Special feature of 1905 film network He is affectionately called the golden supporting role by the audience, and is also the "all-purpose oil" in the mainland film and television circle. No matter the ordinary audience or the insiders, his acting skills are unanimously recognized. He is an actor. In 2024, many big-screen works in which Yu Ailei participated successively landed in the mainland film market.
In the upcoming May 1st in 2024, Yu Ailei plays a young man named Caifu in the comedy suspense film Nothing Can’t be Solved in a Hot Pot. Regarding the sentiment of this role, he also posted on the social platform that he must leave all his loyalty and sincerity to those who really care about you and care about you.
What behind-the-scenes stories and creative experiences does Yu Ailei have to share with the audience? In this regard, 1905 Film Network interviewed the actor Yu Ailei.
Language talent is brought into full play
At the shooting scene, everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high.
In the script "Nothing can’t be solved with a hot pot", the interlocking story structure has become the most impressive place for Yu Ailei. In his impression, the film is similar in form to the existence of the director’s shooting in 2009.
Yu Ailei admits that this form of filming tests the director’s ability to control scenes and shots. For actors, a single environment can make the performance more coherent and deeper into the role.
"In fact, this is the same as analyzing constellations. The characters in every movie will be reflected in everyone’s personality in real life." Yu Ailei bluntly said that there are some intersections between each actor and the character, which is the result of human nature. Everyone is a collection of contradictions between justice and cowardice and selfishness, and himself is no exception. He also has the brilliance and weakness of human nature in making a fortune.
In the film, making a fortune is an authentic Chongqing dialect with a sense of role substitution. At the premiere of the film in Xi ‘an, the actor blew himself up and once thought that Yu Ailei was from Sichuan, only to find out that he was from Hebei.
Yu Ailei’s parents are from Guizhou, born in Tangshan, Hebei Province, and raised in Maanshan, Anhui Province. This life experience has given him the opportunity to get in touch with different regional dialects since he was a child, and has also fully developed his language talent.
At the same time, he also said that daring to open your mouth is an important trick to quickly master a dialect. In his personal experience, Yu Ailei thinks that the most difficult place to learn dialects is not the standard of pronunciation, but the sense of language. Life experience+dare to open your mouth+strive to cultivate a sense of language has become his knack for learning various dialects.
There is nothing that a hot pot can’t solve, and the creative atmosphere is very harmonious. In addition to directors and actors, on-site staff such as photography and recording will also make suggestions for better presentation. Yu Ailei described the film’s creative process as "everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high".
Many scenes in the film are about the improvisation of the actors. For example, Yu Ailei and smoking on the balcony. For the presentation form of the finale, new creative ideas were also adopted by the director.
From 2015 to 2018, and then to 2024, there is nothing that can’t be solved with a hot pot, the new May 1st film, Yu Ailei and Sheng Ding have had three cooperation experiences. Yu Ailei admits that the deepest feeling of this partnership is that the director is more willing to communicate and more mature. I hope this cooperation can bring better works to the audience.
"From the filming process, we were all very happy, and the director repeatedly stressed to me that the filming was too cool." Yu Ailei especially hopes that in the future cooperative films, all of them can enjoy themselves so much. At present, he can still remember the scene where the creators hugged each other and celebrated each other on the day when the film was finished.
People live in ups and downs.
Supporting roles are as important as leading roles.
In "Nothing can’t be solved by a hot pot", many starring roles are working together for the first time. Yu Ailei frankly impressed himself. At the scene, Yang Mi often plays the role of a grim smile, and often comes up with a sentence to amuse everyone. The two are in the film, and there are also many opponents.
On April 24th, at the M viewing group of the film’s Beijing premiere, Yang Mi was very nervous when he bluntly filmed the scene of Mo chicken splashing its fortune with hot pot soup, fearing that Yu Ailei, who took the "Yan value" route, would burn his face. Yu Ailei admits that he is not nervous, because he believes in each other’s professional ability.
Although Yu Ailei and Yu Qian cooperated with him for the first time, they felt no stranger, because he usually read Yu Qian’s cross talk and books. Yu Qian will bring many surprises and joys to the studio and continue the true self in cross talk works.
Yu Ailei has been in business for nearly 30 years, shooting 60 cinema films and 50 drama series, with rich performance experience. According to relevant statistics, the total box office of all the films Yu Ailei participated in reached 20.456 billion yuan. He appeared as a supporting role in most works, but he made many explosive movies. In fact, many people don’t know that when they first came into contact with the big screen in Yu Ailei, they played the leading role in it.
"My debut was first hero, who directed that movie. This is my so-called high starting point, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t fail, it doesn’t mean that I can’t retire, and it is precisely because of this experience that I can work hard to do everything." Yu Ailei bluntly said that life is always ups and downs. As Yuan Zai, who played in The Longest Day In Chang’an, said: People live not a point, but ups and downs.
In Yu Ailei’s view, a movie often condenses the efforts of many people. Only when every role is good and every department is good can an excellent film be made.
"Why do people call me a golden supporting role? Perhaps it is that people are more and more aware that supporting roles are indispensable. In the multimedia era, audiences like to see handsome guys and beautiful women, so naturally some major roles will fall on young, beautiful, handsome and handsome young actors. Then, it would be good for us to do supporting roles and then make a good work together so that young audiences can see us." Yu Ailei thinks that for a good work, the supporting role is as important as the protagonist. There is no size in the role, and there are high and low acting skills.
For many viewers’ comments of "earnest in the play and naive outside the play", Yu Ailei thinks that the two are not contradictory, but interlinked. The audience’s word of mouth is as important as the film festival trophy, and what you can do is to work hard.
In recent years, the middle-aged crisis has become popular in the industry. Yu Ailei said that every age has its happiness and scenery. He didn’t feel the so-called midlife crisis except that he didn’t feel as energetic as he was in his thirties. In the eyes of some industry predecessors, he is even a young and middle-aged man.
It is worth mentioning that in the chat group of Mo Ji, Fa Cai, Jiu Bing and 70,000 in the movie, only Yu Ailei uses the real WeChat avatar in real life. For Yu Ailei, this is also an "accident". Because this is a "prank" of the director, I didn’t tell him beforehand. Later, Yu Ailei didn’t know about it until his friends came back from watching movies. At the interview site, Yu Ailei said with a smile, it seems that the avatar will be changed in the future.
According to Yu Ailei, there is another story about the origin of this avatar. In 2017, when Yu Ailei went to Bali to dive and shoot devil fish, he narrowly escaped from an unexpected situation. Later, he replaced the photo of the devil fish taken underwater with the social account avatar and used it to this day.
In the future, Yu Ailei will participate in film and television drama projects, including the second season of Joy of Life. Many of these works have explosive potential.
