He used to be Ah Q in "The True Story of Ah Q ", and he brought the tragic character to life. He is the all-round veteran artist Yan Shunkai . With a lot of energy, many classic works in the audience's memory have his participation. The success of film and television dramas such as "Da Song's Prisoner" and "Long Live the Wife" cannot be separated from his efforts.
Yan Shunkai is best at comedy. He also came from a comedy background. The comedies he performs always reflect the careful observation and experience of life. But it is a pity that such a "treasure" in the industry died of illness in 2017. Apart from his wife and family who have been with him for many years, many viewers and younger generations of the entertainment industry who admire him are very sad. This is undoubtedly a big loss in the industry!
Yan Shunkai's family doesn't do literary work, he just has always been interested in acting. At that time, there was a non-professional drama troupe in Shanghai that always performed plays in Zhongshan Park.
Yan Shunkai is particularly interested, and he goes to see it when he has nothing to do. He is young and not shy in the public eye. The troupe also liked this lively child very much, and later invited him to participate in the performance and play some small roles.
did not expect this performance to be addictive. Yan Shunkai not only became more and more superb in his acting skills, but also became more and more enthusiastic about the acting industry. Finally, after graduating from high school, he unsurprisingly applied for the Shanghai Theatre Academy .
But the ideal is very good, but the reality is often bumpy. He is always rejected in the final interview, and the reason is the same every time - bad image. is like this once and every time, not only in the drama, but also in other drama troupes and art troupes for the same reason.
Just before he was about to be completely disappointed, Central Academy of Drama recruited to Shanghai. Yan Shunkai still didn't let go of this opportunity. He carefully prepared the performance to impress all the examiners. In the end, he broke the prejudice through hard power and successfully got the admission notice of Chinese drama .
is far from over in terms of appearance. When an actor is always required to be "on camera", most of his classmates are handsome and beautiful. He has no personal characteristics in one of them, and rehearses in the class. He realized this after playing many inconspicuous small supporting roles in the show.
He knows that he must seek breakthroughs in other areas. Since he can't look better than others, he can always compare his acting skills with others, so he studies harder than anyone else.
Because of his humility and professionalism, although he can't take the lead role, all kinds of supporting roles are outstanding. During his undergraduate period, his grades have always been outstanding, and he has become a "dark horse" in the department.
's achievements will naturally be discovered by "Bole". Yan Shunkai was spotted by the director of Shanghai People's Art Theater Huang Zuolin because of his outstanding performance. left a role.
was a junior at the time, and most of his classmates were unknown. After graduation, he was successfully assigned to the Shanghai People's Art Theater and became a performer of burlesque, which is a popular comedy genre among the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai generation. He used to have excellent grades in school, and he did his part in comedy, and he has accumulated a high reputation among his peers.
In 1981, the opportunity to really explode came. The script of "The True Story of Ah Q" was prepared. Under the recommendation of Lu Ren, the director of Shang Film Studio , director Cen Fan found Yan Shunkai. It happened that Yan Shunkai had participated in the rehearsal of ballet "The True Story of Ah Q" before, and had his own unique views on the characters and plots, and finally Ah Q's role fell to him. The entire crew of
attached great importance to the shooting task. Infected by this atmosphere, Yan Shunkai got up in the early morning every day to live every scene well, not letting go of any details. He was so tired that he couldn't keep his eyes open.
and the efforts paid off. In the end, "The True Story of Ah Q" was widely praised at home and abroad. It also won the Hundred Flowers Award for 's Best Actor, the Swiss Vevey National Comedy Film Festival 's Best Actor, and even Best Actor. Invited by Mrs. Chaplin to her home. Yan Shunkai has been in obscurity for many years, and finally he has become a well-known actor in the country. After
made a name for himself in acting, he began to focus on a new form of comedy - sketches. Later, the pantomime "Playing the Piano", the sketches "Walking to the Factory" and "A Q's Monologue" have become the Spring Festival memories of many audiences for many years, and Yan Shunkai's status in the comedy world has also been thoroughly recognized.
After attending the Spring Festival Gala 6 times in a row, Yan Shunkai was named the "Representative of Southern Comedy", and the shadow of being questioned about his "bad image" was completely torn apart. After the arrival of the 21st century, Yan Shunkai is already quite old, but he still loves this industry. In 2009, at the age of 72, he still took over " my dad ". After the final filming of
, he was overworked due to his advanced age and suffered a cerebral infarction . Although he recovered later, it was inevitable that he still planted the root of the disaster. In 2017, the 80-year-old Yan Shunkai was once again admitted to a hospital in Shanghai because of his old age and physical infirmity, but this time he was not so lucky and passed away soon after.
When he was alive, he not only brought countless works of art like jewels, but also always took care of the younger generation in the industry and the development of the industry. He was also gentle and loving to his family. His widow was still unable to let go of it for several years after his death. The audience also deeply regretted that there is no such an old artist in the world. Although
Yan Shunkai has left us, his bold search and rigorous interpretation of comedy are still passed down from generation to generation. As a leader in advancing an industry, the thinking and professionalism he brings to countless younger generations is priceless.
The most important thing is that his optimism and tenacity give strength to many confused people, let us know that prejudice can always be broken, and love for one thing can make people break through all the shackles on the road, no matter whether they are lucky or not He has made achievements, and he has always been a devout explorer on the way forward.
Yan Shunkai's passing is a big loss to the entertainment industry, but we have reason to believe that artists like him will still emerge in the future.
