From the "Fighting Gasification Horse" in "Fighting the Broken Sky" to the "Duan Yu Peeing Pants" in the new version of "Tianlong Babu", netizens have questioned Yu Rongguang's directorial road and then overturned.
But who would have thought that he would have been red to purple in another circle, and the limelight was directly approaching Jet Li.
"A few hundred yuan a month, what kind of life are you playing?"
An authentic Beijing grandfather was able to make a name for himself in Hong Kong in the 90s, and was even known as "Stallone Asia".
Some people have said that if Yu Rongguang is not too low-key, he will definitely be popular with Jet Li and Zhen Zidan.
What is the strength of the undervalued Yu Rongguang?
Today, I will talk to everyone about Yu Rongguang, who is "red".
In 1958, Yu Rongguang was born into a Peking Opera family, and his father, Yu Mingkui, was a Peking Opera performance artist of the "Mingchun Society" in Beijing.
Under the influence of the family atmosphere, Yu Rongguang began to learn the basic skills of Peking Opera from an early age.
At the age of 11, he was admitted to the Beijing Fengleijing Opera Troupe as a martial arts performer, and won many awards during this period.
As we all know, learning Peking Opera is not an overnight thing, practicing three nines in winter and practicing three volts in summer, and it is impossible to become a role without suffering.
Yu Rongguang is not without shouting bitterness, and children will always find ways to be lazy.
Every time he was discovered by the master, the master would take the rattan and teach him a lesson.
In this way, ten years of training as a day, Yu Rongguang practiced a skill.
On the stage again, Yu Rongguang seemed to be born with a martial life, which made everyone look at him with astonishment.
In Beijing in the 1980s, Yu Rongguang became a well-known horn, and it was difficult to find a ticket, and even climbed over the mountains and mountains to see his plays.
But who knows, Yu Rongguang's ideal of becoming a corner at only 20 years old is not here.
In 1982, a "Shaolin Temple" sensationalized the country, and Jet Li became famous overnight.
The fierce martial arts scenes in the film make countless young people want to go to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, and Yu Rongguang has a dream of becoming a kung fu star in his heart.
Yu Rongguang immediately signed up for the actor training class at the Beijing Film Academy, but unfortunately failed.
As the old saying goes, God closes a window for you and opens a door at the same time.
Xu Xiaoming, a well-known director in Hong Kong, also wanted to go north after seeing the fire of "Shaolin Temple", so he prepared a kung fu film "Kapok Robes".
By chance, Xu Xiaoming saw Yu Rongguang, who felt that Yu Rong was tough-looking, and he was a Peking Opera actor, and he was a rare talent, so he invited Yu Rongguang to participate in "Kapok Robes" and play the big villain - Qi Tianyuan.
In the film, Yu Rongguang made a fierce move, a clean and sharp move, coupled with the aura of his own image, as soon as the film was released, Yu Rongguang was on fire.
At this time, Xu Xiaoming saw the potential of Yu Rongguang, and originally set Xu Xiangdong as the protagonist of his second film "Mirage", but also temporarily changed to Yu Rongguang.
In order to praise him, Xu Xiaoming personally went down to the scene and played the role of "A Mao" in the green leaf to Yu Rongguang.
Interestingly, when Yu Rongguang really became a kung fu star, he did not feel excited, but did not like this feeling very much.
"It's two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and I haven't eaten yet; at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, I'm about to eat, and I have to go to work immediately." I can't eat enough, I don't sleep well, and I have to smile at the camera in the middle of the night at minus tens of degrees, wearing a single piece of clothing and pants. What kind of work does this? "
Yu Rongguang also threatened that "to shoot again is a grandson." "
But the punch in the face came quickly, and the success of the film made Yu Rongguang feel a great sense of accomplishment, and he began to feel that making a movie was an interesting and meaningful thing.
In the 1990s, Jet Li soared in Hong Kong with the "Wong Fei Hung" series of films, attracting a large number of mainland actors to go south to seek their dreams, including Yu Rongguang.
When he first arrived in Hong Kong, he didn't speak Cantonese, didn't know the routines of Hong Kong kung fu films, and had to learn everything from scratch.
In 1992, Zhang Xinyan, the director of "Shaolin Temple", took a fancy to Yu Rongguang and invited him to star in the movie "Dongying Ranger". However, in the end, the box office was dismal, and it failed to continue the glory of "Shaolin Temple".
In 1993, Yu Rongguang collaborated with Wang Zuxian and Lin Qingxia in the film "The Undefeated Rise of the East", in which he played the male number one - Gu Changfeng.
To be able to match lin qingxia and Wang Zuxian, the two goddesses, can imagine how strong Yu Rongguang's strength is.
In the Hong Kong circle for ten years, Yu Rongguang can be literate and martial, whether it is a positive role or a villain, he can play.
In particular, the treacherous and cunning but martial arts villain is impressive, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the Fu Guang he played in the movie "A Letter to Daddy".
In the film, Yu Rongguang, together with Lu Huiguang and Zou Zhaolong, confront Jet Li and Xie Miao's father and son, and this action scene can be called a classic of Hong Kong action movies.
What is even more breathtaking is that Yu Rongguang's hand hidden in his clothes is like a dragon, and Jet Li is caught off guard.
