Needless to say, Yu Hewei's acting skills are calm and introverted, not a giant beast that erupts in silence, but give people a powerful aura shock between words.
In 2010's "New Three Kingdoms", he played Liu Bei, who was clumsy, forbearance, and became stronger step by step in showing weakness. Such an image is impressive. As a result, in 2017, Yu Hewei played a Cao Cao in "The Alliance of Counsellors", creating an image of Cao Prime Minister Cao, a seasoned, sinister and calm and calm. Two people with completely different temperaments can perform vividly and have no sense of jumping out at all. This is already a rare talent in the entertainment industry.
2021 is the year of Yu Hewei's outbreak. Following the "Assassination of the Novelist" in the Spring Festival file, there will be three consecutive broadcasts of "The Procuratorial Team", "Shangyang Fu" and "Age of Awakening", which makes people overwhelmed. .
On May 1st, Zhang Yimou's "On the Cliff" was released again. This time, Yu Hewei played Zhou Yi, an undercover Communist Party undercover agent. As a "double spy", he continuously provided intelligence to the Communist Party, while Find ways to rescue the captured Communists. At the most critical moment, he conquered everyone with a cigarette.
Zhou Yi's identity in "On the Cliff" is very mysterious. decoration) beside him, make the other person comfortable and not suspicious. It is even more necessary to be able to thread the needle and help the "Utra" plan to proceed smoothly through its special identity.
In the first half of the film, four agents Zhang Xianchen (played by Zhang Yi), Chu Liang (played by Zhu Yawen), Wang Yu (played by Qin Hailu), and Xiaolan (played by Liu Haocun) played a series of scenes: see through the spy Lao Feng (played by Sha Yi) A fight and a corpse scene after identity, as well as the right eye switch when pretending to not know each other on the train, full of characters and delicate emotions, make the audience's adrenaline soar.
After the rebellious Xie Zirong (played by Lei Jiayin) leaked the password for the connection, Zhou Yi, who was hiding in the dark, slowly went online. It is not bad that such a core character plays his irreplaceable role only halfway through the film.
Wang Yu and Chu Liang belonged to the second group of agents, who were caught by Zhou Yi's group of agents with a secret code and taken to a temporary residence. In the car and at the dinner table, Lu Ming, Jin Zhide and others kept trying to dispel the concerns of the two communists with polite words of concern. From time to time, Zhou Yi also made jokes inside, just like a conscientious spy. .
After the arrest of Zhang Xianchen, a group of people, Zhou Yi's true veil was lifted, and the contrast between the front and the back vividly appeared on the screen.
Having experienced the torture of electric shock, Zhang Xianchen has become incontinent, and his consciousness is blurred, but he still keeps his bottom line and does not reveal any information. At this time, Gao Bin was going to use psychedelic drugs imported from the United States to force Zhang Xianchen into submission.
While the doctor was preparing for the injection, we found that Zhang Xianchen had an extra pin on his hand that could untie the handcuffs, which was obviously left by Zhou Yi.
Just as he was about to be discovered after killing several agents, a hand suddenly stretched out from the room beside him and pulled Zhang Xianchen in.
Hearing Zhang Xianchen calling Zhou Yi "Old Zhou", the audience suddenly realized that Zhou Yi was his own.In the follow-up plot, Gao Bin also revealed that there is really a Communist undercover in the Secret Service Division, and everything can be matched.
From here, the "Universal Week" began to be launched. He risked his identity exposure, not only to pass information, but also to save people, and to ensure that the plan was not destroyed.
Just think.
Without Zhou Yi, Zhang Xianchen would have been drugged long ago, and he would have disclosed information under uncontrollable circumstances, causing the plan to abort.
Without Zhou Yi, Wang Yu would have encountered unexpected events when he didn't know that Zhang Xianchen was dead, and he would not have escaped the surveillance smoothly.
Without Zhou Yi, the organization would not know the real situation and would not assign other comrades to implement the "Utra" plan.
Without Zhou Yi, Wang Yu would not have been able to see his two long-lost children.
