At that time, Audi only had 260,000. Yu Yang refused. He didn't have trouble with money. He just didn't want to ruin the hero image on the screen for the sake of money.

Yu Yang is a typical Shandong man. When working in the cadre school, he is a good hand. When others carry a sack of grain, he has to pile another bag. One year when filming in the northeastern countryside, the villagers reported that animals like bears often appeared at night. In order to eliminate harm to the fellow villagers and to improve the food for the film crew, Yu Yang discussed with his colleagues to get rid of the bears. Because New China had not yet been established at the time, live ammunition was necessary at that time. There was movement in the night, and Yu Yang got up with his colleague, squatted on the window, and slapped a few shots at the black shadow outside. After waiting for a while to confirm, he found out that he had killed the fellow's cow. For this reason, Yu Yang was punished. .
Yu Yang in life must be strong and competitive, and the same is true when filming. In 1949, in "The Chinese Daughter" directed by Ling Zifeng, there was a very thrilling shot of a bridge bombing. The actors were asked to climb onto the Songhua River Bridge, place explosives, and then jump off the bridge tens of meters high. The director asked Yu Yang if he dared to jump. Yu Yang said that the soldiers dared to jump back then, why didn't I dared to jump. After that, Yu Yang was already standing on the Jiangqiao. To be on the safe side, the director asked to check the conditions of the river before filming. The launching inspection of the special effects department found that there were broken military vehicles and ship hulls left by the Japanese invaders in the seemingly calm water. It would be very dangerous if they jumped off. In the end, the director thought of a way. He built a bridge pier more than ten meters high in Changchun and dug a big hole underneath. There was a lot of grass in it. When jumping over the bridge, everything was fine. The day before the filming of
, the director asked Yu Yang to take a look. Yu Yang said, no problem. In that era, there was no need to stand in for movies, but for Yu Yang, who likes to take risks, he got a chance to vent in the movies. "The tough environment of the war years has come, so what are you afraid of making movies?" In 1974, Yu Yang starred in "The Red Age". He perfectly shaped the characteristics of Zhao Sihai's "Gao Daquan". Some critics said that Yu Yang had full facial features, full of righteousness, and stood a tall and high pine. Many lines in the film, such as "We do it ourselves" and "You are numb", Yu Yang's mouth is full of sound and momentum.
In "Heroes and Courage", he uses actions to interpret psychological dramas.
Yu Yang has portrayed countless images of tough guy heroes on the screen. The brave and fearless anti-Union fighters in "Chinese Daughter", the passionate militia captain in "Guardian and Protecting Home", The energetic steelworker in "Towards New China", the tough old police investigator Liu Jie in "Passenger in Handcuffs", etc., among which Zeng Tai, the chief of the reconnaissance section in "Heroes and Gallant", made him famous. noise.
Yu Yang plays the reconnaissance section chief Zeng Tai in "Heroes and Guts".
has two identities because of the role of Zeng Tai, one is the reconnaissance section chief of the People's Liberation Army, and the other is the deputy commander of the bandit army. In the plot, Zeng Tai cannot reveal his identity as the reconnaissance section chief. So after Yu Yang discussed the script with the director and screenwriter, he gaveThis character set a tone: Let me play the deputy commander of the Kuomintang. I have to be like the Kuomintang. I can't put a note on my face saying that I am the Communist Party. That would be conceptualized. Based on this setting, Yu Yang abandoned the conceptual approach to performance and made a subtle transition between the two identities. There is a scene in which Zeng Tai interrogates Geng Hao, the most intense of the five interrogations. The performance of this play was extremely difficult. On the one hand, it was necessary to conceal the contradictions in the trial of one's colleagues, and on the other hand, it was necessary to censor a Communist Party like a real deputy commander. When filming this scene, Yu Yang was very nervous. His forehead kept sweating, and his hands kept trembling when lighting a cigarette. These were not designed, but a real expression of emotion. There is also a very challenging psychological scene in the
film. Zeng Tai found out that his comrade Geng Hao was seen through by the enemy, and walked around the room anxiously, like an ant on a hot pot. This was filmed by director Yan Jizhou with a long shot that lasted several minutes. When Yu Yang was performing, he walked from the close-up to the long-range, and then back to the close-up. There was not a single line, and it relied solely on actions and expressions. The performance required effort, the director. When Yu Yang was filming this scene, there was a burst of passion in his eyes. Zeng Tai, played by Yu Yang, has a very high personal charm and is liked by many audiences. At that time, Yu Yang received at most 40 or 50 letters a day. However, because of this movie, Jiang Qing commented that Yu Yang "played more like a bandit than a bandit", so much so that he was criticized during the "Cultural Revolution". In addition to acting,
can also direct and create the theme song
. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was good for an actor to make one play a year. In 1959, Yu Yang made 4 films, "Flying Over the Sky" and "Water Spring and Autumn, Food, and Song of Youth, ushered in the peak of his creative career. He doesn't like the stagnant state of creation. "Compared to small bridges and flowing water, I prefer big rivers." When
filmed "Spring and Autumn on the Water", Yu Yang spent two months in the swimming pool and worked out with the swimmers in the Physical Education Institute. After some hard training, he not only succeeded in creating the image of the breaststroke world champion Hua Xiaolong, but also Through professional coaching and high-intensity swimming training, the 100-meter breaststroke swim achieved a good score of 1 minute and 46 seconds, reaching the national third-level swimmer standard at the time. When filming "Flying Over the Sky", he had to live with pilots at Xijiao Airport every day. In those years, he had a richer life. He was an athlete for a while and a pilot for a while, but it was a process of creating characters.
"Passenger in Handcuffs" is a masterpiece of Yu Yang's later film creation. It is adapted from a report reflecting on the "Cultural Revolution" and directed and acted by Yu Yang. In the original report, the background of the story was in the northwest. Yu Yang changed the background of the story to near Kunming in the southwest. It is located in the subtropical zone, the scenery is beautiful, and the shots look good. He also changed the little boy Wei Xiaoming in the story into a little girl of the Dai nationality, who was later played by Cai Ming, who just happened to be able to put on the clothes of the Dai nationality, which was very ethnic. Yu Yang has also participated in the creation of many movie lines. There is a line in the film "Look at the world, everything is upside down" which he personally changed.
Because Yu Yang himself experienced the "Cultural Revolution", sometimes it was sad when filming. He thought that the movie should have a nice song to highlight the friendship between the comrades, so he found the composer Wang Liping to create a well-known theme song. "Camel Bell", this song describing the friendship of war was not mainstream at the time, but it has been sung to this day. Tu Juhua, the graphic designer of "Passenger in Handcuffs", revealed that Director Yu Yang also put a lot of effort into the script creation of the film and the creation of the theme song "Camel Bell", but he did not sign himself on the list of screenwriters and lyrics.
