Among the Cantonese comedians, there was once a king of comedy, whose appearance filled the shortcomings of Guangdong comedy and was called "Guangdong Zhou Xingchi" by local audiences.
The evaluation of Stephen Chow is that as long as he starred in the movie, the box office will definitely sell well. And what about him, who has the title of "Guangdong Zhou Xingchi"? With a humorous and humorous acting style, the "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" starring him won the ratings championship for six consecutive years, and even made the drama have a strong vitality, filming until now.
As the soul of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" - "Kang Qizong", a role that can play the word "thrift" to the extreme, a combination of contradictions, usually there is nothing to pit the family, what is cheap to take advantage of, but there is an accident at home and in the neighborhood, he is the first person to take the lead.
Guo Chang, the actor who plays "Kang Qizong", is also a very interesting person in life, and his wife Pan Jie once recalled: Guo Chang was a generous person, and when he went out to eat with friends, he paid for it, and if the family had any situation, he would also let Guo Chang deal with it.
Even when Guo Chang learned that he was ill, he still insisted on filming and putting his career first, until he could not persist, he knew that in his short life, trying to make the audience happy was the professional quality of a comedian.
In 1956, Guo Chang was born in an ordinary family in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and his father and mother's relationship was unstable and often quarrelsome, until he was ten years old, when his mother took Guo Chang away from his hometown and settled in Guangzhou.
A hometown dialect made Guo Chang ridiculed, and the climate difference between the north and the south and the gap in culture made Guo Chang, who had just arrived in Guangzhou, very uncomfortable, and he had asked his mother many times why she moved to Guangzhou.
His mother replied to him: Because to live, there must be a new beginning.
After a few years, Guo Chang adapted to life in Guangzhou, and his local dialect became more and more pure, not knowing that his colleagues and friends in his hometown thought he was a local.
For Guo Chang, Guangzhou is indeed his second hometown, where he grew up.
Life makes Guo Chang know how to cherish, he never complains about the misunderstanding or misinterpretation of others, and uses an optimistic and upward attitude to face life.
After barely finishing middle school, Guo Chang went to work in the Guangzhou Workers' and People's Trade Union, where he had friends and colleagues from all over the world, which made Guo Chang as happy as a fish.
Guo Chang's comedic talent was "opened" here, and in just one year, he quickly became the core figure in the troupe because of his outstanding performance.
The delegation starred everywhere and became Guo Chang's daily work, but Guo Chang wanted to develop further, to learn and see the world.
He signed up for the TV station and went to the TV station as he wished.
There is no network, no relationship, Guo Chang started from the dragon set, hard work, dirty work he is not abandoned, as long as there is a role, no matter how small the role, he is willing to try, to play well.
Once he asked for a passerby role, and his colleagues told him not to be so active, anyway, they were all background pictures under the camera.
But Guo Chang did not think so, he put his mind on acting, then the roles he played in his eyes, are the protagonists.
In 1986, the thirty-year-old Guo Chang ushered in a gift, he starred in the sitcom "Kaleidoscope", the filming method of the play inspired Guo Chang's thinking, allowing him to lay the foundation for the success of the subsequent "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang".
Out of control, Guo Chang gradually became famous in the Local Crew of Guangdong, and more and more people looked for him to shoot.
Guo Chang has also filmed a number of excellent works, such as "Gone with the Wind in Hong Kong", "Love Full of Pearl River", "Baby Husband Petite Wife" and other dramas.
In 1992, Guo Chang and Pan Changjiang and others took the stage to perform the Spring Festival Gala, and cooperated in the sketch "Caotai Team", to know that Guo Chang was the first actor representing the Spring Festival Gala in Guangdong, which was an honor and an account of Guo Chang to the audience who loved him.
In the face of Guo Chang, who is not inferior to his funny ability, Pan Changjiang plans to invite Guo Chang to stay and cooperate for a long time.
Unfortunately, Guo Changzhi was not here, and after starring in the Spring Festival Gala, he resolutely returned to Guangdong and continued his acting career.
Probably the idea of Ning for the chicken head rather than the phoenix tail, Guo Chang is still shining in the Guangdong local drama.
After that, the TV series "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" was filmed, which made Guo Chang popular throughout Guangdong and Guangxi.
His wife Pan Jie!
Pan Jie is very beautiful and understanding.
Originally, Pan Jie was an ordinary nurse, because of unfairness at work, she became an actress professionally.
Guo Chang and Pan Jie met in a bar, and Guo Chang, who first met Pan Jie, was still a teenager who struggled for his ideals, but Guo Chang was not afraid of everything and pursued Pan Jie.
Under Guo Chang's pursuit, the two of them walked together.
