In July 2005, Bayi Film Factory issued an obituary, mentioning the news that Gu Yue, the former first-class actor of its feature film troupe, passed away due to a sudden myocardial infarction, which caused heated discussions in the society.
Gu Yue is the most familiar special actor to the audience, and has starred in 84 films that describe *** and won many awards. Because of this, when it comes to Gu Yue's death, many people feel very sorry and feel that he left too suddenly.
After Gu Yue died of a sudden illness, in order to express his condolences to this special actor, many ** reporters also interviewed his family.
Among them, Gu Yue's wife also mentioned Gu Yue's behavior and habits before his death, thinking that he had a bad living habit. What's going on?
Gu Yue's first appearance in *** was in 1981, when he participated in the filming of the movie "Xi'an Incident".
In this movie, there are not many shots of *** played by Gu Yue, but under the careful creation of the stylist, Gu Yue made his first appearance look like and look like, which made the audience feel a little excited while being surprised, and they all felt that he was too much like ***.
At that time, "Yan'an**" even published a related news report, and the title was determined to be "'* has returned to Yan'an". This made Gu Yue herself feel very happy, but at the same time, she also felt a huge pressure.
Gu Yue, formerly known as Hu Shixue, was born in Hankou, Hubei Province in 1937, and then grew up in Guilin, Guangxi for various reasons, and when the People's Liberation Army liberated Guilin in 1949, he entered the 13th Army Art Troupe at the age of 12 by chance, became one of them, and began his military literary and artistic career.
Gu Yue cherished this hard-won job very much, and after arriving at the art troupe, she practiced diligently day after day and never complained. As he grew up day by day, once, several seniors of the art troupe suddenly mentioned Gu Yue when chatting, and after appreciating his efforts, he also mentioned that his face shape and facial features were a little similar to ***, and commented that this was "very rare".
Gu Yue was very surprised when she heard about it.
He also respects and loves ***, being said to look like ***, which makes him very happy, and in addition to being happy, he also faintly springs up with pride.
Gu Yue wants to be like *** again. He specially found some portraits of *** when he was young, looked at the portraits carefully, and later consciously wanted to show some *** unique characteristics during the performance, which made many people always feel an inexplicable cordiality during his performance.
In 1978, the marshal personally circled him as a special actor after his performance, and Gu Yue also embarked on the road of a special actor and opened up a new life.
At the end of the 70s of the last century, Bayi Film Studio was given the task of shooting relevant films around major revolutionary historical events.
You must know that most of the films and television films with major historical themes are based on the major historical events that occurred at that time, and the characters in the film are also required to appear in the real images of the events at that time, which puts forward high requirements for the outline, temperament, and plasticity of the actors.
For this reason, Bayi Factory has also set up a group to select special actors, and specially go to all parts of the country to look for people who "look like a certain leader" and go abroad to look for people who "look like a certain influential figure in the world". It's a "really hard" job.
In this case, anyone who resembles a historical figure in some way is a "sweet spot" in their eyes. As a member of the art troupe, Gu Yue often appeared on the stage, and when they wanted to find a special actor who played ***, Gu Yue was naturally "targeted".
Gu Yue's first film after becoming a special actor was "Xi'an Incident", which is his film **. In order to be more like ***, he and the makeup artist have put a lot of effort into the styling design.
The image is characterized by a tall and burly body, with a particularly broad forehead, slightly sparse eyebrows, large double eyelids, a broad nose, lips that are not thick or thin, and a mole on the chin.
Although Gu Yue's natural conditions are better, he is a bit like ***, but there is still a gap between him and his true image. To this end, Gu Yue cooperated with the stylist's request to shave off the hair on the forehead, cut the eyebrows that were too thick, and properly pasted the eyelids to make them bigger and more obvious.
At the same time, he also pasted a mole made of latex through a mold on his chin, and the hairstyle will be adjusted in a timely and accurate manner according to the specific conditions of different ages and periods.
Sometimes, in order to better reflect the theme, the director is more inclined to cross and combine the *** close-up shots played by Gu Yue with some real shots left in the past, which is undoubtedly a novel shooting method, but it also brings a lot of pressure and serious tests to Gu Yue and the makeup artist.
After all, in this way, the audience will repeatedly compare the two images of *** and the real *** played by Gu Yue in a very close visual memory, once there is a mistake in the makeup and styling, once Gu Yue's form and demeanor have problems, the artistic quality of the film will be seriously affected.
