they also fantasize about the beauty of the future.
In his career, You Yongzhi also caught up with the best period.
In those years, Ken Takakura became popular in China, and tough guys began to be popular, and You Yongzhi just happened to fit the image.
In his first work "The Price of Madness", You Yongzhi played a "tough guy type" policeman and gained a foothold in the show business circle.
Although the career gradually began, you Yongzhi and Liu Xiaochun's relationship did not withstand the test of chai rice oil and salt, and the two divorced peacefully at the end of 1989.
After leaving You Yongzhi for a few years, Liu Xiaochun married Guo Kaimin, who became popular because of "Lushan Love", and has always supported each other, and is still very happy today.
In 1991, when You Yongzhi was filming "Crazy", he met the great beauty Xu Qing, and was deeply attracted to the other party and began a crazy pursuit.
Xu Qing is beautiful and elegant, with both innocence and maturity, and has a fatal attraction to men, and it is too difficult to escape from her charm range.
You Yongzhi plunged headlong into this relationship, and he loved Xu Qing to the extreme, and it was not exaggerated at all to describe it as "holding it in his hand for fear of falling, and being afraid of melting in his mouth".
Unfortunately, a great beauty like Xu Qing is destined not to stop for anyone.
In 1993, Xu Qing and You Yongzhi participated in "Imperial City Roots" together, and the male protagonist was Wang Zhiwen, who became the hook that hooked Xu Qing.
After the TV series was filmed, Xu Qing took the initiative to break up with You Yongzhi and ran into Wang Zhiwen's arms.
And You Yongzhi, who has long been addicted to it, regards Xu Qing as the love of this life and cannot get out of this relationship at all.
According to You Yongzhi, after breaking up with Xu Qing, he had no intention of filming, had no love, and slept on the sofa of Ge You and Li Cheng's Confucianism for three years before he regained his strength.
Tough guys fight fiercely, and it is not fatal to love girls, and You Yongzhi is even more so.
In the years since, You Yongzhi has never talked about feelings again, and only focused on his work.
Subsequent "Big Family", "Chief Justice", "Emergency Landing", "Never Look Away", "Dream Pastoral" and so on, You Yongzhi has won many awards.
But no matter how successful the career is, the pain in the heart has never been compensated, and after countless midnight dreams, You Yongzhi has made up his mind to live a life alone.
It was not until 2001 that You Yongzhi's heart was gradually warmed.
Third, a girl who loved him appeared
Around 2000, friends around him wanted to introduce you yongzhi to the object, but you yongzhi's attitude was very resistant.
In the circle of friends, there was even a rumor that "You Yongzhi's body is defective", which made people cry and laugh.
In 2001, an iron brother who knew You Yongzhi's past, despite his objections, gave his contact information to a female graduate student who worshipped You Yongzhi at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and the fate slowly began.
This girl from the Central Academy of Fine Arts is called Shen Rong, a fan of You Yongzhi, and has always liked him very much.
Although You Yongzhi is more passive, the girl is very enthusiastic, sending messages, calling, and caring.
After getting used to the existence of Shen Rong, You Yongzhi slowly couldn't do without her, and the two naturally interacted, got married, and formed a family.
To this day, the two still have no children, but they have the same interests and hobbies, they will travel together, watch art exhibitions, play photography, and live a stable and happy life.
In his career, You Yongzhi also stopped sticking to the "tough guy type" role and began to try a variety of types.
In Wu Yusen's "Chibi", Liu Bei, who likes to weave straw shoes to send to his brothers; In "Ordinary World", Tian Fujun, who is the master of the people; in "Loading the Stage", the upstart Diao Dajun of Heser; his image began to change, and his career also had another starting point.
Until the recent "Mountains and Seas", You Yongzhi played the role of "lazy man + rogue" Li Dayou, with its own funny factor, becoming one of the most popular characters in the whole drama.
If the previous You Yongzhi conquered the audience by "handsome and cool", then the current You Yongzhi conquered the audience by "funny and grounded".
In the past 33 years of "professional cool" career, You Yongzhi has always been "holding" and has always been a man who is on high; and now You Yongzhi has finally learned to "put down", began to take the civilian route, and excavated more potential on his body.
Li Da has a dirty look, funny and witty lines, rogue and grounded performance, the achievement of the role and You Yongzhi, so that he ushered in the spring of his career at the age of 57.
Seeing Li Dayou in "Mountains and Seas", will you can't help but laugh out loud?
