On April 19 this year, the "Hedgehog" crew sent birthday wishes and a single poster to 65-year-old teacher Ge You ,
on Weibo , which is undoubtedly a rare Internet marketing for Ge You.
The Ge You account on Weibo hangs alone, without a single update. The significance of
is only the actor Ge You, and there is this person. To prevent someone from occupying the magpie's nest, it is only a matter of right and wrong. As soon as the
poster came out, people suddenly realized that Ge You was 65 years old, and that Ge You finally made another film.
There are few news traces of Ge You on the Internet nowadays. Once a regular customer of the Lunar New Year stall,
Ge You, who is known as "the biggest safety bolt at the box office of Lunar New Year movies", has already lived a semi-retired life.
live broadcast with goods, and the reality variety show , these two games that make money quickly in the entertainment industry, Uncle Ge did not touch a single one.
In addition to appearing in film and television works and shooting tidbits, Mr. Ge fears that he will always hide from the media.
lists old actors over 60 years old online,
Chen Daoming, Tang Guoqiang , Wang Gang, Li Youbin , Zhang Guoli , Zhang Fengyi ,
listed one by one, but only Ge You's name was missing.
And China has two Cannes winners so far,
one is the 53rd " In the Mood for Love " Tony Leung , and the other is the 47th " Alive " Ge You.
The old drama bone Ge You once galloped in the film industry, "big package" all New Year's films,
But he is willing to be hidden in the entertainment circle outside of acting.
2019 " me and my motherland " main creators took a group photo, "big guy" Ge You hid at the edge,
waved to reject the staff's invitation C.
In 2010, a reporter asked Ge You such a question.
Ge You replied: has passed, it has stabilized.
passed, these two words represent that Ge You has achieved the ultimate in sobriety in the world.
In the current entertainment industry, how many of them dare to say that they have passed these levels?
The current stars often claim to be sober in the world , but they lose themselves in the pursuit of fame and fortune. .....
is sober in the world, it is difficult to restrain oneself and recognize one's own position.
Uncle Ge told everyone with practical actions that are sober . In this Vanity Fair,
don't want to set up people, don't hype, don't want to be a C position, it is possible for
to be an honest person and act in a down-to-earth manner.
1. The first half of Ge You's life
In 1957, Ge You was born in the North Film Studio .
is a premature baby, and it is still wrinkled after a long time, so his father named him Ge You, Sorrowful Worry. If
hadn't been blocked by Chen Zhao, the then secretary of the Party Committee of the Beijing Film Studio, and
replaced "you" with "you", Ge You would have lived with this somewhat defunct name for the rest of his life.
However, the name change did not change Ge You's fate. Ge You's first 30 years were not smooth at all.
's personality was shriveled and shrinking, and everything had to be pulled by others.
At that time, all the neighbors knew that the son of Lao Ge's family was an honest man who would not fight back.
was beaten, and only said one sentence.
" is a master who specializes in fights, why should I provoke him? "
The kindergarten art show, Ge You, who was in the first row, looked straight at the audience, tilted his head and finished the performance.
When he was about 18 years old, his father Ge Cunzhuang asked him to go to the crew "South and North War" to get bread, but he was too slow to go.
If this is a normal child, or nothing.
But Ge You is a child born in Beijing Film Studio. His father is Ge Cunzhuang, a famous villain actor with a hot temper and a social cow.
According to today's words, Ge You is a proper second-generation star, and the neighbors are also movie stars at that time.
The timid Ge You broke the hearts of his parents, this child is so cowardly, there is no hope of inheriting his father's business.
According to his father's plan, Ge You's best choice should be a photographer.
But the immersion from childhood had an influence on Ge You after all.
Although he has been silent for 20 years, he has grown up watching his father's performance, and the seeds of performance have always been buried in his heart.
In 1978, Ge You returned from a trip to the countryside. He fought in art academies in the eyes of everyone who was not optimistic, but all of them were defeated without exception.
