"Qing Yu Nian" is on fire, in addition to the attractive plot, the acting skills of Chen Daoming, Li Jianyi, Wu Gang and other old drama bones in the play have also made many audiences addicted, and many supporting roles also have their own characteristics, which is impressive.
Fan Siru, played by Guo Qilin, is cute and kind and greedy for money; Wang Qinian, played by Tian Yu, is afraid of internal blood and greedy for money; "masked" Wuzhu is strong in martial arts, although silent and taciturn, he accompanies Fan Xian to grow up; Teng Zijing, who has feelings and righteousness, was killed to protect Fan Xian... In addition to the positive characters, the villain Guo Baokun is also a living treasure- like existence. In the play, Guo Baokun is the second son of Reibe Shoshu and the earliest opponent That Fan Xian first met in Kyoto. Relying on his father's identity, Guo Baokun can be described as a hegemon in Kyoto, but after meeting Fan Xian, he met his nemesis. Quarrels and fights could not be fought, and even the poetry he was best at lost to Fan Xian and was seriously injured by Fan Xian. Many viewers joked that this villain is a bit cute.
Guo Baokun is played by 37-year-old Jia Jinghui. For more than 10 years, Jia Jinghui has starred in popular dramas such as "Divorce Lawyer", "Mr. Li Who Met Love", and "Women Are Not Strong". On the other hand, Jia Jinghui still has more time left for the drama stage, winning the Most Potential Newcomer Award at the 14th Zuolin Drama Art Award in 2010 and the Best Actor Award at the 17th Zuolin Drama Art Award in 2013 with the drama "Glory Day".
In an interview with a Red Star News reporter, Jia Jinghui believed that Guo Baokun is a somewhat intelligent, filial piety, and paranoid figure, and what he wants to do must be done. But what he did in the process and the comedic effect he finally presented was not deliberately funny.

During the shooting, I didn't dare to look in the mirror, thinking the shape was a bit scary
Reporter: What kind of person is Guo Baokun, who is played this time?
Jia Jinghui: This is a person with a little talent, after all, it is the compilation in the palace. In the eyes of others, he is not so smart, but in fact, he himself feels that he is still quite smart. He is very filial, more paranoid, a very obsessive person, and what he has to do must be done; there is a little ambition, but this ambition may actually be seen by others, just to guard his own acre and three points in this palace, such a person.
Reporter: "Qing Yu Nian" was your first costume drama, how did you get involved with this drama at that time?
Jia Jinghui: I have never acted in a costume drama before, this time because I have admired director Sun Hao for a long time, I have seen all his previous plays, I like it very much, I am very happy after receiving the invitation of Director Sun, I met such a good opportunity, such a good script, such a good producer and a director I personally like very much, I went. After setting makeup, in fact, I have not been very confident about my style, I think it is strange, during the whole shooting process, I did not look in the mirror much, because I felt a little scary, like a monster.
Reporter: After being beaten by Fan xian in the play, he was wrapped up in a "mummy" and lay down. Many viewers saw this scene and thought it was particularly funny, what is the story of filming this scene?
Jia Jinghui: The director said at the time, let's shoot the scene after the beating in two days, give me the whole mummy. I was confused, I always thought the director was joking. Then when it was time to shoot that scene, they came and bandaged me, and I said are you sure you want to wrap it like this? This is a very nonsensical treatment in my opinion, and I have always felt that this drama is quite correct, so I said that this treatment will not be a little too much, the director said, no, you must have no problem listening to me. I trusted the director, but I was actually a little hesitant about that, and I wasn't sure if the audience could get it, and then when it aired, I watched, wow, director Cow.

