Xie Yuan, the winner of the film, was a deserted "funeral": there was no mourning hall and farewell ceremony, and the stars in the circle mourned deeply.

Speaking of the name Xie Yuan, I'm afraid younger friends are a little strange.

The post-1950s actor, together with Ge You and Tian Liang, is also called "Three Musketeers in Mainland Comedy". There are not many works in his life, including king of the children, Chess King and other domestic film textbook works. However, he is a little older after all, and his popularity among young audiences is not high.

Xie Yuan is a low-key person, and he left an entrustment before his death. After his death, there was no mourning hall, no farewell ceremony for his body, no memorial service or any form of memorial service.

If celebrities such as Zhang Yimou, Ge You and Liu Xiaoqing hadn't posted commemorative articles on social media, I'm afraid not many people would have known the news of the death of these four actresses. And behind this seemingly deserted "funeral", what kind of Xie Yuan is it?

Xie Yuan is a student of 1978 Beijing Film Academy. He is in the same class as ZhangFeng yi and Zhang Tie-Lin, and is also a good friend of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

One and Eight, which he collaborated with Zhang Yimou, is recognized as the pioneering work of the fifth generation directors. Zhang Yimou was a photographer at that time.

Xie Yuan's appearance is not outstanding. 1982 when Beiying graduated, the teacher gave him eight words: "The image is average, there is no acting."

This comment is half right. Xie Yuan looks really ordinary. He doesn't have such unforgettable faces as Ge You and Tian Liang. However, it is wrong to say that Xie Yuan has no acting skills.

During his four years in college, Xie Yuan was everyone's delight, especially telling jokes and imitating others, which was his unique skill.

He often shows his own small programs to everyone at university parties and dormitories, imitating all kinds of people. He is lively and interesting, and often plays for hours at a time, which makes everyone watch with relish and laugh.

A phenomenon at that time was that where there was Xie Yuan, there was laughter and excitement.

Maybe people will say that this kind of impromptu comedy performance can't be used as a standard to judge a professional actor's acting skills, so let's take a look at Xie Yuan's performance in the professional field.

1987, Xie Yuan won the Best Actor Award in the 9th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award for "Chess King".

1992 "A Family on the Beach", Xie Yuan won the Best Supporting Actor Award in the 10th China Golden Eagle Award and the Best Supporting Actor Award in the 12th China TV Drama Flying Award.

1995, born timid, Xie Yuan won the Best Supporting Actor Award in the18th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award.

These dazzling achievements undoubtedly prove Xie Yuan's outstanding acting skills as an excellent film actor. However, he has another complex in his heart.

In 2005, The Beijing News interviewed Xie Yuan and asked him what he was most satisfied with.

Xie Yuan's answer is: the king of children.

When talking about this film, Xie Yuan was very affectionate. He said that he was very lucky to make such a purest film.

From 65438 to 0988, King of Children was nominated for the Palme d 'Or Award at 4 1 Cannes International Film Festival, which shows its weight.

The film calmly presents history and destiny, and shows the aphasia and speechless of a generation in that special era, as well as the hidden worries that they can't elaborate and speak. These concerns belong to the fifth generation of filmmakers and future generations of China people.

Xie Yuan did well in The King of Children.

In order to vividly present the role of "old cadre" as a rural teacher, during the whole shooting period, Xie Yuan did not take a bath, wash his face or brush his teeth, basked in the sun in the open air on a hot day, tanned himself, didn't go home during the Spring Festival, and stayed alone at the shooting location.

Looking back now, Xie Yuan's old pole, with its thin body and freely swinging arms, became a screen classic.

He stood in front of the blackboard, facing the children in front of him, with a deep and sincere face, which made people sincerely moved.

Old cadres have also become a microcosm of intellectuals of that era.

Unfortunately, king of the children failed to achieve final success in Cannes, and both Xie Yuan and director Chen Kaige were very depressed.

In recent years, Xie Yuan, who rarely appeared in the public eye, has withdrawn from this circle twice.

One day on 20 18, he went to Starbucks to buy coffee and suddenly found the words "Bao Cai Ge" written on the coffee cup.

Audience friends who love domestic sitcoms know that Brother Bao Cai is a classic supporting role in I Love My Family. In the series of "Two Ghosts Clapping at the Door" which lasted for dozens of minutes, Xie Yuan created a classic character, Bao Cai, which is still fresh in people's memory more than 20 years later.

Of course, Xie Yuan was very happy. He took a photo of a coffee cup and passed it on to the fans of I Love My Family. We had a good time together.

On another occasion, when Ge You was wearing a trench coat at the Spring Festival Evening, an eagle-eyed and kind-hearted netizen dug up an old photo of the 1990s.

Ge You, Xie Yuan and Tian Liang in the photo are in their prime, as thin as onions.

Ge You is wearing a trench coat, Tian Liang is wearing a blue polo shirt, and Xie Yuan is wearing a red cardigan. The texture of the photos and the clothes of the three people all reveal the casualness and kindness of that era.

These three juvenile hutongs with sloping shoulders and not serious appearance are the famous "Three Musketeers of Mainland Comedy".