In terms of performance, Ge Youzhen doesn't have that talent. Either he didn't dare to move on stage, or he cried so much that he lost control and was invited out by the judges.
In the end, there was only one National Federation of Trade Unions art troupe left. Father Ge Cunzhuang couldn't stand it any longer and began to point out Ge You.
How a person without talent can perform a short brilliant performance can only rely on muscle memory and refer to the life he is most familiar with.
finally "sent" Ge You into the school's performance segment called "Feeding the Pigs", imitating the life of a pig herd when he was an educated youth.
seems to be destined, and later made Ge You the winner of Cannes Best Actor's work "Alive",
is a little person struggling at the bottom.
's entry into the art troupe did not go well for Ge You. He was born with poor conditions, thin body, prominent cheekbones and bald head.
is neither a creamy boy nor a tough guy, he can only do odd jobs in the troupe and run around. When
was "taunted" by the group members in his spare time, he would also cooperate with shouting and pretending to be crazy and foolish to relieve the embarrassment.
Before meeting Bole Feng Xiaogang , Ge You ran for 10 years.
Ge You's acting has a temperament. In Feng Xiaogang's words,
"speak the most serious words in the most serious tone." Ge You played the unemployed young Yang Chong, who did not have many roles but was exceptionally brilliant.
The year was 1989, and Ge You's long-term success also started from this year.
At that time, Feng Xiaogang was still in a hurry for the casting of "The Story of the Editorial Department", and Yang Zhong, played by Ge You, came into his sight. The poor and cowardly character
caught him instantly. This image is undoubtedly the best candidate for Li Dongbao.
It is recalled that at that time, Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang askedXian Ruo thirsty, braved the heavy rain and waited for a long time in the old carport of Ge You's house.
If "Stubborn Master" made Ge You small, then "Story of the Editorial Department" made Ge You a famous actor in the true sense.
Even when I was taking a shower, fans came to ask for autographs.
Since 1989, Ge You has basically maintained a speed of one movie every 2.3 years to capture the film industry.
In 1993, " Farewell My Concubine " came out and won numerous awards, Leslie Cheung missed the best actor in Cannes by one vote.
Ge You has very few scenes in it, but it is called by the media. In the second year of
, Ge You won the Cannes Film Emperor with "Alive", becoming the first actor in Asia to win this honor.
In 1997, Feng Xiaogang pioneered the New Year's film, and Ge You became a permanent resident, and
became the "special actor" of Feng's comedy.
" Party A and Party B ", " See You ", " Endless ", " Big Name ", " Mobile Phone "...
Ge You gradually became known as "Smile General" It was established and once became a box office safety bolt.
actor Ge You, became.
has become not only a career, but also Ge You's marriage.
Ge You is a typical example of starting a family before starting a business.
At that time, Ge You was nearly 30 years old, but he didn't even have a girlfriend. His parents and colleagues were worried about him.
finally met He Cong, who was still an art teacher at the time, through a colleague.
Ge Youren is honest, timid and shy, afraid to play blind dates and confrontation, and finally took a circuitous route.
, based on the two people's common interest in fine arts, turned a blind date into an encounter in an art museum.
A shy and shy, a quiet and elegant person, met the right person, fell in love, got married, everything went smoothly.
When He Cong met Ge You, he was just a follower.
The life of the two was tight, and they had to rely on their parents to help them when they were in trouble.
But she didn't dislike this silly boy who seemed to have nothing,
Ge You gave her enough sense of security. Now, the two have been together for more than 30 years.
The two of them are simple and traditional people. For them, a good day is nothing but a house for two, three meals and four seasons.
2. An ordinary actor who gains the public and loses the public
Some media once commented that Ge You is the most extreme type, gains the public and loses the public.
Uncle Ge affirmed this evaluation. On the one hand,
shoots excellent movies that are popular with the public. On the one hand,
responds to the demands of fans, and on the other hand, it can avoid interviews with the media.
It has always been the consensus of the media that Ge You is difficult to pick.
