In the drama "Parasite", Wu Yue completely reshaped the audience's inherent impression of him as an action star.
Rooted on the stage, improving film and television performances and self-transcendence

Before officially becoming an actor, Wu Yue was a " Wuying-level " athlete in the field of martial arts (the highest level of Chinese martial arts athletes, also known as "Jianjiang"), which can be said to be an honor.

Compared with the above two works, the revival of the National Theater Theater's drama "The Gate of the Mansion" in 2016 undoubtedly opened a new chapter for Wu Yue's stage career. His portrayal of the role of "Bai Jingqi" in the play has already It has become the most beloved and memorable stage image in his stage career. In this work, Wu Yue faced a huge performance challenge. He needed to span the character's long life, from the youthful 18-year-old to the waning 86-year-old, delicately and profoundly portraying Bai Jingqi's life at different stages. Personality changes and fateful twists. This not only demonstrates Wu Yue's profound acting skills, but also reflects his deep understanding of the character and comprehensive shaping ability, making "Bai Jingqi" an iconic role in his stage performances.It was also from 2016 that the drama "The Mansion Gate" became a bridge between Wu Yue and the drama audience, and it also allowed the audience to witness his growth and transformation as a drama actor.

A very intuitive and profound personal experience.
’s deep love for stage art drives Wu Yue to devote about one-third of his time and energy to the stage every year. In the coming year of 2025, Wu Yue will not only launch his long-prepared self-directed and self-acted non-traditional drama "Xin Qiji", but will also launch a film and stage work based on the martial arts master. In his opinion, the biggest help that stage performance gives him is to improve his personal understanding and expressiveness of performance, because every play is unique and every performance is constantly evolving, which makes Wu Yue more and more immersed. In the joy of performing on stage. "Audiences' expectations and evaluations are often based on an actor's true personality and inner qualities, and I have come to realize that as an actor, it is impossible to play every role perfectly. This realization makes me cherish every experience on stage even more , enjoy the challenge and satisfaction brought by performance. "
founded "Xiaoyou Theater" to provide development opportunities for more young practitioners.
In recent years, Wu Yue has demonstrated the depth and breadth of his performance on the drama stage. From "One to Three" in "The Story of the West Chamber" to Bai Jingqi in "The Gate", to Lu Haiyu in "Live Broadcast of the Founding Ceremony", to Kim Ki-taek in "Parasite", he continues to explore and explore in his own performance field expand. At the same time, Wu Yue also founded the "Xiaoyou Theater Troupe" to build a stage for young actors to showcase their talents. The troupe signed a number of emerging action film directors and actors, providing them with abundant growth resources and careers. development opportunities.
Last year, a new Chinese style drama "Yingtai on the Small Island" based on the Chinese folk tale "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" was staged at the Mandarin Pioneer Smart Theater. This is the first work launched by the "Xiaoyou Theater Company" founded by Wu Yue. Xiaoyou Opera Troupe means that a little wealth means peace, a little fullness means perfection, a little purity means purity, and a small amount of wealth means enough. It explains Wu Yue's attitude towards life. Talking about the original intention of founding the troupe, Wu Yue said with emotion, especially in the film and television industry, even actors who graduated from professional schools, if they are not famous or become top-notch, they will still face some difficulties in life, and their income may not even be as good as Some regular crew members. There are so many people working in the acting industry today and competition is fierce, making it very difficult to find the right role.
"Yingtai on the Small Island" is the first work launched by the "Xiaoyou Theater Company" founded by Wu Yue.
Wu Yue took as an example an actor interview conducted not long ago for a stage play by young director Zhang Xiao. During this interview process, the crew interviewed more than 200 actors in one day, and a total of more than 800 actors were interviewed in four days. , including film and television actors and theater actors. In Wu Yue's view, this situation is similar to the competitive pressure faced by the film and television industry, which is to attract audiences and box office.