As the leader of the villain, Yu Rongguang is not only skillful, his image is even more unforgettable. Day and night, with a black sunglasses, a crooked head, classic lines emerge endlessly.
"Brothers are here to sell", "What is the life of a few hundred dollars?" And so on.
Such a characteristic villain role is difficult to forget.
In 1996, Yu Rongguang starred in "Stormtrooper Fury Street", playing professor Hun Bandit, who is also the most ferocious existence in the film. The male protagonist Liu Qingyun is more like a little brother in front of him.
At this time, some people will inevitably ask: Why has Yu Rongguang, who has so many classic characters and real kung fu, been tepid?
In my opinion, the classics left by Yu Rongguang are mostly villain roles, and what the audience likes to watch and remember are positive characters, and if the villains play too well, they will be characterized, and even affect the development of the acting path.
On the other side, Jet Li, from the beginning of his debut, played a positive role and strictly controlled the quality of the film, leaving the audience with a very upright image along the way.
Experiences cannot be replicated, and different opportunities make different lives.
For the problem of the two people in the outside world compared, Yu Rongguang also looked at it, and said lightly:
"I admire Jackie Chan and Jet Li, and they have also experienced many hardships. Jet Li was snubbed in the United States for several years to have today, I am not a person who complains about the world, I try harder. "
After 1997, Hong Kong films began to decline, Yu Rongguang tried to turn his career to the mainland, no one would have thought that he would be in a career explosion for more than ten years.
Returning to the mainland, Yu Rongguang no longer set his sights on the film circle, he plunged into the television circle and began to try more possibilities.
He said that he is a person who likes to toss, and the more the bully plays, he plays a hero, and the hero is tired of playing and wants to try the villain role.
Love toss is life!
Therefore, in 1997, Yu Rongguang directed and acted in the TV series "Ping An Office".
No one expected this small-cost production to catch fire as soon as it was released, and the unexpected success gave him confidence, and he decided to concentrate on making TV series.
In 2001, Yu Rongguang filmed a TV series "Qian Wang", which was nominated for the Golden Eagle Award for Chinese TV drama.
In 2003, Yu Rongguang's self-directed and self-starred TV series "The September Storm of Chinese Criminal Police" won the Golden Shield Award again.
In 2006, Yu Rongguang was 48 years old and ushered in the second spring of his career.
He starred in the anti-Japanese drama "Wolf Poison Flower", played Chang Fa in the play, and unlike the previous anti-Japanese dramas, Chang Fa is an "anti-hero" existence, Yu Rongguang played this character to life, which was unanimously affirmed by the audience.
In 2009, he played Guan Yunchang in "Three Kingdoms".
Before the broadcast of this drama, there were still many viewers who were not optimistic about Guan Yunchang, played by RongGuang, after all, there was a CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in front, and the audience was prone to preconceptions.
However, Yu Rongguang still interpreted his own characteristics by virtue of his innate martial life and healthy posture.
Looking at Yu Rongguang's classic role, we will find that whether it is the villain in the movie or the tough guy xiaosheng in the TV series, he is actually not bound by anything, and he is comfortable with the role, and what he plays is what it is!
In 2013, Yu Rongguang directed a "Legend of Dance Music" that was highly acclaimed, and a certain valve user gave a high score of 8.8.
In 2017, Yu Rongguang was awarded the "Golden Oak Gold Medal Director Award" in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Chinese TV dramas.
At this time, people began to re-examine Yu Rongguang, and he was indeed underestimated because he had been tepid.
But before the audience could apologize to Rongguang, in 2018, Yu Rongguang's path of directing was hit hard.
This year, Yu Rongguang directed the filming of a mysterious martial arts drama "Fighting to Break the Sky", which is based on the novel of the same name, and the beginning of the novel should have been a group of very powerful characters, who used the ability of "Fighting Qi to Transform Wings" to fly to the Soul Hall.
Who expected, the classic scene of "Fighting Qihua Wing" in the TV series was directly ignored, and changed to a crowd riding a horse to the front of the temple, which surprised the audience.
In this way, the mysterious color of the whole drama has been greatly reduced, and some fans of the original book have ridiculed the "fighting gasification wing" into "fighting gasification horse".
To this day, the Internet is still full of mockery and ridicule.
In 2021, Yu Dao spent 3 years to create a new version of "Tianlong Eight Parts", originally thought that Yu Dao wanted to be ashamed of a snow, who knows, overturned again.
As of the date of writing, 19 episodes have been broadcast, a certain valve rating of 3.4, and it is very unlikely that it will be reversed in the later stage.
In this play, Qiao Feng's handsome performance made the image of "Qiao Gang Lord" in the audience's heart collapse.
Subsequent roles such as Duan Yu and Xuan Zhu have not been recognized by the audience, especially the shaping of the role of "Duan Yu", which has been controversial.
At present, this new version of "Tianlong Eight Parts" puts Yu Rongguang in a more awkward position, and where to go next is still unknown.
Yu Rongguang has been looking for a path that is truly suitable for him, but every time there is a slight improvement, fate will give him a blow.
Say that Yu Rongguang has no strength? So where should he leave behind the classic roles and awards he has won?
Perhaps it was the right time for Yu Rongguang to be born, and fate always teased him.
But sometimes it is not good to think carefully, not to be ostentatious, to live a low-key life, and to adhere to the original intention of integrity?