Reporter: Was there anything impressive about the filming process?
Jia Jinghui: Guo Baokun is still a relatively funny person in it, so many funny passages are presented in the play, let me talk about a scene that is more impressive. I remember filming the scene where Guo Youzhi was taken away, and then Guo Baokun went to beg not to take my father away. Because I have no experience in shooting costume dramas, anyway, I act for real, that is, to really give that feeling to the audience. So I chased all the way out of the mansion, and I remember my hood cracking and the straps on my head falling off. Then the director didn't stop, I just continued to act. After the performance, the director came over and said that it was very good, and this article could pass. As a result, the makeup came over and said sorry, we have to do it all over again, because the actor's hood has collapsed. The director did a special thing that moved me at that time, saying that the play had passed, and as for the hood collapsing, that is, you did not stick well, I only kept the play here, and the actor's emotions were the first. Since then, I have been very secure in this crew, and I have been very secure when I was creating.
Reporter: The scene of the assassination squad is very joyful, but some people think it is nonsense. What do you think?
Jia Jinghui: Guo Baokun is a person with an obsession, he is very persistent in doing a thing, although he looks a little stupid, stupid, in the process he is a very persistent person. So even if he couldn't find a crack army, he didn't have such a cattle weapon, but he would still do it with one tendon. He also hesitated, but his heart wanted to kill Fan Xian's heart, and his obsession was too strong, so he kept doing it. I don't know if the screenwriter did this comedic treatment on purpose, but it makes perfect sense from a character perspective. The so-called comedy is that the more serious the character is to do a thing, because the position is different, so it leads to a sense of joy when the audience watches, then when we actors encounter similar plays, they must be more serious, sincere to complete, to find his inner rationality and continuity, otherwise it will become hard to make others laugh, it is not funny.
Reporter: Everyone says that Guo Baokun is a villain who comes to be funny, what do you think?
Jia Jinghui: Funny villain. This is actually the result that everyone has seen. I stand in the perspective of the character, first of all, I am not here to be funny, that may come out of the effect is more funny, may be the character written more interesting. First of all, he does everything seriously, not deliberately funny.
Reporter: What do you think of the rampant piracy on the Internet right now?
Jia Jinghui: I think everyone should still support the genuine version, after all, so many people have worked hard for so long, more than eight months, we are for one thing, day and night, no matter whether it is cloudy or rainy, everyone is very, very serious, and try to do one thing.
In life, I am a sharp person

Reporter: What kind of personality are you living?
Jia Jinghui: I am not a funny person in my life. I am a more mean person in my life, I will see the essence of many things to the point, and then I will be ruthlessly poked, often after being punctured, they will laugh. I am a relatively sharp person, in life, in fact, the contrast with Guo Baokun is still quite large.
Reporter: You have been working on the drama stage, how do you think about the popularity?
Jia Jinghui: Red or not red must be the first criterion for the audience to test an actor. I don't think there is anything wrong with this standard, what goes with it is actually your work, the amount of your work and the amount of accepted works, when an audience sees that you first think of a character, immediately call out the name of that character, the second time he should call out your name, this is a process. In this industry, most people who can be called actors are constantly doing what they should do and working hard all the time. As for the red or not red after the effort, that is the providence of destiny.
Reporter: Your 2002 class of drama has come out of a lot of stars, like Lei Jiaying and Sun Yizhou are your classmates, is there anything interesting about going to school?
Jia Jinghui: Yes, Lei Jiayin and Sun Yizhou are our classmates, and there are many very good actors in our class, such as Li Nian and Du Ruoxi, these are all good actors in our class, in fact, there are many good actors in our class, but they are still working the road to success, I believe that one day everyone will know their names. Lei Jiayin reads books every day in school, he is particularly powerful, he can read a book in about three or five days, read everything, and the amount of reading he has accumulated in four years is really very large. Now think about it, there is a reason why people are so popular, because when you are eating, drinking and having fun, he has read a lot of books, which is accumulation. The books he read were of great help to his understanding and treatment of the characters and the understanding of the play after he became an actor.
Reporter: In the acting career, do you have any expectations for yourself?
Jia Jinghui: Acting is the only thing I can do, and I love very much, I will definitely have expectations, I hope that I will be recognized by more audiences, recognized by more audiences, and loved, but all these recognitions are good, love or not, are derived from the works I can come up with and what I can let everyone see, then I will seriously do what I should do in this process. I feel that I do not forget my original intention, this sentence is what I have always reminded myself, I will try not to forget the original intention of why I want to do this, if I have the opportunity in the future, I can become a more popular actor, that is my honor.
