Each drama can only have one leading actor, and surrounding the leading actor are all kinds of small characters.
Yang Haoyu is one of these small characters.
Over the past few years, I suddenly have a feeling that Yang Haoyu is everywhere, and he seems to have suddenly become popular overnight.
He is the " Uncle Gong " whose ex-girlfriends are all over the world in " Dragon Gate Escort ", and the hidden martial arts master "Jian Jiuhuang" in " Swordsman in the Snow ". The "old fritters" in 's home " is the out-of-date actor "Guan Jingnian" in "'s famous ", and also the tearful engineer "Old He" in "The Wandering Earth"... ..
The Porcelain
in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" even though many people only remember these impressive little characters, but don't remember that his name is Yang Haoyu.
But that's enough, from electrician to actor, what supports him is his love for acting, as for whether he can become popular.
That never matters.
An electrician's actor dream
Yang Haoyu was born in Chongqing in 1974. He graduated from Shanghai Theater Academy 97 with a bachelor's degree in performance. He is in the same class as Feng Shaofeng and Tong Dawei .
That's right, although in most people's impression Yang Haoyu seems to have the appearance of an old man as soon as he debuted, he is indeed only 4 years older than Tong Dawei and others, they are of the same generation.
Yang Haoyu looks so anxious, it is innate, and there are also acquired factors.
Before he decided to become an actor, Yang Haoyu worked as an electrician for several years. When his academic performance was unsatisfactory, Yang Haoyu was assigned to a tunnel company after graduating from a technical school and became an honorable electrician.
At that time, Shanghai had just completed the construction of Line 1, and Yang Haoyu, an electrician, was in charge of the electromechanical maintenance of the subway from New Passenger Station to People's Square .
The train does not have frequent problems, and the "iron rice bowl" is also reliable. After a month, Yang Haoyu's bonus and subsidies are about three or four thousand yuan. At that time, his salary was more than 20 times the income of most ordinary people.
But even so, Yang Haoyu was never happy.
He looked at the master who brought him every day, with a rickety figure and white temples. Every day, in addition to reading the newspaper and drinking tea, he went out to repair the electric box with a toolbox on his back for more than 30 years.
Yang Haoyu suddenly felt a little scared, afraid that he would repeat the life that his master could see at a glance.
So one day, after Yang Haoyu saw the news in the newspaper "Beijing East Road Performance Training Course is recruiting", his mind that had been silent for many years suddenly became active.
So he signed up secretly and went to the training class to study acting for two consecutive months. After the
training class, Yang Haoyu was convinced that he liked acting, so he thought of resigning to become an actor. He wanted to go to the Shanghai Theater Academy.
At that time, his parents were of course strongly opposed, and his father even threatened to cut off the relationship between father and son, but after a fierce quarrel, Yang Haoyu still quit his job as an electrician and concentrated on learning about acting.
Although his father didn't really cut off his relationship with him, but he also released harsh words. In the future, Yang Haoyu will never try to take a penny from him, and it has nothing to do with them if he has no money to beg.
Under such pressure, Yang Haoyu failed to apply for the exam in the first year, and his grades in culture class were not enough.
In the second year, Yang Haoyu, who didn't like to study since he was a child, studied hard every day, and finally got enough grades in the culture class, but unfortunately he didn't pass the interview.
In the third year, Yang Haoyu worked odd jobs to support himself while continuing to studyhabit.
This year, he was finally admitted to the performance department of Shanghai Theater Academy and began to study formal performance.
Once you fall in love with a line of work, you can eat all the hardships
Because his father cut off his financial support early, Yang Haoyu started to work in college when he was in college, earning 20 yuan a day, which is worse than his previous income as an electrician Too much too much.
but he is happy.
Yang Haoyu still remembers his first experience of running a trick. At that time, the crew set up a telephone booth on the flyover next to the old Shanghai TV station. The starring Zhang Fengyi was on the phone inside, and a passer-by who would not pay attention passed by behind him. Yang Haoyu was that passerby.
In interviews many years later, Yang Haoyu always recalled excitedly: "In just a few short walks, I was sweating all over my body and my blood was boiling. I couldn't help but want to take a peek at Teacher Zhang Fengyi." Yang Haoyu has retained the excitement of acting for decades.
In his more than 20 years of acting career, Yang Haoyu has never played the leading role a few times, but no matter whether he is popular or not, no matter how big or small the role is, no matter how much money he has, as long as he has acting, he is happy.
Like he said: Since I started acting, every day is my ideal life.
In fact, the road from "dragon suit" to "little actor" is not easy. Because of his mature appearance, Yang Haoyu has been insulated from many lovable roles from the beginning.
So either active or passive, Yang Haoyu could only focus on the drama stage after graduation, and patiently hone his acting skills, and gradually climbed to the throne of the column of the Shanghai Drama Center.
In 2011, Yang Haoyu won the 21st Shanghai Magnolia Drama Performance Art Award Best Supporting Actor.
Until after the rehearsal of the play of "The Deer and Ding Ding", the screenwriter Ning Caishen approached him and said: Your performance is very good, are you interested in participating in Wen Lianggong in my new play "Dragon Gate Escort"?
At that time, Ning Caishen's phenomenon-level comedy "Wulin Biography" was popular all over the country. Although his new drama "Dragon Gate Escort" was not a big hit, it also performed well.
At least Yang Haoyu has completely opened up his acting career in the film and television circle with the role of "Uncle Gong". After
, Mr. Leng in " Bailuyuan ", He Lianke in "The Wandering Earth", Xie Tingfeng in "Settling Home", Yang Yixue in "Secret and Great", Jian Jiuhuang in "The Swordsman in the Snow", Guan Jingnian in "Famous"...
He has never been popular, and most of the roles he plays are low-level characters, but with his own analysis of the characters, his small characters have won the love of many audiences.
has no small roles, only small actors
Now Yang Haoyu is 47 years old and has acted in dramas for more than 20 years. With the accumulation of dramas, more and more people know him, and more and more people like him. When
saw Yang Haoyu, I couldn't help but think of Wu Mengda , a golden supporting role in the Hong Kong film and television industry. Although he played some minor characters, all of them had distinct personalities.
A play needs a protagonist, but it also needs many excellent supporting roles.
Although he has appeared in many hit dramas in recent years, Yang Haoyu's attitude towards acting has remained unchanged for decades:
He told himself that as long as he was still acting, he should do his daily work well and shape each character well. , the rest will be natural.
Not every actor enters the showbiz, but to get the daily salary of 2.08 million, want to stand under the flash, and then gradually get lostAmong them, it became the object of complaints from netizens after dinner.
There are also many actors who really love the career of "acting".
Yang Haoyu is one of them.