In order to shoot such a shot, Gu Yue watched countless information videos, carefully captured the demeanor and image of ***, and took the trouble to repeat it again and again, and finally successfully completed this set of difficult shots with the close cooperation of a group of people.
Of course, during this period, the makeup artist also put in a lot of effort.
Among the special actors who play ***, Gu Yue is considered to be the most successful actor who plays *** image. Gu Yue participated in "Xi'an Incident" in 1981 to "Uncle Kurban in Beijing" in 2002, and played *** a total of 84 times
Because he is more and more similar to ***, he has been widely praised by the audience, and he also won the Best Actor Award at the 13th and 16th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards during the period. This is also the reward of his hard work.
Gu Yue even mentioned in an interview that he has regarded playing *** as a lifelong task, "will continue to act", and is also very willing and eager to play some little-known images of elderly ***.
Obviously, Gu Yue likes and enjoys this job as a special actor, but unfortunately, a sudden accident in 2005 made him unable to complete his next plan.
Gu Yue's sudden death in 2005 made a group of friends and viewers feel "too surprised". This is because Gu Yue has never had symptoms of heart discomfort before, but the cause of his death was a sudden myocardial infarction.
Gu Yue's long-time partner Lu Qi witnessed the death of this friend and felt very painful.
He recalled that because of work needs, they went to Foshan, Guangdong Province after attending the event in Lingui. Along the way, Gu Yue's mental state was good, and she looked very good, but on the night of July 2, 2005, Gu Yue in Sanshui suddenly failed.
Lu Qi and others, who were accompanying Gu Yue, immediately dialed 120, and the ambulance sent him to the nearest emergency room of the Sanshui District People's Hospital in Foshan City to begin rescue.
Gu Yue was diagnosed with a sudden myocardial infarction. The doctor first used a pacemaker, a ventilator, and then thrombolysis rescue, but Gu Yue's condition did not improve, on the contrary, his whole body began to darken, his eyes remained open, and his pupils even continued to dilate.
The Sanshui District Hospital was unable and could only notify experts from all walks of life for assistance. More than a dozen experts from Foshan and Guangzhou rushed to the rescue room of Sanshui District People's Hospital to participate in the rescue, and even used electric shocks, and Gu Yue's electrocardiogram always showed a straight line.
After working so hard for more than three hours, the experts agreed that even if the rescue continued, Gu Yue would no longer have any hope of survival. After getting the consent of Gu Yue's wife, Zhang Yan, they stopped the rescue. The news of Gu Yue's death was also quickly reported, and for a while, Gu Yue's relatives and friends and the audience who loved him felt unacceptable.
Gu Yue's wife, Zhang Yan, is a well-known actor in the China Broadcasting Art Troupe, and she is also a special actor, playing the historical figure Song Qingling. Therefore, when Zhang Yan and Gu Yue, who played ***, came together, many people commented that they were "a match made in heaven".
After Gu Yue's death, Zhang Yan, as Gu Yue's family, followed up on the funeral matters, and later brought his ashes back to his home in Beijing with tears in his eyes, and then responded to the organization's arrangement and placed his ashes in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, so that he could rest in a "resting place that gives him the greatest affirmation and respect".
Gu Yue's sudden death still made many people feel very regretful. They were eager to know the cause of Gu Yue's death, and the reporter also did a certain interview with Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan also felt that Gu Yue's death was too sudden, and he didn't want to accept this fact after a long time. She couldn't explain the cause of Gu Yue's death, but she also mentioned in an interview that Gu Yue had a not very good living habit, which may have something to do with his sudden death.
Zhang Yan mentioned that Gu Yue has always been irregular, whether it is diet or sleep, after starring in ***, based on the need to meet different requirements in different periods, he has also frequently adjusted his weight, which has brought some negative effects on his health.
At the same time, Gu Yue also has a bad habit, that is, he likes to go to the sauna after drinking a lot of alcohol, which he did on the day of the accident, and the hot weather at that time eventually led to the tragedy.
As Gu Yue's wife, Zhang Yan naturally knows more about his private life. After she told it, many people also understood what happened on the day of Gu Yue's accident, and while feeling sorry, they also had the idea of caring for their bodies and living a good life.
As latecomers, what we can do is to take precautions and avoid such problems from happening again.
