Recently, actor Wu Yufang posted a picture on the Internet, happily saying, "The contracts this year have been completed."
After Wu Yufang's peak film comeback, she strictly followed two dramas a year and enjoyed the joy of acting.
38 years ago, Wu Yufang became famous for her role as "Liu Qiaozhen" in "Liu" and then she retreated bravely, tied the knot with the "Ping Pong Prince" Jiang Jialiang and retired from now on. How has she been doing over the years? Why did he suddenly come back?
In 1963, Wu Yufang was born in Yangpu District, Shanghai.
Her father is the director of the electronics factory, and her mother and her three brothers are both ordinary workers.
Wu Yufang, who came from a working family, loves to sing and dance, and was selected into the Shanghai Children's Art Theater class at the age of 11.
Other children can’t bear the hardship and want to go home, but Wu Yufang is silently and squeezing her legs , practicing the basic skills.
Wu Yufang has the best basic skills among her peers, and she naturally has the most opportunities to go on stage. Rich stage experience has made Wu Yufang never frightened.
16 years old, Wu Yufang chose to stay in the theater and become a professional drama actor.
At that time, many directors liked to pick people from theaters to act in movies, and director Luo Shuqi was no exception.
The movie " Preparatory Police Officer " directed by him is missing a heroic actress, playing the role of the policeman "Yao Lanlan". This is my choice, I will take a fancy to Wu Yufang.
In order to play "Yao Lanlan", Wu Yufang cut off her long hair, ate and lived with real police, trained and took on tasks together.
A month later, Wu Yufang officially joined the crew. Her acting skills that are close to reality have made her well received, and her first show on the screen has made a good start.
1983, Xi'an Film Studio planned to shoot "Life" by Lu Yao , and the male protagonist chose the popular young actor Zhoulijing .
Upon hearing this news, Wu Yufang was going to audition and try her luck. Her target was the second female lead "Huang Yaping".
"Huang Yaping" was born in a city and looks fair and beautiful, just like Wu Yufang.
But who knew that Wu Yufang had just acted for two minutes, and director Wu Tianming shook her head and asked her to pause.
Wu Yufang felt cold and failed? Wu Tianming waved his hand and said, "You are not suitable for Huang Yaping, but you can try the female lead Liu Qiaozhen."
Fortunately, Wu Yufang did his homework before the audition, and temporarily changing roles is just a "piece of cake".
Watching her simple and gentle performance, Wu Tianming made a quick decision and decided to make Wu Yufang play the leading role.
At this time, someone in the director team raised objections: Can Wu Yufang grow up in Shanghai and play a rural girl well?
Wu Tianming disagrees with everyone and lets everyone wait and see Wu Yufang's performance.
Wu Yufang did not disappoint the director's expectations. She slapped the truth in the face and told them what the plasticity of actors is.
In order to play "Liu Qiaozhen", Wu Yufang learned a lot from the fields to plant rice, clean chicken cages, and make fires.
Three months later, she not only did the farm work well, but also practiced fluent Shaanxi dialect .
There is a scene that requires "Liu Qiaozhen" to ride a donkey, so Wu Yufang borrows the donkey from her fellow villagers to train.
It took Wu Yufang more than a week to get her body to be thrown off by the donkey when she climbed up to her, and to let the donkey go wherever she pointed.
When she finally had time to go back to Shanghai to visit relatives and friends, no one could recognize that this was the fair and beautiful Wu Yufang.
Hard work pays off. Wu Yufang and Zhou Lijing's wonderful cooperation made "Life" premiere successful.
In the play, Zhou Lijing plays "Gao Jialin" is a "scumbag" and "Liu Qiaozhen" is a rural girl who was abandoned by him. After the movie
was screened, they walked on the street, and some people pointed at Zhou Lijing and scolded "Chen Shimei", and some people came over to comfort Wu Yufang's hand.
Good news one after another. "Life" won the Hundred Flowers Award that year's best feature film. Wu Yufang became the "Hundred Flowers Best Actress" at the age of 21.