This is not because Ge You is playing a big name, but because he is afraid of life and speaks less.
For reporter interviews, those familiar with him know that he has several principles.
does not comment on directors or actors. His own life is private, and he does not talk much about it.
2010 was an important year for Ge You's acting career.
At the end of the year, three Chinese New Year films will be released - "Do Not Disturb 2", " Let the Bullets Fly ", " Zhao's Orphan ",
Ge You have all participated, and the directors are Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen , Chen Kaige .
cooperated with three directors at once, and they are all heavyweights. Ge You has become a favorite of media interviews for a while.
repeatedly praised him every day, but Ge You just kept repeating.
"Sober, sober, and sober again"
Ge You's sobriety is in every aspect, and he never refuses some compliments, even those common in the media.
"model", "performing artist"...
can't handle it, it feels scary, this is his consistent attitude towards praise.
Now the media often use "boom drama" and "exploding acting skills" to describe actors, but when it comes to Ge You, he is not without surprise to say,
Boom opera, what is boom opera, isn't this the actor's own job?
He refuses the media to elevate himself professionally, and also refuses to accept preferential treatment and enjoy the privilege of being a star.
In 2019, Ge You led the hot search for correcting the exaggeration of the staff. In the
video, the staff members spread their arms wide, as if using their bodies as barriers to stop the fanatical fans for Ge You.
But Uncle Ge hastily refused, don't need to stop, no one.
Because the matter spread a bit widely, Uncle Ge also specifically clarified during the movie promotion that there was really no one at
at the time, and the staff was right, it was just their job.
In the eyes of Uncle Ge, this is just a little thing.
But it is this lightness that makes it even more absurd that the entertainment industry is playing big names. After all,
is consciously popular in the entertainment industry, and there are countless situations where there are more security guards than fans at the event site.
For this kind of security guard's behavior of pushing passersby, many years ago, Ge You commented that it was "rude".
"Who are you, aren't you a movie maker?" Isn't
a movie maker? This is Ge You's positioning of himself.
In the current entertainment industry, actors squeeze their heads and want to play a heavyweight good show, commonly known as pie, to complete the soaring of their status.
When Disney chose a real-life role for " Mulan ", domestic actresses and singers were fighting for their heads.
And Ge You also had a chance to go abroad.
Feng Xiaogang once described this "little thing" in his autobiography. A Hollywood reporter wanted to interview Ge You, but Ge You dismissed it lightly, on the grounds that he was going to Dazhong Temple to buy floor leather for his parents.
In Ge You's own words, it is enough to serve the domestic audience well, not to mention not yet.
serve the audience well, this is Ge You's career motto. The
actor is the standard he sets for himself.
In today's entertainment industry, reality shows are extremely popular, making money quickly in a short time.
is not only a talent show artist and singer, but many veteran actors have also come down to the world to do variety shows and be judges, which is a lot of fun.
Ge You was of course also invited, but he refused without exception.
Ge You gave two reasons.
First, I don't want to be a good teacher and evaluate others.
Second, I don't feel qualified, sorry.
It is rumored that the appearance fee for inviting Ge You is as high as tens of millions, which really shocked Ge You.
They gave too much, but Uncle Ge still didn't compromise.
The entertainment industry is a place that is changing rapidly.
But there is a very embarrassing thing, that is, once you go up, you have to come down.
A lot of actors can't accept this. How many age actors are still playing roles that are not suitable for their age in order to play the leading role.
has played the leading role and is unwilling to play a supporting role, which led to the collective pretending of tenderness in the entertainment industry for a while. 16-year-old Zhang Ziyi in " Shangyang Fu "
.
The 18-year-old " Dong Jie " in " Macau People ".
The four brothers who just walked out of the campus in " is born on a bright day ".
As for the protagonist or the supporting role, Ge You thought about it 10 years ago. At the beginning of
, he entered the business by supporting roles. And I didn't enter the industry for the sake of being famous, I just liked this business.
