Film Fenghua photography

Recently, a group of videos of "Daming Fenghua" were circulated on the Internet, and the netizens shouted too touching after watching it.

"It's tears!"

"If I were at the scene, I would burst into tears in an instant!"

It turned out that this touching moment was 73-year-old Wang Xueyin, kneeling on the stage and kowtowing to all the actors. The sincerity and humility of the old opera bones are really touching.

Wang Xueyin is so amiable outside the play, but Judy he plays in the play is an overbearing and grounded hardcore emperor.

Facing the descendants, he is a grandfather full of affection, and facing the courtiers, he is an emperor who combines benevolence and righteousness.

Wang Xueyin vividly interpreted the complex side of Judy's personality, and this superb acting skill naturally ushered in anger:

"Teacher Wang brought Judy to life, and people put up a three-dimensional performance."

"Teacher Wang Xueyin really restored Judy's design in my mind with her acting skills. The old man is a thief! "

Zhu, who plays with him, said:

"When I was behind him, I could feel his light.

An actor in his seventies was completely immersed in the scene and performed beautifully. The whole process impressed me deeply. "

When it comes to Wang Xueyin, everyone should be familiar with it.

He is the unfathomable Guo Juxia in the legend of Wulin;

He is thirteen Yan, the proud king of music in Mei Lanfang;

He is Li Yutang, a patriotic businessman in bodyguards and assassins.

He is the wheel king with both good and evil in the sword rain.

He is insidious and cunning in orphan Zhao;

He is an adult who is still calm in the face of the blood shed in Heroes of Heaven and Earth.

Many people admire his superb performance, but few people know that Wang Xueyin went through many hardships before becoming a formal actor.

In his dictionary of life, the word "not falling behind" can be said to run through.

0 1

In 2008, the film Mei Lanfang was released.

The 62-year-old plays the famous actress "Aunt Thirteen" in "The Pear Garden", and has become the focus of the audience with her amazing acting skills.

Many people say that he became popular because he played thirteen swallows.

Wang Xueyin shook his head again and again: "The word' explosive red' is strange to me, and I didn't become famous overnight."

In this world, there is never an unprepared birth, only the accumulation comes naturally.

Wang Xueyin is no exception.

1963, fourteen-year-old Wang Xueyin joined the army and became a literary and art soldier. Unfortunately, because of sudden family changes, he was forced to take off his military uniform and become a worker.

The future is bleak and life is embarrassing, but Wang Xueyin didn't let himself down, but quickly adjusted his state and waited for the opportunity in silence.

This opportunity is really waiting for him.

On one occasion, the propaganda team of the unit arranged a drama. Near the premiere, the protagonist sprained his ankle, so someone said that Wang Xueyin should play it.

Then, Wang Xueyin drove the duck to the shelf and even took greetings and tricks.

Unexpectedly, it was such a mistake that brought a turn for the better to Wang Xueyin's life.

At that time, the deputy director of Bayi Factory saw the play and thought this young man was good, so he recommended him to Director Wang Ping.

Wang Ping looked at it: This is definitely a good prospect for acting!

I took Wang Xueyin to the factory and arranged for him to play an ordinary soldier burning charcoal in the movie We are the Eighth Route Army.

This is Wang Xueyin's first contact with movies, and he fell in love with movies at once.

So he ran to ask Wang Ping, "Do you think I am suitable for this?"

Wang Ping certainly nodded.

The director's approval ignited Wang Xueyin's deep artistic dream, and he decided to apply for an art school.

In this way, 1978, 32-year-old Wang Xueyin was admitted to the air administration theater, and put on the military uniform again after 1 1 year.

After the blow and tempering of life, Wang Xueyin especially cherishes this hard-won opportunity, and he will seize it as long as there is a play.

He, Li and Pu Cunxin wear costumes every day, and they have to change seven or eight sets of costumes at the end of the day.

Even though he is only an extra, he is very interested and devoted to performing.

In addition to being a walk-on, Wang Xueyin is also responsible for dismantling the lighting group.

Whenever the last scene was finished, he and Pu Cunxin climbed to the top of the stage and waited, one on each side, and stayed there until the curtain call was over, and then quickly closed the curtain.

It was not until much later that Wang Xueyin played the leading role. After the performance, he couldn't help looking at the curtain, wondering who was watching him there.