Zhou Lijing was a coincidence because he acted so well that he could only miss the best actor in order to calm public anger.
Wu Yufang was not confused in the face of the wave-like praise.She made an unexpected decision: retreat bravely and go to Beijing Film Academy for further studies.
Wu Yufang has a calm personality. When filming "Life", she and Zhou Lijing were "canned". They were often relatively speechless on the set and were dazed together.
She is also very clear about her positioning. Although she has many years of experience in drama, she still has many shortcomings on the big screen.
If you want to continue to walk on the road of acting, Wu Yufang must enrich his theoretical foundation.
Boyfriend Yan Qiusheng is very supportive of Wu Yufang's decision and also helped her find a lot of performance materials.
Yan Qiusheng is Wu Yufang's class in the Shanghai Children's Art Theater class, and her colleague when she was in the theater, two years older than her.
html has been together for more than 0 years, and the two have grown from classmates to colleagues and finally become lovers.
Wu Yufang was admitted to Beijing Film Academy and became classmates with Tang Guoqiang , Song Chunli , etc.
She will devote herself to the ocean of study, and Beijing Film Academy is studying in a closed manner. Gradually, Wu Yufang and Yan Qiusheng had fewer and fewer contacts, and they eventually broke up peacefully.
In 1986, Wu Yufang was invited to attend an awards ceremony.
While everyone was chatting off the spot, Wu Yufang saw a handsome man, and she quietly asked her friend, who is this?
My friend joked that she didn't watch anything except acting, this is Jiang Jialiang, the "Ping Pong Prince".
Jiang Jialiang from Zhongshan, Guangdong learned to play table tennis at the age of 7 and won the World Championships at the age of 21. He is an absolute talented boy.
Not only that, Jiang Jialiang looks handsome and has a large number of fans off the court.
noticed Wu Yufang's gaze, Jiang Jialiang turned his head and looked back, falling in love at first sight.
He raised his wine glass to talk to Wu Yufang and learned that Wu Yufang is currently studying in Beijing Film Academy.
Jiang Jialiang also turned a blind eye to the outside world and was only focused on playing table tennis. He did not recognize this as the "Hundred Flowers Film Queen" who is currently in the prestigious position, and he thought Wu Yufang was an ordinary student in Beijing Film Academy. After the award ceremony, Jiang Jialiang tossed and turned, and was obsessed with Wu Yufang.
There was no cell phone at that time. It was Jiang Jialiang and Wu Yufang who met for the first time. He was embarrassed to inquire more, only knowing that his sweetheart was studying at Beijing Film Academy.
He called 114 to check the Beijing Film Academy phone number and wanted to inquire about Wu Yufang. Unexpectedly, Wu Yufang happened to pass by and received a call from Jiang Jialiang.
Wu Yufang later sighed that my husband and I were a little red. After Jiang Jialiang's passionate pursuit, the two soon fell in love.
, Jiang Jialiang is in full swing, and the young couple can only go on a date secretly. Sometimes when walking on the road, you have to go one after another to avoid being discovered by "fan girls".
This couple often goes to Chang'an hotel to have coffee, and sitting in opposite directions can turn bitterness into sweetness.
Jiang Jialiang lives in the General Administration of Sports and is very far away from the Beijing Film Academy where Wu Yufang is located. And he only has time on Saturday and needs training.
In order to have time to date, Jiang Jialiang would take a taxi to meet Wu Yufang every week, and spent six or seven thousand a year.
Graduated from Beijing Film Academy, Wu Yufang has starred in "Cast Serenade" and "Contract Couple" successively, exploring new performance methods.
The crew cannot come and go at will, and Wu Yufang and Jiang Jialiang are also getting less time together.
Once, Jiang Jialiang had an important game and wanted Wu Yufang to come to the scene to cheer him up, but Wu Yufang couldn't get out of it on the set. Afterwards, Jiang Jialiang was so upset for a long time.
Faced with the dilemma between love and career, Wu Yufang chose love.
In 1988, Wu Yufang and Jiang Jialiang got married and announced their retirement from the film industry.
