Guo Xiaoting began filming at the age of 5, but did not decide to apply for art school until the third year of high school, a "Step by Step" let everyone notice this eccentric little girl, but did not know that she herself is very quiet and introverted. Over the years since her debut, Guo Xiaoting has always maintained a peaceful attitude, "I don't value being famous very much, but if I am more well-known, it may be easier to get the role I like." ”

Heartache "Simple Lin Xiang"
A long time ago, Guo Xiaoting had seen the original work of "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful", and she was very impressed with the role of Lin Xiang, and when Guo Xiaoting knew that she was going to audition, she had been looking forward to playing "Lin Xiang". Originally, when the audition was held, the crew selected her to play another role, but Guo Xiaoting liked "Lin Xiang" too much, and she sent a long message to the producer, and finally won the opportunity to play "Lin Xiang".
In the drama "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful", "Lin Xiang" is a very "composed" traffic female star, which is absolutely: what to do, the first place to be a demon. "Lin Xiang" is too easy to attract black. At first, Guo Xiaoting's staff sweated for her. But Guo Xiaoting is very firm, "I think the character of Lin Xiang is very three-dimensional, the series has changed a lot compared to the novel, and this character is more full." In Guo Xiaoting's view, all of Lin Xiang's "demons" can find the corresponding causes, "her original family problems, her lack of love, her love brain... Why did she commit suicide? Personality shortcomings have corresponding causes. She didn't 'do' for the sake of 'doing'. ”
Perhaps it is precisely because this drama tells the story of the entertainment industry, so Guo Xiaoting can think more from the perspective of "Lin Xiang", this role makes Guo Xiaoting feel painful, she feels that "Lin Xiang" is very simple, "She longs for love, wants a career, and she has worked hard." Unfortunately, the ability is insufficient. ”
It is right to act until the audience has a sense of suffocation
Soon after the broadcast of "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful", "Lin Xiangren" was on the hot search. In the play, Lin Xiang appeared in a way that he committed suicide because he broke up with another actor, Luo Feng. When Guo Xiaoting chased the drama, she saw that someone on the bullet screen commented that the role of Lin Xiang was too suffocating in love, which made her very happy, because this was the effect she wanted to pursue.
In the play, Lin Xiang and Luo Feng really face each other's opponents are not many, most of them are still filming "drama within a play", that is, the scene where the two actors are filming in the play. In order to reflect Lin Xiang's extremes in love, Guo Xiaoting will deliberately look at the actor Wang Zirui who plays Luo Feng with a little resentment every time, so that on the shooting set, as long as the opponent scene between the two is filmed, everyone jokes: "It's over, the death gaze is coming again!" ”
In addition to playing with the male actor's opponent, Guo Xiaoting also expressed Lin Xiang's "no acting skills" trait in the "play-in-play" part of the play through her own performance, and Guo Xiaoting put a lot of effort into this matter: "The main thing is to take measure, I don't want everyone to think that I am deliberately playing a person with poor acting skills." For example, when Guo Xiaoting was filming a "play within a play", she would deliberately say her lines in a partial reading tone, her limbs were relatively stiff, and some tones would be a bit contrived, and the Lin Xiang acting scenes presented during the broadcast made many viewers feel real and funny. In fact, at the shooting scene, the sound recordist, photographer, and lighting engineer also held their laughter to finish the scene.
Guo Xiaoting hopes that through some bridges in the play, you can see the rules behind the showbiz, "In fact, sometimes the decision-making power of artists is not so large, and many times fans see some one-sided things." ”

After "Step by Step", he firmly resolved to become an actor
Guo Xiaoting learned to dance from a young age, at that time there were often advertising companies to go to the dance class to select small actors, she would often be selected, so when she was a child, Guo Xiaoting filmed a lot of TV commercials. Gradually, the crew that needed small actors found Guo Xiaoting, and at the age of 5, Guo Xiaoting officially started her acting career by participating in "Confession of True Feelings".
Because she has always played the image of a strange, lively and cute little girl since she was a child, many viewers naturally think that Guo Xiaoting should be such a character, in fact, she has always been a shy child, which is why Guo Xiaoting's parents have always supported her to use her spare time to shoot dramas, and they hope that Guo Xiaoting can meet more people in the crew and exercise herself. After high school, Guo Xiaoting's parents did not want her to continue filming, but Guo Xiaoting felt that acting was very interesting and could experience many different lives, so she studied hard, because every time only her academic performance reached the standard, her parents would agree to her continuing to shoot.
Many people have an impression of Guo Xiaoting from "The Legend of the Paladin III", in which she plays the cute little potato jacaranda. Then there was the popular "Step by Step", Guo Xiaoting played Min Mingge, and it was this play that made Guo Xiaoting see the audience's recognition of her and strengthened her determination to become an actor in the future. When "Step by Step" was filmed, she was in time for Guo Xiaoting to go to high school, and she was not ready to enter the art college, but in the end she decided to apply for the Shanghai Theater Academy: "Because I am very in love with my family, I only applied for the opera, which is my only choice." ”
"Step by Step"
A mistake has affected so far
Due to the hasty application, Guo Xiaoting did not conduct pre-test training, although she had already photographed some works at that time, but Guo Xiaoting was still very nervous during the art examination. She still remembers that when the teacher told her that the school had decided to admit her during the third test, she stared at the teacher for a full minute, and she asked the teacher, "Really?" What if I want to cry now? The teacher replied very crisply: "Then you will cry." So Guo Xiaoting really cried all the way from the examination room to the school gate.
After systematic performance training, Guo Xiaoting felt that she seemed to be able to make a breakthrough in her performance. In 2016, Guo Xiaoting played the heroine for the first time, filming the TV series "Shaolin Asks". In this play, Guo Xiaoting cooperated with Guo Jingfei, Zhou Zhouwei and other very experienced predecessors, Guo Xiaoting felt very difficult, but at the same time learned a lot of things: "What touched me more was Teacher Zhang Zhijian, whose shape was very complicated at that time, he had to stick to his beard, and his clothes were afraid of wrinkles, so he didn't eat or sit down for a day." Once Guo Xiaoting was tripped by her feet when she was filming, "Usually everyone joked about it, but that day Teacher Zhang criticized me very seriously, he said that as an actor, you should be completely familiar with the scene and costumes, and you must not affect the performance because of these." ”
Although many years have passed, Guo Xiaoting remembers it now: "Teacher Zhang's attitude has a great impact on me, so in the future work, I also pay more attention to details and try to avoid simple mistakes." ”
