In the second day of junior high school, Chen Yu left her parents and went to Guangdong Dance School to study dance systematically. The university studied "dance performance" at Beijing Dance Academy. After graduation, he was assigned to the Song and Dance Troupe of the Navy Political Department. I have been involved in film and television and played important roles such as Shangguan Waner. After more than ten years of polishing in the dance industry, Chen Yu said that "dance has penetrated into his own blood." ...
"Art is often narcissistic."
Chen Yu is the kind of girl who dances in spirit: "I get excited as soon as I hear music." Her parents hesitated to send her to Guangdong to learn dance, but they could not overcome her insistence. They said, "You should be able to endure hardships and don't regret your choice today."
For so many years, Chen Yu persisted with her love of dance: "There are more than a dozen people still dancing in that class in Guangdong, and I am two people. When I was studying dance performance at Beijing Dance Academy, there were 12 girls in my class. Now only three people are still doing things related to dance. "
"I can understand them. I once thought about giving up. If I can persist, I really love art. " After graduation, Chen Yu worked as a dancer in Haizheng Song and Dance Troupe. She had the opportunity to play an important role in large-scale film and television dramas such as Yongzheng Dynasty and Xie Yaohuan, but she rarely set foot in film and television performances afterwards. She feels that film and television performances are unprofessional to her, and many times they are passively waiting; When dancing, she can be very free.
Chen Yu said: "Art is often narcissistic. Don't treat artistic work as another profession. It seems that you can be famous and beneficial without any effort. It takes a long time to accumulate and precipitate! "
"99.5% of people are unknown."
After graduating from China Folk Dance Department of Beijing Dance Academy, Chen Yu joined a professional art group. "People who engage in art must be able to withstand loneliness." Chen Yu said, "Most people judge their success in this field by whether they are famous or not. If they only engage in art for this, it is easy to go astray. "
Speaking of the "art test fever" of her younger brother and sister, she repeatedly emphasized the words "dream" and "talent". "If you like, you can enjoy it. If you don't like it, it will be painful. " She said, "Some children have no artistic talent, but they still have to work hard to get in, and the result will always fall behind others. Art is not hard work, it can be successful without hard work, and it needs talent. "
Chen Yu said: "There are too few dancers who can break the index, and 99.5% of them are unknown."
The continuation of dance life
Three years ago, Chen Yu felt that her artistic career had reached a threshold. She began to consider changing careers and trying to learn English and accounting, but she found that everything had to start from scratch: in other fields, her starting point was almost zero, and when she moved to a field that needed a little skill, she found that she lacked too much.
After hitting the wall, Chen Yu found that she still likes dancing best. She began to enjoy the dance: "Even if no one looks at me, I don't need any applause." Chen Yu decided to make her dance life full of vitality in another way. To this end, she devoted herself to "dance education" and became a teacher of Beijing Dance Academy, imparting her understanding and knowledge of dance to students.
"The so-called' short artistic life' is on the stage," Chen Yu said. "It is not easy to be an excellent dance teacher. I am physically and mentally tired, but teaching has satisfied my desire to continue dancing life. This feeling is really great! " (Xiaoxiao Jiang)
