From an ordinary soldier to a special actor, Chai Yunqing's experience is very legendary, because he looks like a prototype, he has starred in a total of 39 times in his life, so he has also received Deng Yingchao's personal reception. His son was deeply influenced by his father and took over the mantle to play the *** of his youth
Chai Yunqing was born in 1931 in an ordinary farming family in a mountain village in Heilongjiang Province. He grew up in the war, and when he was young, he wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country.
In 1948, Chai Yunqing took the initiative to enlist in the army, when he was not yet 18 years old, and he had already become a glorious PLA soldier. After joining the army, he worked as a propaganda officer in the North and South Sea Fleets.
In 1963, Chai Yunqing returned to Tangyuan County and served as the director of the credit union in the local commune. Originally, his life would have been smooth like this, but he didn't know that the change of fate would come in 3 years.
At that time, he was transferred to Liaoyang Film Distribution Company as a manager, and later promoted to secretary. Because of this work experience, Chai Yunqing stepped into the film and television industry with half a foot.
In 1976, ** died of illness in Beijing, and the whole country fell into mourning. The Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of General Affairs have the aim of realistically recreating the leaders of the revolution and guiding the people to commemorate history and remember their ancestorsA special system of selection of actors was introduced from the USSR, that is, the recruitment of special actors.
In order to be successfully selected as a special actor, the most important thing is that the appearance and temperament must be very similar to the historical prototype. Even if you have never filmed before, you can be trained by the organization after being selected, but your lifelong acting career is limited to one person.
For example, Gu Yue, who often plays ***, Zhao Dengfeng, who often plays Mr. Zhu, and Zhang Yonghan, who often plays He Shuai, are all special actors who were selected during that periodAnd Chai Yunqing is one of them.
Chai Yunqing has a straight nose, deep eyes, thick black and thick eyebrows, and looks very similar to ***. His son later recalled that during that period, whenever his father went to the street to buy vegetables, he would always be mistaken for *** and often pulled by people with tears in his eyes.
Therefore, although Chai Yunqing had never filmed before, when the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of General Affairs issued a national notice to recruit special actors, Chai Yunqing, who looked like a prototype and was already in the film and television industry, was recommended by everyone to participate in the selection.
How much does Chai Yunqing look like ***?
With today's advanced AI face recognition technology, the two are compared with the image dataIt turned out that the similarity between the two was more than 70%!
With such a high degree of similarity, Chai Yunqing was successfully selected as a special actor. That year, he was exactly 47 years old.
After being selected, Chai Yunqing observed repeatedly and found that the only thing that did not look like the prototype was the color of his eyes. Chai Yunqing's complexion is white, and the color of his eyes is yellow and light. In order to fit the role better,Bayi Studios gave him a pair of expensive glasses.
It was 1978, the reform and opening up had just begun, and the first glasses manufacturing technology was still in the hands of foreigners, which can be said to be very rare.
With glasses, the problem of eye color is solved, but a new problem arises - after wearing glassesChai Yunqing's eyes are not as smart as before!
After several discussions with the crew, he finally decided not to wear glasses. After more than a year of filming and preparation, Chai Yunqing's first film "Flash Arrow" officially appeared on the big screen in 1980. After the broadcast of the film, Chai Yunqing was recognized by the public for his highly compatible appearance and temperament, as well as his outstanding interpretation effect.
Chai Yunqing was not born in a professional class before, and he was a halfway monk, why can he have such good acting skills?
The answer is nothing more than the word "hard work".
During the preparation for filming, Chai Yunqing, as an important starring and special actor of the movie, needed to bear great pressure. In order to present a perfect performance effect, he took the initiative to report and wanted to visit the Zhongnanhai West Flower Hall where the prime minister worked and lived before his death.
He silently collected hundreds of ** and audio-visual materials before the prime minister's death, and carefully observed them whenever he had timeConstantly practicing the details of imitating the words and deeds of the prototype, this led to the solid acting skills later.
During Chai Yunqing's visit and study in the West Flower Hall, he received an interview with Mrs. Deng Yingchao, and the two also took a group photo.
In fact, Chai Yunqing is not the only special actor of the prime minister, but he is the only special actor who was personally received by Deng Yingchao. To say the reason,It's nothing more than Chai Yunqing looks too much like the prototype!
According to the descendants of the Chai family, Chai Yunqing doesn't need to dress up too much when acting, as long as he puts on a tunic suit, he can feel as if he has seen other actors in the same crew spend several hours to put on makeup, but Chai Yunqing can do it in less than 1 hour every time.
The meeting between Chai Yunqing and Deng Yingchao was reported by **, when Sister Deng learned that the crew was filming here, she came to visit the class cordially. When Chai Yunqing, who was wearing a tunic suit, walked out, even Sister Deng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. But she quickly reacted and took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with everyone and take a group photo.
When hearing the discussion of the makeup artists of the crew, Sister Deng also kindly echoed that Chai Yunqing was more like a prototype than the previous special actor Wang Tiecheng.
Chai Yunqing is a low-key person, living a simple life, and thousands of people, he admires *** in his heart After becoming a special actor, in addition to studying acting skills and observing materials, he also never forgot the prime minister's fine style and lofty quality, and took this as an example to be strict with himself, so he has a high reputation in the industry.
In addition to daily filming, Chai Yunqing has also worked as a producer, director and screenwriter, and has done a good job in every job. Because of his outstanding performance in the work, he has also won many awards in acting.
Chai Yunqing's professionalism deeply influenced his son Chai Bo, the father and son have appeared in the same TV series "Public Servant", and participated in the play together at different ages, which can be said to be a good story.
There was a ** report that special actors had a poor life due to restrictions on their acting paths, but Chai Yunqing refuted this statement. In his opinion, he is very lucky to have an extra path because of his appearance.
From an ordinary soldier to a well-known special actor, Chai Yunqing said that this is "stained with the prime minister's light", based on this mentality, he has always been conscientious in the second half of his life and has become a respected predecessor in the industry.
In 2007, Chai Yunqing died of illness and left us forever at the age of 76. The profession of a special actor has left a strong mark on his life, so at the farewell ceremony, his family once again dressed him in a tunic suit.
For Chai Yunqing, the word "like" that others said to him,Perhaps it is the highest praise for his dedicated life.
