Speaking of the name Yu Yi, maybe everyone is not too familiar with him.
When Zhao Yan in "Soul Ferry" mentions it, he must be a well-known figure.
Back then, Yu Yi was popular all over the country with this drama.
Moreover, these three films have continuously refreshed the record of the highest amount of ** in the shortest period of time.
Theoretically speaking, Yu Yi's next acting career should be smooth sailing and continue to improve.
However, he gradually disappeared from public view, and the reason is unknown.
Then continue on the other path, further and further.
01 Missed the chance to meet.
If you're still around, spring will be even better.
On April 1, 2023, Leslie Cheung's former agent, Ms. Chan Shu-fen, planned to hold a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her brother's death.
Regarding the guest lineup of the concert, it can be said that they are all some of the top figures in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Tony Leung, Carina Lau, Aaron Kwok and Cheung Chi Lam...
As the music played, the actors who played the role of "overlords" in Peking Opera slowly stepped onto the stage with heavy makeup.
The stadium suddenly resounded with thunderous cheers, accompanied by the echo of the play.
It's unbelievable that the person in front of him turned out to be Yu Yi.
At this point, you may be a little confused.
What kind of talent and charm does he have to be invited to Leslie Cheung's concert?
He was really surprised when he heard the news.
In order to show his best on stage, Yu Yi arrived in Hong Kong a few days early.
First of all, the throat should be adapted to the local climate; Secondly, more time is needed for practice.
Facts have proven that Yu Yi's efforts were not in vain.
In this concert that gathered many big names, he was the only one who left a deep impression.
This is not an accident, but a manifestation of strength.
Fans believe that Yu Yi is a singer who has been affected because of his acting skills.
Thankfully, he soon found his way back again.
Yu Yi was born on August 21, 1978 in Qingdao, Shandong.
He has had a soft spot for ** from the moment he went to school.
Yu Yi's singing figure often appears on the stage of school performances.
He does have a talent in **, I have to admit it. Many songs can be perfectly copied by him as long as he listens to them once. Whether it is the melody or the tone, it is not inferior to the original song.
Teacher Huang Qinglan quickly discovered Yu Yi's talent.
Therefore, on the eve of the college entrance examination, the teacher advised him to apply to a ** university. After some twists and turns, Yu Yi finally chose the bel canto department of Shanghai ** College.
In the days that followed, he either worked hard in the classroom or practiced singing in the rehearsal room. After half a year of hard work, I finally waited for the moment of verification results.
With his outstanding academic performance, Yu Yi successfully passed the written examination of Shanghai ** College.
In the third round of interviews, he failed to perform at his best due to excessive nervousness.
It is conceivable that Yu Yi waited at home for a long time, but did not receive an admission letter from his ideal university.
By chance, the Television Art Department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy reached out to him. After all, it is better to be educated than not to be educated, and Yu Yi decided to report after hesitation.
Compared with his classmates of the same period, Zhu Zhen is undoubtedly the most prominent figure among them. Friends who are familiar with him know that he is a well-known host in the circle.
When he first entered the school, Yu Yi did specialize in TV hosting. However, as time went on, he found that he was not interested in the industry.
Life is long, and it's time to do something you love.
02 Wander around.
After graduating from the opera, Yu Yi decided to change his direction and continue his studies. At this time, the Shanghai People's Art Theater was recruiting stage actors.
In a way, there is an inseparable connection with ** here.
With a tentative mentality, Yu Yi decided to take a risk and signed up. With his outstanding appearance and solid singing skills, he was successfully selected.
As soon as he stepped into the theater, Yu Yi ushered in an opportunity to show himself.
The actor of the male number one has not been determined, so the drama "Goodbye, Mom" has never been finalized.
It is clear to all viewers that this drama is based on the true story of firefighting hero Huang Donghua.
His image and temperament are incomparable to ordinary people, no matter in which aspect.
After repeated consideration, the director finally focused his attention on the newcomer Yu Yi.
As soon as he stood on the stage, he seemed to have the temperament of a male protagonist.
The director's vision is indeed vicious, which has to be admitted.