This three musketeers is an excellent friend in private. They performed in the cave and could not live in a single room, so they had to gather in one room to drink and talk nonsense.

The three also co-founded a film and television company, which was dubbed "Good luck".

When thinking about the future, they all perform their duties: Ge You loves to ponder and is willing to study, and he can be an old artist in the future; Xie Yuan talks too much and can be a critic. Tian Liang has a business mind and is suitable for being a producer.

Of course, this is all a joke.

Xie Yuan and Tian Liang quit early when their acting careers were just brilliant. Artists live too hard, so let Ge You suffer alone.

One of them opened a restaurant and the other played Weiqi, and they had a good time. Occasionally go to the show together, recall the past, gag, tear each other apart, miss that beautiful day.

Regarding why he left the entertainment circle early, Xie Yuan said in an interview with the Beijing News in 2005: "The passion has disappeared, and 1994 is over, so open sesame can't. This is not someone else's problem, not a political problem, not a market problem, but our own problem. The window of our own soul has been welded, and there is no room to open it in this life. "

In Xie Yuan's view, in their youth, they once shouted naked in the ice and snow, and this extreme experience can never be replicated.

As Xie Yuan expected, the rain and the wind blew away, and their era was finally over.

A generation receded like a flood, and a new generation appeared.

The rules of the market have changed, the tastes of the audience have changed, and the slightly outdated name "The Three Musketeers of Comedy" has gradually faded or even disappeared in wave after wave of changes in the times.

Xie Yuan was married twice. In 1979, the teacher who helped Xie Yuan get into Beijing Film Company entrusted his daughter to him and asked him to help the girls with their homework.

Xie Yuan has the obligation to educate her wholeheartedly and take good care of her life.

After a while, they gradually fell in love and finally entered the marriage hall at 1984.

Unfortunately, this marriage didn't last long. After a brief sweetness, the contradiction between the two gradually appeared. Finally, after entering the seven-year itch, this marriage came to an end.

However, fate still favors Xie Yuan.

From 65438 to 0996, Xie Yuan met his second wife, Qiuyue.

Moon is younger than Xie Yuan 17 years old and has always admired Xie Yuan. They often talk about everything together and discuss the distance from the moon to the earth.

Xie Yuan is a recognized eloquence, and his brilliance quickly captured the heart of the moon.

The age gap didn't stop them from falling in love. 1998, Xie Yuan ushered in his second period, which was also a very happy marriage.

Married for more than 20 years, the two have been enjoying a leisurely and peaceful time together and are famous model couples in the circle.

It's only been 20 years, and they have never had children. Xie Yuan once expressed his idea of not wanting children in an interview, and his wife supported it.

In today's era, the Dink family is nothing new, and the absence of children around their knees does not prevent them from living a happy life.

Unfortunately, fate always likes to play tricks on people. On August 8, 2020, Xie Yuan died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 6 1 year.

Xie Yuan died, leaving his widow Qiuyue alone, which made people feel a little sorry.

Xie Yuan left a will before he died. After his death, there was no mourning hall, no farewell ceremony for his body, no memorial service or any form of memorial service.

I'm afraid it has something to do with his childlessness.

In addition, Xie Yuan has a special "quirk", which may be a footnote for him not to hold a funeral.

In a program, Tian Liang revealed that Xie Yuan had never attended a friend's memorial service. Every time, he asked Tian Liang to bring him money and greetings and give him a few more bows.

The host asked why, and Xie Yuan said very seriously that he was afraid that the deceased would suddenly sit up.

It turned out that in a work called "Handcuffed Passengers", there was a plot in which a "dead" person suddenly "came back from the dead" and sat up at a memorial service.

The actor who played opposite him at that time was not informed of the plot in advance. Faced with this sudden shock, the actor's spirit was greatly stimulated, so that he finally gave up the performance completely, leaving behind the sequelae of insanity.

It was this incident that left a psychological shadow on Xie Yuan, making him afraid to attend the memorial service.

However, with the departure of Xie Yuan, is he really as lonely as he looks? Of course not.

As soon as the news of Xie Yuan's death came out, it immediately caused quite a shock in the circle.

Zhang Yimou, Ge You, Song Dandan, Zuo Xiaoqing, Feng and other stars. Everyone sent a letter of condolence at the first time, including Xie Yuan's friends and partners for many years, as well as his favorite pupil when he was teaching at Beijing Film.

Zhang Yimou released a message saying: "I was shocked to learn that my old classmate Xie Yuan died of illness, and I was deeply saddened. I hope you still have laughter in heaven. "

Liu Xiaoqing lamented: "My good friend Xie Yuan passed away at the age of 6 1. Why not take good care of yourself? Miss the days of cooperative films "Burning Yuanmingyuan" and "Listening to Politics" ... "

It's hard to find a star who can compare with Xie Yuan now. "He is XXX now" is not true for Xie Yuan.

As a style, a performance form and an inner spirit, Xie Yuan can't find a successor at present.

After his unexpected death, except those friends in the circle, the rest were probably mainly a group of middle-aged audiences.

Xie Yuan seemed to stay in that era, standing at a window of that era, silently observing the rapidly changing world with a smile.
