In 2002, January 20, which was the birthday of director Huo Jianqi, Guo Xiaodong was invited to participate. But Guo Xiaodong's words made him feel self-conscious in front of the guests.
After the dinner, Huo Jianqi's friends arranged a huge fireworks show for him, and suddenly the night was lit up and dazzling.
Guo Xiaodong suddenly said: "A box of fireworks is more than 300, so many boxes of fireworks, how much does it cost?" Suddenly the atmosphere was awkward, and Guo Xiaodong was so inferior that he couldn't lift his head. It is also because of this sentence that "rich girl" Cheng Lisha has a strong interest in Guo Xiaodong.
Guo Xiaodong is a person with extremely inferiority.
农村娃辍学当学徒
In the winter of 1974, the old Guo family in the remote village of Dafangqian in Junan County, Linyi City, Shandong Province, welcomed the family's second child.
Honest rural people have little culture, so Guo's father named his young son Guo Xiaodong, who was born in winter. That is, the current actor Guo Xiaodong.
In the 1970s, Junan County was very poor, and Guo Xiaodong's family in a small mountain village struggled on the subsistence line. Her mother, Li Naifeng, was weak, and her father carried the burden alone.
Villagers often see his brother Guo Xiaofeng leading the toddler Guo Xiaodong around picking up cow dung. Growing up, the two brothers became their father's right-hand men, weeding, planting seedlings and picking cotton in the fields.
In 1985, 11-year-old Guo Xiaodong and his brother watched their first movie.
Since then, the brothers have been fascinated by movies. The father, who faces the loess all day and has his back to the sky, has never seen the world, but he respects the hobbies of his sons very much, and takes his two sons to and from the eight villages of Shili to watch open-air movies.
Under the influence of the movie, Guo Xiaodong and his brother are obsessed with literature and art, but they are deterred by the four walls of the family.
In 1990, Guo Xiaodong, a sophomore in high school, was forced to drop out of school because he could not afford to pay 34 yuan in tuition.
In the same year, his brother Guo Xiaofeng took the lead in coming to Beijing to chase his acting dreams and began a life of north drift.
Guo Xiaodong entered the printing house as an apprentice.
“浑小子”逆袭记
Two years later, in 1992, Guo Xiaodong happened to see the summer camp collection held by the Beijing Film Academy and secretly signed up for it.
This summer camp activity became a turning point in Guo Xiaodong's fate. With the support of his elder brother Guo Xiaofeng, in 1993 and 1994, Guo Xiaodong took the Nortel exam for two consecutive years, but failed.
In 1995, Guo Xiaodong began to do group performances in Beijing, honing his acting skills.
The basement rented by Guo Xiaodong is dark and damp, there is no light for many years, on rainy days, the walls are ticking with dew, and the house smells of rotten wood.
In this way, Guo Xiaodong shuttled between the crew and the basement, and the first year in Beijing quickly passed, and Guo Xiaodong's acting skills were also rapidly improved.
In 1996, with the help of his brother Guo Xiaofeng, Guo Xiaodong of Nortel got his wish and was admitted to the 96th "Star Class" of the Beijing Film Academy, and became classmates with Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun.
However, the two brothers from the Yimeng Mountains were pointed out by their neighbors, and the names of "not doing the right thing" and the bastard boy fell on the heads of the two brothers. At this time, the father resisted all the pressure for them.
The neighbors never expected that the two brothers with gray heads and dirty faces who "did not do the right thing" would both become well-known actors in the future.
In the 4 years of Nortel, under the light of Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and others, Guo Xiaodong, who was born in the countryside, seems to be a transparent person.
He did not dare to socialize because he was worried about his annual tuition of 10,000 yuan, and the "sky-high" tuition fee made Guo Xiaodong unable to look up. Incompatible with the students in the city where he was born, Guo Xiaodong's inferiority was deeply imprinted in his bones.
The expertise he learned in school was his only asset.
In 2000, Guo Xiaodong finally graduated from Nortel, and his career also ushered in the dawn.
In 2000, director Huo Jianqi filmed "Blue Love", cooperated with Pan Yueming and Yuan Quan, and made a cameo appearance in a small role for the fledgling Guo Xiaodong.
The charm of Guo Xiaodong made director Huo Jianqi remember him and decided to cooperate with this "Shandong boy" in the future.
Guo Xiaodong met his own Bole.
In 2003, Huo Jianqi filmed the movie "Warm" and did not hesitate to invite him to star. "Jinghe", played by Guo Xiaodong, turned his back on his lover "Warm" and was afraid of being involved with "Warm" after leaving the countryside. More than ten years later, seeing that "Nuan" married a mute from the same village, I felt guilty.
In the play, that kind of sad and guilty emotion, Guo Xiaodong interpreted it very well.
On the third day of the start of "Warm", a phone call from his brother made Guo Xiaodong, who had just felt that his life was clear, feel like ashes. Those days became the darkest days of his life.
Fortunately, "Warm" also lived up to expectations and successfully won the Golden Kirin Award at the 16th Tokyo International Film Festival. Guo Xiaodong finally became popular.
怒甩“白富美”老婆20次
After becoming popular, Guo Xiaodong's solid acting skills have made his play path wider and wider.
From the phoenix man in "The New Marriage Era" to the rich man who gave everything for the revolution in "Tibet Secret". Guo Xiaodong is highly recognized.
On the road of struggle, Guo Xiaodong also met his beloved Cheng Lisha. Cheng Lisha is an uncompromising Bai Fumei, and Cheng Lisha fell in love with Guo Xiaodong at first sight when filming "Northern Wind".
Cheng Lisha began a long road of pursuing her husband. Before marriage, Guo Xiaodong had broken up with Cheng Lisha up to 20 times, and Cheng Lisha was humble and begged for peace. But who can say the right thing about feelings.
After five years in love, on November 5, 2007, Guo Xiaodong married Cheng Lisha in Junan County, Linyi City, Shandong Province.
愧对早逝父亲，让母亲的晚年不再流泪
With his wife, Guo Xiaodong did not forget the old woman.
His healthy father died suddenly, and the unfriendly tone that had once been to his father became a pain in Guo Xiaodong's heart.
After marrying Cheng Lisha, the economic conditions were getting better and better, and Guo Xiaodong took his mother to Beijing to live with him.
Once the old rural woman who did not dare to eat on the table, Guo Xiaodong no longer wanted her to secretly cry.
This once poor rural boy lived the life he wanted through his struggle against fate.