His performance in the drama is completely different from other predecessors, and as soon as "Goodbye, Mom" made him a high-profile new star in the drama industry.
Wearing this halo, Yu Yi has contributed many drama works one after another. However, deep down in his heart, there was always a deeper love.
Yes, it's the ** drama.
After all, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and Yu Yi is no exception.
* The drama "Snow Wolf Lake" is produced by Chen Shufen and starring Jacky Cheung, and is scheduled to tour Chinese mainland in 2004.
Considering that the audience is compatriots from Chinese mainland, the ** drama must be made into a Chinese version. As for the choice of supporting roles, of course, priority should be given to mainland actors.
After learning the news, Yu Yi immediately interrupted the work at hand and hurried to the casting site. How could he ignore such a rare opportunity to perform in ** dramas?
Yu Yi is willing to accept any scene or a line, even if it is only one shot.
Because of his years of experience in the field of drama, he quickly attracted Chen Shufen's attention.
As soon as this important person spoke, everyone was immediately surprised: "Young man, you performed very well, I decided to let you play Liang Zhi and the old wolf fairy." ”
These two characters can be said to be the most striking except for the male lead. It is conceivable that this shows how strong Yu Yi's strength is.
In the next 18 months, he cooperated with Jacky Cheung, Chen Songling and others to tour all over the country, which not only satisfied his love for ** dramas, but also met many industry veterans.
From this moment on, Yu Yi and Leslie Cheung's agent, Ms. Chen Shufen, began to establish a friendship.
03 Return to cross-border.
In 2005, Yu Yi was invited to perform on Broadway in the United States. Here, he fulfilled his dream of singing ** drama in Chinese on the foreign stage.
Of course, no one is perfect.
A director said frankly after Yu Yi's performance: "I like your voice very much, but I still need more training to make it more solid." ”
I thought it was just an unintentional remark, but it was unexpectedly deeply remembered by Yu Yi.
After returning from the United States, he immediately sought out a teacher from the Drama Department of the Shanghai Theater Academy, and under the guidance of the teacher, he practiced voice and dance in retreat for a year and a half.
When everyone was expecting Yu Yi to bring better works, he suddenly defaulted.
The scene where she reappears is not on the stage, but on the TV screen.
Whenever Yu Yi recalls this past, his eyes can't help but redden.
He didn't give up voluntarily, but was forced by life.
At this time, director Guo Jingyu broke into Yu Yi's life.
Yu Yi interprets it vividly and vividly, from the "second girl" in "Dog Stick" to Zhao Shucheng in "Brave Heart", which seem to be two completely different characters.
In 2014, the director team sent an invitation to "Soul Ferry" to cooperate.
Yu Yi has many first experiences in this drama: he participated in a thriller for the first time, starred in an online drama for the first time, and appeared naked for the first time.
Proven that hard work pays off.
"Soul Ferry" not only filmed three series, but also produced a side movie. As a web series, such an achievement is already quite remarkable.
Yu Yi became a celebrity overnight with this drama. He was faced with a steady stream of film appointments, but suddenly became suspicious.
He once gave up ** because of life, and now it's time to return to the love in his heart.
Yu Yi suddenly appeared in "Crossover Singer Season 2" in 2017, and he hasn't appeared for a long time.
In the song "When Love Is a Thing of the Past", no one was exempt from tears.
From this time on, Chen Shufen has begun to prepare for Yu Yi to participate in her brother's concert.
He reappeared on the stage of the play "Eternal Life of the Soul Ferry", which is ten years after he left the stage. In 2020, he took to the stage again.
Nervous, excited, happy, scared...
With conflicting feelings, Yu Yi ended this "debut" perfectly.
Ending: In the following days, few people seem to see Yu Yi in film and television dramas. However, on the ** drama stage, he has always been involved in it.
"Dreaming of a Lion" is a work from 2021, while "Earl of the Mountain" is a new work from 2022.
* The drama can always make Yi move to tears and make it difficult to sleep all night. No matter how old he is, he will always shine on stage in his own way.
The fact that Yu Yi has achieved the life he dreamed of is self-explanatory!
