Guo Qilin: Looking at Wang Shuo's text, I actually cried and wept in the middle of the night

"We're all too familiar with the law of laughter. When everyone laughs, we don't laugh. "Tai 囧" will be the hottest, and it will not work. I bought the ticket late, big giant screen, first row. Basically the point of everyone's music I am definitely not happy, I found some things feel special Coke, basically the whole audience is my own music, but not the kind of special wanton haha music. Instead of doing comedy, we see the small humor and the big trap that we deliberately constructed, but we feel that we have guessed it earlier. ”

Guo Qilin reacted quickly. He lived in Beijing and Tianjin for twelve years, and when he heard the joke that he should move to Shanghai, he immediately replied with a joke: "I want to come to this place and shoot "Blossoms" in two years." "Blossoms" is a novel by Shanghai writer Jin Yucheng.

At the time of his speech, Guo Qilin was in the rehearsal hall of "Niu Tianqi". It was his first play, and everyone went downstairs for dinner, and he stayed. On December 29, 2019, the last performance of the first round, he accidentally met his father Guo Degang when he left the show. He was slightly stunned, and immediately threw himself into his father's arms. The video quickly spread across the Internet.

In the earlier TV series "Qing Yu Nian", the greedy young master Fan Siru, played by Guo Qilin, won him a lot of popularity. The movie "Pampered" in which he starred was also released at the end of 2019. In addition to crosstalk, he got his wish to try new areas. Beginning with "Cow Gift", he talked about his early life, career choices, and views on life and performance in interviews.

The following is Guo Qilin's dictation.

<h3>"No, I haven't seen you in a week, I miss you like that</h3>."

I came to Beijing when I was 12 years old, and I still like Beijing culture. Soon it will be twelve years in Beijing and twelve years in Tianjin. Before receiving plays, the usual reading habits are also to see the Beijing flavor of things. When I read Wang Shuo's text, I actually cried and wept in the middle of the night. It was a very short novel called "Nobody Applauded", which was later adapted into a movie.

Maybe the time period when I was a child and enjoyed happiness was not so long, but it is difficult to say, live to the age of 23, turn your head and look, there are no children who are so happy at the beginning, but there may be children who are even more unhappy than me. Before the age of 10, there was actually nothing in that time, when I was a child and my grandparents grew up, the old man looked at me tightly. You are not allowed to leave the line of sight, and you will not let you go anywhere, for fear of going out and bumping into it.

I have no friends, that is, small partners in the community, and there are no small hair. I went to school, but I basically never saw it after school. By junior high school too, I rarely went out to weekends with my classmates. Junior high school was a boarding school and I didn't come home until every weekend. Primary school every day grandpa picked up, every day grandparents watched, this is not enough to see. I saw each other for two days in junior high school and returned to school on Sunday evening. I said I wanted to see my dad on Saturday, and I thought of my dad staying for two days, "No, I haven't seen you in a week. Then stay at home.

In 2001, I came to Beijing with my grandfather, grandmother and aunt to see my father. At that time, Teacher Guo was not easy, he was a particularly energetic person, no matter how mixed up here, he did not tell the family. When we went, we still had a smile on our faces and told us, rest assured, it's okay, I don't have any problems here. Give him money, don't, "Don't worry about this or that." He always couldn't open the pot and entertained us, although he invited us to eat fast food, but it was not easy.

My aunt got married, and he came back in 2002, probably once a year. At the end of 2002 and the beginning of 2003, I went to Beijing with him for the first time to see where he lived, and anyway, it was barely enough, and there was really no money at that time. When he was eight or nine years old, probably after he succeeded, he demanded more of me, and he hoped that I could inherit his career.

Speaking from the heart, I like crosstalk. When I was a child at home, my grandfather blossomed in full bloom, and when I was young, I watched cross-talk, book commentary, Peking opera, and commentary. Grandpa is the people's police, Grandma is a teacher, dual worker, are very busy, who is at home during the day to watch the children? I threw my dad in the small theater in front of my house and let him stay there. My dad listened there, became interested in this stuff, kept learning it, and then decided to do it.

