TVB has never become popular once in hundreds of dramas. Yu Yang is such an actor. He has been in the circle for more than 50 years and did not become popular until he was 73 years old.
However, now that he has been having a dilemma, he has faced a dilemma.
Both his wife and son immigrated abroad and kept advising him to retire early and go abroad to help take care of his grandchildren. Now he and TVB have terminated the contract and can leave without paying any liquidated damages.
But he loves filming, but he doesn't want to give up the good opportunity to join the crew. To the foreigners, it becomes a kind of pain.
career and family, he didn't want to leave any regrets. With the beginning of the casting of "Family Glory 2", Yu Yang seemed to be disappointing his wife again...
01. The bumpy road to performance
yu Yang, born in Hong Kong in 1947. As a Hong Kong native Yu Yang, he has no great dream since he was a child. He just hopes to study better and find a stable job.
Unfortunately, Yu Yang's dream was still lost. After graduating from high school, Yu Yang has never been able to find a suitable job. Later, with the introduction of a friend, he entered the wireless training class to learn performances.
He thought that his appearance was not very good, and even if he couldn't become a popular actor, he could still have food and clothing.
After more than a year of study, Yu Yang successfully entered the wireless TV, but because he had no background, he could not get good films.
Usually, Yu Yang can only do some miscellaneous work in the company. He has done it to serve tea, water, clean the toilet.
For the company, he had long forgotten him. If it weren't for the fact that one day, the crew happened to be missing a small supporting role and no one went to film, they thought of Yu Yang, and I'm afraid he would choose to retire and change careers.
In 1975, Yu Yang was selected by the director of the crew of "Meet Good" and participated in a very trivial role. At that time, he asked the director if his salary was high?
Director pointed at him and scolded:
I kindly asked you to film, and you still asked me to raise money. Didn’t your company give you a salary?
At that time, the wireless TV was only developed shortly, and the salary given to actors was very low. Sometimes Yu Yang can’t afford to buy more expensive dishes.
His parents often advised him to change careers and develop, but Yu Yang did not want to miss it. He thought he was still young and his life would improve after working for a few more years.
's career has always been tepid. Fortunately, when filming, he met a very good girl. The girl is an outsider and occasionally goes to the crew to do some chores.
Once, the girl didn't buy the coffee the male lead wanted to drink in the crew, so the other party scolded her a few times.
She hid in the corner alone and cried. After Yu Yang saw it, he took the initiative to step forward to comfort the other party. Yu Yang was deeply saddened when he heard about the other party’s experience. His warm comfort moved the other party.
Later, when the two separated, they left each other an address. "Can I take you to see the beach?" The scenery of Xiangjiang is beautiful, but the people living in this city are always diligent.
They are worried about money and have to bow their heads for work. The depressed life made Yu Yang very upset, but every time he was upset, he would think of the face of the girl Wei Xiao.
The girl did not refuse Yu Yang. Not long after they dated, they quickly got married and had children. After the child is born, the family's financial situation is even more difficult. Yu Yang's salary cannot even support himself, let alone support his wife and children.
"A Yang, is it okay for us to live abroad?" The wife doesn't want relatives and friends to make jokes, she wants to go abroad with her husband.
Just like that, Yu Yang listened to his wife's advice and left the radio and went abroad to live. After arriving abroad, Yu Yang borrowed some money from his friend and opened a small restaurant.
While my wife is taking care of the children, she buys vegetables and cooks, and he cleans the dishes and cleans the food in the store.During that time, Yu Yang lived a truly free life.
It’s a pity that the business started out well, but after a while, no one visited it. "Husband, if this continues, we will not even have money to eat, but what should we do?" The money in his wife's hands is less than 1,000 yuan, and she will pay the rent soon, which makes him very worried.
"Why don't we go back to Hong Kong"? Yu Yang did not tell his wife that his friend Xue Jiayan was very popular in Hong Kong and had become a popular male star.
The other party invited him to return to Hong Kong early and could play roles in their works. Yu Yang, whose career has repeatedly fallen to a low point, had to return to Hong Kong to develop with his wife and children. For decades after
, he has been playing supporting roles, and has never even been a protagonist once. Therefore, everyone says he is a "green leaf actor".
02, the whole family immigrated abroad
Yu Yang's friend went to the airport to pick him up in person. When I saw his family return, I was very happy: "Old friend, are you going to live in my hometown when you come back?"
The wife held her son in one hand and said with her backpack in the other, "No, we are renting a house outside." After hearing this, my friend thought about something, and seemed to think of something, but he wanted to say something but stopped.
After Yu Yang returned to Hong Kong, he did not go to TVB, but went to TVB for development at the suggestion of a friend. Later, he played some supporting roles in TV series such as "The Wonderful Hands and Benevolent Hearts 2" and "Hello All of You Are Happy ".
went abroad, but Yu Yang's living conditions have not changed. The pay for html in the 380s was higher, and Yu Yang's family was just enough to make a living.
After life improved a little, the wife became pregnant with her second child again, and the two were worried about their finances again. This time, the wife decided to take her two sons to settle abroad, and Yu Yang worked hard in China alone.
The wife is more capable and has good English. She can be a personal trainer abroad. If she had been staying in Hong Kong, she could only take care of her children at home. The pressure of the four family of is on her husband alone.
She thought that if she continued like this, Yu Yang would feel very tired. Yu Yang thought about his wife's suggestion again and again, and decided to send his wife and her father-in-law to settle abroad.