The second year after marriage, Jiang Jialiang chose to retire due to poor condition. It happened that the foreign table tennis team invited him to be a coach, and the couple went to Malaysia together.
foreign land, Wu Yufang became Jiang Jialiang's strong backing, and he managed his family and outside the house with one hand, so that Jiang Jialiang had no worries.
After life is stable, Jiang Jialiang felt that the family is a bit deserted, so he discussed with Wu Yufang to have a child.
In 1992, their eldest daughter was born, and three years later, the younger daughter also came to the world.
The family of four lives a happy life, and Wu Yufang lives a happy life.
But while surrounding her husband and daughter, Wu Yufang will also recall her life in front of the camera.
She once dreamed that she was performing, but her mind was blank, and finally she was so anxious that she woke up from her dream.
Wu Yufang will also think about how she would perform when watching TV series?
Jiang Jialiang sees Wu Yufang's entanglement and nostalgia.
He understands that today's happy life cannot be separated from his wife. And the reason why he has his current career was because his wife sacrificed herself.
For many years, both daughters have grown up, and it is time to encourage their wives to pursue their dreams.
But Wu Yufang hesitated. She was away from the camera for so long, could she still go back?
Jiang Jialiang did not force her, but often took Wu Yufang out to watch movies.
Once, they went to watch Hollywood blockbusters. The noisy special effects made Wu Yufang very uncomfortable and left the scene halfway.
After returning home, Jiang Jialiang said to his wife, you have been out of touch with society for too long. Wu Yufang decided to return to the entertainment industry and start her career again.
In order to support his wife, Jiang Jialiang bought a house in Shanghai Pudong and moved his family back to China.
At the beginning, Wu Yufang could only play some marginal roles. The first comeback of
is called "Women's Sky", and Wu Yufang's scenes are only ten minutes long.
is such a small character, and Wu Yufang is struggling.
She hasn't acted for too long and is completely unacceptable and can't memorize the lines.
Wu Yufang was very anxious, afraid that others would discuss behind the scenes: Why can’t the actress’s best actor behave well?
For this reason, Wu Yufang is looking for feelings in the crew during the day, and staying up late to memorize scripts and audition shows at night.
After half a month, she finally regained her feelings and handed over a satisfactory answer.
Jiang Jialiang did not miss his wife's change. He praised Wu Yufang for being better in spirit than before.
He also specially arranged dinner at home to celebrate Wu Yufang's successful comeback.
Things are difficult at the beginning. Wu Yufang, who has overcome this hurdle, has taken advantage of the victory and cooperated with Zhou Lijing again in " Yellow River Man ". After
, Wu Yufang will act in two dramas every year to enjoy the joy of work. In her spare time, she traveled with her husband and left footprints around the world.
The two daughters now have their own careers. The eldest daughter learns graphic design and the younger daughter learns jewelry design.
The couple did not force their children to inherit their legacy. As long as it was a good idea, they would support it.
In November 2019, Wu Yufang won the Golden Rooster Award for the best supporting actress in for her wonderful performance in " Send Me to Qingyun ".
The family she played "Liang Meizhi" was broken and her relationship with her children and husband was not good.
But in reality, Wu Yufang is very open-minded and often talks to the children in a negotiating tone. She will share her life insights, rather than forcing her children to leave her parents' lives.
Due to her age, she can only play some "mom"-level roles most of the time, which is just right for her to have experience.
For two daughters, the purpose of the couple is: just be a happy ordinary person.
Time is 2022, and Wu Yufang is still working at the pace of the two dramas every year. Her role is getting heavier, but her mentality is still calm.
Now 59-year-old Wu Yufang is a real winner in life. She understands what she wants.
If you like acting, you will retreat and choose to further your studies; if you encounter love, you will give up your career and be willing to be your backing.
Jiang Jialiang can see his wife's efforts, repay her kindness, and support Wu Yufang in pursuing her career.
This couple who have been loving for 34 years allows us to see what the best appearance of marriage is: understanding, support, and never leaving.
