God’s arrangement
Yang Haoyu is naughty and lively by nature, with a cheerful and straightforward personality, but his academic performance is not good. His parents are honest and simple workers, his father is a demobilized soldier, and his mother was once an educated youth in Shanghai and did not understand the acting industry.
html Yang Haoyu returned to Shanghai to live with his mother at the age of 48. Due to years of "freezing", Yang Haoyu has always struggled with his studies.
studied very poorly in elementary school and barely graduated from junior high school.
His parents strongly demanded that he attend a technical school, otherwise they would cut off the relationship.
Yang Haoyu had no choice but to enter a technical school to study mechanical and electrical maintenance after graduating from high school.
While in technical school, although Yang Haoyu was not interested in professional knowledge, his lively and cheerful personality allowed him to make many friends.
Three years later, he graduated successfully and was assigned to the newly built Shanghai Metro Line 1 as an electrical and mechanical maintenance worker from the new passenger station to People's Square.
Although this job is hard and requires frequent work in tunnels and stations, the salary is still relatively generous. You can get three to four thousand yuan a month.
At first glance, Yang Haoyu has found a stable job.
But the day after day work made him feel bored and lost, and his inner passion gradually disappeared.
He could not imagine himself repeating the life of his old master, with his stooped body and mottled white hair, working day and night for more than thirty years.
One day, he saw an enrollment advertisement in the newspaper. The Beijing East Road Performance Training Class was recruiting amateurs to learn basic performance knowledge.
Yang Haoyu initially signed up with the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, after studying, he discovered that he liked stage performance very much and was eager to become a professional actor in different roles.
When he graduated, his teacher suggested that if he really wanted to be an actor, he could consider applying to an acting school.
So Yang Haoyu plucked up the courage to tell his parents that he decided to quit his job and pass the exam to study acting at the Shanghai Theater Academy.
’s parents were furious after hearing this, thinking that he had wasted the educational resources of the technical school and now he was giving up his iron rice bowl.
Yang Haoyu had a big quarrel with his father and ran away from home.
They severed contact with Yang Haoyu and stated that they would no longer support him in the future.
Yang Haoyu has no one to rely on and can only live with relatives. He goes out to do odd jobs during the day to earn money to support himself, and spends all his time at night to learn basic knowledge to prepare for the entrance exam of the performing arts school.
In order to realize his dream, Yang Haoyu took the exam of Shanghai Theater Academy for three consecutive years. Finally in the third year, 24-year-old Yang Haoyu stepped into the door of acting.
Due to years of work and preparation, the 24-year-old has become weathered and looks mature.
On the first day of school, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for freshmen, Feng Shaofeng’s mother saw Yang Haoyu’s busy figure and thought he was the parent of another classmate.
After entering school, Yang Haoyu's acting talent was not outstanding, and he was criticized a lot by teachers.
works hard to keep up with the progress during the day, and does odd jobs at night to make money and close the gap in life with other students.
Because he cherishes this rare opportunity very much and is determined to become an outstanding actor through his own efforts.
God’s arrangements are always unexpected.
Love can't be let down, acting can't stop
When he was in college, Yang Haoyu worked part-time during the day to earn money at his own expense, and went to the drama club at night to study acting knowledge.
works on film and television crews every day, but can only earn 20 yuan in poverty subsidies.
Yang Haoyu still remembers the first time he played a small role in the crew. Although he was only an inconspicuous small role, Yang Haoyu was still so nervous that he was sweating all over, for fear of missing any detail.
The salary of a walk-in worker is much lower than that of an electrician who earned over 1,000 yuan a month in the past. Life is very difficult, but Yang Haoyu still perseveres.
Most of the students in the performance department came from well-off families, but he was the only one who got into a prestigious school through work-study.
Due to his unremarkable appearance, Yang Haoyu lost many opportunities for likable roles.
school also has a strict performance elimination mechanism. At first, Yang Haoyu performed poorly due to nervousness and was almost expelled.
Fortunately, the teacher passed his final assessment and Yang Haoyu was able to continue studying acting.
In his junior year, Yang Haoyu adjusted his mentality, no longer being too rigid, and his performances began to become more relaxed.
The teacher gradually gave him some opportunities to perform small roles.
Yang Haoyu cherished every opportunity. Regardless of whether there was dialogue or not, he was fully prepared in advance and was recognized by the teacher.
These performance incomes also freed him from financial worries.
After graduating in 1999, most of the students chose to become famous and rich in the film and television industry. However, Yang Haoyu chose the Drama Center to hone his real acting skills on the stage.
For ten years, he has continued to transform from small roles to drama protagonists, and has won many drama awards.
In 2011, two Best Supporting Actor Awards made Yang Haoyu famous in the industry.
In 2016, he was nominated for Best Actor again.
Just when his career was on the rise, he started to get involved in the film and television industry by chance.
In 2013, Yang Haoyu's performance in the drama "The Deer and the Cauldron" attracted the attention of screenwriter Ning Caishen, who suggested that he play the role of "Wen Lianggong", the chief escort in the new drama "Longmen Escort Bureau".
This became a new starting point for Yang Haoyu's film and television career.
After that, Yang Haoyu began to frequently appear in supporting roles in film and television works.
He is not limited to a single acting style, and is good at small characters with changeable styles, such as doctors, engineers, etc. Representative works of
include the Chinese medicine doctor "Mr. Leng" in "White Deer Plain", the engineer "He Lianke" in "The Wandering Earth", the Shanghai man "Xie Tingfeng" in "An Jia", etc.
These characters have distinctive personalities and are deeply loved by the audience, becoming classic highlights in the play.
Although he doesn't have many roles, Yang Haoyu can create three-dimensional and plump characters through his superb acting skills.
For more than 20 years, Yang Haoyu has always maintained a passion for pursuing an acting career.
He has won the trust of the director and the recognition of the audience with his strength and acting skills.
From the stage of drama to the big screen of film and television, Yang Haoyu tells us that as long as persistence and enthusiasm remain unchanged, we will surely bear fruit and be rewarded.
Don’t care too much about the judgment and judgment of the outside world, but insist on doing things that you think are meaningful.
But there is nothing wrong with pursuing fame, fortune and status. It is too noble and can easily be abandoned by the world.
This is a difficult question.