......
In the face of difficulties, the four communists were not afraid of sacrifice and carried out the task of sending Wang Ziyang out of the country with supreme faith. Coupled with Zhou Yi's knowledgeable, quick, and nonchalant professionalism, it ensures that the task can be successfully completed in a situation like walking on thin ice, and at the same time makes the story of the film more full and intriguing.
2, "The most difficult scene, I told the director that I smoked a cigarette"
On the surface, Zhou Yi seems to be an old fritter in the police force. Facing Section Chief Gao played by Ni Dahong, he stopped at the point where he spoke, neither taking credit for himself nor stabbing others.
When the communists were executed, Zhou Yi was smoking in a corner, looking cold-blooded, as if he was watching a good show. But what you may not know is that these smoking scenes were his own idea.
In the northeast world, the cold of minus 20 to 30 degrees, the face will freeze after a while, and it will be difficult to speak. There are many actors who will say, wait until I cover my mouth and exercise a bit before coming back.
Yu Hewei didn't do this. He insisted on using his frozen, quivering mouth to say those powerful lines that made one's blood boil. "Because it is a snowy environment, you can feel it yourself." He said in an interview with reporters, "Let it go, the face is stiff, but it is the best state."
For Hewei The most difficult state is how to let the audience know his identity at a glance, and the colleagues of the Secret Service will be at a loss .
Zhang Xianchen failed to escape from prison and was trapped in Zhou Yi's car. Zhou Yi made a tearful decision to terminate the plan and try his best to save people. While Wang Yu was crying in the hospital, Zhou Yi was calm on the surface, but his heart was full of mixed feelings. The nuanced micro-expression changes make the audience see it in their eyes and obey them in their hearts.
When filming the most critical scene in the audience where Zhang Xianchen was shot, Yu Hewei approached Zhang Yimou and said, "I can smoke a cigarette." Zhang Yimou replied, "Yes." A seemingly indifferent movement of shaking a smoke concealed the deep pain in his heart. It was the helplessness and pain that he couldn't save his comrades, and the cruel hatred for the traitors of the Secret Service Section.
The audiences are all emotional, and they can all feel the kind of struggle in Zhou Yi's heart, which will be strongly brought in. But Gao Bin in the play, even if he deliberately observed, could not perceive Zhou Yi's strangeness at this moment.
The quality of a truly good actor is the executor of absolute detail.He will pay attention to those. You don't pay special attention to them every day. If you don't have them, you will feel unnatural, but once you have them, you will go from exclamation to admiration for the details.
3, good at returning to zero, ready to start again at any time
May 4, just past, happened to be Yu Hewei's 50th birthday. He smiled and said, "Just now, the World Health Organization said that people are young until the age of 65, so I am still very young, and I will continue to study." This is all temporary. Until the next movie starts, I have to zero in on myself, get out of the feeling of the previous movie, and start with a new state.
With this kind of awareness, we can see a person who played Liu Bei, who can play Cao Cao well, and also said that "every actor wants to play Cao Cao once".
What is even more unexpected is that such a person who played the "Second Kingdom" of the Three Kingdoms can actually play the free and uninhibited Chen Duxiu three times.
In "Age of Awakening", Chen Duxiu, who was in prison, refused to cooperate with the government, and turned his head to sing a song of Su Shi's "Ding Fengbo", which made people feel emotional. After that, I went to the side of the high wall to pick up a cockroach in the place and looked at it carefully. Delicate and subtle emotional changes interpret the complex psychology of a literati and a revolutionary into three parts.
Back in "Above the Cliff", what we see is Yu Hewei's introverted sharpness, not the unrestrained openness, but the expression of emotions stacked on layers, bringing the audience step by step into the wonderful world constructed by himself.
Yu Hewei used his extraordinary acting skills to make us feel the lofty image of the revolutionary martyrs who fought for a better dawn. I think this is the meaning of the movie itself.
In this age of entertainment to death, actors like Yu Hewei are too scarce!