When I was a child, I liked it and was willing to say it, but I didn't think about going to the professional step, and I was very happy in the stands. Seriously, I didn't think about it as a job and a living. He wanted me to say crosstalk, but he still thought it would help me. When I was a kid he didn't have high expectations of me, and didn't say what had to happen. Be a cross-talk actor, perform in your own home every day, have food to eat, and don't go out to run again. I wanted to see if I had any other ability, and I didn't want to make a decision too soon, but I couldn't stop him from saying it all the time.

Later, my father always said that I wanted to be a cook when I was a child. I never thought about it, just to him off. He kept asking me what I wanted to do, and he didn't go next to him. For example, here idly chatting: "Yo, this tea is really good, son, you are not small, what do you do?" "I want to be a cook today, Ming'er wants to be a tailor, and the day after tomorrow I will be a network manager. Every time he finished speaking, he was very serious with me, as a cook, you can't stand this sin, and you can't do this hard work. In fact, I just wanted to find a rut to prevaricate him.

<h3>"I can't say that the young class master will not do it one day."</h3>

I have rarely spoken cross-talk in the past two years, including talking to my partner before, and Teacher Yan (Note: Guo Qilin's partner Yan Hexiang) has also advised me. Teacher Yan just partnered with me, and his good buddies said: Okay, this time you can count it, there is an iron rice bowl, you "lean" on our less class master. Old Yan said, wrong, in fact, this is the most unstable, because you are not sure that the young class master will not do it one day.

I partnered with Lao Yan in 2012, when I was young. He said, how do you know that a 16-year-old child can say crosstalk for the rest of his life? Old Yan was 15 years older than me, and he was 31 years old. I thought at the time, don't be fooled, I said crosstalk for two or three years, I must do this.

The good times are not long, and by 2015, I want to say that crosstalk is quite boring every day. At the age of 19, you will be thinking about life, and every day is not the same as going to work. We in Deyun Society originally performed three days on five or six days, doubled the performance on six days, and added a piece of five performances. Don't look at the current eight performances a week, more than these three shows have different meanings, the original Monday to Thursday, now only monday and one day off.

I just did it at that time, and I was very happy to work three days a week, and play for four days. Later, it became more and more like a company, and the work became more and more formal. Played from Tuesday to Sunday, eight times a week. Maybe when I grow up, I get used to it and feel nothing, and I will feel that I am all tied up. To be honest, it's too easy to say crosstalk. You go to the theater every night and you're fine when you're done. I only work for 40 minutes a day, and the rest of the time belongs to myself, and I can do whatever I want.

That was the beginning, and then more than a hundred works were staged on stage, and there was nothing to practice. And I arranged in advance what the eight plays next week, which of the eight are cooked, which are not familiar, and if I am not familiar, I will listen in advance, and I will go to the backstage to perform. Our performance volume is too large, we have to perform four hundred times a year, and some shows are not sure how many times they will be performed. "Report the Name of the Dish" is performed once a month, more than ten times a year. There's nothing to do every day, it's annoying. To be honest, there was something wrong with me at that time, I was fat.

It is determined not to say crosstalk after slimming down. If you live comfortably at the beginning, you will also be fat. I am still careful with my eyes, quite inferior, and now it is gone. It will be puberty, after going out, I always want to talk to the girl, and I always feel that people are not willing to talk to me. I was particularly awkward and drove downstairs to my brother's unit in 2015. He was on night shift, and I called and said, "Brother, you come down, and after ten minutes you'll go up." He came down and I said: Brother, I don't want to do it anymore, I want to study abroad. Now I think that the so-called study abroad at that time was an escape. There is no need to think about going to school except to study, don't worry too much, and you are finished.

Since that year, I have been active, and I have basically acted for half a year, and "The Great West Chamber" was also scheduled that year. I started to lose weight at the end of 2014, controlled it all year in 2015, and in 2016, I went to "Happy Comedians" with Teacher Yue (Note: Yue Yunpeng, a member of deyun society). From that point on, other jobs get busy.