Under the persuasion of Guo Chang, Pan Jie applied for the third artist training class of Guangdong Television Station and successfully graduated.
When they first got together, it was the low point of Guo Chang's career, often there was no drama to shoot, in order to maintain his life, Guo Chang often ran to do part-time work.
Guo Chang once wanted to give up being an actor, after all, the unstable lifestyle is not suitable for Guo Chang to get married, but Pan Jie still believes that Guo Chang can get better, and talented people will always shine.
In early 2000, Guo Chang and Pan Jie rewrote their lives for starring in a play.
The costume drama "Chen Mengji Chuangqi" is starred by Zhang Weijian and Wu Mengda, while Guo Chang and Pan Jie play the parents of Chen Mengji (played by Zhang Weijian).
Pan Jie and Zhang Weijian became good friends.
After filming this TV series, Guo Chang entered the group "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" and started a different life.
Born in the northeast and raised in Guangdong, Guo Chang played the local stinginess of "Kang Qizong" brilliantly.
What are the little people?
Guo Chang believes that people who run for life, people who worry about three meals, and people who work hard to improve their lives, although the characters are small, their hearts are not low.
At Guo Chang's suggestion, Lao ErKang Qizong was ostensibly a man who could squeeze water out of a stone, but his heart was kind and willing to help others.
Guo Chang jokingly explained that when there are no bad people, Kang Qizong acts as a "bad person", and when there are bad people, Kang Qizong is the first to come out and fight the bad guys, which is the contradictory Kang Qizong.
It is also this kind of setting that makes "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" change from a small-cost production to a grounded, light and funny conscience drama.
Seeing her husband's success, Pan Jie also worked hard to cooperate with Guo Chang's work, and in the early filming of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", Pan Jie made many cameo roles in the play: lao Sankang Qiyao's subordinate, the waiter who poured water, and so on.
After the fire of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", Guo Chang devoted himself wholeheartedly to filming, and he often did not return home for several days.
Someone asked Pan Jie, Guo Chang did not go home like this, was she not worried?
Pan Jie replied, Guo Chang is wherever he is!
Pan Jie ran to the crew of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" as soon as she had time, and she was willing to help bring tea and water.
Blossom everywhere, a bright light!
After Guo Chang's highlight moment opened, Pan Jie's career also changed.
After the ups and downs, Zhang Weijian starred in "Fang Mu Shen Detective", it was pointed out that Pan Jie starred in the "Thirteen Niang" of the play, and it was Zhang Weijian who played Fang Tianmu's mother.
Zhang Weijian said that Pan Jie's acting skills have an appeal, like in life, can not say but indispensable.
Then Pan Jie played the mother of the male protagonist in "The Ghost of Qiannu" starring Chen Xiaodong and Big S the following year.
In the days that followed, invitations to Invite Pan Jie to play the role of "Mother" increased.
A bad news, let Pan Jie give up everything.
Guo Chang's body had problems, and he had cancer.
Pushing away all the invitations, Pan Jie accompanied Guo Chang wholeheartedly, only hoping that her husband could win this silent war.
Guo Chang is a principled person, he knows that "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" is largely his role of Kang Qizong, and if he disappears out of thin air, it will make the ratings of the show fall.
While fighting the disease, Guo Chang took the disease to act.
And Pan Jie became Guo Chang's "assistant".
In one late night, Guo Chang said to Pan Jie, please forgive my selfishness, you sacrificed a lot for me.
Pan Jie couldn't help but cry, the husband and wife had a lot of calculations.
During Guo Chang's treatment, Pan Jie did not play any roles, but Guo Chang left with regret when he was fifty years old.
Pan Jie, who was left with swollen eyes, and their daughter.
Their daughter was only eleven years old, and she had lost her father at an age when she understood.
Guo Chang's departure hit Pan Jie very hard.
It took Pan Jie two years to ease up.
Pan Jie found that she had not filmed for many years, and she did not know whether she would be able to become an actor in the future.
In 2008, in the preparation of "Seventy-two Tenants", the director personally invited Pan Jie to play the role of "Aunt Lan".
Viewers who have watched "Seventy-Two Tenants" will find that Aunt Lan is more or less as stingy as "Kang Qizong".
Maybe this is another continuation of "life"!
In addition to filming, Pan Jie cares about her daughter, and when she has free time, she will stay at home, chat with her daughter, and watch local dramas such as "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" or "Seventy-Two Tenants".
Unconsciously, Guo Chang had been gone for sixteen years, and his daughter had already grown up and fallen generously.
And Pan Jie brought up the woman alone, and in these years, Pan Jie did not choose to remarry, and went single.
Even though Guo Chang was gone, Pan Jie still felt that Guo Chang had not left, but was in her heart.
Maybe that's love!