After playing too many unknown roles such as A, B and C, Wang Xueyin finally got a line "Miss Zhao is in from the mire ..." on Chen Yi Mountain.

This time, he also got his own name: "Martyr-Wang Xueyin".

This is the first line of Li's "walk-on trio", so he also quipped:

"We finally have someone to talk to."

Later, Li played in the TV series Desire, ending his walk-on career and still running around.

It must be false to say that there is no mental imbalance.

In addition, people who walked together during that time, because they couldn't see hope, turned to find another way out.

Li was worried that he would choose this road, so he came to encourage him: "I am optimistic about you! You must never give up! "

Unexpectedly, Wang Xueyin was extremely firm: "Xue Laojian, don't worry, I will never be a deserter from Wang Xueyin."

Long walk-on years, loneliness and sadness, Wang Xueyin frankly accepted that the hardships of life did not overwhelm him, but gave him a deeper understanding of life and integrated this understanding into the performance.

No matter how small the role is, even if it is a group performance with no sense of existence, Wang Xueyin takes it as an opportunity to exercise.

Some media once asked him: "Does it take energy to learn to play a small role?"

Wang Xueyin seriously replied:

"Because you have to know what this role is, no matter how small it is.

For example, if you are a policeman, you must be a policeman. If you are a thief, the situation is even different.

Although it is a small role, even if it is a flash, we must study it. "

He said so and did the same.

On one occasion, Wang Xueyin received a task to play an old man sweeping the floor on Chang 'an Avenue. At that time, Wang Xueyin was only in his early thirties. Where did he play an old man in his eighties?

In order to play this uncle well, every day before dawn, he followed an old man in the street to the garbage dump and carefully imitated his every subtle move.

How to dress, how to walk, how to talk, even when arguing with others for garbage, he is watching.

On the day of the performance, he spoke authentic Beijing dialect, and his gestures were wobbly, looking like an old Beijing.

Mother and friends went to the theatre, but they didn't see who he was. When he finished, everyone thought he didn't show up.

On another occasion, Li found blood in his chest and asked what was going on.

Wang Xueyin replied faintly: "This was beaten by an opponent actor when shooting the opposite play yesterday."

It turned out that Wang Xueyin specially told his opponent to be heavier on the set, so that his reaction would be more accurate and his performance would be more in place.

Say that finish, and charged lee:

"Don't look for him, let alone tell him. If you tell him, he will have concerns and it will be difficult to put down his acting skills in the next step. "

In Wang Xueyin's eyes, there is no small role. He put all his energy into each character and gave it a soul.

The thirteen swallows in Mei Lanfang have only a few short shots, but Wang Xueyin did his homework to the extreme.

He has never sung Peking Opera, so he specially worshipped Mr. Li Shu as a teacher, starting from the most basic circus, stood up, raised his arm, waved Guan Gong's broadsword and did the same exercises.

In the end, the integrity, arrogance, loneliness, stubbornness, and inner fragility of Peking Opera masters are all vividly displayed in Wang Xueyin's lyrics with one action, one look and one sentence.

With the role of Thirteen Swallows, Wang Xueyin won the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor.

After 30 years of grinding a sword, he won't taste red until others return.

Chen Kaige said, "Xue Qi, you have been waiting for this role for so many years."

Wang Xueyin didn't deny it.

Thirteen Swallows opened the door to his career and ushered in his "golden age".

Some people say that Chen Kaige is his noble, but in fact he is his own noble.

You know, all luck needs early accumulation to pave the way.

If you haven't grasped every opportunity carefully and polished every role with your heart for more than 30 years, how can you be lucky enough to meet a noble person?

As he himself said:

"Be meticulous about every role you play, because it is good for the actors themselves. If you don't play it seriously, the director won't need you if you play a few roles. "

03

In the entertainment circle, Wang Xueyin has a good reputation: the first leading actor of the fifth generation director.

1984, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou co-produced a film "Yellow Land", which was later called the pioneering work of the fifth generation directors, with Wang Xueyin as the leading role.

Since then, Wang Xueyin has become an imperial hero of five generations of directors.

It is said that acting is the best way to direct, but Wang Xueyin never thought that he would be a director one day until he met Yang li Ping.

Yang li Ping wanted to make an autobiographical film, and Wang Xueyin enthusiastically helped to find photography, recording and music. When everything was ready, he found himself short of a director.

