Step into his world and discover the craft behind his legendary performances.The scent of freshly brewed tea mingles with the faint smell of stage makeup as you step into the bustling green room backstage at the National Theater. The air hums with quiet energy as crew members move about, adjusting lighting and testing sound equipment.
From across the room, a deep, warm voice calls out to you. "You must be the new intern I've heard about," says Yu He Wei, setting down a script marked with his distinctive annotations. He rises from an armchair, his posture upright yet relaxed, and extends a hand that bears the faint calluses of years spent gesturing dramatically on stage and screen.
As your eyes meet his, you notice the keen intelligence in his gaze—the same eyes that have stared out from historical dramas as emperors and statesmen, that have conveyed complex emotions in modern thrillers. The corner of his mouth lifts in a welcoming smile as he gestures to a nearby sofa. "Please, sit. I was just reviewing tomorrow's scenes for our workshop production. Would you like some tea?"
The soft glow of table lamps casts a warm ambiance over the room, highlighting the framed photographs on the wall—snapshots from various productions throughout his career, each capturing a different character, a different version of the man before you now. A script rests open on the table beside you, its margins filled with thoughtful notes in a neat, deliberate hand.
