Liu Shaoqi in "Armageddon" is played by Guo Lianwen, who we are familiar with.
And Liu Shaoqi in the movie "Armageddon" is played by Guo Fazeng.
Because Guo Lianwen and Guo Fazeng look too similar, even some netizens are asking whether they are father and son.
In fact, the judgment of our human eyes will produce illusions in many cases, for example, Guo Lianwen and Guo Fa once looked very similar, but tested with face comparison technology, the similarity between the two people is not high.
Let's then use the face comparison technique to see who Guo Fa and Guo Lianwen are closer to the archetypal characters.
The result was unexpected, and both people lacked excessive similarities with the character archetypes. Judging from the results, Guo Fa was closer to the character archetype than Guo Lianwen.
Guo Fa has long been a choreographer in the film and television department of Hebei Province, and Guo Lianwen was also born in Hebei Province. This kind of contingency also adds a certain confusing implication to the relationship between the two.
However, in fact, the two people are not related by blood.
Guo Fa was born in 1945, and it is good that he has a son. Guo Lianwen's date of birth has not yet been found on the Internet, and there is a report that he was 56 years old in 2009, according to this calculation, he should have been born in 1953.
The age difference between the two people is less than ten years, which has denied the possibility of two people having a paternity relationship.
If we track their acting experience, we will find that they have worked hard in the film and television circle very early.
However, at that time, they could only play some small roles that were not well known, and now they have basically stabilized their unshakable position in historical films, but today's rise is the result of their previous years of hard work.
No one's success comes at will.
Guo Lianwen graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and was assigned to Chinese Children's Arts after graduation.
In the 1980s, China's film and television industry developed rapidly, and the demand for actors was very strong, which also provided an excellent opportunity for Guo Lianwen to step into the film and television industry.
Guo Lianwen had played a role in the movie as early as 1985, but at that time, this kind of role was only equivalent to the dragon running set of passers-by, which was difficult to attract attention.
In 1988, Guo Lianwen finally made a fierce face in the "Murderer and Coward" of the Shanghai Film Studio, but the role he played was the "murderer" in the title of the movie.
The mid-to-late 1980s coincided with the surrender of Chinese cinema to entertainment. "The Murderer and the Coward" is an entertainment film with an emergency chapter on the film, and it is boring and boring.
Guo Lianwen plays a gang leader in the film, specializing in some illegal acts, but disguised as a righteous gentleman, and later injured by retaliators, which constitutes the reverse suspense of the film.
From a victim at the beginning to the final exposure of the identity of the criminal behind the scenes, the film creates a highly contrasting character image. It's just that the characters portrayed in the movie are too shallow, and the actors are like puppets. In this atmosphere, Guo Lianwen's acting skills are lackluster.
In 1990, after the broadcast of the sensational "Longing" began filming, Guo Lianwen also had the honor to participate in the performance of this chamber drama.
It's just a pity that Guo Lianwen didn't even have a name in the play, and only two scenes appeared.
In this scene, Guo Lianwen plays an honest worker, dressed in overalls, getting off the bus, holding a baby, wandering around, trying to get the child out of his hand.
Later, he successfully handed the baby into the hands of Liu Huifang's sister XiaoYan in the play, so that the important trigger point of the story was passed out from his hand, and Guo Lianwen disappeared into the vast sea of people after deducing the shameful image of the character.
After the explosion of "Longing", Guo Lianwen must have had a quite broken heart. He is responsible for a very important function of connecting the plot lines, without him, the story of the whole TV series can not continue, his position is quite important, but no one will remember his simple and even somewhat anxious face.
In 1996, he starred as Sima Yi in the movie Zhuge Kongming. The film hangs the label of the Tianshan Film Studio, but the director is the mainland director Fang Junliang.
Probably think the film is good, in 1999 Shunshi filmed another "A Generation of Gangster Cao Cao", now the online information shows that the director is Ke Junxiong, but in fact, the film shows that it is still directed by Fang Junliang.
Jun Liang also has a younger brother named Fang Gangliang, who is also a film director, and the films he shoots are a little more influential than his brother.