There is no family burden. Yu Yang often goes to Hong Kong to film, and occasionally goes to Guangdong, Taiwan and other places. It was the 1990s, and inland people became more and more fond of watching TVB TV series.
As a golden supporting role, Yu Yang has participated in more and more roles. Although he does not have many scenes in a drama, he has participated in many dramas, so the salary he gets is pretty good.
See that he has a better prospect. After staying in TVB for ten years, Yu Yang signed for for another 20 years. This means that he will stay on TVB until around 2020.
But Yu Yang did not expect that TVB's popularity would pass soon, and with the development of inland entertainment, he could participate in fewer and fewer works.
The worst time, Yu Yang could only go outside to do odd jobs to make money. His wife scolded him many times, and if there was really no show to film, she would resign from the company. The family did a small business abroad and lived a dull life.
Yu Yang really wanted to leave at that time, but his friend advised him to stay in Hong Kong, and maybe he would get better in the future. For Yang, years of performances have made him addicted to it, and he already loves acting very much.
If he gives up the performance, he will not be willing to do so. He worked alone in Hong Kong and returned his rented house and lived in a friend's house.
My friend never charged Yu Yang a penny. Yu Yang felt a little guilty, so he often bought food and went home, asking his friend to drink and chat with him. In fact, he wanted to repay his friends in this way.
When a friend saw him buy red wine, he bought some braised food, and sighed: "You bought so many things again, how much money is it to waste"?
Yu Yang's economic situation is very clear. He often eats boxed lunches when he is away. If he buys so much food at one time, he might have to eat instant noodles for another week.
"Hey, it's okay, my contract with TVB is about to expire, maybe I won't be able to eat what I bought in the future." Yu Yang has gone through a period of highlights in TVB over the years, but what follows is loneliness.
After 2010, TVB has fewer and fewer actors, and many old actors have left. Because Yu Yang has a contract and has no money to pay the penalty for , he has been staying in TVB to develop.
But as the contract expires, he also wants to go abroad to reunite with his wife and two sons. The two sons grew up and the eldest son had already started a family and started a career. This is what made Yu Yang the most gratifying thing.
But his wife asked him to retire early and don't stay in TVB. His daughter-in-law is already pregnant. I hope he can go there and help take care of his grandson together. If it weren't for not being able to afford the penalty for liquidated damages, Yu Yang would have wanted to leave a few years ago.
TVB is no longer the prosperous scene before. Because of the reduction in personnel, Yu Yang often has to play several roles one by one, and they are all very small supporting roles.
He feels like a tool person, and he doesn't feel any freedom in TVB.
04. The old actor Yu Yang became famous after retirement and faced a dilemma to choose to choose
and TVB after the contract expired, Yu Yang left abroad. Unexpectedly, he received an invitation from the director before leaving. He thought that he didn't have enough time, so he might as well leave after the show.
Who knew that since he joined the crew, there have been directors asking him to film. After hearing this, my friend said that he was going to be late. "You'd better come back and live with peace of mind, don't think about leaving." friend was drinking and chatting with him.
The two chatted for a long time, and the next day Yu Yang bought a ticket to reunite with his family abroad. When his wife saw his arrival, she ran into his arms: "Yu Yang, we are all very happy to see you go home."
My wife has entered her old age, but her personality is becoming more and more lively. Yu Yang saw his grandchildren not far away, pushed his wife away, and took out the toy he bought in advance from his backpack: "This is for you, I will give it to you only if you call me grandpa."
The grandchildren looked at their parents and trotted to Yu Yang: "Grandpa, I want this." Yu Yang laughed loudly, he dreamed that he wanted to see the current situation of his two grandchildren.
He was very happy to see that the whole family was safe and sound.
Yu Yang's two sons worked , one is doing business and the other is working as an economic analyst.
Both sons have their own dreams. They do not reject their father as actors, but they do not want to be actors. Compared to being an actor, they prefer to start a business and find a stable job.
The eldest son fell in love with a foreign girl on his way to start a business (selling frozen meat) . After the two got married, Yu Yang was also very happy because his two mixed-race grandchildren were very cute.
Yu Yang thinks that this is all because his eldest son married a foreign wife. However, when he was abroad, he would often instruct his two sons to teach the next generation Mandarin and Cantonese.
2020 was the year when Yu Yang's career suddenly became popular. When he was taking care of his grandchildren abroad, received an invitation from two dramas . One is "Family Glory" and the other is " Jinxiao Building ".
Yu Yang starred in a single unit in "The Golden Seven Building", and many netizens expressed their recognition of his acting skills. Although it is not played on the satellite TV station, the number of views on Youku is very high.
After filming the first part of "Family Glory", the director invited him to film the second part. Yu Yang was struggling and wanted to return to Hong Kong to continue filming. My wife's wish seems to be about to fail again.
Conclusion:
Many people will have no scenes to shoot when they are old, but Yu Yang is just the opposite. After leaving TVB, he has more scene appointments, especially in the past two years, many directors have asked him to film.
Now, 73-year-old Yu Yang is still working hard to film. is still in good condition, has a strong body and a vigorous spirit.
Because his wife was afraid of taking a plane, Yu Yang would work harder during filming in Hong Kong and often had to run back and forth at home and abroad.
His wife advised him to withdraw from the circle. Yu Yang did not want to leave the entertainment industry. He wanted to continue to stick to his acting career. For him, family is of course very important, but you will be happier to do what you want to do.