Looking for and choosing is always inappropriate. At this time, everyone suggested that he should come at all.

Wang Xueyin also wanted to challenge himself, so he simply agreed: "Good!"

The film took five years to make. Used1.2000 feet, cut 1.5 times.

He remembered that he entered the editing room in summer and finally came out when the summer heat came the next year.

The reason why it took so long is that the harsh Wang Xueyin can't tolerate any problems.

When he was watching a movie, he found that the drumming effect of a dance "Two Trees" was not good, and immediately decided to re-record it. It was four o'clock in the morning and everyone was tired.

"Never mind, I'll knock."

Wang Xueyin went into battle alone.

He put on headphones, looked at the picture, replaced the hammer with his hand, and the drums of pengpeng echoed in the recording studio late at night.

The film was shot in the later period of Japan, and the sound engineer was Mr. Koshiro Jinbo, a recording master who once hitchhiked with Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon.

After the recording that day, the 70-year-old man mysteriously told Wang Xueyin:

"I'm going to give a lecture to college students tomorrow. Do you know what I'm talking about? I won't tell you now. "

Later, someone told Wang Xueyin that what he said was "there is such a director in China"

This meticulous carving won the second prize of the Montreal Film Festival in Canada-the jury award.

Backstage, the chairman of the film festival asked Wang Xueyin, "Do you know what this award means?"

Wang Xueyin looked stunned: "What does this mean?"

"All awards were presented by sponsors, but this award was presented by the chairman of the jury, which shows the academic status of this film."

This is the international film festival award that many directors from professional backgrounds dream of. Unexpectedly, the beginner Wang Xueyin won easily, which surprised everyone.

After watching the movie, Jiang Wen called Wang Xueyin at one or two in the middle of the night:

"I'm not distracted for a minute. Wang Xueyin, I didn't know you had so much passion. "

However, this just confirms this truth:

When a person does something with awe, then "the result can't be wrong."

Just like drilling a well, if you find a right position, you will dig deep. The deeper you dig, the clearer you will be.

Although Wang Xueyin has won many awards in recent years, he is very clear:

"You live in reality, won the prize, does not necessarily mean that you are Douglas, you have to come back to pull a cart. You won the lottery outside, and you have to drink your stick porridge when you come back. "

Being honored as "old play bone", his understanding is: "Others call you" old play bone "as a respect for you. I hope you can play every role well. "

The most rare thing in life is not to let go of pride in adversity, but to remain so humble at a height.

You can't see the airs of a big-name star in him.

When not working, Wang Xueyin often goes to the community gym to exercise and chat with his neighbors. If no one says anything, everyone will never think that this is the best actor.

He can play with contemporary actors, become friends with young actors, catch up with the "terrier", get rid of the burden, and have no attitude of old actors.

Once, he had dinner with a group of young friends, and everyone used their mobile phones to order food. Wang Xueyin didn't want to. He was particularly anxious, but refused to help.

"No one should help me, even if I am hungry, I must learn to order food with my mobile phone."

After tossing for half an hour, I finally placed an order successfully.

Later, Wang Xueyin learned how to take a taxi and shop online. On weekends, he can have lunch and dinner without going out.

Nowadays, people over 70 years old do not delay in learning English, keeping fit, filming and participating in fashion activities.

He said: "I will go to the supermarket regularly, because if I don't go, I don't know the current lifestyle, and acting will definitely be silly." You must make sure that you will not fall behind. "

Is this life inspirational?

Of course.

The worst ending in life is just a late bloomer, which Wang Xueyin "was lucky" to meet.

From military literary and art soldiers to factory workers, actors and directors in drama and film and television drama, he has won the Golden Lion Award and Plum Blossom Award in China Drama, and also won the Best Actor Award and Best Supporting Actor Award in Film.

This is not an easy journey.

During the long dormant period, he may have complained, but he always kept "not falling behind". Until now, he still has the courage to say: "Grandpa Wang after 40 is young."

After all, life is a long journey against the current.

Today, with the continuous development of technology and changing industries, no profession is once and for all. If you can't keep up with the times, you will be eliminated. The truth is so cruel.

Only Rainbow Yin Xue, who is humble in heart, keeps learning and making progress, and keeps the ability of "not falling behind", can go further in the future.

I hope that on the way forward, you and I can proudly say, "We are still young."
