Half a year before the filming of "Above the Cliff", Zhang Yimou asked the casting director to call Yu Ailei: you should read the script first, if you like the character, come, it doesn't matter if you don't come, and we will cooperate later.
Zhang Yimou's words showed several meanings: the role of Jin Zhide is really unpleasant; very few people can play this role well, and Yu Ailei is one of them; even if Yu Ailei refuses, Zhang Yimou is willing to continue to give him opportunities.
Yu Ailei took over. He understood that the role of Jin Zhide was to help Zhou Yi take the blame, and belonged to the existence of a tool man in the film, but Yu Ailei could always play the role of the tool man vividly and would not be blocked by the protagonist.
The scene with Yu Hewei in the cafe, the script didn't even have lines, Zhang Yimou let them play freely. Before filming, Yu Ailei told Yu Hewei that we should go back and make up our own words, I don't know your lines are better, the more confused I am , this play feels more right. As a result, this temporary play became the highlight of the film. In addition to the
drama, Yu Ailei is low-key to the dust. In addition to not accepting similar roles and bad dramas, Yu Ailei also does not accept variety shows and business.
When a media interviewed him, they asked, "Have you ever thought about becoming a big star after playing a supporting role for more than 20 years?" Yu Ailei answered no, his reason is very simple: a star needs to be tall, rich and handsome, which makes people want to see it. His impulse to be his own husband, whether it's my role or my appearance, is far from this.
In fact, Yu Ailei's point of view is also wrong. The domestic entertainment industry also has a direction that content is king. Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, and Duan Yihong have made a bloody path from their acting skills. Although the road is more difficult than the traffic, the warranty period is certain. longer.