It doesn't matter whether Ge You is a supporting role or a protagonist, an actor is nothing more than such a process.
10 years later, when Ge You talks about the main and supporting roles again, this attitude is still the same, and the C position should be given to young people more. The attitude of
is undoubtedly in stark contrast to the actors who are now addicted to Vanity Fair and quarreling over the issue of their works. Who has the biggest photo on the
poster, whose name is at the front when it is announced, and who has the most scenes when filming,
has become a great event, and even affects the progress of the shooting.
In 2019, Peng Yuchang also changed a lot in the movie " Little Wish ".
An actor is just a job title, what order do you want?
Yang Zi 's " green hairpin " even went on CCTV and was criticized by CCTV reviews.
And Wu Moufan, the male protagonist of "The Green Hairpin", has become a legal coffee because of illegal behavior.
Now the entertainment industry has no such person.
This can't help but remind people of the earnest teachings in the interview with Teacher Ge You.
Young people, you have to obey the discipline, otherwise it will be all in vain .
Some people say that it is the sadness of the entertainment industry that Ge You becomes a supporting role?
But Ge You himself didn't care. In the
movie " Antique Game Middle Game ", teacher Ge You got together with the group performance, and
gave up her seat to the group performance aunt, sincerely saying that you are the hardest.
For Ge You, life is more important than movies, and character is more important than acting.
If you say that for Ge You, who loves acting, what kind of film and television circle makes him more happy,
must be a scene where young people go forward one after another, act well, good works and good scripts bloom, and a hundred schools of thought contend.
In addition to being sober and low-key in his career, Ge You's persistence is also admirable in his relationship.
In the entertainment industry, Vanity Fair is not only famous and fortune, but also women.
in this circle, there is no shortage of couples who can share the same hardships but not the same.
has a successful career, and the people around him have also changed. The replacement of the old with the new is nothing new.
The outside world is of course curious about Ge You's situation, but Ge You just answered lightly.
People have seven emotions and six desires , greed, hatred, stupidity, slowness, suspicion, and evil views.
But Ge You is valuable because he is sober enough, knows how to restrain himself, and tries his best to avoid hurting others.
is both public and private, both external and internal.
3. The "passed" actor who became an emoji
Now young people don't know Ge You anymore, this is a helpless reality.
After 2010, Uncle Ge no longer frequently appeared in works, nor did he participate in other programs to maintain his popularity.
In 2019, "My Motherland and Me" was released, and Ge You starred in one of the episodes.
However, a tidbit also revealed that Ge You has been away from the big screen for a long time. In the
tidbits, Ge You sits in a taxi and asks passengers if they recognize him. Most of them can't say their names.
occasionally encounters a little girl he knows, and only sees Uncle Ge's emoji.
Memories cannot be copied, every era and every period of youth will pass away. After the glory of
, smart people will return to the plain, enjoy life, and will not be entangled in past honors.
And Uncle Ge is not afraid of being forgotten.
Today's Ge You and his wife enjoy a semi-retired life and are extremely low-key.
occasionally takes a movie, plays a supporting role, and communicates with young people. It's a lot of fun.
Not long ago, a reporter photographed Ge You and Dink's wife of more than 30 years,
taking care of a 3-year-old child together, who is considered to be Ge You's son.
If it is true, it is also a good thing to be blessed. If you are old and have children, you should enjoy life well.
Many years ago, mother Shi Wenxin said in her autobiography "All Catch Up",
Ge You can't be a hero, just be a commoner .
Just like the mother's joke, the timid Ge You did not become a hero, but became a movie king, a civilian actor.
is not an ordinary actor for his own honor, he just wants to serve the audience well.
Once a reporter interviewed Ge You, Are young people in the entertainment industry afraid of being forgotten?
Ge You replied: I have been working on for more than 20 years. If I really forgot, I would be free too.
Maybe young people will forget Ge You, but they will never forget Ge You's works.
The free Ge You is always free, and the Ge You in the movie is always young.