This year, Wu Yue continues to show his versatility in his acting career, and has participated in the ancient legendary drama "Big Businessman" written and directed by Zhang Ting and the movie "Cash Transport Robbery" directed by Huo Suiqiang. When talking about his roles in these two works, Wu Yue's eyes shone with anticipation. He frankly stated that as an actor, he very much hopes to continue to expand his acting and performance methods. Wu Yue has long been widely recognized for his outstanding performances in action films, which has made his image as a martial arts star deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, he is not satisfied with this and hopes to try more types of roles. Among the many characters defined by the audience, Wu Yue is more inclined to play some parent-child roles because he believes that he has a complete performance system and is qualified for such roles.
The psychological shaping of "Parasite" is a challenge. I hope that the character will be loved by the audience.
As a first-class actor in the National Theater, Wu Yue has created many characters that are well-loved by the audience on the drama stage. In 2024, he played his father "Kim Ki-taek" in the drama "Parasite", showing his new breakthrough in acting. Wu Yue believes that although Kim Kize is an ordinary little person, he embodies the diversity and complexity of society.
In the process of interpreting the character of Kim Ki-taek, Wu Yue repeatedly thought about a question: "What are small people pursuing in a society where class and humanity are intertwined?" Later, during the creation process, Wu Yue discovered that, in fact, The reason why they appear to be greedy is simply because once they have an opportunity, they want to seize the opportunity to bloom. They will not miss any opportunity that may improve their lives, and there is nothing wrong with that, because everything they do is for their families, for their children, and for everyone to live a better life. They are just trying to survive, trying to survive in this world. "The hearts of little people are not really dark. They actually long to be close to the sun. But under the overall environment of society and class oppression, it is difficult for them to find their own warm light. Therefore, they have to work hard to Adapting and catering to everything that happens around him. Such a role is indeed very difficult to perform due to its complexity and inner drama. "

Compared with the previous drama "Mansion Gate", which used a "big opening and closing" performance to show the "splendid life" of the protagonist Bai Jingqi, Wu Yue said frankly that this time on the stage of the drama "Parasite", for The psychological shaping of father Kim Ki-taek is indeed a challenge. "Because on the stage, the audience cannot capture the actors' expressions and eyes through close-ups like in film and television works, or see their silent reactions to the situation. The reactions without lines are not easy to detect. Therefore, actors mainly rely on pauses and expressions of lines and changes in body shape to convey emotions on stage, both of which have become important supports for performances." Wu Yue believes that audiences who can understand these performance skills can naturally understand the inner world of the characters. .
During the tour of the drama "Parasite", Wu Yue received a letter from an audience member expressing his views on Wu Yue's performance in the play. Wu Yue recalled that the audience initially thought that the character he played was completely a tragic figure, and felt very uncomfortable when watching it. That feeling even lasted for a month, and it left a deep impression on her ever since. However, after watching the stage play, the audience felt that Wu Yue made her feel more uncomfortable by adding some comedy elements to the character. It was precisely because of the use of the word "gentle" that Wu Yue achieved the character effect he wanted to present. Wu Yue admitted that he did not want the drama to be too heavy, but he also did not deliberately add jokes to please the audience. "My idea is to dig deeper into the real face of the little man in the family. I think he should be an optimistic and even somewhat self-entertaining person. It is this sudden job opportunity that makes him cautious in front of the rich. , nervousness, silence, and even physical stiffness. Based on this feeling, I set the performance state of the character like this. "

When talking about personal career planning, Wu Yue said frankly that his planning is usually a cycle every five years. Whether in film, television or drama, Wu Yue now values the journey of artistic creation even more. For the play "Xin Qiji" that he will direct and star in next year, the script has undergone many revisions in the past few years. Although each version of the script has its own unique features, they do not seem to match the artistic conception Wu Yue wants to convey. . Wu Yue said bluntly, "I care about the audience especially, because in my opinion, the audience is like our food and clothing parents. Although I will not deliberately please the audience, I hope that the characters I create can win their love. Only when When the audience resonates with the characters, I can effectively carry out my personal artistic display and emotional expression. This process is crucial to me.
