In the 80s and 90s of the last century, some high-quality TV dramas were produced, which are not outdated today, and the 90 version of the "Fengshen List" was also a classic at that time, in the next 20 years, whether it was TV or movies, there were countless remakes on the theme of Fengshen Yanyi, but none of them could turn over this mountain.
Remember the "Tuxing Sun" in the "List of Fengshen Gods"? At that time, I really thought that the actor of "Tuxingsun" was a child, and when I grew up, I learned that "Tuxingsun" looked like that, and the actor was called Yu Huadong. He was born in 1960 to parents who were originally employees of state-run units, with four older brothers and one older sister.
After the image of Yu Huadong as Tu Xingsun in the TV series "List of Fengshen Gods" was recognized and accepted by the majority of the audience, for a long time, many media paid attention to him, and he also won the titles of "the first dwarf star in the Far East", "the most famous dwarf star in China" and so on, and successive interviews once made him a busy person.
Since then, Yu Huadong has been invited by the director to play the role of dwarf many times, playing a little monk in the 1986 movie "Thirteen Sisters of the Heroine", playing a dwarf in the 1989 movie "Green Blood Sword", and acting as an entertainer Big Tiger in "Revenge of the Big World". In the 1989 movie "Stranger at the End of the World", he played the anti-horn god gong sect leader. The 1991 film "Bittersweet Three Brothers" dwarf husband Lu Deng, and the 2001 "Legend of Cricket King" and so on.
From 1985 to 1991, Yu Huadong starred in 11 film and television works, an average of 2 works per year, because he dared to fight, he was respected by the overseas film and television industry: the first dwarf star in the Far East and the most famous dwarf star in China. When filming "Fengshen List", Yu Huadong earned more than 16,000 yuan in 5 episodes, which was an astronomical number for ordinary people 27 years ago.
A "List of Fengshen Gods" can be said to have put Yu Huadong on the peak of his career, and when he first finished filming, Yu Donghua could say that he did not dare to walk on the street, for fear of being recognized. This was his most glorious time. After acting in "List of Gods", his career gradually declined. It is precisely because of the limitations of the play that the performance opportunities have been greatly reduced.
In 1988, Yu Huadong was introduced to marry Lu Rufang, an embroidered woman from Changfeng County, and it is said that her mother-in-law was still favored. Yu Huadong did not have a fixed job, and later due to the sudden rise of actors from all walks of life, Yu Huadong gradually had no drama to shoot, and some performance units wanted to sign a contract with him, but they were all rejected by his inability to love.
Yu Huadong has always been accustomed to others inviting him, and once some performance units wanted to sign a contract with him, but he refused. Not only that, Yu Huadong never asked some directors if there was a suitable role for him, and this habit is still the same today.
In this era when networking is needed for everything, there are fewer and fewer roles to play for him, until there is no drama to shoot later. Now the economy is also particularly difficult, and his community sees his difficulties and pays him a minimum insurance of more than 300 yuan per month. And in order to make money, he will go to the nightclub to perform, turn over a few heels, say a few "meat" paragraphs, "the audience is happy, and then people will give him a red envelope."
Despite his family's poverty, he was very doting on his son, and in order to fulfill his dream of painting, he saved money, tightened his trouser belt, and saved 10,000 yuan for his son to attend the Academy of Fine Arts.