I'm too young to be 23 years old. I still have a lot of time to try and do all sorts of things that interest me. I don't know if it suits me or not, but I have the money to try, and it has nothing to do with anything else, it is young. It is not suitable and does not lose, at least I have a lesson.

<h3>"Understand what kind of person you want to play, they are all connected."</h3>

When I was young, my father basically didn't tell me to live, and my master didn't tell me.

I can't wrongfully accuse my master, although it is the traditional rule to say that it is a traditional rule to change the son and teach, but in the past I was afraid that I would not be willing to fight, now who can really beat the apprentice? Learning or learning from your father at home is just a rule in the industry, you can't call your father a master. You have to find a master, and you have to find someone your father trusts to be a master, and Teacher Yu is the kind of honorary professor and honorary dean. My dad didn't teach much either, and told me that he probably felt awkward himself, basically when he told others to live, and I sat next to him and listened.

I remember very clearly that he said to Zhang Helun and Lang Heyan about "Reporting the Name of the Dish" and talking about the psychology of the characters. The first sentence of this person comes up, what is the psychological support, what kind of person are you. He didn't talk about baggage, first of all, you think, you can know such dishes, even if you haven't eaten, although you don't have money, but at least you have seen it. You think about the biography of the character and the family background. The creation of this program was originally in the Republic of China, how do you have to mix with the Eight Flags, every time you say a dish, you must carry "what was I like back then" and "how is this dish".

Isn't that just a show? A dish name is a performance. Under normal circumstances, I said please you to dinner, tease you several times, and you are anxious: I will not eat with you, what a mess. You have to grasp this degree, can't make you anxious, can always tease you. This is all character psychology, the transformation into film and television or drama, and understanding who you want to play, are all the same.

Think about each cross-talk, if the characters do not have a small biography, or the good word is now called "human design", then this show is not established, it is a poor mouth. All traditional programs are actually like this, including "Eight Fan Screen", including "Leg Work" and "Yellow Crane Tower". My father told the apprentices many times that you must play a ticket friend and a layman on stage, but this kind of character can have a certain respect and understanding of Peking Opera, and you don't know how to pretend to understand.

If you don't know Peking Opera so thoroughly, you really don't understand it. The actor must be a senior fan here, and must know everything. Sometimes it is better to praise the actor than to tease the actor, and they are all two,those who follow the nonsense, but they are not left to make a fool of themselves, there is no character. What does it mean that crosstalk does not play a character? Without talking about this character, the talk show also has to talk about a major central idea, today to talk about one thing, can not say first talk about a family matter, and then talk about something else, not next to each other.

Watching Wang Xiaobo's "Thirty and Standing", there is a small section in it, giving me pleasure, people think that I am neurotic, the sense of picture is very strong, to create this atmosphere. He especially loves two people to talk directly, and there is this picture in his mind, the protagonist and his daughter-in-law, the two quarrel at home.

If you want to tell someone else about this incident, you basically can't tell it. You read this sentence and think it's too coke, and people have been laying the groundwork for half a day. At the beginning of the fight, he said midlife crisis, family disharmony, and then he met with other women who had had ambiguous relationships, and then went home and fought with his daughter-in-law again. He described his daughter-in-law as also very strong, wrestling when she came home. Don't look at Wang Xiaobo is not tall, he always loves to describe his character as a big tall man of 1 meter 9, and he loves to say that he is a burly man.

We are all too familiar with the law of laughter. When everyone laughs, we don't laugh. Watching "Tai 囧" is that it will be the hottest, and it will not work. I bought the ticket late, big giant screen, first row. Basically the point of everyone's music I am definitely not happy, I found some things feel special Coke, basically the whole audience is my own music, but not the kind of special wanton haha music. Instead of doing comedy, we see the small humor and the big trap that we deliberately constructed, but we feel that we have guessed it earlier.