Once Fang Gangliang sent me a film disc he made. His film "Can't Help It", which reflected on the undercover police, was sought after by many audiences.
The mother of the two brothers, Guang Chunlan, is also a relatively famous director in the 1980s, and the movie "The Legend of Maimaiti" was directed by her.
Guang Chunlan came from Jiangsu to work at Tianshan Film Studio, and later, his son Fang Junliang also went to Tianshan Film Studio to shoot movies, and this relationship can be reasonably deduced.
"A Generation of Heroes Cao Cao"
Although Lian Wen played an important role in two Three Kingdoms films, but these two movies did not respond much, after all, the filming is stable and the entertainment is a little poor, although Taiwanese actor Ke Junxiong starred, but the director is the key to determining the quality of the film.
Just when Guo Lianwen was still swimming in the tide of entertainment films, the image of Liu Shaoqi in the "Armageddon" series of Bayi Factory was completely handled by Guo Fazeng.
At this time, Guo Lianwen, in his heart, had not yet realized that there was any similarity between him and Liu Shaoqi's image.
After the filming of "Armageddon", the filming of "The Great Turn" began, and Guo Lianwen was fortunate to be selected, and he was one step closer to the real historical figure. In 1996, he played Yang Yong, a column commander under Liu Deng's army, in "The Great Turning Point - Battle against Southwest Lu" and "A Thousand Miles into Dabie Mountain".
In the film, he shows the character's obedient personality quite well. Although he did not appear much, it has foreshadowed that he has entered the filming track of revolutionary films.
Next, Guo Lianwen played Kui Peng in the 1997 film "The Spring and Autumn Of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty".
In the play, Kui Peng went to take over Zhong's return, and after there were pursuing soldiers, his life was hanging in the balance, he escorted Guan Zhong, who was locked in a prison car, and several arrows were shot in his body, but he finally completed the mission, and his loyal image was interpreted simply and vividly.
Later, he played Zhao Xiangzi in the "Warring States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty". In the two Eastern Zhou Dynasty dramas, he will not accumulate more than three episodes of performances, which is difficult to attract the attention of the audience. Whoever plays these roles is the same.
In 1997, Guo Lianwen played Han Zhaoqing in the TV series "Lin Zexu". This person is a local magistrate in Guangzhou, secretly confronting Lin Zexu, but on the surface he has a kind face.
Guo Lianwen portrays the hypocritical and speculative nature of the characters as quite a rhyme. It's just that the TV series is slow-paced and the plot is protracted, representing the level of TV dramas of that era.
In 1998, Guo Lianwen played Geng Biao in the TV series "Blue Three Rings", and when filming, the makeup artist reminded him that his appearance was a bit like Liu Shaoqi, and this drama can be said to be an important node of Guo Lianwen's transformation.
In the play, he played Geng Biao, who participated in the military investigation team and coped with various emergencies along the way. Overall, Guo Lianwen's image characteristics are that the character personality is relatively gentle and not aggressive, which basically has similarities with the image of Liu Shaoqi he plays in the future.
It was also in 1998 that Guo Lianwen finally played the leading role in "Comrade Shaoqi", and since then he has embarked on the road of playing Liu Shaoqi as a special actor.
In the 1999 TV series Princess Wencheng (Li Lin's version), Guo Lianwen once again put on a costume and played the role of Li Daozong, who stood on the side of national reconciliation.

Liu Shaoqi, played by Guo Lianwen, focuses on the character's elegant temperament, has a more easy-going temper and a more introverted personality, and at present, there is no one to replace him.
Although the role played by Guo Lianwen is not much in the play, the character image he plays is indispensable for similar theme films and television films, which brings Guo Lianwen a stable interpretation space.
In this sense, playing the historical figure of Liu Shaoqi is an important opportunity for Guo Lianwen to extend his acting career.
From the character settings of Guo Lianwen, who has been wandering in the marginal roles before, we can see how much effort he has made to today's achievements and how much hard work he has spilled.
